OSI surveyed by Inspector General August 1964
"0SI is not yet over the shock of the transfer of its subordination
from the DD/I to the DD/S&T. Almost without exception, OSI professionals,
who volunteered comment, believe that scientific intelligence production
could be carried out more effectively if OSI were within the Directorate
for Intelligence. We do not think it appropriate to re-examine at this
time all of the pro's and con's of OSI's location in one directorate or
another. The decision to place OSI in the DD/S&T was not lightly made,
and.OSI has had less than a year of experience in living with its new
chain of command--too little to permit a valid assessment of the soundness
of its subordination."
p. 145, Inspector General's Survey of OSI, Aug 1964.
Also said it was too early to assess the effect the transfer has had on
CIA's S&T intelligence production.
17 recommendations made: organization,
The majority related to/staffing, career management,and supervisory
problems, three or four related to the quality of S&T intelligence being
produced.
