Analysis of Meepower in CIA
1. From the reading as well as fronthe verbal responses in
your meetings, I think this paper for thaJCI good - and as far as
you can go now.
2. You know P. Dulles and his mind In respect to this mon,
power question better than I - however, I think it sight be well to
try a one-page summary of fiddings to prepare his better for the
detailed 19 pages.
a. I have In mind particularly here that the answers to
the first two questions present preblems of a wall-end-haul
and yes-but nature yielding relatively small dividends over
a substantial period of trying, whereas, if there is no opera-
tori' tongue in cheek in the answers to the third question, we
may perhaps conclude that the last is so overriding as to make
the first two academic.
b. Regardless, the DCI Should go through these 19 pages.
He needs these findings and we need his reaction in the detail
questions posed as well as on the over-ill. In particular the
Whole matter of duplicatory functions and performance for others
(Departaents) cut right into his own rightful concern in respect
to intra-Ageney relations.*
3. Here is a paper of findings without your or the Committee
opinion or recoimendation in respect thereto. The Director may very
veil may to you, Millet does your Committee think about possible
action?" For whatever US, it might be to you and almost regardless
of what the Director may :my to the Congressional Committee, I be-
lieve that he Should require each of the three elements to undertakc
pruning scrutiny. I have particular reference to the overlapping
aspects and our service to other agencies of the GoVernment. One
might very well aek on this point why the State Department shouldn't
do "b" on page 6 - and also "c" on page 6. (State has about two
hundred people in their Economic area aad R also does some research
in world economics - E,st-West trade, etc.)

4. Also, I have in mind a rather severe soruti of rofits"
or worthiness-far-lale price on DCVO projects - to be done by other
than directly interested parties, i.e., by the ID mechanism. Clearly
this is properly a continuing management (line) process also.
There's so much gold In theme hills that you might deem it well to
deal with such specifically - in this report. Parenthetically, I
remember so well an analysis I made on a staff agent activities
Where we were being ployed for complete suckers. (rhey fired him.)
5, Also, on the whole matter of contracting What we could do
perhaps might take an eephasis, as a separate point, from you. (We
have only one reference to it in your paper.) I just plain don't
believe Baird when he says that it is not advantageous to contract
Some of his courses, such as area and language, in one or more of
the ,universities here in Washington. As you realism, our mots are
not jest in our direct 01 funds. Also Matt hos some leaning toward
empire.
6. At about the same level of ipportence? as personnel record
Which you have briefly dealt with, there is another matter
dh we did not deal at all and on which I would love to see a
. It is that of money spent for wentextainaent*. If you
already know of enough instances to make this scrutioy war-
you certainly know of ways to find out such instances -
and they are with us. Perhaps one good way of getting this out would
be via an 2344elected, cleared, outside auditor. His indostrination
in respect to what to look for is largely within the realm of commori.
sense and Gould be given in the matter of two minutes.
7. I firstly believe that our present utilization of manpower
is stirring around in sufficiently swampy- ground so that f we pulled
our belts tiP a couple of notches we could undertake new and desirable
activities. This thought, however, is one on which nothingiewer:will
be done unless the DCI lays down a requirement on th.; operatore to
tighten our belts. It is to be noted also in this coonnection, that
because of ceiling, we are behind in needful production or results in
some places. Alleviation could be secured by better or tougher operat-
ing control in the use of people.
8. For my mohaYs You have dealt with the $64.00 question, i.e.,
a new and growing Agency trying to be responsive to particular and
vastly important demands from tha Government as a whole. To scruti-
nize the use of manpower is always constructive, and your Committee
proposal is just one method of so doing, particularly in light of tits
