MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Suppo
SUBJECT 1967 Budget Mark
1. The Bureau of the Budget has now acted on the Agency's
1967 budget request. The line items which the Bureau has marked
for reduction or elimination in your Directorate are listed at
TAB A.
2. As you know, the groundrules call for an Agency response
back to the Bureau within 48 hours. Therefore, would you please
give this list your immediate attention, and prepare brief comments
on the implications of taking such cuts. Where appropriate, you
are invited to single out specific items which you would recommend
for formal reclama action by the Director; these items must, of
course, be accompanied by a strong supporting argument.
3. Your special attention is directed to the personnel positions
which the Bureau has denied in your 1967 request. It should be
remembered that the Bureau in a recent action on 1966 personnel
levels disallowed some =personnel positions (Agency-wide) we had
sought as an add-on in 1966. This disallowance carries over
into the Bureau's 1967 mark (both the positions and the related
dollars . This fact should be taken into account in studying thi.;
problem: in other words you should be sure you are starting from
the true 1966 position allocations. (Your staff has this information.)
4. The Bureau, at Presidential direction, has also reduced
travel budgets on a Government-wide basis, according to a factored
25X1
25X9
formula. The Agency's over-all travel request 25X1
relatively will be reduced by $535,000, but the "spread of this
small decrease has not yet been computed..
5. The last part of this exercise requires an examination of
the implications of the further reductions listed at TAB B. The
Bureau advises that there is a possibility that in subsequent
discussions between Mr. Schultze and the President further retrench-
ments may be called for. The Bureau has selected the items at TAB B

from your Directorate's budget as their candidates for further
downward adjustment, if that becomes necessary. If after studying
this aspect of the problem you determine that reductions elsewhere
in your program could be accomplished more readily, then you are
invited to make substitutions in the TAB B list. The implications
of cuts in these new areas should, of course, also be stated.
6. I would like to meet with you or your representative on
these matters at 1400 on Thursday, 2 December in the O/PPB Conference
Room. Please concur in this arrangement via telephone.
