solution to the augmentation problem reached late in
February. The report on this solution is now being
prepared and will be ready for typing on 1 April.
began work on a sub-task (Personnel
Security) with exploratory interviews in OCS and the
Special Intelligence Security Staff. The purpose of
the interviews was to develop a better understanding
of the magnitude of the sub-task and to identify the
. Agency. components. concerned with this problem and
some of the ways in which it is handled. Memoranda
on these meetings were circulated under CHIVE numbers
C-63-66 and C-64-66. Subsequent activity during. the
month was directed to the identification and study of
security procedures and clearance records maintained
by OCR Divisions. Components contacted to date in-
clude Document Division, Graphics Register, Special
Register, and the Liaison Staff.
The task description was approved and published
durin the month.

:2. Current Awareness Support (Task 38h)
Tentative plans for customer interviews have been
delayed until a satisfactory mock-up based on the cor-
pus of 265 titles mentioned in last month's report is
available for display to prospective users. The ori-
ginal plan to use a mock-up based m65 . titles was
abandoned because of unforeseen delays in its produc-
tion and, more important, doubt that the sample was
sufficiently representative.

In addition, interviews should be delayed until
the task team is prepared to give customers a realis-
tic appraisal of coverage as well as time lag between
publication date of the referenced documents and their
appearance on the KWIC listing. Exploratory discus-
sions on the latter subject have been initiated with
the Printing Services Division; resolution of the for-
mer is, to'a significant extent, dependent upon more
nearly accurate information on volume of material pro-
posed for inclusion. The team proposes to gather such
.data.
Little progress has been made on production of the
mock-up listing during the month. Although keypunch-
ing was. completed by Machine Division, program testing
has not been accomplished and will not be concluded
until early next month. Actual printing of the mock-
up will depend on availability of a missing piece of
equipment for the PN print chain for the 360/30.
The numbering system to be used in the mock-up
has been simplified along the lines mentioned in last
month's report. The previously proposed numbering
schedule was tried in the Document Delivery System
test and was found difficult to apply.
The team has still not made a final decision on
a recommended title for the KWIC listing. The acro-
nym SKAN (Subject-Keyword-ANnouncement)is judged the
.best suggestion thus far. In addition to being easy
to remember, SKAN connotates possible use by the
recipients of such a publication. .

Most options and possible paths in PGMl have been
checked out with CIPV,01 and CIPV,02 included in the
program.
PGM2 has been tested without its subroutines.
Testing of this program with EXCLUD and EXTRACT in-
cluded is now in progress.

b. Subject Dictionary
The month was devoted to a training program.
Six junior members of CHIVE have been taken through
the Subject Intelligence Code (SIC) chapter by
chapter and have been involved in coding SI and
collateral material. Each trainee has corrected
his indexing during a group discussion on each
document or group of documents. A small corpus
of typical documents is being coded by each trainee
to provide a test of the trainee's absorption of
the SIC and, indeed, of the SIC itself. A few
artificial questions will be levied against the
coded corpus to test the SIC in a retrieval mode.
A consistency. examination will be made to deter-
mine the kind and rate of agreement among the
trainees. One product of the test program has been
an opportunity to see how the SIC operates; some
minor revisions have already been made.

and Personnel Responsibilities.
b.' Revision of Indexing Procedures and
Techniques
A tentative list of personality elements of
information has been compiled as the recommended
identifying and informative data which should be
controlled via the CHIVE indexing language. When
the proposal personalit selection criteria have
been compiled by the 25X1B
Team, the two listings will be transmitted'to OCR
Divisions and customers for comment.

8. Requirements Study (Task 19)
Completion of the first sub-task of th 25X1B
study has been delayed due to the urgent necessity
to lay the groundwork for the second part of the
dossier task. The Task Team held a number of meetings
in order to determine what data should be collected
on current request patterns in SR, FIB, and BR. A
consensus was obtained, and the Task Team is currently
designing a request form to be used by select analysts
in the three divisions which will capture the specific
elements of information needed to determine whether a
particular CHIVE strategy can be justified.
Collection efforts should begin early in April.
Work continued during the month on the first sub-
task, and memoranda of conversations were prepared
and published on nine more interviews with OCR per-
sonnel on CHIVE's proposed design. After the 25X1B
completion of three more in erview reports, work will
begin on a summary report setting forth the results
of the survey and recommending what aspects of the
design need further study or'modification.

The task. description was approved and published
during .the month.
Initial meetings were held with nearly all per-
tinent task.teams to enlist their cooperation and to
explain the Management Data (MD) task and its needs
more precisely. Each task team has been asked to
consider MD requirements and to draft a set of such
requirements for their respective design areas.
Personnel assigned to the Management Data Task
have started to gather data on OCR management data
collection and reporting procedures. The team also
.started to review the open literature on other mana-
gement information systems, and initiated action to
visit the DIA to:.study its management information

functions of the Selection Criteria and Customer
Requirements tasks, as now defined,. the two have
been merged into one task. Accordingly, an appro-
priate task description was issued on. 21 March.
The first edition of the Table on Processing
Criteria, due 1 April, will provide only basic
identifying information for each series listed.
Blank columns will be entered for recording actual
processing. criteria, and this element of the table
will subsequently be completed through consultation
with appropriate task teams. Entries for the ini-
tial edition of. the table have been. completed for
raw and finished collateral series; the codeword
section is under preparation.

