Mr. William J. Casey,
Director of Central Intelligence
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, DC 20505
Dear Mr. Casey,
This letter is prompted by the recent concern in the government about the cost of
managing the personnel function in Federal agencies. As you know these costs have
come under scrutiny by the Grace Committee, the Office of Management and Budget
and others. OMB has recently asked certain Federal agencies to undertake activities
leading to a reduction in the cost of their personnel/payroll function by the end of FY
1984. This targeted reduction is based to a large extent on the conviction that
significant savings can be achieved in the cost of administering the personnel function
through the application of automated systems particularly in certain labor intensive
tasks now carried on by the personnel and payroll offices.
For affected agencies it will be a major challenge to meet this expectation while
maintaining adequate standards of service in the personnel management area. We
believe other Federal agencies will also wish to achieve savings in personnel system
operating costs. We are writing to you at this time because we believe ManTech
International Corporation has a unique capability to bring together skilled and experi-
enced consultant and operational assistance resources to help your agency reduce the
costs involved.
The information in this communication will be of interest to you:
o if you are concerned that the cost of running your agency's personnel/payroll
function is too high;
o if you feel the ratio of personnel jobs to program staff in your agency is
excessive;
o if your agency committment to adopt automated systems is being threat-
ened by serious problems and complaints about the products of the system;
o if you are concerned that advanced and expensive ADP equipment will not
be fully and effectively utilized in your agency's personnel system.
ManTech is an independently-owned firm of over 1000 employees which has
furnished management, engineering, automatic data processing and software systems
support to government agencies since 1968.

We have extensive experience in organization analysis, systems analysis and
systems procedures administration. ManTech has also been actively engaged in projects
involving position classification, position management analysis, personnel staffing,
development of recruiting/crediting plans including construction of selection, promotion
and performance criteria, manpower management and financial systems design and
analysis.
We can offer you two critical features which will be the key to success for any
agency in revamping and modernizing its personnel system in the computer age. The
first is the ADP expertise necessary to analyze requirements and provide the detailed
design/analysis necessary to produce application software for personnel/payroll func-
tions. The second is the personnel management expertise which will be needed to
assure a smooth transition from present manual methods to more advanced tech-
nologies.
In addition to top quality work in the most sophisticated aspects of management
technology, we provide operational technical assistance in all areas of personnel
management from preparing or revising position descriptions to developing performance
elements and standards. This means that as your personnel staff shifts over from large
numbers of jobs doing manual processing to smaller numbers of persons in "high tech"
occupations, ManTech can support you with readily available help when operational
crises arise.
Attached are: (1) five possible study scopes which are illustrative of assistance we
can offer, and (2) a description of our corporate capabilities.
We would be pleased to meet with you, at your convenience, to discuss how we
can be of service to your agency in this very important effort.
We would sincerely appreciate it if you would let us have your reaction-positive or
negative-to this proposal via the enclosed postage paid, self-addressed card.
I can be reached in our Alexandria, Virginia Office at
STAT
forward to hearing from and meeting with you in the near future
