SUBJECT: Reorganization of the Support Functions at Headquarters
ILLEGIB
1. Recently a change in organizational structure was ordered by
In effect, this brought under one roof all the support type
MOM 25X1A func ions. One result of this reorganization is reflected in the change
in title of the Chief, -, and the new title is shown as Identity 1 25X1A2g
in an accompanying dispatch. Three additional components were placed 25X1A2g
under the Chief, and their titles are indicated as Identities 2
through G.. 25X1 A2g
2 The Administration Office for heretofore headed by
25X1A2e who is shortly going overseas PCS has been amalgamated 25X1A2e
25X1A2g into the over-all support mechanism of now heads
this office as Identity 5, representing the Chief, and continues 25X1A2g
25X1A2e
to function in the location formerly occupied by In addition
25X1A2e to his purely support functions, will continue to exercise certain 25X1A2e
25X1A2g of the delegations from Chief, - heretofore made to Per-
25X1A2e rna,nently assigned to s staff are representatives from Identities
3, 6, and '7 to bring these support components into direct and continuous 25X1A2g
contact with - matters arising in their respective fields,
3. It is not expected that this change at headquarters, of itself,
requires any reorganization at the larger Stations or Missions. These
elements should continue to be organized and staffed in a manner consistent
With their needs.
4. Since I have accepted the responsibility for furnishing all types
of support, I wanted to take this means of assuring you, toward whom 80
per cent of our effort is directed, of my personal interest in seeing that
the support mechanism is effective. The instructions furnished to - 25X1A2e
and the components reporting to me will, I believe,., ultimately result in a
smaller volume of paper flow, permitting an increased use of personal con-
tacts in "getting the job done." This, in turn, cannot but further increase
the understanding and respect between the using and the supporting offices.
