Deputy Director (Intelligence)
Policy Guidance for Preparation and Review of
Fiscal Year 1966 Budget
1. During FY 1964 the.-ency has taken a number of important
steps in complying with the President's admonitions for economy and
efficiency. No vital operations have been impaired, productivity has
been improved, and the over-all on-duty strength reduced. In FY 1964
there has also been considerable reprogramming in the Agency, both
within and among Dirlctorates, and some elimination of marginal
programs in order to accommodate new higher priority,, efforts. With
the requirement to submit the Agency's FY 1966 budget, there is pro-
vided a further opportunity to take the kind of hard program look
requested by the President.
2. Within the next few days the Offices of your Directorate
will be called upon to prepare their FY 1966 budget estimates. It is the
Director's wish that each Deputy Director and Office Head personally
review these submissions with the utmost care to insure that they represent
a sound allocation of resources against highest priority objectives.
3. The Director has instructed that the budget reflect a decline

your programs for FY 1966 are Dollar ceilings for the
FY 1965 Financial Plan are now under review in the Office of Budget,
Program Analysis and Manpower. However, prior to the issuance of
allocations it will be necessary to provide BPAM by 15 July with the
new office break-out of your Directorate's FY 1965 manpower ceiling.
4. The achievement of these goals will require all of us to
demonstrate our management ingenuity in reshaping and reassigning
current assets to meet future demands as we see them. New priority
programs must go forward and other less important ones dropped.
Deputy Directors and Office Heads, in concert with my office, will be
expected to reprogram and effect reorganizations as necessary to
accomplish the FY 1965 and FY 1966 objectives.
