1. Mr. McConnel presented for consideration a CIA
regulation on deferment. Dr. ,mdrews recommended that the principle
be followed of releasing employees only when replacements are available.
Dr. Millikan stated that the policy would cripple one of his divisions
which required students trained in economics and the iiussian language,
most of which are of draft age, because this type of training has
been in effect only for three or four years. He pointed out that
only 50 to 100 such college graduates are available eacn year, and
that this agency would want approximately one-half of them, all of
whom would be eligible for the draft. Mr. McConnel stated that such
a requirement would be an exception to the regulation. Mr. Jackson
suggested that in this respect the instruction be so modified.
Dr. Millikan asked whether the policy was consistent with the policies
of other agencies and was informed that it was. Dr. Chadwell said
that he believed the wording of the regulation would have a bad
morale effect. He pointed out that he had a number of reserve officers
who might be affected. General Nyman inquired whether reserve officers
could be recruited without danger of their later being called to
active duty. Mr. McConnel said that once we acquired a reserve of-
ficer he could be held. Dr. 1Millikan suggested tine establishment
of a committee to coordinate policy on deferments and to consider
individual cases. Mr. Douglass asked for a list of the personnel
in his office who were eligible for the draft and also a list of the
reserve officers. Mr. McConnel directed the Advisor for Management
to send such a list to each Assistant Director and to convene a
meeting of administrative officers to consider the regulation on
deferments.
Mr. McConnel suggested that the Assistant Directors
adopt a policy requiring their personnel to take a minimum of two
weeks annual leave each year. He pointed out that a considerable
number of employees were sacrificing annual leave, and that it could
have a serious effect on morale and working efficiency if employees
made a practise of this and became run down.

3. Colonel Baird reported on the interdepartmental meeting
on subsidization of the Social Science Research Council to train area
specialists. He said that among the subjects considered at the
meeting was whether deferment was possible, whether legislation was
necessary, what the specific CIA training requirements were, and
whether the CIA would agree to a gentlemen's agreement that we would
hold off our recruiting at least for the present. Col. Baird pointed
out the possibility for our25X1
requirements, and recommended that the CIA intensify its recruiting
program at the present time. It was decided that Col. Baird would
continue to represent the agency at meetings on this subject and would
advise the Deputy Director for ;administration of developments.
Colonel Baird reported on the indoctrination course to
be held on four consecutive mornings from April 10 through 13. He
noted that comments on the last course suggested that it would be
beneficial to old employees as well as new ones.
