SUBJECT Report of Survey of Office of Economic Research
1. Forwarded herewith is the report of our survey of OER.
Three copies have been forwarded to the Deputy Director for
Intelligence. As you will note, it is not long and does not make
many recommendations. This accurately reflects our satisfaction
with the Office.
2. We found that OER management is addressing most of the
problems that came to our attention. A distinguishing feature of
management is the readiness to review established practices and try
new approaches to old problems. We find it difficult to take issue
with the approaches being taken.
3. The report is largely descriptive. Some of the arrange-
ments struck us as different enough to record; some situations that
were developing warranted comment even though we offer no proposals
for handling them differently than management was doing. In one or
two instances we describe situations, making low-key suggestions
but refraining from formal recommendations that would elevate them
to a level of importance that they do not deserve. In the same
vein, the two recommendations that we do make should not be viewed
as matters of the first magnitude. They simply are all that seemed
to us to be worth formal notice. Obviously we think things are
going well, with a nice balance between traditional line-of-command
management and considerable freedom on the part of a very profes-
sional body of employees.
4. We have discussed the report with the Director of OER and
it should not require much time for him to respond to it. It is
suggested that the Deputy Director for Intelligence be requested to
submit his comments within thirty days.
