MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Secretary, CIA Management
Committee
THROUGH Deputy Director for Management and Services
SUBJECT The CIA Historical Program, 1 January - 15 June
1973
Summary
1. The refocusing of the CIA Historical Program on
Agency support of US policy in international crises is
now well under way, as the earlier, catching up phase
nears completion. In the new, topical program, work or.
the history of CIA and the Bay of Pigs is more than half
completed, research on CIA and Vietnam is being pursued
.with vigor, work is soon to be initiated on the history
of a major technical collection program, and the search
continues for a writer qualified to undertake the writing
of CIA in Laos. Completion of the catching up phase has
also proceeded agressively, with the publication of 17
histories during the present reporting period. Ninety-
four percent of the scheduled histories in the catching
up program have now been published or are nearing publi-
cation. Strong measures have been ta3cen to cancel or
suspend scheduled histories for which writers were lacking
or which on further review appeared insufficiently important
to merit attention at this dime. Considerable assistance
was given during the period of this report to the President's
declassification program, particularly to the review of
documents selected by the Department of State for publication
in Foreign Relations of the United States.
Present Status
2. To complete this report by 30 June, when the present
Chief of the Historical Staff is scheduled to retire from
the Agency, production data are being provided through 15
June 1973. By this closing date, 291 histories had been
published in the CIA Historical Program and 56 others had
been completed in draft and were being reviewed, edited,
revised, or typed for publication. Thus a total of 347
histories, or 94 percent of those now in the program,
were either published or in an advanced state of preparation,
compared with only 89 percent at the end of calendar year
1972, as shown in the following tabulation (derived from
data in Tables l and 2):

3. Measured by the test employed in the previous paragraph,
performance in the directorates was paced by the DD/S&T, which
has published or completed in draft all of its scheduled
histories, followed by the DD/M&S, DDO, and DDI, in that
order, as indicated below:
DD/S&T DD/M&S DDO DDI Overall Total
Percent Publishes/or Nearing 100
Publication-
a. For the purpose of this report, the composition of the
directorates is assumed to be that of the beginning of the
reporting period.
It is expected that all of the DD/S&T histories will have been
published by 30 June. In the DD/M&S all histories are now
in draft except the history of Air America, which was begun
relatively recently; except for this history, about 85
percent of the DD/M&S histories have been published and
most of the remainder are in the last stages of revision or n
typing for publication. The DDO is rapidly phasing out
its catching up program, which has been the most extensive _
of all the directorates. By cancelling or suspending histories
not making progress, the DDO has now narrowed its backlog to
a small number of projects, most of which are in final typing
or otherwise nearing publication. Comparable progress is
also being made in completing the remaining projects of the
DDI, a number of which are expected to be published soon
after 30 June.
4. Progress towards completion of the catching up phase
of the program was facilitated by the net deletion of 17
histories in 1973, through cancellation or suspension. Of
the 78 unpublished histories remaining in the program, drafts
have been finished of 56, while another 19 are partially
drafted, as demonstrated by the following numbers:

These numbers emphasize the continued progress made during
the last six months in publishing previously drafted histories
and in purging from the program histories that were stalled
for one reason or another.
5. Of the 56 histories now in draft, 22 are in the
Historical Staff for processing, including 10 in review or
editing and 12 in final typing for publication. Eight
completed histories are awaiting component signature for
publication; some of these may be published before 30 June.
The final processing of papers in hand or soon to be received
is expected to continue to require editorial and clerical
support at approximately the present levels through Fiscal
Year 1974.
6. As the catching up program has been phasing out,
the number of writers assigned on a full-or part-time basis,
which peaked at 191 at the end of 1970, has fallen dramatically, --
to 81 on 31 December 1972, and 42 at the present time. The
decline in the deployment of writers by directorate is shown
in the following tabulation:

