MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Document Division

SUBJECT : Appreciation for Technical Support to ISC Publication
With the revised edition published in 1960, the Intelligence Subject,
Code became a USIB sponsored publication for the use of the intelligence
community. This latest revision prepared for release in January 1962,
represents still another step in our deliberate effort to maintain a
dynamic documentation program. We have in fact combined two distinct advances:
substantive-improvements have been made through the inclusion of supplements
agreed upon by the CODIB Subcommittee on Classification, and the entire
subject and area code has been placed on punched cards. As a result, we are
now in a position to benefit from machine support in future maintenance and
reissue of the entire ISC at moderate cost.
It has been a matter of particular pleasure for me to observe the
quality of workmanship shown in the preparation of the entire project. That
work reflects not only skill, but genuine pride in accomplishment. It
merits the appreciation of this Office and the community which we serve. I
have asked that a copy of this letter be placed in the personnel folder of
these members of our staff who prepared the cards and typescript in so
excellent a manner:
The capital investment made by OCR is calculated to demonstrate the
advantages of machine support joined with the. substantive effort required to
maintain a current indexing system. Our decision to. prepare the 1962 and
subsequent editions from punched cards has been justified by the symmetry
and elegance of the text recently submitted to the printers.
