sUBjE,cr: Effect of Potential Two Percent Cut in Staffing
on TAS
DATE: 6 October 1958
1. Pursuant to your request we have reviewed the work require-
ments of this Staff to determine the effect of a potential two percent
25X9A2 reduction in the staffing.
2. The resent approved positions assigned to this Staff comprise M
time basis.
3. In the case of a small component like TAS, the effect of a
reduction is much more difficult to sustain than it would be to a larger
organizational segment as the cut of one position, which is the minimum,
would represent a reduction of more than seven percent.
4. Assuming such a cut were made in the complement of TAS, certain
important staff project assignments would have to be deferred, abandoned
or accomplished by assignment to other components. TAS is currently
in process of performing many projects of substantial importance, each
of which should be expedited as much as possible. All of the projects
currently in process are covered in the Staff Project Assignment Report
(green binder) as of 31 August which has been transmitted to you. For
your convenience, some of the more important are listed below:
a. Recasting of regulations and handbooks i
series, and under a special request of the DD/S
series.
b. Assistance in implementing procedural changes under the
F.M.I. Program.
c. Full time assignment of one Staff member to the Management
Staff Feasibility Team*
d. Review of functions of Budget and Fiscal Officers to
establish uniform Statement of Functions.

e. Development and installation of procedure for GEHA to
facilitate balancing of accounts.
f. Current service to special projects relative to accounting
and fiscal matters.
. Implementation of Type I and Type II FPA at all overseas
_____________________activities.
5. To assist you in accomplishing the objective of a two percent
reduction it would seem that the only possible way that this staff
could contribute without appreciably affecting the work program would
be by a utilisation of the clerical position which is partially de-
tailed to this staff to a greater extent by FAB or other Comptroller
segments.
