Nature, Purpose, and Scope of the NIS Program
Authority for the NIS Program
The National Intelligence Survey (NIS) Program
was established pursuant to National Security Council
Intelligence Directive No. 3. This directive provides
that:
An outline of all basic intelligence required by the
Government shall be maintained by the Central Intelli-
gence Agency (CIA) in collaboration with the appro-
priate agencies.
This outline shall be broken down into chapters,
sections, and subsections which shall be allocated as
production and maintenance responsibilities to CIA
and those agencies of the Government which are best
qualified by reason of mission, production capability,
and primary interest to assume the production and
maintenance responsibility.
This basic intelligence shall be compiled and con-
tinuously maintained in the National Intelligence
Survey to cover foreign countries, areas, or broad
special subjects as required in the interest of national
security.
The NIS shall be disseminated in such form as may
be determined by the Director of Central Intelligence
(DCI) and the agencies concerned.
The DCI shall be responsible for coordinating pro-
duction and maintenance and for accomplishing the
review, publication, and dissemination of the NIS and
shall make such requests of the agencies as are neces-
sary for proper development and maintenance of the
NIS.
Departments or agencies to be called on for con-
tributions to this undertaking may include agencies
other than those represented permanently on the
U.S. Intelligence Board (USIB).
Basic Concepts of the NIS Program
The NIS is a comprehensive digest of the basic
intelligence required for the U.S. Government. The
NIS is designed to serve fully the basic intelligence
requirements of the Department of Defense in strategic
and high level operational planning, and the Depart-
ment of State in formulating and executing U.S. foreign
policy. The NIS also serves lower planning and opera-
tional levels in the Armed Forces and the Department
of State, and in addition all other Government agencies
which require basic intelligence in the accomplishment
of their missions.
In general, the intelligence contained in the NIS is
concerned with the relatively permanent features and
fundamental characteristics of a country, area, ocean
1
basin, or broad special subject, and covers such fields
as the geographical, transportation, sociological, polit-
ical, economic, scientific, and military aspects of the
country or area or the fundamental aspects of the
broad special subject.
The NIS Program has developed in two phases:
first, the initial production of NIS on countries or areas
in accordance with Joint Chiefs of Staff priorities and
Intelligence Agency capabilities; and second, the con-
tinuous maintenance of published NIS. The two
phases proceed concurrently.
The objective of the first phase has been to produce
integrated basic intelligence on all countries and areas
within the limits of available information.
The objective of the second phase is to maintain the
continuing validity of the basic intelligence in pub-
lished NIS. Worldwide collection of information for
the NIS is a continuing process. Sections are revised
and issued under the NIS maintenance program when
sufficient information is available to improve their
adequacy as follows: 1) presenting fundamentally
changed situations in an area; 2) filling gaps in intelli-
gence sufficient to require new evaluations; or 3) incor-
porating new intelligence requirements which reflect
policy, planning, or high level operational needs. It is
the responsibility of agencies having primary interest
to place each NIS unit actively on a maintenance basis
as soon as the unit has been initially produced and to
revise the unit for publication as required by these
NIS maintenance criteria.
Production for the NIS Program requires an over-all
collection effort covering all foreign countries and 'areas
of the world simultaneously. The intelligence data
resulting from this collection and continuous processing
necessarily are more comprehensive and detailed than
those appearing in the printed NIS and constitute a
reservoir of available basic intelligence to serve the
interest of national security.
Each published NIS unit is an integral component
in the National Intelligence Survey of comprehen-
sive basic intelligence on the relevant area, but may
be published and disseminated separately for flexibility
in production, use, and maintenance.
NIS Standard Instructions
The NIS Standard Instructions are issued in imple-
mentation of National Security Council Intelligence
Directive No. 3. They contain a listing of NIS Areas,
outlines of basic intelligence requirements, allocations
of responsibility for production, and instructions for
the preparation of this intelligence. The Standard

till,11111.1.11W NIS STANDA1?D INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions were prepared by a joint committee of
representatives of the Director of Central Intelligence
and the Chiefs of Intelligence Agencies of the Depart-
ments of State, the Army, the Navy, and the Air
Force; were concurred in by the Intelligence Advisory
Committee; and were approved by the National Se-
curity Council. Changes in outline requirements and
other modifications are made when authorized and
approved by the permanent NIS Committee.
The outlines and outline guides are so drafted as to
cover all the basic intelligence aspects of the most com-
plex foreign country or area. However, the appropriate
treatment of any topic included in the outlines and
outline guides is determined by the sense in which and
the extent to which that topic applies to the particular
country or area under consideration. The outlines
and outline guides are thus flexibly adaptable to the
country or area or topic concerned.
The Standard Instructions prescribe the basic pro-
cedures to be followed in producing and maintaining
all NIS. However, when cogent reasons exist, the
instructions may be modified or supplemented to permit
appropriate treatment of any topic.
Content of the NIS
A standard NIS is divided into chapters, each of
which treats a major functional aspect of the country
or area under consideration. These chapters are
divided into sections, each of which treats a major sub-
division of the field covered by the chapter. The
standard NIS chapters are as follows:
Chapter I
Chapter II
Chapter III
Chapter IV
Chapter V
Chapter VI
Chapter VII
Chapter VIII
Chapter IX
Brief
Military Geography
Transportation and Telecommunications
Sociological
Political
Economic
Scientific
Armed Forces
Map and Chart Appraisal
The section is the NIS basic unit of production and
subsequent maintenance. Each section is individually
classified, indicates the Intelligence Agency primarily
responsible for the preparation of the section, and
carries the date on which the responsible agency
approved the material for NIS publication.
When appropriate, chapter discussion is amplified
by more detailed treatment in supplements. There
are six supplements:
Supplement I

Supplement III
Supplement IV
Supplement V
Supplement VI

JULY 1959
The NIS on Ocean Areas, entitled Marine Climate
and Oceanography, divides the world's four ocean
basins into Parts, which are units of production and
maintenance. Ocean basins are designated as follows:
NIS 104 Atlantic Basin 11 Parts
NIS 105 Pacific Basin 12 Parts
NIS 106 Indian Basin 4 Parts
NIS 107 &retie Basin 1 Part
Basic intelligence on International Communism is
covered in the NIS in two units. One unit, SUPPLE-
MENT VI (Communism), provides intelligence on the
Communist apparatus and activities in individual
countries. The second unit appears as NIS 108 (Inter-
national Communism) and gives integrated coverage
on world-wide Communist front organizations.
The standard NIS includes a gazetteer of geographic
names approved by the United States Board on Geo-
graphic Names. NIS Gazetteers are issued as sepa-
rate volumes.
A consolidated biographical reference work, Key
Personalities, is prepared for each standard NIS.
An NIS Annual is prepared to provide limited
maintenance of CHAPTER I between formal revisions of
that Chapter.
The scope of each NIS unit is set forth in detail
under the outline guides in this volume. The following
descriptions apply to CHAPTERS II?IX (specifications
for CHAPTER I and the NIS Annual are given in the
Standard Instructions for that chapter):
a) The first section of most chapters is entitled
Introduction. This section is an integrated over-view
of the subject treated in the chapter. ft also presents
general aspects which can be more appropriately so
treated than elsewhere in the chapter.
b) The first subsection of most sections is entitled
General. This subsection provides a proper approach
to the treatment of material contained in the remainder
of the section.
c) The last subsection of most sections is uni-
formly entitled Comments on Principal Sources. This
subsection serves the following purposes:
To provide an evaluation of the principal source material
used in preparing the section and thereby inform the user
of the general credibility to he accorded the intelligence
contained in the section.
To indicate those aspects of the subject about which infor-
mation is deficient or unavailable and thereby provide
general guidance for collection effort. In this connection,
only the principal sources actually used are indicated.
Separate entities within a larger N IS area, such as
the Vatican within NIS 17 (Italy), may be separately
produced as annexes to the Introduction Section of the
pertinent chapters on the larger area. Scheduling and
production of such -annexes require the prior review
and approval of the NIS Committee.

NIS Areas
For purposes of ready identification the entire world,
land and sea, except the continental United States, is
divided into numbered NIS Areas. The NIS Area
numbers and titles are given in the list below. The
NIS Area numbers combine with NIS Section, Chapter,
or Supplement numbers to identify each printed NIS
unit by convenient short title.
NIS Areas are numbered consecutively from NIS
1 through NIS 107. Land areas are covered in NIS 1
through 103. Ocean areas are covered in NIS 104
through 107. NIS 108 is titled "International Com-
ailmeminememi
munism" and provides integrated worldwide coverage
on Communist front organizations.
Political developments have required from time to
time that some of the originally designated NIS Areas
be divided into two or more new NIS Areas, which are
designated by the addition of capital letters to the
original NIS numbers. Complete NIS are being pro-
duced on these new Areas. However, in the interven-
ing period it may be necessary to refer to the original
NIS Area for coverage on certain topics.

NIS Correlation Guide
The NIS Correlation Guide indicates major inter-
relationships of NIS subject matter. The Guide is
designed primarily for use by the NIS analysts but it
should also prove useful in the review, editing, and
coordination of the NIS material as well as in the re-
vision of the NIS under the Maintenance Program.
The Guide lists under each NIS section heading the
principal topics in other sections that contain related
subject matter. The topics listed are not all exact
titles; some are titles of subsections, others merely
descriptive. Because of the complexity of the subject
matter involved, only the principal interrelationships
CONFIDENTIAL
are listed. Additional relationships can be determined
by reference to the detailed outline of other pertinent
sections.
For the Producer?the Guide is a means for obtaining
more consistency in subject matter and a better bal-
ance of treatment. It is also an aid in cross-referencing.
For the User?the Guide supplements the topical
outline and facilitates reference to other sections con-
taining related subject matter.
Consistent use of the Correlation Guide in all phases
of the NIS Program is designed to result in the produc-
tion of better integrated basic intelligence.
Chapter I-Brief
Since Chapter I is an overview of the whole NIS
area and the text is brief, some topics covering detailed
aspects are eliminated and many of the normal relation-
ships between Chapters TI through IX are not evident.
Sections of Chapter 1, in contrast with those of other
NIS chapters, are not designed to be issued separately
but are published in a single, integrated volume. The
sections depend upon Chapters II through IX for back-
ground material. The Master Index for an NIS, pub-
lished as frontis material in each Chapter I, indicates
the appropriate NIS section where the more detailed
information may be found.

Editorial Instructions
A. Transmittal of material
1. LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
NIS material delivered to the Office of Basic Intelli-
gence (OBI/CIA) requires a letter of transmittal
(original and 2 copies), The following are itemized in
the letter: number of pages of typed manuscript, in-
cluding title page, Table of Contents, List of Figures,
text, tables, caption list, number of graphic items
submitted, and apron material. The letter contains
specifications regarding control aspects of material
involved. It also specifies security classification and
control for photographs and those insert maps of which
extra copies are to be printed without the NIS ref-
erences, and the number of copies of such maps desired
by the contributor.
2. MANUSCRIPT
NIS manuscript is submitted in 3 complete assembled
copies. Each of the 3 assembled sets of manuscript
includes in sequence 1) title page, 2) Table of Contents,
3) List of Figures, 4) text, 5) tables, 6) caption list,
and 7) apron material.
Pagination begins with the first page of text of each
section and is consecutive throughout the manuscript
(including each page of the tables, which follow the
text in sequence of figure numbers). Pagination is by
other means than a numbering machine, which is re-
served for use in OBI processing.
Manuscript with more than nominal alterations is
not acceptable. Text or tabular material photostated
or similarly reproduced from printed or other material
is submitted in positive print form and legible in ap-
proximately typewriter elite size.
The supporting items, typed double space, are as
follows:
Title page, containing chapter or supplement num-
ber and title, section number and title, and the state-
ment: "This is a preliminary draft of Section --,
NIS . it has not been finally edited or reconciled
with other NIS sections and should not be reproduced.
This section has been approved for use in the NIS by
(agency), (month, year). This is the uniform date for
the entire section and will appear on each page of the
published section."
Table of Contents for each section, including the
headings appearing in the text. Modified tables of
contents are submitted to meet the requirem ents for
supplements, NIS on Ocean Areas, and consolidated
chapters. Each Table of Contents is followed by a
List of Figures which lists in sequence all figures with
the following details for each: Figure number as de-
termined by sequence in tentative placement, category
identification (Table, Photo, Map, etc.), and the cap-
tion as it appears with the figure or in abbreviated
form. This List of Figures is immediately followed by
a Contributor Statement, as approved by the NIS
Committee, showing the principal agency or agencies
contributing to and responsible for preparation of each
NIS unit.
Caption list (used for typesetting the captions of
all graphic items). Figure numbers for all tables and
graphics are listed in sequence. The exact wording of
the captions for all graphics is included. The titles of
tables are not included in the caption list since this
information is included separately with each table.
3. GRAPHIC MATERIAL
Graphic material, including photographs, is assem-
bled separately from manuscript, in 3 complete sets
with each item in numerical sequence according to fig-
ure number. The 3 sets of each item consist of an
original and 2 copies of all black and white material,
and 3 color proofs for multicolor graphic material. The
original and copies of all graphic items are plainly
marked with the NIS area number and section and fig-
ure number. The original plates of multicolor maps
are retained by contributor until receipt of memoran-
dum from OBI. These originals are then forwarded
as directed by OBI for final reproduction.
B. Text specifications
1. TYPING OF TEXT
Text is submitted in 3 copies, typed on one side only,
with the original on substantial 8 x 123 bond paper.
Duplicating process may be used if submitted copies
are thoroughly legible. Text is typed triple space.
All paragraphs without headings begin with 5-space
indent. Normal capitalization is used throughout (in-
cluding headings), without use of- continuous capitali-
zation or of underlining except for foreign or other
terms to be italicized. The last word of a typed line
is always a complete word, avoiding ending any line
with a hyphen. Manuscript conforms to the sample
pages, with margins as shown. Each manuscript
page, as shown, includes in top margin the name of
the agency of primary responsibility, date (manuscript
completion date, for processing control purposes only),
classification, and any applicable security control state-

ment, NIS number and section number. The first
page of text includes the section number andi title.
Text pages are numbered consecutively within eadh sec-
tion (not using a numbering machine, which is reserved
for OBI processing).
2. TEXT HEADINGS
Headings used in NIS text material are as follokvs:
II. Military Geography
22. Coasts and Landing Beaches
A. General
1. Coasts
a. Northern peninsula ? text follows
(1) Williams Bay ? text follows
(a) Vicinity of Port Smith ? text

(Sectioni title)
( o. 1)
(Io. 2)
(No. 3)
o. 4)
(110. 5)
($0. 6)
(No. 7)
Chapter and section titles are centered. No. 1 heads
are typed flush with left margin of text; inferior heads
are successively indented 5 typewriter spaces. No. 1
and No. 2 heads stand alone; text begins on next line
with indentation of 5 spaces and thereafter flush left.
Remaining heads each end with space, two hyphens,
space; text follows immediately on same line, with Suc-
ceeding lines beginning flush with left text margin.:
Each standard heading includes a title in addition
to letter or number. Titles are as brief as feasible.
Capitalization of chapter and section titles follows the
NIS outline. In all other headings (except for proper
names), only the initial letter of each title is eapitaWed.
Headings may stand alone when immediately fol-
lowed by the next grade of head. For certain Ma-
terial (as in Coasts and Landing Beaches), a heading
may be followed on the next line or lines by coordinates,
hydrographic chart references, etc.
Numbers used to itemize a series of items within
text carry a single parenthesis, e.g., 1).
3. REFERENCES TO FIGURES AND TEXT!
Figures (including both tables and graphic material)
are cited in the text by using figure numbers assigned
by the contributor, Reference may be integral in a
sentence, ". . . as shown in FIGURE 32-16 . . ." or
parenthetical, ". . (FiouREs 42-3 through 42-6). . ."
It is often desirable to use the reference flexibly to dif-
ferentiate types of figures, e.g., ". . . tabulated in FIG-
URE 42-7 . . ." or ". . . shown On the map, FIGURE
42-8 . . ." Statements such as ". . . in the follow-
ing table . . ." or ". . . in the table above . . ." are
undesirable because the relationship may not be re-
tained in printing. When related text is not to be
adjacent to reference table details, the text is appro-
priately amplified to incorporate significant details.
Because figure numbering is subject to change in pub-
lication or maintenance, reference to tables or. graphie
PAGE 2
JANUARY 1962
material in other sections or chapters is by abbreviated
caption, type of material, and section number in which
it appears, e.g., (see population density map,. SET-
TION 41).
Tentative placement within text of tables and appro-
priate graphic items is indicated by large carets with
figure numbers on the right margin of text pages (see
sample pages). Only one caret is used for each figure.
Figures expected to follow printed text, such as fold-in
maps, are itemized after the last line of manuscript text.
Within sections cross references are made to the
highest order of text topic which will adequately indi-
cate where the referenced material will be found.
Another section of the same or other chapter is
referred to by "... (this Chapter, SECTION 81) . or
" . . (see Section on Ground Forces) " Reference to
a section of another chapter is as follows: "... (CHAP-
TER IV, SECTION 41) ..." or "... (see Population)... "
4. QUOTATIONS AND EXTRACT MATTER
Quotations not exceeding 3 typewritten lines are
included in text within quotation marks. Longer
quotations, and subordinate material likewise to be
printed as "extract" in smaller type, are without quota-
tion marks, indented 5 spaces for all lines and typed
double space.
5. SAMPLE PAGES
The accompanying two pages are sample pages of
text manuscript for the guidance of typists.
6. FOOTNOTES
When footnotes are considered necessary, up to 3
asterisks per page may be used. Footnote material of
general significance for a segment of text may be printed
as a brief NOTE. In manuscript the footnote is in-
serted on the line following the reference, separated
from the text by solid lines above and below; the foot-
note begins indented 1 space from left margin, and is
typed double space (see sample pages).
7. REFERENCES TO SOURCES
References to sources are confined as much as possible
to the topic Comments on Principal Sources, where the
evaluative discussion may be followed by an alpha-
betical listing of principal sources to which consecutive
numbers are assigned. If sources are grouped by subject
categories, they are numbered consecutively rather
than by successive groups; details of a source are given
only once and thereafter only the identifying number is
listed. In text, and in both text and figure footnotes,
this facilitates brief reference, e. g., ". . , based on
Source I estimates, . ." or ". . . (Source I) . ? ."
When only a few principal sources are identified and
are not assigned source numbers in the Comments sub-
section, text or footnote reference thereto is as brief

as feasible. A source cited in text but not included in
Comments on Principal Sources may be described in
necessary detail but as briefly as possible. Author,
title of source, and date normally are sufficient, typed
in capitals and lowercase set off from text by paren-
theses.
In the numbered listing of principal sources, each
item is typed double space and is continuous in the
following order and typewriter style:
Author, authors, editor or agency; last name first,
capital and lowercase, period. Title of book or other
separate publication; capitals and lowercase, under-
lined, followed within parentheses by capitals and
lowercase translation if required, period. Title of
article from periodical in quotes, capitals and lower-
case, comma; followed by name of periodical, under-
lined, comma; edition, series, part, volume, number,
selected pages, year of periodical as necessary, separated
by commas in that order, with capital only at beginning
of series of items, abbreviated as ed., ser., pt., vol.,
no., p., period. Arabic numerals used throughout
except Roman after pt. Place of publication in capitals
and lowercase, followed by colon and publishing agency
if given, otherwise period. Date, period; n. d. if not
dated, period. Total pages if desired.
When several works by the same author or agency
are listed, the name is not repeated but is replaced by
dashes in subsequent listings.
C. Tabular specifications
1. TABULATIONS
Relatively simple tabular presentations, generally
with three vertical columns of data or less and a limited
number of entries, are treated as tabulations. Tabula-
tions are incorporated in text manuscript without figure
number or title (see sample pages). They are typed
double space, with no continuous capitalization or
underlining.
2. TABLES
More complex tabular presentations, generally with
stubs and three or more vertical columns of data, are
treated as tables. Each table has a descriptive title
preceded by a figure number. Each table is constructed
to stand as an entity, because of possible separation
from text in publication or use.
3. TYPING OF TABLES
Each table is typed in three copies, on one side only,
original on substantial bond paper. Duplicating proc-
ess may be used if submitted copies are thoroughly
checked for legibility. Tables are typed double space,
with no continuous capitals or underlining in cap-
tion, stubs, or column headings. Tables are typed
on 8 x 12,1 bond paper whenever practicable. For
more extensive presentations, larger paper may be
used, if possible retaining the 123/i inch vertical dimen-
sion. Several separate 8 x 12% pages may be used to
continue a table. When more than one page is used to
present a table or when there is significant relationship
between columns in separate tables, in typing it is im-
portant to maintain alinement and space relationship
of columns on all pages. Each page includes in the
margin, as in text pages, the name of the agency of
primary responsibility, date, classification, any security
control, NIS number, and section number.
4. TABLE TITLES AND FIGURE NUMBERS
Table titles are as brief as possible consistent with
adequate indication of table content. Date or dates
are included in the title unless table content is general-
ized or in itself provides adequate date information.
The area or political name is incorporated when feasi-
ble, in adjective form ("Value of French Imports, 1950-
1956") or in noun form after substance of caption
("Land Use, France, 1956").
The figure number which precedes each table title is
composed of the section number followed by a hyphen
and the serial number of the table in the sequence of
all figures (including all tables and graphic items)
within a section, according to caretted location in the
submitted manuscript.
5. TABLE STUBS AND COLUMN HEADINGS
Stubs (horizontal descriptive entries normally to the
left of vertical columns of data) and column headings
are carefully worded and coordinated. Proper selec-
tion and description of categories minimizes footnotes
and exceptions which require explanation.
In general, the heading at the top of a column covers
all material presented in the column without insertion
of additional headings farther down the column. The
same applies to side heads and lines of data. Where
intermediate headings seem necessary, the material
generally is presented as separate tables. However,
related categories of items (such as apply to various
weapons) may be usefully combined in a single table
by making column headings more comprehensive and
using subheadings in columns and/or indicating a gen-
eral change in category. Preliminary consultation
with OBI on such matters is advisable.
6. TABLE FOOTNOTES AND SOURCE REFER-
ENCES
Footnotes to tables are indicated by up to 3 asterisks
and thereafter by up to 3 daggers (the typewriter sym-
bol # is used for a dagger). These symbols are placed
at the left of numerical column data, and at the right
of headings, stubs, mixed or reading column data.
Footnotes are typed double space, under the table,
starting indented 5 spaces from left margin of table.
The number of footnotes to tables is minimized by
incorporation of the material into related text whet

