1uSS Committee Report on FY68 and
FY 69 Production Forecast
(b) USIB-D-SS1. 1/$, 28 August 1963
(a) USlB- -369, 4 February I
963 USIB conducted a thorough review of the MS Program
and by reference (b) assumed responsibility for establishing priorities
for NIS production and was the basis for the Board's action in reference (a)
requesting an a nual forecast. The MS Committee memorandum of
88 February, therefore, gives USIB an agreed forecast of MS production,
broken down by world regions.
Z. The Forecast extends for the two years the pattern of NIB
production by topics and countries which USIB approved last year.
Africa continues to rank first with 24% of the forecast coverage in
FY68 and 29% in FY69; Latin America is second with 22% in each year.
The one-volume General Survey continues to be the primary unit of
coverage. The pattern of priorities reflects the U SIB view that the
Program should emphasize General Survey coverage with selective
supplementary coverage determined by the significance with which
c applies to a particular area. By combining areas, total
area coverage provided in the topical units will be increased 28%
by FY69 without a significant Increase in units produced.

forecast shows NIS coverage; I.e., each country times the topics
devoted to it, with each General Survey counted as 8 topics. The
actual published units will be less because of the multi-topic General
Surveys and combining of countries in certain supplementary units.
The approximately 120 countries shown are those on which there
will be some production during the two years, and do not include
all 140 -untries. Dates show what topical units have been published
