MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Task Force for Reorganization
At the meeting of 23 April 1973, there was discussion
and something of a consensus on the following points:
A. Possibility of combining the Overseas
Support Branch with the Domestic Support Branch.
The general feeling was that there would be little
to be served in combining the units at this partic-
ular time, and the problems encountered at foreign
posts are somewhat different from domestic diffi-
culties.
B. It was generally felt that the Safety
Branch is cut pretty tight, and even though the
safety functions are not primary security items,
there would be little benefit to the Agency in
having the mission transferred elsewhere. They
work with Survey, and there is a counter-balance
to Logistics.
C. Under PTOS, the four a " slots might
be cut because there is a rett strong y
that the program will go 6 - i
Some thought to two other cuts in PTOS, but this
was deferred.
D. There was some preliminary expression that
the fifteen receptionist slots could be converted
to contract positions. However, the functions would
have to remain and it would serve no real purpose
at this point to convert their status--and it could
hurt morale.

E. With respect to the "plans and programs"
problem, it was again emphasized by some of the
Task Force members that this unit needed stron 25X1A
beefing up--possibly morethan the
team. Programs have to be monitored; there has
been insufficient feed-back; and there has been
some overlap.
F. Some question was raised about the need for
five professional personnel officers, especially if
the Office is farming out files in a more bureau-
cratic fashion than other elements of the Agency.
It was concluded that we should not cut any of these
slots at this time.

G. Concerning
out that they have an extremely heavy work load at
the present time, support activities continue, and
readjustments have been made in a number of -
Most certainly another look might be ma e
at some time in the future, after the DDS&T assign-
ments ease off, but it would be better to make no
changes at the present.
H. As finally decided in the numbers game, as

will further review the PSI picture to be sure the
deletions are not too deep and too sharp.
I. Some further thoughts were expressed on the
ACTS/ES marriage through the use of an Associate
Deputy Director for Management and Services. The
ADD/M$S would have A$TS elements including plans
and programs, and he would also have responsibility
for SR&CD, Records Management, Executive Order 11652,
and Top Secret control. It was generally agreed that
there should be further discussion of this at the next
meeting of the Task Force.
