MEMORANDUM FOR: Major General Lew Allen, Jr., D/DCI/IC
EJECT : Suggested Procedures for Assignment of DOD
Personnel to the Intelligence Conol Staff
1. As you requested, I have explored with officials in the Department
of Defense possible procedures for the assignment of personnel to the
Intelligence Control Staff on a nary-reimbursable basis in such a manner as
to insure that at least the civilian employees concerned would not rind
themselves without jobs when their tours with the Staff were completed.
2. The problem was discussed with Mr. Robert E. Morrison, Director
of Management, Office of the Assistant Secretary (Intelligence), and with
Mr. George F. Brennan, Chief Personnel Division, and Mr. Karl F. Becker,
Chief Position and Pay Management Branch, Office of the Assistant Secretary
(Comptroller). Mr. Morrison recommended the following procedures for
civilian personnel to be furnished by the Department of Defense:
a. A Standard Form 50 (Civil Service) be prepared for each posi-
tion concerned outlining the grade and qualifications required.
b. The positions required would be assigned to DOD Agency's on
the basis of the skills required.
c. The Agencies concerned would be responsible for budgeting
for and administering the personnel assigned to those positions but their
duty assignment would be to the IC Staff.
d. This system would insure that the individuals concerned were
not without a hone when their tours with the IC Staff were completed. It
can be assumed that most of the offices concerned will insist that they
must have replacements for persons assigned to the IC Staff positions. In
this regard, Mr. Brennan suggested that military officers could be assigned
to fill the void.
e. Normally, clearance must be obtained from the Civil Service
Commission if a regular Civil Service employee (one on the CS Competitive
Register) is to be detailed to another assignment more than 120 days.
Mr. Brennan stated that that problem could be avoided, however, by classi-
fying these assignments as rotational training tours. Clearance from the
Commission is not required for Schedule A Civil Service Personnel.
3. The military personnel required by the Staff could be either drawn
from specific offices such as the Defense Intelligence Agency and the
Intelligence Staffs of the various services or they could be drawn from the
services at large. Under the first system the Agency or office from whence

they came would be responsible for their administration and for including
them in their budget. Under the second system they would have to be
assigned to and administered by special category offices such as Headquarters
USAF Central Control Group for the Air Force, Special Military Personnel
Section, Office of the Adjutant General for Army, and the Naval Field Opera-
tions Support Group for Navy. Although some problems may arise with respect
to allegiance to the offices from which they came, I believe that the first
system would be the most practical, especially if they are not to be in a
reimbursable status.
4. Attached are copies of documents pertinent to the establishment
of the Interagency Caribbean Interrogation Center at Miami in 1962 which may
be useful. The Department of Defense provided 24 military personnel (10 Army,
6 Navy and Marine Corps, and 8 Air Force) for the Center on a nonreimbursable
basis. Army and Air Force personnel assigned to the Center are under the
cognizance of their respective Assistant Chiefs of Staff for Intelligence.
The Navy complement appears to be under the Chief of Naval Operations.
