Deputy Director/ Plans
Fiscal Year 1965 Budget Levels
1. Would you have undertaken on a priority basis an examina-
tion of the consequences of reduced levels of operation on the assumption
(1) that FY '65 allocations will not exceed those in the FY '64 Congressional
request, and (2) that FY '65 allbcath ns will not exceed FY 163 obligation
levels.
2. For your information fto I)D/S has already instituted such
an action within his offices and I will be examining directly with the DD/S&T
the consequences of cutbacks in his area. In making these studies I would
suggest that consideration be given to not only the priorities within your
directorate but also overall priorities as far as the Agency and the total
U. S. intelligence effort is concerned. I would also suggest that if there are
areas in which your components are engaged and in which other agencies
are also engaged. you forward suggestions as to whether you believe that
your activities should cease or those of other agencies. In making this
examination I would strongly recommend that all units bear in mind that in
examining manpower controls henceforth we will be looking not only at the
utilization of staff employees but also at the utilization of contract personnel
or individuals in any way compensated by the Agency through subsidiaries
or proprietaries.
3. It is requested that these studies be completed by not later
than 20 December. We will be contacting your office at that time to set up
meetings to review Agency requirements for economy.