NIS STANDARD INSTRUCTIONS JANUARY 1962
feasible, by careful phrasing of stubs and headings, by
consolidation in a reduced number of footnotes, or by
consolidation in a single NOTE carried as a footnote
without symbol.
When source reference or references are considered
necessary and apply to a table as a whole, they are
indicated by "Data from Source 13 . ." beginning at
the left text margin and typed 2 spaces below a line at
the bottom of the table proper. If a NOTE itein is
used it precedes the conventional abbreviation n di and
explanation, if used (see conventional entries below),
which in turn precedes any symbol footnotes. At en-
tire table taken verbatim fro/A-a source (sometimds as
the only available data, and not necessarily fully ac-
cepted by the contributor) is so indicated in related
text, by explanation within the table, or by footnote.
7. CONVENTIONAL ENTRIES
To avoid blank spaces in columns of data, the follow-
ing conventional entries are made as appropriate in
table columns:
ENTRY MEANING
not applicable; no footnote used
n a data not available, inadequate data, etc.; n and a
separated and underlined; explained where necessary'
as "Data not available" in footnote
0 indicates zero quantity or reading in columns of
uniform data such as weather statistics; no foot-1
note used
none Used instead of 0 when data aro not uniform, e.g., to,
indicate known lack of production of a significanti
commodity; underline; no footnote used .?
insig quantity too insignificant to record; underline; no
footnote used
When some items in a column are estimated they are
preceded by est in underlined lowercase, unless symbol
and footnote are preferable because of an otherwise
appreciably narrower column or estimated items can
be feasibly covered in other footnotes..
Ditto marks are not used in tables. For this purpose
do in underlined lowercase is used. Generally, identical
entries in figure columns are repeated. It is likewise
desirable to repeat word entries which have significance
8. STATISTICAL TOTALS
When n a or insig are included with vertical or hori-
zontal data entries for which a total is given that only!
moderately exceeds the sum of the specific entries, no
footnote explanation may be required. However,
when the total is exactly the sum of the specific figures
generally it is advisable to indicate that n a or similar
items are not reflected in the total, e. g., "*Totals are
of known data" or "approx." Totals which are not
identical with the sum of specific entries, because of
_rounding or different sources, are indicated by note,
e. g., "(Tonnage) figures rounded to nearest (thousand)
are not additive."

9. TABLE CONSTRUCTION
Optimum clarity and usefulness require the careful
construction of all tables in terms of the nature and
purpose of the material and the characteristics of the
NIS format.
Column headings normally are typed and printed
horizontally. They may be vertical when heading
narrow columns of data or generally to facilitate pub-
lishing a table in minimum width. Superior or con-
solidating headings are centered over the appropriate
individual column headings.
To avoid repetition of units of measurement after
items of latitude, longitude, time, distance, weight, etc.,
units of measurement (abbreviated as appropriate) are
put at the head of column, or centered over appropriate
columns. Units common to an entire table (e.g.,
thousands of metric tons, or percentage of population).
are placed in parentheses beneath the table title.
It is desirable, so far as practicable, for a series of
tables dealing with common or closely related topics to
be expressed in a uniform order of magnitude of units
of measurement, e.g., all in thousands of tons or hun-
dreds of tons.
Entries in all columns aline horizontally with top
line of the corresponding stub.
Vertical columns of figures are alined on the decimal
point, and zeros precede the decimal in numbers of less
than 1. Dissimilar data are centered in the column.
Examples of various figure items are:
1,500.0
0.15
24.4
1.94
16.09
4,200
120-130
insig
30 (daily)
n a
Generally it is not desirable to carry a column in
which there are no entries. Use of a column for iso-
lated entries may be avoided by carrying the entries
in a "Remarks" column or by consolidation in' an ex-
planatory note to the table.
Tables generally are constructed to avoid use of full-
length lines or rules between horizontal entries. Lines
or boxes around column headings preferably are omitted
by contributors unless format is well established.
Although contributors are not required to conform
to printing requirements when constructing tables, gen-
eral consideration of such requirements facilitates pub-
lication of table material. A printed NIS single-column
width accommodates approximately 55 characters or
spaces. A two-column page width takes approximately
115 characters or spaces. A two-page spread takes
approximately 230 characters or spaces. Two-page
spreads tend to present page make-up problems in
publication, including separation of tables from related
text. Tables which must be viewed from the side of
the page, and extended tables on fold-in inserts, are not
desirable and are used only by arrangement with OBI.
In constructing tables for normal column or page-width

publication, space allowance is required for column
headings which may be wider than figure entries in
columns, and for stubs. When it is apparent that the
maximum horizontal lines (allowing for column entries,
column headings, stubs, footnote symbols, and ade-
quate space between columns) will occupy more than
the approximate number of spaces available but will
not utilize more than a nominal additional width,
rearrangement of the table warrants consideration.
Vertical printing of heads is one device. When the
number of columns exceeds the number of stub entries,
the layout often may be reversed to make a longer but
narrower table. When tables present problems not
previously encountered, contributors are requested to
consult OBI before final typing.
D. Graphic specifications
1. GENERAL
All graphic materials, such as photographs, maps,
charts, graphs, and sketches, regardless of size, are (in
addition to numbered tables) designated as figures.
Each graphic item carries a separate figure number
comprising the section number followed by hyphen
and serial number of the figure in the sequence of all
figures within the section. The originals and copies of
all graphic items are clearly marked with the NIS area
number, section and figure number.
The image size of the NIS printed page is 71/1" H
by 9;34" V. The material is printed in two 33" col-
-umns spaced 14" apart. Column width figures are
printed 3 wide, and page width figures are 71/1"
wide. The maximum height of such figures including
space for caption is 934".
All graphic items larger than page size are treated as
fold-in inserts. The maximum paper size used for NIS
inserts is 2314" V x 393%" H. The horizontal dimen-
sion normally includes a 9,4" apron.
Figures are prepared to fit NIS indicated dimensions.
Care is required in laying out correct proportions and
in selecting sizes of symbols, patterns, lines, and letter-
ing to allow for reduction commensurate with that per-
mitted by other features of the figure. When a specific
amount of reduction is desired, it is so marked outside
the border. Otherwise, the amount of reduction will
be decided by OBI.
All figures, except insert maps, are accompanied by
captions (in lowercase and normal, word capitalization)
which are carefully worded to be briefly but adequately
descriptive. The first line of the caption carries the
figure number followed by identification of the subject
or brief descriptive phrase; succeeding lines add appro-
priate amplification, including direction of view and
indication of the date (where meaningful) of photo-
graphs.
Charts or graphs do not carry titles or caption ma-
terial (as distinct from explanatory legend material)
within the figure image. In the case of a specially con-
structed chart or graph, source and date of information
may be drafted within the figure. All insert maps carry
the title, legend, source and date of source, and other
essential information drafted within the title box or
neatline.
It is not necessary that all maps or photographs be
oriented with north at the top, but the position of north
is clearly indicated by means of a north arrow, coordi-
nates, or caption. Names, symbols, and similar details
of figures are oriented for reading from the bottom of
the page. In exceptions where figures must be viewed
from the side of the page, details of the figure are
oriented for reading from the right-hand side of the
page.
Printed stickup is preferred for symbols and letter-
ing. However, Leroy lettering is permissible. Free-
hand lettering and symbols are avoided except where
it is necessary to include an existent printed map or
sketch.
It is frequently desirable for graphic material, such
as large-scale aerials of airfields, to be accompanied by
small-scale line-cut orientation or location maps.
2. PHOTOGRAPHS
Only clear and distinct photographs are acceptable,
and original prints are supplied insofar as possible.
Except where the original is unwieldy, prints are sup-
plied at the same scale as originals, including suggested
cropping to be undertaken in OBI processing.
High-altitude aerial photographs carry a north arrow
and bar scale drafted on the face of the print. When
a photograph originally has foreign annotations on the
face of the photograph, the annotations are retained
and translated or explained in the caption.
Instructions for selection and preparation of photo-
graphs are set forth in NIS supplementary instructions.
3. MAPS
All NIS maps are carefully selected and constructed
in terms of the purpose and subject material of a map
or plan, content and positional integration with text,
suitability of color or other differentiation, and all
feasible uniformity in layout, lettering, and other
drafted elements. Appropriate modifications are made
for generalized maps designed for one-column width or
otherwise less than page size, which are preferable for
many NIS purposes because they can be printed in
juxtaposition to related text.
All maps have a neatline and border, a legend cen-
tered under the map title, a bar scale, and the classifica-
tion centered beneath the scale. Legends clearly define
all symbols not self-explanatory or generally understood
from common usage. A direction indication, either
coordinates or a north arrow, is included. Maps pre-

pared as a: series -(e.g., port and town -plans) have-icon-
sistent treatment throughout in type style, zipatone
patterns, title and legend layout. Nonvarying plastic
(e.g., dyrite, vinylite) is preferable for the construction
of color plates, to facilitate accurate registry in printing.
A standard base map for each NIS area is prepared
and distributed by Cartography Division (D/GC/RR),
CIA, in the following forms: black and white; compesite
color copies on paper; composite black line and black
line copies of each color separation plate on plastic
(dyrite). Specific instructions concerning reduction,
sizes, etc., are distributed with the base map for each
NIS area.
Contributors are responsible for drafting their 4wn
overlays, which are keyed to the base plates of NIS
standard base maps.
In addition to the standard base map a small-sale
page-size base map is prepared for each NIS atea.
Specific instructions concerning the use, reduction,
sizes, etc., are also distributed with each page-size base
map.
Where base maps are not applicable (such as port
plans), contributors are responsible for compiling and
constructing their own maps. Contributors lacking
necessary cartographic facilities should consult OBI.
Maps to be reproduced as obtained (such as foreign
road maps) carry a note within the neatline specifying
that they are being so reproduced and without editing
for BGN conformity.
Where necessary, fold-in maps are printed with a
page-size apron, to permit full view. of the map as the
text is read. This apron can be used for printing
formation- additional to that contained in the legend,.
such as lists of installations or regions. Such informa-
tion is submitted on separate typewritten sheet or
sheets for each map, in five copies accompanying the
five sets of manuscript. Printed material is not carried
on the back of a map.
E. General
1. CHAPTER I AND NIS SUPPLEMENT SPEC-
IFICATIONS
Preparation of text and graphic material for CHAPTER
I and NIS Supplements generally conforms to the indi-
cated procedures for other NIS material, with such
modifications as are developed to meet the requirements
of CHAPTER I and the Supplements.
2. CONSOLIDATED CHAPTERS
For certain small NIS areas or those insufficiently
developed in some aspects to warrant standard NIS
section coverage on all topics, consolidated chapters
may be prepared. The chapter, not the section, is the
unit of production for these publications. The format
is simplified and? compressed. Section topics appear,
as subsections and may be combined into new topics'
PA GE 6
Approved For Release 1999/09/21 :
JULY 1.957
as appropriate. One Table of'Contents and one "Com-
ments on Principal Sources" support. the whole chapter.
The chapter has continuous pagination and figure
numbering, using the chapter Roman numeral desig-
nator. Using a consolidated CHAPTER V as an example,
SECTION 50 becomes Subsection A, General; Subsection
B might combine SECTIONS 51 and 52 as The Govern-
mental System; Public Order and Security could cover
SECTIONS 54, 56, and 57; SECTIONS 53 and 55 could be
combined (especially in coverage of dependent areas)
into a new subsection topic. The final subsection
would be "Comments on Principal Sources."
3. CLASSIFICATION AND CONTROL
NTS textual material is classified independently by
section. All pages of each section uniformly carry the
highest classification of material in the section. All
material, however, carries at least a CONFIDEN-
TIAL classification. Tables of Contents, caption
lists, all tables, and all graphics, except photographs
and insert maps, carry the uniform section classifica-
tion and are so stamped when submitted. Insert
maps and photographs may be of a lower classification
than the NIS section of which they are a part.
The agency of primary responsibility is required to
insure that any control aspects are properly indicated
on submitted material.
All Comments on Principal Sources for all NIS
(except CHAPTERS I) are controlled "Not Releasable
to Foreign Nationals." The control for the Comments
on Principal Sources as such does not govern for related
NIS material and need not be specified in the letter of
transmittal.
All NIS content is controlled "Not Releasable to
Foreign Nationals" -for certain NIS areas specified by
the NIS Committee. All NIS material relating to
such areas, regardless of the content of the material,
is correspondingly controlled. Each page of manu-
script and each unit of graphic material is appropri-
ately stamped, top and bottom. All such material
delivered to OBI carries a cover sheet specifying con-
trol, and the control requirements are also indicated in
the letter of transmittal.
When any NIS unit or portions of NIS material
(other than Comments on Principal Sources) are con-
trolled for reasons other than the approved control
character of the area, the entire section involved is
controlled. Each page of manuscript and each unit
of graphic material is appropriately stamped, top and
bottom. All such material delivered to OBI carries a
cover, sheet specifying control, and the nature and
occasion for the control requirements are indicated in
the letter of transmittal.
Variations of the "Not Releasable to Foreign Na-
tionals" control which may appear on submitted
material to meet departmental or other requirements
are not used in the printed NIS.

4. TREATMENT OF NAMES
Geographic names used in the NIS are those ap-
proved by the United States Board on Geographic
Names (BGN). Approved names are listed in NIS
Gazetteers and are used by contributors in the prepara-
tion of text and graphic materials. Pending publica-
tion of a pertinent gazetteer, or in the case of names not
covered by a published gazetteer, lists of names are
prepared and submitted to OBI according to NIS
Memo No. 5.
Conventional names are used insofar as they are
approved by BGN. The approved native name is
added in parentheses the first time the conventional
name is used in a section, and thereafter as desirable
for clarity. It is desirable to use the native name in
parentheses after the conventional name on maps
whenever practicable.
Approved native names are used where conventional
names are not provided. Translation of generic parts
of native names (except when the meaning is apparent)
is given in parentheses where necessary the first time a
generic appears in any segment of text. As a reader
aid, English generics may be interspersed in text.
All terms referring to man-made features, such as
Small Boat Harbor, are in English. Military or other
regions arbitrarily designated for convenience in pres-
entation are in English and are not subject to BGN
approval.
In lists of towns and cities, coordinates are given for
each of two or more places having identical names.
5. TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY
When scientific names are appropriately used in the
interest of accuracy, if possible they are preceded by a
common name or common name generic; e.g., the colon
bacillus (Escherichia coli), malaria mosquitoes (Anoph-
eles maculipennis, A. hyrcanus). The scientific
names are enclosed in parentheses and marked for
italics in every case. In a paragraph discussing malaria
mosquitoes, however, italicized scientific names may be
used without a preceding common name or generic.
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
Scientific family names (names ending in -idae, as
Stomatidae) are capitalized but not italicized.
Special-use terms, such as names of military regions,
are capitalized (e.g., the Kazakh Hill Country) to
clearly maintain identity.
6. STATISTICAL DATA
Statistical data normally are expressed either in U.S.
units of measure or in the metric system, and are con-
sistent within a section or larger NIS unit as feasible,
except to conform with common usage, as in discussing
75 mm. and 3" guns. All contributions clearly indicate
what system is used, in tables as well as text. When
different measurement systems unavoidably appear
together in text (e.g., statute and nautical miles) they
are clearly differentiated. In the case of areas where
available maps or charts use varying measurement sys-
tems, the text is expressed in U.S. units with metric
conversion following in parentheses, and accompanying
maps using extensive metric annotations in their origi-
nal form carry a conversion table. Both U.S. and other
measurements may be given, as in the case of a table,
when contributing to utility.
Measurements are expressed in terms consistent with
the inherent or required degree of accuracy (e.g., 2,340
miles of coast, 16'6)4" bridge clearance). Conversions
are exact when appropriate; a rounded original figure
is not converted into an inconsistently exact figure;
rounded conversions may be used with a modifying
"about" or "approximate." Units of measurement
are clearly defined, e.g., statute miles or nautical miles,
short tons or long tons. Both quantity and value may
be given when useful for indicating relative importance.
In financial data, dated exchange rates are included.
7. EDITORIAL STYLE
Development of style for all forms of NIS content is
a continuing and coordinated result of contributor and
OBI processing of the various types of material. For
all matters of style not so developed, and not indicated
by specific OBI instructions, the current Government
Printing Office Style Manual governs.

CONFIDENTIAL NIS STANDARD INSTRUCTIONS
Chapter I - Brief
OUTLINE
The following outline guide indicates substance and general arrange-
ment. In preparation and typing of manuscript, Standard Edi-
torial Instructions are followed in detail.
CHAPTER I is a succinct analytical summary of the
salient basic intelligence aspects of the NIS Area as a
whole. It presents a clear, concise, over-all view of the
principal factors concerning the NIS Area under con-
sideration and, while stressing succinctness, contains
sufficient detail to render it adequate within itself, and
such NIS Annuals as may supplement it, to serve as
the basis for initial military and political strategic
planning. More specifically, CHAPTER I accomplishes
the following:
Presents a clear view of the NIS Area concerned.
Not only presents the salient basic intelligence aspects of
the NIS Area concerned but also evaluates the significance
of these aspects.
Establishes the interrelationship of such salient aspects by
integrating in any one section those aspects of other sec-
tions which serve to enhance the meaningfulness of the
first.
SECTIONS 12-19, inclusive, present concise analytical
summaries of salient basic intelligence elements of the
area, selected from CHAPTERS respectively.
Significant developments since the publication of the
respective Chapters are incorporated in SECTIONS
12-19, inclusive. While the discussion in each Sec-
tion is extensive enough to insure clear presentation
JANUARY 1962
and explanation of significant aspects, care is taken to
exclude nonessential details. Each Section includes
appropriate evaluative and interpretive conclusions.
Succinct textual discussions are supplemented by
graphic aids wherever practicable. The text does not
repeat intelligence portrayed graphically, but inter-
prets and augments it.
CHAPTER I is prepared under the general direction
of the NIS Committee in accordance with allocations
of responsibility in the NIS Standard Instructions.
CHAPTER I is published as a complete chapter.
CHAPTER 1 is not usually produced until after the Com-
pletion of the basic research on, and development of,
CHAPTERS II?IX, inclusive. The approval date for
all Sections of CHAPTER 1 coincides with the month in
which the Chapter is scheduled for submission to CIA.
The following outline guides for individual Sections
constitute a check list of essential coverage for the most
complex country. Salient basic intelligence elements
vary, however, from country to country, even among
the most complex. Great latitude, therefore, is
exercised in applying the outline guides to individual
countries in order to insure a presentation appropriate
to each.
Master Index
CHAPTER I contains a Master Index. This Index
lists detailed topics contained in standard NIS Sections
and Supplements and serves as a guide for use in depth
of all components, other than CHAPTER I, of the NIS
PAGE 2
concerned. The Index also indicates any omission or
special treatment of inteffigence applicable to the
NIS under consideration.

