A. Major Research and Technical Support Ac, t
1. The Geography Division completed and disseminated eigl":t
Geographic Support Projects- GP 60-81:L, The Katat , was don or a
high-priority, short-deadline basin as a component o a briefing being
prepared for Democratic Presidential Nominee Kennedy at RyanniR, Port
on 23 July and for the National Security Council meeting on 25 July;
it consisted of a two-page report on the viability of the former Pelgim
Congo and of its mineral producing areas. Two of the other GP reports
were done in support of the GM Task Force, and one was a contribution
to the OCI Daily.
9. The Cartography Division accepted requests for 133 maps and
charts and completed M. Although requests were slightly less than
the previous month, over-all demands upon the Division continued rt a
high average rate and did not reflect the anticipated suvmer decline
due to vacations. D/GC is currently on schedule for F'! 1961 eonO tments
for the NIS program. Five maps on the Far East Area were prepared for
two separate Iatioral Estimates; four maps accompanied SNIE 43-60 on the
East China Area, and one map on Communist-China: R was done for
PIE 13-60.
3. Production of maps on Africa assumed major importance during
the month. High-priority support was given to Department of Stato
requests for a new administrative map of Africa, a general reference
mp of the new Republic of the Congo, and an ethnic groups may on the
Congo. In addition, a m:p of South Africa and one on the Horn of

4? An c~.:sperimental printing of the first all-color terrain map
was published and, is available through the map Library Division (Map
#29053). This may on Cuba represents the Cartography Division's efforts
to improve graphic representation of the earth's surface, as well as
the technical quality of maps having this type intelligence information.
5- The May Library Division forwarded, 29,071 items to requesters
in response to 1,779 requests for maps, related geographic publications,
and reference information. Requests for maps on the Belgian Congo and
for Africa as a whole were particularly heavy during the month. Signifi-
cant items procured during the month included: Part 2 of the two-part
"Moscow Telephone Directory", 1960, and a new Haack wall map of Chime,

5. A letter was received from the Director of the Institute of
Geology, Geophysics, and Geography, of the Rumanian Academy, accepting
the proposal of a map exchange with the Department of State, through
the office of the Coordinator for Maps. This is the first such exchange
with a Rumanian agency. ,
6. A back-up paper was prepared, by GG/X for CSS on possible
Soviet plans to place submerged instruments in the Gulf Stream for long
periods as part of a scheme to establish recoverable positions for
missile launching operations. The initial paper prepared, by OCI did

the Navy and a decision is to be made on whether a separate article is
to be prepared for the OCI Weekly.
7. The delivered preliminary sketches
of ll of the pee a purpose maps which they are preparing under con-
tract for th C ography Division. Sketches of the other 6 will be
Prepared by upon receipt of additional instructions from D/C, which

0RB Requirements Directives was requested of D/GC in July. Because of
the workload, no firm commitment for supporting this new series was made.
However, sufficient man-hours were committed to process the initial
requests in order to evaluate the over-all effect of this project. Until
this study is made, the Division is reluctant to accept the project on a
scheduled basis.
10. A concerted effort is being made by the Procurement Branch,
D/GL, to build up stocks of maps on Africa, particularly the Ccago, for
the Reference Collection.

Month of July 1960
A. Major Research and Technical. Support Activity
Summary of Cartographic Production and Accomplishments:
In July the Division completed 129 maps and charts and accepted
requests for 133 from the various components of the Agency and the
Department of State. Completions during the previous month of June
totaled 132. Although requests were less than the previous month,
over-all demands upon the Division continued at a high average rate and
did not reflect the anticipated summer decline due to vacations. However,
with so many Area personnel attending we 25X1 X4
can expect a decline in production in August.
Production of maps on Africa assumed major importance during July.
High priority support was given to Department of state requests for a
new administrative map of Africa, a general reference map of the new
Republic of the Congo and an ethnic groups map on the Congo. In addition
a map of South Africa and one on the Horn of Africa were produced for
the Office of National Estimates. Also, on urgent requests from the Map
Library for up-to-date maps on Africa, a number of country maps being
prepared for OCI Handbooks were processed through reproduction for Library
use.
The month was also noteworthy for the completion of numerous NIB maps,
particularly the base maps which are used by contributory agencies to the
NIS program and for which D/GC has primary rerponsibility. In addition
to 7 final maps, the Division completed 2 regular standard bases, 5 page
size bases, 4 Chapter 11 bases, 2 section cover maps, and 1 Chapter I cover
map. The Division is currently on schedule for Ff '61 commitments for the
program-
An experimental printing of the first all-color terrain map was
published during the month and is available through the Map Library
(map #29053). This map on Cuba represents the Division's efforts to
improve graphic representation of the earth's surface, as veil as the
technical quality of maps having this type intelligence information.
Five: maps on the Par East Area were prepared for two separate
National Estimates. Four maps accompanied SNIE 43-60 on the East China
Area and one map on Communist China Railroads for NIE 13-60. These were
in addition to those prepared for ONE on Africa.

A new project requiring the preparation of maps to accompany ORR
Requirements Directives was requested of the Division in July. Because
of workload no commitment for taking on this new series was made.
However, sufficient capabilities were committed to process the initial

In the last week of June the ES Committee chewged the F f 1961
schedules for Chapter I Annuals, originally established on 15 March 1960.
The changes included a shift of NIS 5 from the first position on the
schedule to March 1961. Since Section 19 contributions to NIB 5 were
due on 15 July, some of them were already acopleted and others were in
preparation. The shift therefore will necessitate additional research
and a rewrite as of February 1961. 'It is hoped that any future changes
in scheduling will give greater consideration to research work already
completed or well underway.
The. lack of potential replacement for , who is to 25X1 A98

Increasing concern. Also, word has been received that 25X1A9a
