Note for: General Wilson
Subject: White House Request
1. Attached is the inventory list of CIA intelli-
gence publications sent to Jixr. Fazio on 10 Sept.
Of these, three were estimates provided by the NIO,
two were special reports from Executive Registry,
and the remainder were identified by Dave Peterson
of the White House Support Staff.
2. 1 have since received a few reports from
OER and am promised more from OSR and CRS.
These will be sent on 11 Sept., in accordance
with Fazio's request.
3. In hindsight, I believe this request should
have been directed to the CIA and fulfilled by them
inasmuch as only Agency publications were requested,
and since NSA and DIA were separately tasked.
4. It is also interesting to observe that there
is no central inventory or record of publication
distribution to the White House or elsewhere. Each
office in DDI maintains its own records, and some
seem to be better than others. Separately, the
NIO's, USIB and the Office of the DCI maintain their
own records. Each of these was checked. I cannot
be confident, however, that we have or will be able
to respond fully and accurately to the White House
request.

5. In summary, I feel that this job was poorly
done under the time constraints given and the
multiplicity of inadequate records to be checked.