JANUARY 1962 CHAPTER I
Summary Map
Each CHAPTER [ includes a comprehensive map
presentation which condenses selected intelligence of
the NIS Area. This "Summary Map" normally
consists of one fold-in sheet inserted at the end of the
Chapter, and normally comprises the following ele-
ments:
1. A terrain and transportation map. This map is of
suitable scale and shows for the area the terrain
features; railroads, roads, inland waterways, and air-
fields; ports; amphibious landing areas; cities and
towns; and a suitable map legend.
2. Insets showing the following:
a. Population density and administrative divi-
sions.
CONFIDENTIAL
b. Economic activity.
c. Land utilization.
d. Strategic areas and approaches.
e. Location and comparative areas.
f. An area brief which succinctly states selected
facts concerning the land, people, govern-
ment, economy, communications, and de-
fense forces of the area.
3. A "Summary map locator" printed on the apron
of the map. This consists of two parts: a) an alpha-
betical listing of places and terrain features, together
with the map coordinates of each; and b) an alpha-
betical listing of airfields, together with the map
coordinates of each.
Section 10. Chronology
This Section consists of a list of dates and events of
major significance, usually since World War II. Only
highlights are given; events of minor significance are
not included merely to provide an entry for each of the
years within the period covered.
Section 11. Significance of the Area
This Section is a synopsis that shows the relative
importance of the area in terms of geographic location,
natural and human resources, and national force.
The importance of the location of the area in relation
to sitch factors as international traffic routes, regional
political groups, and great power centers is shown. Na-
tional force is appraised in terms of the moral, political,
economic, technical, and military influence the country
exerts on other countries. These characterizations
are in general the content of the first paragraph of
SECTION 11.
The statements in the opening paragraph are sup-
ported by sufficient record of past events, international
CONFIDENTIAL
influence of the nation, and international interest in the
area to indicate the vitality and direction of the forces
described in these statements. Because the Section
synthesizes conclusions selected mostly from other
Sections, the presentation is flexible. The Section
depends upon the CHAPTER I Summary Map and the
global representation on the inside cover for graphic
support and draws from Sections of CHAPTER I and
other Chapters whatever conclusions are needed to
complete the composite statement of national influence
and the historical perspective of the area.

Section 12. Military Geography
A. Geographic character
1. LOCATION, SIZE, SHAPE, AND GENERAL
GEOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS
This Subsection consists of a general discussion of
the location, size, shape, and general geographic condi-
tions of the NIS Area. The location of the NIS Area
is discussed in relation to important areas outside the
NIS Area. Specific details are given on size, including
both area and population, and a comparison is made
with an appropriate part of the United States. A
general statement regarding the shape of the NIS
Area and military significance is included if important;
otherwise this information is covered in the discussion
of size. The general geographic conditions are covered
by a brief over-all view of terrain and climate, high-
lighting those elements that have special military
significance.
2. BOUNDARIES
Data are presented on the specific lengths of the
boundaries and coastline of the NIS Area and the
terrain conditions along each are discussed. Details
are given on the status of boundaries, fortifications,
and movement possibilities across the boundary.
Information is also given on offshore territorial limits.
3. APPROACHES
a. AIR -- This Subsection provides a general dis-
cussion of the surface configuration and climate within
each air approach sector external to the NIS Area.
The number of sectors is determined by significant
differences in the physical conditions in the zones
bounding the NIS Area. The sectors are named by
appropriate major directional terms, such as the
Northern Sector, the Eastern Sector, or the South-
western Sector. The discussion zone seldom exceeds
500 miles beyond the limits of the NIS Area.
b. SEA --- This consists of a general analysis of
the hydrography and climate in approach areas,
including offshore and nearshore conditions and stra-
tegic amphibious landing areas in the coastal areas.
PAGE 4
JANUARY 1962
C. LAND - Land approaches are discussed through
a general analysis of avenues of approach, including
consideration of transportation facilities and conditions
for off-road dispersal and cross-country movement
within each approach.
B. Military geographic regions
This Subsection presents a brief summary of the
combined effects environmental factors would have on
military operations within relatively homogeneous parts
of the NIS Area. In most cases, the Subsection is a
pr?s of the regional presentation in Section 21 but
omits mention of subregions. Emphasis is on general
military evaluations, with descriptive material and
back-up data kept to a minimum.
C. Strategic areas and internal routes
1. STRATEGIC AREAS
This is a discussion of the significant aspects of
strategically important cen ters or regions within the
NIS Area. The selection of strategic areas is based on
their importance as military, industrial, governmental,
commercial, communication, cultural, or agricultural
centers.
2. INTERNAL ROUTES
Internal routes selected for discussion in this Sub-
section are those which provide the easiest avenues of
movement between land approaches and strategic
areas, between strategic amphibious landing areas and
strategic areas, and between strategic areas. Data are
included on transportation facilities and conditions for
off-road dispersal and cross-country movement within
each internal route.
D. Comments on principal sources
This Subsection evaluates briefly the principal
source material on the subject field covered by the
Section. The comments cover the following elements:
1) citation of major sources of information by general
category only, 2) indication of major gaps in informa-
tion, 3) assessment of the general reliability of infor-
mation available in the field under consi(leration, and
4) indication of general trends in the collection effort
pertaining to the field under consideration.

NIS Annual
OUTLINE GUIDE
The situations in all areas covered by published
CHAPTERS I are examined on an approximately yearly
basis to determine those areas in which unusually
prominent events have generated developments of
such major importance as to cause fundamental
changes in the basic intelligence situations of the areas.
For those areas in which such developments have oc-
curred and their effects on the basic intelligence situa-
tions are reasonably clear, NIS Annuals are published
to provide limited maintenance for the pertinent
CHAPTERS I pending formal maintenance of the Chap-
ters.
Map and chart graphics and "Comments on principal
sources" are normally not used in the NIS Annual.
Area Brie/
This is included in the Annual only when the major
developments bave caused significant changes in the
data given in the Area Brief of CHAPTER I. When the
Area Brief of the Annual is included, it consists only
of these significant changes.
Section 10. Chronology

CONFIDENTIAL NIS STANDARD INSTRUCTIONS
OUTLINE GUIDE
The following outline guide indicates substance and general arrange-
ment. In preparation and typing of manuscript, Standard Editorial
Instructions are followed in detail.
The six Sections of CHAPTER II cover the strategic,
regional, and topical aspects of the military geography
of the NIS Area. Clear distinction between these three
aspects of military geography is essential to the orderly
preparation of these Sections and to the efficient use
of the Chapter.
SECTION 20, INTRODUCTION, furnishes a strategic ap-
preciation of the NIS Area as a whole in relation to its
surroundings, including evaluations of external ap-
proaches. Descriptions of dominant geographic ele-
ments, strategic areas, and internal routes highlight
the militarily important factors within the NIS Area.
SECTION 21, MILITARY GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS, is an
integration and analysis of the key military aspects of
the NIS Area by parts. It presents for each region
and for each subregion into which a region is divided
the significant environmental elements in terms of
their combined effects on ground, airborne, and am-
phibious operations. Emphasis is on military opera-
tions, with descriptive data used to provide a picture
of the area being analyzed and to support military eval-
uations.
JANUARY 1962
SECTIONS 22 through 25 (and SUPPLEMENTS II and
IV) comprise the detailed topical treatments of the
subject matter necessary for NIS purposes. Within
each topic or subtopic the material is organized on a
regional or locality basis, as for individual sectors or
subsectors of coasts, regions characterized by simi-
larities of climate, terrain, soil, or vegetation, and indi-
vidual urban areas.
The outline presented is designed to provide a basis
for appraisal of the military significance of the geog-
raphy of any NIS Area. It is intended to be sufficiently
flexible to be adaptable to any peculiar situation that
the authors of CHAPTER II may encounter.
Each topical heading in the outline must, however,
be considered by the authors. As indicated in the
guidance for each Section, adequate latitude is provided
to permit presentation of each topic in the clearest and
simplest form, where alternative forms of presentation
are practicable.
In the event that modification of the outline, or a
part thereof, is considered desirable for a particular
NIS Area, the proposed modification will not be made
without prior approval of the Chapter Coordinator.
Section 20. Introduction
This Section is designed to provide the reader with
a succinct evaluation of the external geographic rela-
tionships of the NIS Area and its dominantly significant
internal geographic characteristics. The Section is pre-
pared after SECTIONS 21 through 25 have been com-
pleted. It is not, however, an abridgement of these
Sections. Photographs of especially significant aspects
of military geography covered by SECTION 20 are
included as pertinent.
PAGE 2
A. Location, size, shape, and boundaries
The significant aspects of the location, size, shape,
and boundaries of the NIS Area as a whole are pre-
sented in integrated paragraphs without topical head-
ings, supported by 1) a map on which the NIS Area is
centered on an azimuthal projection and on which con-
centric circles of air distances are included and 2) a
map demonstrating the comparative areas of the NIS
Area and of the United States or North America.

B. Dominant geographic elements
All facts of the environment as presented in SECTIONS
21 through 25 are considered by Army in preparing this
discussion. Those environmental elements that are
dominantly significant are treated in integrated state-
ments supported by one or more overall intelligence
maps.
C. Strategic areas
Each strategic area of the NIS Area is defined and
briefly described by Army on the basis of the applica-
bility of one or more of the following factors (or other
pertinent factors) which are of national or international
significance: critical and/or key industries (especially
military end-products plants); critical and other stra-
tegically significant mining developments and mineral
resources; key transportation and communications cen-
ters and facilities; military installations including key
offensive, defensive, and supporting facilities; popula-
tion concentrations (ethnic, religious, social, including
significant minorities); key terrain features (passes,
corridors, beaches, air-drop sites); food resources, in-
cluding production and storage centers; etc. Strategic
areas are delimited on a map with the approaches to
and internal routes of the NIS Area.
CONFIDENTIAL
Strategic, for the purposes of evaluating strategic sig-
nificance in the NIS Area, is defined as pertaining to
the implications of any of the above factors upon a
nation's developing and using political, economic, and
psychological means and/or armed forces during peace
or war to afford the maximum support to national
policies, to increase the probabilities and favorable con-
sequences of victory, and to lessen the chances of defeat.
D. Approaches and internal routes
Evaluations of the air, sea, and ground approaches
to the NIS Area as a whole are prepared by Air Force,
Navy, and Army, respectively, and coordinated by
Army. Air approaches are presented on a sector basis.
Land and air approaches are shown in suitable manner
on a map showing the strategic areas and internal
routes of the NIS Area. Internal routes are evaluated
and selected with respect to the strategic areas within
this and adjacent NIS Areas; first on the basis of
current logistical capabilities and second on the basis of
potentialities for logistical development. Routes lack-
ing existing transportation facilities capable of carry-
ing military traffic are evaluated similarly in relation to
routes having such facilities. All selected routes are
delimited and classified on the strategic areas map
which is supported by concise tabular or textual
evaluation.
Section 21. Military Geographic Regions
This Section analyzes the NIS Area in terms of mili-
tary geographic regions. A military geographic region
as discussed in the NIS is a region in which the com-
bination of environmental conditions would have a
relatively uniform effect on military operations. Where
the environmental conditions differ significantly be-
tween parts of a region, the region may be divided into
subregions, e.g., a mountain region may be divided into
subregions of forested mountains and barren mountains.
The military geographic regions and subregions for
an NIS Area are delimited on a map by the Army
agency responsible for production of SECTION 21.
A. General
Introductory integrated text summarizes the en-
vironmental conditions which comprise the basis for
the regional division. Following paragraphs provide
a brief comparison of the regions. An orientation
map, showing boundaries of the various regions and
subregions, is included.
CONFIDENTIAL
B. Regional analysis: Regions A, B, etc.
A textual analysis of each region and its subregions
is presented. Each region appears as a separate num-
bered heading. An intelligence-type map shows in-
terrelated terrain conditions in the regions and sub-
regions of the NIS Area. Photographs and other
graphics may be used for illustration.
The text for each region starts with an integrated
description of the region as a whole, which is followed
by an overall military evaluation of the region. If
the region is divided into subregions, the description
highlights the elements that are the bases for this divi-
sion; following paragraphs briefly contrast the sub-
regions, much as the regions are contrasted in the A,
General. A description of the first subregion follows
the comparison.
For a region that has no subregions or for each sub-
region, an analysis of operational conditions follows
the description. This analysis includes ground op-
erations, airborne operations, and, where applicable,

amphibious operations. The order in which these
analyses are presented may vary from region to region
and from subregion to subregion depending upon their
significance. The elements considered for each type
of operation will always encompass the following,
though not necessarily in the same order. Under
ground operations, evaluations will be presented for
on-road movement, off-road dispersal, road construc-
tion, cross-country movement, concealment, cover,
billeting, storage, and the construction of hasty ground
shelters and of underground installations. Included
under airborne operations are evaluations of conditions
for parachute operations, air landings, and the con-
struction of airfields, as well as an evaluation of the
usability of existing airfields. Always treated under
amphibious operations are off-shore approaches, near-

shore approaches, coastal terrain, exits from the coast,
and amphibious landing areas.
Local factors that might affect the efficiency of troops
are mentioned as they apply to any type of operation.
These include the psychological hazards of long periods
of darkness; the health hazards of disease-bearing in-
sects and rodents; the problems of dangerous wild ani-
mals, including reptiles; and the potentially incapaci-
tating effects of extreme elevations, cold, and heat.
Moreover, the analyses of all types of military opera-
tions are given in historical perspective. The experi-
ences of military forces which have previously operated
in the region or subregion are used to give some insight
into future problems, particularly as to the extent to
which terrain and weather conditions could govern
the conduct of operations.

Section 23. Weather and Climate
This Section is designed to provide the user with
a detailed description of the weather and climate
of the NIS Area and with an overall explanation of
the effects of weather elements on military opera-
tions. Maps, photos, and other graphic materials,
such as isoline charts, wind roses, line and bar graphs,
etc., are used for illustrative purposes. Subsections A
and B may include brief tabulations, but all climatic
data tables are presented in Subsection D to which
reference should be made.
A. General weather and climatic conditions
Discuss the general weather and climatic conditions
in their broad aspects, emphasizing those elements and
factors having significance in regard to high-level mili-
tary operational planning as specified by the various
agencies of the Department of Defense. Subdivision
of the NIS Area into militarily significant climatic
regions is desirable, depending upon the weather and
climatic conditions in the particular Area.
The Subsection emphasizes the processes which con-
trol climatic regimes and contains the bulk of general
climatic discussion. Illustrate destructive effects of
weather and weather phenomena such as dust storms,
tornadoes, fog banks, etc.
B. Weather and military operations
1. AIR OPERATIONS (above friction layer)
Discuss climatic factors and conditions which affect
all types of aerial operations, e.g., cloudiness, visibility,
icing, turbulence, thunderstorms, winds and tempera-
tures aloft, dust and blowing sand in the upper air,
and special upper-air weather phenomena.
2. AIR-GROUND OPERATIONS (within friction
layer)
Discuss climatic factors which affect radiological,
chemical, and biological warfare, control of atmospheric
contamination, parachute, aircraft landing, glider, and
similar operations which take place within the lower lay-
ers of the atmosphere. These conclusions result from
analyses of vertical temperature, moisture, density, and
wind structure as influenced by topography and large-
CONFIDENTIAL
scale meteorological conditions and their translation
into microclimatic terms; i.e., distributions (local) of
wind, temperature, humidity, stability, fog, haze, etc.,

on a map supported by table(s) and text describing
physical characteristics such as heights, density of
stand, stem diameters, coloration, cultivation practices,
etc., and evaluating their potential usefulness as con-
struction materials and as sources of supplies, and their
susceptibility to conflagration.
7. STATE OF GROUND
This topic is prepared by Army after SECTION 23 and
Subsections 24, B, 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 have been com-
pleted. It is developed around maps supported by

to discussion under Cross-country Movement or Con-
structional Aspects that are affected by environmental
topics treated in SECTION 24.
D. Comments on principal sources
This Subsection serves the following purposes:
To provide an evaluation of the principal source
material used in preparing the Section and thereby
inform the user of the general credibility to be accorded
the intelligence contained in the Section.
To indicate those aspects of the subject about which
information is deficient or unavailable and thereby
provide general guidance for collection effort. In this
connection, only the principal sources actually used
are indicated.
Section 25. Urban Areas
This Section is designed to be a digest of information
on the physical aspects of the urban areas in the NIS
Area supplemented by pertinent generalized comments
concerning their geographic, political, economic, and
military importance. Where the general composition
of the cities and towns in the area lends itself to com-
parison with the cities and towns in a geographic
area of the United States or with those of countries in
the same geographic, political, or economic group, such
comparison is desirable. Data are presented for the
NIS Area as a whole, except when such treatment might
be misleading for an included subarea. When the area
under consideration is divided into distinctive geo-
graphic, political, or economic subareas, the data may
be presented by appropriate subarea.
Tables and charts are utilized to a maximum to
supplement descriptive text. Town plans emphasizing
those natural and manmade features of the urban area
and its environs that are of primary military signifi-
cance are included. They supplement the text and
tabulated data. Each key strategic urban area is illus-
trated by suitable plans, either as functional overlays
on an aerial mosaic, or if no suitable mosaic is avail-
able, on a town plan that emphasizes adequately the
salient urban characteristics having military signifi-
cance. Photographs are used to support the text and

OUTLINE GUIDE
The following outline guide indicates substance and general arrange-
ment. In preparation and typing of manuscript, Standard Edi-
torial Instructions are followed in detail.
Section 40. Introduction
This Section provides a concise synthesis of the gen-
eral character of the society, its civilization, and social
stability. The dynamic factors in the society and its
cohesiveness and flexibility in relation to social change
are pointed out briefly. This Section serves as a so-
ciological introduction to the country and to CHAPTER
IV, presenting a brief overview of the people and their
society, with such historical factors woven into the
text as necessary to explain or give perspective to pres-
ent-day social institutions, characteristics, and atti-
tudes.
The Section answers succinctly and in broad terms
such questions as the following, emphasizing wherever
possible the interplay of significant forces and factors
in shaping the society:
1) What are the main patterns and trends of social
life and social organization? Are they based primarily
on an agricultural or industrial tradition, on a
mixed or other type of economy, on abundance or
scarcity? Indicate the status of, and the relationships
among, the various classes, races, religions, nation-
ality or language groups.
2) What has been the effect of environmental fac-
tors (including locational, topographical, and climatic
factors as well as availability of natural resources) on
a) population composition, growth, and distribution,
PAGE 2
b) social organization, and c) cultural, including tech-
nological, development?
3) Is the society stable or unstable, is it confused,
disunited, or imbued with a sense of common destiny
and mission?
4) What are the dominant social motives of indi-
viduals? In broad terms what social values motivate
behavior and how do social institutions reflect these
values? Do the people have an individualistic or col-
lectivist bent or tradition?
5) Is there a dominant tradition of learning, philo-
sophical, scientific, or artistic? Are the people pre-
dominantly literate or illiterate? To what extent is
language a unifying factor or a barrier to unity and
strength?
6) What are the most powerful internal and external
forces molding public opinion and group behavior?
What is the pattern of public opinion formation and
of individual thought?
Such an evaluation should take into consideration
the homogeneity of the population, its age or youth,
its manpower resources, the attitude of the people
toward their cultural-political heritage, and the ade-
quacy of social institutions in meeting defined social
needs. The relation of the society to neighboring na-
tions, the U.S.S.R., and the United States, especially
in regard to cultural development, should be noted.

Section 41. Population
A. General
This Subsection provides an appropriate approach to
the material in the remainder of the Section. It in-
cludes a brief statement of the significant aspects of
population as a whole and its major segments, noting
the most important and distinctive demographic facts
as they relate to economic, political, and other major
problems of the country. It should not be merely a
digest of what follows.
B. Size, composition, and geographic distri-
bution
1. SIZE AND COMPOSITION
Give the total size of the population by the most
recent census or estimate. Compare with neighboring,
rival, or other countries as appropriate. Identify the
major segments, racial and/or ethnic, giving numbers
and regional distribution (with map if possible). Have
realinements of boundaries or migrations due to war or
economic or other disaster affected the composition of
the population? In a mixed population state defini-
tions used by the national census for identifying indi-
viduals with these segments (race, language, religion).
2. DISTRIBUTION AND DENSITY
Give data on the density of the total population of
the area as a whole and present a table of area and
population in the chief administrative subdivisions
(states, provinces, departments, etc.) with number of
persons per square mile, preferably accompanied by a
map of population density.
3. PATTERN OF SETTLEMENT AND URBAN
AREAS
Discuss the general pattern of settlement?orienta-
tion toward the sea, natural resources, river commerce,
industrial activities. Note characteristics of major
ethnic or other segments of the population in the pat-
terns of settlement. Give percentage of population
which is rural and urban as defined by the census of the
country under discussion. Is it concentrated in major
agglomerations or dispersed, and why? Note the ex-
tent to which the rural population is collected in
villages, hamlets, or in isolated households.
Tabulate population of major cities and the chief
metropolitan areas, including the total population of

by five-year groups (0-4, 5-9, 10-14 . . . 65 and over)
for males, females, and total as of postwar census or
estimate. Illustrate by using an age-sex profile. Is it
a young or old population? Point out any significant
excess or deficit of either sex and state ages. Discuss
age at first marriage and the proportion of unmarried
males and females. Is there a large unmarried or wid-
owed population arising from late marriage, war cas-
ualties, or other factors? Is there polygamy? Give

similar data for significant segments of the population,
geographical, racial, or ethnic, and show their relation-
ship to the statistics for the nation as a whole.
Indicate the percentages of the total population in
working ages (e.g., 15-64) and in dependent ages (e.g.,
0-14 and 65 and over). Are there marked regional
urban-rural, or ethnic variations from the national
pattern? Do the statistics reflect the actual degree of
dependency on the population of working age, due to
such factors as years required for education, compulsory
retirement, etc.? Point out any significant variations
for major segments of the population. (Cross-refer to
SECTIONS 42 and 44 where pertinent.) Comment also
on the manpower available to the armed forces.

tion? Note the attitudes of different groups of people
toward these problems if they are significant to national
stability. What policies have been proposed or adopted
by the government that affect the size, distribution, or
rate of growth of the population? Indicate migration
policies and discuss the present and prospective role of
migration and settlement in relieving population pres-
sure or in developing thinly populated areas. :Has the.
government adopted policies to increase the numbers
of marriages and births, such.as family allowance, or is
encouragement given to practices of family limitation?

speakers, their percentages of the total population, and
their geographical distribution. Illustrate with map
where possible.
2. CONTENT AND STRUCTURE
Discuss the major languages and dialects, including
vocabulary and structure, and covering the following
points: 1) mutual intelligibility; 2) adequacy for special
fields of knowledge, especially as compared with

ternal sources from which, new elements are being
introduced into the language. What do the new
language elements suggest as to the cultural trend of
the society?

