Subject: FDD Basic Exploitation Program
1. The FDD basic exploitation program of scheduled reporting is
designed to satisfy requirements expressed by IAC representatives on
the Subcommittee on Exploitation of Foreign Language Publications of
the Advisory Committee on Foreign Language Publications, implementing
NSCID-16.
2. The scheduled reports are intended to provide required coverage
of subject categories and/or areas in terse presentation style for ready

Extent of coverage and selection of information for inclusion
in the reports will vary by category and country depending on current
emphasis of requirements, program guidance received from consumers,
availability of manpower and source material.
3. Generally, the presentation of items will be in the form of
factual precis, abstracts, or summaries of the content of articles as
appropriate from the information contained in the source materials.
(See Tab A "Reporting Program of FDD/00")'
FDD comment, inspired by observation, comparison, special
knowledge of subject etc., will be indicated clearly as "Comment" enclosed
in brackets, e.g., Jomment: This notice supersedes nine previous FDD notices,
4. Material for scheduled reports will represent the contribution
and cooperation of all branches of the division.
Branch chiefs will appoint "coordinators" as the officers respon-
sible for the collection of contributions for the respective areas of
reporting; for checking material for coherency, for preventing duplication,
for proper compilation before transmittal of material to the editors, and
for meeting the publication schedule set for each report,
The coordinator will be the point of reference for editorial
questions or revisions.
(Coordinators appointed for the FDD scheduled reports are listed
in Tab A. Branch chiefs will designate alternates as required.)
