MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Intelligence
SUBJECT : Review of the National Intelligence Survey (NIS)
Program
REFERENCE : DDI memorandum 2703-68 of 3 Oct 1968, Subj:
Comprehensive Review of the NIS Program
The review of NIS usefulness that follows is the first of two
reports in response to the Reference.
I. PROBLEM: To reassess the utility of the National Intelligence
Survey Program and the extent to which it fulfills current needs.
II. APPROACH: The following findings are based on an examina-
tion of changes in U. S. intelligence responsibilities, priorities, 25X1
and capabilities; on a widely disseminated NIS user questionnaire;
on a series of personal interviews in the field; on various discussions
among Washington headquarters personnel of the intelligence com-
munity; on an ADP applicability survey by ; and, on
a cost analysis of printing the NIS (see Annex, Tab 1).
. A. Since the inception of the NIS Program, primary pro-
duction emphasis in the intelligence community has shifted
from broad background studies and analysis of strategic resources
and basic institutions to problem-oriented analyses in direct
support of U. S. policy, plans, and operations (see Annex,
Tab 2).
B. Summarized views of NIS users in reply to a detailed
questionnaire (see Annex, Tab 3) of how frequently the elements
of the Program are used and for what purpose include:

1. The NIS is widely and regularly used, both in
Washington and in the field; almost 99% of returns indicated
some use of the NIS, with over 54% of responders consider-
ing themselves regular users.
Z 2. Of the three types of NIS products, the General
Survey is used by 86% of those replying, the Factbook by
81%, and the individual detailed sections by as many as
62% or as few as 27%. On the average, consumers reported
using nearly half of the various NIS products as listed in
the questionnaire.
3. Primary use of the NIS is as a background reference
(39%); it is also used in direct support of other research
and analysis (30%), as a briefing aid (17%), and in support
of planning and operations (11%). Nearly half of those
responding said they turned to the NIS in crisis situations.
4. NIS use is limited by irregular availability, by
security classification and concomitant storage problems,
and, it is apparent, by a lack of user familiarity with the
Program and its current products.
5. The main criticism of the NIS is that much of it is
out of date and requires more frequent and rapid mainte-
nance (updating).
C. Interviews with personnel of U. S. embassies, CIA
stations, and unified and specified military commands in
Europe, the Far East, and Africa disclosed that the NIS is
more widely used and strongly endorsed by military staffs
than by diplomatic personnel (who are most affected by problems
of access to secure storage at overseas posts) (see Annex,
Tab 4).
D. Discussions among senior OBGI personnel and with
supervisors in OCI and OER identified the following as sources
of some NIS shortcomings:
1. The General Survey's one-volume format limits
its timeliness and hence its usefulness by binding easily
outdated units with relatively unchanging ones and highly
classified units with those of much lower classification.

2. Despite an accelerated production rate, General
Surveys remain susceptible to becoming outdated.
3. Some NIS products appear to have highly special-
ized rather than general or broad usefulness.
4. In spite of restricted production capabilities, some
NIS units tend to overlap in describing the same topics
from slightly different aspects (e. g. , the General Survey
and the detailed Subversion and Insurgency section--
Section 57).
E. urvey found that further
development o automatic data processing for the NIS Factbook,
further experimentation with application to other NIS products,
and fuller study of multimedia output for the NIS offer promise
of improvement (see Annex, Tab 5).
F. A detailed, examination of NIS printing methods and
costs disclosed that 1) the NIS cost per impression is approx-
imately half the page cost reported in earlier surveys and 2)
full conversion to the EPIC system, now in partial use, would
be advantageous (see Annex, Tab 6).
A. Review of the NIS Program confirms that it is serving
its intended purpose of providing comprehensive, reliable,
basic information and analysis on foreign areas; its validity
and utility are thus reaffirmed.
B. Wider and more effective consumer use of the NIS is
hampered, however, by consumers' lack of readily available
NIS products as well as full. knowledge of the Program and by
a lack of currency that reflects both the Program's limited
production resources and low priority.
C. There is a continuing need for improved, more up-to-
date, and more readily available NIS Products.

