DMES OF STAFF MEETING
A17MINTSTEATIVr, STAFF CRY'S
9 February 1953
1. Colonel White requested that he be given special reminders of the time
and the subject of Presentations scheduled by the various offices, in that he
wants to attend if possible.
p. Colonel White spoke at some length on the problem of Agency Regulations
and the progress that is being made in their revision. Be pointed out that many
of the problems faced by Administration result from inadequate Regulations and
said that so far as possible the new or revised Regulations would give 4gency
policy in as much detail as. possible. He pointed out also that the most crying
need is in the Field where our people are getting along either with no Regulations
or with Regulations quite out of date.
Because of the great need for Regulations, Colonel White sized the
importance of all possible speed in getting them written, coordinated, and pub-
lished.. In this connection, he stated that outlines for regulatory revisions
had not yet been received from Personnel, Medical, Organization and Methods, and
Commmunicationsa He requested that these and all office heads give their personal
attention to the revision of the Regulations. In particular three schedules for
completion of Regulations indicate the need for some personal attention, i.e.,
Procurement is scheduled for completion by 1 July, the Comptroller by 9 July,
and General Services by 14 July. It vould seem likely that these schedules could
be speeded up.
As in the case of the coordination of Administrative Plans, the prin-
ciple of competent representation of each office should be applied in the
revision of Regulations. The representative of the office should have the
authority and the ability to act for his office in regulatory matters.
Colonel White pointed out that policy agreement should be sufficient
and that regulatory drafts should not be held up for editorial minutiae. It
was recognized that there may be some duplication in the rush of getting the
Regulations out, but we should not be overconcerned with duplication so long
as there is no real conflict of policy.
3. Mr. Wolf and Colonel White spoke on the subject of the budget review
for the balance of Fiscal Year 1953 and for Fiscal Year 1954. It was explained
that detailed budget revisions would not be made because for the last one or
two years the Agency has been involved in the very procedures envisioned by
the memorandum from the Director of the Budget, but that the DCI would certify
that the budget presented would represent the essential requirements of the
Agency, recognizing, however, that the pecularities of our business require a
flexibility uncommon to most agencies. Specifically, the Comptroller is pre-
paring an outline of the material he needs to supply to the Director, and no
reports will be made by the individual offices to the Comptroller until he has
made his requests. The final result will be that the three Deputies the Assist-
