MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
Director of Security
STAT
SUBJECT: Career Training Program
Security Disapproval Statistics
1. A perception exists that security disapproval rates for
Career Trainees have escalated significantly in recent years.
One version has it that these rates have increased by five or
more percentage points. This notion is based on statistics out
of the Career Training Task Force Staff whose records read as
follows:
Fiscal Year Candidates Security Disapprovals Percentages
1981 401 47 12%
1982 236 39 17%
1983 105 18 17%
2. The statistics from the Office of Personnel and Security
show for the same time period the following:
Fiscal Year Percentages of Security Disapprovals
1981 150
1982 17%
1983 17%
3. The difference between FY 81 and FY 82 is properly attribut-
able to a change in CT processing procedures rather than any change
in Office of Security standards or criteria. In FY 81, the CT
organization placed many cases in OS/OMS processing before they had
been assessed to be viable CT candidates. A significant number of
these cases were rather quickly cancelled. But, when the total
number of cases put into processing continued to be used to calculate
the security disapproval rate, it led to a lower percentage figure
than the reality. Currently, the CT organization places only viable
CT candidates into OS/OMS processing. This lowers the cancellation
rate, makes smaller the denominator of the ratio involved and makes the
disapproval rate appear higher--but more realistic.

4. It is noteworthy that in FY 1981 it took 5.9 candidates
to enter into formal processing to get one CT candidate on
board. In FY 1982, the ratio dropped to 4.7 to one, while in
1983, it is now only requiring 2.1 candidates to effect each hire
under the program.
S. Again, there has been no change in security standards or
security criteria for CT candidates under the current Director of
Security whose incumbency began on 21 March 1980.
