ACTION MEMORANDUM
OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
Action Memorandum No. A - 15
Date 25 May 1962
TO Mr. Elder
SUBJECT Receipt of Memoranda in the DCI's Office
REFERENCE:
1. I am quite concerned of the fact that documents are still reaching the
Director that have not been processed through the Executive Registry, and other
documents of direct concern to both the DDCI and myself reach the DCI prior to
passing through us. I further note that on occasion things are raised with the
DCI which can either be settled at my level or General Carter's level. Unless
these are corrected, the present organizational setup will not work properly.
2. As you know, the way the system should work is that you should be
the direct recipient of all informational items for the advice and guidance of
the Director. This would include responses to his requests, as well as the
regular flow of material. In the event that his requests include matters of
organization or activities of the Agency, I should like to be informed at the
time of the request and have the option of responding directly. One of us
should also see that the DDCI, as General Manager of the Agency, is also
advised.
3. I consider it as being my responsibility to advise the DCI and DDCI
of all matters on the organization and activities of the Agency.
4. Would you please insure that any items handcarried to your office are
logged in the Executive Registry, and if necessary called to the attention of the
DDCI and myself, and if on organization or activities processed through our
offices. I would like to educate all of the components of the Agency to the fact
~ 1,bipn MVests should flow in this manner.
