MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director-Comptroller
SUBJECT The CIA Historical Program, FY 1972
July - December 1971
1. On 31 December 1971, the catching up phase of
the CIA Historical Program officially came to an end.
This date was set by Colonel White in his memorandum of
9 December 1969 to the Deputy Directors and Heads of
Independent Offices. It gave notice sufficiently far
in advance for the components to have completed almost
all of the program. As the termination date arrived,
however, only about three-fourths of the program had
been accomplished. Measured more precisely, 72 percent
of the scheduled histories were either published or
completed in draft and undergoing review, revision, or
final typing for publication. In absolute terms, 236
histories were published from the beginning of the
program, in 1964.
2. All things considered, including the very
large size of the program as originally conceived, the
modest allocation of resources to its achievement, its
dependence principally on non-historians for research
and writing, and the routine priority which it was accorded,
the accomplishment as a whole has been highly creditable.
As might be expected, performance varied. Many excellent
histories were produced; others were less good. The
percentage of completion has been greatest for the Support
Directorate and lowest in the Clandestine Service, al-
though that Directorate has published more histories than
all of the other Directorates combined. Despite these
limitations the program has made great strides towards
the elimination of the more-than-20-year gap in the
history of the Agency, the consolidation of the historical
record, and the establishment of a historical base. This
base is capped by three comprehensive histories of the
administrations of DCI's Smith, Dulles, and McCone, the
first published, the second in editorial review, and the
third being completed in draft. Below this keystone
level, histories of the Directorates and the Independent
Offices are in various stages of completion. At the base
is a foundation comprised chiefly of office histories,
because this is the type of history which most appeals
to the components, but interlarded not infrequently, even
in the catching up period, with topical histories and
accounts of the Agency response to particular crises.
The near completion of the catching up phase of the program
now makes it possible to identify the gaps in the written
record and to fill them with histories of major operations,
activities, and other key undertakings in which the Agency
has been involved, and with which it is associated in the
public mind.

3. In the program as a whole, accomplishment
during the final year of the catching up period was
substantial. Forty-nine histories were published in
1971, 29 of them in the last six months of the year,
which raised the total achievement to 236 published
histories, as noted above, or 52 percent of the 456
histories now in the program, as shown in the follow-
ing tabulation:

31 December 1971 31 December 1970
Number Percent Number Percent
Published to Date 236 52 187 40

From the above tabulation it will be noted that 12
histories were deleted from the program during 1971,
either because on further review they were deemed not
to merit separate treatment, or because they were re-
scheduled as sections of more comprehensive accounts,
or by the consolidation of projects on related topics
in order to minimize duplication of effort.
4. Although a large number of histories remained
unfinished at the end of the catching up period, there
has been good progress in the program as a whole in
moving these histories close to completion, as is shown
by comparison of the work currently scheduled (end of
1971) with that scheduled at the close of 1970, in the
tabulation that appears below:

From this tabulation it is seen that, of the unpublished
part of the program, 92 histories have been completed
in draft and are in review, revision, or being typed
for publication. These projects account for 42 percent
of the unfinished histories and attest to the fact that
 Approved For Release 2006/11117: CIA-RDP84-00022R000100070001-6
SECRET
the program as a whole is advancing significantly
towards completion. A year ago only 65 completed
drafts were in hand and constituted only 23 percent
of the remaining work. The tabulation also shows
that 72 percent of the remaining projects have been
either partially or completely drafted, compared
with only 46 percent a year ago. Likewise, the number
of projects not yet begun has declined from 102 a
year ago to 38 at the present time, or from 36 to 17
percent of the unfinished histories. Examination of
these data thus makes it very clear that the major
activity in the program has progressed from research
and drafting to the completion of drafts and the proc-
essing of finished drafts for publication. As will
be recollected from earlier progress reports, strong
efforts were made by the Historical Staff to schedule
completions well enough in advance of the end of the
catching up period to avert a bottleneck in the proc-
essing of histories for publication. Slippages
throughout the Agency have nevertheless resulted in
a sharp increase in the number of projects received
for review, editing, and in some cases final typing
by the Historical Staff in the latter half of 1971.
As of the end of January 1972 somewhat more than 40
percent of all the completed drafts were in the His-
torical Staff for processing. These manuscripts are
being reviewed and edited as expeditiously as is
consistent with the maintenance of quality standards.
Because the Staff is minimal in size it is therefore
experiencing a massive peaking of workload.
..5. In the Overall part of the Historical Program,
which includes the histories of the DCI's, the Office
of the DCI, the DCI Area, and the histories of the
Directorates, progress has been definite but uneven.
The history of General Walter Bedell Smith as Director
of Central Intelligence, in five volumes, by Ludwell
Lee Montague, was published shortly before 1971 drew
to a close. This history is distinguished by the
brilliance of its insights into General Smith's con-
tribution to the development of the Agency as well
as by its felicity of expression. It is expected to
acquire a place in CIA history comparable to that of
Arthur Darling's earlier history of the founding of
the Agency, completed in 1953. At the end of 1971,
finished the draft of his history of
the Agency under the Directorship of Allen W. Dulles,
and Walter Elder was putting the finishing touches
on his draft of the Agency during the Directorship
of John M. McCone. Besides shepherding the completion
of these histories, the Historical Staff also published
late in 1971 four-volume SIGINT
in the Central Intelligence Agency, now on the desk
of the DDI for signature. This history will probably
become the standard reference work for historical
questions relating to SIGINT activities of the Agency
as a whole and to the role of the Agency in the SIGINT
community. Only the two histories mentioned above
have been published thus far in the overall part of
the program, but during the last six months the number
of completed drafts increased from five to nine, which

 Approved For Release 2006/1 8tmff P84-00022R000100070001-6
brings the number of these histories published or in
completed draft to just under half of the 24 histories
scheduled. Four of the remaining histories have been
partly drafted, but four remain on which no work has
yet begun. For one of those, the history of CIA sup-
port to the War in Vietnam, Elmer Hintz, a recent re-
tiree from the SAVA Staff, has just been named as the
writer, under contract. It is also important that
writers be found for the history of Agency relations
with the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory
Board (PFIAB) and the Office of National Estimates.
Progress on a number of the Overall histories is
slow because some individuals have been assigned to
write history in addition to other duties. Memorandums
on the status of each of the Overall histories are
attached to this report (Annex A).
6. The Deputy Directorate for Plans, which has
initiated 298 histories, or almost two histories of
every three in the CIA Historical Program, has published
170 histories to the end of 1971, 15 during the year.
Including some 32 histories completed in draft, the
CS has either published or completed in draft about
two-thirds of its scheduled histories. As of 28 Janu-
ary 1972, the CS Historical Officer had in hand 20
histories completed in draft for review, revision,
editing, and final typing. Catching up with this large
backlog of work is expected to occupy his-small staff
(mostly provided by the CS) well into FY 1973. The CS
is making good progress on many of its unfinished his-
tories, but its program has been very ambitious and
includes a large number of station histories. Attrition
of CS personnel has slowed its historical production
during 1971 and has left the CS with 34 histories
which have not yet been begun, chiefly for the lack
of writers (compared with only five projects not yet
begun in all the rest of the Agency). As of the end
of 1971, 34 full-time and 15 part-time writers were
active in the CS part of the program. Because of
reductions in staff it is expected that the CS may have
difficulty in continuing to support as large a historical
program as in the past. A number of CS components have
indicated that they might have to suspend historical
activity completely unless other arrangements can be
made to continue it such as by the use of annuitants.
In 1971 completed the draft of his History
of OPC, which is now being edited in the Historical Staff,
and completed a draft of her History
of OSO through 1947, which is undergoing review. Histories
published by the CS in the second half of 1971 include

