DATE: 6 Dec 46
FROM : Assistant -xecutive officer
SUBJECT: Reproduction Facilities
Assistant 3xecutive Officer for
Collection and Dissemination.
STAT
1. I have discussed the memo of 25 November from the 3xecutive for
P & A, Subject: Reproduction Facilities, with the three branches.
2. Both the Requirements and Collection Branches, feel that they do
not anticipate any requirements for reproduction within the next six months.
3. Dissemination Branch feels that the bulk of their intelligence
information which would require reproduction should be in priority B. However,
occasionally a situation would arise when these reports would require an A
priority. Consequently we should recommend to P & A that provision to grant
this priority should be made when these occasions arise.
4. Dissemination Branch, seems to feel that it was too difficult to
estimate at this point the accurate amount of reproduction that they will
need. That P & A Branch should use for the basis for their planning the
estimates which would be furnished by the Office of Operations and the Office
of Special Operations for the reproduction of their reports and studies.
5. Dissemination Branch seems to feel that the one week which will be
required to reproduce intelligence information on B priority is too long,
and that we should recommend that this time-lag be shortened if possible.

DISSEMINATION BRANCH
6 December 1946
MEMORANDUM FOR:
Assistant Executive, OCD
SUBJECT: Reproduction Priorities
1. Reference is made to Memorandum of 25 November
1946, same subject, in which he requests that the several offices in-
dicate: (a) the regular reports that will require reproduction, method
of reproduction, the estimated number of pages and estimated number
of copies, the urgency involed; and (b) an estimate on a monthly basis
of the number of pages of the various types of reproduction which will
be required to 30 June 1947.
2. I believe that the bulk of all intelligence information mater-
ial which will require reproduction should be in "B" priority. However,
certain intelligence information reports will require "A" priority, and
provision should be made to take care of these demands.
3. The volume is difficult to estimate at this point, and it
depends entirely on the flow from 00 and OSO. The Office of Personnel
and Administration could use the estimates furnished by 00 and OSO
in response to the P & A memorandum of 25 November 1946, same subject
to arrive at a basis of required reproduction.
4. A valid estimate based on IAB Department figures might be
established on the basis of figures provided by the IAB Departments,
attached as Tab A.
4 It seems to me that the week required for reproduction of intelli-
gence information on priority "is" will delay to a considerable extent
the delivery of intelligence information and that steps should be taken
