SUBJECT: Project -
1. Reference your memoranda, same subject, dated 16 and 19 January,
Foreign Documents Branch is at present believed to be capable of starting
2 5X1A
on the requirements for Project is specified by the Assistant Direc-
tor, ORE, in his memorandum of 1L January. The continuing and future
adequacy of Foreign Documents Branch to fulfill the commitment of prepar-
ing a complete bibliography of Soviet periodicals of intelligence value
depends on factors which are difficult to assess accurately. Insofar as
such factors as workload, availability of personnel, and the priority situa-
tion are predictable, however, Foreign Documents Branch should be able to
undertake this additional responsibility on a continuing basis.
2. Reference Paragraph lc of your memorandum of 19 January, Foreign
25X1A Documents Branch is currently unable to undertake the exploitation of all
the uncatalogued and unshelved Soviet publications now on hand in the
Library of Congress, since it is believed that this material represents
the accumulation of approximately four years. The ORE requirements for
25X1A project ~ refer specifically to ticurrent Soviet periodicals".
3. Implementation of Project - has been discussed with representa-
tives of the Assistant Directors of i'Leports and Estimates and Collection and
Dissemination. Requirements Branch, OGD, believes that the project can be
assigned a high enough priority to allow Foreign Documents Branch to keep up
to date Yaith the material.
