HAS EVOLVED FROM DATA SUBMITTED IN 1955 BASED ON 1954 PRODUCTION.
2. IN 195+ THE CABLE SECRETARIAT WORKLOAD FOR AN AVERAGE MONTH WAS 12,088 CIA
CABLES. THEY NOW PROCESS 24,520 CIA CABLES IN AN AVERAGE MONTH -- AN INCREASE OF
103%. THEIR TOTAL WORKLOAD, INCLUDING CIA AND NON-CIA CABLES, NOW AVERAGES 36,479
CABLES EACH MONTH -- AN INCREASE IN WORKLOAD OVER 1954 OF 206%. THEIR T/0 SINCE
STATINTL 1955 HAS BEEN INCREASED BY
NON-CIA CABLES, A RESPONSIBILITY ASSIGNED TO THE CABLE SECRETARY IN JANUARY 1961.
STATINTL
3. As YOU KNOW, THE CABLE SECRETARY IS UNDER PRESSURE TO DISSEMINATE BOTH CIA
AND NON-CIA CABLES IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AROUND THE CLOCK.
SINCE THE PROMPT DISSEMINATION OF CABLES IS OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE TO THE ENTIRE
AGENCY, I WOULD LIKE TO BE ASSURED THAT THE CABLE SECRETARY HAS AVAILABLE THE MEANS
TO DO HIS JOB TO THE STANDARDS WE ALL DESIRE. ACCORDINGLY, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT
IF YOUR STAFF WOULD MAKE A STUDY OF THE CABLE SECRETARIAT-MESSAGE CENTER IN ORDER
TO EFFECT SUCH CHANGES IN THE GRADE STRUCTURE AND CEILING AS MAY NOW BE WARRANTED.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CABLE SECRETARY HAS A DRAFT REORGANIZATION CHART AND REVISED
JOB SHEETS WHICH HE BELIEVES WOULD MEET HIS NEEDS.
