MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Personnel
FROM Don I. Wortman
Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT NAPA Project Group Report
1. As requested, my comments regarding the specific
recommendations A through H of the NAPA Project Group are
contained in paragraph 2 below. Comments on the remaining
recommendations will be forwarded by 28 November.
2. The following comments are keyed to the Report tabs.
I concur with each of the recommendations not.. addressed below.
A. There is little question that the Guide
to Law of Central Intelligence Agency shoul e
updated and kept current. However, I do question
whether this lengthy and legally worded Guide
would be clearly understood and of use to all senior
managers. I fully support recommendation C that
charges the General Counsel with developing a single
uniform interpretation of the I's autho ities for
the layman reade ccordingly, I suggest that the
e e up ated and be read periodically by a
" ew selected senior managers" who need to have a
full and detailed understanding of thP,. D6Ilegal
-Z7e
nageZs\XoA\,te~and \in udi the b
proposed by the NAPA Project Group. However, I
suggest that recommendation B be expanded to
include a statement that "all analyses prepared (for
the DDCI) will be maintained in a central location
in the Office of Personnel." If such were not the
case, it is possible that the various analyses would
be held by whichever OP offices prepared the reports.
B. I agree with each of the recommendations

 Approved For F~elease 2006/12/19: CIA-RDP83-001500600020018-1
H. I agree with the thrust of the Project
Group's recommendation but I believe even stronger
emphasis should be placed on the use of rotational
assignments for the staffing of "E" positions.
Accordingly, I would restate the recommendation as
follows:
Retain the "E" Career Service but
encourage to the maximum degree possible
professional "E" career positions being
staffed by officers on rotational assignment
from other career services.
