FOOTNOTES TO TABLE
a. Intelligence activities of agencies other than CIA, gtate, and
Defense are not included. However, they would not alter substantially the
magnitude of total costs.
b. Intelligence as used herein is modified as follows:
Positive - in contrast to counter-intelligence or
internal security;
Foreign - in contrast to domestic; and
Strategic - in contrast to tactical or operational.
c. Since this is a costing exercise which must cut across many
accounts and appropriations, the figures cannot be related directly to
published figures representing either actual or proposed costs.
d. Average employment, based in most instances on "on board" employ-
ment December 31, 1953?
e. The category breakdown was originally supplied by the Intelli-
gence Advisory Committee and subsequently modified slightly by Budget
Bureau staff as the figures were discussed with the agencies.
f. The Army and Navy components in AFOIN, as reported by the parent
service, have been shown in the column of that service and distributed
among categories on the basis of estimates provided by AFOIN. The AFOIN
targets program was distributed among all seven categories of production.
g. This is an additional item designed to cover agency collection
units which receive and screen requirements, and pass them on to any one
or more of a number of collection facilities, both within and without the
agency. This is in contrast to staff primarily supporting and servicing
a single collection program.
h. Includes clandestine and "special source" collection in total
i. Activities were distributed among sub-categories on the basis of
the subject matter of the finished intelligence product - oral or written -
at each level. For example, a military staff unit working on Sovbloc pro-
duction of aviation gas or bunker fuel would be considered economic, al-
though the product of such a unit might eventually be used to estimate
future military strength.
J. The word "psychological" was added to this category to prevent the
need for a new classification covering (1) intelligence on psychological

warfare plans and programs of foreign governments, and (2) intelligence,
not properly classifiable in another category, on the susceptibility of
foreign :populations to psychological programs. Material which is gathered
thru intelligence processes to be used operationally (e.g. in scripts and
pamphlets) in U. S. psychological and information programs is not included
in this analysis.
k. "Military technical" includes intelligence on foreign military
weapons, equipment, and structures, and in a sense could be considered to
augment the categories of ground, naval, and air forces. Due to the close
interrelation of physical testing and evaluation of foreign weapons and our
own research and development programs - both military and contract - esti-
mated costs of this important intelligence activity are not included.
1. Screening, reproduction, and distribution herein include proc-
essing both of incoming raw and finished intelligence and of the intel-
ligence products of the agency.
in. Includes administration, supervision and coordination not so
directly related to any other specific intelligence category as to be
reasonably assigned to that category. Complete uniformity among agencies
has not been achieved.
n. Includes research and development for (a) mechanical devices
in support of intelligence missions; (b) pilot models of techniques of
intelligence analysis. External contracts involving the production of
intelligence are distributed by subject matter.
o. Includes commercial costs plus estimated pro-rata shares of
military and agency communication costs. Military costs based on factor
of .30$ per word group. Military man-years not available. .
p. Includes estimates reported to be subject to error by 25%.
s. Estimates of military man-years available to CIA with or without
reimbursement were not available. The dollar costs of such personal serv-
ices are included in the cost totals.
