REPLY TO
ATTENTION OF:
October 1, 1985
Personnel and Administration Division
Honorable William J. Casey
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D.C. 20505
Dear Mr. Casey:
3859
Each year the National Defense University extends invitations to agencies
outside Department of Defense to nominate candidates to attend the courses at
both the National War College and the Industrial College of the Armed
Forces. This year it is a pleasure to invite you to nominate four candidates
for the National War College and one candidate for the Industrial College of
the Armed Forces to attend the course commencing August 4, 1986.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management has agreed that completion of the
10-month resident course at the National War College and the Industrial
College of the Armed Forces exempts participation in the Executive Development
Seminar and enables civilian employees to be certified as managerially
qualified for a Senior Executive Service Appointment. A copy of the Office of
Personnel Management letter dated July 18, 1984 addressing this exemption is
enclosed. To assist you in the selection of candidates, I have enclosed an
extract from the Department of Defense instruction which establishes the
criteria for selecting Department of Defense civilian employees as students.
A key part of the learning process at the National Defense University is
the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experiences among the military and
civilian students who represent a variety of agencies and functional
activities. It is especially important that each nominee considered is a
career executive who can be expected to continue in Government Service and
attain future positions of high responsibility.
To insure that students are identified and curriculum established, there
are two critical dates: nominations must be received not later than March 15,
1986; and each nominee must have a final TOP SECRET clearance and have
initiated a Department of Energy "Q" clearance and a Special Background
Investigation or equivalent for access to SCI not later than May 1, 1986. We
also request that each nominee furnish a copy of his/her personal history.
Please feel free to have your staff contact my Registrar at 475-1996 if
they have any administrative questions.
