MEMO FOR: James Taylor, Comptroller
A/DDCI
SUBJECT : Recent Accomplishments Paper
A few additional thoughts on the attached:
a) DDCI, following his confirmation by the Senate, has
established himself in his role as the Agency's day-to-day
manager.
b) A negative point. To suggest that personnel changes
are an "accomplishment" raises two problems:
1) Gildin the lily. After all, I land
retired and somehow they had to e
replaced.
2) Demeaning Predecessors. Aren't we implying that
th team, for example, is better than the
team. Whether true or not (probably a matter
of opinion), to list such replacements as accomplishments
could seem offensive to the previous incumbents.
c) We have, at least on a private basis, regained the
confidence of the Senate. (Incidentally, the title'of the
new Committee does not include the word "Oversight.") Cf. Gary
Hart's request to DDCI for a TV interview.

SUBJECT : Recent Accomplishments
Mr. Knoche asked for a list of our accomplishments
over the last few weeks. Listed below are some of them.
Can you ad'i to or refine this list? I would appreciate
an answer back by the end of the week.
1) We have established the Executive Advisory
Group (EAG). Five meetings have been held dealing
with the functions of the EAG itself, the proposed
reorganization of ORD, the IG function, goals for
CIA, and Agency R&D programs. These meetings resulted
in agreements on terms of reference for the EAG,
a decision to proceed with a new-approach to the
IG function, and a decision to continue the present
organizational arrangements under which ORD conducts
exploratory research.
2) A number of important personnel changes
have been made. These include new appointments to
the positions of DDS&T and ADDS&T, DDO and ADDO,

these will in the future operate under the general
direction of Mr. Knoche and the EAG.

steps to improve our ability to deal with the CFI

of issue studies and actions arising out of the
1978 Program Review.
