SUBJECT : Special DCI Study: Evaluation of Impact of Congressional
Investigations on Agency Effectiveness
1. During the past two to three years the Agency has experienced
considerable public exposure and Congressional inquiry. Speculation,
both within and outside the Agency has proliferated regarding the extent
to which this external pressure has had an impact on both employee
morale and operating effectiveness. In order to provide some clarifi-
cation of the actual impact on the Agency, the DCI has tasked the Office
of Personnel/Plans Staff with formulating a questionnaire which would
solicit the views of a cross section of Agency managers regarding their
perceptions of the severity of the influence of these external factors.
2. It was decided that the most appropriate level to query through
this procedure would be those Agency officials who were Staff or Division
Chiefs in the Administration, Intelligence and Science and Technology
Directorates and Area Branch Chiefs or equivalent positions in the
Operations Directorate. As a result, the attached questionnaire has been
mailed to you for your consideration and response. While you may have
only recently occupied your present position, we would still appreciate
your views on any or all questions on which you feel you have some
information.
3. Your candid answers to this questionnaire will be greatly
appreciated and will assist the DCI in his efforts to clarify how the
Agency has reacted to these pressures. The results of the survey will be
available during the month of December.
