b1.FM GRANDUlti1 FOR CHI_iiF, ICAPS
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, ORE
1. The Director has studied the draft program for ORE as prepared
by ICAPS and the alternate proposed by the Assistant Director for Reports
and Estimates, both attached.
2. While there is a real and pressing necessity for a positive
program for each office of CIG, there must also be a full realization
of the problems under which these offices are operating. The shortage
of proper working space, the inadequacy of manpower and facilities, and.
the growth of operational and administrative procedures are conditions
we must face for the remainder of this fiscal year.
3. The Director feels that we must adopt within ORE, for the
period of the next few months, a program which'is a reasonable b,lance
of the two proposals herewith. He feels that the ICAPS proposal is
sound in concept, offers an excellent objective for production of in-
telligence, but under current conditions cannot be wholly implemented
at this time. On the other hand, the ORE proposal is lacking the long
range view and is not sufficiently specific.
4. It is therefore desired, in view of our operational difficulties,
that the Assistant Director, ORE, use the ICAPS production plan as a long
range objective, the broad outline of which should be attained as soon as
capabilities allow. It is further desired that a continuous study of
Production Programs be initiated and that the Assistant Director, ORE,
submit to the Chief of ICAPS by 1 June his suggested program for the
quarter commencing 1 July 1947. Tht: Chief of ICAPS will by 15 June sub-
mit to the Director his comments and suggested revisions or additions
to the ORE proposed program. In this-connection thorough consideration
should be given to the matters contained in the ICAPS Production Plan.
The revised program should stress an aggressive approach and positive
action in the production of intelligence on a planned basis. The Program
should also visualize the maximum in intelligence production, both in
quality and quantity and provide for the long term view.
