MEMORA11IDUM FOR: Executive Director-Comptroller ZAWc,.?'
SUBJECT Submission of Certain Activities for
DDCI Approval
1. This memorandum submits a recommendation for your approval;
such recommendation is contained in paragraph 5.
2. Attached are two memoranda which we believe are appropriate
and necessary follow-ons to the implementation of the revised
regulation on the Approvals System (
3. The first memorandum deals with review and approval procedures
for the Agency's Research and Development activities, and is directed
to all four of the Deputy Directors since each has an R&D function
within his command. The memorandum requires that R&D programs be
prepared and reviewed in concert with the Operating Budget, but also
directs that certain activities ("projects") within the programs be
broken out and submitted in detail for separate DDCI consideration.
Ile estimate that with a "threshold" of $150,000 some two dozen new
R&D projects would be surfaced annually. This would seem a reasonable
figure to test the efficacy of the system.
4. The second memorandum deals with the non-R&D activities of
the Science and Technology Area, and insures that in this dynamic new
organization there will be proper checks and balances and a timely
flow of information to top Agency management.
5. Both memoranda have been coordinated with appropriate officers
of the four Directorates. Your signature, or that of General Carter,
is recommended.
