A "REAL.IGiv.iv ENJ' O H PERSOT~I VEI, POSITIONS'' (p36 - TAB C).
IN EXISTENCE AT THE TIME EO 11905 WAS ISSUED (TAB D).
? IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OVERALL MANNING WILL GO EVEN LOWER

[NOTE: IF THE QUESTION OF GETT LNG THE rR,.EQUESTED ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES FROM CTA COMES UP, FHE RESPONSE COULD BE THAT
MANY OF THE ADDED POSITIONS ARE R1QUII'ED BECAUSE OF
PHYSICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL S PARATION. THE QUESTION OF
INTEGRATING THE NSC AND DEFENSE CFI RELATED STAFF WITH
THE IC STAFF NEVER HAS BEEN AIRED. ]
[NOTE: IF DEFENSE AND NSC SUCCEED IN THWARTING THE CFI
MOVE TO BACK THE HOUSE POSITION, IT WILL GIVE THE HOUSE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO DECLARE TIE CFI INEFFECTIVE AND
ABOLISH IT. ]
