PRC Action No. DD P-31-62
SUBJECT: Operational Programs of the Clandestine Services
for Fiscal Year 1962 -- Summary Action
1. PURPOSE
To formalize approval of the individual Operational Programs of the
Clandestine Services for Fiscal Year 1962.
2. BACKGROUND
a. PRC Action No. DD/P-12-61, in addition to constituting formal
approval of the FY 1961 Operational Programs of the Clandestine Services,
reflects approval of a DD/P proposal to revise the C.S. Program-Project
System so as to place more emphasis upon the programs (and less upon
isolated projects), as instruments of management and control at the top.
The approved programs would be employed to set limits to freedom of action
down the line while leaving, within those limits, decisions as to details to
the operating levels.
b. the major
operating components of the Clandestine Services concluded advanced planning
for FY 1962, which was then outlined in the drafting of the FY 1962 Annual
Operational Programs.
c. Upon the conclusion of an examination of these. programs for sub-
stance and balance by the DD/P Board of Review and the related revision of
the program presentations, the individual programs were then forwarded to
the Project Review Committee for review and action.
d. Pursuant to the precedent of previous years, this summary of
action by the PRC. has been prepared upon a total DD/P basis. The attached
schedule therefore includes and identifies both those items which were
reviewed by the PRC as well as those which were not a subject of specific
PRC. review.
e. Within the framework of a single basic allotment, under the control
of the DD/P, the initial FY 1962 target allocations of funds have been indicated

for each component. In order to be able to respond to shifts of emphasis, it
may become necessary for the DD/P to revise these initial target allocations,
either by adjustments within the total DD/P allotment, or by the release of
supplemental funds from other sources. Such adjustments are to be the
subject of specific approval, as appropriate.
f. The initial FY 1962 target allocations for program planning for
that portion of DD/P activities and requirements which was not a subject of
specific PRC review is summarized as follows:
(1)
Immediate Office of the DD/P
(2) Senior Staffs
(3) Operational Services (including RI)
(4) Development Projects Division
g. In order to illustrate the total financial magnitude of the DD/P
FY 1962 requirements, as of 1 July 1961, they may be summarized as follows:
(1)
(2)
(3)
Activities specifically reviewed by the
PRC (see attached schedule)
Activities not reviewed by the PRC
(paragraph 2.f. above)
Total DD/P FY 1962 Planned Requirement
h I is to be, noted that the total DD/P FY 196.2 Planned Requirement
25X1A1a of is approximately in excess of the relevant 25X1A1a
25X1A1a Congressional Budget o This "overage" in the planning level
pertains primarily to geographic operational contingencies which are legitimate
candidates for supplemental funds, the precise amounts and sources for which
are to be determined at a later date. The proposal (below) is therefore
25X1A1a designed to authorize advanced planning at the evel, with responsibility
upon the DD/P to contain these activities within t e actual amount of FY 1962
funds to be made available to him for this purpose.