Notable progress has been made by the Soviet Bloc Divi-
sion, which has either published or completed the drafts
of all but one of its 19 histories. AF, WH, FE, and SO

Divisions continue intensive work in an effort to
complete their very large programs during the cur-
rent fiscal year. NE Division and TSD have made
minimal progress.
7. The DDI has published 22 histories and com-
pleted 18 more in draft, so that it can be said that
almost three-fourths of its historical program of
54 projects is at or near completion. Writing is
under way on most of the rest of the projects and
drafts of most of the longer office histories (OER,
OSR, and OCI) are expected to be completed by the
end of the current fiscal year or sooner. Almost
half of the DDI projects consist of historical mono-
graphs initiated at the insistence of the former
Director of OBGI, who maintained that he could more
easily spare a small amount of time from a number of
senior officers than he could budget the time needed
to write an office history. In consequence, OBGI
has published some eight excellent monographs and
has 10 more in various stages of completion. The
product is highly professional but the intensity is
much greater than would have been required by an
office history and the input has no doubt also been
larger. Apart from OBGI the DDI effort is on the
whole characterized by longer studies, which, while
they appear from their titles to be office histories,
in fact emphasize the major activities of.the offices
responsible for the development of economic intelli-
gence, military-economic estimating, and photographic
reconnaissance, to name a few. The DDI has also com-
pleted the draft of a history of the Directorate from
its creation in 1952 to 1966. Review of this manu-
script by the Chief and Deputy Chief of the Historical
Staff disclosed that it was excessively personal in
nature and gave insufficient attention to the major
concerns and activities of the Directorate, the leader-
ship provided by the Deputy Directors to their components,
and the role of the Deputy Directors in the Agency and
the community. With the concurrence of the present
DDI, this project was reassigned to
(formerly a division chief in OBGI) for revision and
redrafting. The present DDI has also sponsored a very
timely historical review of the monitoring by the intel-
ligence community of the 1970 Middle East cease-fire.
This historical postmortem is now in final typing for
single-copy publication. It reveals in a very striking
manner the insights into a complex topical situation
which can be obtained and preserved from a review when
memories are still fresh and the pertinent documents
are available. This sensitive history could be of
considerable operational use to senior management.
8. The DDS, with the second largest Historical
Program, had published or completed 90 percent of its
80 historical projects by the end of the catching up
period. Of this number, 41 histories have been pub-
lished, 26 of them in 1971. Of the 39 remaining pro-
jects, drafts of 31 have been completed. This is a
remarkable achievement, particularly considering the
 Approved For Release 2006/11/17: CIA-RDP84-00022R000100070001-6
SECRET
specialized, primarily operational orientation of
most DDS components, and reflects both the strong
support given to the Historical Program by DDS
management and the hard-working effectiveness of
the DDS Historical Officer.
During the past year DDS projects have been com-
pleted in draft more rapidly than the Historical
Staff has been able to process them; there are at
present 13 DDS projects in the Staff for review and
editing. It is expected that this backlog will be
largely eliminated before the end of FY 1972, by
which time the DDS should have virtually completed
its part of the catching up program. Included among
the histories published by the DDS in the last six
months are an overview of the history of the Office
of Security, four regional histories of the field
activities of the Office of Communications, histories
of fitness reporting and of recruiting, and histories
of OTR's Intelligence and Operations Schools. This
press of activity has prevented from
doing any writing on the Overall history of the DDS,
to which he is also assigned, but with the help of
a senior support officer on
temporary detail pending reassignment, an extensive
search has been made of DDS records for use in this
history.
9. The DD/S&T scheduled a smaller Historical
Program than that of any other part of the Agency,
only eight projects, partly because it is the newest
of the Directorates and partly to consolidate its
historical writing into component histories. Of
the eight projects, one has been published, the very
fine history of the U-2 ro'ect as embodied in the
history of OSA, by the able and
productive DD/S&T Historical Officer. All but one
of the other seven DD/S&T projects have been completed
in draft, however, including a history-of the estab-
lishment of the Directorate and its operation under
Messrs. Scoville, Wheelon, and Duckett. This history,
by is now in final review. It should
be possible to publish most of these DD/S&T histories
before the end of FY 1972.
10. Work continues throughout the Agency on the
histories not completed during the catching up period.
Histories already in draft will be reviewed, revised
as necessary, and when brought to acceptable standards,
published. It is expected that histories on which
research has been begun will be completed and processed
as are those now in draft. Projects on which little or
no work has been done will be re-considered as plans
are made for the ongoing Historical Program. In this
process the Historical Staff and the appropriate Histor-
ical Boards will determine whether carryover projects
should be reauthenticated or whether the effort can
better be devoted to other historical projects.
11. The concentration of project completions at
the end of the catching up period, as noted in para-
graph 4 above, is creating a bottleneck of some propor-
tion in the Historical Staff, which at the end of
 Approved For Release 2006/11/17: CIA-RDP84-00022R000100070001-6
SECRET
January 1972 had 43 histories in hand for review,
editing, and final processing. The early experience
of the Staff made it very clear that expert review
outside of that conducted by the producing component
is an indispensable prerequisite to the maintenance
of quality standards in the Historical Program, compar-
able to the level of excellence which the Agency has
attained in its other work. At present, histories are
reviewed first in the office of origin and then (some-
times concurrently) by the Directorate Historical
Officer on behalf of the Directorate and
the
Historical
Staff. Most histories are also reviewed
by
the Chief
or Deputy Chief of the Historical Staff.
In
the DDI
it is standard procedure for a member of
the
Historical
Board other than the member from the originating office
to review each history from that Directorate. In these
reviews attention is given to accuracy, consistency,
emphasis, organization, clarity, judgment, and other
relevant factors. Particular stress is given to the
accuracy of information on the position of the component
or activity in the Agency as a whole, since experience
has shown that component historians are less knowledge-
able on these matters than on events internal to their
unit. The histories are also read by professional editors
attached to the Historical Staff (or provided by the DDP)
for technical matters such as errors in English and for
consistency of format. Components generally type their
own histories, using the Style Manual provided by the
Historical Staff, except that the Staff types the DCI
histories. Personnel provided by the DDP type the
histories of the Clandestine Service, working in the
offices of the Historical Staff. Reviewing, revising,
substantive and copy editing, and typing constitute most
of the workload of the Historical Staff, on a continuing
basis.
12. This workload has been especially heavy during
the last year of the catching up phase and will continue
to be heavy until the present backlog of work is digested
and the unfinished carryover has been processed. No
permanent augmentation of the Historical Staff has been
made to cope with this massive flow of work. The Staff
proper has only one professional editor. Two annuitants
provide supplementary professional editing support during
the present peak work period. The DDP has similarly made
temporary arrangements for editorial support to its part
of the program. It is essential that this supplementary
editorial assistance be continued until the holdover work
from the catching up period has been finally processed.
A Historical Officer for the DCI Area is also needed to
give guidance and direction to writers in the Overall
program, to review and edit manuscripts substantively,
to assist in planning the ongoing program, and if time
permits, to write one of the histories. The Overall
histories are now reviewed by the Chief and Deputy Chief,
in addition to their other duties. Because they are so
fully occupied in reviewing histories, they have insuf-
ficient time to provide guidance to writers and to give
thought to the planning of the program as a whole. Since
the CS Historical Officer has never been a historian,
but primarily a manager of that large effort, it is im-
portant that he have the support in the substantive
editing of manuscripts of an Assistant Historical Officer
who is a historian by training and experience.