A. A structured, interdepartmental, basic intelligence
program should be continued.
B. The present commitment of resources of USIB agencies
to the NIS should be generally maintained. Some specialized
units of limited interest may no longer require NIS publication
and dissemination (DIA and Navy are concurrently studying
their NIS products in the light of this and other problems
involving resources, requirements, format, costs, and the
Defense role in the Program--see Annex, Tab 7).
C. Separate sociological and economic sections should be
consolidated into composite sociological volumes and economic
volumes for selected countries, thereby reducing the level of
non-USIB expenditures by up to one-third.
D. Within the limitations of available budgetary resources
the NIS Program should undertake expanded coverage and more
timely production.
E. An information program should be developed to keep
present and potential users informed of available NIS and to
provide a means for user feedback.
F. The General Survey should be:
1. Refocused to deemphasize transient and perishable
aspects and to stress distinctive characteristics, themes,
and trends.
2. Assigned more qualified analyst resources for
General Survey research and writing by producer offices.
3. Increased from 30 to 40 a year by end of FY72,
thereby putting it on an-average updating cycle of less
than 3 years.
4. Published in a "separate-unit" format (each topical
unit having its own cover within a binder). Scheduling by

unit rather than Survey would not be attempted on a broad
basis until all areas have "separate-unit" coverage (i. e. ,
in about 3 years). Single-unit maintenance would thence-
forth be based on continuing validity of content, relative
importance to national security interest, age (all units
would be maintained at least every 4 years), and producer
capabilities. In connection with this .conversion,- the
scope of the Summary Map should be reevaluated.
5. Enlarged to include a Subversion and Insurgency
annex to "separate-unit" General Surveys for countries
regarded as targets of active or potential Communist-
backed insurgency (in place of producing Section 57); it is
anticipated that 20 to 25 countries would eventually be so
covered.
G. Automation of the Factbook should be further imple-
mented, and experiments with ADP applications to both processing
and multimedia output of other NIS products should be continued.
H. A fully developed EPIC system based on 100% contributor-
produced tape should be implemented. 25X1

NIS USER SURVEY METHODOLOGY
Reassessment of the NIS Program was undertaken through a number
of separate approaches that included:
A. An NIS User Questionnaire which sought to reach as wide as
possible a range of users, both in Washington and in the field, utilizing
the NIS Factbook dissemination list.
B. Personnel interviews in the field with U. S. military, diplomatic,
and civilian intelligence officers stationed in 20 different foreign
countries in Europe, Africa, and the Far East.
C. Detailed discussions between senior OBGI personnel and senior
production planning administrators (from DIA, OCI, and OER) regarding
the desirability and feasibility of changes in the concepts and treatment
.of a number of individual NIS products.
D. An independent examination of the significance of automatic data
processing (ADP) systems for the NIS Program by a team of experts
25X1
E. An OBGI reexamination of printing methods and costs to deter-
mine whether printing economies are feasible without reducing the
utility of the NIS to users.

BASIC STATUTORY AUTHORITY, DIRECTIVES,
I. STATUTORY AUTHORITY AND PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVES:
A. The statutory authority for producing coordinated basic
intelligence through the NIS Program is the National Security Act of
1947 -- which provides that the Central Intelligence Agency, under
direction of the National Security Council, shall correlate, evaluate,
and disseminate intelligence relating to the national security.
B. In implementation of this statute, provisions for the
coordinated production and maintenance of basic intelligence through
the NIS Program are set forth in Paragraph 1 of NSCID No. 3 (Coordination
of Intelligence Production). This directive defines basic intelligence
as "factual intelligence which results from the collation of encyclopedic
information of a fundamental and more or less permanent nature. "
The basic intelligence required in the interests of national security is
to be "compiled and continuously maintained" in the National Intelligence
Survey "to cover foreign countries, areas, or broad special subjects"
in accordance with an outline of requirements to be "maintained by the
CIA in collaboration with the appropriate departments and agencies. "
C.. The concept of interagency participation in the NIS, and in
the allocation of NIS production responsibilities, has been integrally

built into the NIS Program. NSC Intelligence Directive No. 1 charges
the Director of Central Intelligence with coordinating U. S. foreign
intelligence activities-- directing him further to "call upon the other
departments and agencies as appropriate to ensure that on intelligence
matters affecting the national security the intelligence community is
supported by the full knowledge and technical talent available in or to
the government. " NSCID No. 1 explicitly notes that non-USIB
departments and agencies are members of the intelligence community
"to the extent of their agreed participation in regularly established
interdepartmental intelligence activities. " NSCID No. 3 directs that
NIS production be allocated to the "Central Intelligence Agency and/or
to those other departments or agencies of the Government which are
best qualified by reason of mission, production capability, and primary
interest to assume the production and maintenance responsibilities. "
It is repeated for emphasis that "departments or agencies to be called
on for contributions to this undertaking may include other than those
represented permanently on the U. S. Intelligence Board.
II. REAFFIRMATIONS:
A. Successive revisions of NSCID's 1 and 3, since 1948, have
varied slightly in the precise wordings of definitions and instructions
but have essentially reaffirmed the authority, responsibilities, and
missions described above. Following a survey of the NIS Program in

