MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Harry E. Fitzwater
Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: Weekly Report for Period Ending 24 May 1985
1. Progress reports on tasks assigned by the DCI/DDCI:
None.
2. Items/events of interest:
a. Drivers for Virginia Concrete, the supplier of concrete for all
three contractors for the new Headquarters Building, have gone on strike.
Although some trucks are being driven by company management, delivery
schedules have been quite constricted. As of this date, progress on all three
contracts has not been impaired, and the contractors have developed
contingency plans for alternative suppliers. The New Building Project Office,
Office of Logistics (OL), is developing a plan to manage alternate site access
if picket lines are formed. Additionally, steel deliveries for the new
building superstructure will begin the first week of June. Ten to fifteen
trailer loads will be stored on site. A 150-ton crane, to be used to place
the steel, will be assembled on site during the week of 20 May. Seven to ten
truck loads of parts will be used to make up the crane assembly.

e. The request for proposal for the Personnel Access Security System
(PASS) was released to 26 prospective offerors on 20 May. The new system will
expand the capabilities of the current system to include ingress and egress
control, temporary card access control, and visitor card access control.
Proposals are due 18 June 1985 with an anticipated award in August.
f. The DDS&T has reviewed the staffing of its procurement teams and
has determined that more contract officers are required to accomplish the DS&T
procurement mission. They have requested that 11 additional contract officers
be assigned. This brings our expected requirement through March 1986 for
journeyman contract officers to 25.
g. The contractor has completed approximately 95 percent of the
painting of existing exposed surfaces in the South Cafeteria in the
Headquarters Building. Approximately 87 percent of the new millwork has been
received, and 75 percent of it has been erected in its final position.
Additional millwork for the existing wall surfaces is scheduled to be
delivered the weekend of 25 May.
h. Over the Memorial Day weekend, starting Friday evening, 24 May,
and ending on Tuesday morning, 28 May, the Headquarters Building will be
experiencing a major chilled water outage. This outage will facilitate the
hookup of new chilled water risers on the north and south sides of the
building and the installation of 12 new pipe valves. Backup chillers will
provide cooling for the special usage and communications centers within the
Headquarters Building. In addition, a mobile trailer-mounted chiller unit

will be positioned at the northeast entrance to provide added support. These
centers should not experience any chilled water problems during the
building-wide chilled water outage. The balance of the Headquarters Building
J. The OP Retirement Division (RD) has been flooded with inquiries
regarding purchase of retirement credit for post 1956 military service
(Catch-62) as a result of the recently republished Employee Bulletin and WWSB
on this subject. As explained in these publications, the grace period for
making interest-free purchases ends on 1 October 1985. Within a two-day
period, approximately 200 telephone calls and over 60 written inquiries were
received from potentially affected employees. Appropriate information and
assistance are being provided by RD.
k. The first of two "Rowan Reports" devoted to Agency recruitment
needs was broadcast this past week on the radio. The message was aimed at
Black listeners and was well done. With stations throughout the country
carrying the program, it has great potential for helping the OP's recruitment
effort.
1. Representatives from all Directorates joined forces with OP's
Office of Employment personnel in Denver last week to conduct interviews with
21 applicants. Like similar exercises in the past, this effort was designed
to expedite applicant processing by making hiring decisions on the spot.
Eighteen of these were made, making the trip the most successful one so far.
The representatives agreed that the participation of all the Directorates
contributed significantly to the success of the trip.

p. On 17 May, representatives from OS and OGC met in Alexandria,
Virginia, with Mr. Carroll Weimer, U. S. Attorney's Office, to discuss
Security Protective Officers' (SPOs) ticket writing and arrest procedures.
Mr. Weimer agreed to visit the Headquarters Compound in the near future and
brief the SPOs on these procedures as well as the "do's and don'ts" of court
demeanor.

v. Representatives from the Office of Information Services (OIS) met
with the Chief of the Information Management Staff, Directorate of Operations
(IMS/DO), and other IMS representatives to discuss the DO's participation in
the Historical Review Program (HRP). While the DO had expressed some concern
over the releasing of its records outside the DO, agreement was reached
wherein all permanent records from the Strategic Services Unit and the Central
Intelligence Group for the period 2 October 1945 to 17 September 1947 will be
sent to the HRP. The objective is to provide an opportunity to observe
procedures used by the HRP in processing the documents in order to make a more
informed judgment on just how the 130 will cooperate and participate in the HRP.
w. On 20 May OIS representatives met with the Records Management
Officer and Archivist for the National Security Agency (NSA) and members of
his staff to discuss NSA's records preservation program. A summary of the
salient points follows. Upon a thirty-year classification review and
determination, each document is carefully examined and placed in acid-free
containers-boxes and folders-for storage. In the case of Thermofax and
similar types of old reproductions, new copies are produced. For documents of
intrinsic historical value, special preservation activities, such as
encapsulation, are undertaken. Additional preservation efforts include a
deacidification device, a freeze-dry chamber for water-damaged records, and a
machine for laminating old maps. Clearly, NSA's program has merit, and OIS
plans to determine what aspects of NSA's preservation program is applicable to
the Agency and budget accordingly.

y. Representatives from the Office of Information Technology (OIT),
Directorate of Intelligence (DI), and the Office of Legislative Liaison (OLL)
met with the Staff Director and Security Officer of the SSCI to discuss a
request by the SSCI for access to certain computerized data maintained by the
Agency. The topic of accessing Agency computer systems was discussed, but no
action is anticipated to permit this type of connectivity.
z. Coding for the conference capability in the Decision Support and
Information System for Terrorism (DESIST) has been completed. Software for
this system has been installed and is currently being tested by the customer.
This system enables DESIST users to set up an online conference between any
number of users on the system, so that messages sent will go to all users in
the conference group.
cc. OF reacted to the Savings and Loan crisis in Maryland by
notifying employees that deposits to their accounts for pay period 11 (to be
paid on 23 May 1985) could be cancelled and sala
individual.

ee. OTE Language Officers met with the C/Ly on 10 May to discuss
the new set of role-plays utilized in the 1985 Spanish Total Immersion
Course. Having earlier reviewed the recently developed material, the
C/L.40 expressed support for and satisfaction with the increased emphasis
placed on the operational purposes to which our students will apply their
acquired language skills. LA suggestions and student feedback will be taken
into consideration in making minor revisions to the comprehensive package of
agent acquisition and agent handling role-plays.
