Wheelon to DCI Subj: Response to Combined Program Call (FY 67 - 72)
25X1
"We are proposing a level of effort over the period FY 67 - FY 72 which
will require substantial increases in personnel and, funds. I see no alter-
native to this course if we are to fulfill the basic mission that led to the
establishment of the Directorate of Science and Technology and meet success-
fully the challenging Agency objectives which lie ahead. Our progress has
thus far been limited to some extent by the fact that this Directorate was
established and spent the first few years of growth during a time when
economy restraints inhibited our ability to get on with the job I feel is
necessary if we are to carve out and play a leading role in s and technical
intelligence in the U.S. community. While our planning guidelines call for
substantial increases, I do not believe these increases weigh very heavily in
the scales in relation to other Agency programs, particularly when our
program goals are measured in relation to their eventual pay-off.
ADWlisted the programs which affected the budget level for next five yrs
and asked the DCI's support in obtaining the increase of funds and personnel
required to accomplish them.