13. Some observations on the experience gained
in the management of the Historical Program during
the catching up period are appropriate as the Agency
moves into the ongoing historical activity. Although
these thoughts are not presented as lessons learned
from the writing of history, they are set down as
considerations to be taken into account in planning
the future Historical Program. The catching up program
was much too large; it made too great a drain on com-
ponent resources. A defense for the scheduling of so
many histories was that little or no history had been
written for some 20 years. Be that as it may, the
program was not sufficiently selective and gave ex-
cessive emphasis to office histories, which in turn
were frequently conceived as structural and organizational
accounts, rather than as studies of what the components
did. Despite its size, the program was diffused and
did not always give adequate attention to important
activities. In general the excessive number of histories
and the lack of sharp focus resulted from the program
having been conceived by non-historians and accepted
without critical review by the non-professional Histor-
ical Staff which then existed. Now that a historical
base has been established, future programming should be
more selective, should concentrate to a much greater
extent on the history of significant Agency activities
and programs, and should emphasize the work done in
support of policy makers and reactions to crisis situ-
ations. The ongoing program should concern itself
mostly with the history of the Agency after 1965 but,
where really significant gaps remain in the history
before-.that date, these should be filled.
14. In the ongoing Historical Program it should
be recognized that, as in any other type of research
program which continues over a period of time, errors
in planning, in choosing personnel, and in monitoring
performance may result in costly delays and expensive
reprocessing. It is difficult and costly to bring up
to acceptable quality a badly researched and poorly writ-
ten history. It is therefore a high risk to assign to
the writing of history persons unfamiliar with research
techniques and incapable of writing reasonably well.
It is understandable that the ablest people are in
short supply for priority programs. It should also
be recognized that the temporary assignment of a person
of superior competence to write the history of a com-
pleted activity, such as the work of a recent task force,
can have excellent career training value in assisting
that individual to assimilate and evaluate the activity.
Such an experience can help to mature a career officer
and qualify him for increasing responsibilities. For
the reasons given above, all assignments of writers to
historical projects should be screened carefully for
ability to do the job, whether they are on detail be-
tween other assignments, on terminal assignment before
retirement, or annuitants brought back as independent
contractors. If the program continues to depend on
experienced Agency personnel rather than on trained
historians for most of the historical writing, then it

is also important that arrangements be made for the
Historical Staff to provide these writers with pro-
fessional guidance from the inception of their proj-
ects to their completion. Like care in the selection
of people, the provision of guidance during the writing
of histories is essential to the efficient operation
of a quality program.
15. Experience with the catching up program also
suggests the need for more attention to the creation
of a historical record as events take place; greater
consideration to the preservation of basic historical
records; more care in the selection of component
historical officers; more critical review of draft
histories in the components of origin; appointments to
historical boards of members who will (as in the DDI)
participate in the reading of draft histories; and a
greater effort to assign writers to the writing of
history on a full-time basis instead of in addition to
their other duties. It is not suggested that the
ongoing Historical Program be a large and expanding
activity. Since Agency resources are scarce, it is
advised that the size of the effort be contained within
modest proportions and that the quality be elevated to
a standard of professional excellence comparable to
that maintained by the Agency in the programs that have
established its reputation in the intelligence community.
The Agency should not sponsor the writing-of history
for nostalgic or romantic reasons; nor should it sponsor
the writing of mere chronicles. The history it produces
should be of such quality and relevance as to contribute
to the effectiveness with which the Agency is operated.
ta-
evident that to eliminate this uncertainty an author
tive statement is required which will make clear that
there is an ongoing program, which will define the
objectives and scope of this program, and which will
insure that the components provide writers for it.
17. The ongoing program has certain advantages
over the earlier or catching up program, in that it
can be planned for execution over a period of years,
and need not be developed in full detail in advance.
16. Planning for the ongoing Historical Program
began in the spring of 1971 and has continued to the
present, in discussions with Staff members, members of
historical boards, historical officers in the components,
office chiefs, their staffs, and others. There was some
discussion with the retiring and incoming Executive
Director-Comptrollers. From these discussions there
emerged a general consensus that the ongoing program
should be smaller and more selective and that it should
give less emphasis to office and station histories, in
order to accentuate operations and activities and the
role of CIA in the intelligence community and in the
implementation of US foreign policy. In these talks it
appeared that some components thought that the writing
of history was to terminate at the end of the catching
up period. Others, particularly in the CS, continued
to express a strong interest in station histories, and
are prepared to provide persons to write them. It is

A component that has recently produced an office
history of its activities to 1965, need not update
it before FY 73 or FY 74, and if the history stopped
at 1970, the component has several years before it
need start on a continuation. In the interim period
the component can give attention to short, selective
histories of major support activities in which it has
participated, either in the recent past, or in earlier
periods, if they were of lasting significance and have
not yet been adequately recorded. By this approach a
variety of histories can be written by a smaller writing
force. Any history that is scheduled now for future
production is to be regarded as tentatively scheduled
and may be modified as to kind, and rescheduled, earlier
or later.
18. Since operations and activities are to be
stressed in the ongoing program, what should be done
when components insist on updating office or station
histories? If such components cannot be persuaded to
defer their office histories and stagger the scheduling
of their station histories, it is not advisable to exclude
such projects from the CIA Historical Program. Experience
has shown that such projects should receive at least some
guidance and review from the Historical Staff.
19. Until the Historical Staff developed and pub-
lished, in the form of research aids, its.Chronology and
its guide to Key Personnel Named in Agency Regulatory
Issuances, historical writers throughout the Agency
spent much time in establishing basic historical mile-
stones. Histories were inconsistent. The tenures of
DCI's and DDCI's were erroneously reported in the widely
circulated Blue Book, and errors appeared in the bronze
plaques which adorn the portraits of past Directors.
Publication of the aforementioned research aids by the
Historical Staff not only has saved the time of individual
writers but also has eliminated error, and elevated the
quality of the Historical Program. These aids are on
the whole concerned with subjects of Agency-wide interest,
and do not attempt to delve into details internal to the
operation of a component. There is thus a division of
labor between the detail that is researched by the com-
ponents and the basic framework affecting the relationship
of the component to the Agency, in which the Historical
Staff provides research support. Since the Historical
Staff Chronology covers the years 1946-65, consideration
should be given in the near future to issuing a supplement
for the years 1965-71. Key Personnel, published in 1970,
is still largely current, and its updating can be deferred
until writers begin to work in some numbers on projects
beyond 1970. At the present time the Historical Staff
has no personnel for the performance of either of these
tasks.
20., While the ongoing program, now being planned,
will give some attention to the history of components
and the filling of gaps in the earlier history, it is,
as already stated, intended to emphasize topical and
functional histories, particularly of major actions in
which the Agency has participated. Examples include its
role in Vietnam (a history just started last month), the
f