.1963 by the DCI's Coordination Staff, USIB on 28 August 1963 approved
an updated statement of the "Concept, Direction and Management of
the National Intelligence Survey (NIS) Program, and Coordination with
Other Programs of Basic Intelligence. " This reaffirmed the requirement
for the NIS Program of basic intelligence and directed that the Program
be reoriented to make the General Survey the primary unit of NIS
coverage and to put production and maintenance of supplementary basic
sections on a more flexible basis--to be explicitly determined for each
topic and for each country or area. (Several elements were dropped
at that time...)
III. COVERAGE AND MAINTENANCE CONCEPTS:
A. From its inception, those responsible for the NIS were
charged not only with the original compilation of all basic intelligence
required in the interest of national security but also with the continuous
maintenance of this intelligence through the NIS Program. With
increasing pressures for more frequent review and maintenance of
several thousand published NIS country or area elements, scheduling
of the Program was modified by the 1963 USIB paper to emphasize
frequent maintenance of the relatively brief General Survey. Supporting
(detailed) sections are now selectively maintained at varying time
intervals dependent upon available resources and the significance of
each topic for the particular area in question.

B. To achieve optimum coverage and a practicable maintenance
schedule with the resources available, the NIS Committee developed
the NIS Coverage Plan (approved by USIB in April 1968) which projects
scheduling substantially beyond the former 2-year production forecast.
Under this Coverage Plan, General Surveys on some 33 areas of. high
strategic importance are maintained at intervals of about 3 years, if
not sooner. General Surveys on some 75 other areas are revised at
an average rate of every 4 years. Regular production is not planned
for the remaining areas but is undertaken only as specifically warranted.
Planned supplementary coverage through detailed sections is rigorously
selective according to identified user requirement and the importance
of the specific topic to the country or area. On the average only 7
supporting elements out of a possible 25 are scheduled for such production
for any given NIS country or area. Maintenance cycles will vary by
topic and by country or area, in accordance with the perishability of the
subject matter and the availability of producer capabilities. This
coverage plan has been in effect only about 1 year, and only a small
fraction of the objectives of the plan have been realized. Its full effect
will not be achieved for perhaps 5 years.

NIS USER SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE
A. Methods
1. The questionnaire method was chosen as the most effective
means of assessing NIS usefulness, considering the wide range of
NIS recipients located in many different parts of the world. To obtain
the views of a variety of individual users and not an "official line,
the questionnaire was distributed through normal NIS dissemination
channels rather than through "chains of command. " Dissemination
was patterned after that of the NIS Factbook--the most widely
disseminated NIS product.
2. The questionnaire (copy attached) was structured, with the
professional assistance of MBSD/ORD, to elicit information through
"Yes" or "No" and multiple-choice answers; it also provided for
negative comments, for personal criticisms, and for suggestions for
program improvement. ORD also provided consultative services during
the compilation and analysis of results.
a. To analyze the various organizational levels at which
the NIS is used, the responder was asked to identify his
component, type of position, and field of activity. Signature
was optional..
b. In addition to an indication of the regularity of receipt
of NIS units, the responder was asked to report on the availability

and use of the NIS Production Status Report--the only publication
providing up-to-date information on NIS coverage.
c. Question 4 provided a list of all active separate NIS units,
on each of which the responder was asked to indicate answers to
the following: 1) the degree of use (regularly, occasionally,
rarely, or never) and 2) the type(s) of use (Background, Research
and Analysis, Briefings, Plans and Operations, and Other).
. d. As a complement to the degree of use shown for each
separate NIS element in question 4, the responder was asked in
question 5 to indicate whether he considered himself a "regular"
or "infrequent" user of NIS and to rank, from lists provided, the
reasons for his choice.
e. Because of its bearing on the contingency use of the NIS,
the responder was asked how useful the NIS was in crash or crisis
situations.
f. Space was provided for narrative comment on shortcomings
in the NIS Program and recommendations for improvement.
B. Results
1. Over 2, 300 copies of the NIS User Questionnaire were
disseminated through normal NIS distribution channels, and a total of
1, 048 returns were received by cut-off time for tabulation and analysis.

