STAT MEMORANDUM FOR:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
1 5 JAN 1979
Agency
1. I would like to begin to understand our/organization a little
~ ~t~~'
bit better. Could you put together a not~``that I could keep in my desk which
takes each box on the chart under my desk pad and breaks it down into its
immediate subcomponent. For instance, the other day when I went to OWI
I find they are divided into five different groups. I would like to have
the names of those groups; the names, age and educational background of
the head of each group and,if he has one, his deputy also. In short, I
would like to,in the most C~~'"~'~orm you can do it, expand the appropriate
boxes on the basic chart one more level. Include with each subcomponent
its initials from our guide of acronyms.
