'Directorate of Administration
Annual Report to Congress Submission
DDA 1983 Overview
The Directorate of Administration concentrated during 1983 in
rebuilding our capabilities to support increased Agency
operational activities and manpower. Each Office in the
-Directorate had increased requirements to be met with existent
tight resources. In 1983 additional resources were provided which
permitted us to begin to reach requisite manpower and funding
levels. Our increased resource needs have been recognized further
by the Agency in our funding and manpower allocations for FY 1984.
The highlights of our rebuilding needs were centered in our.
communications recapitalization program, the plans and programs
for the new headquarters building, a significant increase in our
overall automation capabilities, the requisite need for computer-
related equipment and. trained personnel, a quantum jump in our
logistics support to Agency covert operations worldwide, a
significant increase in our operational and language training
requirements, and the emphasis overall in the Agency on. the
quality of life for its employees.
In addition to the above rebuilding highlights, we have added
the Office of Personnel to the Directorate of Administration. A
revived and expanded emphasis has been placed in quality
recruitment of career trainees and other professional categories
of personnel for the Agency. This recruiting emphasis has had
significant impact on the resources of the Offices of Personnel,
Medical Services, Security, and Training and Education. The
Directorate has been encouraged by the resource support given by
senior Agency management in recognizing the need to provide
Agencywide quality support. Our need for resources of all kinds
will continue to depend on the growth of the Agency, the
additional operational requirements levied on us and the Agency's
ability to obtain the human and technical tools needed to
effectively utilize the resources made available to us.

I. Accomplishments in Capability Rebuilding
The installation of WANG Alliance systems in the Office of
Finance increased our overall capabilities in the automation of
the Agency finance systems. Examples include automating specific
financial activities such as Agency bank account balances, gold,
commodity holdings, printing of W-2 and 1099 forms and many word
processing functions. This automation helped to reduce the time
spent on manual and labor-intensive functions.
The Office of Logistics (OL), in addition to supporting an
increase in Agency finished intelligence printing and photographic
production requirements, has provided similar support to the
Department of State, the Department of Justice, the National
Security A ency, and other Executive agencies.
construction funds in 1984 will permit.for aconstructionjstart in
the spring of 1984 and project completion in August 1987.
In the Office of Communications the first overseas
installations of the recapitalization of High Frequency (HF) radio
systems, message processing terminals, and cryptographic equipment
occurred during 1983. In addition, the Office supported ever
increasing requirements for operational, narrative, and data
traffic.
Programmed resources which became available in 1983 allowed
the Office of Medical Services to more effectively meet the.
increased demand of expanded applicant processing and resume
previously postponed initiatives. Pressure for expanded support,
especially in the area of psychological testing became more
extensive compared to 1982. Additional regional medical officers
were assigned to support operational personnel overseas.
The Office of Personnel (OP) made significant progress in
rebuilding the Agency's recruitment capability. This was done at
the expense of other OP and Agency functions and included staffing
a special task force to increase the number of new operational
career trainees.
The Office of Security embarked on an aggressive overseas
security enhancement program in 1983 by upgrading security

In the Office of Security, enhanced capability in meeting
investigative and polygraph requirements was achieved. Nearly
.,ne of the Office of Training and Education's critical
enhancements at the Chamber of Commerce training facility has been
the construction of the communications equipment room and four new
classrooms necessary for computer system and office automation
'training. The classrooms will be ready for use in January 1984.
III. Continued Need for Long-Term Funding
In the Office of Finance, the expansion.of Agency operations
has'resulted in increased requirements for financial support. A
firm commitment by senior Agency management to provide the
.necessary human resources and long-term investment of funds
required for the development of new automated systems is needed to
alleviate growth-induced manpower. needs.
Office of Logistics funding has been adequate for 1983.

continue to expand in order to meet increased complex automation
requirements in SAFE and CAMS. Funding is projected to increase

1984. Funding for additional hardware will be required to support
the increasing quantity and complexity of ODP- and user-developed
software.
Funding in the Office of Medical Services is concentrated In
the area of staffing to obtain highly trained OMS applicants to
fill positions becoming vacant due to increased operational
medical requirements, normal attrition, and to meet surge.
requirements.
The Office of Personnel (OP) will require several hundred
thousand dollars for computer enhancements,.increased travel
costs, and increased personnel service costs. This is in
recognition of the need to focus significant resources on the
number of recruited career trainees and enhancing automation in
all areas of OP.

The Office of Training and Education's long-term funding
requirements are geared to providing the necessary equipment,
classrooms, training materials, independent contractors, and,
related services to carry out the Agency's training mission.
IV. Performance Highlights
The Office of Information Services (OIS) installed an
electronic word processing system and expanded the use of several
of its computer data bases in 1983 to improve automation of
records, to update items, and to expand its intra-Agency teaching
capability. OIS processed an increase of FOIA requests (initial
backlog was up 6 percent), which are becoming more lengthy and
complex.
The Office of Logistics completed a major procurement IBM
hardware in 1983 associated with the SAFE, CAMS, and
Center Programs. This procedure involved requiring Ibill to accept
an alternate payment plan which we estimate will- save the Agency
about $4 million in procurement costs. Over $15 million was spent
in 1983 to acquire WANG equipment in su
ort d
pp
an other
Headquarters requirements. OL produced the 1983 Intelligence
Community's Congressional Budget Justification Books (CBJBs), the
"fifth year. that they have done so. This year's volumes and
annexes totaled 3,200 pages, a 12 percent increase over last year.
In the first full year of the contract with WANG for a
.family of...word processors, the Office of Data Processing ordered
over 300 systems including nearly 2,400 work stations for a total
Agency expenditure of-$14.2 million. The Office also expended
major efforts in the installation and testing of the SAFE systems

and in achieving initial operating capability for CIA and DIA.
Included in the process was the installation of new communication
control software that had never been used anywhere in the U.S..
with the SAFE-type hardware.
In 1983 Office of Medical Services components involved in
the selection and evaluation of applicants and dependents
continued to deliver the highest volume of testing and medical
evaluations in OMS history.. For example, the Psychological
Services Division had an overall 40 percent increase from last
year in all its testing and related activities. This type of
assessment is extremely labor intensive.
The Office of Personnel assisted Agency components in saving.
approximately $2.25 million in travel costs through increased
emphasis in the use of Government Transportation Requests (GTRs)
and the Agency's new direct ticketing capability.
The CIA.. Polygraph-School, Office of Security, was used to its
fullest extent in 1983. It is capable of graduating twice as many
examiners annually at half the cost of the previously utilized
commercial school.
The Safety Staff, Office of the DDA, initiated a safety
enhancement program for posts and residences overseas during which
emergency escape breathing devices, fire extinguishers, first-aid
.kits, smoke detectors, and emergency descent devices were provided
as needed.
