MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: Comments on the Report on Economy Measures,
6 May 19 64
The following respond to your questions concerning the above report.
1. "Are we using Bureau of the Budget and Civil Service
Yes, where they are applicable and appropriate.
2. "Do we have a special manpower utilization committee
working with all departments ? "
There is a Manpower Control Staff in the office of Budget,

works with all components of the Agency analyzing manpower utilization.
It reviews all requests for T/O increases and acts as the control mechanism
in this effort.
3. "What about our aircraft operations? Cost? Necessity?"
This is an area on which we are devoting a considerable
amount of time. We are carefully analyzing all of our aircraft operations,
including the inventory of aircraft owned or controlled by the Agency, and
are working with the components to insure that we have only those planes
which we need. Further, there is an Air Proprietary Committee which
reviews the work of all of our proprietary organizations that handle aircraft.
4. "Commo needs--can they be cut down?"

tailored to the only area in which economies can be achieved, which is need.
I must confess that I am not yet sure of how we achieve a cost consciousness
on the part of the people using communications facilities, and would note
only that the volume of communications consistently rises. We have studied
many methods of control, and perhaps the only answer is to adopt a quota
system.
