Applicant Information
Sheet No. 1
To all persons applying for employment
with the Central Intelligence Agency:
This paper is the first step in applying for employment or consultant
status with the Central Intelligence Agency. No application may proceed
beyond this first step if the applicant is not in agreement with the
conditions stated below:
General Considerations:
1. The National Security Act of Z6 July 1947 (public Law 233, SQth
Congress) which created the Central Intelligence Agency places upon the
Agency the responsibility:
a. "to advise the National Security Council in matters concerning
such intelligence activities of the Gov* ant departments and agencies
as relate to the national security:
b. "to awns recommendations to the National Security Council
for the e:osrdlnatios of such intelligence activities of the dspart-
meate and agencies of the Government as relate to the national
secarltyi
c. "to correlate and evaluate intelligence relating to the
national security, and provide for the appropriate dissemination
of such intelligence within the Government . .. ;
d. "to perform, for the benefit of the existing intelligence:
sgalcles, such additional services of common concern, as trig 3iatlonal
Seasrity Council determines can be more etl oiestly accompiiaabed
contrail"
e. "ft perform such **er functions and dm%W related,to
InIeUi ence a log Use national security as the f/atlonsl Security
CONWA w s from time to time direct. "

The special character of this national responsibility requires the Agency
to maintain correspondingly special employment criteria which may be
different from the routine or normal employment standards of other Govern-
ment departments and agencies which do not have the highly sensitive res-
ponsibility borne by the Central Intelligence Agency. It follows that the
investigation of applicants prerequisite to their acceptance is a time-
consuming process which. in addition to loyalty and security checks.
includes evaluation of competence, physical and emotional filuess, and
availability of a suitable position at such time as employment may be offered.
This is called "clearance" of an applicant.
Z. Investigation of an applicant may reveal something which prevents
his clearance - perhaps something of which the applicant is genuinely unaware.
perhaps something which only the special employment criteria of the Agency
make unacceptable. In any event. adverse findings by the Agency are con-
clusive and final so far as the Agency is concerned, and no statement of
specific reasons is made to the applicant.
3. Zsnployment by the Central Intelligence Agency is not a right upon
which an applicant can insist. Offer of employment which, is subject to full
clearance does not constitute a commitment on the Agency's part giving an
unsuccessful applicant grounds for any claim against the Agency. Acceptance
of employment upon the condition of clearance is at the applicant's risk.
taken with the knowledge that a very substantial percentage of applicants
are not cleared.
Statement of Underatandding
and lee ne n
I have read, understand, and agree to the foregoing General Consid-
erations. If not accepted for employment by the Central Intelligence
Agency, I will make no claim or demand in conflict with those consid-
erations.
I have also seen and read Applicant Information Sheet No. +3.
