SUBJECT:
Establishment of a Management Improvement Program
In response to your request of 1 December 1970 the following is
I Icontribution to Sections I and II of the Management
Improvement rogram:
25X1
Section I - Management Effectiveness Goals
1. A pro ram to eliminate the second copy of black and white maps from
I freference collection has been implemented and will over the
next Fiscal ear provide a savings in several specific areas including pro-
curement and reproduction costs, cataloging time, filing time and the elimina-
tion of the need to obtain additional map filing cases.
2. As computer storage of map bibliographic data increases, greater
emphasis will be placed on the computer production of specialized listings of
maps which will facilitate both customer and reference access to bibliographic
data.
Section II - Cost-Reduction Goals
1. Provide computer produced collection support data for the foreign
collection program. By the end of Fiscal Year 1971 the Map Bibliographic
Data System should contain data on map related publications as well as maps.
The capability to produce listings in support of procurement should reduce
Desk Officer semi-professional time by approximately 20% or one man year.
Savings will result in the redirection of professional time to more compre-
hensive and intensive activity which will be reflected in better service to
map users.
2. The steps taken in late 1970 with regard to reduction in the supple-
mental distribution stocks of CIA produced maps held in the Archives and
Records Center represent a more effective management of
map stocks. Although devised and implemented prior to F1sca'L Year , e
actions taken will nevertheless have an effect in Fiscal Year 1971 and 25X1

definitely represent an increase in efficiency and cost reduction. It is
anticipated that the 50 percent reduction goal of the Executive Director-
Comptroller will have been reached, and although the savings will not directly
benefit the DDI, they obviously represent considerable savings of storage
space to the DDS.
