1. As you know, the Agency has hoes tinder continuing pressure
to save esoLlara and manpower through improved nianag and
administrative practices. Good progress has been made within the
Agency. We have new reached the stage where we may profitably COW*
sictor whether improvements may ale* be made in CIA's internal facilities.
1. I am therefore appoiciliti at my office to chair
force to review the adm1xistr*tiv. procedures and management
of same of our larger proprietary proiects. I am also asking
each addressee to designate one full-time representative to serve on
the task force, which should complete its work in 40 to 90 days. Since
several of the proprietaries to be examined are administered by the
Covert Action Staff, 1 ithosid prefer that the DD/P member of the task
force be Qrawa from another part of the Directorate for Plans.
3. The findings and recommendations of the task force wiU be
addressed primarily to admiMstrative, budgetary and manpower controls
ant will take into account both the current and anticipated requirsvnents
for covert action and the importance of granting appropriate discretion-
ary to the overt rnanagernent of proprietaries. Actual operations
wUl be reviewed from the standpoint of their impact on economy and con-
trol of money and manpower.
