COMP--01 

4718 

M/R: On 22 November 1960, Admiral Frost approved the recommendation 

made by Mr. Barlow (R/D) that the Agency submit a recl.ama for $2.6 

million in F'i 1962 HIYr/E Appropriation. The initial recl.ama statement 

prepared by R/D, and provided to COMP on 23 November, was comprised 

of items which represented either new or expanded programs i'rom the 

budget originally submitted to SECDEF/OOB. This matter was presented 

to Dr, Tordella by the Comptroller on 23 November. Dr, Tordella 

directed that the reclama be made only on the basis of items previously 

included in the NSA F'f 1962 Budget. A revised reclama conforming with 

Dr. Tordella's decision was provided to COMP by R/D on 25 November. 

This statement has been used, substantially as submitted, as the 

inclosure to this letter. In addition, paragraph 3 of the letter was 

inserted verbatim at R/D's request.
