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.
1. 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,
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
III. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:
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.
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out of date and requires more frequent and rapid mainte-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.

 Approved For Release 2002/05/9 *I.jPF82M00531 R0001 00010022-3
2. Despite an acc,:lerated 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. survey found that further
development of 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).
IV. CONCLUSIONS:
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 arid 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.

V. RECOMMENDATIONS:
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 anaverage 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
cove red.
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.

NIS USER SURVEY METHODOLOGY
ANNE X*_
TAB i?
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
from
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,
AND CONCEPTS UNDERLYING THE NIS PROGRAM
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 I 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.

ISIS 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 recon-irriendations 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.

it "sporadic and uncertain.'" A few users indicated that they were
holding NIS issues that had been superseded. Others reflected a
lack of knowledge of the availability of NIS coverage; in this connection
some used the questionnaire to request specific NIS.

Percentages of responders indicating Regular (A), Occasional

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 (301).
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. 31
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"

7. Use in crisis situations
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 (11% 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 (% 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

community at large is well sampled and in sufficient number to provide
intraconzmunity 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

referred to by the respondents was M. 6, indicating active and broad
usage. As can be seen from Table III some publications 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
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. 1-Iowever,
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
available.
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 all 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

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.

FIELD INTERVIEWS
A. To obtain greater depth of comment on the NIS Program
and for better understanding and interpretation of user questionnaire
replies: arrangements were made for three members of the OBGI
staff to conduct personal field interviews in U. S. embassies and
consulates, Agency stations, and principal military commands in
19 countries of Europe, Africa, and the Far East. Some 140 individual
U. S.. officials, representing a large number of separate offices, were
asked about their use of NIS and encouraged to comment on the value
of the various NIS products. To sample an actual "active warfare"
situation, a former OBGI staff member currently assigned to Saigon
was asked to contact principal U. S. military commands in South Vietnam.
B. Certain qualified conclusions may be drawn from the interview
accounts and summary reports submitted by the four interviewers.
There is great variation from post to post and from person to person
in the values assigned the NI.S and in the usefulness attributed to the
various kinds of NIS publication -- reflecting differences in the type of
mission, the level of authority and responsibility of offices, the
geographic location of posts, the persona]. interests of individuals,
and. (of particular weight) the local availability of NIS products.

(1) Broadly speaking, the NIS tends to be more widely used
and more highly valued by senior military command staffs than
by senior diplomatic personnel, particularly in some of the larger,
long-established embassies.(e. g. , London, Stockholm). Thus,
the London Embassy retains few NIS products, and uses them
only desultorily -- whereas CINCNAVEUR (one block away)
maintains a complete library of all published NIS and declares it
indispensable.
(2) Other embassies, however, report greater use of the NIS though usually unsystematically -- not only in some of the smaller
missions such as the Hong Kong consulate, Nairobi, 'Dar es Salaam
but also such major centers as Paris, Brussels, Madrid, and
Bangkok. U. S. staff in a number of embassies reporting rather
limited use of NIS attributed this -- at least in considerable part to lack of general knowledge about the NIS and its range of
publications, compounded by the difficulties and inconveniences of
getting access to the NIS because of embassy security arrangements
(storage problems).
(3) Endoresement of the NIS by military command staffs tends
to be sweeping. For example, CINCPAC, CINCPACFLT, and
ARPAC officers referred to the NIS as most valuable, " "widely

and a '.'bible over the years. " In South Vietnam, COMNAVFORV
was "full of praise" for the NIS, maintaining that it "could not do
without it. " The J-2 of MACV found it equally "indispensable. "
Only at field levels did intelligence staffs disclaim a need for "any
basic intelligence that does not have immediate tactical application. "
(4) Views expressed about the value of the General Survey

(a) Senior diplomats in the larger embassies tended to
confine their personal interest to the General Survey and to
question the need for more detailed treatments. In a number
of less senior diplomatic posts, however, and especially
among working level staffs, the usefulness of the detailed
sections received equal emphasis and in some cases greater
emphasis. (In Africa, for example, expressed interest was
almost confined to the basic sections; General Surveys were
said to be used chiefly for orientation to neighboring countries,
whereas the particular need is for more detailed NIS coverage
of local tribal, religious, sociological, and biographic matters. )
(b) Military command staffs, on the other hand, usually
stressed the value of the basic sections as much as the

17 June 1969
The present report is the outcome of a brief study which was
25X1A contracted to
Report Submitted
by ORD, in response to an
OBGI request. The purpose of the study was to review the process of
production of the NIS and to outline, for further consideration, areas
in which automated data processing appears to offer potential for
improvement of the product or economy in its production.
The study was restricted to a two-week period, and therefore- it
relied heavily on inputs from individuals who are concerned in the
production acitivity. The study team wishes to acknowledge the whole-
hearted cooperation which was received from these people, in many
branches, and recognizes that the guidance which was received, and
the discussions which were rapidly arranged, were an essential
contribution to the completion of the study.

