1. In February the DDCI directed that the DD/S&T
undertake, in cooperation with the Executive Director-
Comptroller, a manpower audit of the Office of Special
Activities. The understanding was that any reductions
achieved could be utilized by me to meet critical manpower
requirements of this Directorate,
2, The Office of Special Activities Manpower Audit has
beepi completed and the Task Force recommended a reduction of
reviewed these recommendations on an individual case-by-ease
basis with the Director of the Office of Special Activities,
an" we agree that these reductions will not seriously affect
OSA's capability to carry out its assigned responsibilities.
Therefore, I have approved the Task Force recommendations and
am submitting two copies of the Task Force report herewith.

3. Within the past three weeks, I have conducted a
detailed review of the FY 1967 manpower requirements of each
of the DD/S&T components. This has resulted in a proposed
reallocation of FY 1967 component ceilings as follows:
Component
25X1A
O/DD/S&T
ORD
OSA
OEL
OCS
OSI
FMSAC
OSP
4. The details of the activities for which these position
increases will be utilized are contained in Attachment B. In
summary, however, they are as follows:
a. The Office of the DD/S&T will be increased
25X1A to a level of
^ positions. This is necessary at
this time in order to perform those overview and
management functions required to respond to the
Agency's increasing emphasis on the application of
uniform advanced management and control techniques.
DA1 b, I propose to add
^ positions on the T/O
of the Office of Research and Development. These
25X1A ^ will be utilized to meet, at least in part,
their budgeted requirement of 0 which was
25X1A approved by the Bureau of the Budget but could
not be allocated. These positions will provide
an increased capability to carry out and monitor
the rapidly expanding R&D program and related
contract activity of the Agency and of this
Directorate.

c. The. Office of ELINT is being increased by
^ positions which will be primarily devoted to the
Agency's increasing

d. To meet the critical need for an increase
in the level of effort on the Soviet anti-ballistic
missile program I am increasing the Office of Scientific
Intelligence byositions.
e. Lastly, in order to provide a modest capability
to meet its own internal support requirements, I am
allocating to the Foreign Missile and
Space Analysis en er o provide for the assignment
of
5. These modest increases, which have been made possible
by a reduction in the authorized ceiling of the Office of
Special Activities, in no way meet what I feel to be the
legitimate and current manpower requirements of this Directorate.
25X1A I see no reason to change my opinion that the requested level
of 0 for the Office of Research and Development is an
25X1A entirely justified requirement and, in fact, could be defended
to a level close to if we were in a more liberal manpower.
authorization environment. Furthermore, not reflected in the
foregoing ceiling reallocations are the FY 1967 requirements
25X1A of the Office of Special Pro' t cs which result from new
responsibilities in the CORONA F_ _J projects.
25X1A These will be treated separately in another paper since they
will require additional manpower and funding authorizations
from the Bureau of the Budget. I feel that the Office of
Computer Services ceiling authorization may be substantially
below the level needed if they are to perform effectively
those functions which they should perform as an Agency
centralized computed support facility. However, analysis of
their requirements over both the short and long term is being
withheld until Agency policy in the computer field has been
enunciated.
6. These ceiling reallocations will obviously require
certain T/O changes and modifications. These are being
developed by the affected components and will be submitted
to the Director of Planning, Programming and Budgeting in
