15 aeptesiber 1970
1. Present were Mester amith? Bannerman, earamessinee,
ateininger, Houston, atevart Wattles, and the undersigned.
2. The first sebject tabled by the axecutive Director vete the
incorporation of the aelection-Out concept into Agency regulations.
Colonel White made it clear that be vented the views of all eresent
on whether the Selection-Out concept should be included
or In a separate revelation. He did not want a detailed review of
the reaulatiou language. mt. Houston favored including aelection-aut
25X1 I He believed a multiplicity of regulations covering
involuntary separation would be confusing to the employees, contesting
to those engaged in the processing of involuntary eeparatione and
could be troublesome to layers if a ease were taken to the court.
ar. Karamessines preferred a separate regulation primarily to dietin-
gull& between those being separated for a variety of reasons based
on unsuitability and those being selected out. tr. Bannerman
expressed the opinion that a second regulation would duplicate
in all procedural details and, therefbre, appeared unnecessary although
he recognized the problem raised by Mt. Karemessines. lr. amith tended
to agree with Ar. Bannerman but thought that a compromise position could
be reached by rewritineithe scope section of the regulation to provide
for two categories of separation actions. mr. atewartes position for P?.
separate regulation to cover Selection-Out had been prepared in writieg
and was in the hands of all present. Colonel White thought it a good
idea, and all present agreed, to attempt a rewrite in which aelectioneeut
and more negative reasons for separation would be covered separately in
the "scope" portion of the regulation.
3. ae. Wattle's then briefed the group on the status of negro employ-
ment in the Oovernmesst in general and in the Ageney. The key point made
was that the Agency has made little progress in the employment of negroes
during the past twelve years. The group wan also advised of a nuaber of
positive measures being taken by tha Office of Personnel to improve this

to recruit qualified negroes. A nuiher of suggestial3s were made
imcIuding the use of a highly qualified -consultant and consultation with
on-board negro professionals to determine whether they could recommend
promising candidates.
4. Colonel White reviewed case of a y female egployee vho
resigned from the lmtelligence Directorate after endtng over one year
twit* to transfer to the Plans Directorate. This case came to the
Director's attention as the reset of a letter sent to him by this young
lady sagainins the difficulties she encountered. It was recognised
that the girl in ossation was rather restrictive in identifying the type
of duties she wanted to porters thereby complicating the prehles of
reassignment. Nevertheless, the Director wants the Deputies to adopt
a more positive attitude in accommodating junior employees who want to
transfer between Directorates. He doesn't see this as a major praise
for individuals at the GG-7 through 9 grade levels.
5. Colonel White's next subject els the limited retirement quota
now available ender the CIA Retirement Gystam. Be bad discussed this
problem with the Director vho thooght it best loot to put the brakes
on too bard." Colonel White's gsidance was to consider all cases with
care, as we always do, but to bundle requests for retirement as they
came ferward. We any want to reconsider this question in a few months,
if necessary. The Deputies were urged not to encoormge the &Omission
of cases claiming Walifying service Alen the nature of the
service clearly does not afiet the regulatory criteria. Be recognised
that such requests must be forwarded if the employee insists.
6. AA his final item, Colonel White announced that the Army War
College had requested that the Agency provide an officer to the college
faculty. The Director has agreed to make a man available for this
assignment.