fall of Patrice Lumumba, the 1967 Arab-Israeli War,
the ouster of Sukarno from Indonesia, and the capture
of Che Guevara in Bolivia, to name a few topics now
under consideration. Where the involvement has included
numerous components, these topics can best be handled
on an all-Agency basis, by writers especially chosen
for the assignment and detailed directly to the Histor-
ical Staff. In these instances, guidance would be pro-
vided both by the Historical Staff and by the components
principally involved. We are particularly interested
in including in the program histories of actions recently
completed, where personnel, recollections, and records
are still at hand. The DDI project on Monitoring the
1970 Middle East Cease-Fire typifies this kind of study.
A similar study recentl ro osed by the CS would con-

OER has proposed a history of intelligence
support to policy makers in the recent monetary crises;
NPIC has suggested a review of the 1970 Cuban submarine
crisis; OF could write a composite history of its involve-
ment with crises in credit, taking into account inflation,
deflation, and revaluation in key posts abroad; and OL
has proposed a study of recent logistical support of
Southeast Asia operations, updating its earlier history
on the subject. Other possible OL projects that are
timely include a history of the adaptation of Agency
ordnance to changing operational requirements, and a
review of new management concepts and technology in the
Office of Logistics.
21. This report not only marks the official close
of the catching up period and the beginning of the on-
going, it also is the last report the CIA Historical
Staff will make of its activities for the period when
Colonel L. K. White was Executive Director-Comptroller
and directly in charge of the Historical Staff and the
Historical Program. From Colonel White the Program and
Staff drew moral support as well as sustenance. We can
not close this report without acknowledging the strong
backing and sympathetic understanding that Colonel White
gave the Historical Staff and Program and without which
there could have been no historical achievement, certainly
not one of the nature and magnitude of the present effort.
22. Attached as Annexes A through E are reports
on the status of the Overall program and the programs
in each of the Directorates. Also attached, as Annex F,
is a list of histories completed to the end of 1971,

SUBJECT The Overall Historical Program,
FY 1972, July - December 1971
1. The Overall part of the Historical Program has
been discussed briefly in the present report, in the memo-
randum on the program as a whole, paragraph 5. Two Overall
histories were published in the period under review, that
by Ludwell Lee Montague, General Walter Bedell Smith as
Director of Central Intelligence, and
SIGINT in the Central Intelligence Agency.
completed his draft of Allen W. Dulles as Director of
Central Intelligence and Walter Elder brought close to
completion his study of John A. McCone as DCI. Manuscripts
of eight other histories were in draft form at the close of
the year, including that of John A. Bross on NIPE,
n the Comptroller Function of PPB,
, an on the Directorate or Science
on
OPCl
and Technology. Four istories were partially drafted, five
were being researched, and four were not yet begun for want
of writers -- the role of CIA in Vietnam, PFIAB, the Office
of National Estimates, and the Directorate for Plans in the
Bissell Period. Since the close of the year, Elmer Hintz
has been named an independent contractor to begin work on
the part played by the Agency in Vietnamese affairs. These
histories are listed in the table that follows immediately
after this memorandum, as are also individual statements on
the different projects. The Overall program is not in bad
shape, but it does need writers and pressure on some authors
who have not yet progressed to the stage of writing.
2. In only one of the directorates has an Overall
history been completed -- in the DDS&T. A history is in
progress in the Directorate for Intelligence, but histories
are still lacking in the Directorates for Plans and for
Support. These are very serious gaps in the Historical Pro-
gram, although there is some justification for the situation
the DDS i view of the very complete involvement of Dr.
I Iin the DDS Historical Program.
3. In addition to writers for three histories -- PFIAB,
ONE, and the Bissell Period of the Directorate for Plans -- a
Historical officer is needed for the Overall program, corre-
sponding to the Historical Officer in each of the four Direc-
torates. This need was mentioned in the semiannual report to
the Executive Director-Comptroller for January-June 1971,
Overall portion, paragraph 10, and has been discussed with
Colonel L. K. White.

have been re-grouped to form two volumes: Volume I.
The Formative Years, 1952-1954 and Volume II. Consoli-
dation and Development, 1954-1966. Volume I has been
edited and is ready for submittal to Dr. Gunberg and
Dr. Drell for review before final typing.
2. The completion of Volume II awaits the writing
of two sub-sections of the final chapter -- sections
on Major Accomplishments and Major Problems. The author
of the paper has been asked either to supply the text
of those two sub-sections or to provide a list from
which I can work in preparing the text. All other parts
of Volume II have been edited.
3. As you know we have recommended that, except
for the tribute to coverage of the
post-1965 activities of the Cable Secretariat -- which
we thought scanty and cursory -- be eliminated from
this paper and become a part of a later paper in the on-
going historical program.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Historical Staff
SUBJECT : Status Report on History of the USIB
REFERENCE : Memo, same subject, 23 June 1971
1. Since the reference report on my work in June, I continued
working on the history of USIB beginning again in September under a
contract initially terminating at the end of December 1971. In
accordance with the original understanding I have also been serving
as a consultant with the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory
Board when and as needed. It was initially contemplated that I would
devote about three-fourths of my time to the USIB history. As a
result of the planning for the President's reorganization of the foreign
intelligence effort, however, I have spent a much larger part of my
time than expected assisting in the staff work for the PFIAB in advising
on this reorganization. My contract therefore has been extended
through the end of April 1972.
2. During the period since 1 September 1971, I have completed
the remaining sections of Volume U covering USIB activities from its
creation in September 1958 through the end of the Eisenhower
Administration in January 1961. In addition to the seven sections in
60 pages giving an overall description of the Board and types of agenda
items which I finished in June, ten more sections of about 150 pages are
now in first draft. Seven of these latter sections cover the reporting to
the USIB by 14 of its more active committees, while the other three
sections summarize the Procedures and Secretariat of the Board, the
USIB Annual Status Reports to the NSC, and the Joint Study Group
Report.
3. I am now doing research and preparing to draft the subsequent
Volumes III and IV covering respectively (a) the growth and crises
faced by the USIB under President Kennedy from 21 Jan 61 - 22 Nov 63,
and (b) the increased and varied intelligence needs in support of
President Johnson from 23 Nov 63 through the end of Mr. McCone's
tenure as DCI on 28 Apr 65. Plans for these volumes as described
in my June report are still being followed as of this time.

