a, The Chairman noted steady progress of Chapter I development in
its scope,, treatment, and contents, as well as in the inter agenoy pro-
cedures. fhe final review by the several agencies has contributed to the
improvement of the finished draft. This review appears to be most effective
when done at the final stage of processing, thus permitting a comprehensive
v ie.w of the whole Chapter. The principal difficulty to be overcome is the
timely submission of contributions in accordance with the established schedule.
3. Treatment of NIS 32
The State member reported that his agency had reviewed the Committee's
suggestions made at the 5 October meeting relative to the treatment of NIS 39
(China) and had set forth its views in memorandum of 27 October 1954, copies
of which had been sent to all members. After some discussion, the Committee
concurred in State's position which is essentially that:
a. Maintenance of Chapters IV, and V on Communist China be
done by individual sections as required.
b0 Maintenance of Chapters IV, V, and VI on Nationalist China
be dons by individual sections as required., c? Maintenance on Hong Kong and Macao be done as a unit in
annexes to Chapters IV, V, and VI on China.

eo The tentative schedule for FT 1958 was not approved, and the
Chairmn was requested by the Committee tb convoy its views to the Chapter
I3 Coordinator in regard to item 4 of the above mentioned memorandum of
5 October 1954 that:
1) The NIS Committee is charged with meeting the eight
NIS per year goal set by the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
2) The Committee considers that new area production
should proceed concurrently with necessary maintenanceo
3) The Committee requests the Chapter IX Coordinator to
reconsider the alternative schedule (paragraph 4 c)
with the view to substituting one or more of the higher
priority maintenance areas from paragraph 1* by
5. Requirements for SE I.sian Areas
. The Army member reported that Arnr had sent a reply to CINCFE (refer
to NIS Committee Meeting No. 180) to the effect that little could be expected
in the current year from any ,alignment of NIS production, and that a letter
would shortly be sent to indicate the extent of NIS planned production for
the next three years on the areas in which CINCFE is interested, l-7:
Burma, Thailand, Malaya, and Indonesia. in reply to a question from the
Chairman, the Navy member said that no comment had yet been received from
CINCPAC on CINCFE's dispatch.
The Committee agreed to look further into the problem of rescheduling
sections to meet this new requirement. The Army member suggested possible
substitution of Sections 20, 21, and 24 on NIS 100 (Indonesia) for corresponding
sections on NIS 55 (Ethiopia). The Navy member thought it would-be possible
to produce Chapter VIII on Indonesia by the early part of F! 1956, but he will
examine the problem with the other Defense Agencies. The State member con-
sidered that any further substitutions in State's sections of responsibility
for FY 1955 would result in a serious disruption of production., However,
he said State was examining the FY 1956 schedule to see what might be donee
6. Production Planning Schedule
Copies of the consolidated production planning schedule were
distributed to the members. the Chairman advised that the Chapter VI schedule
will be in this week, and copies will be sent to the members for inclusion in
the present schedule. A special meeting of the NIS Committee was scheduled
for Tuesday, 9 November 1954 for the purpose of examining the forecast with a
view to rounding out and completing as many areas as possible.
