DRUG ABUSE
1. INTRODUCTION
16 August
HN
Drug abuse in our society is of great concern. This notice
is being published in the interest of the welfare of Agency
employees and their dependents.
Although the Agency endeavors to respect and protect the
privacy of each employee to the extent possible, it cannot
condone or permit the illegal use of drugs by an employee.
if an employee is identified as a drug abuser, appropriate
administrative action will be taken which may result in
suspension, and in certain cases, dismissal from the Agency.
3. IDENTIFICATION OF ILLEGAL AND DANGEROUS DRUGS
The Drug Enforcement Administration has identified the most
common drugs being utilized illegally. Any Agency employee
can. obtain a listing of these drugs by contacting either the
Office of Medical Services or the Office of Security.
4. SEMINARS ON DRUG ABUSE FOR EMPLOYEES PROCESSING FOR
OVERSEAS ASSIGNMENTS
a. The families of several Agency employees have experienced
serious problems due to the ready availability of drugs
in overseas locations. In a number of instances this
resulted in the employee's early return short of tour.
In view of these difficulties, seminars have been developed
to better prepare employees and their dependents to cope
with such circumstances. The seminars are designed to
inform employee parents of the Agency's position on drug
abuse, the measure and effect of various drugs, the
legal hazards and embarrassments implicit in drug use in
foreign countries, and methods of identifying symptoms
of drug abuse.
b. Employee parents are required to attend seminars on drug
abuse in the course of processing for assignment overseas.
Spouses must accompany the employee/sponsor whenever
possible. Single and childless employees are invited to
attend but attendance is not mandatory.

c. Following attendance at the seminars, employee parents
are required to discuss the general circumstances of
the overseas drug problems with those of their children
who are at appropriate ages.
d. The Office of Security will schedule employees and
their spouses for appropriate seminars on drug abuse.
Component administrative or personnel officers should
STATOTHR call extension =for information on the dates seminars
will be schedu ec. For security reasons reservations
for specific em to ees should be made by calling red
STATOTHR line extension If a red line extension is not
available to the administrative or personnel officer,
reservations should be made by classified interoffice
memorandum addressed to C/SES/SOB/CD, Room 3-E-47
Headquarters Building.
e. As the Central Processing Branch, Office of Personnel,
does not process all overseas travelers, there is no
central point which can assume the responsibility for
ensuring that all employee parents attend seminars.
The responsibility must, therefore, be assumed by
command and be centered in the operating component
responsible for the administrative processing of em-
ployees assigned overseas PCS. Each employee will be
given a Form 3494, Statement of Understanding, at the
seminar he attends. This statement must be completed
and delivered to the employee's administrative officer
in his operating component before processing for overseas
is completed. This statement will be filed as a perma-
nent record in the employee's Official Personnel Folder.
5. GUIDANCE
The Office of Security or the Office of Medical Services
will furnish guidance to employees concerning any question
that might arise concerning drug abuse.