1. SOCIAL STRUCTURE
a. SOCIAL CLASSES Describe and analyze the
structure of the dominant society. Note the basis upon
which important social status distinctions are made.

and traditional functioning of this society. What
changes are taking place in the size and composition of
the social classes. Point out the significance of changes
in social stratification as they affect political develop-
ment.

social structure? Indicate briefly the prestige factors
which determine the individual's relative place in the
society and the important influences of social status
which mold individual behavior. By what means can
the individual gain or lose social status? To what
extent may and do individuals move from one social
class to another? Is there opportunity for change of
social status in the local community or must the indi-
vidual go outside of it to seek higher status? Are
changes taking place in the social structure which tend
to alter or reorient individual attitudes or behavior
such as a new stress on competition, new desires created
by education which the society does not satisfy, strains
of increased mobility on family ties, etc. Present the
main personality characteristics of the people, including
those characteristics which the society considers
especially desirable or undesirable.
? Compare the roles of men and of women in the so-
ciety. Indicate the influence of sex differences on
patterns of social mobility, on the total impact of social
mores, on individual behavior, and on the structure of
social taboos and distinctions. Note distinctive be-
havior patterns of each sex toward the other.
b. SOCIAL GROUPS ? Note the relative importance
of major types of activities and groups in the function-
ing of the society. These may be tribal groups, kin
groups, economic groups, religious groups, language
groups, etc. If there are significant racial, ethnic, or
other segments of the society which, even though they
have acquired the major characteristics of the society,
are seen as having separate group identity, note: 1)
their size and distribution in relation to the dominant
group and to the society as a whole (cross-refer to

in the social structure; 4) the degree of isolation main-
taMed; 5) any special legal provisions made for them;
and 6) their significance to the national strength or
weakness. Summarize the distinctive social motiva-
tions of each such segment. What effect does member-
ship in these groups have on individual behavior and
personality development? For a discussion of social
organization and values of nationally important groups
of predominantly different culture, such as the Africans
in South Africa, cross-refer to Subsection G, below.
Does the society have a national power elite group or
groups distinct from the social classes? If so, note
whether their power is mainly political, economic, re-
ligious, intellectual, or social. Comment on each group
from the following viewpoints: usual background of the
elite membership, breadth of social base from which
members are recruited, their education, the ease of
admittance to the group, intragroup mores, nature and
type of influence, training and discipline, their custom-
ary means of acquiring information, interest in and
level of understanding of national and international
problems, basic attitudes and predispositions toward
the United States, U.S.S.R., etc., manner of exercising
influence and molding opinion, flexibility and account-
ability of the leaders and the response to them. Is
leadership considered a group or individual responsibil-
ity and prerogative? What behavior is expected of
followers? To what extent does the public support
them and by what means? Indicate probable future
trends concerning their effectiveness.
What is the typical motivation of individuals of the
elite group, to what extent are they satisfied or frus-
trated, and what are their vulnerabilities both as indi-
viduals and as a group under the impact of domestic or
foreign pressures to which they are or may be subjected?
In particular, does the elite give expression to the ex-
pectations or needs of the society as a whole? What
combinations of power, either through overlapping
leadership or agreement on concerted action, are
apparent or likely to develop?
? 2. THE FAMILY
Explain the characteristic forms of family and kin-
ship groupings (whether single family, joint family,
clan, etc.). Note important intrafamily relationships
(including the status of the father and the mother in
the family, the relationships of sons and daughters with

in such matters as inheritance and family support.
PAGE 6
JULY 1957
Comment on the disciplinary training of children and
the processes and symbols of growth. Analyze the role
of the family as a basic unit of the society. To what
extent does the family as a group participate in com-
munity affairs? To what extent does family affiliation
determine social status? Are most marriages within
the community or with persons of other communities?
What is the domicile pattern? Compare the family
pattern and influence with that of the family in the
United States. Do family patterns differ significantly
for different segments of the population?racial, reli-
gious, regional, urban, or economic? Are family patterns
changing; if so, in what direction and why? Special
attention should be given under this subtopic to mar-
riage and those distinctive processes of child-rearing
from birth to maturity which demonstrably form or
affect basic social attitudes? (See below, under Social
Values, Attitudes and Customs.)
3. THE COMMUNITY
Discuss the social structure in relation to the local
community. Do the villages, cities, and regions of the
country display distinctive spatial patterns, such as
the location of dwelling units in relation to areas of
work? Are there distinctive community patterns for
racial and ethnic groups in the society? For agricul-
tural and industrial centers? For rural and. urban
areas? Illustrate with photos. At what level of de-
velopment are community facilities and services? Does
the community provide facilities for the customary
leisure-time activities? How do the physical charac-
teristics of these communities affect their social organi-
zation? Note characteristic community-type special
interest groups or organizations (cross-refer to SECTION
52 for local government). To what extent, and how,
are community patterns influenced by the national
government?
4. SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS AND MOVE-
MENTS
Note extent to which the people seek self-expression
and prestige through organized groups in the society
and are traditionally "joiners." Describe important
social organizations other than those formed on the
basis of social status or family or those political, eco-
nomic, labor, and military groups discussed elsewhere.
This discussion might include such organizations as
significant patriotic societies, veterans' organizations,
civic groups, secret societies, cooperatives (other than
those covered in SECTIONS 44, 46, and 61), lodges, busi-
ness and professional associations (not covered in
SECTIONS 43 and 44), women's organizations, youth
groups, sports and other special interest organizations

tion, and financial resources. A table listing these
organizations and giving the essential data on each
would be appropriate and valuable for those organiza-
tions not presented in detail elsewhere.
In some countries, there are social movements which
include several types of organizations; for example, the
labor movement, the missionary movement, or the
youth movement. Where such movements exist, de-
scribe the origin, causal conditions, goals, membership
and participation, directing leaders or agencies, and
activities. Describe the opposition to the movement.
If the movement is subversive in character, cross-refer
to SECTION 57.

and leadership within each important organization and
movement? What are their professed or real aims?
Estimate the influence of each as a center of group
action and its strength in attitude formation. How
are the attitudes of members molded? Comment on
the c-omposition and distinguishing characteristics of
the leadership. Note attitudes and predispositions of
each group toward the United States, U.S.S.R. and
other bloc countries, neighbors, and other countries with
which the society has ties or influence. Does it exert
leadership in regard to major internal or foreign poli-
cies? What tools are used to influence the public?
Comment on the significant leaders of each group, with
cross reference to SECTION 59 or the NIS Key Per-
sonalities unit as appropriate.
5. THE INDIVIDUAL IN _THE SOCIETY
Although the individual takes his values from his
social group, the complete picture of the individual
often does not emerge from such a social focus of
analysis. The individual as he conceives himself and
the manner in which he interprets his relations to others
are of additional importance. What traits in others
does he prize? Does he see others in antagonistic or
cooperative relation to himself? Are persons helping
him or hindering him in his achievement of aims?
What is his view of the basic nature of things, and how
does he feel he is personally involved? (Cross-refer to
SECTION 43.) What are the chief factors motivating
his behavior, such as religion, ancestry, social position,
wealth, desire for economic security? What arc his
personal definitions of purpose? What does he feel
gives his life meaning? What goals does he seek? Does
he think in terms of a career? Of bettering himself?
What are the sources of his anxiety? What are his
primary frustrations? Does he think that social
changes are affecting his life? If so, how does he feel
about them? Does individual behavior in urban areas
differ markedly from that in rural areas? Is there
regional variation? Are there variations according to
social, economic, or occupational status?
CONFIDENTIAL
E. Social values, attitudes, and customs
1. BASIC VALUE SYSTEM
Every society exhibits certain central themes which
become the basis for understanding behavior in all
areas of social life; for example, the American stress on
competition, the Burmese attitude toward after-life,
and the Chinese notion of filial piety. Describe briefly
the central values of the society, especially those de-
rived from religious and educational systems. (Cross-
refer to SECTION 43.) Are there competing values
which are in conflict? Point out within the framework
of the central value system, what the goals of the society
as a whole are?material property, peace, conquest,
preservation of the culture, racial superiority, propaga-
tion of a religion or ideology, etc.? Do the means of
achieving these accepted individual and collective goals
accord generally with democratic or authoritarian
standards? What are the characteristic fears both of
the individual and of the whole society associated with
the effort to achieve the respective goals? Indicate
briefly any significant similarities and contrasts in basic
values existing between the society concerned and the
United States or other countries with which the society
is intimately concerned.
Is the basic value system undergoing change and, if
so, what is the direction of this change, what are the
chief factors causing it, and how rapidly is it proceed-
ing? Is man's role conceived to be that of opposing,
accepting, or provoking social change; of accepting his
physical environment or changing it, for example,
through adoption of improved methods of production
or new modes of life such as urbanization?
What are the most effective sanctions motivating or
inhibiting behavior, such as prestige, material rewards,
ostracism, legal punishment, the outstanding beliefs,
traditions, myths and taboos, etc.? (Cross-refer to
SECTION 43 under Religion and/or to SECTION 54 under
the Penal System.) To what extent is deviant be-
havior from group norms tolerated?
Describe any significant rural-urban, ethnic, sex,
class, or racial group differences in basic social values
and motivations. Cross-refer to Subsection G. Dis-
tinctive Culture Groups, below. Indicate the extent
to which these differences threaten national solidarity.
2. BASIC ATTITUDES
Discuss under this subheading only the prevailing
and more lasting attitudes of the people, rather than
current public opinion. Identify the specific groups
whose attitudes are presented. Where possible, indi-
cate major group differences from national norms. The
attitudes discussed here are the deep-seated concepts
growing out of the basic value system. Cross-refer to
other Sections such as SECTIONS 53, 55, and 58, for atti-
tudes on specific national, domestic, and foreign con-
ditions or issues.

toward their own society and toward various classes
and/or groups in the society are developed by the cul-
ture and how are they molded? Note basic attitudes
and awareness of the people toward freedom or the
subordination of the individual and the factors in the
social experience of the various groups which foster
this attitude. What is the attitude of the people
toward the responsibility of the society for the welfare
of its members? (Cross-refer to SECTION 46.) What
attitudes tend to divide the people into antagonistic
groups? Are the unifying attitudes basically strong
enough to prevent divisive attitudes from being a threat

behavior such stereotypes evoke, using the great leaders
of the nation's past to illustrate. What emotions are
attached to structured positions in the nation such as
the crown, the governor-generalship, the presidency,

people's attitude toward persons holding political office
characterized by a widespread feeling of cynicism, un-
questioning worship, confidence, or something else?
b. TOWARD OTHER SOCIETIES ? What are the
basic attitudes toward peoples of other societies and
other cultures?curiosity, fear, friendliness, respect,

sauna (steam bath) of Finland. What social values
are demonstrated in these customs? Who participates
in them? Have these customs been modified by urbani-
zation, industrialization, ideological pressures, war or
other changes?

A. General
The purpose of this Subsection is to provide an ap-
propriate approach to a full consideration of the prob-
lem of manpower and its capabilities. It is not a
digest of what follows in the remainder of the Section.
How have the basic characteristics of the society
affected manpower utilization? Has it developed a
scientific maturity in the utilization of manpower and
the exploitation of its natural resources? What is the
dominant economic activity? Has the society a primi-
tive or mature economy? Is the society rigidly organ-
ized along economic lines or is there a fluid situation?
Analyze briefly the extent of opportunities for eco-
nomic advancement, utilization of specialized skills
and training, attitudes toward work (especially toward

national strength and stability? Has the society had
experience in centralized governmental control of its
manpower resources in the past, and what is the situa-
tion today? What in general, is government policy
toward labor and labor-management relations? To
what extent is forced or slave labor utilized and what
is its significance to the economy?

B. Manpower resources
1. TOTAL MANPOWER RESOURCES
Describe briefly the total manpower resources of the
country, including not only the labor force (those cur-
rently engaged in economic activity including workers
who are unemployed, the armed forces, and other
governmental personnel) but also the labor reserve
(those able to work in time of crisis but not now in the
labor force). Of the total manpower resources, what
percentage is in the labor force? Note the size of
the labor force, indicating the number and/or percent-
age under 15 years of age, between 15 and 64, and over
65. Discuss also the size of the labor reserve. Note
the relationship to the nation's manpower of the balance
of the population (the residual population) who are
unemployable, as well as of the labor reserve. Esti-
mate the percentage of the total manpower resources
trained and/or experienced in the techniques of modern
industrialized production and services and of primitive
subsistence economy.
2. LABOR FORCE
What percent of the working-age group in the popu-
lation (conventionally defined as those aged 15 to 64
inclusive) are in the labor force? Comment in regard
to the age-sex distribution. Illustrate, if possible, by
a labor force pyramid superimposed on the population
pyramid (see SECTION 41). Note any significant
deviations from the overall pattern of economic par-
ticipation on the part of racial or ethnic minorities.
Show the trends and prospects for a change in the
size of the labor force (by sex), indicating how the size
of the labor force is affected by such factors as seasonal
changes, business and other conditions calling for
partial or full mobilization, and social, technological,
and structural changes. Note the significant changes
in definitions and enumerative procedures which may
be reflected in the statistics presented.
a. COMPOSITION AND DISTRIBUTION ? Analyze the
characteristics of the labor force, pointing out trends
and factors of special importance to the develop-
ment of a modern industrialized economy such as the
general level of aptitudes and educational background
needed. Insofar as possible, compare with neighboring
or rival countries. Also show significant trends as
indicators of the various types of labor mobility (indus-
trial, occupational, status, and territorial). If appro-
priate, note the occupational specialization of minority
groups.
Show the industrial composition of the labor force
in tabular form, by sex if possible, commenting on the
significance of numbers engaged in the major sectors
of the economy: 1) agriculture, forestry and fishing;
2) mining, construction, manufacturing, and utilities;
and 3) the supply, and service industries. Discuss the
role of mechanization and other factors necessary to

an understanding of labor-force trends in the principal
industries of the country.
(1) Types of occupation ? For many countries,
the census data will show the distribution of the labor
force members not only by industries in which they are
engaged but also by occupational groups, i.e., the types
of work they do. Both types of information are de-
sired, with an appraisal of the extent to which certain
occupational groupings are concentrated in specific
industry groups. The data for each occupational group
in the table should show number of males and females,
and percentage of total labor force. Also analyze the
labor force as to the proportion of managerial, technical,
skilled, and unskilled workers, if possible with a break-
down for age and sex. Comment on the manner and
extent to which the mechanization of industries has
affected occupations, and on the established profes-
sions. (Cross-refer to SECTIONS 42 and 43 where perti-
nent.)
(2) Occupational status ? Analyze the distribu-
tion of the labor force in the following groups: 1) em-
ployers and the self-employed; 2) unpaid family
workers; 3) salaried employees; and 4) wage earners.
Analyze by industry groups with age-sex breakdown
where feasible. Note the extent of employment of
women, children under 15, and persons over 65. Note
the extent of family industries and the size of the
entrepreneurial class in relation to wage and salary
workers. Where possible, give data indicating the
trend in the movement of workers from one status to
another.
(3) Geographic distribution ? Indicate the sig-
nificant aspects of geographic distribution of the
workers, especially as to concentrations of types of
workers and skills in specific localities. If possible,
illustrate with a map showing the locations of major
types of industries including agriculture and the
approximate number of workers employed, indicating
whether these areas offer a variety of occupations (for
men; for women). Are there areas in which there is a
high degree of competition for certain types of skills or
for unskilled labor? Comment on the territorial
mobility of workers, distinguishing long-term tendencies
(cross-refer to SECTION 41 for immigration and emigra-
tion and internal migration) and short-term aspects
(such as commuting, seasonal migrations, or employ-
ment in neighboring countries).
(4) Unemployment and underemployment ? Note
the number and proportion of the unemployed in the
labor force, if possible by regional sectors of the econ-
omy. These would include migrants, refugees, dis-
placed persons, workers laid off through cutbacks,
those in process of changing jobs, unpaid helpers
(usually family dependents), and victims of misfortune
(on relief). Note the extent of underemployment by

b. GOVERNMENTAL SERVICES PERSONNEL ? The
purpose of this topic is to appraise the importance of
governmental personnel in relation to the total labor
force. For some countries it will be useful to distin-
guish the public and private segments of the labor force,
with a breakdown of the public segment into such
categories as: armed forces, police and other para-
military services, administrative services, and other
public services and industries (such as teaching, com-
munications, mining, construction, manufacturing,
commerce, transport, etc.).
(1) Armed forces in relation to the civilian labor
force?What percentage of the population is in the
armed forces? Are there women in the armed forces
and for what type of work are they recruited? Do the
armed forces provide training in skills which are trans-
ferable to the civilian economy? Show the manpower
used in the armed forces, if possible, by means of an
age-sex pyramid superimposed on the total labor force
pyramid. Indicate what percentage of the population
is enrolled in the military reserve forces and would not
therefore be available to the civilian economy in case
of total mobilization. Indicate also, if possible, the
percentage of the civilian labor force which is composed
of veterans of the armed forces and the percentage of
these veterans which is enrolled in the military reserve
forces. How large a civilian force is employed by the
government to service the military and in what types
of work is it utilized? (Coordinate with CHAPTER
VIII.)
(2) Police and other governmental personnel ? In
some countries the support of governmental personnel
(including police) imposes a substantial burden on the
public. Is there a large police, fire-fighting, protective,
custodial, and industrial force maintained by the gov-
ernment? (Coordinate with SECTION 54.) If so, indi-
cate the size of this group and the percentage of the
total labor force it constitutes.
C. EXT ENT OF FORCED LABOR ? In those areas
where forced labor exists, present a quantitative anal-
ysis of the forced and/or convict labor population,
noting geographic distributions where possible. Re-
serve detailed discussion of forced labor for Subsection
C, 3 below.
3. LABOR RESERVE
Discuss briefly the characteristics and activities of
the labor reserve, pointing out skills and experience
which would be available in time of emergency. Note
the customs of the society which would condition the
full utilization of this potential; i.e., to what extent
and how are women educated and employed? Is there
a marked difference between men and women in the
training and experience they receive? What is the
attitude and practice of the society in regard to the
employment of children? Are there religious or social
taboos concerning types of employment for special
PAGE 16

classes or groups in the population? Of the reserve,
how many, or what percentage, are now in technical
schools, colleges, or universities? Is the practice of
unpaid apprenticeship widespread? Comment on the
practices and policies concerning the utilization of
those over 65 years of age.
C. Labor legislation and agencies of govern-
ment
1. BASIC LABOR LEGISLATION
Discuss briefly the nature and scope of basic labor
legislation (with dates), such as the following: the
legal right to organize, strike, and bargain collectively;
wages, hours, and conditions of employment; the em-
ployment of women and children; the employment of
veterans; social insurance (cross-refer to SECTIONS 46
and 52). To what extent is labor legislation a political
issue? Comment briefly on the relation of existing
labor legislation to the actual conditions and demands
of labor.
2. MANPOWER PLANNING
Is there government policy-planning, guidance or
control (budgeting, etc.) of manpower utilization; of
turnover; of transfer between industries, etc.? Are
regulations enforced? Are there government manpower
controls over all labor or over important segments such
as those with scarce skills; or is there an entirely free
competitive labor market? Were there wartime man-
power controls? If so, comment on the organization of
manpower resources and. the degree of public support.
How and to what extent do management and labor
participate in the formulation of government policy
and practices on employment?
3. FORCED LABOR
In those areas where it is the policy of the govern-
ment to use slave or forced labor, state the significance
of this source of manpower to the economy and its
potentials in case of war. Note the industries and
occupations most affected by the use of this type of
labor. (Reserve for SECTION 54 the discussion of
convict or forced labor under the penal system.) If
forced labor exists outside the penal system, discuss
work and living conditions. What are public attitudes
toward forced labor and what is the attitude of
organized labor?
4. LABOR AGENCIES OF GOVERNMENT
Comment briefly on the agencies of government de-
signed to work on problems of labor. (Cross-refer to
SECTION 52.) How do these agencies serve the interests
of labor and management? How effectively do they
protect the foreign employers (especially U.S. business)
and foreign workers? In this connection, a chart show-
ing the structure of the ministry or department of labor
and its enforcement agencies is desirable.

