2. Briefing on GSA -GSI Cafeteria Relations
ere present for this briefing which was
done by the latter officer. The briefing consisted of a rather detailed analysis of
the responsibilities and functions of GSA, GSI and CIA in providing cafeteria ser -
vices for Agency employees. GSA negotiates contracts with GSI for cafeteria
services and provides policy level guidance, which includes reviews and approvals
of prices and price changes as well as periodic sanitation reviews.
GSI, a private public service corporation, operates the cafeterias;
there are no Government subsidies. GSI reimburses GSA 1 1/2 per cent of the
gross income in lieu of rent. I lis an active member on the 25X1
GSI Board of Trustees. Obtaining and retaining adequate personnel is one of the
most serious problems which faces GSI and this is especially true for the Head-
quarters cafeterias because of its location. Other problems which affect the cost
of operating the cafeterias are the loss of dishes, trays, silver, etc., and the high
cost of replacing equipment (i.e., dishwashers) plus the fact that the cafeteria
is primarily a 5 -day week breakfast and lunch operation.
In the Agency, the Director of Logistics, through the Logistics Services
Division, is responsible for liaison with GSI for the operation of the cafeterias - -
LSD monitors the food services organization but does not operate the cafeteria.
There are two cafeterias and one sit-down facility in Headquarters and cafeterias
in NPIC I land Ames Building.
I reported that due to several recent innovations there appears
to be a noticeable improvement in cafeteria service and that business is improving
since the slump at the time of the recent price increases. It is anticipated that the
new Employee Cafeteria Committee, with representatives from each Directorate,
will provide a two-way channel of communications concerning cafeteria problems
and dissatisfactions.

3. junior Professional Personnel Committee
I distributed to the Office Heads a copy of the 10 October 1968
memorandum from the President requesting each department and agency to create
a committee to review and evaluate all aspects of the systems through which young
professional employees become part of the Federal workforce. The Inspector
General is chairman of the Agency committee with three members from each
Directorate plus a representative from the Office of Personnel and the Career
Trainee Program. Part of the activities of this Committee will be to administer
an attitudinal questionnaire to all new professional employees in grades GS -5
through GS -12, who are 30 years of age or younger and who entered on duty in
FY 1968. Each Office Head was requested to cooperate in this project and encour-
age their new young professionals to participate.
4. Bureau of the Budget Request for the Deferral of Some Activities for
Decisions by the Incoming Administration and Request for Full Economy Measures
Throughout the Current Administration
Mr. Bannerman made reference to the memorandum dated 23 October
1968 to departments and agencies from Mr. Zwick, Director, BOB. He stated
that Mr. Zwick's memorandum was largely directed at organizations which deal
with the public; the Agency probably does not have much, activity which would fall
in this program. However, he cautioned each Office Head to keep the principles
of this program in mind and especially for those activities not included in the budget.
He added that briefing sheets with all pertinent information are being prepared in
the Agency preparatory for briefing new government officials concerning our on-
going programs.
5. Decision Against Meritorious Unit Citations at This Time
Mr. Bannerman announced that the proposed Meritorious Unit Cita-
tion was discussed at a recent Deputies meeting and the DDCI was informed of the
opinions expressed. Based on the negative reactions, Admiral Taylor decided
this citation would not be adopted. Mr. Bannerman added that this did not mean
that an Office Head could not bring to his attention a recommendation for a commen-
dation for a unit which performed exceptionally well in a particular situation. Mr.
Wattles pointed out thatE OSI, and the Office of Logistics have internal systems
for recognition of units and individuals. Such systems require approval before they
can be instituted.
