WASHINGTON, D. C.
MEMORANDUM 16 May 1944-
T o -, 25X1A
From: Projects Committee
Subject. Recommendation Concerning Responsibility
Lines in Janis Publications.
The Committee has received a memorandum from
the Far East Division urging strongly that in each of
the chapters of the Janis that are issued separately there
should be a specific statement indicating the immediate
source of the material, namely, the agency primarily
responsible for submitting the draft of that chapter. The
Committee unanimously supports this recommendation and
urges that it should be presented to the proper authorities
f rn instructions to the JISPB.
The Janis publication on any area is issued in
chapters that are bound separately and may circulate
separately. Each of these carries a title, "Joint Army-
Navy Intelligence Study", but only on the first chapter
is there any indication of any work produced by OSS.
Further, the reader is, in any case, ignorant as to the
immediate source for each chapter.
Our specific suggestion is that each chapter
should display either at the beginning or end of its
table of contents a statement worded somewhat as follows:
"Edited and published by the Joint Intelligence Study
Publishing Board from draft submitted by the Office of
Strategic Services (or the Office of Naval Intelli ence
etc.)." g s
It is our understanding from Lieutenant
that the Janis Board has decided that hereafter maps and
photos will carry the serial numbers and responsibility
lines of the offices submitting them in order that
interested agencies may be able to order separate copies
directly.
