A. Summary of Suggestion
Suggester proposed that a lost and found department be established
in each Agency building, for personal articles of Agency personnel.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 3 February 1959, the Office of Security advised that U.S. Government
regulations governing lost and found articles state:
"Articles found in buildings shall be turned in immediately to the
Guard Office. Proper record shall be kept of the receipt and
disposition of articles turned in ti
On 18 May 1959, Executive Assistant to the Deputy Director (Support),
sent a memorandum to the Director of Logistics
stating:
"We have been requested by the Office of Personnel to bring to
the attention of all employees information about the Agency Lost
and Found Department.
"We do not feel that this is appropriate for publication as an
'All Employees' notice and believe the purpose would be served
by the addition of an entry in the Functional portion of the
Telephone Directory: 'Lost and Found Department'. The first
Telephone Directory that includes this entry should have an
accompanying flyer calling this information to the attention of
all employees."

A. Summary of Suagestion
Suggester proposed that a stamp be used by RID/FI on folders
containing dispatches, stating: "Do not enclose or attach any
material to this folder". At the time the suggestion was made,
RID filed cover sheets and dispatches apart from bulky attach-
ments. Requesters returning such files to RID usually placed
the dispatch file inside the bulky folder and both folders were
inadvertently filed together -- consequently there were many lost.
B. Summary of Evaluations
25X1A On 3 April 1959, Chief, RID stated:
"The procedure outlined in the suggestion is no longer in
effect, having been changed early in February. Transmittal
document and bulky attachment are filed together in standard
fiber folder. A non-charge-out reference sheet refers the
searcher to the bulky fiber folder located directly in back
of the case file folder. Although this procedure was developed
as a result of this suggestion&the problems of the old system
were brought to my attention by the suggester, it is recommended
that no award be given the suggester in this case. RID con-
siders this to be a part of the suggester's duties. However,
the suggester is being given a commendation by RID."

an attempt to increase the efficiency of the Offset Pressmen.
B. Summary of Evaluations
STATINTL On 11 February 1959, Chief, Admin Staff, OL, stated:
STATINTL
"The suggestion .... has been adopted in ... Printing Services
Division.
"The marking tab is a form placed on each signature of work run
by the letterpressman showing the job number, signature number,
whether imprints have to be run by the offset pressman and other
Information. When prints have to be run, the offset pressman
has to unload the entire stack of signatures to find what colors
he will have to use and to put all like colors together. When
the color is written on the marking tab 5s suggestee he has
only to glance at the tab, pick out all the material to be run
in one color, process it, and go on to the next color....
9 ... It is estimated that 17 plates can now be run in the time it used
to take to run 16 plates. In addition to the extra plate which
is run, the suggestion is a convenience to the offset pressmen and
improves morale. ..."

A. Summary of Sumestion
The suggester proposed a method of systematizing procedures
in the mail room in Curie Hall. The old method was to have the
pigeon holes for the various buildings (outgoing mail) and
individual Curie Hall rooms mixed in together in no particular
order. The new method is to have the outgoing mail in one
section in order of delivery, and the Curie Hall mail in another
section in order of room and floor.
The suggester also proposed that the mail courier's brief
case, used for hand delivery of mail, have the dividers labeled
by delivery point.
B. Summary of Evaluations
Chief, Administrative Staff, OL, stated:
(1) that Curie Hall mail post is the only one with this problem;
(2) the suggested procedure has been put into effect in Curie
Hall; and (3) the benefits are in the Slight-Limited category.

9 March 1959
Suggester proposed that identification cards be placed in front
of the silverware trays. This would eliminate the. "confusion, anger,
and consequent delay in the lunch line due to the fact that the de-
sired utensils cannot be found quickly."
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 17 February 1959, Chief, Admin Staff, OL,
stated:
"The Director of Cafeterias, GSI, was contacted regarding the
suggester's recommendations that cards be placed next to
soupspoons, knives, etc. in the RaS Cafeteria. The Director
explained that the 'silver dip' method of washing silverware
is utilized in this particular cafeteria. This method necessi-
tates the use of a deep metal container and human hands do not
touch the silverware from the time it is placed in the container
before washing until the nextcustomer eventually takes it from
the counter. The metal container used for this method makes
it difficult for the customer to identify and pick up the de-
sired silverware.
"This suggestion has been made to the GSI Director by others
in the past and attempts have been made to label the containers
but difficulty has been encountered in devising a permanent
label or marking.
STATINTL
"While satisfactory permanent labels are being worked out,
temporary labels are being placed on the counter near the silver-
ware container in the RS Cafeteria as a result of this suggestion.
"It is recommended that a modest cash award be given this suggester
based on saving of Agency employee's time in the RS Cafeteria
food line."

