Office Memora
TO : Deputy Director (Administration)
FROM : Advisor for Management
SUBJECT: Central Agency Property Accountability.
DATE: 17 January 1951
1. Discussed and considered for more than one year the possi-
bility and practicability of a central CIA property accountability
service to account for Agency property and to remove responsibility
from all office segments of CIA. To replace the office responsi-
bility, the Procurement Office will install one Procurement Office
employee in every building or group of small buildings to handle
the ordering, accountability and disposal of all Agency property.
2, Items which are removable will be accounted for at the
discretion of the building accountable officer by securing note or
memorandum receipts from the individual users (such items as expen-
sive pen sets, slide rules, portable typewriters, cameras, brief
cases, etc.; the basic list consists of approximately 16 or 20 items,
experience may add or subtract).
3, The system will require approximately 15 Procurement Office
employees for implementation. These 15 will not be a net increase
in the long run, as the Management Staff will be able to pick up
approximately that many grades and positions in the operating offices
in the next 90 days. Initially, we will only be able to save five
or six positions, but we should be able to prevent OCI's three posi-
tions,
1. The proposed plan is feasible and desirable, Attached is
a memorandum from Mr. Van Esso which reports a meeting of 2 January
1951 with the Property Survey Board and indicates the concurrence
of that Board and simultaneously with Security that such an accounta-
bility system is practicable and acceptable.
That the recommended increase 0 positions be approved for
the Procurement Office to implement this procedure they will provide
