)MORA` FOR: Colonel White
SUBJECT : Tables Vs. Desks
1. In the attached memo -- Tables vs. Desks -- 25X1 A9a
suggests that you arbitrarily select three of your staffs Man as
them how many desks they can turn in for replacement with tables
and, if not any, why not.
2. I have an alternate suggestion for your consideration which,
if the psychologists know what they are talking about, I believe
might work better, and that is for you to all of a sudden replace
your desk with a table. This will bring about a flood of requisitions
from other Support elements. If you wish to swamp Logistics with
requisitions, then persuade the Director, Frank Wisner, and Bob Amory
to do likewise.
3. Seriously, one of the problems that plagues CIA is the
lack of good publicity due to security restrictions. Hence any
opportunity for us to do something to erase the general impression
that we are foolish money spenders should be given the most serious
consideration. The substitution of tables for desks might offer
such an opportunity.