The suggester proposed that the Administration Building
Plant of PSD salvage dross from the melted lead and return
it to GPO for re-use.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 11 February 1959, Chief, Admin Staff,
OL, stated:
"The suggestion . . has been reviewed and adopted in
the Administration Building Plant, Printing Services
Division.
"Lead used on the linotype machines is property of the
Government Printing Office and the Agency pays only for
the use of it. After the lead is used it must be melted
down and returned to the GPO. The lead is reprocessed
and reused many times. When the lead is melted down the
dross, which contains the most valuable part of the metal,
was previously skimmed off and thrown away. This dross
is now skimmed off, put into a container and returned to
the GPO to be used in reprocessing the metal.
"It is estimated that approximately 40 pounds of dross is
salvaged per week. The dross is worth about 7 a pound.
Although this is not a direct savings to the Agency it is
a savings to the government and it is recommended that an
award be given to the suggester for his idea."

A. Summary of Suggestion
Suggester proposes a screen angle determiner for use in the
Layout Section of PSD. This tool is made of plastic; it describes
a half circle with four calibrated lines set at distances of 300.
The purpose is to improve the method of registering screens.
(Sample in suggestion folder)
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 12 February 1959, Chief, Admin Staff, OL,
stated:
"The suggestion to use a screen angle determiner for registration
of screens has been adopted in the Printing Services Division.
This device was made available to employees working on registra?
tion of screens and is being used by some of them. It is pointed
out that craftsmen may elect to use the triangle in setting the
anble of the screen if they prefer. The triangle has been used
for this purpose for many years and produces the same result.
The screen angle determiner made by the suggester is a standard
180 degree scale with lines drawn in for the various colors.
It is not a new idea ? only a different method which can be used
in registering screens."
On 27 March 1959,, Chief, TSS/GARD, stated:
"TSS/GARD has been using a protractor to determine screen angle
for a number of years. The idea of drawing and marking, as such,
color lines for the proper angle is not new and has, as a matter?
of?fact, been available in some countries on the commerical market."

A. Summary of Suggestion
2 February 1959
Suggester proposed the installation of a thermofax
machine in the Library of Congress for the use of CIA per-
sonnel.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 7 January 1959, , CIA Library, stated:
"The original suggestion called for the installation of a
Thermofax machine in the Library of Congress for use by
Agency staff (specifically Library staff). Considering
the equipment and installation costs (required 220 volt
line) the CIA Library substituted another device for the
Thermofax equipment - a Polaroid Copying camera. We
appreciate the merit of this suggestion, it has been most
useful in calling our attention to the problem. It is
difficult to evaluate this suggestion on the basis of its
monetary benefit - the use made of this equipment up to
the present time has not been great enough to make a
sound judgement.
"In our continuing effort to improve the services we are
constantly planning to test new equipment for this problem.
For example, a new rapid dry process photo reproduction
device is being developed. As soon as we have a pilot
model, it will be tested. This program has no application
to the original suggestion, however. It is mentioned only
as related information."
25X1A On 13 January 1959, for the ODD/It stated:
"Contrary to the Library's view I feel that the installa-
tion of a Polaroid Camera and the possibility of later
installing more advanced reproduction devices stem from
the suggestion under consideration. While its true tangible
benefits cannot be measured in this instance the effects of
the suggestion are susceptible to evaluation on the intangible
scale and I would, therefore, recommend $25.00 under the
slight benefit, limited application category."

A. Summary of Sumestion,
Suggester proposed that the barrier and/or adjacent door
entrance to 1124 "MM Building restricted area be modified as a
safety precaution. At the time of the suggestion, the approach
from each side of the barrier was so constructed that it was
extremely difficult for persons approaching the turn?style from
one side of the barrier to see persons approaching from the
other side.
B. Summary of Evaluations
STATINTL On 29 July 1958, for Chief, Special
Intelligence Security Branch, OCI, stated:
"The suggestion concerning the modification of the North
Barrier door in 'M' Building has been reviewed by this
office. This barrier was established to facilitate access
to the Special Center for personnel requiring to work in the
front areas of 'M' Building. It has been noted that in most
instances the traffic flow is in a one?way pattern -- IN at
the start of the day, OUT and IN at lunch?time, and OUT in
the evening. While it may be difficult to approach the
turnstile and see a person on the other side, it does require
the employee to slow down to a normal pace and it permits
the guard on duty to ascertain the person's authorization to
enter or leave the area by an inspection of his Agency Badge,
which is the primary purpose for the turnstile. Other than
a malfunctioning of the release mechanism or failure of the
person to identify himself properly, no personal injury would
result from entering or leaving in a normal manner. During
an evacuation of the building the double corridor doors beside
the turnstile areopen, thus this control point presents no
safety hazard.
While the suggester should be commended for interest
in this matter, the recommended modifications are deemed
inadviseable from a security viewpoint."

