1. As we are all aware, the CIA is facing conat .ntly increasing demands
for its. intelligence services while at the same time there are strong pressures
to hold the line on expenditures. This dilemma is made more acute by the M
need to develop and operate expensive technical intelligence systems in
order to keep pace with modern intelligence targets methods and tradecra
and by the need to maintain and improve the more traditional intelligence
programs during a period of escalating costs and complex International
relations.
2. Despite the tight money .and personnel situation which now exists,,
itwvill of course still be possible to undertake new high priority intelligence
programs and to obtain budgetary approvals for expanding and improving
existing programs. However, it will be necessary to absorb the costs of
many new and augmented programs through the discontinuance of low
priority and marginally productive programs and through economy of
operations.
3. The Agency's ability to accommodate this difficult situation wit
depend upon the ability of operating officials to carry forth only those programs
which are essential to the achievement of important objectives and,in carrying
out these programs, to make sure that all possible economies are realix>ed.
In the preparation of the FY 197 budgets and in the submission of long-range
(five year) program plans to the Bureau of the Budget, It Is essential that these
considerations remain paramount.
