1. The complexity and sophistication of Agency operations. will
materially increase making the support tasks of the Agency, in turn,
more complex.
2. Automation of support servic is will permit Agency operations
to improve in speed and efficiency and wilt facilitate community c
tiou as well as operational command and control.

remain independent of other personnel systems and will continue to be
administered under special legal authorities available to the DCt.

Agency will change. Requirements for clerical personnel will be
substantially lower with proportionate increases for technical and
professional employees.
5. Attrition rates among staff personnel will show very little
change during the first five year period. Overall attrition rates for
this period will average 10 to 11 % per year. During the second five
year period the overall attrition rate will remain fairly constant bat
attrition of professional *mployeas will show a significant increas3
(averaging well above 7% per year) as a greater proportion of profes
*tonal employees become 50 years of age and older.
6. ghly trained and Intrinsically skilled personnel will continue
to be the foundation of an efficient and readily responsive intelligeaco
organization. Technological and other advances will affect substantially

requirements for training will greatly increase.
