4. (U/AIUO) Personnel Management DCI Concern
Mr. Gambino advised that the DCI had made known his concern
for the overall personnel system as it now functions in the
Agency. The DCI felt that a uniform policy should be
adopted in advising employees of the number of vacancies
(head room by grade) and in the timing of promotions.
The OS system was cited by the DCI as an example of how
these aspects of personnel management should be approached.
In response to questions, Mr. Gambino advised the DCI that
OS does not publish head room figures and does not volunteer
rankings within a given grade to employees. However, the
Director of Security has no objection to publishing figures
on the number of vacancies and told the DCI that employees
can determine ranking simply by asking.
The DCI also noted that employees ranked in the bottom
3 percent should be identified and afforded appropriate
counseling by supervisors. The counseling should emphasize
that employees. ranked in the lower percentiles must improve
performance to avoid the possibility of termination.
5. (U/ArUO) Security Standards for Consultants
It was announced that the DCI had set standards governing
whether or not consultants will be polygraphed. All will
be subject to a background investigation and must qualify
for a Top Secret clearance. However, only those afforded
access to Sensitive Compartmented Information will be
polygraphed.
6. (U/AIUO) Management by Objective (MBO)
Mr. Gambino stressed that managers who prepare action
plans related to MBO objectives must be realistic in
setting time needed for completion. This applies to
both OS and DDA level objectives. The Office must give
quarterly MBO accounting and the Director of Security
emphasized that failure to meet the schedule for a
given objective is not appreciated.
7. (U/AIUO) Proposed Executive Order
The Executive Order intended to supersede Executive
Order 11905 has been forwarded to-the White House,
and it is expected that the President will sign it
before the end of this month. Based on a review of
the last draft of the proposal made available to the
Agency, it is not believed that the functions of OS
will be curtailed by provisions of the new order.

8. (U/AI;UO).Change in Counseling Schedule
The Career Board has determined that mandatory counseling
of OS employees by supervisors will occur three times a

Supervisors will ensure that employees are advised when
counseling represents official implementation of the new
policy.