The study considered the volumes of the NIS which make up the
General Surveys, the detailed supplements which augment the General
Surveys, and, as a somewhat separate subject, the Factbook. It is
apparent that between these, there are qualitative differences, both in
content and intended use, which have dictated different modes of
production. These differences are also pertinent to considerations of
the application of automated methods.
On the one hand, the Factbook contains brief but highly formatted
abstracts of largely quantitative information on a large number of
countries. Except for a very small scale locator map, it contains
no graphics. Its greatest values lie in its accuracy (i. e. , currency)
and accessibility. Therefore, it is frequently updated and reissued;
because of the rigorous formatting, updating is largely a process of
replacement of some numbers and short phrases. As there are no
graphics, and as the in-print version is retained on punched paper tape,
it has been possible to follow a frequent publication schedule by combining
a source-tape correction activity with photo-offset printing.
On the other hand, the General Surveys and their detailed supple-
ments are predominantly textual, but include substantial amounts of
graphic materials which range from relatively simple charts and tables,

through half-tone photographic prints, to precise full color maps.
Therefore, . in order to maintain the quality of the product, a high
quality printing process is employed; though the preparation costs
for this process are high, it is shown in the next section that they
are a minor part of the total cost of producing the NIS. The question
of the need for this quality of production requires subjective evaluation
of the value of the information to the users of the NIS, and was con-
s.idered to be beyond the scope of the present effort. The study,
therefore, concentrated on the consideration of tools and techniques
which show promise of improving the production process while
maintaining the current quality. However, when obvious alternatives
were perceived they have been recorded as options for additional study.
The OBGI, which was the first point of contact between the study
team and the NIS production process, controls only the editing and
publication of the documents, even though it has been regarded as
having much broader responsibilities. The study team rapidly became
aware that the process can be seen in perspective only if it is considered
as a continuous flow from the originating analyst, through editing and
publication, to printing, and finally to dissemination. In addition, the
needs of the user, particularly in relation to the physical form best
suited to his application, are important considerations. Though the

study team is aware that work is proceeding to apply automated aids
to cartography, the schedule did not permit study of these applications.
Therefore, this area is not discussed in this report.
GENERAL SURVEY AND NIS SUBSECTIONS
Because of the differences in quality of reproduction, frequency of
publication, and intended use, between the Factbook and the other
volumes of the NIS, it is believed that the Factbook should receive
separate consideration. Therefore, the remarks that follow are
addressed primarily to the production of the textual volumes.
The NIS production process can be functionally and organizationally
divided into three phases.

Current plans call for the maintenance of 108 volumes of General

42, 000 pages of text per year.

The distribution of re sources, and the expenditures of time, on
the major functions involved in producing the NIS, are illustrated in
Figure 1. The costs incurred by Printing Services Division comprise
two parts, the cost of preparation for printing, which is independent of
the number of copies printed, and the actual printing cost, which, of
course, is proportional to the number of copies. There is evidence
that the printing cost is a small proportion, probably of the order of
10-2050, of the total costs in PSD. Therefore, it appears to be futile
to-seek significant savings by such techniques as reducing the document
distribution or using cheaper printing materials.
It is apparent from Figure 1 that the majority of the effort involved
in NIS production is not only outside the authority of OBGI, but is also
beyond'the direct control of the Agency. In fact, OBGI incurs only
11%, PSD 12?%0, and other Agency divisions about 19% of the total expend-
itures. - The possibilities for economy in the Agency-controlled
activities of editing, publication, and printing should be pursued, even
though their impact may be minor. However, it is apparent that major
reductions inth.e cost of the total program must be sought in the
originating analytical activities, and, in particular, in the non-Agency
activities, where 58?%0 of the expense is incurred.

