Honorable Richard Helms
Director of Central Intelligence
Washington, D. C. 20505
President Nixon, in a message to his cabinet and key personnel, said, "I think
each Department should consider giving annual awards to individuals in the
Department who came up with workable ideas for savings in personnel, paperwork,
program duplication, etc." This interest was reinforced by the President's
support of the project to improve Federal reporting and reduce related paper-
work.
We are, therefore, pleased to announce the eighth in a series of annual awards
for outstanding leadership and professional excellence in promoting effective
management of paperwork in the Federal Government. This year, the Association
of Records Executives and Administrators is again providing sponsorship for this
awards program.
During the last seven years Federal Agencies have nominated 134 men and women for
their paperwork management efforts. Each of these received national recognition;
44 were given special awards. This year the Association hopes that participation
by Federal Agencies will continue to grow. We sincerely believe that the awards
program is a most important means for directing attention to one of management's
most critical problems -- paperwork.
Last year Mr. Reid M. Denis, your nominee, was one of five who received special
recognition. His contributions were impressive and indicate what can be accon plish
by dedicated officials in a responsive management environment. We hope that you
will,have a nominee again this year.
Details concerning the awards are contained.in the enclosure. Additional copies
will be sent under separate cover to your personnel officer. We will be pleased
to answer any questions you may have concerning the award.
Sincerely,
DUDLEY
President

ship, ingenuity, and professional excellence in designing, promoting, or

of information and records management activities involved in the creation,

Paperwork, in its broadest sense, is an integral part of every procedure and
system. It is the basic administrative support medium for written coirmiunica-
tions and the flow of management information. From the operating system
proceeds the management practice of channeling and controlling paperwork
so that it contributes to the realization of organizational goals and
objectives, Automation, in its many aspects, is a most important considera-
tion in the process of efficiently managing paperwork.
Individually inscribed walnut plaques are presented to those who are
responsible for exceptional paperwork management achievements. Individual
and group citations are awarded for outstanding contributions to paperwork
efficiency. National and Government-wide publicity is given these awards.
