MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Officer to the DI)/S
SUBJECT: I cx itt ent Program for Senior
Scientific Engineers
1. You have requested o=ir comments, on the me noran&v'n
of 25 July, subject as above, from the DD/S &T to the DDCI
(IUD/S&T-2027-64), which we return herewith.
2. We believe the recruitment program as outlined in the
program is legally unobjectionable, with the following r*oerva-
tions:
(a) Sine the scientists, who are recruited are to
remain on a leave-of-absonee status with their employe
companies, it would he xieenwsary for the Agency, in
particular this Office, to consider the situation with
respect to each such individual in order to arrange his
employment and his duties a way which will not be
in violation of the conflicts-of-interest laws.
(b) HR Oprovides for rec: itent of specialy
qualified scientific personnel and proscribes rates of
compensation. (That regulation, incideentaly, indicates
that specially qualified scientific personnel will be paid at
CS 16-G8 18 rates and. also specifies those rates, which
are those established by the Federal. Employees Reforin
Pay Act of 1962. Now that those rates have been changed
by the Pay Act of 1964, it would be in order to rnodify the
regulation.) We believe the cost of insurance which the

in paragraph 1. a. of the contract and the cost of insurax ce
provided under paragraph 1. d. may not weed the maxi .
mum which may be paid a 05 18. Travel costs, on the
otherhsnd, are not compensation wihfn the limits of
the individual. Thus, the rate of compensation specifi
Agency will furnish must be considered compensation
2. There it no legal requireinent that the meraorandum be
directed to and approved by the DDCX. It is noted also that und:r
B. ach appointment of a epic sally qualified scientific per -
son requires the approval of the OM. (In this connection pMR.
contemplates recruit rent of app-Anted perau_)nnel rather than
contract personnel. Since the persons to be recruited under this
emoranduxmx would perform ata i duties, it seems appropriate that
be applied to them also. )

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT Recruitment Program for Senior Scientists and. Engineers
1. This memorandum submits a recommendation for your approval.
Such recommendation is contained in paragraph 6.
2. As part of a concerted. recruitment program to fill a number of
Scientific Pay Schedule positions, the Office of Scientific Intelligence
has been carrying on negotiations with industrial firms to obtain the
services of selected. scientists and engineers. These individuals will
be on leave of absence from their companies for a specified term. They
will receive no compensation in any form from their companies and. will,
by this and. other means, satisfy any conflict of interest requirements.
In collaboration with the Office of Personnel and the Office of General
Counsel, we have devised, a contract arrangement for these individuals.
3. 0SI is currently authorized a ceiling total of 13 Scientific
Pay Schedule positions. Three of these positions are filled. OSI pro-
poses to fill as many as nine additional planned. positions in this manner.
No more than two or three of the individuals are to come from any one
company. Preliminary talks have been held with senior officials of
General Dynamics, Martin-Denver, and. Bell Telephone Laboratories.
4. It is our intention to broaden this program to other elements
of the Directorate if needs dictate. In this regard., I recently sent
to the West Coast. Dr. a senior scientist with our Systems
Analysis Staff, to discuss general scientific personnel cutbacks with

SUBJECT: Recruitment Program for Senior Scientists and. Engineers
a selected. number of industrial concerns. Dr. Owas accompanied.
by Mr. field. recruiter. The purpose was to
determine the level of talent being placed. on the employment market by
present and . anticipated, personnel reductions. In addition, general dis-
cussions were held. with senior executives of the various companies, con-
cerning the acquisition, on a two or three year basis, of highly qualified,
and technically talented. scientists and. engineers. The prospects, as
reported. by Dr. are encouraging.
5. Our discussions with the Director of Personnel and. the repres-
entative of the Office of General Counsel indicate a contractual arrange-
ment will, in most instances, be more desirable than staff appointment
inasmuch as it will permit us to afford. selected. scientists and engineers
essentially those benefits which they now obtain from their industrial
employer. In every instance, however, the employee will fill one of the
authorized. Scientific Pay Schedule positions during his assignment to the
Agency and. will be paid in accordance with the salary structure of the
Scientific Pay Schedule. We are currently considering the qualifications
of a number of interested.ind.ividuals.
6. It is recommend.ed,that you approve the establishment of this
recruitment program, subject to the continued. advise and counsel of the
Office of Personnel and. the Office of General Counsel.
