MEMORANDUM FOR Acting Director of Logistics
SUBJECT : Request for Summary Report of Procurement
Highlights in 1964
25X1A9a 1. Following briefing a few days ago on 1964 procure-
25X1 A9a ment, decided to send up a short summary to General Carter.
He has in mind a rather informal report, suggesting that General Carter
would be interested in the highlights of procurement in 1964 and giving
25X1 A9a some of the more important data which pointed out in the
briefing. He mentioned the surplus procurement, total amount of procure-
ment, the sharp increase in incentive contracting, reduction in cost, and
finally, that in using the McNamara procedures we would seem to be at
least doing as well as the Defense Department.
2. This is not intended to establish the requirements for a short summary
25X1 A9a report, hopefully about one page. may well identify other more
important highlights. I am sorry that we did not take extensive notes on the
briefing and, therefore, cannot be very specific now; but I think all of the
highlights are contained in the written material and charts used in the brief-
ing.
3. Will you please give us a short summary report for DD/S signature
to DDCI.
