3tJT'i`: Committee on p.1oitation of Fbrei;
Publications
1. It is understood that the Director has withheld decision
on the dissolution of the Committee on Exploitation of Foreign
LanLi a ;e Publications pending further consideration of the advisa-
bility of this action. It, therefore, sees appropriate at this
juncture to review the baekt,u d of the Committee and our views
concerniut` its status.
2. The Committee has functioned in effect since April 1953,
althout h technically in the early period, it was a Subcommittee
of the old NSCID-16 Committee. The Committee met frequently for
mazy years in working out prot-rrans of exploitation that would meet
the Community's needs in the exploitation of forei. lan uage
publications within the facilities and budgets available. In the
last few years, however., the Committee has met less frequently.
Meet in&,s are now held five times a year for an annual review of
each of the five major area proLramv. The Committee has not had
problems requiring resolution at the UyIB level.
3. The Committee has been very useful in.
a. Mvisin ; the Agency of the needs of the other W SIB
members,
b. Acquaintin~i members with overaJ.. Community require-
ments and the nature of activities maintained by the
separate a encies to met their departmental rids,
c. 11itfecting closer liaison on the working level,
d. Stzlatine increased cooperation on the part of all
,,ambers.
lio i that broad pros of exploitation have been estab;
close cooperation between a }encies effected, and. FDD's role
a service of common concern widely understood, we have arrived at

a point where rear E tin{ ;3 of the Committee are ?. on t
needed. Changes in requirements now are essentially ones of detail
that can best be handled between specialists, rather than at the
C: ittee level. Coordination between FDD and an activity main-
tained by one of the other a ;encie s can best be handled on a bilat-
oral basiy, rather than occulyint the time of the Committee with
tared: details.

we have no stron,? feellnt;,s one way or the other. In either case F DD
i:Ll continue to provide a service of co taon concern In the exploi-
tation of foreign lan4.;ua;e publications within its budEetary limita-
tions. We will continue to reco; atze and accept requirements of the
various intelligence agencies. 7e will continue to seek cooperation
in coordinatin activities maintained by the departments or ak;enciea
to -meet their own needs. If the t I B Committee is dissolved, we
will in the future, as occasion warrants, call ad hoc Committee
rasets.nt;s for purposes of coordinalviou and discussion of now developments.