Where suitable, also present the government ma-
chinery for the consideration of labor disputes such as
the labor courts and arbitration boards. (Cross-refer
IO SECTION 52.)
D. Standards and practices of employment
1. UTILIZATION OF TIIE LABOR SUPPLY
Is there any centralized planning on the utilization
of the labor supply on the part of government, manage-
ment, or labor? Describe the overall pattern of prac-
tices and attitudes of workers and employers in regard
to the method and degree of employment.
a. UTILIZATION OF CAPABILITIES ? IS the labor
supply utilized to its fullest capacity? Are there im-
pediments to the free exercise of a worker's ability to
secure suitable employment such as social distinctions
based, for example, on class, family, race, or religion?
Can the worker become a manager or employer? State
whether any trades or other occupations are the special
province of any particular religious, ethnic, or other
groups. If so, indicate any institutional or other
handicaps to efficient development of the ,manpower
potential.
Discuss the training made available by management,
unions, and government for the worker's fuller develop-
ment of his capacities, including apprenticeship train-
ing, on-the-job training, union training, and vocational
training available in the schools and in adult education
programs, noting the nature and extent of these pro-
grams and the worker's utilization of them. (Cross-
refer to SECTION 43.) Is the economy sufficiently fluid
for the worker to move upward as he develops his
skills through training and experience?
b. PRODUCTIVITY ? Discuss the productivity of
labor in agriculture, industry, and other important
occupations, with special reference to human and
technological factors affecting output, e.g., ability and
willingness of labor to learn new techniques and adjust
to the demands of the work situation, quota system,
interchangeability of manual labor, managerial ability,
government and union restrictions, and incentives such
as high pay, job security, status factors, and other
benefits. How much do turnover, absenteeism, work
slowdowns, and other forms of worker resistance affect
production? Are they an indication of social unrest?
C. MOBILITY OF LABOR AND HIRING PRACTICES ?
Discuss methods of recruiting, systems of apprentice-
ship, labor contracts, conscription, etc. Can labor
move freely between geographic locations, from occupa-
tion to occupation, and from industry to industry?
How much and what kind of labor mobility is there;
e.g., primarily seasonal, or sporadic? Have well-
defined trends developed? Has this movement of labor
resulted in a condition of instability or growth?
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
d. , UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT?
What are the causes of unemployment and underem-
ployment and what industries and occupations are most
affected? Identify that part of the labor force which
has the largest number available but not actively em-
ployed. Discuss technological unemployment. Do
technically trained or educated personnel experience
difficulty in securing employment because of the system
of recruitment such as the appointment of family con-
nections, political preference or preference for heads of
families? Discuss the special problems of youth in
competition with older workers; women; and racial or
other minority problems of employment. Discuss the
unemployed and underemployed from the standpoint
of sources of economic and social unrest. What is the
attitude of these groups toward the economic system
of which they are a part? Do they have assistance,
public or private? (Cross-refer IO SECTION 46.) Does
their economic status create an element of instability
for the society as a whole?
Discuss underemployment and the industries in
which this is most prevalent. What are its causes?
To what extent and in what types of work are partially
disabled workers and convicts and prisoners employed?
2. INCOME
Describe methods of wage determination. Indicate
briefly trends of wage rates and real earnings and the
effects of these on government wage-price policy.
Where possible, show the range of wage rates paid
skilled, semiskilled, and unskilled labor, and of salaries
paid white-collar and professional workers. Specify
wage rates for both men and women; include also be-
ginners' pay and that for apprentices and young work-
ers. Indicate "low-wage" and "high-wage" industries
and trends in the wage gap between them. In those
economies where compensation is paid wholly or partly
in kind, indicate nature of payment. What additions
to real income are derived from such items as social
services and family allowances, housing and purchasing
discounts, old age pensions, sickness insurance, etc.?
What is the attitude of workers toward the wage scale?
3. WORKING CONDITIONS
Indicate briefly the character of working conditions
in general and in important industries. To what
extent are working conditions controlled by the gov-
ernment? Is there a highly developed understanding
of industrial hygiene and occupational hazards and
are the workers insured against disaster? Are special-
ized clothing and safety devices required? If possible,
include pictures of typical working conditions in major
industries. To what extent are housing, stores, and
other community facilities and services provided or
controlled by management? Are the working condi-
tions and fringe benefits or lack of them a source of
employee discontent?

are they trained in the methods of scientific manage-
ment? Discuss, for the several levels of management,
educational practices and information facilities, inter-
national ties and exchanges, especially with the United
States and the U.S.S.R. In addition to an overall
appraisal and description of the entrepreneurial and
management groups, such questions as the following
should be noted: the part management plays in na-
tional life; regard for the public interest as opposed to
personal interest; and predispositions and attitudes
toward the role of government and toward national
policies.
Include a brief description and analysis of U.S. and
other foreign industrial management activities in the
country in regard to information and training pro-
grams and, when significant, what the attitudes of the
people are toward such activities. (Coordinate with

JULY 7957
Describe the prevailing patterns of work, exclusive
of management and the armed services, indicating
whether these are in process of change and, if so, what
forces are precipitating such change. Is the work
which is necessary for the maintenance of the economy
done largely by a labor force highly specialized and
highly organized in unions, or by people working in
traditional family, clan, or caste patterns of associa-
tion? Are there any pronounced patterns of work
related to ethnic or political factors in the community
(e.g., as a result of colonialism)? If the economy is in
process of change from nonindustrialized agriculture,
crafts, or herding to modern industry, including mass
production, note the occupation(s), geographic areas,
and segments of the population most affected by the
change. What percentage of the civilian labor force
is working in occupations which are frequently union-
ized in industrial societies? Compare this number
with the actual extent of unionization.
7. ORGANIZATION OF LABOR
List the. national federations of labor organizations,
each with its major constituents, showing the basis of

Indicate briefly the political affiliations of organized
labor and the political role it plays. To what extent
and how does labor participate in the formulation of
national political and economic policies? Note the
reactions of various elements in the society to this
relationship. Has the government or any nonlabor
group established or sponsored any labor organizations?
If so, why? Note reaction of labor. Correlate this dis-
cussion of the political ties of labor with CHAPTER V,
particularly SECTIONS 53 and 55, to avoid extensive
duplication.

OUTLINE GUIDE
The following outline guide 'indicates substance and general ar-
rangement. In preparation and typing of manuscript, Standard
Editorial Instructions are followed in detail.
Section 50. Introduction
This Section serves as a political introduction both
to the country and to the other Sections of CHAPTER
V, drawing upon chapter content to present a political
overview but avoiding a summary. It should show the
strategic significance of the political, aspects of the
country and indicate, however briefly, the relative
significance of, and interrelationships among, those
specific aspects that are the subjects of SECTIONS 51-58.
Include a brief overall evaluation of the political
strength and international influence of the nation in
terms of degree of national unity, will to independence,
strength of purpose, fighting spirit, relative stability
and efficiency of the political system, locus of power,
the nature and significance of the relationships between
A. General
JULY 1957
thb military and political systems, and basic objectives
of the government and the nation at home and abroad.
Where relevant, include brief reference to the develop-
ment and character of nationalism. (Correlate with the
discussion of basic attitudes in SECTION 42.)
Historical factors affecting present day political
attitudes and institutions should be woven into the
above discussion to the extent necessary to explain
these attitudes and institutions. (Political background
material in SECTION 50 should be so correlated with the
discussions in CHAPTER IV, SECTION 40, and CHAPTER
VI, SECTION 60, that together they will give a rounded
picture of significant social, economic, and political
background on the area.)
Section 51. The Constitutional System
This Subsection provides an appropriate approach
to the description of the general nature of the constitu-
tional system contained in the remainder of the Section.
It notes briefly significant developments in the na-
tion's constitutional history, taking into account such
factors as traditional respect for and adherence to con-
stitutional processes. and civil rights. The Subsection
also indicates the relationship between the constitu-
tional system and the degree of national political sta-
bility and efficiency. (Correlate all SECTION 51 mate-
rial with the Outline Guide for SECTION 52, which
covers in detail structure, organization, and function-
ing of the various branches and agencies of the govern-
ment at national, regional, and local levels.)
B. Constitution
1. ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT
Discuss briefly the origin and development of the
present constitution, including the political, economic,
and social groups dominant when the constitution was
adopted, the foreign influences present, and the extent
PAGE 2
to which it represented public opinion at the time of
adoption. Include an estimate of the current degree
of popular support of the constitution; note briefly
factors contributing to that support and those arous-
ing resentment.
2. PRINCIPAL FEATURES
The type of government for which the constitution
provides is defined and the salient features of the system
described, but only to the extent necessary to give the
reader a general understanding of the character of the
constitutional system. (Reserve detailed discussion of
these salient features for Subsections C, D, and E.)
The relationship between the principal provisions of the
constitution and actual practice is indicated in general
terms. Features which differentiate the constitution
from those of the past may be considered briefly. The
amending process and the interpretation of the consti-
tution by the various branches of government are dis-
cussed, particularly with regard to its flexibility in
terms of responsiveness to the popular will and the
degree to which it is susceptible to manipulation by
government officials.

C. Constitutional pattern of government
Describe briefly the national pattern of government
established by the constitution, indicating the prin-
cipal powers of each branch of government, the rela-
tionships among the several branches, and the extent
to which pertinent constitutional provisions are ap-
plied in actual practice. Outline the constitutional
provisions determining the pattern of regional and
local government if this aspect is not covered ade-
quately under Principal Features above. (Reserve for
SECTION 52 the discussion of details of the constitution
pertaining to organization and functioning of the vari-
ous branches and agencies of the government at all
levels.)
D. Civil and religious rights and privileges
Give the constitutional and legal provisions and a
statement of the actual situation in respect to civil and
religious rights and privileges, considering especially
freedom of speech, press, radio, assembly, organization,
and religion. The civil and religious rights and privi-
leges of foreigners, particularly Americans, are exam-
ined and compared with those of nationals. With
respect to the suffrage, only law and practice concern-
ing the qualifications of electors such as age, sex, and
property, are considered. (Percentage of the popula-
tion excluded from voting and extent of actual partici-
pation in elections is reserved for SECTION 53.)

CONFIDENTIAL
E. Other important provisions of the consti-
tution (optional)
Describe in broad terms other important constitu-
tional provisions such as those relating to economic,
social, and military matters, if separate Subsection
treatment is deemed appropriate. (In some instances
a Subsection entitled "Economic and social provisions"
may be preferred.) Note any important differences
between constitutional provisions and actual practice.
(Avoid extensive duplication of detail on these pro-
visions that might more appropriately appear in other
Sections, e.g., in the Subsection on Labor in SECTION
44, or in SECTION 46, Welfare.)
F. Comments on principal sources
This Subsection serves the following purposes:
To provide an evaluation of the principal source ma-
terial used in preparing the Section and thereby inform
the user of the general credibility to be accorded the
intelligence contained in the Section.
To indicate those aspects of the subject about which
information is deficient or unavailable and thereby
provide general guidance for collection effort. In this
connection, only the principal sources actually used
are indicated.
Section 52. Structure of the Government
This Subsection provides an appropriate approach to
and framework for the treatment of material contained
in the remainder of the Section and should be brief.
It takes into consideration conditions, situations, and
practices which alter the structure or operation of gov-
ernment as provided for in the constitution. There is
an analysis of the relationship of the central, regional,
and local governments, indicating factors of strength
and weakness in this relationship. (Include an orienta-
tion map, showing administrative boundaries.) The
analysis might also indicate the extent to which the
framework for regional and local government differs
from that established for the nation as a whole. Indi-
cate the nature and degree of popular participation at
all levels of government and the extent to which govern-
ment officials are political leaders. Describe briefly
the general characteristics, qualifications, and perform-
ance of the bureaucracy as a group. Note any signifi-
cant regional or other variations,

B. Central government
Describe in detail and with the aid of appropriate
charts the legislative, executive, and judicial branches
of the government, including representative subdivi-
sions and agencies of each branch, and civil defense
agencies. This discussion includes basic legal pro-
visions (except those covered in SECTION 51) and
actual procedures of operation to the extent needed
to provide a clear understanding of the structure,
authority, functioning, and effectiveness of the central
government and its major agencies. Include character
of personnel, with specific reference to significant indi-
viduals where helpful (correlate with SECTION 59 or the
Key Personalities unit). The material is presented in
such a way as to give the reader a clear conception of
the actual locus of power in formation and administra-
tion of public policy.
In discussing the judicial organization and court
structure indicate the general character of the body of
law, written or? unwritten, upon which the system is
based (reserve detailed discussion of the penal code and

prosecuting agencies and court officials in the judicial
organization, indicating briefly the function of the most.
important but re-Serving discussion of their roles in the
penal system for SECTION 54. Include also such
judicial and quasi-judicial bodies as labor and commer-
cial courts. In this and other Subsections avoid
excessive quotations from laws and regulations.
Any significant demands for change on the part of
influential groups, e.g., the military, are pointed out,
with cross-reference to SECTION 53 for details concerning
the group?
C. Regional government
Delineate the major political subdivisions, e.g., states
in the United States, and describe structural organiza-
tion and procedures of operation. It may be essential
to include some data of the type called for in Subsection
B in cases where an understanding of the nature,
effectiveness, and popular support of the regional gov-
ernments is necessary to an understanding of the
operations of the political system as a whole.
D. Local government
The considerations applicable in Subsections B and
C above are applicable here.
A. General
E. Dependencies and associated states
Discuss types of dependencies (colonies, trust terri-
tories, protectorates), their governmental organization
and relation to the mother country, and the extent of
internal conflict and its domestic and international
implications. (Tabular treatment may be used to sup-
plement discussion.) Illustrate with map if appro-
priate. Describe the structure and internal relation-
ships of associations of states (e.g., British Common-
wealth of Nations, French Union, etc.) which have
grown out of previous colonial relationships. Where a
country has no dependencies, omission of this Subsec-
tion is appropriate and such lack of dependencies would
then be mentioned in Subsection A.
F. Comments on principal sources
This Subsection serves the following purposes:
To provide an evaluation of the principal source
material used in preparing the Section and thereby
inform the user of the general credibility to be accorded
the intelligence contained in the Section.
To indicate those aspects of the subject about which
information is deficient or unavailable and thereby
provide general guidance for collection effort, In this
connection, only the principal sources actually used are
indicated.
Section 53. Political Dynamics
This Subsection provides an appropriate approach
to the material contained in the remainder of the
Section. It outlines the salient features of the political
system, indicating the locus of power, the nature of
political leadership and the manner in which it is exer-
cised, the extent to which political power is used within
or outside of the constitutional system, and the degree
of governmental and constitutional stability and in-
stability arising out of the political system. It dis-
cusses the development and extent of political aware-
ness among the people and indicates the degree to which
education and past experience prepare them for political
responsibility. Throughout, the Subsection relates
political surface phenomena to underlying social, eco-
nomic, and cultural forces, with cross-references to the
appropriate Sections in CHAPTER IV and CIIAPTER VI.
In this connection indicate the political effects of
social tensions from such factors as class struggles,
labor-management disputes, the aspirations of minority
groups, and religious beliefs. While discussion of sub-
versive activities, whether by legal or illegal groups, is
reserved for this Chapter, SECTION 57, the effects of
PAGE 4
such activities on the country's political dynamics are
briefly described in this Subsection with cross-reference
to SECTION 57. Finally, the Subsection might compare
the system of political dynamics and its leadership with
those of the United States or other appropriate coun-
tries.
B. Political parties
This Subsection sets forth the constitutional and
legal provisions defining a party, regulating member-
ship, governing collection and expenditure of money,
and controlling campaigns. These provisions are com-
pared with actual conditions and significant proposals
for change.
The major existing legal parties are described?in-
cluding economic, social, and religious interests repre-
sented, internal organization, avowed program and
apparent real objectives, position on major issues of
national policy, attitudes toward the United States,
U.S.S.R., and other foreign nations, propaganda and
propaganda methods, finances, recruitment, rank-and-
file control, and intraparty disputes that may affect
party orientation. Mention should be made of out-

standing national leaders, and their major influence on
party policies. (Correlate with SECTION 59 and/or the
Key Personalities unit.) The influence of the parties
in the formation of public opinion as well as their own
susceptibility to propaganda, both foreign and domestic,
and other vulnerabilities is analyzed. A brief account
of the history of political parties is included where neces-
sary to explain trends in political alignments and
objectives. There also is a comparison of party
strength at the national, regional, and local levels.
Significant concentrations of strength are noted, and
an effort made to estimate the role played by each party
in regional and local government as well as in national
affairs. Include a brief evaluation of the strength of
subversive groups in relation to other political group-
ings if subversive elements significantly affect the
country's political dynamics (reserve details on such
groups for SECTION 57). Legal quasi-political parties
or groups having political influence to an extent greater
than that normally attributed to pressure groups are
discussed here. Portray the distribution of the major
parties. Include the ratio of party strength to the
population, urban and rural, and the extent and loca-
tion, indicating where there has been a significant turn-
over in party membership at any level. As appropriate
use graphics or tabular presentation.
C. Electoral procedures
This Subsection describes in detail the mechanics of
important elections, evaluating them as representative
procedures (coordinate with SECTIONS 51 and 52) . It
includes the important constitutional and legal pro-
visions governing the character of the ballot, guaran-
tees of secrecy, accuracy of counting, and a discussion
of actual practices. It also notes any significant resent-
ment toward the electoral system or demands for
change. With respect to the suffrage, the groups ex-
cluded, percentage of population excluded, and the
extent of actual participation are discussed in detail.
D. Pressure groups
This Subsection examines in detail the function of
pressure groups in the political system, the manner in
which political pressure is exercised and its effect upon
the political process. It discusses the constitutional
and legal position with respect to lobbying, propa-
ganda, expenditure of money, and participation in
elections, as well as the extent to which public opinion
sanctions, tolerates, or disapproves the exercise of
political pressure by private groups. It identifies the
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
groups or organizations of major importance, indicating
for each the race, size, character, and distribution of
its membership, organization, financial resources,
habits, and relation (if any) to foreign governments.
When feasible, this information is presented in tabular
form. Give a brief analysis of the outstanding
national leaders and their major influence on the groups
with which they are associated. (Correlate with SEC-
TION 59 and/or the Key Personalities unit.) Apparent
objectives are briefly analyzed and an effort made to
estimate the influence of each group in national and
local affairs, and its overall ability to affect U.S. inter-
ests. The discussion brings out the position of these
groups on major issues of national policy, their attitudes
toward the United States, the U.S.S.R., and other
foreign nations, their propaganda and propaganda
methods, and the role they play in molding public
opinion, as well as their own susceptibility to propa-
ganda, both foreign and domestic. (Whenever appro-
priate, cross-refer to SECTION 58.)
The treatment of pressure groups differentiates be-
tween groups specifically organized for the? purpose of
influencing government policies and activities other
than through elections or subversive action, and those
special-interest groups that are primarily organized for
other purposes but that may act as political pressure
groups when the occasion demands. Only the former
are given primary treatment in this Subsection; the
latter may include labor unions, employers' organiza-
tions, consumer cooperatives, veterans' groups, youth
movements, and similar organized groups whose mem-
bership, organization,- finances, etc., have been dis-
cussed at length in other Sections of the NIS (notably
SECTIONS 42, 43, 44, and 46). They should be touched
upon here merely in connection with the issues on which
they become pressure groups, making cross-reference to
the appropriate NIS Sections for the primary treatment.

