~~3 Approved For Release 2005/0 3 RDP80M010 A00150013 a Aegist* S(CLA88IFICATION) OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR Action Memorandum No. A-420 27 August 1964 Director/Budget, Programs Analysis and Manpower Substantive Review of the Agency 1. I have just completed careful studies of the Inspector General reports on two research offices, OS1 and ORR. I thought both of these were good IC "ports but noted very specifically that owhere in them did they give any indication as to whether all Of the research being done was needed, all of the publications being printed were required, the quality of the research or the quality of the product produced. In other words, they are good reviews of what is going on without any really searching as to why it in going on or whether it should go on. 2. What this leaves us with is either accepting the unanalyzed recommendations of the Directorates and relying UP011 some consumer reaction, which we know is very little, or devising a system for getting at the substance. It seems to me that this is a responsibility of the Programs Analysis Stall, but I am not eur we are geared up to do it properly. Please let me have your views at your earliest convenience.
