IMWIMIUM

6 January 1954
1. In accordance with your directions there is submitted herewith a proposed organization
# the Centre l Intelligence Agency. In view of the fact that I feel that certain regroupiiap
and ro&X1o* % of responsi es require early, if not immediate, attention this report is
submitted fttw- P considerate prior to co :t et1 an of m r orientation in the Agency.
2. Anion is 9..t[ to the charts accompanying this memorandum which set forth, in
gels Ow. re ponaibili't s of the Director of Central Intelligence, and the instrumentalities
thro .. h these responsibilities msy properly, adequately and efficiently be discharged,.
.' It will be noted that the responsibilities of the Director of Central Intelligence are
divided into two separate and distinct groupings, arse! that the discharge of these two grotips of
responsibilities is. effectuated through two Deputes. One of the Deputies is responsible for
,the production of f` hed Intelligence and for eli admini.strat rn and training, lees that
spec ` charged to the Clandestine $ertt functioning der the other Deputy, This lat-
t*' Dep , under the Directors is responsible for an operational functions of the Central
Intelligence Age .
4. It in a fundamental of sound organization that no executive should have less than three
nor more than five subordinates reporting directly to him in an administrative and command chain.
This principle is violated in the case of the ee'-enior Deputy, in that six "boxes" are shown in his
direct chain of command, However, since one of these "boxes" is that of Intelligence Coordination,
primarily a secretariat for the Intelligence Advisory Committee, this grouping is felt to be
justified*