"
gence Agency,
TS CODEWORD, by
1. Final editing and typing of subject history were
completed during the second half of calendar year 1971, after
which the history was reproduced, assembled, and bound.
2. The history (DCI-4) is now on the desk of the
DDI, Dr. Edward W. Proctor for signature in his capacity as
CIA SIGINT Officer. Dr. Proctor will be custodian of the
original copy; a second copy is to be lodged in the Executive
Register, and a third copy will be stored in the Agency
Archives. Access will be controlled by the SIGINT Officer.
3. This history traces the development of SIGINT
from its origin I kd War II to the retirement of 25X1
s CIA SIGINT Officer at the end
or 1969. The history discusses many aspects of SIGINT
of concern to decision making officers of the Agency and their
staffs and is expected to become the standard historical
reference on the subject. It is fully sourced, contains a
chronology, and an appendix of basic documents and regulations.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Historical Staff
SUBJECT : On-Going Phase of OGC History
1. This is in response to Col. White's memorandum request-
ing our suggestions and plans for the on-going program for our history.
2. In some ways I think it would be desirable to devote future
OGC history efforts to the treatment of significant projects, events
or developments for which OGC is responsible or in which we played
a major role. The CIA significance of the subject matter, rather
than the fact that this Organization was occupied with the matter
during a particular period of time, would be the controlling factor.
But this would mean that the history of the Office would end rather
abruptly with the completion of the catch-up phase and, thereafter,
only occasional history papers concerning a particular item would
be prepared. Also, the work of our Office touches on many Agency
activities and interests, but we are neither the producer of intelli-
gence nor the analyst. My inclination, therefore, is to contemplate
a middle ground. I believe that after we complete the catch-up phase,
thereafter, from time to time an additional chronological period of
several years should be covered. But in addition, when and if sub-
jects of significant CIA importance have a heavy OGC involvement,
an occasional paper on that subject would be in order.
3. On the catch-up phase of our history, we have not made
as much progress as I had hoped. As you will recall, we proceeded
with the completion of a preliminary project in our history work,
namely, the preparation of the Guide to CIA Statutes and Law and
two major updatings of it. I am asking for a concerted and sustained
effort to complete the catch-up phase as soon as possible. I would
hope to have for you within the next few weeks at least a preliminary

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, CIA Historical Staff
SUBJECT: Status of Legislative History (1957-68)
1. As you know this Office is writing the history of
the Office of Legislative Counsel (OLC) from September 1957 to
May 1968, when Mr. Warner was Legislative Counsel. In the
outline we discussed with you last summer, it was generally
agreed that the history would cover, in some detail, the mission
and functions of OLC, the Joint Committee on Foreign Intelli-
gence question, our relations with the CIA Subcommittees in the
Senate and House, our relations with the rest of the Congress,
and legislation either sponsored by the Agency or by some other
Government agency which in some way affected the authorities
of CIA. In addition, congressional reaction to key international
events involving the Agency, such as the U-2 and the Bay of
Pigs, will be covered in less detail.
2. Much of the basic research for the history has
already been completed and six chapters are now in draft form
and are currently being rewritten. These chapters are:
a. Mission and Functions of OLC
b. Relations with Agency Subcommittees in
Congress
c. The Joint Committee on Foreign Intelligence
Problem
d. Legislation Proposed by CIA
e. Legislation Proposed by Other Agencies
f. Release of Cuban Prisoners in 1962
3. Every effort will be made to have these chapters
in final form as soon as possible.

SUBJECT : History of the Office of the Inspector General -
Status as of 31 December 1971
I submitted to you for review on 13 October 1971 a
draft of the history of the Office of the Inspector General covering
the period 1 July 1947 through 31 March 1968. You reported to
me on 10 January that you were ready to meet with me to discuss
the draft upon your return from Ann Arbor in a few days.
The next installment of the office history will cover the
period of Gordon Stewart=s assignment as Inspector General
from March 1968 through mid-December 1971. I have not yet
begun working on this segment and do not expect to be able to get
to it until after Mr. Broe takes up his new duties as Gordon
Stewart's replacement, which may not be for another couple of
months. It should be an easy chapter to write, because Stewart
kept a diary and good chrono files.
I hope to have it finished by the end of the fiscal year.

request of 18 January, the
following is submitted:
Tentative title:
"History of the DDP -- The Wisner Years"
Period covered:
1 January 1951 - 1 January 1959
It is planned that the paper will be written in two
parts: Part I: a short introductory section covering the
period when Allen Dulles was DDP (1 January - 23 August 1951)
and Part II: a much longer section -- the major part of
the work -- devoted to Frank Wisner's tenure (23 August 1951 -
1 January 1959).
Various epithets have been applied to this period, the
most common being that it was a period of "growth and matura-
tion," that the Clandestine Services "came of age" during
this time, that covert activity became "professionalized"
in these years.
Without either granting or disputing the appropriateness
of these terms, I intend to discuss the almost continuous
process of reorganization which took place -- particularly
during the first half of the period, culminating in the DCI
memorandum of 14 January 1956. Heavily emphasized will be
the efforts to specify and clarify the command lines and
staff functions as well as those devoted to the problem
of achieving workable administrative and support relation-
ships.
Secondly, attention will be focussed on the develop-
ment of the program of "cold war operations" required
 Approved For Release 2006/1'((g;;($ f~'jQ0022R000100070001-6

initially by the promulgation of NSC 10/2 and effected
through the creation of OPC. A good deal of attention
will be paid the the enlargement of OPC's cold war mission
by NSC 63, 105, and 5412 and the rapid expansion of OPC
which this necessitated. The difficult but inevitable
passage to "merger" and the creation of the Clandestine
Services will be traced.
Concurrently, the DDP's relations with the Departments
of State and Defense will receive extensive discussion.
Th the case of State, both the DDP's personal dealings
on policy questions arising primarily from the "OPC
mission" and, later, the formal coordination procedures
with the Psychological Strategy Board and the Operations
Coordination Board will be traced. Regarding relations
with the Pentagon, the problems arising in the area of
"Agreed Activities" as wel as those of CIA support to
military operations in wartime and the planning therefor
will be discussed extensively.
The development of operational doctrine and the effect-
iveness of the Clandestine Services in the field will be
covered by a discussion of covert activity in several selec-
ted foreign areas where problems of major importance arose
during the period.
I plan to conclude with a statement of the status of
the Clandestine Services and the problems then current at
the time of Wisner's resignation as DDP which would serve
as a summary of his accomplishments and as a transition
into the next segment of the history -- that of Bissell's
tenure.
Status of the work, at present:
I
Research for Part I is nearly done; that for Part II
is somewhat less than half done. A very rough outline has
been prepared, a detailed outline for Part I is in prepara-
tion. A few scattered short segments have been written.
I would expect to have a first draft completed, or nearly
so, by 1 July 1972.

