1. As of 27 February, we have 33 minority EOD's in the officer and
technical sub-categories for this fiscal year:
White 327
Minority 33
360
The 33 minorities break out as follows:
Black 12 Asian Pacific 2
Hispanic 5 Other 13
Native American 1
Corrections are constantly being made to the data base, so we he to see the
"others" category reduced and spread out in the Black, Hispanic, and Asian
codes. If it continues to grow, we will break it down in future reports.

air. They discussed Agency career opportunities with over 125 students who
visited the CIA booth. As a result, 30 interviews were added to those already
scheduled by the school's Coordinator of Minority Affairs. They also met with
school officials to discuss the Agency's mission, career opportunities, and
officer-technical qualifications. We found several strong candidates for
employment, including 3 potential CTs, and gave out 32 PBS packages.

Significant meetings and briefings
The Director of Personnel (Robert Magee), De ut Director of Personnel
Deputy Director of Et 1 ment Hispanic
Program Manager Recruiter and Director, EBD (Avon Harding)
met with Councilman Richard Alatorre, who represents the 14th District of
Los Angeles California. We addressed the Agency's minority recruitment effort
in general and the Hispanic Program in particular. Councilman Alatorre from
the very beginning appeared extremely skeptical and suspicious of the Agency
and its stated goals of increasing our Hispanic professional and technical
workforce. He had harsh words to say about our recruitment film, which he
watched with us, and stated that he saw no Brown faces. He further questioned
our commitment when he asked if we had any Hispanic field recuiters and was
told we do not.
After much dialog and a visit to our Headquarters facility, the
councilman, largely through the efforts of the D/OP, relented and seemingly
made a complete turn around offering his assistance in our ongoing recruitment
effort. The Councilman's initial suspicions, however highlight and bring
vividly into focus the task we must address of reaching and educating a large
segment of this country's Hispanic population.
