MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT : Report on CIA Personnel Evaluation Board
1. Pursuant to your request I am submitting a status report on the
activities of the CIA Personnel Evaluation Board which was established by
General Carter's directive of 30 May 1964, a copy of which is attached.
2. As you know, the Personnel Evaluation Board replaced the former
Agency Disposition Board, the initial impetus for such action deriving
from General Carter's memorandum of 13 March 1964, in which I was directed
to "conduct a thorough investigation of any case which comes to our at-
tention which raises questions of suitability for continued employment ..."
It was considered advisable to broaden the scope of the Disposition Board
as a mechanism for assisting me in carrying out this directive.
3. Subsequent to the issuance of the 30 May memorandum, the Personnel
Evaluation Board met three times, reviewing a total of eight cases. In all
of these cases except two, medical factors were predominant. In five of
the eight cases, excessive drinking appears to have played a significant
role. Two of the eight cases reviewed are being resolved through disability
retirement. One will be resolved through reassignment. One individual
resigned subsequent to Board review, and four cases are still in process
or suspended for further review at a later date.
4. As the Board continues to function, I intend to refer to it cases
involving questions of suitability not necessarily relating to medical
factors. It is also my intention to present to the Board for their con-
sideration cases involving general suitability questions of Agency-wide
significance, such as cases of chronic indebtedness, problems of serious
domestic difficulties, and so forth. Obviously, it will take some time
and a degree of educational effort to achieve some acceptance of this new
role on the part of the various elements of the Agency.
5. One problem we have encountered to date in implementing actions
agreed upon by members of the Board relates to the particular Career Service
either objecting to the agreed upon course of action or selecting a different
course of action following the meeting. This has occurred in two of the
eight cases which have been considered to date. Although the individual's
Career Service is represented at the meeting, circumstances may develop
in such a way following the meeting as to nullify the course of action
agreed upon at the meeting. This matter we must, of course, continue to
work on. Occasionally, it may be necessary for this office to submit a
recommendation to the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence as to the
disposition of a suitability case which may not have the full concurrence
of the Head of the particular Career Service.
