[243]PERSONNEL HR 20-53
[245]p53. CONTRACT PERSONNEL. This paragraph sets forth policy, authorities,
[246]and responsibilities concerning the management of contract personnel. It does
[247]not apply to consultants (see HR 20-52), to personal services acquired through
[248]industrial or procurement contracts (see HR 20-55), to personnel employed by
[249]proprietary projects (see HR 230-8), or to agents (see HR 20-54).
[251]a. GENERAL. There are two categories of contract personnel: contract employees
[252]and_ independent contractors.
[254](1) CONTRACT EMPLOYEES. Although they are not appointed employees,
[255]contract employees are employees of the U.S. Government. They have all
[256]the rights and privileges granted by law to U.S. Government employees
[257]in accordance with their citizenship status as well as those rights and
[258]privileges specified in their contracts. They work under supervised con-
[259]ditions and are compensated on a salary basis. Contract employees are
[260]grouped into three categories:
[262](a) Career Associate (Type C) Contract Employees: Contract employees -
[264]who perform duties, usually of a clandestine and operational nature,
[265]on a career basis. They are normally required to demonstrate their
[266]operational value to the Agency for not less than three years, in the
[267]case of U.S. citizens, or not less than five years, in the case of foreign
[268]nationals, to qualify for career associate status. When it is necessary
[269]for a career associate to have the staff-type access to an Agency instal-
[270]lation or classified information, he must meet the same security ap-
[271]Proval criteria as a staff employee.
[273]Internal (Type I) Contract Employees: Contract employees, engaged
[274]for a specific period of time, who normally work inside Agency instal-
[275]lations. They are required to meet the same security approval criteria
[276]as staff employees, but are permitted only such access to classified
[277]information as is authorized in their security approval and is required
[278]in the performance of their duties.
[280](b
[284]ate
[286]{c) External (Type E) Contract Employees: Contract employees, engaged .
[288]for a specific périod of time, who normally work outside Agency in-
[289]stallations. They are not required to meet the same security approval
[290]criteria as staff employees and. are not permitted the same access
[291]to Agency installations as staff employees or internal cortract em-
[292]ployees. They are permitted only such access to classified information
[293]as is authorized in their security approval and is required in the per-
[294]formance of their duties.
[296](2) INDEPENDENT Se eters are not employees of the U.S. Government.
[298]They are self-employe uals who are engaged under contract to
[299]provide specific services. They receive only the compensation and benefits
[300]considered necessary to retain their services. In the Operations Directorate,
[302]their duties are normally limited to historical research and analysis and
[304]to the direction, utilization, spotting, or support of agents. They normally
[306]dé ot Carry out espionage or covert action tasks. (Care must be taken:
[308]to distinguish between independent contractors, defined herein, and 1 agents,
[309]defined in HR 20-54.)
[311]ib. POLICY
[313]| ;
[314]| (1) Contract personnel may be engaged when. va
[316]| (a) it is necessary to provide for operational or support needs which can-
[317]i not be met through the use of available staff personnel;
[319]i (b) services are. required of particularly well-qualified individuals who
[320]L, cannot meet all requirements for staff employment;

[358]the Agency to long-term employment;
[360]the nature of the mission for which the individual is being engaged
[362]precludes his being subject to administrative control or working spe-
[363]eifically defined hours;
[365]the individual’s primary employer or interest is not the Agency and
[366]the services the Agency desires from him are supplementary to his
[367]primary interest or vocation; or
[369]there is a long term requirement for personal services which, for op-
[370]perational or security reasons, cannot be performed by Agency staff
[371]personnel.
[373]The engaging of contract personnel is subject to the following restrictions:
[375](ay
[377](b
[383]New contracts, contract renewals, and contract amendments for in-
[384]dividuals under current or anticipated nonofficial cover, must have
[385]prior approval of the appropriate component of the Operations Direc-
[386]torate.
[388]Contract personnel may be engaged only for approved activities for
[389]which funds have been made available. Funds for these activities will
[390]be budgeted annually and will not exceed limitations imposed by the
[391]head of the component concerned.
[393]Contract employees are subject to directorate manpower controls and .
[395]ceilings established by the Director of Central Intelligence during the
[396]annual budgetary review cycle. Independent contractors are excluded
[398]_ from ceiling controls.
[400](d)
[402](d)
[404](f
[408](g)
[410]Contracts will, whenever. possible, be written and signed. However,
[411]when special security or operational factors prevent the execution of
[412]a formal written contract, a memorandum in lieu of such a contract
[413]may be prepared to document the commitments and obligations of the
[414]Agency and the individual.
[416]Appropriate security or operational approvals will be obtained before
[417]any contractual commitments are made to individuals and before any:
[418]disclosure to them of classified information.
[420]No commitments relating to the use of the services of an employee of
[422]‘another Government agency will be made without prior approval of
[424]the Operating Official or Head of Independent Office concerned and
[425]the Director of Personnel.
[427]No commitments will be made to contract personnel that appointed .
[429]employment status will be offered at the conclusion of or during any -
[431]- period of their contract service; without prior approval of the Director
[433](h)
[435](i)
[437]. which obligates the Agency to provide medical or. disability benefits.
[439]of Personnel and the Director of Security.
[441]Contract employees must meet Agency medical standards prior to the.
[442]approval and authentication of their contracts. A psychological assess-.
[444]ment and psychiatric evaluation of those contract employees in whom '.
[446]the Agency may have more than a short-term interest will: be carried
[447]out whenever feasible.
[449]Independent contractors are normally not required to meet Agency ,
[451]medical standards; however, if their contract contains any provision
[453]a satisfactory medical examination is required, to include a psycho-
[454]logical assessment and psychiatric evaluation, if: necessary. -

