FY-84. He noted the recent Comptroller review of the impact of
hypothetical cuts of 4, 8 and 12% Below DCI Guidance on the
Agency's Program and ind4cated that the Executive Committee
needed to reconfirm its decision at the June meeting to request
positions.

original strategy until told how much to cut. By standing fast,
a 4% cut, for example, min en from Over Guidance rather
than from DCI Guidance. noted that if a 4% below DCI
Guidance were imposed, the Agency would have to reassess its
entire program. Mr. Gates said that if a. cut is necessary, he
would rather lose dollars than people; he was investing in
rebuilding the Intelligence Directorate's staff.

initiatives, which would include a cut in th program.

consensus of the group that the program presented by the
Comptroller (attached) would be adopted.
