Approved For Release 2001/03/07 :JA.RDP92B01090R002600120048-5 PS/DCI ONLY 1 December 1958 25X1A SUBJECT : Planning Committee on Communications REFERENCE : Memorandum for SA/PD/DCI, dated 26 November 1958, same subject. I have neither authority nor desire to tell this distinguished Committee how it should conduct its affairs and I suppose a series of briefings on present and prospective communications systems is as good a way to start as any other. I would remind you, however, that it was agreed by all the Deputies that the Committee's first task should be to examine the need for the present volume of various types of communications and to study means of reducing that volume; not merely to save communications cost but because far too many valuable man hours are spent writing them and because this Headquarters is swamped with an excessive flow of words from the field. I ask that you exert your influence to the maximum to focus the Committee's attention on this problem. 25X1A SA /PD /DCI:RMB:djm O-Addressee 1-SA/PD/DCI Chrono w/ref.
