- Delegable item; if you want me to sign
off, I will.
- However, given the emotional history of
this issue, I thought you should see
the package.
- Recognizing that a large part of all this
is political (i.e., the DCI can hire/fire
whom he wishes in NIC/SRP), we ought to
talk about some of the realities.
- Given the complexities, Jim's proposal
makes sense, at least as an interim solution
to a decision from our putting a case to
OMB for increased SIS ceiling.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting. Director of Central Intelligence
THROUGH: Executive Director
FROM: James N. Glerum
Director of Personnel
SUBJECT: SIS Ceiling Allocations for the I and E Career Services
REFERENCE: Marro for ExDir, from D/OP, dtd 15 March 82,
Subject: NIC/DDI/E Career Service SIS Matters
1. Action Requested: That you approve the recommendations contained in
paragraph 3.
2. Background and Staff Position:
a. The reference expressed my concerns regarding the impact on
the I and E Career Services SIS headroom resulting fran the
reallocation of SIS ceiling and change of Career Service designations
for the NIC SIS officers. Furthermore, inclusion of the NIC and the
SRP under the "E" Career Service may cause difficulty in the future in
finding assignments for officers no longer suited for or who no longer
desire assignment with the NIC/SRP. Considering the nature of the
NIC/SRP organization and its unique staffing requirements, I recommend
that a separate SIS ceiling allocation be established not to exceed
the Agency SIS ceiling to SIS position percentage of In other5xi
words, the NIC SRP would be authorized a separate SIS ceiling ~1
applying thel percent figure to an SIS approved position total 9tx1
Currently ere areISIS officers charged to the NIC/SRP 25x1
Staffing Complement, meaning that they may promote or hire five
additional officers and remain within their SIS headroom. Recognizing
that the Director places a high priority on the staffing of these
organizations and in the event it becanes necessary to exceed this
approved ceiling, the DCI SIS ceiling reserve is available for this
purpose..
b. Correspondingly, the DDI SIS ceiling will be decreased from
which will create a negative headroan situation. The DDI21 1
aware of this and believes that attrition and the approval of new SIS
positions will partially relieve the problem. It is also hoped that
our paper on the need for additional SIS ceiling will receive a
favorable reaction fran OMB.