A. Summary of Suggestion
Proposed that attachments and/or revisions to any document or
set of documents or papers be set up on the same format as the
original document. It cites, as an example, the present method
whereby attachments to the original Chart of Allotment Accounts
FY 1959 are being received in a format different from the
original chart.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 4 September 1958, Chief, Technical Accounting Staff, Office of
the Comptroller stated:
"It is general practice in the Agency that revisions
to controlled issuances, such as Agency regulations,
Comptroller Instructions, Handbooks, etc., be issued
in the same format as the original document, whereas
the format of attachments may vary according to the
subject matter covered. In this case, however, the
attachments cited are listings of project cost codes
issued by the various area divisions as separate
documents, but treated by most recipients as supple-
mental information to that presented in the original
chart of allotment accounts.
"It is deemed desirable to treat these listings as
supplemental information and as such some benefit
will be derived by having them presented on a
standard format suitable for filing with the basic
document to which they relate. Since this benefit,
however, has only a very small tangible value, the
suggestion is recommended for consideration of an
award based on intangible benefits evaluated as
'slight' and having limited application."

A. Summary of Suggestion
Suggester proposes that persons reviewing documents in the
course of running RI name traces should be instructed to detach
all duplicate copies which have been retained with the RI record
copy -- these extra copies to be destroyed by the office Area
Records Officer, returned to RI for destruction, or forwarded
to the original action desk for destruction.
B. Summary of Evaluation
On 26 September 1958,
Chief, RID, stated:
"The subject suggestion has been reviewed in the
Records Integration Division and although it touches
upon a basic records management principle, is con-
sidered to possibly merit a nominal award.
"The destruction of duplicate copies of a record
document is an established records management
principle and RID has practiced this principle
over a number of years in connection with its
records maintenance. Therefore, this suggestion
has no applicability to RID. However, RID also
recognizes that not all individuals are records
experts and cannot be expected to be acquainted
with even the basic records fundamentals.
"On the basis of the above comments, RID will
issue an appropriate notice and recommends a
nominal award to the suggester of subject sug-
gestion. Any benefits to be gained by this
suggestion would be of an intangible nature
and difficult to estimate."
C. Action Taken
On 17 December 1958, Chief, RID issued a memorandum with subject
"Destruction of Extra Copies of CS Record Documents". A copy of
memorandum is attached.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Records Administration Officer
SUBJECT Destruction of Extra Copies of CS Record
Documents
1. The purpose of this memorandum in to bring to your
attention a records management principle of long standing: the
destruction of extra copies of record documents when such
documents have been processed, action has been completed, and
the documents are ready for permanent filing. This principle,
when applied, serves the management of records by reducing the
amount of papers accumulated and maintained, and eliminates the
need for screening files upon retirement.
2. In view of the fact that all personnel are not records
specialists; that Staffs and Divisions retain and maintain
official CS files; and that there is a rapid turnover of per-
sonnel, it is desirable that the above principle-be reasserted
on occasion.
3. It has been RID policy to romovi and destroy, when
identified, the second, third, or more copies of a record docu-
ment when such a document has been returned to RID for filing.
It is to be pointed out, however, that duplicate copies of a
record document may be used for filing in related files under
cross-referencing procedures.. When this is done the duplicate
copy becomes a record copy to the file in which deposited; it
does not become or replace the official CS record copy of the
document.
4. Personnel of the Senior Staffs and Ars Divisions not

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CHAIRMAN
3 February 1959
SUGGESTION NO. 59-96: dated 17 September 1958
GS-3, Bindery Operator
Printing Services Division, OL, DD/8
A. Summary of Suggestion
Suggester proposed that a "Singer" type machine be purchased
for use in the Bindery printing plants of the Agency.
B. Summary of Evaluations
The Office of Logistics is the only section of the Agency which
can make use of such a device. On 5 January 1959,
Chief, Admin Staff, OL, stated:
"The purchase of such a machine would eliminate hand whip-
stitching or hand sewing of single sheets of paper into
books. In binderies where the volume of this work is heavy,
it could be used to the best advantage if a tape feeder
attachment were used with the machine. Without the tape
feeder attachment the single sheets are sewn into sections
and then hand sewn into books. With the attachment the tape
is mechanically sewn onto a section of single sheets, and
the tapes are glued together and form a book ready for binding.
"Steps are being taken to purchase a machine with a tape
feeder attachment as described above. It is not planned to
purchase a machine without the attachment. This is not a
new idea in the printing field but it will be adopted in the
Administration Building Plant as a result of this suggestion.
It has been estimated that the machine with the tape attachment
will cost $400.00. To date it has not been possible to procure
the exact machine desired but it is hoped to do so in the near
future. However, there is a possibility that the machine will
not be purchased for a year or more.
"Since monetary savings will be practically negligible, it
is recommended that the suggester be given a small cash award
based on the following: Degree of Benefit - Slight, Extent
of Application - Limited."

