SUBJECT : Report of Cable Secretariat Operations
1 - 30 April 1971
1. The workload in April 1971 was 72, 557 items, a 12% increase
over April 1970. For the ten months of FY 1971 we are running 4%
more than for the same period in Fiscal Year 1970.
2. As of 30 April 1971 our assigned strength remains at=
persons, making us even with our authorized strength for FY 1971.
3. On 9 April 1971, O/PPB, briefed-
25X1A an me on the results of the study he made
of dissemination units, including the Cable Secretariat.
recommendations as I recall them were to: a) transfer non-CIA cable
dissemination functions to CRS, and DDP traffic to DDP, or; b) trans-
fer non-CIA cable dissemination functions to CRS, and leave DDP
traffic with the Cable Secretariat, or; c) subordinate the Cable Secre-
tariat to the Office of Communications vice the Office of the Director.
25X1A Since both study and that made b f the
the Cable Secretariat, it is hoped that copies can le
made available to us at some point.
4. Progress toward the goal of purchasing a document sorter
from Collator Corporation, Seattle, Washington has been slow. The
necessary forms and authorizations are in the hands of the Contract
Branch, Office of Logistics. Collator Corporation has stated that they
will require 90 Days for delivery from the time the contract is signed.