Only 19 of the 42 were assigned full time; 21 were assigned
part time; and two, though assigned, were inactive in the
program, either because their manuscripts were in review,
editing, or final typing, or because they had been temporarily
assigned to other work. As in the past the "softest" of these
numbers is that for part-time writers, most of whom carry their
historical writing assignments in addition to other duties,
and are thus able to work only intermittently. (For more
complete data on writers by directorate and type of assignment
See Table 4.')
7. Of the 42 writers currently assigned to the program
29 are staff employees, four are contract employees, and only
nine are contract annuitants. Five of the nine contracts
expire or lapse on,30 June; thus contract annuitants will
comprise a nominal part of the writing cadre after that date.
(Contract annuitants and their projects are identified by
component in Table 3.)
Overall Projects
8. As previously reported, the history entitled Walter
Bedell Smith as Director. of Central Intelligence, by the late
Ludwell Lee Montague, published at the end of 1971, continues
to be in demand among historical writers and to receive

favorable comment. The final typing of the comparable
history, Allen W. Dulles as Director of Central Intelli ence, '
in five volumes, is virtually completed. It
is expected that this wor wi e published within the next
few weeks. The undersigned and Sherman Kent have now completed
the review of John A McCone as Director of Central Intelligence,
by Walter Elder, and have provided Mr. Elder with comments
and suggestions. Written primarily from memoranda for the record
generated by Mr. McCone, this history provides a unique account
of McCone's relationship while DCI with Presidents Kennedy and
Johnson and with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of
Defense. Additional work will be required on this manuscript
to provide the historical background required by most readers,
the continuity of topical treatment, and situation summaries
before it cari be published as a finished history.
9. The history of the Inspector General`s Office, by
has been reviewed by the Historical Staff and
which was initiated in the former DDS, has been published as
an Agency-wide history in the DCI Historical Series. This
study was reviewed before publication by Colonel Lawrence K.
White,. who commended it for its potential utility to future
building planners. The history of the NIPE Staff, by John
Bross, which presents authoritative insights into problems of
community coordination, is in the final stages of documentation,
before undergoing editing for publication; a brief history of

The DDI Program
13. By 15 June the DDI had published 30 of the 49
scheduled histories and had 11 more in draft, which together
account for 84 percent of its scheduled projects. Except
for the final chapters of three office histories, the DDI
has now published or completed in draft, histories of almost
all of its major components. Although nominally office
histories, they are primarily histories of the activities of the
DDI components. Thus the history of the?Office of Research and
Reports, the predecessor of the Office of Economic Research,
is essentially a history of the development of economic
intelligence, a generalization which applies to the subject
matter of the histories of the National Photographic Inter-
pretation Center and the Office of Strategic Research.
The DDO Program
14. The DDO has published 193 histories, in a program
that once consisted of more than 300 projects reduced by one-
fourth through stringent rescheduling. Twenty-six of the
remaining 35 projects are in draft and nearing publication, and
11 of the 26 are in final typing or are ready for final typing.,
This program, about 60 percent of which consisted of station
histories, is now down to only seven full and three part-time
writers, and is being rapidly phased out. The eight histories

The DD/M&S
15. The DD/M&S has published 59 of the 70 histories
scheduled and has completed drafts of 10 others which are
nearing publication. All writing originally scheduled in the
DDS program has been finished except for the history of Air
America, a project begun in the last year, which is regarded
as a part of the ongoing rather than the catching up program.
The Missing in Action history is being revised per the
suggestion of the Historical Staff, to treat more adequately
the Fecteau/Downey story. Essentially, however, the historical
programs of the major offices o,f the DD/M&S -- Security,
Logistics, Training, Communications, Finance, and Personnel --
are all complete or ver close to final publication. With
the assistance of a versatile contract annuitant,
the once-lagging program of the Office of Medical Services,
has also been brought to the verge of completion. 25X1

Annual Historical Re orts
18. OPPB is coordinating the second cycle of annual
component histories, in connection with the call for contri-
butions to the CIA Annual Report. It is expected that the
Agency-wide effort to develop component objectives will provide
more satisfactory guidelines to the components in the preparation
of their annual reports than did the skeleton outline of the Agency
Report, in previous years. Responses should be monitored by the
Historical Staff to determine whether the new annual reports are
in fact eliminating the need for component histories. Attention
should also be given?to the filling of the gap between the
concluding dates of component histories written under the
catching up program and the initiation of the series of annual
component reports.
Declassification Review
19. During the last }calf year the CIA Historical Staff
has continued to support the Special Assistant for Information
Control in the classification review of historical documents
under Executive Order 11652, principally in connection with
the review of documents proposed for publication by the Depart-
ment of State in the Foreign Relations of the United States.

