Subject: Statutory Authority for Proposed
SIS System (OGC 79-00857)
1. This memorandum proposes for your approval statements
of policy and procedures for administering the program of
sabbaticals for Senior Intelligence Service (SIS) members.
2. Definition: A sabbatical is a period of official
absence from regular duty status in order to conduct a program
of learning, research, work experience or other activity which
has been approved by the Agency and which will contribute to
an SIS member's development and effectiveness as a substantive
expert or executive. A sabbatical may relate to the individual's
present job or the mission of his or her organization, or it
may relate to preparation for.a change of assignment or career
field within the Agency. The sabbatical should not be sub-
stituted for external training designed to meet specific work
requirements, but it should be an integral and planned element
of the SIS member's career under the Executive Development
Program.
3. Eligibility: Any member of the SIS may be granted
a sabbatical after the completion of seven years of service

required a minimum of two years' additional service upon
completion of the sabbatical. In the event the employee fails
to remain in the service for two years he or she shall be

by the DCI/DDCI -- to the United States Government for payment

expenses, including per diem allowances, as may be determined
to be essential for the sabbatical activity. Any compensation
received in connection with a sabbatical activity must be
returned to the Agency or offset by an equivalent reduction in
salary. An individual on sabbatical assignment normally will
not be eligible for a cash award under the SIS Program during
the period of the sabbatical, however.
6. Administrative Procedures: A sabbatical may be
proposed by an individual or by the individual's component.
It should take the form of a proposal which outlines the
activity to be conducted during the sabbatical period, the
subject matter, if appropriate, the places in which the
sabbatical is to be accomplished, and the expected results
of the sabbatical in terms of contributing to the employee's
effectiveness or otherwise enhancing CIA's mission. The
memorandum of request should be originated by the individual
and presented for concurrence or non-concurrency by the heads
of the individual's component and career service. The proposal
will be reviewed and evaluated by the CIA Training Selection
Board and be submitted to the DCI/DDCI for approval. Individuals
under cover must also receive the concurrence of the Chief, Central