General
Though it is not considered feasible to design an automated system
.in support of NIS production, there are several areas within the process
where the application of appropriate automated aids offers promise of
'improvement.
Analysis and Production
As the raw data is received, there is a need to select and structure
the subset relevant to a subject or country. These data. will be retrieved
later by an analyst as he constructs his revised NIS submission. One
may predict that it will become possible at some time in the future to
support all NIS analysts with a readily available data base which has
been automatically screened, indexed, and stored.
However, the study team believes that this ADP approach is still
in a:-research stage, particularly for political, sociological, and economic
subjects. Neither the concept of representing an-analyst's needs in a
form that can adequately control. an automatic screening and indexing
technique, nor the engineering problems of handling multi-form,
multi-source data, have been worked out in sufficient detail to support
an operational system.
Rather than rely on a system which attempts to capture data
automatically, the analyst himself should screen and index data. A

number of techniques exist which employ combinations of digital processing
and imagery that could be applied to assist analysts in these tasks, and
in retrieving selected information. Digital techniques may be useful in
creating and querying indexes, and in storing textual abstracts. 1--Iowever,
'microfilm or video subsystems may be necessary to assist analysts
in retrieving and checking source data.
The team considers that the provision of direct automated support
to analysts must be considered in the context of their total job, rather
than simply as an aid to NIS production. The analysis related to NIS is
but a small part of this total job, and it would seem that resources
would be better utilized in creating aids to current analysis, with
suitable provision for NIS aids as a by-product. If the large number of
analysts who are involved intermittently in NIS production, and constantly
in current analysis, were to be supported by a central on-line digital
information system, a large and complex time sharing executive would
be necessary. Such a system certainly could not be justified for the
NIS alone, and is probably beyond presently demonstrated capability
even though it may be technically feasible. It therefore appears more
promising to investigate the provision of small., dedicated on-line
systems at the branch or division level as these have more immediate
potential. Eventually, such dedicated systems may become satellites
of a. central system of considerable power.

The study team believes direct support to analysts is possible and
promising. In addition to support in information storage and retrieval,
certain techniques could be applied to the process of manuscript production,
particularly if the analyst is engaged in maintaining an already produced
NIS. Stand alone tape-to-display-to-corrected tape devices are
available to assist in play-back and update of a previous submission.
These techniques will be discussed in later paragraphs.
Transfer Process
Manuscripts produced by analysts are transferred from the
originating offices to OBGI for coordination, editing, and publication.
This source input appears in typed hard copy, paper tape, or mangetic
tape cassette form. In order to place the input in machine readable
form early in the publication process standardized input is desirable.
All sources could be directed to provide magnetic tape typewriter
cassettes.pl.us manuscript, or clean typed standard manuscript suitable
for input to an optical character reader, and translation to machine form.
A cost/engineering study should be used to assist in determining the
most suitable medium.
Format Editing
The editorial. and publication divisions of OBGI edit, proofread,
correct, and determine the format for final NIS printing. A limited

Techniques now exist for off-line support to text manipulation. Stand
alone tape- to- display- to- tape devices can be acquired at relatively low
monthly rental. Although these techniques appear promising, design
.verification'testing in the particular operational environment of OBGI
would be required in order to determine those procedures and
capabilities of most assistance to the editors.
The same type of devices could be applied earlier in the process,
at the originating source, to assist the analyst in the preparation of
revisions to the NIS, provided that the revision is more one of maintenance
than complete rewrite.
Substantive Editing
Suitable automated assistance to editor/analysts in the editorial
division of OBGI is dependent upon the amount of change required per
manuscript. If the changes are limited to updating content as opposed
to rewriting for change in composition and style, processor- supported
text editing may prove to be of assistance. The aforementioned tape
to. display capability would require augmentation with a small computer
to provide the logic capable of handling extended text manipulation, such
as additions of new paragraphs. While this technology is, available,
experimentation is necessary to determine if it is suitable and practical

for application in the OBGI enviror ment: Such experimentation should
be conducted only after successful experimentation in the area of format
editing.
Printing and Dissemination
A number of automated aids are currently being applied in the
printing area. One of these (EPIC) is directed at reducing the time
necessary for composition and providing a direct input to automatic
type setting. This text manipulating and page formatting software
sy'stexn is run on the IBM-360 series computers. The design concept
for this system was reviewed by the study team and found to be
responsive to high quality printing requirements. The software package
itself is not complete and as a result, operational history is not yet
available, on the complete system. The team believes EPIC should be
supported and produced according to design requirements.
Since the original design of EPIC, the production of microfilm
directly from computer tape has become a reality. This fact, coupled
with the potential need for multi-media output, suggests that extensions
to EPIC capabilities may be needed to support these new potentials.
The NIS is now produced in hard copy form. The existence of
techniques that make it possible to print microfilm directly from a
computer raises the possibility of economically produced multi-media
output. Some users are currently converting the hard copy NIS to