This responsibility,:.,,,is.being absorbed by the SAIC and his staff.
To date, Agency participation has consisted of reviewing documents
identified by State as of possible intelligence concern. This
procedure does not adequately provide for the fulfillment of the
DCI's commitment to the protection of sources and methods, and
cannot unless CIA reviews the full text of the documents which
State proposes to publish. Review of this quantity of material,
estimated at 5,000 to 6,000 pages per year would require approxi-
mately one man-year of a knowledgeable senior officer.
The Ongoing, Topical Program
20. Considerable uncertainty exists in many parts of the
Agency on future plans for the Historical Program, particularly
in view of its recent transfer to the DD/M&S. It is important
that the character of these plans be clarified for supervisory
personnel throughout the Agency in order that the new Chief may
be able to elicit the broad support needed to complete the
Agency-wide projects that are contemplated. The need for such
clarification extends to the scope and purpose of the program,
its topical nature, the location of primary responsibility for
the production of histories, the requirement for access to
records, provision for continued self-initiation of historical
projects by components, and assurance that self-initiated
histories will receive professional guidance and review from
the Historical Staff.

major part of the DDI Historical Program. Three writers are
still working on the final chapters of their office histories.
Except for those chapters., however, drafts have been completed
.for all the overall office histories.. In addition, monographs
covering a wide variety of activities have been published or
?are nearing completion. The number of published histories now
stands at 30 out of a total program of 49. Of the remaining
19 papers currently scheduled, 3 are in final typing and will
soon be ready for. publication. Only two are less than half
finished.

9. OSR has completed a draft of its history of Strategic
Intelligence in CIA and submitted it to a variety of readers,
including the DDI Historical Officer, for review. It contains
substantive discussions of CIA's role in resolving the "bombe'r
gap" and "missile .gap" issues, together with a broader treatment
of other developments leading up to the creation of OSR.
10. In sum, the "catching up period" of history writing
has, in the DDI area, succeeded in providing basic coverage
of the development of virtually all of the major components
in the Directorate. Office histories will soon be available
for all units except 00, OBGI, and IAS. In the case of the
first two, nearly all the major activities of the office will
have been covered by individual monographs. IAS, on the other
hand, is still too young to be a proper subject for history.
The total output of .the program surveys a group of operations
that were innovative, reasonably efficient, and contributory
to the overall development of CIA during its formative years.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Historical Staff
SUBJECT Status of DD/M&S Historical Program
through 15 June 1973
GENERAL
1. During the period in review, the DD/M&S historical
program achieved al~tiost 85 percent completion -- 59 of the 70
histories planned have'--been published (see,Aztachments A and C).
Of the 11 histories still outstanding, the two OTR volumes.
may be authorized for publication in the near future; and of
the remaining nine, all but the Air America story (which was
not a part of the catching up program) are either in final
revision or in final typing. Fourteen histories of support
activities or elements have been disseminated thus far in
Fiscal Year 1973, including five volumes published between
l.January and 15 June 1973.
2. The scheduled programs for both the Office of Logis-
tics and the Office of Security have been completed. The
status of the other components is as follows:
a. DD/M&S -- Originally considered for publication
in the Directorate series of histories the Planning and Construc-
tion of the Agency Headquarters Building will now be published as
one of the DCI series of histories. Colonel White's review, was
very favorable and final co ies of the report will be disseminated
before 30 June 1973. is continuing research on
the Air America. history, but no date for completion can be
estimated at this time.
b. Communications -- The Cable Secretariat history
is in final review in the Historical Staff and no major problems
are apparent. The paper probably will be returned to the com-
ponent for clean up and final typing in July 1973.
? c. Finance -- the overview history of the Office of
Finance is being revised and will be returned to the Historical
Staff by the end of F?Y "' 73.
d. Medical Services -- Four histories are outstanding,
but three of these are presently in final typing; and the
revised version of the fourth paper also is being typed prior
to being resubmitted to the Historical Staff.
e. Personnel -- Both the Missing in Action and
-Honor and Merit Awards histories are. being revised in accord-
ance with, suggestions that have been made by the Historical
Staff. Neither paper, however, will be completed before the
end of FY '73.

