From : State Member, Cost Estimates Committee -
Earl W. S. Churchill, State/INR
Subject: Revision of 1959 Report on Foreign Intelligence Costs
Submitted to USIB on June 21, 1960
In meeting of the Cost Estimates Committee held June 30 to
consider appropriate action relative to USIB comments on subject
report submitted to the USIB on June 21, 1960, it was determined that
CIA would submit cost data on "auxiliary activity" items and that
State, Air Force, and Navy would submit appropriate explanatory
footnotes in lieu of "auxiliary activity" costs. Accordingly, the
following paragraphs are submitted for inclusion in revised report
for the USIB:
"State's estimate of costs consists of (1) portions of state's
Salaries and Expenses Appropriation and (2) support funds received
from CIA. All of the Foreign Service overseas olitical and economic
activities (plus a share of overhead activities are included, and
the overseas consular activity excluded. Costs of the Bureau of
Intelligence and Research (plus a share of Departmental overhead
activities) comprise the included portion of the Department's
domestic operation.
"The auxiliary items of Administration, Training, Communications,
Security, Research, etc., are not segregated because costs of these
items cannot be meaningfully related to State's "foreign intelligence'"
operation. That is, no meaningful proration of "training" costs,-for
example, can be determined as specifically applicable to "foreign
intelligence" as separate and apart from other or regular Foreign
Service operations. Further, overseas costs for such items as
"translation," "printing and reproduction," e ., in addition to being
meaningless when related to "intelligence," ld be develop 1. only on
Doounlent No.
