MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, ORR
SUBJECT Value of DDI Reports Received
From Vietnam
1. We are currently reviewing the commitment of
twenty-four (24) DDI employees to the Collation Branch
in Vietnam. A recommendation is under consideration
to reduce this strength by half, but to increase the
quality and experience of new employees sent as
replacements. Before we discuss the proposal with
FE, we need from you answers to the following questions:
a. What do you now receive from the
Collation Branch?
b. How valuable is it to your production
and intelligence?
c. What of value would you expect to
receive if we reduced our strength,
but increased the quality of personnel
in Vietnam?
2. I have also asked for reports on this subject
from OBI, OCI, and OCR to be in to me by close of business
29 November. I will review with you your report and the 25X1A
other three on 30 November so that we can determine
whether you should discuss this matter with appropriate
25X1A officials at the Conference next
month. report is attached to provide
you with the backgroun of our problems.
