MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director, CIA
FROM:
Director, Intelligence Community Staff
SUBJECT: Annuitants
1. Since its inception, the IC Staff has employed the services of
annuitants in a variety of positions. Our current statistical breakdown
is as follows:
0
annuitants who are permanent cadre ICS personnel
STAT
STAT
annuitants who are independent contractors employed STAT
by the IC Staff
2. As you are aware, the IC Staff has evolved over a period of
several years from the very small NIPE Staff with a limited mission to
a staff of 0 relatively senior individuals with increased functions STAT
and more varied responsibilities. As the staff acquired additional
Community responsibilities, on behalf of the DCI, in the areas of the
budget and intelligence collection it was necessary to hire individuals
with expertise and grade levels commensurate with their positions. Also,
at the direction of Congress, we were prohibited from having non-reimburs-
able billets. _ Some individuals had up to this time filled two positions,
a line function in their own agency and a staff function for the DCI.
This meant that individuals who supported the.committee functions had
to be detailed on a reimbursable basis from their parent agencies or
military service or be hired directly by the staff. Because the IC
Staff members must deal directly with senior levels in the Intelligence
Community often on controversial matters, it is important that we maintain
a level of substantive expertise and seniority which will ensure our
acceptance by the various agencies and departments. While we are continuing
to develop certain of our more junior graded permanent cadre personnel,
and encourage continued rotational assignments from the major IC agencies,
we will continue to rely heavily for some time on the knowledge and
contacts provided by our annuitants.

3. We have also found that in certain instances it is beneficial
and cost effective to hire annuitants as independent contractors for
specific short-term tasks which require expertise and senior-level
experience. The one-time studies or projects these individuals perform
cannot be accomplished in-house due to personnel shortages or lack of
expertise. This approach also minimizes the impact on the various
Intelligence Community agencies. as well.--I foresee that-we will continue
to require this kind of talent unless our staffing complement is increased
considerably.
