24 JUL 196.1
MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director (Support)
1. Our discussion of 18 July reflects clearly the fact.
that the Agency on-duty strength during FY 1964 will exceed our
current approved Average Employment and the FY 1964 year-end
strength level established by the Bureau of the Budget.
Z. Although the FY 1964 Agency "ceiling" has been
established at 0 we are compelled to justify to the Bureau of
the Budget any change in Agency plans which would materially affect
a change in the year-end strength figure ofi Funds are
presentl available which will permit an Agency-wi a FY 1964 A.E.
of In view of the pipeline of already recruited and in process
personne , Agency strength can be allowed to increase in the first
quarter up to (September 30); but it must drop to by
December 31; at the end of March 1964; and by
30 June 1964.
3. We are undertaking a review of personnel increases,
proposed or actual, in the Agency in FY 1963, FY 1964, and FY 1965
with a view to securing as promptly as possible, a firm policy determi-
nation establishing personnel levels for the Agency through FY 1965.
This will provide guidance for recruiting activity and permit the
establishment of effective controls over the entry on duty of new
personnel. I believe that our review will result in a recommendation
to the DDCI to revert to a higher ceiling probably at the original level
of for FY 1964 (with some appropriate figure for Average
Employment) and a slightly higher level for FY 1965. We will attempt
to obtain a definitive decision on these levels prior to 1 September 1963.

4. In the meantime, I believe that we should take interim
action along the following lines:
b. Controls should be established to ensure that the
net increase occasioned by the accession of new personnel
over attrition losses does not exceed these ceilings.
c. Flexibility should be maintained in the exercise of
these controls which should discriminate in favor of
admission of candidates in priority categories particularly
JOTs (the full complement of which should be admitted)
and persons with professional or technical qualifications
for essential positions in NPIC, the Office of Communications
and the DD/R.
d. A review should be initiated to establish the
legitimacy of vacancies against which recruitment has
been authorized.

e. Temporary authority to exceed an individual
ceiling should be established at some appropriate level,
presumably the DDCI.
5. Even assuming that we are successful in securing
authority to recruit to the level of the ceiling originally contemplated,
it seems to me that some retrenchment in our recruitment effort and
in the resources committed to this effort is in order. I share with
you an extreme reluctance to do anything which might impair thegood
relations which have been developed with Universities and other sources
of recruits over the past year. I would also like to take this occasion
to express my admiration for the exemplary job done by' the Office of
in developing _
h
fact
e
--- -
these relations and mobilizing these resources.
however, that the recruitment rate, if continued, is likely to exceed
our digestive capacity, and I think we can cut back without compromising
our contacts or discrediting our image.
6. Quite obviously, controls will continue to be necessary
even though we succeed in our efforts to obtain some relaxation in the
existing ceiling. I fear that the personnel requirements of the Agency
are going to exceed fund allowances and other limitations for some time
to come. Accordingly, the experience gained by the introduction of
some measures along the lines here proposed should prove useful over
the long haul.
