MEMORANDUM FOR : Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT : Membership Drive - Employee Activity Association
1. This memorandum contains a recommendation for your approval.
Such recommendation is contained in paragraph 5.
2. This memorandum describes the form and content of a proposed
Agency-wide drive for membership in the Employee Activity Association.
We should like to note at the outset, however, that the real purpose of the
drive is to obtain enough money to make the Association self-sustaining,
i. e. , for payment of salaries of current and additional personnel, payment
of other expenses incurred in conducting Association business, and in
order to permit the Association to develop various other sources of income,
such as an expanded ticket service, discount sales, etc.
3. Our original plans called for the membership drive to be conducted
from 15 June to 10 July 1964. Since this comes soon after the completion of
the fund drive for the John F. Kennedy Library, we now propose to conduct
the membership drive during the month of July.
4. In order to obtain the best possible response to the drive for funds,
it is our view that every effort should be made to contact all Agency
employees and we propose the following type of campaign:
a. In advance of the kick off of the membership drive, we
propose that the DCI discuss at a senior staff meeting the nature
of the Association and its current and planned activities, and to
have him encourage all senior Agency officials (GS-15 and above)
to join the Association as "sponsors". The suggested fee for the
privilege of becoming a "sponsor" is $25, for which the official
will be entitled to full membership in. the Association during the
balance of his Agency employment with no further payment of dues.
Our hope in creating the "sponsor" concept is that if the response
from this group of senior officials is a good one, the Agency-
wide membership drive can be launched with some success
assured, at least from a financial point of view. Moreover, the
fact that senior officials have so participated can be used
throughout the campaign as a positive indication that the Agency's
upper echelon believes in the importance and value of the
Association's purpose and activities, and that we have been
encouraged to improve and expand the Association's activities.

ADMINIOUTIVE - INTERNAL NLr
b. During the membership drive itself, all employees will be
given the privilege of becoming "sponsors". Recognizing,
however, that many employees cannot afford or may not wish to
contribute $25 but would desire to do more than pay the normal
annual dues of $2, we have developed the concept of "patrons".
Employees who would be willing to contribute $10 will obtain six
years of membership (a saving of $2) in the Association and will
be designated as "patrons".
c. The normal annual membership dues is set at $2 for
employees who wish to join but do not wish to be "patrons" or
"sponsors".
d. The normal poster campaign will be developed and appropriate
posters will be displayed in all Headquarters area buildings in
the same fashion as was done in the seat belt campaign. One
innovation, however, has been included: Certain posters will
encourage employees to dial a specific Agency telephone extension.
Upon doing so and if this proposal is approved, the employee will
hear a recorded message by the Deputy Director of Central
Intelligence. This message will be a short 60 second appeal by
the DDCI during which he will encourage the caller to join the
Association and to help it to grow, etc.
e. An appropriate Headquarters Employee Bulletin will be
published describing the Association, its purpose, and activities.
f. A brochure has been prepared which briefly outlines facts
about the Association and its activities., and will be distributed.
g. We propose to develop a keyman organization from current
participants in the Association. Since these individuals are
already "sold" on the Association, they should be able to contact
other Agency employees for the purpose of joining the Association
with more enthusiasm than usual.
h. An all Station Book Dispatch will encourage overseas
employees to become "sponsors" or "patrons" so as to allow
them to participate in this phase of this Association's development.
5. It is recommended that you approve the form and content of the
Employee Activity Association's membership drive as outlined in paragraph 4.
