MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Security
SUBJECT : Reorganization of the Office of Security
1. Pursuant to your instructions, the Task Force has ex-
amined the problems involved in the implementation of the proposed
reorganization of the Office of Security. Detailed examinations
of these problems were considered by a number of separate sub-
committees. The subcommittees functioned very effectively and
harmoniously and as a result of their efforts the major obstacles
to orderly implementation have been surfaced and resolved. The
Chairmen of these committees and the committeemen deserve a vote
of gratitude for their accomplishments. They are individually
noted in TAB A.
2. The Task Force believes that there are significant ad-
vantages to be achieved through space consolidation of the various
divisions. The physical moves would, of course, involve expenditure
of funds, delay and temporary disorganization. However, the ad-
vantages of contiguous space are so obvious that these moves should
not be delayed. Attached as TAB B is a space summary and a flow
chart which suggest areas which will accommodate the various divisions
and the order in which the moves should be effected. We believe the
total implementation can be completed within 60 days. PTOS can be
fully implemented almost immediately since minimal physical move-
ment is contemplated for this Directorate.
3. The Task Force believes that minor T/0 changes, procedures,
name changes and restructuring will be required after implementation
and you will note in the tabs that several of the subcommittees have
made such recommendations. It is our contention, however, that
these alterations should await experience under the new organization
in order to avoid premature changes. It should be noted in this
regard that any changes in the structure of the organization after
implementation should be made to the extent possible within the
command jurisdiction of the responsible components. In other words,
changes within the Clearance Division should be handled within that
Division, failing that, within the Directorate prior to seeking
help from other Directorates.

4. In the case of SRS, the Task Force believes that the
current file holdings should be drastically purged, and the files
remaining which belong to the SR&CD, returned to SR&CD. Further,
the precise tasking of the Research Branch and the responsibility
for liaison with other government components and other SRS related
functions be left to the discretion of DD/PSI and Chief Clearance
Division as those responsibilities would impact most heavily in
their area of cognizance. It should also be noted that the SRS
space represents a keystone for all other moves to fully imple-
ment the reorganization, therefore, an early decision to reduce
the file holdings of SRS and to reassign its personnel is nec-
essary prerequisite for the implementation.

6. As indicated above, the details of the implementation,
projected responsibilities and organization of the components
through branch and section level are detailed under TABs C
through T. Although the Task Force does not agree in complete
detail with all suggestions outlined in the TABs, we believe the
overall implementation plans are practical. It is our view that
these documents represent an excellent guide but should not be
considered a binding or definitive directive. Flow charts are
included where the use of these devices portray the work flow
more clearly than a narrative description.
