Approved For Reuse 2001/08/08 : CIA- "N-1 154A0N100050010-4 MEMORANDUM To t INR/OD - Ray S. Cline From t INR/DDC - Wymberley DeR Coerr Subjects Geographic Attach Program On January 20, 1971, Bill McAfee and Arthur Burt met in ny office to discuss with me the recent developments in the matter of the Geographic Attache pro- gram. At that time it was decided that Art Burt would informally determine, among the partidipating agencies, the extent to which position and financial support might be forthcoming. The program currently operates with eight Geographic Attaches, and the above possibilities would be planned so that that number would not be exceeded. Ile has also met with DOD officials and they plan to con- sult with General Bennett, Director of DIA, on the course of action which they may be able to take. The plan of assignment of Geographic Attaches which we would like to implement is as follows: Positions based Overseas Positions based in Washin ton 1. New Delhi 1. Latin America 2. Nairobi 2. Northern Europe ,3. Tehran 3. Western Europe k. Tokyo 4.

We feel that State should provide at least three overseass, positions, since the program, at the beginning of BALPA, had ten positions. This would represent a 0% field cut. 25X1 C Approved For Release 2001/08/08 : CIA-RDP79-01154A000100050010-4
