My apologies for not expressing my apprecia-
tion for your 9 November 1965 memorandum before this late date.
We have discussed this memorandum and
related suggestions with the Director. and I think you will be pleased
to know that we plan to start a series of briefings by each Deputy
Director for the senior personnel in the other Directorates. This
would be a rather long-range program, the first round of which
should be completed during the next six to eight months.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF INTELLIGENCE
SUBJECT: Broadening "Directorate of Intelligence" to Include DDT and DDP
1. This memorandum is for information only.
2. Focus of concern by the Press at this time is on CIA being engaged
in matters abroad other than collecting intelligence and in the necessity for
a Congressional or combined Congressional public watchdog committee to over-
see the Agency.
3. There are distinctions within the Agency between "overt" and "covert"
employees and units, such as DDI and DDP.
4. Anything that could get a more unifying feeling that employees are
"CIA" people, rather than "overt or covert" CIA people, and a realization
that the Agency is one-team, all working for the salvation of America, would
be valuable.
5. You might wish to consider whether the "Directorate of Intelligence"
should include the DDI and the DDP, as divisions, each operating, in general,
along present lines, but with a Director of Coordination with a small staff,
to oversee their activities, meld some, divide others, and make all the
employees of the Directorate "covert" for security reasons.
6. Consideration might also be given to periodic changes of controlling
personnel within the Agency. Transfers to be made between presently classified
"overt" and "covert" professional personnel so as to infuse freshness, force,
new viewpoints, and so transferees would secure understanding of "other" pro-
blems and the need for unity within the Agency. New methods, new avenues of
approach to problems, new possibilities, new techniques would be objectives.
Growing problems of the United States, all over the World, and in-
creased Communist activity everywhere, including attacks on the FBI and CIA
and the Un-American Activities Committee from elements within the United States,
necessitates expansion by CIA, conservation of its trained personnel, and the
securing of qualified new personnel who know their work will be significant,
never routine, never tied to one spot, and that it is vital to our Country's
national security. The periodic transfers might keep our good people more
alert, more interested. Of course, there would be no decreases in pay status--
there could be increases.
These thoughts are for your consideration and no recommendation is made.
