SUBJECT : Atlas Program
1. To comply with Agency policy of making unclassified
publications available to the public, the Printing i Photography
Division (P&PD) has been providing mechanical reproductions to
,the Covernmeat Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents
(GPO/Sup Does) for supplemental printing for public sale. L der
this procedure there is a duplication of effort in the production
cycle inasmuch as both CIA and GPO produce a similar product for
their respective customers. This separate printing is mandated
by a stipulation that the Sup Does sales outlets are to be used
only for material processed through GPO. Publications actually
printed within the Agency cannot be offered for public sale through
the Sup Does without issuance of a waiver. Duplication is inherent
under this established procedure.
2. For some time P&PD and GPO representatives have recognized
the duplication of effort with the resultant cost inefficiencies
in having atlases intended for the Intelligence Community printed
internally and, having a supplemental printing of copies by a
commercial printer to be sold through the Sup Does channels. In
this supplemental printing the CPO administrative costs incurred in
preparing the, bid and awarding the contract as well as the profit
of the commercial printer must be absorbed in the selling price of
the publication.
3. To overcome the duplication of effort GPO has requested
PbPD to print all atlases. At the time of printing, GPO proposes
to forward a requisition to P&PD specifying the number of copies
to print for public sale through Sup Does. The proposal is based
on reimbursement P&PD will charge GPO for labor and material for
the added press run and binding operation plus 822 for overhead.

4. The proposal for P&PD to produce both the internal and
public sales copies is a definite improvement over the present
system. It eliminates the need for continuous negotiations
between P&PD and GPO, as well as the Xa Rybidding process prior
to awarding the contract. Unquestionably,. the duration of the
printing production cycle will be shortened. Price par copy
would be reduced by approximately 50% due to the savings resulting
from eliminating duplicate processes.
S. On the negative side, P&PD will have an additional burden
with longer press and bindery production runs. However, it is
not intended that these unclassified publications will conflict-
with priority commitments. Essentially, the atlases will be produced
on a nonpriority basis. P&PD feels that the advantages to be gained
by the Government far outweigh the minimal production problems which
may be entailed in producing the atlases..
6. P&PD, therefore, recommends that the GPO proposal be
accepted. Your concurrence is requested. A waiver from GPO concurring
in the proposal is attached. As you will note in the attachment,
GPO has obtained a waiver to Title 44 from the Joint Committee on
Printing.

DATE: April 14, 1976
SUBJECT: World Atlases, Volume I, Western Hemisphere
In conversation with Mr. Beach, Assistant Staff Director, Joint
Committee on Printing, he stated that the CIA was considered exempt
from the provisions of Title 44 U.S.C. Therefore, the purchase of
the Atlases in question from the CIA for sale by the Superintendent
of Documents did not violate the intent of those Regulations. We
were given permission to proceed.

Mike: we did not take the..
initiative in this matter. We
serve as an intermediary between
OGCR and GPO due to our liaison
responsibilities with the Public
Printer. OGCR interest is two-
fold: first, they want their
unclassified products roads
available to the public; second,
they want these products available
on a timely basis to avoid a rash
of requests from the public once
it hits the Government recipients.
It has taken GPO up to 6 months
to contract and obtain copies for
public sale.
This is obviously a policy
matter. We might even need a
legal opinion? I don't know what
authority .TCP has to waive our
obligations under Title 44, I
guess they can,

re Joint Committee on Printing, attached
1. This memorandum confirms conversations with the Deputy
Director of Logistics and Deputy Chief, Printing and Photography
Division, Office of Logistics (P&PD/OL), and the undersigned,
11 May 1976, concerning the legality of printing additional
Atlases beyond the Agency's need for distribution and sale by
Superintendent of Documents. The facts relevant to the problem
have been detailed in reference (b) and need not be repeated
here. It is understood that the particular Atlas is a unique
document not available in like form elsewhere.
2. Reference (c) caused concern since Mr. R. J. McKendry,
Government Printing Office (GPO), in response to inquiry by
P&PD as to whether or not that division could properly print
the additional Atlases, stated that the Agency was "exempt"
from the provisions of Title 44 U.S.C. according to Mr. Paul
Peach, Staff Assistant for the Joint Committee on Printing
(JCP). Title 44 U.S.C., it should be noted, covers Public.
Printing and Documents. Title 44 U.S.C. 101 states the JCP
shall consist of the chairman and two members of the Committee
on Rules and Administration of the Senate and the chairman and
two members of the Committee on House Administration of the
House. Currently its membership is detailed in reference (d),
attached.

3. In an effort to ascertain the validity of the pro-

contacted the JCP. He was informed by
Mr. Denver Dic enson, Staff Assistant and Alternate Staff
Director, of the same information as Mr. Paul Peach report

tail of the proposed printing of the Atlases, Mr. Dickenson
reportedly saw no committee objection.
4. The undersigned does not concur with the claim of
general exemption from all provisions of Title 44.
5. It is the opinion of this Office, however, that the
proposed plan to print the Atlases is within the provisions
of Title 44 and, therefore, permissible regardless of whether
or not the Agency is exempt from Title 44.
6. There are two basic issues present in this case,
namely, the right to print and the right to sell printed mater-
That provision is not 1111 V11J1J 4G11L 1-1A ' . of the
ch essentially provides all printing . .
Government shall be done at the Government Printing Office,
except
(1) classes of work the Joint Committee on Printing
considers to be urgent or necessary to have done else-
where; and
(2) printing in field printing plants . . . if
approved by the Joint Committee on Printing.
To this end, 44 U.S.C. 103 provides that the JCP:
may use any measures it considers necessary to remedy
neglect, delay, duplication, or wastes in the public
printing and binding and the distribution of Government
publications.
It is clear from the recent Office of Legislative Counsel
inquiry that such measures have been employed by the JCP in
permitting PF1PD press facilities to make the extra press run.

7. Furthermore, 44 U.S.C. 1702 states:
. . When an officer of the Government having in
his charge documents published for sale desires to be
relieved of them, he may turn them over to the Super-
intendent of Documents, who shall receive and sell them
under this section. Moneys received from the sale of
the documents shall be returned to the Public Printer
on the first day of each month and be covered into the
Treasury monthly.
8. In the instant case, the Agency will merely be reim-
bursed the cost of printing the additional Atlasses by the
GPO. The Atlas will be turned over to the Superintendent
of Documents in accordance with 44 U.S.C. 1702 for sale by
that office within GPO. The low volume, high start-up costs
for GPO to solely perform the work would make the Atlas print-
ing economically undefensible without resorting to this plan.
The JCP, which by law has remedial powers to use any measures
it considers necessary to remedy neglect, . duplication
or wastes, has approved the Agency's use of its presses.
9. Therefore, for reasons detailed above, it is the
opinion of this Office that no legal objection exists to the
implementation of the Atlas program.
