Register is the only CIA component authorized to borrow photographic
materials from the various repositories. Certain requests, however,
are filled by PIC personnel. These are usually for photo coverage
to be utilized in highly sensitive projects or requests that must be
filled in the shortest possible time.
PIC Photo requests levied on GR are typed in quadruplicate; one
copy to active order file, where it is filed by month; two copies
to GR (one is later returned with GR action indicated) and one copy to
the requestor. A log book is maintained by PIC indicating order pumber,
type materials desired, date of request, due date, and requestor.?
Requests filled by PIC research, analysts are typed in duplicate,
one copy to the active file, one copy to analyst performing the research.
When requested material is delivered, it is so noted on CCS file
copy. If material is for retention, the order is removed from active
file and placed in completed file. Loan material transfer slips7are
attached to the request, signed by the requestor and the order is returned
to the active order file until the material is returned to its proper
repository (through G.R.). Orders are then placed in the completed file.

1. DUE DATES MUST BE REALISTIC: (1) Normal time :or print loans
from Air Force or Navy is 5-6 work days; (2) Air Force and 'levy
film loans (small amounts) are processed in C-12 work days; (3) Air
Force and Navy print or transparencies orders are proceSsed in 20-30
work days; (4) Since it is almost impossible to obtain large (over
25) print or transparencies orders from Air Force in less than 30
work days it is best to borrow the film and do necessary reproduction
at PIC; (5) Army material is best obtained by borrowing negatives
and performing necessary reproduction at PIC; (6) eproduction time
of GR material varies; small orders are often completed within 4-5
work days, large orders often take 20-30 work days. Loan prints are
next to impossible to obtain from this source, but negatives (small
amounts) can be obtained for short periods.