f. Training -- The: Junior Officer Training Program
and we're forwarded for signature of the DTR many
mont s ago, ut as yet they Have not been signed. Now OTR
apparently plans to sign off on the histories with the proviso
that their disclaimers are. included with the disseminated
versions of the histories -~- a sugges:ti.on I.made to OTR on
previous. occasions. In any event it is unlikely that either
report will be published prior to the end of FY '73.
employees are:
a.~ who, except for a brief inter-
ruption to revise the Cable Secretariat history, has. been
working full time for the past six months on OMS histories.
3. As FY '73 comes to a close, there are six staff
employees working part time and three contract annuitants
working full time as historical writers. The contract
efforts are, in fact, the principal reason for
t .e progress in the OP~ZS program. His contract expires
30 June 1973.
b. is doing a fine job as full time
writer for the Office of Personnel, and he is revising the
Mis-sing in Action history. He fully understands the sensitivity
of the. problems presented by tre release of Richard Fecteau and
John Downey, but h.e also realizes that the details of their
stories must be incorporated into the history. As I recall,.
Jim's contract runs through September 1973.
c.' spent about two months in the
Far East doing research. on Air America, and he is'currently
drafting the first chapter. I do not know if he has been given
a deadline date by DD/M&S. His contract expires 30 June 1973,
but he reports. that it is being considered for extension.
4. Assuming that progress on the yet to be published
DD/M&S histories. will be as noted in the preceding paragraphs,
completion of the catching up phase of the program is assured.
There are, however, several aspects of the historical program
to which I think the DD/M&S should devote serious thought:
a. Conscious effort should be made to insure that
the completed support histories are put to more practical use.
Considering the time.and effort devoted to the program and the
many useful lessons which have been recorded, both senior and
junior personnel could profit by browsing through the completed
volumes. In fact, I think that the Directorate would do well
to publicize the list of completed volumes.-- the Management
Bulletin (or whatever the monthly poop sheet for the Directorate
is called) would be one vehicle for doing this.
b. The Directorate should take positive steps to
insure that upon th.e termination of any given assignment
(domestic or foreign). senior support officers are made respon-
sible for preparing a written record of their tour. Obviously.
this would include anyone serving as a Chief of Support for a
Division or an activity, but the requirement should not be

I: would b.e quite willing to v?ork wth.DD/M&S' to develop an
outline for such reporting.
c. Having now had the historical exposure, the
senior personnel of the Directorate s:iould be alert to the
need for preservation of documents of historical value.' Hope-
fully if there are any questions about the value of retaining
given documents or records, DD/M&S personnel will call on the
Historical Staff.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, CIA Historical Staff
SUBJECT . The DDO Historical Program Status Report
Developments:
1. As of this writing 193 historical papers have been
published in the Clandestine Service/DDO historical program,
eight of them since 1 January 1973. The papers published
during the current calendar year represent a total of 19 volumes.
Two additional papers have been typed in final form and are
awaiting component chief approval. Three papers are in final
typing in the historical staff and an additional 11 papers
are on hand, in final editing or awaiting typing. Some 13
papers are completed and being reviewed in the components
before submission to the staff, or are nearing completion.
Changes:
1. On 30 May 1973 papers carried previously in the
CS/DDO historical program which had been started, or had
;been started but lacked writers, and those on which no visible
progress had been made. over the past year or two (involving
"part-time" writers) were suspended from the program. A few
of the completed drafts ri~ay not meet component or historical
staff approval; these will also be suspended from the program
but will be retained by the components or the historical staff
as research. or reference aids.
2. During the remaining six months of 1973, two part-time
and four full-time writers,-all of them on cr~ntract, will be
working on DD0 historical papers. By the end of 1973 probably
five of the contracts. will have expired and the incumbents
terminated whether or not their papers have been completed.
One writer?s contract expires June 1974. There is a good
probability that at least three of the papers on which these
writers are working will be delivered in acceptable form.
Plans:
1. During FY 1974 the DDO will undertake to maintain the
editorial and typing personnel assigned to the directorate
historical program at its' current strength. Papers will be
processed in order of their quality and substance. If any
draft papers remain unprocessed at the end of the fiscal year,
they will most probably be of marginal ,nature, and, if so,
will be suspended from the .program.
