structural category, information on our manpower
growth for the .period 1980-1988. Our proposed
response (Attachment B) has been drawn from your
various budget submissions and spells out specific
issue areas which account for substantial portions
of the manpower growth. Please provide us your

~~tch10RANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
Director, Intelligence Community Staff
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Intelligence Community Budget
1. Chairman Boland feels an obligation to give the Intelligence Community
budget the same kind of close scrutiny which has been given the Defense budget.
He will be off on a trip to China with the Speaker for the next two weeks.
41hen he returns, he will expect his staff to have examined the Intelligence
Co~munity budget for ossible reductions. It appears their focus will be on
the manpower buildup ~in the Community.
2. It is important to justify this very specifically. It will not be
enough to talk merely about a drawdown and buildup. I think it is necessary
to show how lean we were in each specific area, i.e., one analyst in hlexico
in 1979 or whatever, we now have seven, we should have twelve. I think this
has to be done segment-by-segment/desk-by-desk in CIA and DIA, unit-by-unit
in the other components where manpower will be under severe challenge.
3. It is important not only to show how lean we were and how we have
needed~eople to rebuild as far as Y!e have, but also what vre will need
to be doing an adequate job somewhere in 1986-88.
4. The same will be needed to show where we were in technical collection,
when the decisions to upgrade were made, how most of the additional funding
required in the intervening years was the result of those earlier decisions,
what we still need to have an adequate apparatus towards the end of the decade,
what it will cost to maintain that status. There is likely to be a perception
that. when the capital spending has been completed the funding level will fall
off, and we have to show that there will be continuing maintenance costs.
5. Another element that needs to be brought out clearly is that earlier i
decisions have produced a large increase in the amount of information that
is required, which in turn requires more manpower for processing and analysis.
6. Then also the demand for information en a widening area of increasinglyI
conplex subjects--this should not only be stated but be related to the number
of analysts required to meet that need.
7. Finally, we need to go back and show how the data base buildup during
the first 20 years of the Agency's history was either abandoned or allowed to
atrophy, hose it needs to be rebuilt in the kind of world w2 have today, and
((f++~
iifv~
 what is now and will be mandated in people and facilities to rebuild the data
base. I hope this all can be brought together so that we can have a full
review when I come back and be ready for whatever will come out of the
first combing of the budget by the HPSCI staff. Also, we should see what
intelligence is available as to what they may be zeroing in on. As far as
I know, 0 is the only member of the committee who is privy to
this process.

GENERAL SUPPORT
Throughout the 1970s as the intelligence budget was steadily reduced in
real terms, competing substantive priorities for scarce resources forced
cutbacks in what was needed to sustain the CIA support structure. By 1980,
the entire capital plant had begun to show the effects of insufficient
maintenance and rehabilitation, the worldwide communications network being the
most prominent example. Beginning with the 1982 program, an effort was begun
to rebuild and upgrade the Agency's support structure. This effort is
projected to continue through the end of the decade at a rate designed to keep
pace with Agency growth.
Communications
-- The Office of Communications positions have grown Din
1980~~in 1983 with the growing interest in the Third World. The
are opened abroad and domestic sites are increased to provide for
increased overt collection. Growth also occurs in the number of
contractor facilities supporting the development of advanced technical
collection systems and in external research contracts. By 1988, it is
anticipated that positions will be required to support both the
worldwide communications network and related communications services --
both in the domestic field and in the Headquarters areal
25X1

 Security
-- In 1980, the Agency allocated
positions to the Office of Security for 25X1
central direction of the program to protect CIA personnel, facilities,
information, and intelligence sources and methods. The number grew td
positions in 1983 -- largely to support increased needs in the area of
personnel security -- to perform more on-site audits, background
investigations and polygraph interviews. Resources dedicated to the
reinvestigation and repolygraph programs were applied to the more pressing
needs to complete new employee investigations and to meet the increasing
requirements for clearance of industrial contractors. Further growth to
positions in 1984 placed major emphasis on augmenting investigative 25X1
and polygraph programs, enhancing information handling security in both
government and contractor computer systems, and strengthening overseas
security. The security program is projected to grow to~positions in 25X1
1988, a growth that will continue the strengthening of these three
programs while continuing to maintain a strong security posture across a
broad front.
Central ADP Services
-- The Office of Data Processing has had steady growth from 1980 when its
strength was0 a 1983 strength Much of this increase has 25X1
been for support to development of large information handling systems like
SAFE and CAMS, with SAFE accounting for about half of the~osition
increase in 1984. This level of a positions essentially will continue 25X1
unchanged through 1988 as planned capabilities such as a new payroll
system and the Logistics Information Management System (LIMB) progress
from developmental activities to operating systems.

 Logistics
-- Despite the expansion of Agency activities worldwide, the Office of
Logistics
maintained a relatively level staffing; in 1980 and a in
1983. With the substantial drawdown of CIA support infrastructure
overseas in the 1970 s, we are now faced with a current shortfall in our
25X1
25X1
25X1
ability to provide timely and adequate logistic support, and to respond to
crises. To meet these needs,^ positions are added to the Office in 25X1
1984. The requirements to maintain our aging capital plant coupled with
the projected further growth in Agency activities both domestically and
overseas, have caused us to plan fort (positions in 1988. ~~
Communications Recpitalization
-- In addition to the manpower increases, there is a large ongoing program to
recapitalize the worldwide communications network. The cost of this
program over the 1983-1988 period is almost0 with some
budgeted in both 1983 and 1984. Current portions of the
network are unreliable and not cost effective, but by 1988 we will be
nearing the completion of a modern and a dynamic system that is
compatible, network-wide, survivable, and responsive to the growing and
changing requirements of its customers.)
