MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT . Inspector General's Survey of Cable Secretariat,
December 1963
1. Forwarded herewith is an IG survey report on the Cable
Secretariat, O/DCI. Also attached for your signature is a
memorandum to the Cable Secretary with a request for response in
30 days.
2. The Cable Secretariat is a tightly organized office which
provides, under demanding standards of timeliness and security,
dissemination of communications to Agency command and working
levels and to other agencies and departments. The Cable
Secretariat has met its mission so successfully that our recommen-
dations are peripheral to its primary function. We encountered a
sense of restlessness on the part of Secretariat personnel that
can be attributed to a combination of the repetitive character of
their work and the continued pressure under which they must
operate. We do not believe that this can ever be eliminated
completely, but we do believe that it can be reduced. Some of our
recommendations, therefore, are aimed at alleviating the tensions
under which Secretariat employees work. As this situation also
has potential security implications we have recommended that the
Cable Secretary give closer attention to the individual problems
of Secretariat personnel.
3. We have noted the fragmentation of the Agency's alerting
and watch mechanisms, of which the Cable Secretariat is one, and
have recommended that a special study group be formed to consider
the feasibility of consolidating these functions.