[797]Government employees; therefore, they will not be managed in accordance
[798]with normal personnel and administrative standards.
[800](a) Initial approval of the Counter Intelligence Staff is required before any
[801]commitments are made or any classified information is disclosed to.
[803]an agent.
[805](b) Agents will receive compensation, benefits, and emoluments in amounts
[807]and a manner deemed best by the Operations Directorate to motivate
[809]and control them, subject to the following limitations:
[811](1) No commitment may be made to an agent to provide gross com-
[812]pensation (basic compensation, additional compensation, fees, ete.)
[814]at a rate which, if projected on an annual basts, would exceed the ,
[816]maximum rate for a GS-15, without prior approval of the Director.
[818]This Hmitation applies only to payments made by the Agency. It .
[820]does not apply to bona fide cover income.
[821](2) No commitment may be made to an agent to provide special bene-
[822]fits, without the prior approval of the Director of Personnel. Special
[823]benefits are Agency obligations other than basic compensation,

[1047]1. GENERAL ~
[1049]i a. Elemental in the conduct of clandestine operations is the use of human
[1050]™ - |. agents to accomplish the missions of the Operations Directorate. In gen-
[1052]- eral, it is DDO policy to select agent assets with primary regard to the
[1053]agents’ abilities, target access, and security, and with few restrictions as
[1054]to their origins, professions or status as members of particular groups. The
[1055]basic rule is that any consenting adult may be used -by the Operations
[1057]- _ .. " "+ Directorate. There. are, however, certain sensitive categories of individuals
[1059]“+ or groups whose operational use by the Operations Directorate is prohibited
[1061]C- So, a .- or.in some way restricted for reasons not necessarily related to security.
[1062]1? considerations.
[1064]_ b, These prohibitions or restrictions stem from one of the following:
[1065](1) The Agency has been directed by .U.S. Governmental authority to
[1066]restrict or avoid the operational use of a particular category of in-
[1067]‘dividuals.
[1068]oo (2) The Agency has entered into a special restrictive agreement: with an
[1069]a > ; , "+ organization, government, corporation, or official responsible for a
[1070]Lad -- eategory of individuals. __
[1071](3) The Director or the’ Deputy Director for Operations ‘has imposed
[1072], restrictions on the operational use of a certain category of individuals
[1073]due to the extreme risk or sensitivity of such exploitation.
[1075]2 PURPOSE .
[1077]The purpose of this instruction is ‘to set forth the prohibitions and “policy
[1078]restrictions (as distinguished from security restrictions) which currently per-
[1079]tain to the operational use of various categories of individuals, together with —
[1080]the. special approval procedures to be followed in certain cases. Where ap--
[1081]propriate, reference has been made to another publication which provides
[1082]more detailed guidance than has been attempted in this instruction. The

[1098]3. DEFINITIONS
[1100]- Within the context of this instruction, the definitions listed below will apply.
[1102]Special note must be taken of the fact that the key term “operational use”
[1103]employed throughout this instruction has been defined in the most succinct
[1104]manner consistent with clarity. It has not been feasible, however, to cover in
[1105]a definition the entire scope of possible variations in operational circumstances
[1106]which may be encountered in DDO activities. The definition of “operational
[1108]use” is intended to provide guidance for the majority of cases, and must be.
[1109]. employed with responsible operational judgment. Issues involving a deter-
[1110]. mination of “operational use” which cannot be resolved with reasonable as-
[1111]-surance by the. responsible operating comporents will be referred to the
[1112]_Deputy Director for Operations for decision. -
[1114]a. Operational Use
[1116]Operational use is interpreted to mean the recruitment, utilization, or train-
[1117]‘ing of any individual or group for DDO purposes on either a witting or
[1119]unwitting basis by or on the’ behalf of an element of the Operations Direc- ©
[1121]torate. Utilization is made of an individual or group whenever that in-
[1123]dividual or group, responding to the direction or solicitation of a DDO.
[1125]element, provides information, performs services, provides cover, or supplies

