Directorate of Administration
Annual Report to Congress Submission
The Directorate of Administration concentrated during 1983 in
rebuilding our capabilities to support increased Agency
operational activities and manpower. Each Office in the
Directorate had increased requirements to be met with existent
tight resources. In 1983 additional resources were provided which
permitted us to begin to reach requisite manpower and funding
levels. Our increased resource needs have been recognized further
by the Agency in our funding and manpower allocations for FY 1984.
The highlights of our rebuilding needs were centered in our
communications recapitalization program, the plans and programs
for the new headquarters building, a significant increase in our
overall automation capabilities, the requisite need for computer-
related equipment and trained personnel, a quantum jump in our
logistics support to Agency covert operations worldwide, a
significant increase in our operational and language training
requirements, and the emphasis overall in the Agency on the
quality of life for its employees. -
In addition to the above rebuilding highlights, we have added
the Office of Personnel to the Directorate of Administration. A
revived and expanded emphasis has been placed in quality
recruitment of career trainees and other professional categories
of personnel for the Agency. This recruiting emphasis has had
significant impact on the resources of the Offices of Personnel,
Medical Services, Security, and Training and Education. The
Directorate has been encouraged by the resource support given by
senior Agency management in recognizing the need to provide
Agencywide quality support. Our need for resources of all kinds --
will continue to depend on the growth of the Agency, the -
additional operational requirements levied on us and the Agency's
ability to obtain the human and technical tools needed to -
effectively utilize the resources made available to us._

I. Accomplishments in Capability Rebuilding
The installation of WANG Alliance systems in the Office of
Finance increased our overall capabilities in the automation of
the Agency finance systems. Examples include automating specific
financial activities such as Agency bank account balances, gold,
commodity holdings, printing of W-2 and 1099 forms and many word
processing functions. This automation helped to reduce the time
spent on manual and labor-intensive functions.
The Office of Logistics (OL), in addition to supporting an
25X1 increase in Agency finished intelligence printing and photographic
production requirements, has provided similar support to the
Department of State, the Department of Justice, the National
Security Agency, and other Executive agencies.
Planning for a new Agency headquarters
building and related road improvements continued. Provision of
25X3 construction funds in 1984 will permit for a construction start in
the spring of 1984 and project completion in August 1987.
Programmed resources which became available in 1983 allowed
the Office of Medical Services to more effectively meet the
increased demand of expanded applicant processing and resume
previously postponed initiatives. Pressure for expanded support,
especially in the area of psychological testing became more
extensive compared to 1982. Additional regional medical officers
were assigned to support operational personnel overseas.
25X1 The Office of Personnel (OP) made significant progress in
rebuilding the Agency"s recruitment capability. This was done at
the expense of other OP and Agency functions

The internal steps taken by the Office of Training and
Education (OTE) to develop a computer-based education system for
the Agency were begun in OTE's language school.

The major Office of Data Processing enhancement of 1983 was

first major enhancement as well. The SAFE systems support both
CIA analysts and DIA analysts.

In the Office of Security, enhanced capability in meeting
tigative and polygraph requirements was achieved. Nearly
examinations were completed.
.,ne of the Office of Training and Education's critical
enhancements at the Chamber of Commerce training facility has been
the construction of the communications equipment room and four new
classrooms necessary for computer system and office automation
training. The classrooms will be ready for use in January 1984.
III. Continued Need for Long-Term Funding
In the Office of Finance, the expansion of Agency operations
has resulted in increased requirements for financial support. A
firm commitment by senior Agency management to provide the
necessary human resources and long-term investment of funds
required for the development of new automated systems is needed to
alleviate growth-induced manpower needs.
Resource requirements in the Office of Data Proces-sing (ODP)
continue to expand in order to meet increased complex automation
requirements in SAFE and CAMS. Funding is projected to increase
in 1984 from Personnel
resources would increase fromi in
1984. Funding for additional Hardware will be required to support
the increasing quantity and complexity of ODP- and user-developed
software.
Funding in the Office of Medical Services is concentrated in
the area of staffing to obtain highl.y trained OMS applicants to
fill positions becoming vacant due to increased operational
medical requirements, normal attrition,. and to meet surge
requirements.
The Office of Personnel (OP) will require several hundred
thousand dollars for computer enhancements,.-increased travel
costs, and increased personnel service costs. This is in
recognition of the need to focus significant resources on the
number of recruited career trainees and enhancing automation in
all areas of OP.

The Office of Training and Education's long-term funding
requirements are geared to providing the necessary equipment,
classrooms, training materials, independent contractors, and
related services to carry out the Agency's training mission.
IV. Performance Highlights
The Office of Information Services (OIS) installed an
electronic word processing system and expanded the use of several
of its computer data bases in 1983 to improve automation of
records, to update items, and to expand its intra-Agency teaching
capability. OIS processed an increase of FOIA requests (initial
backlog was up 6 percent), which are becoming more lengthy and
complex.
The Office of Logistics completed a major procurement of IBM
hardware in 1983 associated with the SAFE, CAMS, and Ruffing
Center Programs. This procedure involved requiring IBM to accept
an alternate payment plan which we estimate will save the Agency
about $4 million in procurement costs. Over $15 million was spent
in 1983 to acquire WANG equipment in support of CRAFT and other
Headquarters requirements. OL produced the 1983 Intelligence
Community's Congressional Budget Justification Books (CBJBs), the
fifth year that they have done so. This year`s volumes and
annexes totaled 3,200 pages, a 12 percent increase over last year.
In the first full year of the contract with WANG for a
family of word processors, the Office of Data Processing ordered
over 300 systems
I The Office also expended
major efforts in the installation and testing of the SAFE systems

and in achieving initial operating capability for CIA and DIA.
Included in the process was the installation of new communication
control software that had never been used anywhere in the U.S.
with the SAFE-type hardware.
In 1983 Office of Medical Services components involved in
the selection and evaluation of applicants and dependents
continued to deliver the highest volume of testing and medical
evaluations in OMS history.
The Office of Personnel assisted Agency components in saving
approximately $2.25 million in travel costs through increased
emphasis in the use of Government Transportation Requests (GTRs)
and the Agency's new direct ticketing capability.
The Safety Staff, Office of the DDA, initiated a safety
enhancement program for posts and residences overseas during which
emergency escape breathing devices, fire extinguishers, first-aid
kits, smoke detectors, and emergency descent devices were provided
as needed.
