Subjeott Administrative support for CIA
1. In view-of-the current inspootions by representatives of the
Hoover Commission, by representatives of the Dulles'Jackson-Correa com-
maitteea, as well as by the Budget -Review Board, etc., the organization of
the CIA is being very carefully scrutinized. It has been my belief for
some time that considerable duplication exists, particularly as regards
the various kinds and classes of administrative support of CIA.
2. I should like the addressees to most and consider an organiza-
tion of our Agency whereby duplication may be minimized with due regard
to the necessi r"for efficient and secure operations. Especially is
this necessary now with the directives contained in NSC 10,.-
It seems to as that the following throe cases should be care-
fully wramineds
o. A complete centralization of all support notiona under
4, While the above cases are believed to be illuatrative; it is not
the current orgasxisation.
my intention that the addressees should limit their consideration only
to those eases. Instead, what should be sought for is a scaling-down
and streamlining of support funotione, always consistent with the
necessity for security.
5. If the above addressees feel the need for obtaining the views
of-ay of the other members of CIA (for examples finance, budget, legal,
*to.), they are authorised to call representatives before them and to
obtain statements,
