It is believed that the Logistics Office can and should offer invaluable assist-
ance in the preparation of this report. From the viewpoint of Government and CIA
interest, it is recommended that detailed meetings be conducted within the Logistics
Office and the position of the Logistics Office be established. Determination
should be made as to the control, distribution, and procurement of materiel during
hot war operations.
3. Other Items of Interest
a. Allocation. of Funds for Operational Account 6807 - (continued item)
Attended meeting with the Deputy Comptroller to discuss problems pre-
sently encountered by the Comptroller in securing funds from various Staffs,
Offices, and Divisions in CIA which will be allotted to stock account 6807. It
appears that when. the centralized procurement concept was placed into effect on
1 Nay 1953, the Comptroller failed to notify or properly brief the Staffs, Offices,
and. Divisions affected. Therefore, concern has been. expressed. by FBID and some
Operating Divisions as to what happens to their funds when. placed into this
account. As an. interim measure, it was agreed that the Comptroller would indi-
cate to the Logistics Office the amounts of money by quarter allotted to stock
account 6807 by Staffs, Offices, and. Divisions. It was further agreed that the
Logistics Office would furnish the Comptroller a listing of the amounts obligated_
by Staffs, Offices, and Divisions on. a thirty-day basis. It is believed that
this will satisfy each office concerned that they are getting their money's worth.
It is recognized. that this is an interim procedure and will be discontinued, in a
few months. Meetings were conducted with the Budget Officer and Supply Division
personnel to establish the Logistics Office responsibility. 50X1
