PUBLICATIONS OF THE DIRECTORATE OF INTELLIGENCE*
Reference: DD/I Notice 5-100-6
5 August 1964
Subject: Format for Publications of the
Directorate of Intelligence
1. The purposes of this Notice are to reduce the number
of types of finished intelligence publications produced by the
Directorate of Intelligence and to achieve greater uniformity
in the formats of covers of such publications. To accomplish
these purposes, certain categories of DDI publications will be
discontinued,** and the names of the producing Offices will no
longer appear on the covers of finished intelligence publications.
This Notice becomes effective 1 May 1966 and supersedes the
referenced Notice.
2. In addition to periodicals, the Directorate of
Intelligence will produce three categories of finished intelligence
publications: Intelligence Memorandum, Intelligence Report, and
Intelligence Handbook. The producing Office will determine the
appropriate category for each publication on the basis of the
following definitions:
*or the purpose of this Notice, publications of the Directorate
of Intelligence are defined as finished intelligence production
which is reproduced in multiple copies for dissemination outside
the Directorate. Finished intelligence is usually fully coordinated
within the DDI and with other Directorates as appropriate. In the
exceptional case when a publication reflects the views of a single
component or individual, this will be noted in a foreword or in a
footnote to the first page of text. (Information reports of the
publications of the STATSPEC
and the Foreign Documents Division, i io- STATSPEC
graphic materials and the like are not finished intelligence.)
**This Notice eliminates the following categories of publications:
Intelligence Briefs, Intelligence Studies, Intelligence Research

a. Intelligence Memorandum - A timely assessment
relating to a policy problem or intelligence development
of sufficient importance to warrant the attention of
policy and action officers of the Government.
b. Intelligence Report - A detailed comprehensive
study, usually less timely than a Memorandum, intended
for use primarily by research and analysis officers.
(A Report may provide important inputs and background
material for a more timely, policy-oriented Intelligence
Memorandum.)
c. Intelligence Handbook - A compendium of factual
information intended as a reference aid to policy and
action officers as well as research and analysis
officers.
3. The name of the issuing Office will no longer appear on
the covers of the three types of publications listed in paragraph
2 above and such periodicals as the Current Intelligence Digest
and the Current Intelligence Weekly. The covers of these
publications will bear the imprint DIRECTORATE OF INTELLIGENCE.
The producing Office will be identified in a foreword or in a
footnote on the first page of text.
4. The design and information content of the covers of
DDI and other CIA publications are scheduled to be reviewed
and revised in the next few months after discussions with
consultants. Except for the change described above, no other
changes will be made in the covers of DDI publications until
the Agency-wide study is completed.

*Reference Aids wi continue to be produced. In contrast with
Intelligence Handbooks which are finished intelligence, Reference
Aids are compilations of unevaluated or partially evaluated
information produced primarily for the use of intelligence
analysts.
