New Communist China Daily Report for
FBIS
1.- This Memorandum is for your information only. ,
2. .By memorandum dated.6 December 1966 the Director, Foreign
Broadcast Information Service notified us of the need to increase
the daily total number of pages of FBIS matei.ial by approximately
35. We replied tO this request by memorandum dated 23 December
1966 informing FBIS that,llbecaUse of severe budget limitations
resulting from the pending move' into the new printing services
building, no funds were available this fiscal year with which to
purchase additional equipment needed to print the increased num-
ber of pages. They were also informed that because of tight
personnel ceilings it would not be possible for PSD to assign
additional people to this operation at this time. We told. them
that we would review the situation early in the next fiscal year
.to determine if a new press could be purchased and if personnel
could be made available for assignment to this operation.
3. Nothing was heard from FBIS followingiour memo until
26 January 1967, when the Chief, Editorial Division, FBIS,
contacted the Chief, Printing Services Division by telephone
to see if PSD could, with its present equipment and personnel,
undertake to print a second Far East publication devoted entirely
to Communist China. It was determined that since this publica-
tion would be drawn primarily, from the-present Far East publica-
tion very little additional presswork would be necessary. There
would, however, be additional work in the binding of the pub-
lications. PSD agreed to undertake this additional work and
is now producing the additional publication on a daily basis.

SUBJECT: Requested Increase in FBIS Daily Reports
4. After your telephone call of 11 February 1967 to the Chief,
Printing Services Division regarding a conversation that you had
with Mr. Edward Proctor of DDI on the necessity for an additional
increase in the FBIS daily reports, the Chief, PSD has undertaken to
determine whether or not this additional work could be done with
existing resources prior to next fiscal year. A discussion of this
matter was held with the Deputy Director, FBIS who seemed surprised
that Mr. Proctor had mentioned the matter to you. We gather from
this that FBIS has been satisfied to wait until early in next fiscal
year for a review of the situation as proposed in our memorandum of
23 December 1966. The Chief, PSD informs me that since the capa-
bility of the night force is fully utilized in producing the publi-
cations as they now stand it will not be possible to increase the
publications as requested by using only this work force. The in-
crease could be undertaken immediately by the assignment of one
press operator on the day shift to spend each afternoon working on
these publications. FBIS has indicated that they will be able to
get sufficient plates to the plant by noon each day to make this
arrangement possible.
5. PSD has purposely avoided an arrangement such as that men-
tioned above because of the severe limitations of personnel in this
Division. Such an arrangement will, of course, take the additional
employee off of other Agency work with a resultant loss of produc-
tion where badly needed. We believe that this is the only way that
we can handle the requested increase with our existing resources in
the present location. After the move of the PSDI plants to Langley
the FBIS operation will be located in the basement plant of the
headquarters building. At this time we hope to have a little addi-
tional flexibility in that there will be other employees working
the night shift in this plant. We are hopeful that at that time
we will be able to handle the increased workload by the night force
alone and not have to utilize a day employee as outlined above. We
had this in mind When proposing to FBIS that we review the situa-
tion early in next fiscal year.
6. As indicated above we would prefer to undertake the in-
creased FBIS printing after the relocation of this printing oper-
ation to the basement plant sometime after the first of next
fiscal year. But since Mr. Proctor has indicated to you that
the situation is critical we are prepared to undertake the increas-
ed printing immediately if you desire us to do so.

MEMORANDUM FOR:' Director of Logistics
SUBJECT: ' FBIS Daily Reports
REFERENCE: FBIS.PSD Production Agreement 30 October 1964
1. Production of the PBIS Daily Report is governed by the.
FBIS-PSD production agreement of 30 October 1964. This agreementi., -
effective 1 January 1965, is valid for three years but provides " :;
for revision by mutual consent. The purpose ot this memorandum
is to indicate that a revision will be required for PY-68.
. .
2. FBIS operational planning will result in an increase of
publishable material by July 1967. This increase, coupled with
material already being received which merits publication, will
amount to some 35 pages per day that cannot be accommodated_
_
within present page limitations.
? ??
? '
3. It is proposed that the total daily maximum be increased
from 340 to 375 pages to'insure that significant material will
not be delayed or discarded because of the present ceiling.
4. Further revision of the agreement will be required if, as
" is anticipated, the bulk of the additional material deals with
the Par East. Because of the 88-page technical limitation on
the size ot each of the five daily publications, the Par East
Daily Report may have to be divided into two publications of
approximately equal size.

? 2. In order to handle on increase in FBIS Daily Reports
it will be necessary for the Printing Services Division to acquire
an additional press. Because of the expense of moving into the
new Printing Services Division building later in this fiscal year
? there ore no FY 1967 funds available with which to purchase this
additional press. Depending upon the amount of money available
in the py 1968 Printing Services Division budget consideration will?
be given to ordering this press early in Fy 1968,
3. The Office of Logistics has recently taken rather .severe
cute in personnel ceiling. Printing Services Division has, of
course, taken aportion of this overall personnel cut. Consequently,
it will not be possible to assign additional personnel .to the FBIS

tional press in FY 1968 we will determine it the additional VMS,
Daily Report workload mute performed by the available personnel.
The Chief, Printing; Services Division, will then contact yoy to
work out any possible revision in the 1131134,E0 Production Agreement. .

for FBIS. In this conversation it was agreed that PSD would undertake
this new publication subject to the following conditions:

Report supplements;
(b) that total number of pages in all volumes of the Daily
Report remain unchanged, or as set forth in Reference (a) above;

pressures to increase number .of Daily Report copies. We therefore

Memorandum
TO :Chief, Printing Services Division
FROM
:Superintendent Plant No. 1
SUBJECT: Page Increase in the FBIS Daily Reports
DATE: 15 December 1966
The request from the Director of FBIS to-increase the
number of pages in the FBIS Daily Reports from 340 to 375
cannot:be-absOrbed by the present staff or equipment in this
operation.
The 3 presses used in this operation are fully utilized
and when any additional printing is required such as supplements,
special reports, etc., they are taxed to the fullest and any
minor breakdown or paper trouble means working over to get the
reports out on schedule. We have been very fortunate in this
operation never to have had a serious breakdown which would
have prevented these reports from being distributed on time.
To accomplish what is desired by the Director of FBIS, we
should install a fourth press and if at all possible increase
the staff by one more employee. This will give the operation
the additional capability in the pressroom that will be necessary
as well as backstop the personnel situation when employees are
sick or on leave of any kind. Also, strict adherence to our
agreement with FBIS must be maintainedeuch as, reducing the
number of pages in the reports by the tame number of pages that
are put into th Supplements or any other Special Reports. Also,
strict compliance with our agreement about the number of copies
that are to be printed of each report and reduce the number of
pages in the reports when a 10% increase in the number of .copies
are necessary for wider distribution. This must be done in their
operation without us having to inform theme
I believe if this is done we can take care of the request
from the Director of FBIS.