tenure. He was not released from other duties, how-
ever, until about six months a n he started
research on the paper. progress has been
slow and spasmodic. Because of his health problems
he has not been able to work regularly. He was absent
during November and December 1971 and has not been in
the office during the past week due to state of his
health. Prognosis of his recovery is uncertain as is
any estimate of his progress on and his ability to
complete the history. has done preliminary
research and has submitted a proposed outline of the

REFERENCE Your telephone call of 18 January 1972
1. On 1 December 1971 I assumed responsibility for
completing the history of the ODDI--a task that will con-
sist essentially of revisin the draft history that had
been prepared by My work to date has in-
volved brief preliminary discussions with the DDI, the
ADDI, the DCh HS, and yourself; a straight-through reading
of the manuscript; and the beginning of a careful
review of that manuscript in the light of the review
comments on it by and yourself and my own
understanding of what is needed. Thus far I have been
concentrating on the developments leading to the original
appointment of a DDI and on the tenure of the first DDI,
Loftus E. Becker.
2. To enhance my own historical perspectives and
understanding of the period I am dealing with, and as
a check on research (which thus far has stood
up quite well), I have been studying the Arthur Darling
history, thel histories of DDI offices,
Mr. Becker's personal diary, and especially the Ludwell
Montague history of Walter Bedell Smith as DCI. I am
working toward development of an outline for revision
that will permit maximum use of the present manuscript
in converting to a finished history that will be accept-
able to both the DDI and yourself. I hope to have a
revised draft ready by the end of June 1972.

SUBJECT : History of the Support Directorate and
the On-going Program for the DDS
1. As I noted in my status report for 1st Half FY 72
(11 Jan 72), some progress was made on the overview history of
the DDS. to the interim between assignments as a senior support
officer, I I spent the period from mid-July to 25X1
early October 1971 in researching and collecting pertinent DDS
records for use in the history. He exploited the Executive Reg-
istry, the DDS Registry, and the Records Center; and I now have
approximately one-half drawer of materials covering all aspects
of DDS activity during 1950-1965. The data have been arranged
chronologically and broad subject/category headings have been
noted. Incidentally, the pertinent extracts from Colonel White's
diaries which I have received also have been filed with the
materials collected by I have pulled a small bit 25X1
of the diary material together under subject headings.
2. Considering the heavy flow of component histories which
I am now processing and the continuation of this flow through most
of the present quarter, I do not anticipate that I will be able to
begin my own serious research on the history of the DDS before the
final quarter of FY 72.
.. 3. I had hoped to be in a position to arrange some
sessions with Colonel White prior to his retirement, but until
I am much further into the basic materials and am able to block
out specific areas for discussion, such meetings would be a
waste of his time. I am presuming, however, that even though he
retires, Colonel White will be amenable to a meeting or two--at
his convenience of course--to discuss the history.
4. One further item which I should like to bring to
your attention pertains to the memorandum from the DDS for the
Executive Director-Comptroller, 6 December 1971, concerning the
on-going DDS program. Of some 19 items listed for inclusion in
the DDS schedule, at least a dozen of the subjects relate to

SECRET
activities/operations and even some of the suggested component
and Office updatings will reflect strong elements of support
for operations. The overview of the Office of Logistics, for
example, would certainly have to tie its management practices
and technological developments to experiences gained in practi-
cal situations--usually in direct support of operations. A
minimum of detail would reflect organizational and structural
changes. Similarly, updating the Office of Personnel history
could bog down in inconsequential trivia, but this would be out
of keeping with the activities which have been listed for poten-
tial study--retirement, recruitment, minority groups, and bene-
fits and services. These problem areas are of continuing inter-
est, and emphasis on developments in these areas would appear
worth continued study and documentation.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, CIA Historical Staff
SUBJECT CS Historical Program, Progress Report
Status of the Program:
1. At the conclusion of the catching-up period
on 31 December 1971 the Clandestine Service had pub-
lished almost sixty percent of its scheduled histories.
If credit is given for histories completed in draft
and under review or other kinds of final processing,
then slightly more than two-thirds of the historical
projects scheduled for completion during the catching-
up period have been published or are close to publi-
cation. Of the remaining scheduled projects, drafts
of about one-third are more than half completed, one-
third are in various stages of research and writing
but are less than half drafted, and no work has been
done on a final third.
2. Numerically the CS has published 170 of the
298 histories scheduled in the program; drafts have
been completed of 32 additional histories which are
in review, revision, or final typing for publication.
Of 44 histories which have been partially drafted,
34 are more than half and 10 less than half completed.
Research, but no writing, has been done for 18 his-
tories while 34 have not yet been started.
3. Notable progress has been made by the SB
Division. With 19 histories in their program, eight
have been published, ten have been submitted for pub-
lication and one is undergoing partial revision.
AF, WH, FE and SO Divisions continue intensive work
in an effort to complete their very large programs
during the current fiscal year. NE Division and TSD
continue to show-minimal progress. Of the five his-
tories in the overall DDP program, one is undergoing
final editing, one is about half complete, two are
less than half complete, and one has not yet been
started.
Problems and Prospects:
4. a. Writers: At the end of the period 34
full-time and 15 part-time writers were
active in the program. Because of reduced
personnel ceilings, limited budgets,
hiring restrictions, and conflicting pri-
orities, the number of writers available
for the program will evidently decrease
further during the remainder of the fiscal
year with some components completely sus-
pending activity.