Percentages of responders indicating Regular (A), Occasional
(B), or ,Rare (C) use for each of the 30 NIS elements are given in Table
II. Elements are grouped by major discipline. Many responders
apparently used "D" to indicate nonreceipt of NIS units; some of these
. specified "nonreceipt" or "not applicable. " Others left the spaces
blank, apparently reserving "D" to indicate nonuse of certain units
which they held or which were available to them. Precise distinctions
as to intent were not possible. Table III ranks each NIS element
within each category of use (A, B, C, and combined).
The General Survey was reported used by 86% of the total
of 1, 048 responders- -with 73% using it more often than "rarely. !' The
Factbook was used almost as widely; nearly 81% made some use of it- -
64% more often than "rarely.
The varying use reported of the more detailed supporting
sections reflected the wide range of special topics covered. The highly
specialized units on Marine Climate and on Oceanography and the
Supplement to the Weather and Climate Unit were nevertheless reported
used by close to 30% (or more) of all responders. Use of the other
basic sections ranged from just under 40% to roughly 60%--i. e. , from

use was either for general "background" (39%) or for specific reference
use to support current research, analysis, or other production (30%).
No line of distinction was drawn between these two somewhat similar
categories; the returns themselves, suggest that the more frequent
uses reported were more commonly described as in support of specific
research and production--whereas the less frequent uses recorded
were more often identified rather as "for background. " Use of the
NIS to support "briefings" represented about 17% of uses; most of the
remaining use was indicated as supporting operational planning (about
11%), with 3% "other uses" (not identified).
5. Replies to Question 5 indicated that 54. 7% of all responders
considered themselves "regular users" of NIS publications- -with 45. 3%
designating their use as "infrequent.
6. Reasons for regular or infrequent use
Although responders were asked to rank the reasons which
they indicated for their regular or infrequent use of the NIS, about
one-third merely checked one or more reasons without ranking them.
Weights were assigned to such checks in order to include them in the
tabulations for ranking purposes.
Among the reasons for regular use of the NIS, "supplies
information in a conveniently assembled form not otherwise available"

Almost half the returns indicated that the NIS had been
used in crisis, crash, or emergency planning situations (47. 5%). Close
to three-quarters of these reported NIS usefulness in these particular
situations as "excellent" or "good"; nearly all the rest reported it
"adequate. " Only 4. 2% found NIS use to have been "marginal" in such
circumstances.

8. Criticisms and suggestions
By far the most frequently noted criticism of the NIS Program
is that it is not sufficiently up-to-date. Although only 34% of the
responders commented in questions 9 or 10 on lack of currency, almost
two-thirds of all questionnaire returns include some reference to the
user's need for more up-to-date information. In a number of cases,
the returns concede the difficulty--or impracticality--of the NIS attaining
complete currency; in most instances, however, the effort is urged.
More frequent maintenance and more rapid processing and publication
are suggested.
The next most frequent suggestion of users is for additional
detail; about one-fourth of returns indicate a desire for expansion of
detail of some sort (11jo commented in questions 9 or 10). Although
many of these suggestions are for the addition of some rather specialized
type of information, such as for a particular type of more detailed
map or technical data, over half of them ask for "more detail" or "less
summarized and general treatment. " Remaining suggestions showed
little consistency.
The following are shortcomings and suggestions most
frequently commented on in questions 9 or 10 (?jo based on 1, 048 responses):

C. Interpretation
1. - The interpretation of data from surveys is meaningful only
insofar as the data sources are representative of the larger population
from which they were drawn. The degree of accuracy can be judged
by the size of the overall sample and by the representation of diverse
components of subpopulation within the overall returns. In this instance
the return rate approximated 45%, a truly high figure, even for a
"closed system". This high rate of return not only gives credulity to
the accuracy of the data but also indicates a fairly high degree of
involvement on the part of the respondents within the NIS program. The

TAB3
community at large is well sampled and in sufficient number to provide
intracommunity comparison as necessary (see tabulation on p. 3 above).
2. Along with the caveat of a representative sample another
caution must be borne in mind in this particular survey. The prime
purpose of the study was to evaluate the validity of the NIS program
concept. Validity is most appropriately measured by a comparison
with an independent criterion. Unfortunately such criteria are usually
lacking in the social science disciplines, which ultimately means that
statements about validity are inferences. In this particular instance
validity is inferred from data on use of the NIS; its extent, type, and
reasons for use. These data are derived from the questionnaire. It
is important to note that the form also provided the respondent with
an opportunity to indicate nonuse and reasons for nonuse as well as an
opportunity to point out flaws and criticize constructively. Given an
objective questionnaire that affords the opportunity to respond in either
a positive or negative fashion the rationale for inferring validity is that
a product that is being used is serving a purpose and hence is valid;
similarly, a product that is not being used or used minimally presumably
is not serving a purpose, therefore one may infer lack of validity.
3. Examination of the results indicates that all NIS products were
used by some of the respondents. The mean number of NIS publications

