D/CO
I recently forwarded my best wishes for the holiday season to
all of our colleagues serving in the field and, therefore, wish
to take this opportunity to reach all of you here in the domestic
arena. As the current year draws to a close, I sincerely want to
thank each and every member of the OC family for their individual
and sometimes superhuman efforts in assisting the Office in the
fulfillment of its mission. Our collective goal of modernization,
automation, and, not so simply, to be the best government
communications organization in the world, could not be achieved
without your personal dedication and the exceptional mastery of
your professional skills. Again, please accept my best wishes
for a joyous and festive holiday season and a prosperous new year,
crowned with happiness for you and your families.

1. The Agency's Compensation Task Force is now in full
operation. Various panels have been established to review the 38
occupations targeted for study. The Telecommunications Officer
and Field Engineer (Electronic Technician) occupations will be
part of the study so that any decisions made which affect benefits
will include OC banded employees (if they are better than what
our system now allows). Briefings on task force activities at
all levels are planned in the near future.
2. Twenty-six individuals attended presentations on the
Professional Opportunities in Telecommunications (POINT) program
administered at Headquarters by OC recruiters during the reporting
period. Seventeen expressed interest in a career with OC and

7. Enrollment has begun for the two new managerial training
courses that have been developed by the Office of Training and
Education. These courses replace the old "Management Development"
and "Supervisory Counseling" courses. The first course is
entitled "Managing In CIA" and addresses material that would be
appropriate for first-line supervisors. The second course is
entitled "Leading In CIA" and is geared towards personnel who are
at a level where they are the reviewing officials for performance
appraisals. "Managing In CIA" is a prerequisite for "Leading In
CIA".

1. The Area Headquarters staffs did an outstanding job of
responding to an immediate cable soliciting desirable physical
enhancements to help combat the terrorist threat at OC overseas
sites. Based on their input and with some additions from here,
CSD assembled a package identifying specific enhancements and
cost figures for fiscal years 1987 and 1988-1992. The CSD program
was sent to MPS for review before submission to senior Agency
management.

4. On 12 December, EDB placed a Power Line Disturbance
Monitor on the power line adjacent to EDSYS 1 and 2 in the Data
Acquisition Center. The monitor counts and registers voltage and
frequency disturbances outside the threshold settings. The
voltage thresholds are set at 110 volts-120 volts and frequency
thresholds are 57 Hz-63 Hz. Hopefully, the monitor will give us
good evidence that power is indeed the culprit behind our Wang
system failures.
