25X1 4. Members of the OP/Position Management and Compensation Division
surveying the Office of Training and Education, Language Training Division,
(OTE/LTD), met with OTE mans ement to feed back the results of preliminary
25X1 grade calls in LTD. Of the L] positions reviewed, zero were downgraded,
25X1 were sustained and] were upgraded. This survey was conducted as a result of
the IG Survey of OTE's Language Program and the Executive Director's survey of
the Agency's Language Program.
7. The effort to bypass the overloaded Data Transmission Exchange Switch
(DATEX) for the delivery of cable traffic was completed on 30 May with the
installation of a direct connection between the Message Handling Facility
(MHF) and the Special Computing Center. This offload of DATEX traffic to MHF
allows for faster delivery of narrative and data cable traffic to the computer
centers and provides routine traffic to customers in a more timely manner.
The connection will allow cables destined for customers in the Special Center
to be delivered directly from MHF. It also allows electronically-originated
messages outbound from the Special Center to be delivered directly to MHF.
The installation of a direct connection between the four computer centers
DESIST, Northside, Special) and the MHF is now complete, nine days

11. The Office of Medical Services has begun first level analysis of
experts' ratings on Agency applicants collected under the terms of the DDCI
approved Project "FAST TRACK." (The Project explores the feasibility of
earliest possible identification of applicants most likely to move rapidly
through processing and to EOD with the Agency.) With data collection
approximately 66% complete, the accuracy and consistency of judges'
predictions of processing outcomes show great promise.
12. Professor Marshall Goldman, Associate Director of Harvard
University's Russian Research Center, gave the first in a series of guest
lectures on the Soviet Union sponsored by the Office of Training and
Education's Soviet Realities Institute. Speaking on 2 June to a standing room
only group assembled on rather short notice, Professor Goldman examined the
prospects for reform in the USSR under General Secretary Gorbachev. Goldman
noted that many Western observers--he among them--had seen signs of true
change in the Gorbachev period, only to have their hopes dashed by the
callousness and lack of candor with which the General Secretary handled the
Chernobyl disaster. After his presentation, Goldman, one of the country's
leading students of the Soviet economy, responded to a wide variety of
questions on both economic and political trends in the USSR. The talk was
videotaped and later will be available to interested Agency audiences.

14. OF previously reported that the retroactive payments due to certain
SIS personnel, as a result of a court decision concerning the pay cap for
FY 1980 - FY 1982, were processed for all active SIS employees in pay period
(PP) 7, ending 15 March 1986. We are pleased to add that the payments to
former SIS personnel, who either retired or resigned, will be processed in

current and former SIS personnel will be made prior to those of any other
federal agency.