b. Carry-over: As noted above,,we are
faced with a sizable carry-over from the
catching-up phase of the historical pro-
gram. If one eliminates histories which
will probably be completed and published
during the next few months, there will
remain about 100 histories still to be
written. The task of completing them in
the months ahead is clearly out of pro-
portion with the diminishing number of
available and capable writers.
c. Typists: Slow progress in final
typing continues to delay the publication
of CS histories. With our present typing
strength it will be several months before
the completed and edited drafts now on hand
can be put into final form and published.
Final typing in the CS components has not
been feasible (a) because of the need for
frequent consultation with our editors
and (b) because most components are them-
selves short of typists with many writers
forced to type their own drafts. We con-
tinue our efforts to obtain the services
of at least one and, if possible, two
additional typists until the backlog of
typing has been eliminated.
Recommendations:
5. The Clandestine Service Historical Board
has not recommended any reduction in the number of
scheduled histories. The Board has, however urged
that a lower priority be given to organizational and
station histories. Increased attention should be
given to operational monographs detailing the whole
range of CS and CIA involvement in certain critical
areas and episodes and titles in this category should
be inserted into the program. Other recommendations
are:
a. Certain histories should be designated
"first priority". The number in this cat-
egory should not exceed ten at any one
time. Subject matter to be covered should
include OSO and DDP history, division,
staff, and major station histories, and
selected monographs. An active search
should be made among available staff em-
ployees and annuitants to locate individ-
uals with writing ability and, where pos-
sible, first hand knowledge to work on
these histories.
b. Where divisions are inclined to con-
tinue writing up their field stations,
drawing on their own T/O for writers, they
should be encouraged to do so, even though
the stations involved may be of minor im-
portance from the point of view of the
overall program.
S E C R E T
 Approved For Release 2006/11/17: CIA-RDP84-00022R000100070001-6
S E C R E T
c. Restrictions concerning the re-hiring
of annuitants as independent contractors
should be relaxed, to the extent Agency
and Government policies permit, in order
that a number of them may be engaged as
historical writers. Up to about ten clearly
qualified writers should be so engaged.
d. Future scheduling, deadlines and target
dates should take into account the avail-
ability of writers and the dimensions and
complexity of the histories to which they
are assigned.
e. The program should be flexible and sub-
ject to continuing revision by and with
the concurrence of the CS Historical Board.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, CIA Historical Staff
SUBJECT Status of the DDI Historical Program,
31 December 1971
1. The DDI Historical Program has been moving
steadily toward the completion of its catch-up phase.
Over forty percent of the scheduled histories have
been published; drafts of another third have been
completed and are being reviewed, revised, or are in
final stages of publication. Thus some three-fourths
of the scheduled histories have been published or are
close to publication. Drafts of well over half of the
scheduled monographs have been submitted, and drafts
of the majority of the longer office histories are
expected to be completed by the end of the next quarter.
Meanwhile, a number of suggestions for the on-going
program have been collected.
2. Although the DDI has fallen far short of com-
pleting its catch-up program by 31 December 1971, a
considerable portion of that program should be finished
by the end of the fiscal year. Of the 54 histories
scheduled, 22 have already been published. Five others
have been transferred to the on-going program. Of the
remainder, all but four are either in review or nearing
completion. New writers have been assigned by the com-
ponents for two papers that were in trouble, and temporary
part-time assistance has been provided to expedite the
completion of three other histories.
3. There are 30 writers currently active in the
DDI program, eight of whom are assigned on a full-time
basis. Except for papers that are to be rescheduled
under the on-going program, all DDI histories have writers
assigned to them. Some of the part-time writers suffer
from the conflicting demands of their regular jobs, but
the various components have cooperated to a high degree
in allotting them time for history-writing whenever this
has been feasible. Writers who have been assigned to
the history program on a full-time basis are beginning
to phase out as their drafts are completed. Two plan to
retire soon, and three others expect to be reassigned to
other jobs in the near future. Only one paper in the DDI
program has been undertaken by an annuitant under contract.
This contract has expired, with the paper less than half-
written; the writer is currently working on it part-time
on a voluntary basis.
4. Seven histories were published during the period
1 July 31 December 1971, all of them monographs by OBGI.
Another is currently being prepared for publication.

5. completed a first draft of 25X1
his overall history of the Office of the DDI before his
reassignment. It was reviewed by the Chief and Deputy
Chief of the Historical Staff who judged that it needed
extensive revision and made a number of suggestions for
achieving a publishable paper. I has 25X1
begun work on a revised draft which he tentatively expects
to complete within six months.
6. The next major thrust in the DDI program will
be the publication of a number of overall component
histories. Volume III of the FBIS history (the last
volume under the current program) has been typed and is
in the final stages of review. The first volume of the
history of NPIC is being revised after review in the
Historical Staff and the manuscript of the FDD history
is currently under review in the staff. The OCI history
is virtually completed and the first of the two volumes
of the ORR history is already in the hands of the Historical
Staff. The OSR paper, which is being revised by the authors
after a preliminary review by the DDI Historical Officer,
will be formally submitted during the spring. The influx
of these long manuscripts will tax the available editing,
reviewing, and typing facilities, but this problem is
expected to be only a temporary one.
7. Meanwhile, the steady output of monographs has
continued. OBGI has by far the most ambitious program
in this respect. That office has now published ten mono-
graphs, has seven more in various stages of review and
revision, and three more in process, two of which are
substantially completed. NPIC and OCI, both of which
have produced previous publications in this form, each
have two more monographs in the review and revision phase.
All three of these offices can, therefore, be expected
to substantially meet their commitments for monographs by
the end of the fiscal year.
8. A number of problems remain in the DDI historical
program, however. DCS and OER have each had to defer an
important paper because of the lack of a writer. Each
also has a case of a completed draft which failed to meet
the standards of the historical series; in both cases,
the respective office has recently assigned a new man
to work on upgrading these papers.
9. Three overall office histories are still running
well behind schedule. The history of CGS is nearly complete
and the author hopes to be freed from higher priority re-
quirements in the near future so that he can finish his
draft. The history of CRS -- a second attempt -- was
assigned to the current writer quite late; it seems to be
progressing well but the estimated completion date is still
far in the future. The history of 00 shows little tangible
progress to date; the author's contract has now expired
and it would appear advisable to make new arrangements
for the writing of this paper.
10. During the fall of 1971 considerable thought
was given to designing the on-going phase of the DDI his-
torical program. The consensus appears to be that three
kinds of papers should be included in a relatively modest
production schedule. These include papers carried over

from the current program, one-going office histories in
cases where major reorganizations have taken place, and
topical monographs. Proposed topics and suggested publi-
cation dates have been collected from the components,
members of the DDI Historical Board, and the historical
staff. It is expected that these proposals will be re-
viewed and shaped into an approved on-going program
during the first quarter of 1972.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, Historical Staff
FROM Support Services Historical Officer (SSHO)
SUBJECT Status Report for 1st Half FY 72
1. During the period from 1 July through 31
December 1971, the Support Services historical program
"came on strong." Fifteen histories in the DDS series
were published (see Attachment C), the bulk of the
remaining histories were in the final stages of revision
or typing, and completion of the catching-up phase of
the program was truly in sight. Even greater progress
would have been achieved in terms of numbers of publi-
cations had there been more editorial resources available
to the Historical Staff. The welcome addition of Mr.
Ito the Historical Staff on 1 October 1971
upon a termination of his contract with OTR clearly
illustrated the impact that a single competent editor
can have in reducing the HS paper backlog.
2. With the close of the first half of FY 72, the
DDS components have completed just over 50 percent of
their scheduled publication (41 of 80 histories); 10
percent of the total program (8 of 80 papers) probably
will not be completed until late in the 3rd quarter of
FY 72; and the remaining 40 percent (31 of 80 papers)
will be moving into final processing and reproduction
about as rapidly as HS can process them (see Attachment A).
The major exception to completion of the DDS catching-up
phase will continue to be the over-all history of the
Support Directorate. Even here, however, there was some
Progress during the period under study.
a senior support officer was assigned to work
wit t e SSHO while waiting reassignment; and he spent
the period from mid-July to early October in researching
and collecting pertinent DDS records for use in the
history. This has been the first serious research
effort the overview history of the DDS. (Mr.
incidentally, was then given the responsibil-
ity for revising Planning and Construction of the Agency
Headquarters Building; and he has nearly completed this
major task.)
3. With reference to the on-going program, on
6 December 1971 the DDS forwarded a memorandum to the
Executive Director-Comptroller outlining the program
developed for the DDS following a meeting of the DDS
Historical Board on 28 October 1971 and subsequent meet-
ings between component historical officers and their
Office chiefs. The question of management of such a
program was also raised in the memorandum from the DDS,
and the DDS recommended the use of professional historians
assigned to the Historical Staff to sustain the bulk of
the on-going program -- a position to which the SSHO
heartily subscribes.

