.Office Memorandum ? UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
TO
FROM : Chief, NAPS
SUBJECT:
DATE: 25 June 1917
1. I am constantly in doubt as to what papers issuing from the CI G
to the NIA and to the IAB agencies should be signed by the Director, the
Deputy Director, the Executive Director, the Secretary, NIA or an appropriate
Office Director.
2. I am equally confused on a recurring basis as to what ICAPS papers-
are subject to review and approval by the Executive Staff, what papers'should
seek their concurrence and what papers should go directly to the Director..
3. A third, source of c*nfusioi is the relationship between the Deputy
Director and the Director in so far as their authority affects the operations
of ICAPS,and what the desires of these two high officers are concerning the
delivery to the front office of papers originating in or passing through. ICAPS.
la.. This situation has existed since my arrival in CI G and has nothing
to do with current incumbents. I have not requested a clarification at an
earlier date in the belief that we were in the process of organization and
the practices and procedures of a fixed nature were not heretofore practicable.
5. I now believe that the time has come to establish these procedures
and .1 request that you give me your ideas in memorandum form so that I may
submit them to the Deputy Director and the Director for approval.
