Neverth(!I0,, s, tl-here a11 :e legi..t imate q'uest:i.oas concerning the basic
of responsibilities of operating the program and th.e system for implementing
it. They are discussed below:
1. Role of State
Since the principal beneficiaries are Defense and CIA, should
State (a minor beneficiary) provide a major
part of the funding and other resources? One reason advanced in defense

of the present system is that the. collection and reporting of information
on, economic, political and social conditions abroad is a basic responsi-
bility of the Foreign Service,,, foreign maps and publications are a part
of tiiiS infor'mat:i.on. . However, it should be possi:i1 e to discharge the
responsibility or meeting the Government's basic map needs thr.uugh the
MPPO's at each post. it is the additional and highly technical require-
ments of CIA and DOD that necessitate the present organizational structure.
Foreign Service responsibility.
Dr. Burt claims that the MPPO's cannot meet the complex
objectives of his program and cites a recent incident in Cyprus, to prove
it (Tab D). A partial solution might be to strengthen MPPO capability
by training and to reemphasize map procurement activities as an important

This program furnishes a small but useful part of DOD's overall
map requi.rem nts. The Army opographi_calCommand has been reducing its
contribution to I:NPAC and. by FY 1972 may iiot be contributing even the
$1.5,000 left in the 1.971 budget.
There are many elements of Defense that have map r.equirernents.
The organizational structure of DOD would make it difficult for them to
-undertake the overt collection task on as centralized a basis as is done at
present. Also it would give them another function now performed by Embassy
personnel. But Department of Defense civilians, if requested, could carry
out the responsibilities.

4 . Role of 1 iIPAC
Under central direction the requirements of all contributing
agencies are amalgamated and reviewed. 'Dr. Burt states that through IMPAC
most efficient use of they specialized talent of attaches can be made for benefit
of all. agencies and the confusion that previously existed has been eliminated.
State would have to pay more for the. maps it obtains if collection were not made
on a joint interagency basis or in the alternative do without them. The part

5.' Alternative, to present method of fundilig.
-
a . Additional support of the program by other agencies.
State could seek rei.,mbur:semeGtii. from CIA, Defense and other
agencies for support rendered. The problem here is that salaries and
expense are already in State's base, since the function is recognized as
a Foreign Service responsibility.
In 1953 CIA proposed to the NSC that it (CIA) would finance
the publications procurement program. -ThO. Director of the Bureau of the
Budget advised CIA that such an action "could be construed as a subversion
of Congressional intent with respect to State Depar'tmeat activities and
until sucl-1 time as it is recognized that the State Department no longer
has this responsibility, I do not believe that I could approve financing
positions for the function by any other agency." A postscript stated that
the Senate Appropriations Committee was requiring all agencies to disclose
reimbursements and justify them indicating their interest in this matter.
CIA's proposal was based on NSC Intelligence Directive
251C No. 16 (3/7/53) which authorizes the Director of CIA to insure the 25X1C
coordination of the procurement of foreign language publications for
intelligence purposes.

Defense now contributes only .$15,000 toward col .ect.ion expense, plus
$26,000 to the purcl'hase fund.

affairs function, contribution could be sought from CIA and l.)Oi) elements on

take the same, position today that it did in 1.953, i.e., that r'ei.mbursemeat
would subvert Congressional intent.. however, BOB might insist on taking
out of State's base an amount equal to the reim6urseme1at. from Other Z.iitT:C::LC':3.

New Delhi and Tehran Assessment by INR indicates that
significant achievements at New Delhi were a few
central contacts. Now that they are established, they
can be cultivated sufficiently by periodic visits. The
INR justification does not indicate that new, important
sources could be established, but primarily that
established sources should be continued. If based in
Washington, both the New Delhi and. Tehran geographical
attaches would spend about half their time in travel