Section 54. Public Order and Safety
This Subsection provides an appropriate approach
to the material contained in the remainder of the Sec-
tion. It includes a brief discussion of the conditions
affedting the maintenance of public order and safety,
including public attitudes in general toward the admin-
istration of justice. The Subsection indicates any sig-
nificant aspects of the police and penal system as a
whole, such as size, adequacy, extralegal procedure, or
importance as a political, social, or economic force,
which distinguish it from those of other areas. (Treat-
ment of police, intelligence, and defense organizations
insofar as they are concerned primarily with defense
of the regime against political activities at home and
abroad aimed at its overthrow by unlawful means is
reserved for SECTION 56.)
B. Police system
A brief description is given of the organization and
operation of the police system, including a discussion
of the relation to other parts of the government. Also
describe briefly the criminological facilities (such as
fingerprinting and fingerprint files), techniques of riot-
control, organization and jurisdictions of forces for
suppression of crime (including traffic in narcotics), and
the extent of use of police informers. Mention briefly
such devices as police identity cards and registration
systems, if employed primarily for the maintenance of
public order and safety. Discuss fully the nature and
implementation of any civil defense functions that may
be assigned to the police. What are the attitudes of
the public toward the police system? What is the gen-
eral ability of the police to preserve order and safety?
Illustrate, where applicable, with recent incidents that
have left a mark on the minds of the people.
Discuss the police personnel with respect to honesty
and efficiency, the social base from which the person-
nel are recruited, the attributes of leadership, the type
of indoctrination and training received, relations be-
tween officers and men, intraservice rivalries, discipline,
incentives, and in general any factors affecting the
morale of the police, the spirit in which they approach
their task, and their loyalty to the government. The
social standing of the police and the extent to which
police officers can become national leaders are dis-
cussed.
PAGE 6
C. Penal system
Give a brief description of the organization and op-
eration of the penal system including its bake position,
in the legal system, relation to other parts of the gov-
ernment, honesty and efficiency of administration, and
the public attitude toward it. Indicate abuses of the
ethical principles set forth in the system of law, from
the standpoint of the society under discussion. This
Subsection includes a discussion of the criminal codes
and procedure, types of offenses and punishments, legal
or constitutional rights of the individual (with cross-
reference to SECTION 51, Subsection D), and the extent
to which these rights are respected in practice, the
incidence of crime, and the prison and reform system.
In discussing criminal procedure, briefly trace the prin-
cipal steps facing an offender from the time of accusa-
tion to imprisonment or appeal; avoid excessively tech-
nical treatment, stressing marked variations between
legal requirements and practice, and also differences
from U.S. procedures (correlate with SECTIONS 51 and
52). In discussing the rehabilitation of former crimi-
nals include women and juvenile delinquents. Explain
the differences, if any, in the handling of criminals and
others sentenced to forced labor for major or minor
criminal or political offenses.
In discussing the penal institutions, including forced
labor and concentration camps, note the governmental
agency responsible for overall administration and con-
trol, and the component exercising local jurisdiction.
Depict by map, where feasible, the number and loca-
tion of penal institutions and camps. Give the name,
location, and size of each major institution, distribu-
tion of estimated total in such institutions by main
categories of inmates, such as political prisoners, crimi-
nals, ethnic groups, religious sects, foreigners, etc.
Where meaningful data are available note work condi-
tions, food, housing, guard system, physical and medi-
cal care available, life expectancy; also morale, effec-
tiveness of indoctrination system, policy in regard to
length of sentence, term of actual service, and screen-
ing for return to private life. Comment on the posi-
tion, rights, and penalties of families of forced laborers.
What are the restrictions placed on released prisoners?
(Correlate with SECTION 44.)
For countries where the courts serve primarily as in-
struments of the regime for the repression and control
of the population, detailed treatment of the judicial
structure may be presented here, or as a separate
Subsection of SECTION 54, rather than in SECTION 52.

Section 55. National Policies
This Subsection provides an appropriate framework
for and approach to the material presented in the re-
mainder of the Section. It identifies briefly the funda-
mental political, psychological, economic, and social
factors necessary to understand national policies as a
whole? e.g., their origins and the major factors con-
ditioning their formulation and implementation, in-
cluding characteristics of individual policymakers if
helpful (with cross-reference to SECTION 59 and the Key
Personalities unit). In some instances, it may be
necessary to emphasize the impact of history upon the
development of national policies. This Subsection like-
wise notes the important interrelationships among
domestic, foreign, and defense policies, especially as to
cause and effect, disproportionate emphasis, and incon-
sistencies and conflicts. The popularity of national
policies as a whole and their significance to the political
system are also touched upon. Any significant differ-
ences in the extent of public awareness, interest, and
level of understanding of national, in 'contrast to inter-
national, problems and policies, are noted. Detailed
discussions of domestic, foreign, and defense policies
are left to the following Subsections.
B. Domestic policies
This Subsection provides a general statement on
domestic policy as a whole and an analysis of major
issues and individual policies that are fundamental to
the, stability of government, that preoccupy public
opinion, or that strongly affect foreign and defense
policies. Where meaningful, include policy on domestic
use and control of nuclear power. Important domestic
issues or policies treated in detail elsewhere in the NIS,
especially in CHAPTERS IV and VI and in other Sections
of CHAPTER V, are discussed briefly here with appro-
priate cross-reference. Such discussions emphasize
CONFIDENTIAL
long-standing and probably continuing trends, and
include a brief consideration of the characteristic
political reactions of the people (such as mistrust of
power), the implementation of policies, and the effects
of domestic policies upon the political system. In
individual instances, it might be advisable to show the
extent to which the domestic policies are patterned
after or integrated with those of another government.
The attitudes of the principal opinion-forming elenients
toward important individual issues or policies are dis-
cussed in some detail. Whenever such groups have
been given primary treatment in other Sections of the
NIS (e.g., political parties and pressure groups in SEC-
TION 53, social organizations in SECTION 42, religious
groups in SECTION 43, labor unions in SECTION 44) dis-
cussion hero is brief and cross-reference is made to the
appropriate Section.
C. Foreign policies
This Subsection presents as concisely as possible the
important relations of the country to and its alignment
with individual countries and major power blocs, and
the principal objectives and policies of the country in
these relationships (correlate with SECTIONS 55 for the
countries concerned). Mention policy on international
use and control of nuclear power, if significant. Indi-
cate the extent of participation in international organi-
zations, and the extent of popular satisfaction with
foreign policies and their conduct. Discuss the organi-
zation and powers of foreign policymaking components
and their relations to other agencies of the government,
supplementing, as necessary, the treatment given in
SECTION 52. The Subsection treats such factors as
evidence of desire for rectification of borders, measures
for exchange of population, measures for expulsion of
ethnic groups, extent of adoption of immigration quotas,
and efforts to extend control over foreign areas. A dis-
cussion of major treaties and agreements of a strategic

nature, particularly those affecting the United States,
is included. Discuss briefly the attitudes of govern-
ment leaders and various groups of the people toward
foreign nations (particularly the U.S.S.R., and the
United States and Americans) and toward international
organizations (especially the United Nations or regional
groupings for defense or other purposes), and toward
foreign investments and foreign aid and the causes
underlying these attitudes. Public attitudes and pop-
ular support for policy in this and the following Subsec-
tion are discussed primarily in relation to specific, cur-
rent issues, leaving the sociological and psychological
analysis of basic and more lasting attitudes to SECTION
42, to which reference is made. While the discussion
indicates whether the attitude of a group or of the pub-
lic at large on a specific issue is deeply rooted or of a
more ephemeral nature and whether it can more or less
easily be influenced by propaganda, it does not attempt
a detailed analysis of the processes of opinion formation
or of prevalent social values of the society.
D. National defense policies
This Subsection discusses the present defense policies
of major political importance, including civil defense.,
and the influence of these policies upon domestic and
foreign policies (avoid duplication of discussion of
domestic and foreign policies, above). A discussion of
World War II policies and postwar changes may be. in-
cluded to provide necessary perspective.. The Subsec-
tion describes the role of the defense establishment and
of the armed forces in the government as far as it affects

defense policies. Differences in viewpoint between the
military establishment and the civilian policymaking
bodies which are significant in the formulation of de-
fense policies are pointed out. The Subsection also
discusses the, influence upon defense policies of official
and popular reactions toward war, rearmament, and
compulsory military training. It identifies lthportant
organized groups (such as veterans' organizations) that
seek to influence the government, the legislature, or
public opinion on issues of national defense. It esti-
mates the impact of action by these organizations on
specific policies, but leaves the primary treatment of
these groups to appropriate other Sections of the NIS,
such as SECTION 43, for religious, educational, and public
information organizations; SECTION 44, for management
and labor groups; SECTION 46, for social welfare bodies;
SECTION 53, for political pressure organizations; SEC-

national structure of civilian and military organizations
concerned with internal security and the procurement
of intelligence on other countries, and discusses their
background and development, demarcations of foreign
and domestic responsibility, political aspects, and pro-
fessional standards. By way of background, enough
of the past is presented to convey a clear understanding
of the present services. As part of the explanation of
general intelligence and security structure, the man-
dates, legal powers, and/or de facto responsibilities of
the services are discussed. Discussion of political

aspects above indicates how the services of intelligence
and security have been shaped or affected by the inter-
national position and subversive situation of the
country (as set forth in SECTION 57 and/or SECTION 50) ;
the discussion also evaluates the relationship of the
intelligence and security services to the government and
the attitude of the populace toward them. Reference
is made, if appropriate, to responsibility for censorship
of public communications and publications. Profes-
sional standards are discussed in terms of integrity,
efficiency, security, and morale and disciplinary meth-
ods. The discussion of standards includes the extent
to which they are met and the general effectiveness of
the services. A careful coordination with other perti-
nent Sections of CHAP CER V is necessary. Primary
treatment of police organizations mainly concerned
with public order and safety is reserved for SECTION 54.

B. Services of intelligence and security
This Subsection is designed to provide information
about the national services of intelligence and security,
both civilian and military, in appropriate detail. It
includes discussion of their functions, organization,
administrative practices, methods of operation, and
relationships with other services. The specific func-
tions of each service are explained in detail; and, so far
as possible, the relative order of significance of these
functions is indicated. The internal structure of each
service is explained, together with the responsibilities
of its subordinate units. Descriptions of complex
organizations are supplemented by charts. Adminis-
trative practices are explained in terms of the selection
and training of staff personnel, budgets and appropria-
tions, salaries, and records and files. The security
practices of each service are analyzed, both with respect
to physical security (classification, guarding, and con-
trol of classified documents, etc.) and security of per-
sonnel (clearances, indoctrination, security conscious-
ness, etc.). As elements of methods of operation,
practices regarding agents are discussed, as well as
techniques, available technical facilities, and devices
for security control of the population. The relation-

C. Key officials
This Subsection presents as concisely as possible the
background of key personalities of the agencies previ-
ously discussed, duly coordinated with SECTIONS 59 and
Key Personalities units of the NIS. The approach is
selective, with emphasis upon those elements of per-
sonal history that have specific bearing upon profes-
sional capabilities and characteristics.
D. Comments on principal sources
This Subsection is designed to aid in the evaluation
of text material. Any portions of the text derived
from covert information not originally produced by the
contributing agency is so indicated. Within the text,
material originally acquired by the contributing agency
and less'than generally reliable is appropriately labeled.
This Subsection indicates, accordingly, that the ma-
terial not thus qualified in the text is considered gen-
erally reliable. If overt materials have been used to
any great extent in the Section, this fact is stated.
A bibliography of such sources may be included.
Section 57. Subversion
A. General
This Subsection provides an appropriate approach to
the material presented in the remainder of the Section.
It discusses the fundamental factors affecting subversive
activities and capabilities in the country. Toward this
end it touches briefly on the underlying social, political,
diplomatic, religious, cultural, and economic factors
making for susceptibility or resistance to Communist
or other forms of subversion. Both vulnerabilities and
strengths are to be related to the social structure, cul-
tural values, social and political institutions, and eco-
nomic conditions as discussed in other Sections of
CHAPTERS IV, V, and VI. Give particular attention to
manifestations of social disunity.
The Subsection presents an overall picture of sub-
versive activities (both Communist and other) from
within or without the country directed against the
regime, characterizing the different types of subversion
and identifying the principal subversive groups and
target groups, especially those in the government and
among police, and defense forces. Note the overall
relative strength, discipline, and influence of sub-
versive groups. Review government policy with re-
spect to subversive activities, including constitutional,
CONFIDENTIAL
legislative, and administrative measures designed to
contain and control subversion, the policies and atti-
tudes of the country's political leadership, and the
effectiveness of police and security forces in dealing
with subversive activities. Whenever possible, the
Subsection concludes with an estimate of overall sub-
versive capabilities and an analysis of subversive
trends, particularly in the government and among
police and defense forces.
B. Soviet and Communist subversive activ-
ities
This Subsection includes a discussion of Soviet and
Communist subversive activities within and directed
against the country, with emphasis upon the activities
of 1) the Communist Party, 2) Communist or Com-
munist-dominated trade unions, and 3) Communist
front organizations, designed to appeal either to the
nation as a whole ("Peace" movement, Soviet Friend-
ship Societies) or to special groups in the population
such as veterans, students, youth, women, racial and
religious minorities, and intellectuals. Each organiza-
tion or group of importance is presented, with informa-
tion as to name, size, character of membership, tech-

activities, strength or weakness of Communist influence
within the groups, internal differences or rivalries among
the leadership, influence in national or local affairs, and
ability to affect U.S. interests. When feasible, such
information may be presented in tabular form. Dis-
cuss the significant history, covert apparatus, and
relationship of these organizations and groups to Com-
munist and Communist-influenced organizations out-
side the country. (Correlate with SECTION 53.) Note
the extent and manner in which subversive activities
are supported by economic, political, military, and other
action. Plans or potentialities for sabotage under war-
time conditions are considered, including infiltration of
civil defense organizations. The discussion throughout
indicates the extent to which Communism has suc-
ceeded in infiltrating the economic, social, political,
military, and cultural life of the country and has gained
control over key positions in government, the armed
forces, commerce, industry, transportation, and com-
munications. Whenever possible the reasons for failure
or success are explained. (When SECTION 57 applies to a
Communist-controlled country, the Subject Outline
may be adapted as seems appropriate.)
C. Other subversive activities
This Subsection includes a discussion of all non-
Communist groups that threaten to overturn the exist-
ing order by extralegal means, including any under-
Section 58.
For the purposes of this Section, propaganda covers
1) governmental action to influence individual and
collective attitudes and behavior at home and abroad,
and 2) similar action within the area by significant
unofficial agencies formed for the purpose of conducting
propaganda on an international scale and constituting
an important adjunct to official propaganda, e.g.,
Radio Free Europe. Detailed treatment of the propa-
ganda of private groups is normally reserved for the
Sections in CHAPTERS IV and V containing the primary
treatment of these groups: religious and educational
groups in SECTION 43, labor and management groups in
SECTION 44, political and pressure groups in SECTION 53,
subversive groups in SECTION 57. Mass communica-
tion media and the extent of their use are discussed in
detail in SECTION 43, under Public Information.
A. General
This Subsection brings into perspective the categories
of propaganda contained in the remainder of the Sec-
tion. It gives an overview of the relative importance
PAGE 10
ground, guerrilla, or resistance movements. It pro-
vides detailed information on the origin and history,
political doctrine, aims and tactics, character of mem-
bership, organization, leadership, financing, methods of
operation, propaganda policies and techniques, affilia-
tions with other national and international organiza-
tions, and clandestine activities of each group and
attempts to estimate its subversive potential. The re-
lationship of such movements to the Communists is
noted, including Communist cooperation, support, or
opposition. The Subsection also includes the sub-
versive activities of representatives of non-Communist
countries directed against the country, if the country
is not under Communist control, reserving for SECTION
58 primary treatment of their propaganda. Special
attention is given to any organized resistance to
military service, with statistics on evasion cases, if
available.
D. Comments on principal sources
This Subsection serves the following purposes:
To provide an evaluation of the principal source
material used in preparing the Section and thereby
inform the user of the general credibility to be accorded
the intelligence contained in the Section.
To indicate those aspects of the subject about which
information is deficient or unavailable and thereby pro-
vide general guidance for collection effort. In this con-
nection, only the principal sources actually used are
indicated.
Propaganda
of the following elements of the propaganda effort: the
process of conscious manipulation of any or all means
of communication, the ideas and doctrines disseminated
by means of such manipulation, the plans and projects
as well as agents established or used to further such
ideas or doctrines, and the proportion of the national
budget spent on propaganda activities. It indicates
briefly the extent to which government propaganda at
home and abroad is supported or undermined by the
propaganda of domestic political parties or other un-
official groups (reserve discussion of the specific propa-
ganda of each such group for the Section in which it
receives primary treatment). The prevalent attitude
of the people toward propaganda is noted, i.e., resistance
toward or awareness of propaganda as such, both domes-
tic and foreign. Indicate the part played by important
educational, religious, and social groups and traditions
in shaping this attitude. This Subsection also discusses
the extent and aims of the nation's propaganda effort
abroad in relation to its regional and international
political and economic status.

B. Domestic propaganda
Explain overall domestic propaganda activity with a
general analysis of the governmental organization, ob-
jectives, major themes, content, method, effectiveness,
trends, and target groups. Include some general ob-
servations concerning the degree of susceptibility of
the target groups as a whole. Discuss the organization
and functioning of the major domestic propaganda
agencies and efforts in terms of the following criteria:
1) Identification and description of activity; any
international connections; approximate size of effort?
giving number of offices and personnel; source of funds;
level of expenditures; leadership in terms of general
background, connections, and ability of the key per-
sonnel as a group (include names of individual leaders,
if helpful) ; real source of sponsorship or control if other
than government, with an indication as to whether
target groups are aware of such control; and method of
operation, whether overt, clandestine, or both. Civil
defense propaganda is included when appropriate.
(Coordinate with SECTIONS 52, 59, and/or Key Person-
alities unit.)
2) Long- and short-range objectives and principal
themes utilized to achieve them, in relation to specific
target groups. Indicate the significance of these
groups, why they were selected as targets, and the
priorities assigned. (For primary treatment of such
groups correlate with other appropriate Sections such
as SECTION 42.)
3) Content in relation to specific themes. De-
scribe, wherever possible, specific message content used
to put themes across, such as use of slogans, e.g., "Asia
for Asiatics," catchwords, e.g., "Iron Curtain," and
symbols, e.g., "capitalism," etc.
4) Communication methods used. Describe in
some detail, where possible, the methods and media
used by the agencies concerned, covering the extent,
kind, and effectiveness of use of: press and periodicals,
books and libraries, information centers, exhibits,
posters, radio and TV, motion pictures, and person-to-
person communication, e.g., planted rumors, whispering
campaigns, lectures, paid agitators, etc. (Correlate
with SECTION 43, under Public Information.)
5) Effectiveness. Where possible, analyze the
effectiveness of coverage and the degree of penetration
of specific target groups.
C. Propaganda directed abroad
Deal fully with the domestic organization and func-
tioning of the major governmental agencies involved in
directing propaganda abroad, including headquarters'
organization, source and extent of funds, facilities, con-
trol, leadership, objectives, and nature and extent of
foreign influence on operations. Discuss from the same
standpoint the activities within the area of unofficial
CONFIDENTIAL
CONFIDENTIAL
agencies, domestic or foreign, engaged in directing
significant propaganda abroad in support of the official
effort. A discussion and graphic presentation showing
the proportion of the national propaganda effort being
expended toward various countries or general geo-
graphic areas should be included. Target audiences,
organization and methods abroad, and effectiveness
will be dealt with in detail by the NIS on the recipient
country(ies) (see below, under Propaganda by Foreign
Countries) and will be treated here only to the extent
necessary to place in perspective the domestic opera-
tions involved in dissemination of propaganda abroad.
Full information should be given here, however, on
target audiences, organization and methods, and
quality, type, and volume of propaganda directed to
the United States.
D. Propaganda by foreign countries
Deal fully with the major efforts within the area of
both friendly and unfriendly governments, including
targets, audiences, organization, methods (such as
"friendship" campaigns, visits by official or unofficial
delegations, etc.) and facilities within the area for the
dissemination of their propaganda. Treat in the same
way the local activities of unofficial foreign agencies
which serve as an important adjunct to the propaganda
of foreign governments. Assess the effectiveness of
each major propaganda effort in achieving its objec-
tives, except that of the U.S. Government (however,
data on the factually measurable response to U.S. efforts,
such as numbers using USIS libraries, may be included).
In NIS areas not under Communist control, indicate
the extent to which domestic Communist organizations
serve as vehicles for the dissemination of Soviet or
Soviet-bloc propaganda (reserve the primary discussion
of domestic Communist propaganda for SECTION 53 or
57 and, where applicable, SUPPLEMENT VI). Organiza-
tion and functioning in the countries of origin of the
major foreign agencies and groups involved will be
treated here only to the extent necessary to explain
their operations within the recipient country, detailed
treatment being reserved for the NIS on the originating
countries (see above under Propaganda Directed
Abroad).

