Delegation of Authority
Mmmo to the DD/A from AAD/P, dated 17 June 52,
some subject
1. Referenced memorandum forwarded herewith should receive
your early attention and action.
2, The problem raised by Colonel Baird is not unique to
Personnel but is common to most of the delegations made in the
December 1950 directive from the Director of Central Intelligence;
the entire subject should be studied.
In preparing a revision consideration should be given
gplication of the principle remanded by Colonel Baird,
that of delegating only to the chief of an organizational
to subordinates of such a chief) which, in effect, denies to him
certain control he properly shod have. At the same time, however,
restriction should be placed on the level below which a given
authority cannot be r+legated. For instance, some should not
below Division .ef, some no lower than Branch Cbieef,p while
others may properly be redelegated to Section or Unit Reads .
