MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Director, Equal Employment Opportunity
SUBJECT: Uniform Guidelines Implementation Plan - Phase II
Responsibilities
REFERENCE: Memorandum from DDCI to D/EEO, same subject,
dated 13 November 1980
1. In response to reference, the following information addresses
the implementation responsibilities assigned to Director, Equal Employ-
ment Opportunity in Phase II of the CIA Implementation Plan for the
Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures:
A. "Determining when selection for 'transfer' (i.e., assign-
ment, including vacancy notices), demotion and retention in the
Agency is an employment decision under the Uniform Guidelines..."
(1) The Agency and directorate reassignment procedures
and practices are diverse and it is difficult to define
"transfer" and to determine the specific intent of the Guide-
lines, particularly in an Agency context. Therefore, a
working group will be formed comprised of representatives from
the Offices of Personnel, Policy, Planning, and Management;
Equal Employment Opportunity and the General Counsel. The
working group will, inter alia, develop relevant Agency-related
definitions of Guidelines criteria and develop a plan for the
collection of data and the monitoring of applicable personnel
actions for the joint approval of the Directors of Personnel
Policy, Planning, and Management and Equal Employment Oppor-
tunity. The working group will submit its plan in sufficient
time for implementation no later than 1 October 1981. The
OEEO s onsible Officer for this working group will be Larry
IRe the Agency's Uniform Guidelines Compliance Officer.
(2) I am informed by the Director of Personnel Policy,
Planning, and Management that by 1 July 1981, forms with
accompanying instructions will be developed for maintaining
data on demotions and on employees selected or rejected for
retention after completion of their three-year probationary
period. Responsible OEEO Officer is

B. "Determining when selection for training in the Agency is
an employment decision under the Uniform Guidelines..."
The determination as to when selection for training is an
employment decision under the intent of the Guidelines has
been discussed with the Director of Training and Education.
The Director, EEO generally concurs with the position of the
Director of Training and Education that training selection
falls within the province of the parent component, and that
OTE is responsible only for ensuring compliance with course
requirements. Therefore, a proposal for determining when
selection for training is an employment decision under the
Uniform Guidelines will be drafted byl and
the OEEO responsible officers, coordinated with
Senior Agency Training Officers, and implemented by 1 October
1981.
C. "...initiating a program of research into alternative
selection procedures and methods..."
I am generally in agreement with the memorandum on the subject
prepared for you by Chief, Psychological Services staff. OEEO
Responsible Officer is
D. "...developing a Uniform Guidelines Training Program..."
I concur with the memorandum on this item submitted to you by
Director of Training and Education. Responsible OEEO Officer
is
I and members of my staff are ready to assist in these responsi-
bilities and in any other capacity to ensure full Agency compliance
with the Uniform Guidance by 1 October 1981. If you have questions or
need additional information regarding this matter, I will be pleased
to meet with you at your convenience.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Training and Education
FROM: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Implementation Plan for Uniform Guidelines - Phase II
Responsibilities
1. As you recall, I approved certain recommendations regarding im-
plementation of procedures required by the Uniform Guidelines on Employee
Selection Procedures in February of this year. This implementation was
to proceed in two "phases;" Phase I, designed to bring the Agency into
immediate compliance, provided for the required collection and analysis
of data; Phase II, which addresses policy considerations, places more
emphasis on management responsibility. Phase I went into effect on
1 October and appears to be functioning as expected. It is time now to
focus on getting Phase II underway.
2. The Director of Training and Education is charged under Phase II
with the following responsibilities:
a. With the Director, Equal Employment Opportunity, for
determining when selection for "training" in the Agency is an
employment decision under the Uniform Guidelines;
b. With the Chief, Psychological Services Staff, and the
Director of Personnel Policy, Planning, and Management for the
formulation of a comprehensive testing policy to be coordinated
with the Director, Equal Employment Opportunity, and incorporated
into the Headquarters Regulations; and
/ c. With the Director, Equal Employment Opportunity, and
Director of Personnel Policy, Planning, and Management for de-
veloping a Uniform Guidelines Training program.
.3. So that I have a clear understanding of how these responsibili-
ties will be discharged, you are requested to submit to me by 16 January
1981 a detailed plan for each responsibility, describing your strategy,
specifying the resources required, establishing a timetable for accom-
plishment, and identifying the responsible officer. Of course, plans
pertaining to shared responsibilities should be fully coordinated with
