Meetings, Last meeting, June 1962
Activities during FY 1965 and First Half FY 1966
Reviewed one substantive paper on an informal basis, "Prospects for
Soviet Agriculture in 1970" prepared by CIA with contributions from USDA,
reviewed by State and USDA. In most cases there has been substantial
agreement on agricultural production statistics of Communist countries.
Specialists from State, A~ricultur.e, and CIA regularly discuss the effects
of weather on crop production in the Communist countries.
During the first half of FY 1966 the subcommittee reviewed, by interim
action,, and commented favorably on a proposed CIA-sponsored external
research project, "Cuban Sugar Production in 1970. " "4
In spite of the lack of activity on a formal basis, close and frequent
interagency collaboration on an informal basis on matters of mutual interest
has proved to be highly effective.

The dynamic nature of intelligence production in the field of petroleum
and ad hoc narrowly-focussed types of intelligence problems which have
been posed to members of the subcommittee in recent years suggests that,.
only rarely, are there items of priority interest which concern more than
one or two members of the subcommittee simultaneously. The process of
preparing and coordinating the most recent issue of the series, "Military
Consumption of Petroleum Products, Communist Countries, 1962-63."
the major contribution to the community in recent years, involved directly
DIA. With the exception of one or two elements, the "Agreed Basic Statistics"
have reflected only estimates by CIA. The community has not called on the
subcommittee to provide coordinated jointly-produced estimates. Because
;there has been no call on the subcommittee from external consumers and
because of limited interest by all member agencies in the current problems
of a particular few member agencies, there is some doubt as to the current
utility of the subcommittee.

Evaluation of the Role of the Subcommittee
The subcommittee believes that its activities provide a useful means
for coordinating the research on population and manpower within the
intelligence community and for eliminating duplication of effort. The sub-
committee also serves a useful function in acquainting its members and
their agencies with research problems, techniques, and findings on problems
of mutual concern.
