2. Mr. Childs began the meeting by noting that the Agency's 19Et3
resource situation looks good, both in funds and manpower. With regard to
closing out the fiscal year, he stated that the Comptroller staff would be
carefully monitoring unobligated balances and requested the cooperation of
the Deputy Directors an3 their staffs in identifying funds which will not be
used to ensure that such funds are not lost. Mr. Childs emphasized that the
large amount of funds now showing as committed -- primarily in the I)DO and
DDSf,T--will be lost on 30 September if they cannot be obligated. He' noted
that the recommendations for use of 1983 availabilities favored 198:1 needs
over anticipated 194 requirements and he proposed this as an area f=or
discussion. The recommendations also provider
against overobligation df our appropriation.
3. The outlook for 1984 is not much clearer than at the last meeting.
In addition to the specific adjustments discussed in August, it appears that
CIA will be apportioned a shar f DoD's recent "inflation reductio~l." Our
share is estimated to be about other reductions are also
likely from appropriations committee actions.
4. Personnel: N1r. Magee briefed on the status of personnel, noting
that as o 19 September the Agency wasnpositions under our authorized

ye - d strength.- He expected the Agency to be up to its positio ~- fling
of r~en~ by 30 September. He estimates FTE usage for the year at der
the FTE ceiling. With respect to 1984, OP's plans are to EOD some new
employees--the estimated number required to replace attrition and staff the
new positions expected to be approved by the Congress.- Mr. Childs added
that he was hopeful that the FTE constraint would not be imposed in 1984 and
that the Agency would return to management by position ceiling. He .also
urged some caution in the rate of EOD's early in the year until we had a
clearer a of the outcome of Congressional action on our 1984 manpower
request.

7. Status of 1983 Obligations: Through 31 August 1983, overall.
obligations an commitments were at 93.5 percent, with nonpersonal services
at 94.7 percent. It was again pointed out that the commitments figure was
large and that those finds would be lost if not obligated by 30 September.
Without the committed amounts, the Agency would be significantly behind the
straight-line rate in nonpersonal services

priority, including narcotics, counterterrorism, and improving the quality
of work environment for Agency employees. Considerable discussion followed,
primarily related to what could be done to improve the work environment. Mr.
Fitzwater strongly supported applying funds to such efforts, referencing the
many valid complaints which he and his components receive but for which he
has no funds to remedy. Mr. Fitzwater indicated he had been able to find
some funds which cau be used for selected renovations and modest improve-
ments to workspace, but that this would be inadequate to provide for the
large list of proposals on hand. It was agreed that Mr. Fitzwater should `
provide to the Comptroller a prioritized listing of4possible improvements,
along with their ros ective cost; depending upon availability and likel
impact, up t should be made available for this purpose.
