The Central Intelligence Agency has forwarded to us a copy
of your March 26, 1974, letter in which you seek employment
with them at the conclusion of your Peace Corps employment.
Just as the Peace Corps does not accept as staff members or
Volunteers those people who have served with an intelligence
agency, so the Peace Corps has asked, and the intelligence
agencies have agreed, not to employ former Peace Corps
employees or Volunteers for at least five years after the
completion of their service in the Peace Corps, and, if
employed after such period, not to assign the former staff
member to any country in which he had trained or served with
the Peace Corps. The Central Intelligence Agency is one of
the agencies which has agreed not to employ a former staff
member or Volunteer in any capacity prior to the completion
of five years after his termination from the Peace Corps.
I know that you, as an overseas Peace Corps employee, under-
stand the reasoning behind this policy. As the Peace Corps
has lost some talented people as staff members or Volunteers
because of their background in intelligence work, so the
intelligence agencies have lost the services of some able men
and women who have previously served in the Peace Corps, but
we believe that these sacrifices are justified by the public
interest in preventing any relationship, or any appearance
of a relationship, between the Peace Corps and intelligence
agencies.
Sincerely yours,
Kelly C. Kartimerer
Deputy General Counsel for
International Operations
