Approved For Release 1W/09/08: CIA- 9-01153A00Q1 O012.0'2=6-,, ti6p s 2 1 SEP 1967 MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Intelligence SUBJECT Geographic Intelligence Support for DDP Operational Requirements REFERENCE OBGI Memorandum of 31 August 1967, Same Subject (DDI-2870-67) 1. I regret that, contrary to expectations as indicated in referent memorandum, you will not be able to increase your current level of analytical support to the CS. I understand, of course, the necessity for stringent application of manpower restrictions. Lest there be some misunderstanding, however, I wish to express specifically my appreciation for the support rendered to date, and to reaffirm that the various OBGI studies, analyses, and specialist briefings have contributed signifi- cantly to the success of our operational planning. 2. Much of the support OBGI has given us in the past has been in response to priority requirements. We are aware that the deadlines for these requirements invariably have been met even though such rapid reaction has required the shifting of personnel from other projects and considerable overtime. I assure you that, for our part, we will continue to be as realistic as possible in setting these crash deadlines, and will keep you informed of changes in priorities. 3. In the field of longer-range studies and basic research on potentially critical areas--what could properly be called contingency work--there have been understandably long time lags between initial request and eventual delivery. Since there is to be no relief for this situation, we will simply have to live with it and attempt to give you as much forewarning as possible when there is a shift and an area or situation becomes currently critical. 4. As requested in your memorandum, we are reviewing all outstanding OBGI requirements and reassessing current needs. Ezcluslra 4(*i auiamss.
