PRESENT METHOD
I Travelers are required to have passport photos for themselves and their
expensiveo andcktimtheme usuming
dependents taken in local studios. This is
two trips are required - one for the photos one pi.
I SUGGEST
I suggest that passport photos be taken at the Agency. Certainly the badge
office has the this pndents assportre
scheduled for med a
photos while they are there?
ADVANTAGES
I fully realize that the Agency is little concceernedwith cd be a great oonnveenience.ton an
employee or his dependents, however, the above suggestion
venience, but in addition it would be a dollar savings to the Agency.
Consider the employee's time away from the office to take the family for
these photos plus the cost. In my particular case, we are a family of five at
a cost of $3.50 per person for a total of $17.50 The price for one roll of color
foot
film for the Agency's cameras is only $17.00 for a 100 foot roll. This 100e

Persons embarking on foreign travel (with the exception of one
Division) are required to obtain passport photographs commercially
for which they are reimbursed. The cost is approximately $4000 to
$5000 for each set.
I SUGGEST that this service be provided within the Agency (by the Badge
Office, TSD, or some combination thereof).

ADVANTAGES: Aside from the obvious saving in cost (equal to the
number of passports processed annually times $4.00 less in-house
cost), there would also be a tremendous saving of time and in-
convenience, particularly to those not stationed at Headquarters.
In so doing, Central Processing Branch would obtain better control
over the process of obtaining passports by direct

Passport and Visa Photograph Procurement I 77-13Z
PRESENT METHOD The individual traveler and his family uses commercial facilities. This
system is: 1. Expensive (considering the cost of processing for recovery of profes-
sional charges, personal auto mileages etc.) 2. Normally very inconvenient for the
traveller due to inclement weather, parking situation and the many other details
involved in an overseas move. 3. Time consuming, normally resulting in the loss of
several hours away from the office. 4. Possibly insecure. It is now possible for
photographers to make file or other extra copies of the photograph for purposes
other than that intended by the traveller.
Agency facilities be used instead of the commercial establishments. In the case
of dependents photographing could be accomplished along with immunizations, briefings,
etc. Exposures, poses, backgrounds, paper quality, etc. would have to be identical
to that used by commercial photographers to prevent agency photos from being identi-
fiable. This clearly is within the agencies capabilities. When cover or other con-
siderations require, commercial photographers, of course, would be used.
ADVANTAGES
While I have no means to estimate the total monetary savings, it could be con-,
siderable in terms of saved muanpower. It would eliminate one "outside" detail con-
nected with a move and do away with the inconvenience and frustration of photo pro-
curement, particularly when children are involved. It could close a potential, if
not existing, source of photographs of agency personnel to outside interests.
