that if the CIA Career Service Board reviews the evaluation
reports it may find much of value that will help it solve
both policy and specific problems in the career program,
There is the further point that the Personnel Evaluation
Report is not a 'rating" form as my working group underst .d
that term since it does not compare the person rated with
other persons.
c. It is believed that the membership (of the Office Career
Service Boards) as proposed in Tab B is more flexible -than
that proposed in paragraph 3. a. of Reference and at the
same time permits the function of appropriate review of
personnel evaluation reports,
d, The justification for one member on the office Board below
the Staff or Division Chief level is not seen was unanimously
rejected and such a member is therefore not included in Tab B.
e. Tab B does not include on the office Board a member from
another Office, There is nothing to prevent calling in an
official from another Office When rotation or other proble
involving two or more offices are being considered. But it
is felt not worth the cost to have an extra Office member
sit regularly with each Office Board. Uniformity of practice
could probably-be better assured by effective liaison between
? the Secretari t of the CIA Career Service o rd with each of
the Office Board

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, Career Service Committee
FROM t Chairman, Working Group on Career Benefits
SUBJECT 8 Adjustments to Career Service Program
1. In response to your memorandum of 8 April 1952, this Working
Group has carefully considered the specific points raised in paragraph
30e. It was noted that the request which was received from the DCI
dicates that adjustments to the Career Service Program are to be made
as a result of the Progress Report submitted by the Career Service Com-
mittee on 22 .January 1952. It is our assumption, therefore, that the
Final Report of this Working Group submitted on 21 February 1952 was
not the basis on which the adjustments were requested. That Final Re=
port attempted to formulate an integrated program of career benefits
and contains many background references necessary to a full compre-
hension of the program. At best, Tab E of the Progress Report of
22 January 1952 which Tab was entitled "Career Benefits Desired by
CIA", is only a summary and an indication of types of benefits cm-
cerning which this Working Group intended to make full recommendations
In its Final Report.
2. Prior to final adoption of the adjustments requested, it is -
urgently recommended that full consideration be given to the contents
of the Final Report of this Working Group.
3. In response to the request contained in your memorandum, it
is believed that the Final Report, as previously submitted, can be used
as a basis for adjustment as set forth below.
a. It is stated that additional pay for hazardous duty
should not be included as part of the career service benefits.
Tab C of the Final Report contains the full recommendation on
this subject and to comply with the request need only be de.
leted. However, it is our firm belief that the recommendations
contained therein should be considered by the appropriate ele-
ments of the Agency looking toward adoption at the earliest
possible time. Considerable study was devoted to this subject
at the specific request of the Career Service Committee and it
is hoped the effort will have served a purpose.
b. It was indicated that the meritorious awards system
should be limited to Class 1 (Clerical and Administrative) and
Class 2 (Specialists). The meritorious awards program as con-
tained in Tab D of the Final Report of this Working Group need

be changed only at paragraph 1.A0 to reflect application to
Classes 1 and 2 in order to meet the requested adjustments*
Aside from the basic question of whether or not CIA career
employees should be broken down into three categories, it is
our recommendation that Class 3 (Professionals) should not
be denied the opportunity to participate in the CIA awards
program* We believe that the fundamental principles under-
lying the desirability of such a program applicable to special-
ists and clerical and administrative personnel are equally ap-
plicable, if not more so, to professionals. Further, it is
our belief that particularly in CIA where professional per-
sonnel for the great part are forced into a role of anonymity
insofar as brother professionals are concerned, including the
public, there should be an internal system of awards to recog-
nize outstanding achievement or professional attainment. We
are not aware of any awards program in the Government which
denies participation to "professionals" or "officers". For
example, in the military, the standards established for the
awarding of honor medals make no distinction between officer
and enlisted personnel.
c* The remaining points on which adjustments were re-
quested pertain to items which would require legislative action*
Specifically, it was indicated that the following items be eli-
minated at this time because of legislative difficultiess
(1) Compensation to dependents of personnel en-
gaged in hazardous duty who are themselves exposed to
hazard
(2) death gratuities to dependents of CIA per
sonnel whose death occurs overseas4
The Working Group in considering all of those benefits which
would require legislativ action attempted to recognize the
difficulties which would be attendant upon attempting to secure
legislation at this time. Particularly with reference to the
items that were suggested to be eliminated, our Working Group
has made no recommendation that legislation be secured at this
time or during this session of Cmgress. We did state "it is
recommended that continuing attettion be given to those items
of the program of career benefitr which will require legislation
to secure their attainment"0 nut recommendation recognized
the difficulties surrounding legiAative matters and left the
matter of timing to those appropriately concerned. Our recom-
mendation further intended to convey the fact that these bene-
fits are desirable for CIA employaes and should be considered a
part of a long-range program to develop service in CIA as a true
Career Service*

d. It is stated that legislative requests will be difficult
enough if limited to subparagraphs f0 g. and h. in Tab E which
refers to the following items:
(1) f. refers to pay, within-grade raises and grade
promotions for personnel who are detained involuntarily
by foreign governments. It is pointed out in Tab H of
our Final Report that the Department of Defense is spon-
soring a similar bill to meet its needs. It VAS recom-
mended therein that, in an appropriate manner, CIA support
such bill. That action would eliminate the requirement
of CIA having to introduce in the Congress special legis,
Utica in its behalf.
(2) g0 refers to a more liberal retirement system
and h0 refers to an appropriate and adequate leave system
for overseas employees. With respect to these items, this
Working Group made no specific recommendations other than
that set forth in 3.0. above.
4. Paragraph 1 of your memorandum requested that the adjustments
required by the DCI should be incorporated in an appropriate redraft
of our Final Report. In view of the above statements with respect to
appropriate deletions, it is believed that this memorandum will ade-
quately respond to your request.

WORKING GROUP ON TRAINEES
The Working Group on Trainees feels that the elimination of the
statement Of policy-mill indicate that the program does not have even
the formal support of the DCI. Furthermore such elimination deprives
the program of a basic policy from which directives and procedures may
be derived. An undertaking of this scope and merit must be so defined
as to ensure the harmonious implementation of the program without mis-
interpretation.
The proposal formally to divide employees into the three classes
(clerical and administrative, specialist, professional) is, we feel,
unsound. This is an artificial division; it mould cause serious ad-
ministrative difficulty; and would certainly have an adverse effect
on the morale of the Agency. There are multiple categories, each of
which mould require a separate program.
The Working Group on Trainees feels that the other required changes
do not affect its recommendations for initial selection and training of
professionals. It is fairly obvious that technical employees should not
be hired if they are not technically proficient. The present orientation
program is sufficient for their indoctrination.
