MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security
SUBJECT Possible Reorganization of the
Executive Staff
1. The Deputy Director for Support has offered his
views on certain organizational management problems in the
Office of Security. There was the following statement
relating to the Administration and Training Staff and the
Executive Staff:
"The Administration and Training Staff has
25X9 clerical positions.
25X9 The Executive Staff has - professionals and
- clericals. It would seem that some savings
in both clerical and professional positions could
be realized from a combination of these two staffs;
25X9 particularly the Executive and Planning Division of
the Executive Staff and professional and_ 25X9
clerical positions would seem to fit better with
the Administration and Training Staff."
2. This is to advise that there is certainly some 5X1A
merit to the proposal. Even before the departure of
there were subtle hints that , a 25X1A
Career Security Officer, might replace who 25X1A
was anxious for an overseas assignment. At other times there
were inquiries as to the "distinction" between functions of
A&TS and EPD. I also discussed this with and as 25X1A
25X1A of November 1972 I asked to prepare a rough
estimate as to the number o man-hours that Executive and
Planning Division devotes to "joint" projects which are of
direct interest to Chief, Administration and Training Staff.
The following estimate was submitted:

3. In my memorandum to you on 19 December 1972, a
copy of which is attached, I touched upon this issue and
made the following comment in paragraph 3:
"The mission of the Executive and Planning
Division is to serve as a policy and planning
component of the Office of Security in security
matters which transcend specific organization
components. On the basis of my experience in
the Execltive Staff ; t h
ti
as
ecome
position papers that are of direct concern or
interest to the Deputy Director of Security or
the Chief, Administration and Training Staff.
There is a rather close working relationship
with ACTS on 'planning papers' wherein EPD pulls
together supporting reports from all elements of
the Office of Security, whereas A&TS addresses
the 'personnel and money' aspects of the problem.
Some overlap and confusion does exist."
4. In my late December meeting with the Inspector
General Team, the question was again raised as to the dis-
tinction between responsibilities of A$TS and EPD. Team
members appeared to be well briefed on this issue:,

isTttle oubt ffiat they will pursue the siuation during
their survey of these two units; and I feel sure that some-
thing will be included on it in their final report.
5. In my memorandum of 19 December 1972, I offered
as one option that you "transfer the responsibilities of
EPD to Chief, A&TS, and have the Executive Officer concen-
trate his efforts on the problems of the Special Security
Center." It strikes me that the new DCI team of managers

will be following much more closely all large security
programs, objectives, goals, "big signals" and costs.
In substance, I recommend that you go along with the
transfer of EPD to A&TS so that one Office of Security
component is basically responsible for managing this
entire package.
