Preliminary measures to standardize filing systems in

2. The followl ng is submitted merely as a suggestion for a breakdown
of staff assignments within ICAPS into logical divisions. It is realized that
we may not be quite ready for this, but at least such a breakdown might well
be of use as a guide in assigning individual responsibilities to the staff. I
believe the principle that must obtain is to prevent the staff from becoming
so immersed in day by day problems that they fail to exercise the utmost
initiative in progressively increasing the efficiency and extent of inter-
departmental coordination and planning.
