CIA Planning-Programming-Budgeting System
summer those people to whom this memorandum is
`:caressed sport a considerable amount of time and interest in the
preparation of a "Long-range Plan". As far as :. __ow, this was the
first attempt by the Agency to take a look into t:1e future and to try to
think about our long-range objectives on an across-the-board basis.
This study is a very noteworthy and useful first effort.
Z. Almost simultaneously with the conz-:)ietion of the "Long=
range Plan" the President announced a new system for planning,
programming, and budgeting to be instituted in the Federal Govern=
ment.
3. Guidelines for installing the new system and a time schedule
for the accomplishment of specific steps were set forth in Bureau o*' the
Budget Circular No. 66-3 (Tab A). Since the Circular was drafted for
Government-wide application, it is lengthy and complex -- but it
nonetheless represents our basic guidance in launching into this prdalem.
After a substantial amount of informal clarification and elaboration' with
the Bureau of the Budget staff, and discussions with such "experts" as
1-ienry Rowen and Alain Enthoven, we have attem?ted to design a syS;:ein
which, using the "Long-range Plan" as a base, will build into our
management processes a regular -planning schedule involving the Director
and the Directorates. The result of this initial effort is at Tab B. Tlie
system is designed to ensure that the planning process is not subordinated
to the budgeting process, but at the same time is closely allied -herk:tc.
