As we are all aware. the CIA is lacing constantly increasing demands
for its intelligence services while at the annie time there are strong pressures
to hold the line on expenditure.. This dilemma is made more acute by the
need to develop and operate expensive technical intelligence systems in
order to keep pace with modern intelligence targets, methods and tradecraft.
and by the newt to maintain and improve the more traditional iatelligence
program. during a period of escalating costs and complex internationel
relations.
Z. Dee pits the tight money and personeel situation which nowexists,
it will of course still be possible to undertake new high priority intelligence
programs and to obtain budgetary approvals for expindlng and improving
existing programs. Hever, it will be necessary to absorb the costs of
many new and augmented programs through the discontinuance of low
priority and marginally productive programs and through econorrqc of
operations.

3. The Agency's ability to accommodate this difficult *Matti**
depend upon the ability of operating officials to carry forth only those programsM
which are essential to the achievement of important objectives and.ia carrying
out these programs, to make sure that all possible econotnies are realised.
In the preparatioa of the FT 1967 budgets and in the submission of long-range
(five year) program plans to the Bureau of the Budget. it is essential that these
considerations remain paramount.

4. I have recently requested the Executive Director-Comptroller to
prepare a CM Long Range Intelligence Plan to express the long-term
objectives of intelligence and the foreign intelligence capabilities which
should be in existence ten years from now. The first five years of this plan
will be expressed separately, by fiscal year, to order to hrle11 Into sharp
focus the programs and activities required to develop the capabilities
necessary to meet long-term objectives. This Long Range Intelligence Plan
will be carefully exandned and coordinated to insure adequate coverage of
high priority objectives, to reduce ennacessary duplication and to eliminate
lesser priority and obsolescent activities.
S. The MIMS general philosephy must apply to the Agency's Operating
udget for FT 1966 which is now being studied. In its present stage it exceeds
the amount requested of the Congress (and not yet approved) by approximately
Considerable adjastment dm/award based on program priorities
will be necessary before en apportionment request is sent to the Bureau of
the fitadget. At my direction the Office of budget, Program Analysis and
Manpower is conducting a critical review of all requests for FY 1966.
