the Transition Quarter, and 1977
Executive Peg` trV
1. We have received our funding and manpower allotment level
for FY 1976. With careful management and some restraint, this should
be adequate to carry out all essential activities of your office.
2. The Director has issued explicit instructions concerning
controls which must be exercised by the Executive Secretary in the
expenditure of these resources (reference - Attachment 1). AO/DCI
has been delegated the authority to assure administration of the
budget in accordance with the Director's instructions.
3. Since roughly 90% of our funding requirements are for salaries
and related personal services payments which may not be reprogrammed to
other uses, "flexibility" lies essentially in funds budgeted for travel,
machine rentals, training, contracts, etc. In order to assist each of
us in planning the use of available funds, I am issuing a brief~sumrmrary
financial status report (Attachment 2) of the funds obligated to date
by your office and the monies you have been programmed for these purposes
ninety days in the future. Updated reports will be provided on a monthly
basis throughout the fiscal year. If the level earmarked for your office
during the 90-day period is known to be either in excess of your needs or
insufficient to meet firm requirements, please advise me promptly so
adjustments can be made. In this way I believe the DCI Area can make
the most of its available, albeit somewhat limited resources.

4. There are several points which should be kept in mind through-
out the year:
a. Part-time employees (30 hours or less per week)
are not charged to ceiling but are paid from personal
services monies budgeted for full-time personnel. No
additional money is allocated for payment of part-time
employees. Part-time employment levels are controlled
solely by the availability of funds. Consequently, if
personal services funds should become scarce some cut-
back in part-time employment may be required. This
however is not foreseen at this time.
b. Travel costs continue to escalate.. 0MB
guidance cautioning restraint in approval of official
travel is consistent with funding available for this
purpose this year.
c. The Director has established certain proce-
dures governing approval of the initiation of programs
and projects not dealt with specifically in the program/
budget approval process. These include reprogrammings
d. The Director further enjoins all offices to
give particular attention to providing assignment
opportunities in the DCI Area for qualified junior
professionals, to the separation of lowest quality
performers and to the employment of members of
minority groups at upper professional levels.
5. Our financial position in FY 1976 is sound. However, funds
are not inexhaustible. With advance planning, the availability of
funds for necessary expenditures can be assured.