4. During the period of this report there were
probably about 25-30 active writers, including ten full
time authors. (See Attachment B). Of the full time
writers, six were annuitant contractors- and of the six,
the contracts of I- OTR, I-
OC, andi - OS came to an end prior to 31
December 1971. moved to the Historical Staff
and Messrs. accepted contracts for
overseas jobs with the Clandestine Service. Following
31 December 1971 there will be only one full time annuitant
contractor, of the Office of Personnel --
of Security terminated
It is anticipated, however, that when
returns from TDY, he will complete another
segment of the OS history of physical security.
STATUS OF COMPONENT PROGRAMS (See Attachment B.)
5. Office of Communications -- During the period
under review, OC published four histories. Six histories
remain in the OC program; three of these are in the final
stages of preparation; and the other three are in the
very early stages of preparation -- the overview of the
Office, for example, has not progressed beyond the
outline phase. The incomplete portions of the OC
program are those on COMINT, the Domestic Communica-
tions Activity, and, as already noted, the Overview
of OC.
6. Office of Finance -
completed a revision of the overview history of the
Office and the draft is being examined in OF prior to
forwarding it to HS. incidentally, was
reassigned to OPPB e ective 3 January 1972; and probably
can be called on should any serious problems turn up in
the current revision of the history.
7. Office of Logistics -- As the Office with the
highest number of reports scheduled for the DDS historical
program, the performance of OL has been outstanding.
Ten of the 18 papers scheduled for publication have been
completed, and the remaining eight are in the final stages
of review or typing. That more of the OL papers were not
published during the current reporting period is attrib-
utable to the lack of manpower resources on the Historical
Staff. The only OL paper published during the period in
review was a sensitive report produced
in a single copy tor retention in the office of the Director
of Logistics.
8. Office of Medical Services -- As of this reporting
period, six of the seven OMS histories scheduled in the
catching-up phase of the Agency's historical program are
incomplete. There are, however, more signs of progress
on the OMS program than ever before. Only two of the
remaining OMS histories have not been forwarded to the
Historical Staff in at least first draft form. Although
it probably will be well into the third quarter of FY 72
before the bulk of the OMS reports will be revised for
final typing, it is apparent that OMS is now seriously
engaged in the historical effort.

9. Office of Personnel -- During the 1st half of
FY 72, six histories of components or functions of the
Office of Personnel were published, leaving only six more
to be completed for the catching-up effort. Five of the
six remaining OP reports have been through some stages
of review by the Historical Staff -- three papers, in fact,
are now in final review. The only report which has
not been reviewed in first draft is the Missing in
Action history, but the SSHO has been in close touch
with OP representatives; and the first draft will be
available in the near future.

the OS historical officer, worked heroically with three
contract employees to meet the 31 December 1971 date for
completing the catching-up phase, but the bulk of the
revision effort on all papers fell largely on Mr. Mazza.
At the present time is the only one assigned 25X1
to the OS program -- as noted earlier, contracts for two
annuitants ended on 31 December 1971 and the third con-
tract annuitant interrupted his historical activities to
undertake an overseas TDY for the Clandestine Service.
It is planned that in the near future another staff em-

OTR was concluded, completed the series
of OTR histories scheduled for the catching-up program.
Nine of the 12 scheduled histories have been published
and the other three are in the very late stages of processing
in the HS -- the history of The Language and Area School
and the School of International Communism, in fact, has
been waiting for the DTR to sign off since November 1971.
PROBLEMS
12. Completion of the catching-up phase of the DDS
historical program appears to be feasible within the early
Spring of 1972, with possible exceptions in Communications
and in Medical Services. The overview history of the
Support Directorate will have to be included as a part
of the on-going effort of the DDS, since it is unlikely
that it can be given much attention until the final quarter
of FY 72.
13. There is going to be considerable turnover among
the component historical officers in the next few months.
has already departed OTR and no replacement
has been named;j of OL has been reassigned
and his replacement either has, or soon will be, named;
and of OS is to be reassigned in the Spring.
Consequently, the on-going program, whatever its nature,
will have to be worked out with a new cast of characters.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, CIA Historical Staff
SUBJECT: Status of Historical Program of
Directorate of Science and Technology,
31 December 1971
1. When the DD/S&T historical program was first
initiated, it was decided that each Office of the Directorate
would prepare its own history, and each Office Director was
requested to assign one or more of his staff to do the re-
search and writing. No contract or full-time personnel were
assigned to the program and those given history-writing tasks
were expected to fit their research and writing into their
regular job schedule. By the spring of 1970, six of the
seven Offices had produced first drafts of their histories.
The writing of an over-all Directorate history was added to
the program at that time and the undersigned was attached to
the Office of the DD/S&T in March 1970 to work full time on
that project.
2. At the end of the "catching-up" period, as of
31 December 1971, the DD/S&T historical program finds itself
in the doldrums. Only one of eight planned histories has
been published. The others, in all but one case, could be
finished in just a little while if those involved could find
the necessary time.
3. The status of the individual histories follows:
OSA - Published.
OSI - Ready for publication for a year; however,
the author, wishes to make an STAT
addition totalling no more than three pages,
but has not been able to take the time.
OEL - First draft delayed in passage to the
Historical Staff for review through oversight
at the time of the DD/S&T Historical Board
Chairman's retirement; it is now with the
History Staff for review.
ORD - A revision of the first draft in accordance
with History Staff recommendations has been
completed except for a rewrite of the Preface
and an updating of the chronology for 1966-68.
OSP - The undersigned was given the task of rewriting
the first draft which was completed in 1967,
but which was very short. The writer intended
to build upon the first draft but found that it
had no footnotes, no source references and no
supporting documentation and therefore started
over from the beginning. This work was begun
in July 1971 and has required more time than
the writer's hopeful. forecast at that time.
About 90% of the writing is finished and it is
expected to be completed in February and be
read by several OSP officers for content.

 Approved For Release 2006/11/17: CIA-RDP84-00022R000100070001-6
FMSAC - First draft returned to FMSAC in June 1971
with History Staff's recommendations for
revision; no further action has been taken
despite the undersigned's urging. The offi-
cers involved (the Deputy Director and the
Executive Officer of FMSAC) both claim they
have no time.
OCS - No submission to date. The responsible
officer (OCS Executive Officer) claims he
has not had time to give to this task. He
has all the reference material necessary at
hand, and has six monographs in rough draft
(about 100 pages).
DDS&T - Second draft, entailing some major rewriting,
completed between May and July 1971. This
draft, to ether with appendices, etc., is
now with Chairman of the DD/S&T STAT
Historical Board; awaiting his imprimatur.
4. With regard to the continuing history program, the
undersigned would make only one comment. In whatever form
the Directorate history may be continued (I would favor the
program or project type rather than the component type), it
is obvious that the only answer to getting histories written
within given time schedules is to assign these tasks to the
writers on a full-time basis.
