MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Executive Officer, DDA
SUBJECT: Briefing Program for New Policy Executives
REFERENCE: Your memo, dtd. 19 June 75, Same Subject
(DDA 75-2890)
1. In referenced memorandum you asked my opinion about
the extent to which this Agency will need to participate in the briefing
program described in James Lynn's letter of 6 June. The answer,
I believe, depends upon the interpretation one places on the word
"policy" in the title of the new briefing program. I assume only the
DCI and the DDCI qualify as "policy executives" as implicitly defined
in Lynn's letter, but clearly other senior executives of CIA would
benefit from participation in the program. I suggest that in our
answer we express support for the program and a desire to have
senior careerists included on a space-available basis.
2. Concurrently with your review of the Lynn letter a copy
reached the IC Staff, which recommended to the Director that he ask
Lynn to include material on intelligence in the briefings provided new
policy executives. We have urged that the IC Staff bring their recom-
mendation to you, given the fact that the DDA has the action on the
Lynn letter, and by now you perhaps have heard from them.
3. The IC Staff recommendation has been accepted by the
Director. This means that the Agency response to Lynn should probably
be prepared for the Director's signature. Because of our continuing
responsibility for liaison with OMB, I would be grateful if you would
see to it that we get a copy of the Agency's response.

Re the 0MB memorandum of 6 June,
I have asked to see if
MPRRD can obtain a copy of the reading
materials mentioned in the first
sentence of Paragraph 3. These
materials ought to be of some use to
IC Staff in its preparation of
documents such as the DCI Perspectives
and the Annual Intelligence Budget.

MEMORANDUM FOR HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
In February, we announced that the White House, the Office of Management
and Budget and the Cortinission were engaged in a joint effort to develop
and conduct a Public Service Briefing Program for Policy Executives.
The pZogram for new presidential and top non-career executive appointees
includes these three sequential, elements which address governmentwide
policies, priorities, issues and programs:
pre-entrance orientation based on written materials and
documents
evening meetings for small numbers of new appointees
two-day briefing seminars for a larger number of appointees.
The fourth element in the program, the intra-agency briefings, concen-
trates on agency-related matters. While many organizations currently
provide special briefings for new policy executives, this is not a
universal practice. Consequently, it is our intention to develop and
consolidate general guidance which may be tailored to meet specific
individual agency needs. In addition, a system is needed to insure
inter-agency exchange of information and experience in this briefing
process.
Through the Inter-Agency Advisory Group and its committees on employee
development and training, we have been consulting with the Directors of
Personnel and of Training on the intra-agency briefing element. We
would like to move forward now to make this part of the briefing program
fully operational and, therefore, I am asking that you do the following:
a. designate an official of your agency as the key person to
participate in the development of guidelines-and act as your
liaison to the Commission on this phase of the program
b. forward to us descriptive materials used iri your orientation
programs.