Though the processing of the Factbook follows the same general
flow as do the textual volumes, the contents and intended use are
different. The Factbook has a well-defined data structure and contains
a high proportion of quantitative information augmented by short
comments. The book is republished at half-yearly intervals, and is
intended as a current compendium of objective data. Updating of
specific items is frequent, but tends to be by word-for-word or
phrase-for-phrase substitution, rather than by interpretation and
textual revision. Normally, the originating analyst can inform
publications division of changes by providing a marked up copy of a
current page, and the matching punched paper tape can be amended to
incorporate the changes. This type of document is well suited to
storage, retrieval,and maintenance on a digital processor.
As a practical aid to the maintenance of the book, one may consider
a tape-to--di splay system which would simplify updating and ensure that
the current data is always available in machine processable form. A
display output system would have the advantage of more rapid read-out
and correction than the present punched tape system, and would reduce
the need for paper output. Such a basic system could be extended by
the addition of a small dedicated data processor. This could then operate

"current facts" service to a variety of users. In addition, it would
.be possible to augment the content by providing some mathematical
functions and comparative statistical analysis of current data.
? The potential advantages of an automated Factbook are that it
would offer:
a) More current data availability,
b) A capability for calculations,
c) The possibility of more frequent update of sections,
d) Editors and publishers an opportunity to gain
experience in using automated aids,
e) A vehicle for more direct contact with users, and
f) Potential reduction in frequency of update of the
'General Surveys, thus, reducing size of analysis
effort and associated expense.
Although there are apparent advantages to automating the Factbook,
the needs of, and acceptance by, potential users should be determined
before proceeding with full. implementation. Therefore, in order that
these factors may be more clearly recognized, it is felt that an on-line
retrieval system should operate,-at least initially, in support of an
OBGI Controller. The reference service is therefore seen as a
telephone query service, rather than as an on-line service to a
geographically dispersed group of users.

SUGGESTIONS
ANNEX
TAB 5
The results of this analysis have indicated several areas of
.potential application of data processing techniques to assist the process
of producing the NIS series of basic intelligence documents. It is a
conclusion of the study that within the process, from initial analysis
and manuscript preparation through final copy production, automated
aids can be provided to assist and improve the current methods being
used. While these aids in the long range may merge into 'a system for
producing the NIS, the initial steps taken should be directed toward
providing assistance in the performance of specific functions within
the process.
The following recommendations are divided into three categories:
1: Editing and Publication Support (OBGI)
2. Printing and Dissemination Support (PSD)
3. Analyst Support (Various originating offices)
Editing and Publication (Ol3GI Support)
1. The manuscript provided by each contributor to the NIS should
be converted to machine readable form as early in the process as
possible. Therefore, a single machine readable manuscript form could
be established as a required submission to OBGI and included in the

NIS instruction manual. A short analysis should be conducted to
determine the most suitable form for this input. Options which should
be considered are a uniform tape format to be used by each contributor
to the NIS, and single-font hard copy manuscripts for input to an
optical character reader.
2. A stand alone tape-display capability could be developed to
assist in the "format" editing process. If this option is pursued the
capability should be introduced on an experimental basis to establish
acceptable and useful design features for editing, before a final
specification is generated. It is believed that an initial experimental
capability can be implemented within a short period of time.
3. An analysis and design study should be initiated to identify
the data processing additions to the tape-display to support a substan-
tive editing function. For economy, and to eliminate the requirement
for secure data communication to remote processors, this study should
be limited to the consideration of small data processors.
4. The conversion of the EPIC software to the 360 series machines
should be accelerated. In addition, the EPIC system design should
be examined to determine what additional capability is required to
support multi-media document production.

