MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, BPAM
This is a problem which you and I have discussed
before and I think you know my general views. I do not wish to
overcentralize. Generally speaking, I think a Deputy Director
should have reasonable freedom in how he wants to organize and
run his shop. However, these reorganizations do have budgetary
implications, sometimes of considerable magnitude both within
that directorate and in others.
I feel, therefore, that we must formalize some
system of approval an organizational changes. I would appreciate
it if you would give some thought to this and submit a proposal
before too long.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director - Comptroller
SUBJECT : Controls over Organization Changes, etc.
1. One aspect of the Executive Director-Comptroller's
responsibility is that over changes in the organization. While, generally,
during my tenure I would. say that the Directorates have been quite
cooperative in discussing with me in advance organizational changes
which they wanted to make, I think the system could be formalized to a
greater degree and I would urge that you issue a directive requiring
written approval by yourself before any organizational changes are made.
I recall the recent changes made in the DD/I in which the
at the same time, dropped the word "Assistant"from the office chief

D/I,
2. I would also urge that you establish tighter controls on the
production and reproduction of organization charts, perhaps even to the
extent of establishing in the Executive Registry, or a similar central
location, a chart control office from which charts can be borrowed. There
is a great diversity of charts in the Agency, both on the over-all organiza-
tion structure and on individual components, and I believe it would be
more useful to have this centralized.
