MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, SIGINT Committee
SUBJECT . Reduction in SIGINT Reporting
REFERENCES (a) NSACSS Message DTG 270024Z, April 1974,
Reduction of SIGINT Reporting
(b) NSACSS Message DTG 040118Z, May 1974,
Cryptologic Mission Reductions.
1. As a result of manpower reductions in the Consolidated
Cryptologic Program (CCP), the Director, National Security Agency has
proposed SIGINT reporting decrements as outlined in the references.
The decrements affect SIGINT customers in several Agencies and
Departments. Consequently, it is necessary to assess the impact of
NSA's proposed changes on the total community, including Operating
consumers. Therefore, I request the SIGINT Committee review
SIGINT reporting decrements proposed by NSA.
2. Your review should include, among other things, a critical
look at the basic requirements now being responded to by reports
proposed for elimination. Should you find, in the course of the review,
that trade-offs are appropriate, I am sure the DIRNSA would welcome
the identification of other reports which may be eliminated.
3. It would be helpful if the Committee would accomplish the
review as a matter of urgency in order that your report and _recom-
mendations may be acted on by the U~TR At /anl Pnr1v c1AfP _ /
