1. Due to the increased responsibilities placed upon the
Office, an internal reorganization of the 0/SI Staff is essential

the necessary staff to carry out these increased responsi-
bilities.

all 0/SI staff activities.

management matters in a General Services Staff thus re-
lieving the Operations and Production Staffs as well as the

ferring its functions to the Operations, Production, and
General Services Staffs with each of these Staffs responsi-
ble for planning and policy guidance in their staff specialty.
e. Changes in names of certain branches within the
staff groups.

Director and Staff activities is shown in Tab A.
