SUBJECT: Proposed DD/S&T Instruction
DD/S&T-3909/66
28 July 1966
REFERENCE: Minutes of Special Committee Meeting,
Dated 27 July, At_ '_ach: d
1. The purpose of this memo is to convey the results
of work done as a result of the reference. Attachment 2
contains a draft copy of DD/S&T Instruction 230-5 which
deals with DD/S&T Form 2416. The instruction is largely
self-explanatory but there is some amplifying information
which might be useful.
a. The Assistant R&D Coordinator referred 25X1A
to in the proposed instruction is myself. You
may recall my memo of 12 July to
a copy of which was provided you in advance of our
committee meeting. The Assistant R&D Coordinator
appears to me to be a very valid and vital require-
ment,' if we are to maintain the proper cognizance
over request of procurement/contract actions.
b. The Assistant R&D Coordinator,if I would
receive the funct:ion,would do certain basic things
which are not now accomplished. These would
include, but not be limited to, assuring that the
"package" contained all the material required in
the new DD/S&T Instruction # 230-4 which is now
awaiting signature in Paul Hildebrand's office.

SUBJECT: Proposed DD/S&T Instruction
was properly prepared, that the ADP Form and/
or marked up planning sheet was included and
that all proposals were attached. With the use
of the Form 2416, I would be in a position to
then determine the need nor the "package" to
go directly to the Procurement Management officer,
to include the Comptroller if a non- programmed
item is involved and to otherwise determine the
desirability of a full or partial Staff review.
c. The Assistant R&D Coordinator would
also be responsible for maintaining an awareness
of where all items were located in the Staff.
If I were given this responsibility, I would
adopt a system that at least resembled the
proposal contained in my 12 July memo. Under
this plan we would almost at once develop a
focal point to determine where actions were
located once they entered the Staff and we would
avoid items becoming delayed for many days simply
because of pressing work requirements.
2. I recommend approval of this proposed draft
instruction and the authority outlined for the Assistant
R&D Coordinator. 25X1A
