MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Legislation
Office of Congressional Affairs
FROM: Hugh E. Price
Director of Personnel
SUBJECT: First Draft of Intelligence Authorization Bill
for Fiscal Year 1988
REFERENCE: Your memo, same subject, OCA 86-3968, dtd 2 December 1986
Per your request, we have reviewed the subject legislative draft. It is
our understanding that no provision of the bill detracts from current DCI or
Agency personnel authorities; that Section 705 of the bill neither requires
the DCI to establish, nor precludes him from establishing, a graduate-level
"critical skills" program similar to the one mandated for NSA; and that
Sections 703 and 704 would increase the benefits available to Agency
personnel, while Section 607 would enhance the benefits available to military
personnel assigned to intelligence duties in support of the DCI. Subject to
this understanding, we have no objections to the draft bill, and in fact,
specifically support Sections 607, 703, and 704. Although the effect of this
bill will be to give NSA, DIA, and the military departments' intelligence
components greater authority and bring those organizations closer to parity
with the Agency in the personnel and benefits areas, this Agency still would
retain its preeminent status, and the new initiatives being pursued by the
Agency's Human Resource Modernization and Compensation Project should serve to
keep this Agency first and foremost in the Community in personnel matters.
