The followin information is desired for fiscal year 1952:
A list of all newspapers and other publications received
on a subscription basis.
(a) List arnouant raid for each subscri tion per annum.
I subscription less than annual, show _payments for
perio of su - scription.
There is attached herewith as Tab A a machine record run of the
newspapers and periodicals purchased overtly by CIA i the United States
during fiscal year 1952, You will note that the prices paid are included
in many instances; however, as we were converting to the use of machine
records in 1952, and because of certain clerical problems arising from
the fact that bills were not always rendered by the time that the particu-
lar machine card was punched, there are some gaps in the attached
subscription price information. If necessary, we could put people to
work abstracting the remaining price information from the bills rendered
and, of course, these records are still available. However, as this
would require taking people off their current ,orbs, and assigning them
to this task from areas where we are just keeping abreast of the current
work load, we have not prepared this additional information where it
is lacking in the machine run. I can assure you, however, that the
prices paid for these subscriptions are not out of line, and the great
bulk of these publications are secured at the prices stipulated in the
General Services Administration price list,

advertisements were small and inserted by our personnel recruiters
in certain cities and towns where these recruiters were available for
interview. Virtually all of these advertisements were aimed at secur-
ing ing clerical personnel, although in a few instances certain specialized
types of personnel were sought. In no instance did they mention CIA
by name, but stated that the recruiter was recruiting personnel for the
Government. It would be an extremely time-consuming and costly job
to secure from the vouchers submitted for these expenditures the in-
formation as to the amount paid for each publication. In each instance
it would be the normal advertising rate per line charged by the news -
paper concerned.
