MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary, CIA Management Committee
SUBJECT DDI Comment on Report of IG Survey of OER
1. The DDI comment on the report of the IG survey of OER is
completely responsive, both in terms of the general discussion of
questions that did not result in formal recommendations and in the
response to the two formal proposals that were made.
2. The new practice of preparing typescript reports of
research, without subjecting the paper to the detailed review
procedure for publication, should materially reduce the workload
on the production machinery of the office. There is nothing wrong
in OER doing research for its own reference -?- writing its own
reference library in a sense. Many complex economic problems take
considerable time to research, and if certain work has been done in
anticipation of requirements, it will strengthen the responsiveness
of the office under the tighter deadlines that characterize much of
the work that OER now does for its customers.
3. We note particularly the response to Recommendation No. 2.
We realize the difficulty in developing reliable and useful evalua-
tions from readers of the Agency's intelligence production. Our
suggestion of an organized program of selective elicitation from
consumers derived, in part, from the existence of OER's network of
contacts in the community. The stated purpose of using this re-
source for this purpose is what we had in mind.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. lVans
As_we discussed, the ICS's Report on OER
gave special attention to how the Office handled
its requirements. This was considered a key
aspect of the job OER had to do, and we gave it a
good deal of space in what was a relatively short
report. References on the issue areb_elow:
ages 12-14 (paragraphs 1-4, Section II).
ages 16-19 (paragraphs 1-6, Section III).
Pages 21-22 (paragraph 12, Section III).
age 26 (paragraph 2, Section V).
ages 32-33 (All of Section VI).
