(17/A ITO) Progress Towards the 31 Dec 2012 Deadline
(UPAIU ) The thermometer chart below provides a measure of completeness against the CIA records that must be reviewed
by 31 December 2012. These records include hardcopy CIA records dated 197, special media dated thin 1982 and external
referrals due in 2012. Thc referrals reflect certification of CIA Archive material or Presidential Libraries (via the RAC
Program). (Referrals for CIA at National Declassification Center�NDC--are excluded due to the NDC procedures. NDC
now controls the review deadlines at NARA per the ED but has not yet formally established these deadlines for NARA
material). Based on current information, if the records included below are not reviewed prior to 31 December 2012, they are
at risk for automatic declassification. In this case, the thermometer goes through 31 December 2012. The first chart reflects
data current through 7 Jan and includes CV 2012 deadline material processed in the current kind prior FYs. The
second chart reflects data current through 7 Jan kind excludes 2012 deadline material completed prior to FY 2012. (J.
(U/ii+t7t1"1 The first three thermometers measure progress against certification for material being processed manually for
accession to NARA or exemption) and via automated system (for delivery on CREST at NARA or via the RAC Program to
the Presidential Libraries). The fourth thermometer measures overall progress (manual E. automated). As in other "Thermo"
charts, the targets are above the thermometer; the current pages processed to date is provided below the thermometer the
iglu of the thermometer represents pages processed to date graphically; and at the right are tick marks that divide the target
into equal weekly sub-targets. The hori/ontal line ("slider) indicates the number of pages that should be
completed by the current \yea( of the FY assuming a linear production rate. Above the slider is good; below indicates more
ivork to be done.
(U/ You ma notice that the target numbers at the top of the thermometers may change from week to week. This is
due in general to the targets being estimates that are refined during the year as detailed review progresses. For example, page
count estimates can change since microfilm estimates are often difficult to make prior to detailed review. This can add or
subtract from the original target estimates. In another situation, certain records that are initially assigned to the automated
category undergo a pre-review ("triage") and may be moved from the automated to the manual category. Last, but not least,
some pages can drop out of the 2012 due date counts completely, once the records get processed and the final determination
deems they are due in a year other than 2012. (Note that unprocessed records are assigned automatic declassification dates
based on data in the SMART2 retired records database and related databases in the NCS.)

� CWE Tip 0' the Week � are you familiar with your Quick Launch toolbar? This is a tool which makes it easier to access
your favorite programs with just one click. Programs such as IE or FF, Word, and even CADRE can be placed on your Quick
Launch bar. To activate it, just right-click on your Windows taskbar, scroll to the "toolbars" option, and check the "Quick
Launch" option. Any shortcuts to programs you have on your desktop can be dragged and dropped onto the toolbar. The
convenience of this is that if you have a lot of windows open covering your desktop and want to open something else, instead
of minimizing all your work, you can just open it from the Quick Launch bar. See the CDC Help Desk for more details!
� nstances of corrupted MS Access 2003 5P2 were reported and fixed this week.
� CDC Help Desk opened zero 25Y and one CM CADRE-related ESMT tickets. No AIN tickets were needed. Zero
STAIRS tickets were opened. No CWE profile resets were needed. One hardware issue for a bad video card was turned in.
� CDC Help Desk submitted six AADS requests for CWE account renewals and one CWE account transfer.
� CDC Help Desk assisted six users with their annual CWE/Notes/CADRE/ST password renewals.
