2. Consideration of Army roposal
_ _ . _ , . _ _ _ ee.
The SUncommittee considered an Army proposal (Enclosure I) that
one Chapter IX be dropped fram the F7 1960 (contributors' FY 1959)
schedule to allow for the prepa*ntion of the 12 Section 19 portions of
the Chapter I Annuals to be completed during FY 1959. The Army member
explained that the Army positioti extended to other fiscal years as well,
and proposed that future Chaptet TX commitments be changed from 8 to 7
Chapters IX per year because of the additional work load imposed by the
Chapter Annual program. Both WAHO members agreed without reservation
to the Army proposal. The AWS tepresentative also supported the
proposal, although he indleatedelhat a temporary shift in personnel had
been mate to meet immediate deaWines. The ACIC member reported that an
extra person had been added to the staff to compensate for the additional
work required for Chapter I Annliels. Since the Chanter IX is a joint
effort of components of several 'agencies, however, he stated that ACIC
would not object to 1...1 proporal e Chnpter IX Subcommittee recommendation
for nis Committee consideration; The Chairman, representing CIA as a
Chapter "A contributor and es flip ahepter TX coordinator, indicated that no
provision has been made in D/CG4fer edditional personnel and that Chapters IX,
Sections 19, and the $eetion 11,-,yr-t-.ona of the Annual will be delayed unless

3. Stibcommittee Farposals for NIS Committee Consideration
The members of the Subcommittee estimated that the preparation of
Section 19 contributions to 12 Chapter I Annuals is the approximate
equivalent of one contribution to Chapter IX. The Subcommittee therefore
agreed to recommend alternate proposals to the NIS Committee for consider-
ation: a) that the Chapter IX requirements be adjusted from 8 Chapters
per year to 7 or b) that the Section 19 portion be deleted from all
future Chapter I Annuals.
4? Revised Sehedulefaand Yorecasts_for 1960-62.
If a change in the number of Chapters IX to be scheduled per year
is approved, the Subcommittee proposed that the EY 1960 schedule and
the forecasts for FYs 1961 and 1962 forwarded to the NIS Committee on
It June 1958 for consideration be revised as follows:

5. Comments on Section 19yortion_of Chapter I Annual for NIS 7
The Chief of the Coordination Staff read the very favorable comments
received. from OBI concerning the Section 19 portion of the Annual for
IS 7, Denmark, and also reported that the suggestion had been made
orally that time spent in its pir,,,:paration by some of the contributors
was excessive and that perhaps tAe information should be less complete.
The consensus of opinion of meloltv:1,rs of the Subcommittee was a) that
the minimum amount of time was being expended for an adequate treatment
of the subject matter and b) that the quality of the product should not
be sacrificed.
