Action Memorandum No. A434
Date 13 December 1963
I. You have already memoranda which I have
distributed to the other Directo s coacarning the redaction of require-
ments placed an the support units. I intend to pursue the objectives
in those memoranda vigorously end insure that the support burdens
are reduced even if it Ls necessary to institute arbitrary ceilings. In the
meantime I believe that it would be profitable if you and I worked on an
approach from the opposite direction by reviewing those activities that can
be reduced or stopped because they are either of limited utility or provide
a service which can be abandoned without major consequence on the
operations.
Z. With this in mind I am therefore suggesting that in your
review on possibly cutting back manpower and budget lorvels to FY '63 the
following possibilitiee be examined.
a. In the Logistics area I wonder whether we are not
stockpiling or warehousing items which no longer have high priority for
Agency usage and which individuals should not be asked to obtain for them-
selves. I think we ought to examine our transportation services most care-
fully both in headquarters and in the field with a goal of cutting back the
number of vehicle*, both official and personal. I wonder also whether we
can't effect economies in the operations of our buildings; while this may not
be a direct cost on us, it might 1141VirthelOSS help GSA in its cutback which
I assume will be just as drastic as ours.

b. In the T nazis* otos I aro still deeply concerned over
the fact Seat training is not only *se by OTP but by just about every
Cloesies Ices component, both b. headquarters and ia the field. I wish
roe'verid .view this matter with the b1D/P and see if we cannot effect
econeissiw by centralisation ;tad consolidation. If the DD/P feels that this is
irnpractiCal eir prefers to have it done en a specialised basis by their units,
then I think the satire area el agent training should be turned over to them.
it am sending a copy of this subparagraph to the DD/P. )
3. / have directed mein rand* of a similar nature to the ether
Directorates, and would appreciate a response by 15 January.