1. A study should be conducted to determine the need and potential
extended use of a multi-media output of the NIS series. Forms such
as microfilm and magnetic tape should be explored as possible additions
to the present hard copy. Graphics quality, user needs, and methods
of secondary distribution are examples. of questions to be explored.
2. A supplementary user survey should be conducted to:
obtain the additional detail necessary to support engineering
decisions regarding multi-media. use and on-line availability,
b) validate the results: of the limited response from the initial study,
c) determine special use' features required of the NIS,
d) establish how and in what form the NIS is used by recipients.
Such a supplementary survey should consist of in-depth interviews with
a selected subset of users that responded, as well as those who did
not respond, to the initial. survey.
Analyst Support
A study should be conducted to define an experimental approach to
the provision of the most suitable automated aids to support Agency
analysts in preparing NIS manuscripts. Such aids should be treated
as extentions of existing and planned capabilities which provide support
to the analyst in his current primary duties. In this way a consistent
and compatible set of analyst support tools could be developed.

An analysis and development effort should be initiated to automate
the production and updating of the Factbook. The uniform format and
.style of this document provide a sound basis for the design of a
Factbook data file which can be easily indexed. The abbreviated
contents limit the amount of computer storage required, thus making
the Fa.ctbook a feasible choice for initial automation. Such an automatic

NIS PRINTING COSTS
A. Concurrent with the NIS User Survey the cost of printing was
reexamined. This was stimulated by the June 1968 Study of CIA
Publication Requirements and Capabilities, which cited an 11 cents per
page cost for the NIS in FY67, and by a DDI memo to Director, OBGI,
which stated that this was about six times the cost of other finished
intelligence. Figures for NIS and other intelligence publications were
derived in quite different ways and are not truly comparable. It should
be noted that in the 1968 printing study the number of impressions (one
image per page or-map) in FY67 was given for many other Agency
publications but not for the NIS.
B. Printing charged to the NIS Program for FY67, in addition to
the regular runs on Factbooks, General Surveys, and detailed sections,
included almost 5 million impressions of items such as extra copies of
base maps, General Survey Summary Maps, status reports, forms,
proofs, and section reruns. Thousands of base maps and General Survey
maps are distributed by the Map Library; these are widely used through-
out the community for reference or research and find their way into many
non-NIS publications. Complete cost records for FY67, supplied to
OBGI by the Fiscal Division, show that published NIS in FY67 cost
$713, 778 for approximately 10, 000, 000 impressions. The other items--

base maps, General Survey maps, and miscellaneous printing--cost
$206, 697 for 4, 856, 535. The figure of $920, 475 is the actual printing
cost for the entire NIS Program in FY67 or about 6 cents per impression
(Table 1).
? C. Printing costs are fully comparable only when based on uniform
paper size and type content, similar preparation and processing, and
similar quantity and quality of product. The NIS format has approxi-
mately 5, 067 type characters per page, while Agency publications typed
on an 8" x 10 1/2" page for Multilith reproduction have only 1, 914
characters per page. Publications using IBM MTSC (Magnetic Tape
Selectric Composition), 2 columns with justified margins, have approx-
imately 3, 141 characters per page. It is clear, therefore, that the
NIS page contains about twice as many characters as the average of other
finished intelligence publications, and so should be expected to be about
double the cost. In addition, while the NIS in F'Y67 was keyboarded and
proofread by Printing Services Division, many publications to which it
is compared were keyboarded and proofread by the originating offices.
Were these other costs taken into consideration, the cost ratio of the
NIS to other finished intelligence would be nearer 2 to 1 than 6 to 1.
Normal NIS pressruns exclusive of the Factbook range from 325 to 450,
and page and image costs would be greatly reduced were pressruns as

large as those of some of the publications to which the NIS is being
compared. Finally, the booklike NIS with extensive tabular material,
moderate use of photographs, and numerous colored charts and maps is of
necessity more costly that straight text. Costs are not out of line in view
of the quality of work and the extra services provided through the extended
community use of widely distributed NIS maps.
D. The Printing Services Division review of NIS printing included
study of four alternative plans (Tables 2 and 3).. Plan A, printing
from typed Multilith mats would be least costly but would increase bulk
by about 200% and eliminate the use of color. Plan B, photo-offset
repr6duction from typed copy would increase bulk by about 100% to 150%
and would be more expensive than the present system. Plan C, a modified
EPIC system using paper galleys would be even more costly, would
increase bulk by about 50%, and would have no advantages over the
present system. All three plans would increase manpower needs in-ODGI.
Plan D, a full implementation of the existing EPIC system, based on
100% contributor-produced tape, is recommended. It would have the
advantages of least bulk for storage and shipping, availability of color,
next to lowest cost, and manpower requirements in line with present
staffing.
E. More detailed cost and other estimates underlying the above
broad conclusions are available on request.

