MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Classification and Wage Division
1. At the time the Message Center T/O was established, no
provision was made for a Distribution and Typing Section.
2. Our experience over the past 9 months has demonstrated
an acute need for grouping our distribution and typing personnel
into a section headed by a chief and assisted by senior section
personnel on an around -the -clock basis. Two main factors have
contributed to our recognition of the need for a full-time coverage of
this position. They are:
(a) The nature and scope of the reorganization of the
Clandestine Services and the resulting effect on
cable distribution.
(b) The scope of training an unusually large number
of new personnel in Message Center distribution
and typing procedures. '
The effect of the 1 August 1952 reorganization of the-Clandestine
Services has been to increase to tremendous proportions the job of
organizing and compiling cable requirements into systematic arrange-
ment and to train both old and new personnel to recognize the signifi-
cance of each Clandestine Service organizational change. The effect
of expanding our staff with new personnel to the extent of more than
50 per cent has been to increase many times our training problem.
3. Both of these major responsibilities have now been organized
and assigned full time to an Acting Chief of Distribution and Typing
Section.
