1. Request.
N4ND
It is requested that approval be granted to the following project
covering unvouchered funds to the amount of $103,000.00 for the us e of
Research Division of the Office of Executive for Inspection and Security
during fiscal year 1949.
This is not a request for additional total funds and is included
within funds previously authorized to the Executive for I & S in the
present 1919 Budget and in the Project for Employee Investigative Branch
approved by the Director on 30 June 1918.
Reason for the project is that this portion of these funds must be
unvouchered for security reasons.
2, Budgetary Savings
a. For the information of the Committee, the consolidation of the
- security services of OSO and CIA has effected a saving in personal
services (salaries) of $2214,275.00. See TAB A.
b. In addition, the whole budget of the Executive for I & S has been
ref igurod as shown in TAB B. in order to lower the cost incident to FBI
ceasing investigations. The total saving is $278,110.00.
c. From TAB A and B it can be shown that we have saved $278,110.00
of the additional cost of investigation incident to the FBI ceasing to
investigate. Considering that the FBI would have charged $200,000.00
for investigations, the total additional cost to this agency will only
be about $70,000.00.