[1128]ment of. the Operations Directorate. °
[1130]~ b. DDO Element
[1132]’ Any person or group who or which is responsible to, ‘owned or controlled

[1247]It is Agency policy that former members of ACTION may be em-
[1248]ployed or used by. the Agency or by organizations under its jurisdiction
[1249]only in accordance with the following: —
[1251](a) Except as stated in (b) below, a former member of ACTION
[1252]may be employed or used operationally by any elemént of the
[1253]Agency only if a period of five full years has elapsed since his
[1254]separation from ACTION.
[1256](b) An Agency-controlled organization may hire a former member of.
[1257]ACTION, but only for duties related to the overt. purposes of such

[1261](c) The employment or use of a former member of ACTION under
[1262]the provisions of subparagraph (a) or (b).above must have the

[1265]Former trainees whose ACTION service included duty or training over-
[1267]seas are subject to the rules governing employment or use of former
[1269]members of ACTION (subparagraph (2) above). Former trainees who
[1271]did not serve at any time as members of ACTION and whose ACTION

[1333]does not apply to the several other categories of grantees supported by
[1334]other provisions of the Fulbright-Hays Act such as artists, athletes, leaders,
[1335]we specialists or participants at international trade fairs or expositions who

[1645]It is DDO policy that the operational use of delegates or employees of
[1647]the United Nations, including those of its various ‘main organs and of

[2072]' the Chief, Counter Intelligence Staff, or his designee, will, if the Office of
[2073]Security does not recommend against the use of the individual, determine
[2074]whether an Operational Approval should be granted and will notify the Of-
[2075]fice of Security of its decision. However, in the event the Office of Secu-
[2076]rity recommends against the use of an individual and the Clandestine
[2077]Services still desires, on a calculated risk basis, to use the individual,
[2079], the Counter Intelligence Staff will inform the Office of Security of this
[2080](i ca fact. In this event, the Counter Intelligence Staff and the Security Support
[2081]v _ ; Division will endeavor to arrive at an agreed position and, to this end,
[2082]the former will hold the granting of the Operational Approval in abeyance
[2083]until five days have elapsed after the Office of Security has been advised
[2084]of this intention, The Counter Intelligence Staff will notify the Office of
[2085]C ; ‘ Security whenever it has:
[2087]ot ; .(1) Granted an Operational Approval or a Provisional Operational approves
[2088](2) Cancelled an Operational Approval.
[2090]e. In Operational Approval cases the Office of Security will forward investi-
[2091]gative reports, name check results, etc., to the Counter Intelligence Staff.
[2092]In extremely sensitive cases, however, particularly those in which the
[2093]. . . security or good of the Agency as a whole is involved, the Office of Secu-
[2094]4: . rity will not be obliged to furnish all investigative material. In such cases
[2095]vos ; ; the Office of Security will inform the Counter Intelligence Staff that such
[2096]material has been withheld and will, upon request, discuss the matter with
[2097]the Chief, Counter Intelligence Staff, or other appropriate official of the
[2098]Clandestine Services.
[2100]fA Provisional Operational Approval may also be requested where circum- a
[2101]' stances warrant. A search of the indices of the Agency, including those |
[2102]; . of the Office of Security, is a minimum requirement for issuance of a Pro-
[2103]ewe . a. visional Operational Approval.
[2105]g. Whenever interest in an individual under consideration for either an n Oper=.
[2106]ational Approval or a Provisional Operational Approval is terminated for
[2107]any reason, the requester, in order to prevent needless processing, will .
[2108]notify the Counter Intelligence Staff promptly so that the latter may in turn
[2109]advise the Office of Security.
[2111]5. COVERT SECURITY APPROVALS AND. PROPRIETARY APPROVALS

[2149]stances where a document of interest contains sensitive operational data,
[2150]designated professional personnel within the operating division will re-
[2151]view that portion of the information and furnish therefrom to the repre- .
[2152]sentatives of the Office of Security all information of the nature described
[2153]in paragraph 5.a., above. The Office of Security will conduct appropriate-
[2154]investigation in each case and will issue or deny Covert Security Approvals

[2172]Party.
[2174]d. Where the Office of Security issues or denies a Covert Security Approval
[2175]or a Proprietary Approval, formal notification will be directed to the re-
[2176]quester. In the case of disapproval one copy of the security disapproval
[2178]'. will be forwarded to the Counter Intelligence Staff. Where a Covert Se-
[2180]curity Approval or Proprietary Approval is denied and the Clandestine
[2181]Services still desires to use the subject on a calculated risk basis, the Of-
[2183]fice of Security will, upon request, furnish to the Counter Intelligence Staff a —
[2185]summary of the investigative data. Thereafter, the Counter Intelligence
[2187]Staff, the requester, and the Security Support Division will attempt to reach —
