MEMORANDUM FOR: The Comptroller, CIA
SUBJECT:
2. As a result, I recommend that 18 positions be reallocated
from the FY 76 personnel ceiling to accommodate these needs.
Basically, additional positions are needed to provide necessary
staff for requirements review, planning efforts, special study
groups, and USIB staffing actions in a number of Community
endeavors and in support of the DCI?s leadership role. The need
is as follows:
USIB Committee Staffing
1. At the meeting of USIB Committee Chairmen on
17 June 1975, the DCI indicated the possibility of reprogramming
personnel ceiling allocation from positions being eliminated as
a result of the drawdown in Southeast Asia. In response to his.
suggestion, I have reviewed critical manpower requirements
needed to properly staff the USI]3 Committee structure.
? 5 positions are needed to staff a SIGINT Committee
requirements and validation mechanism
activities
2 positions are needed to monitor Community
security actions including the analysis of the
continuing and serious erosion of highly classified
intelligence through leaks, the study of the
security compartmentation procedures and their
relevant costs, and other Security Committee

3. It is our intention to use existing organizations to the
maximum in dealing with major issues confronting these Committees.
However, we have found that in these days of shrinking resources,
there is an inclination among Community agencies to concentrate
resources on those items of direct and priority concern to the
organization and cut back or forego community efforts of "common
concern. " In the SIGINT arena for instance, the heavy burden
imposed by a large-scale requirements review will no longer be
picked up by the participating agencies, and they look to the DCI
for resource relief. The potential savings from such a review
make it mandatory the staff be provided to conduct it.

4. I am attaching copies of the requirements received from
the Committee Chairmen. You will note that I have reduced
their request by 16 positions. We can provide further detailed
justification on request.

MHORANDtTh FOR: D/DCI/IC
SUBJECT: Staff Manpower Requirements for the SIGINT Requireirente
Validation and Evaluation Subcommittee (SIRVES)
1. The SIGINT Committee will soon propose to the USIB, the
adoption of a new SIGINT requirements mechanism to be designated
the National SIGINT Requirements System (NSRS). The community
focal point for implementing the system will be the SIGINT
Requirements Validation and Evaluation Subcommittee which will
replace the IGS. To execute the vastly enlarged functional
responsibilities of the SIRVES, as compared to those assigned
to the IGS,?the SIRVES will require a permanent staff. In addi-
tion, to the Chairman, the forecasted manpower requirements are -
as follows:
Task Team I - (COMINT)
4 - 05's104's or GS equivalent
Task Team IT - (FLINT)
2 -- 05's/04's or GS equivalent
Task Team III - (Tel_emer
