SECT Economy Actions within the Support Area
REFERFCE: Memorandum for the Deputy Director for Support
from the Director of Logistics, Subject:
Lstics Economy Measures, dated 28 February
1964
1. This is in response to your request of 15 June 1964.
2. The following additional steps have been taken toward
further economy in Office of Logistics operations since preparation
of the reference :
a. An Operations Review Staff was activated. This two-
man staff functions as an overall review and control mechanism
for all Logistics elements. While no positive action can be
reported yet, I believe that considerable cost reductions will
be realized in the future.
b. Multilith a nt recently obtained will be used
to produce the
Reports presently printed by the mimeograph method. The use of
these machines, together with our new bindery equipment, will
result in annual cost reductions of more than $60,000 and an
eventual reduction of three or four personnel.
c. A study was made of the Agency bus system. We are
proposing that the number of scheduled trips be reduced and
driver overtime be eliminated. These actions, if approved, will
result in an annual cost reduction in excess of $50,000.
d. On 4 May 1964, we submitted recommendations for changes
in the Agency policy concerning issuance of Government-owned
furniture to overseas employees. Based on our determination of
the relative costs involved, we feel that considerable cost
reductions will result if employees are required to ship and not

store their own furniture. No actual dollar figure was
developed, but the potential reduction in costs inherent in
this proposal is a great one.
e. On 28 May 1961, we submitted for approval of the
Deputy Director for Support a proposed change in the present
policy on executive furniture and furnishings. Our recommenda-
tion limits to 08-16 and above the issuance of these items.
Although no specific figures have been developed, we feel that
considerable cost reductions will result from this action.
f. We recently reviewed Agency vehicle utilization in
the United States. Based on this review, 19 vehicle authoriza-
tions have been eliminated from Consolidated Tables of Vehicular
Allowances. This represents potential inventory reductions
amounting to more than 8000. Following the imminent publica-
tion of revised the basic vehicle regulation, a
couparable worldwide review of vehicle utilization will be
possible, as a standard recordkeeping and reporting procedure
is included in the revisions.
