(C//AIM) "True Detective" Anti-Communist TV Series
(UPAIU ) A box of USIA records reviewed by the CDC Team at NARA II contains a memo dated 10 October 1962 from
Howard A. White, Embassy USIA Officer, Lisbon, Portugal to Stephen M. Carney, Office of the Assistant Director (Europe),
USIA, Washington, D.C. White states that the embassy has been contacted by "various Portuguese Government agencies and
high officials who arc much interested in undertaking some effective anti-communist propaganda." Thosc making conlict
include the "Police Internacional de Defensa do Estado" (PIDE) and the governmett-owned TV system. Recognizing their
own lack of knowledge and technical ability involving the production of TV shows, White notes that the Portuguese have
approached the embassy for assistance.
(U//A-K7J-el White observes thal embassy personnel agree the mos( effective formal for the series �vould be the "talc
deleclive" slor-y as developed for TV programs in the U.S. He recommends that Educational Exchange specialist grants be
used lo send two Porniguese TV producers lo the U.S. to siudy this particular lype of TV production in U.S. commercial
siudios. He also suggesis that a U.S. TV specialisl be sent to Portugal lo assist in the projecl when adual produclion begins.

(U// Li ) This thermometer chart provides a measure of completeness against the CIA records that must be revio d by 31
December 2010. These records include hardcopy CIA records dated 1985 and external referrals due in 2010 (i.e., "legacy").
These legacy referrals arc from the CIA Archives or Presidential Libraries (via the RAC Program). (Referrals for CIA at
NARA arc excluded due to the procedures of the National Declassification Initiative �vhich are controlling the review rates at
NARA). Though there are many tmccrlaintics due to the new EC) and establishment of the National Declassification Center
(N DC). based on current information, if these records arc not reviewed prior ID 31 December 2010, they arc at risk for
automatic declassification. In this case, the thermometer goes through 31 December 2010. The first chart reflects data
current through 11 January and includes 2010 deadline material processed in prior years. The second chart reflects
data current through 11 January and excludes 2010 deadline m,terial compkted prior to FY 2010.
(U// Al U ) The first three thermometers measure progress against certification for matcrial being processed manually or
accession to NARA or exemption) and via automated system (for delivery on CREST at NARA or via the RAC Program ID
the Presidential Libraries). Thc fourth thermometer measures overall progress (manual + automated). As in other "Thermo"
charts, the targets are above the thermometer; the current pages processed to date ("production") is provided below the
thermometer; the hci ermometer represents pages processed to date graphically: and at the right are tick marks that
divide the target into equal weekly sub-targets. The horizontal line ("slider") indicates the number of pages that
should be completed by the current week of the FY assum ir production rate. Above the slider is good; below
indicates more work to be done.

(U//A Declassification Services Branch
(Uritttf4)- Document Declassification Support System (DDSS)
(UHAIU0) This report covers the period 7 January through 13 January 2010. During this reporting period, the following
activities were ongoing:

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
OSD provided its second upload file on 11 January 2009. The DDSS team is using this file to validate the
anticipated efficiencies using the Pervasive data integration tool. The DDSS team has converted the data and
uploaded it into the DDSS integration system. There were issues with about 20% of the OSD accession numbers;
contacted OSD with options for resolution of the issues.
� U.S. AIR FORCE
Air Force provided its fifth upload file on 6 January 2010. The DDSS team is using this file to validate the
anticipated efficiencies using the Pervasive data integration tool. The DDSS team has converted the data and
uploaded it into the DDSS integration system. Data validation is underway.
� U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND
CENTCOM contacted the DDSS help desk to request training for eight persons to be conducted at CENTCOM

� Where to Send Referrals
Based on referrals in the second OSD upload file, the DDSS team has modified the "Where to Send Referrals"
document to include U.S. Africa Command (USAFRICOM), the Air Force's Air Mobility Command, and Army's
Army Materiel Command after obtaining concurrence from the affected agencies.
� DDSS System Maintenance
Global Communications Services successfully replaced a faulty central processing unit cooling fan on the DDSS test
database server.
The DDSS team has begun an effort to determine the impacts of upgrading to the current version of WebLogic on
the application server. GCS has indicated that this upgrade will need to be performed before support for the current
version expires, which is anticipated within the next year. This upgrade is expected to be challenging because of the
interaction of WebLogic with other integrated software. On the other hand, it is anticipated that the upgrade will
enable the query functionality to receive desired enhancements that are not feasible with the current version of
WebLogic.
� DDSS Data Maintenance
The DDSS team has analyzed DDSS data from the perspective of enhancing agencies' data in DDSS to make it more
useful for the National Declassification Center. The team has identified several key items for enhancement and work
is underway to implement the improvements. Army uploaded data at the folder level and the primary focus of the
team currently is to identify Army folders that are in the same box and assign them a unique box identification
number so that queries can be run on Army boxes. Also, the team is updating Army and Navy referrals with record
group numbers that are currently missing because they were not provided by the agencies in their record group
number field; those missing record group numbers may be embedded in other identifiers provided by those agencies,
such as accession numbers or folder identification numbers.
� DDSS Training
has scheduled the next DDSS training session at Archives II on 28 January for six persons from the
Department of Energy.
� DDSS Team Sharing Site
The DDSS team continues to coordinate with the Director of National Intelligence security office to establish a
DDSS team file sharing site on the DNI unclassified network (DNI-U).

reviewed the CADRE reports to determine whether or not any of them would be affected by the changes to the EO
exemptions.
� Met with the CADRE trainer to begin planning the contents of a new Case Management Reports Course for PIPD
managers. Began assembling materials describing each report in preparation for a meeting with the Chief/PIPD to
clarify her expectations and to determine which reports and queries managers currently use.
� Worked with a user who had questions about a document he was having trouble opening from a query hitlist.
Discovered that the document has a bad map file and needs to be re-OCRed. Created SRS-1860307, "Receive
Map-File Error When Attempting to Open Document C05375489", to address the issue.
� Assisted a user with a question on how to view comments in read-only documents. Looked up the existing DR on
this topic and advised the user to which release the DR is assigned.
� Completed User Acceptance Testing in Production on and passed CADRE-DR-09442, "Reports - Database Trigger
Update for Disposition and Subcode", working with a member of the O&M Team to ensure that no new problem
records have been created since the fix to the database triggers was deployed. Coordinated the closing of this DR
with the closing of two SRS tickets that were related to the DR.
� Met with a member of the O&M Team to discuss SRS-1836881, "CM - Provide a List of Documents for which the
"(b)" Exemption was Applied in FY 2008 or FY 2009" and SRS-1836878, "CM - Create a List of Burned
Documents for which the Manual Exemptions Do Not Match the Image-based Exemptions." The team member had
questions on the intent of the requests and how best to meet the user's needs.
� Based on discoveries made during user acceptance testing for CADRE Release 2.3.4, updated the description of
CADRE-DR-07053, "CM - Scan Request Printing," to include discrepancies with the way the Print and Print with
Options functions work.
� Began validation of a list of document provided in response to SRS-1820260, "CM - Create List of Documents with
at Least One Exemption and No Overlays." Discovered that the list included burned documents with parent
in-process documents that contain overlays and requested that these documents be removed prior to completing
validation of the documents.