OUTLINE GUIDE
The following outline guide indicates substance and general arrange-
ment. In preparation and typing of manuscript, Standard Editorial
Instructions are followed in detail.
It is essential that analysts and editors be thoroughly
familiar with all of the following explanatory material,
even though they are concerned with only a portion of
the outline of the Chapter. Analysts should keep in
mind that the outline is meant to serve as a guide and
not as a hard and fast statute of requirements for every
Section. It is to be used flexibly, adapted to suit the
particular economic circumstances of each area, and
the analysis elicits those economic features and develop-
ments which are important to that area.
1) Purpose: The purpose of CHAPTER VI is to pro-
vide a concise but complete survey of the economic
structure, potential, and importance of the Area.
The various Sections of the Chapter provide, in the
aggregate, an integrated view of the economy, the
pattern and direction of its development and the capac-
ity of the economy to adjust itself to change.
2) Treatment: SECTION 60, which is designed to give
an overall evaluation of the economy, is to be treated
in the special mariner described under SECTION 60
below. The other Sections deal with basic materials,
energy resources, industries, trade and finance, and
such related subjects as are essential to an evaluation
of the economy of the Area and of the manner in which
it functions.
PAGE 2
Each Section includes all the factual data needed
to support the analysis. Such data are set forth, so
far as possible, in statistical tables, on charts and maps,
and in tabulations. Text is used for the purpose of
singling out the more significant aspects of the statis-
tical and graphic material and of assembling data that
do not readily lend themselves to tabular and graphic
presentation, or where scantiness of data makes tabular
treatment more bulky.
The general or "A" portions of each Section indicate
the significant aspects of the subject under discussion
and consider them as they would affect the nation's
strength as an enemy, neutral, or ally. Special em-
phasis is given to such problems as self-sufficiency,
capacity to expand production and supplies, and direc-
tion and rate of economic development.
It is especially important that full footnotes be
carried in file copies of the final draft, indicating source
of data plus any other notes necessary for full under-
standing of any qualifications of the data. This is
important for the implementation of the maintenance
program and for further research. For the copies to
be submitted to CIA only the principal references and
explanatory notes are carried.
3) Visual presentation: Maps, charts, graphs, and
photographs are provided wherever they will serve in
lieu of text, or to summarize or clarify textual and

such visual aids always appears in the text.
4) Use pattern: Major uses of items are shown quan-
titatively. This information is given for all consump-
tion including those items that are imported. In the
case of items that are used for one purpose which is
self-evident, the requirement for this information does
not of course apply.
5) Units of measure and value: See NIS Editorial
Instructions (E, 6, Statistical Data) for detailed rules.
CONFIDENTIAL
6) Years to be reported: Annual statistical data (by
calendar, crop, or fiscal years) are reported in accord-
ance with the practice in the Area. For the most
recent data, however, if not annual, reporting is in
the largest available fraction of a year. As a general
rule, figures for any significant span of years or an
average of such years will suffice for comparative pur-
poses. If data are taken from two or more sources,
care must be exercised to assure comparability; if data
are not comparable, appropriate footnotes explaining
the noncomparability will be included.
Section 60. Introduction
The purpose of this Section is twofold. Firstly, it
gives an integral view of the structure of the economy,
the pattern and direction of the development, and the
capacity of the economy to adjust itself to external or
internal political, economic, and social changes. Sec-
ondly, it serves as a frame of reference for proper
evaluation of the material, both factual and interpre-
tive, presented in the subsequent Sections of the
Chapter.
Detailed accounts of the component parts of the
economy are presented in the respective Sections of
this and other Chapters and Supplements. Here, the
significant aspects of each sector of the economy are
defined, and the part each sector plays in the total
economic scope and direction of the economic process
is assessed. The Section presents the overall produc-
tion or other figures needed to indicate the position
of any vital industries (such as steel), both in structure
of the economy of the Area and in relation to world
production.
A. Economic structure
This Subsection describes in broad terms the main
structural features of the economy. It examines the
position and importance of the various sectors of
economic activity (including distribution and transpor-
tation) both in terms of their contribution to national
income and in relation to the country's resources and
to their potential development. It also considers em-
ployment patterns as bearing upon the above require-
ments. It notes the relation of the various sectors of
the economy to national stability.
It discusses types and rate of domestic capital
accumulation, recent pattern of utilization, and factors
stimulating or limiting capital formation such as pri-
vate or government investment policies, domestic and
foreign markets, foreign investments, etc. The discus-
sion, moreover, analyzes the nature of the economic
CONFIDENTIAL
development in terms of changes in the composition
of the gross product.
B. Economic dynamics
This Subsection is devoted to a definition and
analysis of the forces, including socioeconomic trends
and attitudes, which at present determine the orienta-
tion of the economy. The discussion examines the
technological advance of economic processes along with
other factors making for development of the various
sectors of the economy, as well as obstacles to develop-
ment, and factors making or recession or disintegra-
tion. It notes the effect, if any, of U.S. and other
foreign activities in the country which have significance
to the economy. It evaluates the competitive strength
of the economy in terms of productivity of labor,
degree of mechanization, etc., and appraises the
ability of the economy to make appropriate adjust-
ments to change, including changing patterns of world
trade. It also examines the role of the state in con-
trolling and influencing economic organization, activity,
and development and evaluates the significance of
entrepreneurial activities of the state.
C. Economic planning
This Subsection describes briefly the orientation of
current national policy and indicates the areas of
economic activity to which it applies, the scope and
orientation of long-range economic planning, and
examines critically the degree of disparity between
plans and economic capabilities of the area. It notes
important factors influencing economic planning and
development such as the ability and attitudes of the
economic elite, its political power and international
ties. It indicates how the government proposes to
finance the realization of its long-range economic plans,
and examines the extent to which such plans are being
realized. It discusses the nature and amount of
assistance, if any, from abroad in furthering plans.

D. Strategic aspects of the economy
In this Subsection discussion covers the problem of
the strategic supply position and economic war po-
tential, including the extent to which the country is
or can readily become self-sufficient in its major re-
quirements and what conditions must be fulfilled in
order to increase the degree of self-sufficiency of the
area. The problems of self-sufficiency and economic
capacity for war are considered not only with respect
to available natural resources but also in relation to
existing manpower and its technical capabilities, and
in relation to available installations affecting produc-
tion. With respect to manpower, consideration is given
to conclusions reached in CHAPTER IV on problems of
mobility, existing skills, adaptability of labor to new
productive processes, and feasibility of increasing the
labor force through mobilization of overage and under-
A. General
age laborers and women. With respect to the existing
productive plant, attention is given to the degree of
utilization of existing facilities. The analysis indi-
cates the causes of significant deficiencies or surpluses.
It also indicates the degree to which the economy is
vulnerable to military attack, in terms of dependence
on a particular sector of the economy or a particular
group of installations. In this connection it considers
conclusions reached in CHAPTER III with respect to
the transportation system and the manner in which it
affects the economic war potential of the area. Special
attention is given to the economy's vulnerability to
manipulation by foreign interests either through infil-
tration of the economy or external economic measures.
The Subsection notes the extent to which the nation is
able to or does carry on similar activity abroad (with
cross-reference to SECTIONS 57 and 58 if appropriate).
Section 61. Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry
This Subsection gives a concise appraisal of the
agricultural sector of the economy. It defines the
position of agriculture, including primary processing,
in terms of its contribution to national income, as a
field of capital investment and source of employment.
It discusses briefly recent developments or major
trends in land ownership and land use with particular
reference to production patterns and techniques.
The degree of the country's self-sufficiency in food,
feed, and industrial crops is indicated, and the coun-
try's position as a market for and an international sup-
plier of agricultural commodities, including processed
products, is discussed briefly.
The Subsection summarizes current governmental
policies with respect to ownership and utilization of
land, agricultural production, and prices, as well as in
relation to international controls and agreements that
bear upon production, international prices, and allo-
cation of markets.
It indicates the relative importance of the fishing
industry in the national economy, and briefly describes
the organization of the industry and the manner in
which it is protected and regulated by the government.
It discusses in broad terms the position of the forest
industry in the national economy, with an indication
of the extent and distribution of forest resources.
Recent developments in the exploitation of resources
and government policies relating to the conservation
and national utilization of forest resources and to
primary processing activity are summarized, and the
PAGE 4
country's dependence upon foreign markets and sources
of supply is discussed.
B. Agriculture
1. GENERAL ASPECTS
This subtopic briefly indicates the general extent
and nature of agriculture including the relative im-
portance of the different types of farming such as self-
sufficiency, commercial, state or collective, cooperative,
quasi-feudal, and paternalistic. It mentions any social
and cultural attitudes which have a direct and signifi-
cant effect on agricultural production and practices or
on consumption. It also notes the extent of regional
and crop specialization versus mixed farming.
2. PHYSICAL FEATURES
This subtopic indicates the suitability of the country
for agriculture in terms of terrain, soil fertility, and
climate (temperature and precipitation). (Correlation
with SECTIONS 23 and 24, where weather, climate, and
topography are treated from the standpoint of military
operations.) The principal agricultural regions are
described.
3. LAND USE
The discussion covers the approximate amount and
percentage of the land area that is in agricultural use;
the relation of physical features to the pattern and
possibilities of land use; the uses of arable land (crop,
orchard, and rotation pasture and meadow land) and
its distribution among the major agricultural pursuits.

4. SIZE OF FARM HOLDINGS, TENURE, AND
LABOR
This subtopic gives an overall statement in regard to
land ownership and size of operating units and farm
properties. It discusses prevailing systems of tenure
and the distribution of the farm labor force between
owner-operators, tenants, and hired labor. It indi-
cates types of labor contracts and the extent of unem-
ployment or underemployment of farm labor.
5. PRODUCTION PRACTICES, EQUIPMENT,
AND SUPPLIES
The discussion here covers production practices and
techniques with reference to intensity of farming,
multiple cropping and? intercropping, crop rotation,
control of plant diseases and parasites, use of seed,
farm machinery and equipment, draft animals, and
fertilizers. It indicates the nature and need for clear-
ing, irrigation, draining, and terracing. Quantitative
data on principal types of farm machinery used are
included. Use and feasibility of tractors and combines
and other power equipment are indicated. As data
permit, the degree of self-sufficiency and foreign trade
in regard to farm machinery, chemical fertilizers, seed,
insecticides, and fungicides is discussed. Cross-reference
is made to SECTION 64, Subsections B (Industrial
Machinery), C (Motor Vehicles), and J (Chemical
Fertilizers) if. these Subsections contain additional
information on sources of agricultural supplies.
6. ,PRODUCTION AND TRADE
This subtopic summarizes briefly total crop and live-
stock production and supply, indicating the relative
importance of products or product groups to the
economy and dependence on external trade for supply.
It accompanies this summary with a production and
net trade summary for a representative period or year,
showing amount available for domestic consumption.
a. MAJOR CROPS ? The following is discussed for
each of the major food, feed, and industrial crops: com-
parative importance in the agricultural economy, area
under cultivation and geographical location, total out-
put, yields, imports and/or exports, domestic consump-
tion, planting and harvesting dates, diseases, and
insect pests. Broad indication is given of the manner
in which crops move within the country from land or
storage facilities to processing centers and consump-
tion areas, or to export ports. Rice milling on farms
and other on-farm processing for household use are
discussed in detail here, cross-reference being made to
SECTION 64, Subsection K, for all other agricultural
processing industries, including commercial wheat and
rice milling. Farm and commercial storage and drying
facilities are discussed.
As much of the data as possible are presented in
tabular form or on maps.

F. Explosives? (industrial and military)
This Subsection discusses industrial and military ex-
plosives, including rocket propellantS, conforming as
appropriate to the specifications for Subsection 64, C.
The manufacture of explosives is treated as separate
from the chemical industry only if it is actually so
organized, and in general is considered as beginning at
the point where ordinarily available commercial chem-
icals begin to be differentiated into explosives or
intermediates.
Industrial and military explosives normally are
treated separately, following, as appropriate, for the
country, an introductory summary of .the development,
characteristics, and economic or strategic significance
of related industry. The discussion of industrial ex-
plosives is largely .in terms of normal supply and
demand. In the more comprehensive discussion of
military explosives the emphasis is on the adequacy of
the country's supply of its peacetime armed. forces
requirements, and on the capabilities of the: entire
chemical industry for meeting the country's own mili-
tary explosives requirements and probable obligations
to others in time of war. The sources of explosives
constituents as received by the explosives plants, and
vulnerability of supply, including reliance on foreign
sources for constituents or more primary raw materials,
are discussed. Chemically related explosives are dis-
cussed as a group as far as is consistent with the overall
objective of providing detailed information on the
wartime supply position of as many finished military
explosives as possible.
Principal producers are listed in a table generally
similar to that for Subsection 64, C, with inclusion
under Remarks of information on the sources of each
plant's principal materials and the destination to which
its explosives are shipped for loading or storage. When
the information will result in little or no duplication,
the table is separated into producers of industrial and
military explosives.
G. Arms: and ammunition (including ex-
? plosive devices), fire-control equipment, and
bomb sights
?
This Subsection conforms as appropriate to the
specifications for Subsection 64, C. Manufacture of
the specialized items listed below is treated as a sepa-
rate industry only if it is so organized in a normal
commercial sense.
The emphasis is on the country's supply of its peace-
time armed forces requirements, and on the capabilities
of the country's entire industry for meeting the nation's
own munitions requirements and probable obligations
to others in time of war. The sources of principal com-
ponents, and vulnerability of supply, including reliance
on foreign sources for components or more primary raw
materials, are factors considered in the objective of
providing detailed information on the wartime supply
position of munitions.

Section 70. Introduction
A. Evaluation and development of the scien-
tific effort
1. PRESENT STATUS AND RECENT TRENDS
This Subsection is essentially a selective and evalua-
tive summary of SECTION 70 and, in a general sense, of
CHAPTER VII; subjects discussed in detail later are
treated very briefly here. The distinguishing features
of the country's current scientific and technical activi-
ties in terms of goals, scope, peculiar advantages
or disadvantages, general level of attainment, and
recent (not future) trends are pointed out. These
features are appraised in terms of the country's needs,
worldwide progress, and corresponding activities of
comparable countries. Capabilities are indicated as
static, rising, or falling. Any expansion plans are
briefly outlined. The country's capabilities and trends
in the major fields of scientific and technical research
and development are discussed. Fields of endeavor
which are emphasized and those neglected are identified.
The relative stress upon military versus civilian re-
search and upon fundamental (pure) versus applied
research, and any recent changes in emphasis, are
discussed. Scientific and technical capabilities are
PAGE 2
related to the country's military and economic potential.
The attitudes of the government, industry, the general
public, and major political and cultural groups toward
science, are discussed, if significant.
2. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The development of the country's scientific and
technical activities, especially 20th century develop-
ments, are briefly outlined. Beginnings and growth of
activity in the physical sciences and crafts, and a few
outstanding persons, organizations, and events which
shaped or altered scientific and technical development
are described in general terms; no detailed scientific
chronology or history of academic scholarship is pro-
vided. Social, political, economic, geographic, and
other factors are discussed only if they had a decisive
effect upon scientific and technical development,

control and planning and the freedom of individuals
and organizations in choosing and financing research
projects is described. The main organizations (govern-
ment or other) which plan, control, supervise, guides
coordinate, and/or finance the country's research and
development are identified (by both English and native
names) and their operations described. The relative
importance of these bodies, their subordination, and
the relationships between them are explained and
illustrated with a chart or charts. Explanation is
made of how the national research and development
program is planned and how research projects originate
and are supervised and sustained.
2. GOVERNMENT RESEARCH ORGANIZA-
TIONS (EXCEPT EDUCATIONAL)
The research organizations of the ministries and other
major organizations concerned with various segments
of government research and development are named
and their importance and responsibilities briefly
indicated. The armed forces are included but educa-
tional institutions are not. The subordination of and
relationships between the various research organiza-
tions are explained. However, the personnel, facilities,
or research programs of individual research laboratories
and institutes are not discussed here; other Sections in
CHAPTER VII furnish such information.
3. RESEARCH AT EDUCATIONAL INSTI-
TUTIONS
The type of research and development information
provided above for government bodies is here covered
for government and private educational institutions of
major scientific or technical importance. Education is
not discussed because it is treated below under Scientific
and Technical Manpower.
4. PRIVATE AND SEMIPRIVATE RESEARCH
ORGANIZATIONS
The type of information provided above for govern-
ment bodies is here covered for the most important
research organizations maintained by industry, con-
tract research companies, cooperative associations,
nonprofit foundations, joint government-private enter-
prises, and private individuals. The relationships of
these organizations with one another, the government,
and educational institutions are covered, and foreign
affiliations, if any, are indicated.
5. EXCHANGE OF SCIENTIFIC AND TECH-
NICAL INFORMATION
The ease of and restrictions upon exchanging scien-
tific and technical information within the country and
with other nations, the availability of native and
foreign literature, the adequacy of library and technical
publication facilities, and international relations and
foreign travel are discussed insofar as they concern

science and engineering. The principal general science
societies and academies not previously mentioned are
described and the roles of these and other professional
societies are explained. In general, the discussion does
not cover societies concerned only with specific fields of
science; these societies are covered in other Sections of
CHAPTER VII..
C. Financing of scientific and technical ac-
tivities
Adequacy and methods of financing are summarized.
Funds available for scientific and technical education,
research, and development from governmental, private,
and foreign sources are discussed in detail. Distribu-
tion of funds among various organizations and fields of
specialization is indicated. Whenever possible, com-
parable statistics for more than one year are presented
to show trends as well as size of effort; if such data are
not obtainable, other indications of the amount of
money available are shown.
D. Scientific and technical manpower
1. EDUCATION, TRAINING, AND QUALITY
The qualitative strengths and weaknesses of scientific
and technical manpower are discussed. The following
are described and evaluated: scientific and technical
education and training, especially at the postgraduate
and specialist level; curricula and degrees, the adequacy
of instructors and teaching facilities, recruitment and
selection of students; entrance requirements for higher
educational institutions and advanced vocational
schools; and scholarships and financial assistance to
students. (Education and manpower in general are
not discussed here; they are covered in CHAPTER IV
which may be referenced.)
2. TOTAL NUMBERS, DISTRIBUTION, AND
UTILIZATION
The discussion covers the total size and adequacy of
scientific and technical manpower resources, their rate
of growth (including graduations from higher educa-
tional institutions), distribution among the various
fields of science and technology, any major shortages
or surpluses, and the efficiency of manpower utilization.
3. SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC POSITION OF
SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS
The relative attractiveness of careers in science and
technology as compared with those in other professions
is discussed in terms of salaries and other remunera-
tions (e.g., fellowships), public and professional recogni-
tion (including prizes and awards for outstanding
achievement), degree of independence, ideological
influences, undesirable responsibilities, etc.

affairs. Indicate the prestige, or lack thereof, of the
armed forces and their components and the existence
of any militarist or warlike section of the population.
Mention past and present foreign influences, if perti-
nent.
PAGE 4
3. POLITICAL INFLUENCE
Disciiss the political. forces or groups within the
country which effectively control the armed forces.
Indicate whether the country is ruled by a military
dictator or _a dictatorial minority or whether constitu-
tional guarantees prevent the misuse of military power.
Discuss any influence of the military on political
affairs. Indicate any factionalism, favoritism, or polit-
ical intrigue within the military. Indicate the loyalty

tary service. If pertinent, show the depletion of fit
manpower by war casualties. Give the size of the
annual class reaching military age and the average
number of men actually inducted annually.
2. QUALITY OF MANPOWER
Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the man-
power from the military point of view, including such
factors as physique, intelligence, education, amena-
bility to hardship, aptitude for the use and care of
modern equipment, response to discipline, attitude
toward military service, and general morale and loyalty
factors. If pertinent, indicate the composition of the
military manpower by race, religion, or other cate-
gories and the varying suitability of different elements

charts are selected for that topic or 2) the subject
heading does not pertain to the NIS Area. In the
event that further modification of the outline or change
in presentation of Chapter content is considered advis-
able for a particular NIS Area, the proposed modifi-
cation will not be made without prior approval of the
CHAPTER IX Coordinator.
The distinction between the five Sections of CHAPTER
IX, as indicated in the outline, is in the subject cover-
age of the maps and charts discussed. The presenta-
tion of information in each Section follows a uniform
pattern.
PREFACE?The preface to each Section is a short
"Guide to Users" which includes:
An explanation of the composition of the Section.
Criteria governing the selection of the maps and charts.
A general statement concerning the availability of the
selected maps and charts, including a list of abbreviations
used in the Section for the various map and chart reposi-
tories.
A glossary of terms having special significance or meaning
as used in CILAPTER IX and appearing in the Section.
The research cutoff date for each major topic.
Other information needed for an understanding of the
specific Section under consideration.
GENERAL SUBSECTION?E?LCh Section has a "Gen-
eral" Subsection that contains 1) a brief discussion of
the current mapping and charting situation for the
types of maps and charts included in the Section and
2) identification of the principal agencies responsible
for and producing these types of maps and charts of
the NIS Area.
TOPICAL SUBSECTIONS?Each Section includes topical
Subsections, with the following subheadings: selected
maps and charts; deficiencies; and programs.
Selected maps and charts?Includc recommendations
of the best maps and charts under each subject beading
given in the outline. Limit the selection of maps or
charts for a specific topic to those originally designed
to depict that topic unless other available coverage
furnishes better information for the subject under con-
sideration. Justify all recommendations on the basis
of accuracy, currency, adequacy of detail and pres-
entation, utility, and availability. If particularly
significant in the evaluation of the maps and charts,
PAGE 2

include brief statements. concerning the quality and
adequacy of the geodetic control and survey data on
which the maps and charts are based. When appro-
priate, include comparisons of items based on adequacy
of subject and areal coverage. Obsolete or other un-
selected maps may be mentioned under any topic if
the contributing agency considers it necessary to warn
users against specific widely used or apparently un-
authoritative maps.
Follow the recommendations with individual item
appraisals, each of which includes a citation, coverage
statement, characteristics, and evaluation. The cita-
tion contains the title of the map or chart; scale; author-
ity; date; language; grid, projection, and graticule in-
formation; availability; and security classification and
control. The remainder of the item writeup is in
telegraphic style and consists of three parts under the
following headings: Coverage, giving areal coverage
and- the identification of sheets (if applicable); Char-
acteristics, including the physical characteristics of the
map or chart, data shown, source material, and method
of preparation (if pertinent); and Evaluation, in terms
of accuracy, currency, and value for specific purposes.
Deficiencies?Discuss under each major subject head-
ing the deficiencies and limitations in the mapping or
charting for that subject. Note weaknesses in avail-
able materials as well as the lack of areal and subject
coverage for all or parts of the NIS Area.
Programs?Describe briefly under each major sub-
ject beading the significant mapping and charting
programs underway.
LIST OF FOREIGN-LANGUAGE AUTH0RITIES-11161de

