1. You have already seen the memoranda which I have
distributed to the other Directorates concerning the reduction of require-
ments placed on the support units. I intend to pursue the objectives
implied in those memoranda vigorously and insure that the support burdens
are reduced even if it is necessary to institute arbitrary ceilings. In the
meantime I believe that it would be profitable if you and I worked on an
approach from the opposite direction by reviewing those activities that can
be reduced or stopped because they are either of limited utility or provide /(
a service which can be abandoned without major consequence on the M
operations. O
2. With this in mind I am therefore suggesting that in your R
review on possibly cutting back manpower and budget levels to FY '63, the A
following possibilities be examined.
a. In the Logistics area I wonder whether we are not N
stockpiling or warehousing items which no lon er have high priority for D
Agency usage and which individuals should noibe asked to obtain for them-
selves. I think we ought to examine our transportation services most care- U
fully both in headquarters and in the field with a goal of cutting back the T
number of vehicles, both official and personal. I wonder also whether we 1~/1
can't effect economies in the operations of our buildings; while this may not
be a direct cost on us, it might nevertheless help GSA in its cutback which
I assume will be just as drastic as ours.

b. In the Training area I am still deeply concerned over
the fact that agent training is not only done by OTR but by just about every
Clandestine Services component, both in headquarters and in the field. I wish
you would review this matter with the DD/P and see if we cannot effect
economies by centralization and consolidation. If the DD/P feels that this is
impractical or prefers to have it done on a specialized basis by their units,
then I think the entire area of agent training should be turned over to them.
(I am sending a copy of this subparagraph to the DD/P. )
3. I have directed memoranda of a similar nature to the other
Directorates, and would appreciate a response by 15 January.
