SUBJECT: Staff Agent Fitness Reports
1. At your request I have reviewed the procedures in the Clandestine
Services for the handling of ,Staff A. Fitness;Reports.^nRegu,at1Pn s No.
and
~datea to r evruai y 1>~, ~r _ _ r
procedures concerned in the preparation of Fitness Reports for Staff Employees
and Staff Agents. The procedure followed is that the supervisor completes the
report at a specific interval, transmits it to the Reviewing Official, the
latter forwards it to the Personnel Officer concerned who forwards the ori-
ginal and one copy directly to the Office of Personnel (to Contract Personnel
Division in the case of Staff Agents), and the second copy to the Career
Service concerned for their records. We have checked our Clandestine Services'
Career Service records and have found on a random inspection basis that we
are receiving the Staff Agent Fitness Reports generally with the same regula-
rity and under the same procedures we are for the Fitness Reports of Staff
Employees. Several Divisions were also called to determine whether any diffe-
rence existed in the handling of Staff Agent and Staff Employee Fitness Reports
and it was determined that no distinction was being made in the handling of
these cases so far as Fitness Report procedures were concerned except the
referral of Staff Agent Fitness Reports to Contract Personnel Division (where
Staff Agent records are maintained) rather than to the PI in RSD.
2. It is apparent from the above that there is no reason to conclude
that there are any essential lapses in the handling of Fitness Report pro-
cedures for Staff Agents as opposed to Staff Employees inthe Clandestine
Services. It is to be expected, however, that because of the deep cover
situation under which many Staff Agents operate,, security consideration
might occasion delays that are difficult to control in the timely submission
of all Fitness Reports.
