Memorandum
TO . Deputy Chief, Supply Division
25X1A
FROM Chief. ,
DATE: 24 July 1969
SUBJECT: Coordination of Planning with the Office of Logistics
The following are some typical examples of projects or tasks that
are planned without participation of Logistics representatives during
the planning stage:
a. Operating Divisions often plan and/or make commitments
to effect large accommodation procurements and shipments of
material to foreign governments without Office of Logistics (OL)
participation in the planning stage. Usually the requirements
when presented to OL are firm and in most cases always carry a
top priority which not only upsets the scheduling of other
priority work in support of Agency operations but often presents
problems in procurement, shipment and secure handling that could
have been better accomplished if OL had participated in the
initial planning.
b. OSA, a user of large quantities of equipment, does not
include OL in their plans for the disposal of equipment or close
out of bases. Early planning and coordination with OL could
result in more efficiency at less cost.
c. The Office of Security (OS) in liaison with other Government
agencies frequently makes commitments involving logistical support
prior to any contact with OL. The commitment made by OS has to be
modified since security was not knowledgeable of all the logistical
aspects at the time the commitment was made; i.e., shipment of
records from the White House to the library in Texas.
