THE WHITE HOUSE t\.lvA,a
S E P 1 1974
As one of my first undertakings in the Presidency, I have
reviewed your accomplishments for the past year and the
objectives you have set for the current fiscal year.
I ,commend you on your 1974 results and strongly endorse
your new plans. The objectives you have set for your
agency are both challenging and important, and I am looking
forward to meeting with you soon to further discuss them and
to meet with you and your key staff periodically to review
your progress.
As you know, I am looking to you to assume the maximum
degree of responsibility in operating your agency. I am
pleased in this regard that we have a common understanding
of the course you will follow and am confident that your
important efforts will deliver the public service that the
American people deserve.
With warmest personal regards,
The Honorable William E. Colby
