one component will be coordinated by a task force chaired by the Chief,
ID/A. Plans Staff. Those parts of the Director's memorandum affecting
your. , . Office are
8. In paragraph one I noted the need to cbntinue seeking
opportunities to effect further savings in funds and positions.
You will have your own ideas about how you might approach this
problem but there are a number of areas where l 'believe atten-
tion will prove rewarding. You are`requestefl to consider and
submit recommendations by the dates indicated:
"c. Accelerating the development of methods to
identify the costs of services furnished to Agency
compornents; and expanding that effort to include a
systematic study of all areas of activity where
modification of`the way we budget for goods and
-.services might focus managerial responsibility
more sharply on the allocation of resources.
Such a study should bear in mind the cost/benefit
tradeoffs, and should stop short of developing
systems which would cost more to administer than
their implementation might save. 31 December 1974"
3. Please be mindful of any deadlines in your requirements. Your
Planning Office will be contacted regarding the establishment of a multi
Office task force to work on those problems affecting both your Office
_
and other components..'.
