Excerpts from ODP Staff Meeting - 30 October 1981 (U)
1. There was no staff meeting on 23 October 1981. (U)
2. Mr. Jack Blake has resigned from the staff of the Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence. Mr. Robert Simmons is his
replacement as Staff Director. (U)
3. The Office of Information Services has established a
computer link with the off-site installation where archives and
retired records are stored. (U)
4. The DDA Office Directors were briefed by OGC and DDO
personnel on 23 October on the replacement for Executive Order
12036. Contrary to the impression created by press reports, the
new Executive Order does not reflect major changes from the old
one. It is different in tone, and states more positively what is
permissible, rather than emphasizing negative aspects. The basic
responsibilities and authorities remain the same with a few
exceptions, and those are all specifically limited to activities
the Agency may conduct in support of legitimate foreign policy
objectives and activities conducted abroad. Procedures for
implementing the Executive Order have been simplified. (C)
5. During the recent emergency power test, all five gen-
erators started well, but the test was interrupted when one of the
UPS battery chargers began to smoke. A different type of charger
will be installed before the next test. (U)
6. There are only two weeks to go to the end of the CFC
campaign. All but 29 cards have been turned in to the Adminis-
trative Staff and we are close to our goal. Those whose cards are
still outstanding are urged to make a special effort to turn them
in as soon as possible. (U)
7. The President has reestablished the President's Foreign
Intelligence Advisory Board. Ms. Anne Armstrong is Chairman, Mr.
Leo Cherne is Vice Chairman. (U)
8. We can expect severe budget pressure during FY-82. DDA
offices have been tasked to make a list of least critical require-
ments up to a total of 15% of the non-personal services budget.
Training and travel funds will require very careful adminis-
tration. (U)
9. Contrary to the report in the Excerpts dated 20 October,

Biweek Payroll System. The Legislative Pay Increase (LPI),
effective pay period 22, was processed on 16 October. The pre-
ceeding morning (Thursday, 15 October), President Reagan had signed
the authorizing bill. The Office of Finance (OF) requested that
the final payroll processing be delayed until 16 October, and 'that
an additional edit process be run the night of 15 October. This
gave OF the capability of verifying transactions that were held
because of the LPI. They completed their review and resubmitted
corrections by 1400 hrs. 16 October. In addition, we modified a
payroll program so that the new salaries would be inserted in place
of the old salaries for the incoming personnel and CENCO
