My dear General Vandenbergt
Your estimates of requirements for...the fiscal year 194B
and the tnfermation presented by your representatives from the
Central Intelligenoe Group have been given careful analysis,
The President has approved the budgets of the Departments of
State, War and Navy, which provide a total amount for the Central
Intelligence Group of This amount will be furnished
by the Departments in the ratio recommended by the CIG Budget
Review Board on September 30, 1946.
Members of my staff will comMunicate to your budget officer
the details and texts relating to the above amounts as they are
reflected in the various appropriation estimates.
The President has asked as to remind you that the estimates
he transmits to Congress reflect the program for the executive
branch as a whole and are the only estimates to be supported
before congressional committees. A oopy of his memorandum is

MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR OF THE BUREAU OF THE BUDGET
I have noticed that on several occasions certain department
and agency officials have shown a tendency to seek from Congress
larger appropriations than were contemplated in official budget
estimates.
The estimates which I transmit to Congress reflect a balanced
program for the executive branch as a whole, and each individual
estimate is oonsidered in the light of this program, its relation-
ship to other estimates, and the fiscal position of the Government.
While agency witnesses before congressional committees must feel
free to supply facts in answer to questions of committee members,
I cannot condone the practice of seizing upon any opportunity
which presents itself to indicate an opinion, either directly or
indirectly, that my estimates are insufficient.
When you notify the heads of the various departments and
agenciee of the amounts to be included in the 1948 Budget for
their activities I wish you would include a reminder that I
shall expect them ; and their subordinates to support ? he
President's estimates in hearings and discussion members
of Congress.

Sirs
In acoordanoe with the Presidential directive of 22 January
1946, the National Intelligence Authority has, through a series of di-
rectives to the Director of Central Intelligence, established over-all
policies for foreign intelligence activities related to the national
security, and has directed that the Central Intelligence Group engage
in certain centralised intelligence activities which are of common in-
terest to the Departments herein concerned. To implement properly the
wishes of the President, the National Intelligence Authority has found
it necessary to provide the Director of Central Intelligence with ad-
ministrative and operational facilities which involve expenditure of
funds and furnishing of personnel and equipment. These facilities have
teen supplied in varying proportions by the State Department, War De-
partment, and Amy Department. This threefold method of supply has
become so cumbersome as to impair seriously the administration of the
Central Intelligence Group, and is booming an important threat to the
security of its operations.
We desire, therefore, under the provisions of Section 214 of
the Independent Offices Appropriation Ant, 1946, to make available to'
the Central Intelligence Group, from the appropriations of the three
Departments mentioned, amounts authorised by Congress for the support
of intelligence activities and such other funds as it is in our die-
oration to use for this purpose. To administer these funds, it is pro-
1417:to establish a special working fund, as provided for in Section
f the Act of June 30, 1932 (47 Stat. 417). This fund will be, for
record purposes, in the War Department, but, with the approval of the
Secretary of War, its administration and fiscal supervision will be
solely by officers of the Central Intelligence Group. Upon the +natal-
lishment of such &working fund, it is proposed, in addition to commit-
ting such funds of our respective Departments for administration by the
Central Intelligence Group, to delegate to the Director of Central In-
telligence or his authorised representatives the necessary authorities
for the administration of those funds, for personnel actions, for

114 therefore request, on behalf of the Departments we rep-
resent and in our capacity as members of the National Intelligence
Authority, that you establish such a working find under the provisions
of Section 601 of the Act of JUne 30, 1932 (47 Stat. 417). All offi-
