1. During FY 1964 the Agency 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 Directorates, 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.
