1. It is my understanding that under present arrange-
25X1A5a1 ments the is exploiting
Chinese Mainland press for the immediate benefit of the
Counsul General and his staff and to meet requirements
from the Department of State. The State Department is not
transmitting to the reading service the requirements of
other agencies.
2. it is also my understanding that these same news-
papers, upon receipt by FDD, are exploited to meet require-
ments from CIA and the other agencies, excepting the State
Department.
3. It would be appreciated if CIA/FDD would consult
with the State Department to see whether it would be more
efficient to have the non-State Department requirements
25X1A5a1 applied in order that those same
newspapers do not need to be rehandled at Headquarters by
FDD. Such anarrangement, if possible, would have the benefit
of an earlier or more prompt availability of the information in
such newspapers for the community.

4. (My own hunch is that (a) the Department won't have
the personnel to do this and (b) even if they do, in regard to the
material that ORR wants, the time element is not important
because ORR is not a current intelligence organization; (c) it
will be shown that FDD would have to go over the material
anyway for requirements such as for the DDP, since the total
load would be too much 25X1A5a1
