9 Statement on Status of IV Activity - UG/AX-21, 12 May 1954
3. The degree to which FDIC has succeeded in fulfilling its mission
may be summarized briefly under the several assigned activities in its
Terae of Reference, as follows:
a) ArrarsaO to the mobilization of the economic data and analysis
relevant to appropriate M
~eU-of he #D , ZDIC success in this assigned
activity has been dependent upon the degree to rchich IWAC components
(Includ,irig its 'clerking Groups and member agencies) have been willing
use RDIC facilities, under procedures defined in RDAC D.48, in drawing
upon intelli, encee resources of the Government, EDACFe use of EDIC is
re lectet in the initiation of "cases" where IDA.C needs are made known.
In recent months there has been a marked. decline in this utilization.
3etwe9n July 195' and Janu< ry 1954,, a total. of 75 cases were initiated,
One ease was subssitte-et to DIC on 20 October 1954., Only four cases have
been initiated subsequently, 'ithin the context of mobilizing economic
data, mention shculd be made of the contributions which have been made
t DIC subgroups in the production of specific reports. It would appear
that there should be increased use of the ssubgfaup concept on problems
act of direct concern to all member agencies,
b) Ererare or ar ram, for the preparation of reports which
present the best available economic intelligence on problems of concern
