MEMORANDUM FOR : Chief, Operational Services, DD/P
SUBJECT : Effectiveness Program
1. With regard to our recent telephone conversation,
the following information is forwarded:
a. The CHALICE project was reviewed in detail
during 1958. At that time spaces were reduced from
359 to 336.
b. In February 1959 the Air Section joined with the
special project staff and the Development Projects
Division was formed. Spaces authorized the Air Section
were reduced from 23 to 10.
c. The maintenance and inspection functions of the
dice of Logistics wore transferred from AD to DPD
along with seven of the 13 authorized positions. Four
positions were retained by O/L and two positions were
abolished. Although it was anticipated that an additional
saving of two or three positions would result, for the
present no action has been taken to effect s cut here.
d. The liaison function taken over from Division D
is under discussion as we are questioning the continued
need for these positions on our TIC).
e. The above actions have resulted in a personnel
codling for DPI) of 371. The merger resulted in a saving
positions. A summary showing the disposition of
these positions is attached. (See Att. I)
f. The DPI? has assisted in working out an arrange-
ment whereby the EAOB now stationed in Wiesbaden would
be moved to the ZI and organized so that flight line main-
tenance, training and operations would be under the
authority and responsibility of the detachment commander.
At present the USAF authorizes 103 spaces for this

pnspose in Germany. When the unit is deployed to the
V. S., 99 spaces (approximately) may be moved from
Air Force rolls to CIA rolls. In this connection, CIA
and Air Force are now in the process of negotiating
an arrangement whereby the personnel directly con-
trolled by CIA would be carried on CIA rolls and
those responsible directly to the Air Force would be
carried on Air Force rolls. This could mean a world-
wide increase in the number of Air Force personnel
carried on CIA rolls. One way of relieving CIA would
be to seek DOD agreement to carry the group of people
involved under a special DOD category not chargeable
to total Air Force spaces, with financial reimbursement
from CIA. is the action officer on
this project.
Z. Of the current authorization of 371 spaces for DPD,
365 are filled at the present time. (See attached list, Att. 2).
We will continue to examine any savings in military spaces
wherever possible.
