MEMORANDUM FOR: Walter Elder, Executive Secretary

Deputy to the DCI for Collection Tasking
SUBJECT: CCPC China Study
1. At the direction of the NFIB, a working group of the
CCPC was convoked to review the CCPC China study for accuracy
and timeliness. This review was begun immediately following
the NFIB's consideration of the study at its meeting on
2. The working group's extensive review resulted in some
sixty pages of agreed changes necessary for the purposes of
updating and accuracy. The review also revealed within the
group a differeiice of opinion between and other elements
of the Community over the wording of certain evaluative
paragraphs. That difference has now been resolved and the
extensive changes have been incorporated in the latest version
of the study. This version has been fully coordinated within
the CCPC.
3. I would appreciate your informing NFIB principals-that
the board's charge has been complied with and that-the study is
now ready for publication

NOTE FOR: Executive Secretary, NFIB
FROM:
Deputy to the DCI for Collection Tasking
SUBJECT: CCPC Study on China
REFERENCE: NFIB-64.6/64, CCPC-D-39-79, dated 26 July 1979
dc1-cQE12
1. On 16 S4ovember 1979, the NFIB noted the reference report subject
to review by the D/DCI/CT for accuracy and timeliness.
2. Coordination of some substantive issues, which were raised by
the NFIB, resulted in inordinate delays in completing this action. As
a result, while there is now Community agreement in these areas, the
remaining portions of the report ere outdated. Updating of the complete
report would involve considerable time and manpower. I do not believe
such a review is warranted at this time.
3. I request that you note in your NFIB files that CT action has
been completed.
