SUBJECT : Management Advisory Group for the
Intelligence Directorate (MAGID)
1. The Executive Secretary, CIA. Management Committee,
during the CIA Management Committee meeting on 1 June 1973,
asked that each Directorate establish a management advisory group.
2. There will be established, effective 1 July 1973, a
Management Advisory Group for the Intelligence Directorate (MAGID).
3. The basic purpose of MAGID is to assist me and other
managers in the Directorate in improving the operation of the
Intelligence Directorate by supplementing the established channels
of communication. It will identify problems worthy of management
attention and will suggest solutions for these and other problems
already identified by management. Obviously, it will not supplant
the authority of existing line and staff components nor will it have
any production responsibilities.
4. MAGID will be composed of eight officers, one from
each of the offices and services of the Directorate and one from
the Directorate's staffs. Service on MAGID will be for one-year
tours and in addition to assigned duties. Although I plan to meet

regularly with MAGID, it will normally report to me through the
Chief, Executive Staff, DDI, who will provide general guidance and
assistance in its operation.
5. The immediate task is for you to nominate participants.
I would like to receive your nominations no later than 29 June.
Each office will provide candidates for the following age brackets:
25-30; 31-35; 36-40; 41-45. Each office will provide a total of
four nominations. Your nominees should have at least one year's
service and should be in the GS-09 to GS-15 category. Each should
possess a pattern of fitness report evaluations of at least "Strong".
You should nominate only officers who could serve at least a one-
year tour and with the understanding that effective participation in
MAGID may occasionally require substantial amounts of their on-
duty time. Obviously, MAGID will provide its participants with a
unique opportunity to gain insights into the problems, plans and
dynamics of the Directorate. For this reason, I urge you to nominate
people who have the potential for advancement and whose experience
on MAGID will benefit the operation and management of the Directorate
in the future.
6. To get MAGID off to a good start, I propose that during
its first six months there will be two representatives who have
served on the Agency Management Advisory Group. One of these
persons will serve as chairman for the first six months. A. rotational
pattern will be established from the officers chosen from your nomi-
nations so that some initial appointments will be for less than a year
and others will be somewhat longer.
