MEMORANDUM FOR THE SPECIAL ASSISTANTS FOR CABINET
COORDINATION
Attached as specified in Item 4 of the Sub-Cabinet Record of
Action SRA - 2 of March 12 is a suggested format which those designated
as Committee Management Officers should use in accomplishing the
internal inventory of departmental, interdepartmental and public
advisory committees (cf. approved paper SCP - 1/1, March 12, 1955).
With respect to information concerning interdepartmental
committees, it is suggested that for each the chairing Department
prepare the information requested in the attached format, with the
understanding that Member Departments or others concerned can add
supplementary comments (e.g. in Cuestion 10) as they deem appropriate.
The Cabinet Secretariat will assume the responsibility of
making special arrangements for the inventory of committees chaired in
the White House (e. g. the Cabinet itself, the NSC and its sub-groups,
the Council on Foreign Economic Policy and its sub-groups, and
certain others). The Executive Officer of the Operations Coordinating
Board will assume the responsibility of preparing the required in-
formation concerning all OCB working groups or panels.
Attention is directed to the target dates specified in SC? - 1/1:
April 1 to designate, the respective Committee
Management Officers;
Ma to complete this first overall inventory;
June 30 to report "simplification" actions taken.
Thereafter, it should be emphasized, the committee management
.program is to be continuing -- each Committee Management Officer keeping
his inventory up to date and reviewing it periodically to ascertain what
new recommendations need to be made to his Department Head to achieve
the objectives in SCP - 1/1.
