1. Attached is a copy of a directive to the Inspector
General on the case of the latest TACKLE loss. There are
a number of unanswered questions and differences on view-
point and guidance contained in the memoranda I received
from OSA and NPIC. Jack Farman has assigned several of
his best men to this task and is proceeding along the lines
indicated by me.
2. This initial survey will initiate the IG Staff into all
the various facets of NPIC on a purely in-house basis. That
staff will then serve as the CIA nucleus, augmented as neces-
sary from assets of the DD/I and the DD/S&T, and fully sup-
ported by outside talent, both managerial and technical, to
assist to the total survey of NPIC as to organization, controls,
techniques, and adequacy of performance.
3. Accordingly, we may expect two studies in sequence --
the first on the TACKLE lose and, after completion of that, the
initiation of a comprehensive review of NPIC. The above is for
your information; no action is required.
