25X1A9a MEMORAMUM FOR:
5 December 1955
25X1A9a
SUBJECT: Effect of a Manpower Reduction and Adequacy of
Current Manpower Authorization in Light of
Requirements
1. As requested, the following is submitted in addition to
our memorandum of 23 November 1955 to the DD/S, subject, "Agency
Manpower Study":
Item 4, your memorandum: What functions would you eliminate,,
or what procedures would ou follow 37 a 1-07-reduction from manpower
on duty 31 October 1955 was reqidred?
The procedural approach would be the way in which a 10% reduction
from manpower would be effected by the Commercial Staff. The responsi-
bilities and functions of that Staff do not lend themselves to a
separation or elimination of specific functional elements of the work
involved. Further, should such a reduction of manpower be forced on
the Commercial Staff, the work presently being performed by the
employees on board would have to be realigned and reassigned to the
remaining employees. The reduction in force would be effected on
the basis of the qualifications, capabilities and on-job effectiveness
of the present personnel of the Staff, giving full consideration
of the abilities of each person to produce under additional work
loads, Based on such considerations, the outright release of those
(up to 10%) least able to meet the added requirements would follow,
Such reduction, it is felt, could be effected within 60 to 90 days,
2. Item 5t your memorandum: Are any organizational units now
whole or in part, by another component of this Agency or by another
Government Agency?
See memorandum dated 23 November 1955, referred to above,
paragraph 1 (b).
3. Item 6, your memorandum: Are there funct4ons or require-
ments now ass ne you which are beyond your present capacity to
porm so, give an indication othe number or additional
personnel required to perform such functions,

The Commercial Staff reduced 10% could not possibly undertake
any additional support of projects within its sphere of responsi-
bilities, and certainly the extent and effectiveness of its present
support would be reduced,
