MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
Staff Meeting Minutes of 10 October 1980
Mr. Carlucci chaired the meeting.
Fitzwater commented that the Executive Order for the pay raise has not
yet been signed because of a legal problem which the Attorney General is
trying to solve. He said that if the pay raise was not paid on time, it
will be made up at a later date.
Fitzwater also mentioned that open season on insurance is coming up
and that no brochures will be issued this year. Instead bulletin boards
will have comparison charts for the employees to use to compare various
insurance programs and the Insurance Branch is prepared to answer detailed
questions.
Mr. Carlucci raised two items which were brought to his attention at
in full the new policy.
--Requirement to have an overall rating of 6 on the PAR in order to
qualify for a QSI. DDO officers maintain they were never told of
this change in policy. In the past anyone with a Strong (which
equals a 5 on the new PAR) was eligible for a QSI. Mr. Carlucci
asked Fitzwater to issue a communication to the field explaining
yesterday:
Hetu talked about a controversy over alleged statements made by OPA
analyst Mel Goodman speaking at a college--that CIA gave the White House
two weeks warning about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The story
appeared on the NBC news 9 October. Clarke said Goodman maintains that he
was misquoted and that he will prepare a memorandum for the record

Clarke raised the following points:
--State Department is characterizing the statements made by Ayatollah
Khoini to an Italian correspondent as a possible break in the
hostage crisis. NFAC is not as willing to accept that and will
provide an assessment.
--Bani Sa.dr's claim of a counterattack near Abadan is not accurate.
Indications are that the Iranians are preparing fallback positions.
--Soviet naval presence in the Indian Ocean will drawdown over the
weekend as changeover begins.
-~ he Soviets have closed
the rail crossing point at Brest Litovsk for 10 da s. This will
affect only freight and not passenger service
Hitz mentioned that Peter Murphy (Subcommittee on Defense/HAC) is
coming today to talk to the DDO, and Mr. Carlucci agreed to meet with him
briefly.
Wortman said a notice to all employees has been issued that as of 5
October per diem was raised to $50 per day in most areas and to $75 in high
cost areas. Mileage was increased from 22 to 22 1/2 cents.
Wortman discussed the new divorce law which is part of the new
Foreign Service Act and does not affect the CIA yet. The portion of the
law that is causing the problem has to do with compensation to former
spouses. Mr. Carlucci asked Fitzwater to get together with Silver to
discuss the legal problems and possible solutions.
