A through. F.
1. 1 have reviewed the staff papers and recommendations
(Reference) pertaining to the establishment of specific levels of
recruitment and entrance-on-duty of now employees in the Offices
of Research and Reports, Current Intelligence and Central Reference.
Although I agree in principle with the conclusions set forth in these
documents, the Agency is operating under the Director's instruction
to reduce on-duty strength levels as well ass authorized strength
levels in both FT 1965 and FY 1966. In order to achieve these
levels, ceilings must be understood and accepted to mean the
maxbnuro number of personnel authorized to be employed at any
given time. Therefore, planned reductions in on-duty strength
must focus upon achievLng FY 1966 strength levels early in FY 1966
and not by the end of that fiscal year.
e . I appreciate the fact that flexibility must be maintained
in order to meet the seasonal availability of recruits, security
processing and overseas reassignment requirements. The Director
of Personnel has the authority to process personnel actions with
due consideration to the unique problems: faced by each component.
It is both inadvisable and unnecessary for me to approve specific
levels or authorizations for recruitment or entrance .on-duty over
an extended period of time. These can and should be coordinated,
developed and implemented with the Director of Personnel. He is
charged with the responsibility to control and review these activities

on a continuous basis within the framework of current and future
.po,=per authorizations and requirements. If temporary adjustment
or flexibility is necessary to avoid a serious decline in on-duty
strength, the Director of Personnel can take action to respond to
type of situation witIvout the authorization of specific recruitment
level* from my office.
. It is suggested that you develop, in agreement with the
Director of Personnel, the required recruitment and entrance
duty levels necessary to avoid the, development of an unmanageable
gap between on-duty and authorized strength in both i iscai Years
1965 and 1966 or an =acceptable imbalance between clerical and
professional peerse .eel. In this way we should be able to assure
compliance with the Director's decisions to reduce to authorized
everts not be some arbitrary date in the Tutu
quickly as possible, consistent with the effective performance of
the priority tasks of the Agency and each of its components.
