25X1A
I have always felt that you and your st f would give your
full support to any project directed from i s office, even though
you might have advised against it. Your d patch 25X1A
reassures me.
I have become increasingly concern with logistical support
for operations and the accumulation of -arge stocks without proper
accountability and surveillance. I fully aware that this Head-
quarters has been slow in providing oper guidance as to logistical
procedures and that it is equally at ault in not furnishing suffi-
cient adequately trained logistical. ersonnel. I am also aware of
your difficulties caused by contin d reorganization and logistical
demands placed{?n you by other Mi dons. In fact, I am certain that
Mr. Garrison'sreport would have sited far more serious facts were
it not for the initiative and co iscientious efforts of yourself and
your staff.
Agency regulations concehing supply policy and procedures
have been published and arew in process of implementation within
your area. Trained logistic 1 personnel have been-furnished you
and more are being pr I feel that we are progressing.
I believe that continued presence at your
Headquarters will provid me wit e' ective logistical liaison to
all the major stations i Europe and the Near East. His presence
should also insure the apidppermanent solution to what are now
recurrent logistical f lures and, in addition, lay the groundwork
for an integrated sup rt system which might cross command boundaries.
Your assurance of his complete support is appreciated.
