MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Central Intelligence
SUBJECT Detail to the Treasury Department Secretariat
REFERENCE : Memo to DDI from Ben Evans, dtd 17 Mar 77,
Subj: Support to Treasury Executive
Secretariat
1. Referenced memo relays an informal request from Jeanne
Davis, who is now head of the Secretariat at the Treasury Department,
for the detail of several professionals to her organization to
assist in the preparation of a cable/correspondence summary for the
Secretary of the Treasury. Follow-up conversations with Ms. Davis
revealed that she has since filled two of the three positions (the
day shift positions) with Treasury employees and is really only asking
the Agency for a GS-11-13 "analyst/writer" to work the midnight to
0800 shift.
2. We have discussed this request with Ms. Davis and expressed
our concern that (a) a CIA employee would be preparing summaries for
the Secretary of the Treasury which would contain some domestic
information, and (b) there is little in the way of a career develop-
ment opportunity for our employee in a detail of this type. We did
agree to inquire to see if one of our professionals wanted to take
the assignment for several months to help Treasury get started with
the summary. Not unexpectedly, we found no one who was interested.
3. Assuming that there is no requirement that the Agency direct
someone to fill this position, I recommend that Jeanne Davis be
informed that we are unable to satisfy her request.

MEMORANDUM FOR: DDI

D31 # //d7 -
1. Mrs. Jeanne Davis, formerly NSC Staff Secretary and now at
Treasury advising them on the establishment of a Secretariat, phoned
me last night to say that Secretary Blumenthal has approved the estab-
lishment of a Secretariat along the lines recommended by Jeanne. Noting
how pleased she was with the performance of Agency detailees to the
-NSC, she went on to say that there are three positions she needs to fill:
a senior editor (GS-13 to 15) who is willing to work 0400 to 1200 shift and
two analyst/writers. (GS-11 to 13) who are willing to work shifts.
2. She said she would not ask us to fill all three, but perhaps two
positions of our choice. She explained what they would be doing, and as
near as I can tell, they would be developing a daily publication which
would be similar to a merger of our DCI Daily Journal and a cable
summary. Before raising this "officially, " she asked for an interim
appraisal of our willingness.
