heed in August 1976. We currently employ two
t
married couples. All couples were married subsequen
r employment with CIA. We do not intend to hire any
relative of a current ODP employee.
2. in principal, 00P applies the policy for current
employees at Division level. in no case is any employee in. a
position to directly supervise or evaluate a relative, either
directly by virtue of the chain of co mmnd, or through member-
ship on career panels and boards.
3. e0? believes firmly that under no circumstances
should a relative have any influence on the hiring, assign-
ment, supervision, or evaluation of any Agency employee, no
matter where assigned. "owever, merely assigning relatives
to different components does not ensure this. ODD?'s experience
is that the probof undue influence can be as great, if not
greater, across the Agency, as within an office or division,
where peer pressures constrain obvious favoritism., :Every
supervisor and manager in the Agency must be alert to and
have the courage to report such incidences. But having said
all that and given the realities of life, I believe the cur-
rent DDA policy is correct, i.e., that relatives will not be
employes in the same office or same Sub-Group.
4. Most of ODP's related employees are mature, reason-
ably close in grade, and distinct as to specialties. None
occupy supervisory positions. Hence, it is unlikely that a
situation would arise where we would be faced with placing them
in a position to influence each other's career. Were they to
LvAsdvortently arrive in such a position, we believe they would

t tines employment of relatives within the same component
is necessary. However, we would abide by any such licy

SUBJEC'T': Application of DDA Policy on Nepotism
1. Would you please let me have by COB 6 July a short
note on the way you apply the policy on nepotism within each
of your Offices. What I am particularl interested in is
at what level within your own components o you apply the
policy, i.e., Office, Divis'on, Branch?~At what "level do
you think it should apply?(Should it be divided into sub-
groups? For example, should we accept the employment of
individuals providing that their career management did not
fall under the same career sub-panel categories?
2. I would appreciate your views. STATINTL

will be extremely rare. Requests for exception will be

serving overseas in positions under
the responsibility of other Directorates will be governed
by policies established by those Directorates.
