MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Personnel, DDA
FROM . Deputy Director, NFAC
SUBJECT . Position Evaluation Factors for Imagery Analysts
Discussions have been underway [or several months now between
managers of Agency components with imagery analysis responsibilities
and some of your people from Position Management and Compensation
Division regarding position evaluation factors for imagery analysts.
I understand that as matters now stand, PMCD views imagery analysts
as supportive to all-source analysts, and consequently--according to
PMCD philosophy--should be graded one grade below the all-source
analyst positions.
I want to go on record as being diametrically opposed to the
PMCD position on this issue. Based on my experiences; in all-source
intelligence production offices; as Executive Director and Director
of NPIC; and now at the Directorate level, I am convinced that there
are not any distinction between imagery analysts and all-source
analysts that merit the grade differences which now exist. If any
such distinctions ever did exist they have long since disappeared.
Because of my position on this issue, I cannot. accept the PMCD drafted
factor evaluation system for imagery analysts. Rather, I urge that
you give serious consideration to the draft factors prepared by the
imagery analysis organizations as the guide for future position audits.