FOUR PRINTING PLANS
1. PSD.provided four alternative plans for printing the NIS.
Plan A - Text and tables typed on mats and proofread by OBGI for
Multility reproduction. All graphics, including maps are
printed in black and white, no larger than 8" x 10 1/2".
Text single column, unjustified right margin. Overall
book size 8" x 10 1/2".
Plan B -? Text and tables typed and proofread by OBGI for photo-
offset reproduction with a 20% reduction. Limited use
of color. Graphics interspersed in text, and maps (full-
size) inserted loose in envelope. Text single column,
unjustified right margin. Overall book size 8" x 10 1/2".
Plan C - Text and tables typed and proofread by OB.GI.- Error-free
tapes are supplied PSD. Tapes are converted for casting
paper galleys on Photon. The galleys are cut and pasted
into pages by OBGI. Text double column, justified. right
margin. Graphics, including maps, black and white or in
color, are printed and bound in same manner as in present
system. Overall book size 9" x 12 1/8".

Plan D - Text formatted by computer program, and tapes drive the
Photon to provide page makeup (same as present EPIC).
Cost based on 100% customer tape concept. OBGI provides
PSD with error-free tape of text; tables are keyboarded by
PSD on monophoto equipment.. Text double column, justi-
fied right margin. Graphics, including maps, black and
white or in color, are printed and bound in same manner
as in present system. Overall book size 9" x 12 1/8".
2. Plans A. and B are basically similar. Plan A is very restrictive in
that it requires all maps and graphics to be printed black and white and
no larger than 8" x 10 1/2". Both plans have an unusually high manpower
requirement in OBGI. Plan C, a modified EPIC system should be avoided
because of its high relative cost ($1, 044, 593) and lack of apparent advan-
tages. Plan D (EPIC) is next to the lowest in printing cost and has the
lowest total manpower requirements (Table 3).
3. The IBM MTSC (Magnetic Tape Selectric Composition) system
(currently in use by OCI and OSI) was considered and discarded because
the only advantage it would have over Plan B would be justified right-hand
margins. Disadvantages would be the slowness of the system and high
manpower cost in OBGI.

IMPLICATIONS FOR DEFENSE-PRODUCED DETAILED NIS
A. Defense Intelligence Agency
1. ' Preliminary examination of the NIS User Survey by the Defense
Intelligence Agency showed that DIA-produced NIS sections ranged from
among the most used to the least used. Accordingly, in mid-June DIA
undertook a 2-month study of its role in the Program to examine
expenditure of resources, fulfillment of requirements, duplication of
and overlap with other products, and costs in comparison with expanded
automation of the sort of data analyzed and presented in the NIS.
2. O13GI examination of pertinent portions of the User Survey reveals
that DIA production includes not only sections that are clearly of broad
interdepartmental interest but also sections that are more departmental
in scope and of fairly restricted use. For example, OBGI has proposed
that the Upper Air Supplement should be reexamined as being relatively
narrow in its potential use; that future production of Section 36 (Merchant
Marine) and Section 37 (Civil Air) should be considered in terms of how
much open source material is available on those topics in Lloyd's
publications and the Official Airline Guide; that Section 22 (Coasts and
Landing Beaches) might be better produced as a departmental publication;
and that Section 23S (Supplement on Meteorological Organization and
Facilities) might be more useful if recombined. with Section 23 (Weather
and Climate) and issued for Official Use Only. These possibilities have

been briefly discussed with DIA representatives and will be explored
in detail during that Agency's survey of its NIS production.
B. Navy
1.. Discussions between OBGI and Navy/DIA personnel were held
in late June regarding changes in three NIS sections on Marine. Climate
and Oceanography; the following recommendations were agreed to in
principle and will be examined in terms of production feasibility:'
a. The usefulness of NIS oceanographic coverage would be
increased by expanding the Section 2 (Oceanography) to cover
topics of interest to nonmilitary users; topics to be added would
include mining and petroleum geology and potential, food from the
sea, and pollution.
b. Section 2 (Oceanography) would be limited to unclassified
information to permit widest possible dissemination. The normally
small calssified portion of Section 2 would be presented in a
supplement.
c. Section 3 (Effects of Marine Climate and Oceanography on
Military Operations) would be discontinued, with essential portions
being transferred to Section 2 or to the classified, supplement.
d. The number and size of graphics in Section 2 and its supple-
ment would be reduced without lessening utility.

e. Navy would change to the "scribing" method of graphic
production, which should substantially reduce Navy's costs and
