MEMORANDUM FOR: DDCI
SA/DDCI
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Director's Note on NAPA
1. I've read the draft DCI Notes on NAPA. They come out rather
dry and sterile to me. They don't convey a rationale for the changes
and a philosophy of personnel management behind them. For instance,
there .is no mention of why we want rotation. There is no mention of
the reasons we would like to have the panels the same across the Agency.
There is no real indication that overall policy and planning for
personnel is being centralized in the,,Office of Personnel and thereby
we hope to do a better job of predicting needs and finding where we
can best locate our employees to satisfy the Agency's requirements
and the employees' capabilities.
2. Overall, the key points of the philosophic papers I wrote are
not incorporated in here. As I indicated, I would like this Director's
Note to be something that will be read with interest and a recognition
that we are trying to better the outlook for our employe
