MEMORANDUM FOR: DA Planning Officer
FROM: Robert W. Magee
Director of Personnel
SUBJECT: CIA Committees
REFERENCE: Note to D/OP from DA Planning Officer, Same Subject
1. At your request, we have reviewed the November 1983 list of office of
Personnel (OP) Committees to determine whether any new Committees have been
added. Attached is an updated list of current OP Committees.
2. Also at your request, we reviewed this updated listing to determine
whether any major changes in management, substantive focus on
responsibilities, or membership have occurred, and whether any of the
Committees could or should be merged or disbanded.
A. Recruitment Advertising Committee. While the members of this
Committee have an important input to advertising decisions, no formal meetings
are being held. Therefore, we plan to immediately abolish this Committee
leaving the current coordinating responsibilities intact.
B. Honor and Merit Awards Board/Suggestion and Achievement Awards
Committee/Intelligence Community Awards Review Panel. There is a possibility
that these three Committees could be merged into a unified entity. We are
exploring this possibility and will advise you as soon as a determination has
been made.
We do not believe that any other Committees could be disbanded without their
functions being assumed by some other entity or vested in some new body.
Please keep in mind that the boards of the Voluntary Investment Plan, Employee
Activity Association, Educational Aid Fund, Government Employees Health
Association, and Public Service Aid Society cannot be eliminated unless the
underlying organizations themselves are eliminated. We doubt that this is
contemplated.

3. It should be noted that a Centralized Travel Policy Working Group
Committee was formed in September 1984 but was disbanded in December 1984
after its members had developed recommendations for the DDA on centralized
travel activities within the Agency.
4. We will advise you as soon as a determination has been made on the
Committees cited in parparanh 9R- If you have any questions, please contact
EO/OP, or me.