4. PORT PLANS
JANUARY 1962
Make statement such as the following: The port plan
provides a graphic representation of the port, showing
the relationship of its component parts and the loca-
tions of the principal port facilities. Although the
port plan carries depth patterns, it is in no sense a
navigational instrument and should not be used as a
chart. The port plans in this Supplement have been
based on the best charts and plans available and have
been amended from the most recent photography and
reports. Dimensions and scales represent close ap-
proximations.
5. CROSS-REFERENCES
Point out topics which receive additional treatment
in other Sections of the NIS. Provide appropriate
cross-references for each subject.
6. GLOSSARY
List with English equivalents of foreign generic
terms used in Supplement.
D. Comments on principal sources
This Subsection serves the following purposes:
1) To provide an evaluation of the principal source
material used in preparing the Supplement and thereby
inform the user of the general credibility to be accorded
the intelligence contained in the Supplement.
2) To indicate those aspects of the subject about
which information is deficient or unavailable and
thereby provide general guidance for collection effort.
In this connection, only the principal sources actually
used are indicated.

bined utility map) where sufficient data are a vailable.
Iii. WATER SUPPLY
Information discussed in this paragraph pertains in
general to developed munieipal systems. However, it
is also important to discuss all available sources such
as wells, springs, rivers, etc., especially where a de-
veloped system is lacking or inadequate to serve the
total needs of the area. (Important facilities are
located on urban. area map, or, if at a distance, upon
the environs map, including reservoirs, aqueducts,
main purification or other treatment plants, etc.)
Where sufficient information is available, this para-
graph may be subdivided as follows (appropriate cross
references to Subsection 12, e, following, regarding
water supply for firefighting are also included):

combining electric power production with central heat-
ing as a byproduct in many countries indicates that
these utilities be considered together. Statements as
to capacities, condition, sources of power, etc., are
supplemented by tabulated data pertinent to the par-
ticular urban area. Where available, high tension
power lines are indicated by an appropriate symbol

OUTLINE GUIDE
The following outline guide indicates substance and general arrange-
ment. In preparation and typing of manuscript, Standard Edi-
torial Instructions are followed in detail.
This Outline Guide has been designed for a country
outside the Communist bloc where 1) there is a func-
tioning Communist Party, and 2) there is an elected
legislature with Communist Party representation either
direct or indirect (through a captive party organiza-
tion) .
Considerable deviation from and modification of this
outline structure will be necessary where the country
concerned, 1) has no effective national Communist
Party and the Soviet or satellite diplomatic representa-
tives direct Communist activities, or 2) has no popu-
larly-elected legislative bodies, or 3) offers little or no
opportunity for Communist or Communist-controlled
political parties to operate within a parliamentary
framework. Such modification should be made in
agreement with CIA/OBI in the early stages of pro-
duction.
Section 1. General
This Section provides an appropriate approach to
the material presented in the remainder of the Supple-
ment. This Section summarizes only the outstanding
impacts of communism within the country. The
details are reserved for discussion in subsequent Sec-
tions.
It discusses the role of the Communist Party in terms
of the country's place in Soviet strategy in various
periods and in terms of indigenous historical, social,
political, and economic forces, trends, institutions, and
attitudes that facilitate or obstruct Communist opera-
tions. It defines long- and short-range Communist ob-
jectives in the area and summarizes the strategy and
tactics employed for the achievement of these objec-
tives, analyzing the principal propaganda themes and
tactics employed. The Section includes an examina-
PAGE 2
tion of the evidence bearing on the Party's vulnerabili-
ties and evidence of its ability to achieve its Tong- and
short-range aims in the area?differentiating between
its capacity for exploiting legitimate political channels
and its capacity for subversive activity?in terms of:
human, physical, and organizational resources; solidar-
ity; flexibility; ability to identify and exploit important
grievances and muster indigenous support on specific
issues and for its general program; and the degree and
nature of present and potential support from Com-
munist bloc countries and international Communist
organizations. In the analysis of the Party's vulnera-
bilities, consideration is given to the Party's own views
of its principal weaknesses, and the nature of its efforts
to correct them.

Section 2. Historical Setting
This Section provides an historical treatment of the
origins and development of the Communist Party but
only to the extent necessary for analyzing the strength
and cohesion of the Party, its ability to resist suppres-
sion and capitalize on favorable circumstances, its
doctrinal and operational flexibility, its principal in-
digenous sources of strength and weakness, and the
degree to which it has been dependent upon Soviet or
other forms of foreign or international support. It
describes the circumstances under which the Party was
founded, including an account of: its antecedents; the
persons and groups, domestic and foreign, principally
A. Structure

responsible for its organizations; and the effects of its
establishment on other left-wing groups. The princi-
pal events in the history of the Party and its principal
shifts in strategy are analyzed in terms of international
and domestic setting in which they occurred, the intra-
Party controversies evoked, trends revealed, difficulties
encountered, and successes achieved. Particular stress
is laid on the speed and degree of willingness with which
the Party has responded to changes in policy laid down
by the U.S.S.R. or Communist China or in the inter-
national line and the degree to which it has been able
to adapt the international line to its local requirements.
Section 3. Party Organization
(Or, as applicable, The Directing Agency within the Country)
This Subsection presents a schematic treatment of
Party structure at all levels, describing channels of
authority, principal area and functional divisions, in-
cluding those dealing with propaganda and front group
activities, important changes that have occurred during
the Party's recent history, and significant departures
from normal Communist patterns. In this and the
following Subsections for countries where more than
one Communist Party exists because of factional differ-
ences (e.g., Egypt, Burma), or because an important
national minority has its own Party (e.g., Thailand),
the information called for is provided separately for
each party.
B. Leadership
This Subsection discusses Party leadership in general
in terms of its national and social origins, cohesion, ex-
perience, flexibility, types of leaders who have had
greatest success within the Party, and acceptability to
the general public.
C. Membership
1. COMPOSITION
This Subsection describes methods of recruiting and
selecting members, past and present: estimate the size
of Party membership, differentiating where possible
between overt and covert membership and between
fringe and hard-core elements; indicate national dis-
CONFIDENTIAL
tribution; and discuss principal periods of membership
growth or decline. Characteristics of the Party mem-
bership are discussed in terms of national or racial and
social origin, age, sex, occupational distribution, level
of education and party training, cohesion, militancy,
and loyalty. Graphic illustration may be employed
for this purpose.
2. DISCIPLINE AND TRAINING
This Subsection describes and evaluates Party tech-
niques for disciplining and training members, covering
important special campaigns as well as routine meas-
ures. Training of local Party members in foreign
schools and use of foreign instructors and materials in
local schools are also described where appropriate. All
known Party schools are listed, with data as to location,
size, facilities, principal personnel, curriculum, and
special purposes.
D. Finances
This Subsection discusses Party finances in terms of
sources of funds (including dues, local and foreign con-
tributions, and legal and illegal Party enterprises) and
nature and extent of principal expenditure. Banking
and disbursing arrangements of the Party are described,
as well as any known types of financial investment.
E. Propaganda media

and the major political forces and drives of the country
concerned to serve Communist ends. It provides a
general estimate of the role of the local Communist
Party in national politics, leaving details as to Party
strategy, relations with other parties, etc., to be cov-
ered in the Subsections below. It describes the role
and evaluates the effectiveness of Soviet bloc diplo-

concept of its role as a political party in the conven-
tional sense including: the weight that the Party has
given to parliamentary activity within its total strategy;
the concepts that have governed the Party's relations
with other political parties; the disputes that have
arisen within the Party over the importance to be
assigned to and the strategy to be employed in parlia-
mentary activities; and an evaluation of the effective-
ness of the Party's strategy. In countries where the
Communist Party is illegal but functions in the parlia-
mentary sphere through a front or captive party, the
special strategic problems involved are discussed.
C. Relations with non-Communist parties
This Subsection describes the tactics employed by
the Communists in relation to other political parties;
indicate the extent to which they have been able to
PAGE 4
penetrate, capture, influence, or make formal or in-
formal alliances with other parties, identifying those

Section 6. Penetration of Labor and Agrarian Movements
A. Strategy of penetration
This Subsection traces the development of Com-
munist influence 1) in the industrial labor movement
and 2) among the rural working class, in terms of the
adjustments in Marxist-Leninist doctrine employed to
suit the prevailing economic, social, and political pat-
tern in the area. The extent to which traditional prac-
tices or prevailing conditions have favored or obstructed
the propagation of Communist ideology among these
elements of the population is indicated.
B. Penetration of industrial labor
This Subsection describes and evaluates the methods
used to attract members and establish mass support
for the Communist Party, or for its general objectives,
CONFIDENTIAL
among industrial workers. It discusses the tactics
employed to infiltrate and control trade unions and
other associations or institutions?exclusive of political
parties?representing the interests of labor (factory
councils, mutual benefit societies, and the like), and
evaluates the extent of the Communist propaganda
effort directed specifically at organized labor, indicating
the types of resources employed (e.g., factory news-
papers), and emphasizing the tactics employed to
weaken or destroy anti-Communist influence among
industrial workers. The role of propaganda directed

which Communist-inspired labor disturbances have
occurred are described in terms of background, osten-
sible causes, Communist motives, methods employed,
and effects. The Subsection indicates the extent of
Communist penetration of labor organizations, listing
trade unions and auxiliary bodies known to be Com-
munist-dominated and indicating their relative im-
portance, not only within organized labor but the labor
force generally; wherever feasible, data on membership,
leadership, and sources of support will be presented in
tabular form. Communist organizational channels in-
cluding those of international organizations such as
WFTU and key personnel concerned with the infiltra-
tion or propagandizing of labor elements will be
identified.
C. Mobilization of agrarian elements
This Subsection describes the mechanics of Com-
munist penetration and indoctrination of rural workers
in the area. It discusses the tactics employed to infil-
trate and control associations or institutions, other than
political parties, representing the interests of rural
workers, identifying the prevalent forms of Communist
organizational pressure (including information re-
sources) and the dominant propaganda themes and
appeals employed to mobilize mass support. An
evaluation is made of the role of anti-U.S. and anti-
Western propaganda in these operations. The tech-
niques used to recruit and train Communist cadres
among the rural population are discussed and rural
labor unions and their auxiliaries known to be Com-
munist-dominated are listed; wherever feasible, data
on membership, leadership, and sources of support are

Section 7. Infiltration and Exploitation of Miscellaneous Groups
A. Target groups
This Subsection describes and evaluates the extent
of Communist infiltration of miscellaneous target
groups among the population?e.g., youth; teachers
and educators; intellectuals; journalists and others
engaged in the mass media field; war veterans (coordi-
nate with SECTION 5, Subsection D, under military
reserves) ; scientists; members of other professions; inde-
pendent artisans and entrepreneurs; racial and religious
minorities. The degree of direct and indirect Com-
munist influence within each of the target groups dis-
cussed is indicated together with the factors which
have made them susceptible to Communist infiltration
and indoctrination. Where feasible, these factors are
covered in a single discussion. The role of anti-U.S.
and anti-Western sentiment is evaluated as a factor of
susceptibility. Communist organizational channels and
key personnel concerned are identified and the principal
objectives of infiltration involved in the case of each
group are analyzed.
PAGE 6

by the Communist Party in the area to infiltrate, organ-
ize, and manipulate target elements. The effectiveness
of these methods is evaluated in terms of the social,
political, and psychological climate of the area; any
significant adaptations of Communist dogma or stand-
ard propaganda themes to local conditions are de-
scribed; and the relative importance of anti-U.S. and
anti-Western propaganda in the context of these opera-

ceptibility to Communist manipulation will be analyzed,
including the role of anti-U.S. and anti-Western senti-
ment; where feasible, these are covered in a single dis-
cussion. Tho degree of Communist success in con-
cealing the mechanics of front group operations from
the public is evaluated. In addition all organizations
known to be Communist-dominated are listed in tabular
form, describing designated purpose, leadership, mem-
bership, information and publicity resources, sources
of financial support, international front affiliations, and
Communist organizational channels concerned. Front
organizations established and staffed by the Com-
munist Party apparatus in the area are listed sepa-
rately, in tabular form, describing the assigned mission
and information resources in each case and identifying

Section 8. Espionage, Sabotage, and Related Activities
A. Nature and importance
This Subsection confines itself to a general discussion
of the extent and scope of Communist espionage,
sabotage, incitation to violence, and paramilitary and
insurrectionary activities, and spotting, recruiting, in-
vestigating, or other functions in support of such
activities. The Party's potential for carrying on these
activities is assessed in terms of the degree to which it
has been able to penetrate the armed forces, the ma-
chinery of government, essential industries, the means
of transportation and communication, etc.; this assess-
ment draws upon, but does not repeat in detail, ma-
terial presented in SECTIONS 4, 5, 6, and 7. The
Party's ability to utilize the groups under its influence
or control to create major threats to public order is
similarly assessed on the basis of material presented in
preceding Sections. Indicate the extent to which the
above-mentioned types of Communist activities are
directed at the armed forces and/or civilian officials
representing the United States or its allies in the area.
B. Techniques
This Subsection describes the techniques employed
by the Communists in connection with the activities
listed above, including the Communist organizational
channels concerned; methods of recruiting, training,
CONFIDENTIAL
and utilizing agents?Communist and non-Communist;
utilization of foreign Communist agents; connections
with foreign networks.
C. Operations
This Subsection describes in detail Communist oper-
ations in the fields of espionage, sabotage, incitation to
violence, and paramilitary and insurrectionary activi-
ties, evaluating the effectiveness of each type of ac-
tivity. In discussing each type of operation, identify
the leaders and describe the organization, methods,
relationship to the Communist Party structure, and
sources of support, supplementing as needed the
information presented in Subsection B.

Section 9. Personalities
Common characteristics of the personalities selected
for treatment are briefly pointed out, particularly with
reference to political affiliation, origin, education and
training, experience, religion, and economic and social
status. The nature and social status of the groups or
institutions through which these 'personalities rose to
positions of influence in the Communist Party or other
organization treated in this Supplement are considered
to the minimum extent required for understanding the
influence of the individuals covered. It is anticipated
that only in rare cases will a biography appear in this
Supplement as well as in Key Personalities or SECTION 7
of the studies on International Communism. How-
ever, if a member of the Communist movement is of
sufficient significance on the national scene to be cov-
ered in Key Personalities his biography, for ease of
reference, also appears in SUPPLEMENT VI. Further-
more, if a member of the Communist movement is also
a key figure in an international organization, his biog-
raphy appears in the appropriate international organi-
zation study as well as in SUPPLEMENT VI.
B. Biographies in alphabetical order
Biographies are concise presentations of career data,
attitudes, and personality traits of leaders or otherwise
influential individuals. Repetition of identical back-
ground information in several biographies is avoided by
cross referencing. Sketches open with a brief state-
ment of the subject's position in his field, and then cover
the following points (not necessarily in the order given) :
1) evaluation of subject's official or professional status
and his influence and capabilities; 2) important steps
PAUL 8

in occupational history or career, travels abroad, and
attendance at international conferences, with dates;
3) important family, professional, or social connections;
4) attitudes toward other countries, especially the
United States and the TJ.S.S.R., and toward inter-
national organizations and important national and
international problems, including communism and
Western principles of democracy; 5) actual or potential
threats to career.
Biographic information also briefly refers to the fol-
lowing: 1) place and date of birth; 2) family background,
national origin, and present family; 3) group affiliation
(class, ethnic, or other); 4) education; 5) religious back-
ground and extent of participation in religious activity;
6) general statement of any reading and listening habits
or personal interests that [night have a bearing on
accessibility; 7) physical or mental characteristics; and
8) publications, languages, honors, or other accomplish-
ments. Subject's character and personality are de-
scribed, as revealed by significant attitudes, behavior,
social activities and bearing toward equals and others.

Key Personalities
OUTLINE GUIDE
The following outline guide indicates substance and general ar-
rangement. Key Personalities is not divided into Sections and
uses no number or letter designations for the headings; otherwise,
manuscripts are prepared and typed as shown in the NIS Editorial
Instructions.
Key Personalities is designed to provide background
information on the most influential people in the given
NIS Area and some understanding of the personality
of each that can aid in making an effective approach
to him or in anticipating his reactions in a. given situa-
tion. Each Key Personalities publication is intended
to be used as a companion volume to various other
elements of the NIS, but it may serve also as an inde-
pendent reference work. Biographies are grouped
alphabetically and cover leaders in the following fields:
political, cultural, economic, armed forces, scientific
and technical. The biographies are preceded by a
CONFIDENTIAL
Preface, Introduction, and a brief Institutional Direc-
tory, accompanied by certain graphic aids, as appro-
priate, and followed by an alphabetical Index of Names
(optional).
Key Personalities publications are issued in two forms:
1) publications on selected major countries, looseleaf
format maintained annually; and 2) publications on
other countries, bound volumes normally containing
25-50 biographies and reissued every three or four
years. In this manner both forms are kept reasonably
up to date.
Preface
The preface indicates the basis for selecting as key
personalities those on whom biographies appear, ex-
plains the organization of the volume and the reference
aids (such as the directory and the index), and com-
ments in general terms on the reliability of data and
important gaps in information and the reasons for
such deficiencies. Cross references to pertinent pub-
CONFIDENTIAL
lished NIS elements which would provide the reader
with useful background information are cited. A
glossary of terms used in the publication and any
other information helpful to an understanding of the
Key Personalities volume, such as transliteration
system, may also be included.

Introduction
Any common characteristics of the personalities so-
ted for treatment are briefly reviewed, particularly
_th reference to origin, political affiliation, educa-
Dn and training, age, experience, religion, and eco-
3mic and social status. The nature and social status
the groups or institutions through which these per-
inalities rose to positions of influence are generalized
and relationships to any traditional leadership groups
in the NIS Area are noted, limiting such treatment to
the minimum required for understanding the influence
of the individuals covered. Tithe nation has produced
few or no leaders in any particular field, the reasons
for this are indicated.
Institutional Directory
The directory is designed to assist the reader in
Dcating persons by position rather than name and in
ientifying leaders in any given field. It presents
lphabetically the important activities of the country
.y position and gives the names of selected leading
personalities connected with these. It may include
the names of persons on whom no biographic reports
are presented but who are nonetheless significant at the
national level in their own fields of endeavor.
Biographies
Biographies are concise presentations of career data,
ittitudes, and personality traits of leaders or other-
wise influential individuals. Repetition of identical
Dackground information in several biographies may be
avoided by cross-reference. Sketches open with a
Drief statement of the subject's position in his field and
:hen, as available information permits, cover the fol-
_owing points (not necessarily in the order given):
1) evaluation of subject's official or professional status
and his influence and capabilities; 2) important steps
in occupational history or career, travels abroad, and
attendance at international conferences, with dates;
3) important family, professional, or social connec-
tions; 4) attitudes toward other countries, especially
the United States and the U.S.S.R., toward Commu-
nism and Western principles of democracy, and toward
PAGE, 2
international organizations and important national and
international problems; and 5) actual or potential
threats to career.
Each biography also briefly refers to the following:
1) place and date of birth; 2) family background,
national origin, and present family; 3) group affilia-
tions (class, ethnic, or other); 4) education; 5) religious
background and extent of participation in religious
activity; 6) general statement of any reading and
listening habits or personal interests that might have
a bearing on accessibility; 7) physical and mental
characteristics; and 8) publications, languages, honors,
or other accomplishments. Subject's character and
personality are revealed by noting significant atti-
tudes, behavior, social activities, and bearing toward
equals and others.

appropriate time scale are presented for sonars (surface
ship, airborne, and submarine sonar) of all frequencies,
including rninehunting types. The effects of trans-
ducer tilt and varying the depth of the transducer
are discussed. Ambient noise and bottom effects,
including reverberation, are described.
C. PASSIVE LISTENING ? Probable ranges obtained
by heralds and submarine listening are presented.
Background noise is described.
d. BIOLOGICAL SOUND ? Discusses sound reflec-
tion, production, and scattering by animals which may
interfere with acoustic operations in the strait.