Most of the month was spent on extensive reading
of available documentation on the. command language,
CHIVE indexing system, and file descriptions in'
current use in OCR. Extensive tours of OCR Divi-
sions are planned to gain an intimate knowledge of
current query procedures. During the latter part
of the month, several days were spent in the
learnin their input and query
techni ues. The tour will continue into April.

13. Source Formatted Data (Task 27)
visited the Aerospace
Technology Division o e Library of Congress during
the report period and also attended a briefing on
Project Crosscheck at FTD on 17 March. The purpose
of the latter briefing was to familiarize computer
personnel with Crosscheck file organization and search
programs. The master file (Option 1 File) presently
contains about'500,000 records. Present growth rate
of the file is about 50,000 articles per month. The
computer programs are designed to process search
requests for any or all data contained in the File.
It is anticipated that the Crosscheck program will
be. expanded on 1 July 1966 to
and sources of interest to the Army and avy.

background reading, the team has held one subsequent
meeting at which general methodology for this task
was informally defined.
The initial task description, now.under prepara-
tion, will confine itself to input flows and trans-
actions. By the time this subtask is completed in
early fall, query procedures and other factors gover-

himse with operations in FIB, BR, and SR by working
in each of the registers concerned for a period of
some weeks. This contact is aimed at achieving three
objectives: a) developing a cadre of future operators
within CHIVE who will possess a rather detailed know-
ledge of the operations of all the Registers whose
files and customers they will inherit; b) insuring
that the CHIVE design has not ignored or neglected to'
consider any. essential on-going activity; and c)
developing additional background information which can
be applied to the issue of COG o nization and mana-
gement. will accompany on 25X1A
these. visits, a latter. concentrating ing
procedures for querying these files to be inherited

1. Input Processing .(Task 12)
a. Page Reader
Testing of the 915 Program System is 95%
.complete.' The seven forms already designed and
printed were tested and found to be. correct
with minor exceptions:
All form numbers were too "heavy"
permit reliable recognition.
The preprinted declassification box at
the bottom of some of the forms was found
to be too close to the last line.
- Due to the lack of typewriter control, the
last line on the form was almost invariably
skewed. This is caused by not enough paper
left under the pinch roller to maintain
control. It is recommended that typed lines
be no closer than one inch from the bottom
of the form.
- The field separators, used to outline the
linkage indications on form 008, are not
spaced at the proper 10 characters to the
inch.
Experiments with forms printed in-house, both
single and two-color, are being. conducted. An
25X1A operator, from the'OCS Computer Center
is receiving orientation during test sessions at
25X1A Magnetic tape program loading techniques
are being explored. A memorandum, describing the
proposed acceptance procedures, has been prepared.
Control forms to facilitate acceptance testing
have been prepared and are being tested. A spe-

a. System Improvement
Errata and addenda schemes for the Steno
LPU Automatic Language Processing program are
operational and the necessary programs to gene-
rate these entries have been added to the ALPSYS
-7090 program tape. In addition, major changes
have been made in the ending routines of the LPU
program. A new Steno program containing. 250
errata entries for disk 397 and over 400 addenda
entries is now operational.
An LPU core dump was written. This same pro
gram can also be used to dump the contents of any
track on the photostore disk.
Another program was written to dump the con-
tents of the LPU onto magnetic tape in a format
such that it can be read back into the LPU as a
program. This has been quite useful in making
temporary changes in the LPU programs.
An English sort program was written to sort
the Steno master dictionary on the English func-
tion field. A copy of this dictionary was sent
to OCR/FDD for use by the.stenotypists.
The 1401 Steno operational program was altered
to punch statistics at the end of each run. A
1401 program was written to tally these statistics
at the end of each month for accounting purposes.
Format errors, transliterations, and lines of, text
printed are tallied by the program.
Two updates of the Russian LPU ALP program
were made during the month. Experimentation con-
tinues with the procedure for handling prepositions.
Lexicographic work on core entries has made the
LPU program more reliable.
Approximately 200 additional entries have been
prepared this month for inclusion in the next up-
date of the Steno dictionary. Russian lexicography
continues with primary emphasis on. core. entries.

Russian MT production for March totalled

Multiple bit failures in the core of the
LPU caused a two-day back-log in MT production
during the week of 21 March. The priority
schedule of the two daily Steno reports to be
printed on multilith mats was maintained however.
A check by _of the LPU memory revealed that
defective. components in the temperature compen-
sating. circuitry were the probable cause of the
failures.
The present Steno production schedule. calls
for morning processing of the (O:CR/FDD) Latin
American and East European Daily Reports. MT
production continues to arrive on an ad hoc
basis. . At the request of FDD, starting on 22
March all MT printout will be returned to FDD
by mail rather than by messenger. The Steno
material is still returned by messenger. Turn-
around time for processing of the two Steno
priority reports is less than one hour.
