OFFICE OF CURRENT INTELLIGENCE
REALIGNMENT OF THE OCI ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

zation will take effect as of this date. The re-
structuring applies equally to staffs, area analytical
units, and support components as indicated in the at-
tached schematic chart.
2. The staff structure is changed as follows:
a. The post of Special Assistant to the D/OCI
for Management is created. This officer will
head the Management Staff, which will include
the Plans and Technology Officer, the ca-
reer Development Officer, and the Adminis-
trative Staff. In addition, he will perform
certain substantive duties for the D/OCI.
b. A Research Staff, whose Chief will report
to the D/OCI, is created. The former Spe-
cial Assistant for Research will become the
Deputy Chief for NIS. The Office Historical
Project will be associated with the Research
Staff. This Staff will be the subject of
a separate notice.
c. The Special, Presentations, and Intelligence
Information Staffs are dissolved.
d. The Special Assistant to the D/OCI for Pro-
duction will become Chief of a Production
Staff. This staff will include the Special
Assistant for the CIB9 the personnel and

e. The President's Daily Brief group, desig-
nated the Special Projects Staff, will
report directly to the D/OCI.
3. The Area structure is changed as follows:
a. All four Areas are redesignated as Divi-
sions.
b. Full-time Deputy Division Chief positions are
established. Positions are also established
for Deputy Branch Chiefs, not necessarily
full-time; many of these positions will not
be filled immediately.
c. All present divisions are dissolved. In or-
ders however, to coordinate office reporting
on major targets, positions are established
for a Senior Analyst for Soviet Affairs and
a Senior Analyst for Chinese Affairs on the
staffs of their respective division chiefs.
d. In the Far East Division, the former Indo-
China Division, less the Thailand-Laos-Cam-
bodia Branch, is reconstituted as a Vietnam
Task Force. The TLC Branch is merged with
Southeast Asia Branch. Responsibility for
Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao is transferred
to China Foreign Policy Branch.
e. In the European Division, the 25X6
Branch and the France-Italy-Iberia Branch
are merged as the Southern Europe 25X6
The North and Central Europe Branch is re-
designated Northern Europe Branch. The two
branches of the former East European Division
are merged as the Eastern European Branch.
f. In the Middle East-Africa Division there will
be two Deputy chiefs, one for Middle East
and one for Africa. While this will make
the elimination of these two divisions less
meaningful, it is necessary to handle the
interdepartmental Group and NIS load.
