Consultant Affairs 

ro c/s FROM Sf ASST(Mr. Friedman DATE 30 April 54 COMMENT HO. I 

R.. 

1. In connection with the responsibilities assigned me, at least :1.npl1ci1jy1 

in NSA Regulation No. 11-3, and specifically in paragraphs 3 and 4 of Section VI 

of thB.t regulation (Incl. 1), and by your D/F of 9 April 1954 (Incl. 2) 1 I have 

been looking into the D'Btter of better regulation of affairs connected with the 

e~loyment of the services of all NSA consultants, as discussed orally with you. 

I have found a number of instances which are not covered by NSA ReguJ.ation 

No. 11-3, or the D/F cited above, and in which it appears that similar coordinati 

and supervision would be highly desirable and, in some cases, necessary. 

2. The attached proposed regulation (Incl. 3) bas been drafted in consultation with Captain Holtwick with a view to acconplishing this as well as 

uncovering other suspected areas which we had neither tine nor personnel to 

explore. 

3. It is with some hesitancy that I mention my feeling that it will be 

diff'icu1t to carrJ out the program under this draft regulation without some 

rearrangements to provide the necessary additional help. Even though the regulation may be altered in detail, I gather that you approve of the general idea 

which it is designed to accomplish. I suggest that no additional spaces would 

be required for the accomplishment of the task if by some rearrangement of 

responsibilities the similar functions now carried out separately in the various 

Offices and Sta.t'f Divisions in respect to the ell!(lloynent of consultants were 

consolidated under one shop, as proposed in this regulation. I think that all 

the work involved under a consolidated set-up could be done by one conpany-grade 

officer and one secretary (stenographer). Although I am loathe to take on any 

more duties than I now have, if you should decide that the best place to put 

the function is under me, I will, of course, take it on and would put it directly 

under Lt. McDonald., who by the way, will be promoted to Captain in a week or so. 

If it is decided to add the two personnel indicated herein for the task, I suggest 

that this be done in tirne to permit them to carry out the coordination of this 

proposed regulation With the various Offices and Staff Divisions concerned. In 

view of the various unexpected things which this coordiilation may turn up, it 

will be excellent indoctrination for the additional of~icer who will assist in 

ca.rryi.ng out the provisions of the proposed regulation.
