SUBJECT : Management Advisory Group (MAG) Review of
Agency Policy and Practices Concerning
Hir' 'or Retention of Persons Involved
1. MAO, both as a body and with a sub-ccmnittee, has studied
the subject of this memo during March and April 1977. Our concern
was to review the following points:
a. What is Agency policy?
b. Is Agency policy on firm legal and scientific
ground?
c. Is Agency policy so formulated that it can be
defended and enforced rationally and effectively?
The main input to NAG was provided by Mr. Robert Gambino, D/OS,
in a personal meeting with MAG on 6 April 1977. Additional data
was furnished by Mr. Ben Evans to sub-corrittee members. Further
perspectives were collected from interviews and papers from Agency
employees who are specialists in the behavioral sciences, and from
informal discussions with working level security officers. Finally,
MAG members also drew upon their individual professional experiences.
2. Our general conclusion is that Agency policy and practices
concerning Subject as of spring 1977 are reasonable and are given
to reasonable occasional review. MAG's understanding of the specifics
are as follows:

4. Finally, MAG sincerely appreciates the contribution of
other employees to this study. Mr. Gambino's clear and open
presentation was particularly helpful and reassuring as to the
essential soundness of the Agency's current approach to Subject
matters.
