MEMORANDUM
8 March 1945
TO: List S and All Branch Chiefs and Office Heads
SUBJECT: Approval of Projects Based on Planning Group Programs
You will have noticed that the Overall Programs of the Planning
Group have provided and will continue to provide that budgets
incidental to the approved plans set forth therein must be pre-
pared under OSS regulations.
I should like to remind all of you that an integral and essen-
tial part of the procedure in requesting funds is the submission
of the request to the Board of Review for their recommendation
to the Directorc You should bear this in mind in working out
your plans under the approved Planning Group programs.
It should also be pointed out that whether or not a Planning
Group program spells out that budgets must be prepared under
WS regulations, the approval of the program does not consti-
tute a justification for the expenditure of funds until the
required submission is made to the Board of Review in accord-
ance with the Board of Review's Administrative Bulletin Number
1, dated 29 June 1944,

MORAN= TO: General Donovan
SUBJECT: Recommendations of the Board of Review:.
?
I met this morning with the members of the Board oUtt ew
to discuss several questions relating to the form in whichpproved
recommendations of the Board should be issued and the procedure for
handling. then. Our conclusions were as follows:
I. That approved reconaendations of general application
should. be issued as general orders in a designated number series
signed by the Director and not, as at present, as administrative
bulletins. This will eliminate any doubt as to the status of
such directives and will conform to our established system of
general and special orders. Administrative bulletins of this
character which Lave already been issued will be redesignated
general orders in this series.
2. Administrative bulletins of the Board of Review' will
be either (a) announcements relating to the organisation and
prooadures of the Board, or (b) opinions or background discus-
sions supporting recommendations of the Board which, it is felts
should be given general circulation.
3. Where' general orders are to be issued, proposed orders
will normally be submitted by the Board together with its de-
tailed reemendations. In appropriate cases the detailed rec-
vmmendations wi,11 be issued simultaneously with the order as an.
administrative bulletin. The order will normally begin with the
fallowing sentence:
"The following recommendations of the Board of Review
are hereby approved."
, SCRS disoussionf..was also held on tb.e procedure to be
.?ollewed for notifying those concerned of faction taken by the
U.LteOteqt on recommendations of the Board of Review which are not
Pctbe,tatrataated to the Agency, but of which notice is to be
tlt tho particular 'branches concerned, e.g., SI and Special
It now -the practice to return. to the Board of Review the

'eritOn .cteaisiori'noted, thereon. This is accompanied by a memorandum
o .aoildon; tAken from the. Executive Office to the Board of Review,.

question /bather it should not have the approved original in ite
files in cases 'whets it is asked to ipay out money on this author-
ity. I stated my opinion that it wau.ld be best if we had In this
Agency the general rule -which is not being followed in the Matte
Rouse, i.e. to collect in the Director's file all autharizatiaas
and approves which the General has signed, so that these can be
readily located in one place at any future time. Until such a
policy is establiehed, however, I can see no objection to the ap-
proved originals of this series being lodg,ed with the Board of
Review. It was the agreement of the meeting that with your ap-
provs3. this should be done and that the Board of ReVielf ewou3.d notify
Special Funds Branch of all pertinent recommendations -"hi& you
hale approved. Both Colonel Rehm and Mr. Goddard edill be sati.sfied
with this procedure if you will first authorize Special Funds Branch
to make payments on such notification. Colonelaears expressed the
velllingness of the Board of Review to return its file of approved
originals to the Director if at any time it shoed be decided as
a matter of policy to collect this type of document, in the Director's
Notification to the branches concerned of action taken by the
file.
Director' .course , normally made by the Director' s Office.
The Board of Review feels, however, that in the case of ..ts recom-
mendations it would be best for notification to be made by the
Board, since it knows a33. of the parties concerned and has discussed
the matter with them. This seems to me to be reasonable, and it
im proposed in tuch cases that the Executive Office, in notifying
the Board of Review of action taken, elill request it in turn to
notify ot.bers in the Agency who are concerned.
5. Inn. you kindly indicate whether the foregoing procedure
has your approval.
