Chief, Budget Division
Financial Support of the NIS Program
Fiscal Year 1949
Reference is made to your verbal request for a review of cor-
respondence on this subject and for additional recommendations to be
furnished the Executive for Administration and Management based upon
information supplied by the Assistant Director, Office of Reports and
Estimates, in reply to specific questions raised by the Executive, for
Administration and Management.
We find that an item of w25,000 was actually included in the
original fiscal year 1949 budg t " cover research projects fcr the 25X1A
Office of Reports and Estimate
item of $25,000 was overlooked when we reviewed ORE's request for
the $600,000 because it was inadvertently transferred to the Refer-
ence Center at the time the Reference Center requirements were trans-
ferred from ORE to Executive for A & M.
After making allowances for this oversight and reviewing the
specific replies by the Assistant Director, ORE, to the specific ques-
tions submitted by the Executive for A & M in his memorandum of 10.
March 1948, we still feel that CIA can absorb the NIS program increases
up to the amount of 4302,000 that may be required either from ORE's o,=
lapses or savings of other agency organizational units for the reason
you have already given the Executive for A & M; that is, "inability of
CIA organizational unfits to get their programs fully developed as
estimated".
In connection with any new requests that might be made by other
agencies for an underwriting of joint projects entirely by CIA, the
Budget Division an recommend that these requests be judged on their
own merits in-e4 -ing the amount of funds available at the time such
requests are submitted.