lications are referred
to less than others. However, many specialized publications have a
significantly lesser distribution, which means in turn that a lesser
.number are in a position to respond positively. The figures in the
table are based on the raw data and have not been "adjusted" to reflect
the distribution; thus, caution must be used if direct comparisons of
the sections are attempted. Nonetheless, inspection of the raw data
clearly indicates multiple usage of the sections. It should be noted
that the degree of usage (as determined from the mean number of sections
checked) is relatively uniform among the members of the intelligence
community with the exception of the returns from the State Department.
State - Field indicated the least use (6. 4), which is in sharp contrast
to Defense - Field the most active user (17. 0). However, when the types
of use to which the NIS is most often put are examined (see Table IV),
the same pattern appears--the NIS is used predominantly for 1) general
background and 2) analysis, research, and production. These two
categories account, in that order, for approximately 70% of the referrals
to NIS. The sole deviation from that order is a reversal shown by the
non-USIB respondents, but here the categories combined account for
90% of the referrals. The.types of use indicated appear to be in keeping

with the' philosophy of basic intelligence and are interpreted as supporting
the validity of the NIS concept. Similarly, the sometimes heavy
representation of the occasional and rare categories of use, compared to
regular, must also be interpreted in context of -the reference function
of basic intelligence. The reader must also bear in mind that the
respondent had the opportunity to check "never" as a category of use;
hence it would be erroneous to interpret "rare" as suggestive of low
validity. Another factor that may enter into the degree of use is the
dissemination mechnism. The survey revealed that receipt of the NIS
sections was often irregular or a section was "not available. " A more
tenable hypothesis is that the degree of use more likely is an indicator
of the office functions which the responder represents. The circum-
stance of use, i. e. , "crisis" or "crash" program usage, provide an
interesting point. Approximately 50% of all respondents indicated
turning to the NIS under pressure conditions. This included 27% who
classified themselves as nonusers. This may appear at first to be a
surprisingly high percentage if a "crisis" situation is regarded as revol-
ving predominantly about current conditions and intelligence. However,
a proper evaluation of the "current" is usually dependent upon placing
it in perspective against the background of more enduring factors or
conditions, which typically are reviewed and reported in the NIS sections.

. Thus the utility of a repository of basic information can be seen in
circumstances which by definition can be considered rare. In many
instances the respondents indicated that the NIS was the only source
4. The reason cited most often for regular use, i. e. , "supplies
information conveniently" is interpreted as consistent with the reference
or repository function of basic intelligence. The second most cited
reason, i. e. , secondary source, is suggestive of a style of work of
those who consider themselves regular users. This is perhaps best
understood by examining the reasons given for nonuse. The most often
cited reason for nonuse was "marginally related to needs. "' This
raises an important point because if the statement is accurate it suggests
that the user's office function is not related to NIS coverage (inappropriate
distribution) and therefore is really a false negative and justifiably
might be excluded from the sample. On the other hand if the office
function is appropriate for NIS coverage then these are true negatives
and, albeit a minority compared to the users, indicative of a lack of
utility of the NIS which in turn reduces its validity. A more detailed
and follow-up analysis may be necessary to explicate this point. The
second most cited reason for nonuse was "lack of currency. " This
reason may have some legitimacy on the basis of its frequency of appear-
ance and certainly needs some ameliorative attention. However, it 'is
 Approved For Release 20c/(- :IC F - /1P,0062A001300020005-0
important to note that in many instances it appeared to reflect a lack of
understanding on the part of the respondent between basic and current
intelligence. The third most cited reason for nonuse--"needs filled by
other publications"--is interesting and difficult to interpret without a
detailed study of the data. It may be that some of these are false or
true negatives, as in the primary reason for nonuse and for the same
reasons; or it may suggest that these nonusers do not feel the need for
secondary source material the way that users do. If that interpretation
is correct, then it may reflect a different modus operandi between NIS
users and nonusers. No reasons for such a stylistic difference are
readily apparent. The interpretation suggested takes on additional
meaning when one considers that a closely related and closely ranked
reason for nonuse was "of value only with other publications. " These
and other reasons indicated for nonuse must be carefully evaluated
and considered in future plans for the NIS. It may be concluded that while
the NIS has utility to a majority of the respondents, Program utility to
the remainder would depend on the proportion of true negatives among
those indicating nonuse.
D. Use of Non-USIB Products
Because of the special consideration given NIS contracts with
non- USIB agencies, a separate study of non- USIB products has been made.
