EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND D'iDGET'
April 28, 1978
Admiral Stansfield Turner
Director of Central Intelligence
Washington, D. C. 20505
Dear Admiral Turner:
yTY
`ley'
OLC #7&
The President has approved your proposed reprogramming of personnel
and resources in 1978 and your proposed 1979 budget amendment to provide
for the increased responsibilities assigned to you under Executive
Order 12036. I have, in the enclosed letter, requested consideration
of these proposed actions by the appropriate committees of the Congress;
I trust they will take prompt and favorable action to accommodate
to your increased responsibilities.
Your staff has been extremely helpful in providing details on the
sources of both the funds and positions as well as on the proposed
funding and staffing of the Resource Management and Collection Tasking
staffs. In approving this request, our staffs have mutually agreed
that the positions to be eliminated and the new positions to be created
will be at comparable grade levels and that the current authorizations
for National Foreign Intelligence Program supergrade and Executive
Pay level positions will not be increased. Given the current exceed-
ingly high grade structure in both the Intelligence Community Staff
and the Central Intelligence Agency, I would anticipate no difficulty
in remaining within these limits. I trust you will give this matter
yuu;: personal atte ition.
Sincerely,
W. Bowman Cutter
Executive Associate Director
for Budget
