SUBJECT: NAPA Study of Intelligence Civilian Personnel Systems
1. As you know, the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) is
conducting a year-long study of the Community's civilian personnel systems.
The study is a Congressionally-directed action, stipulated in-the FY 1988
Intelligence Authorization Act. For some months, a Steering Group drawn from
.the Community and led by PPO has worked closely with NAPA to provide guidance
for the effort and to get the study underway. The NAPA study team has now
completed the first phase of the study and established a baseline
understanding of the various personnel systems at issue. The team has also
identified the areas it will analyze in detail and is assembling data to
support that analysis.
2. Among the areas that will be researched is the effect that possible
changes in mission will have on personnel requirements in the future. On this
aspect of the study, NAPA will work directly with the IC Staff rather than
with the individual agencies. As part of its research on this topic, NAPA has
asked for a review of the FY 1984-1988 NFIP budgets to identify initiatives
that carry personnel implications for the outyears. The request has only been
stated in broad terms, but basically involves identification of initiative
start-up dates and outyear staffing and skill level implications. A copy of
the data call is attached for your information.
3. I will meet with the NAPA team leaders (Don Wortman and Frank Yeager)
on 18 May at 1330 in my office (Room 3SO9) to organize the future missions