BE, DD/0
A. Summary of Suoqestion
Suggester proposed the purchase and Agency use of Base-Lock
Type sets. These would allow offices to set-up rubber stamps
for their peculiar needs.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 22 October 1958, Chief, Admin Staff, OL, stated:
"There are a number of sets presently in stock but they are
a controlled item for the use of the Office of Communications
MIX."
Evaluations by the DD/0 revealed that the of BE was
the only element which could make use of the stamps and the
technique outlined in the suggestion.
25X1A On 1 December 1958, Deputy Chief, Sup-
port Staff, BE, stated:
"The estimates of savings of time and money outlined in the
suggestion may be taken as valid for the and
the suggestion evaluated accordingly."
The suggester estimated a branch saving of 832 hours per year, or
$1,248.
C. Discussion
This suggestion was closed out because it proposed a supply item
and can be ordered through normal Administrative channels. The
suggester contested this decision stating that the hours saved in
his branch were a direct result of his suggestion and these hours
would not have been saved otherwise.
An informal discussion with the Chairman prompted his request to
have this case brought up at the next Minimal Awards Committee
Meeting for table discussion.

A. Summary of Sumestiork
Suggester proposed that briefings of new personnel, conducted
by the CIA Safety Officer, include specific details of emergency
drills (fire, air raid, etc.)
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 10 December 1958, Chief, Training Branch,
Office of Security, stated:
"...The fact that this employee's suggestion was made at this
time has stimulated the Office of Security to take under
serious consideration the expansion of its coverage of safety
in the regular Security Indoctrination Program given to all
employees after they are fully processed and fully cleared.
It is very likely that within the next sixty to ninety days
at least ten (10) minutes in the Security Indoctrination Program
will be devoted to this subject in the hope that the deficiencies
noted in the suggester's remarks can be remedied. For this
reason I would say that the suggester has made a contribution
in the sense of providing a stimulus for greater safety education
to be undertaken by the Office of Security. All things considered,
the suggestion has made a contribution, the exact benefits of
which, however, must necessarily be labeled intangible for the
time being."
STATINTL On 4 February 1959, office informed SAS that this
information was being given at 80D Security Indoctrination as a
direct result of this suggestion.

A. Summary of Suggestion
Suggester proposes that the Agency shuttle bus stop now
located just east of the North Building driveway entrance on
E Street be relocated to a point at the base of the North
Building steps approximately 100 feet west of the driveway.
B. Summary of Evaluation
On 2 December 1958, Chief, Administrative Staff, OL stated:
"Relocation of the bus pickup point, as proposed
will eliminate the dangerous practice of personnel
ascending and descending the driveway as the most
expedient route between North Building and the bus
stop on E Street.
"The Chief, Transportation Division, Office of Log-
istics) concurs in this suggestion and advises that
the relocation of the shuttle bus stop will not
interfere with the movement of normal E Street
traffic at that point.
"Adoption of this suggestion will result in an
intangible safety benefit for all individuals
utilizing the Agency shuttle bus service. It is
therefore recommended that the suggester be given
a nominal cash award.
"In the interest of safety, this suggestion has been
adopted. All E Street Agency bus traffic will, hence-
forth, make the stop at the base of the North Building
stairway in lieu of the stop east of the North Building
driveway."

A. Summary of Suggestion
20 November 1958
Some field stations experience difficulty in obtaining
copies from Apeco and similar office copying machines because
the paper dries out before use. Suggester developed and pro-
posed the use of a humidity chamber for these particular locations.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 26 June 1958, DD/P-I&R, stated:
"It is evident from the suggestion and the evaluations re-
ceived that the problem is not a large one which would
warrant the Logistics Division developing such a piece of
equipment for world wide use. It is, however, evident that
the problem has been encountered in at least one isolated
case and so may exist in other stations where the climate
is hot and dry.
"The suggester did not suggest the creation of a piece of
equipment, he merely suggested that his solution be dis-
seminated to those who might use it. This being the case
it would seem that the suggestion is valid and that the
Logistics Division should prepare an explanation of how to
cope with the problem if it is encountered. This explana-
tion should then be made available to those divisions whose
stations would be likely to encounter the problem. With the
solution given, those stations who had need of the equipment
could have it constructed locally. As this piece of equip-
ment is explaindd, it could be constructed any place in the
world at little cost and would be valuable to those who need
it. So, if in fact, the information is disseminated as an
aid, then it is felt that the suggester should be given con-
sideration for a monetary award. It is believed this award
should be at least $25.00.
The SUPPORT BULLETIN explains this technique in the September-
October 1958 issue, under the title "Printing Services Tips".

stated:
25X1A
25X1A
"Although the specific recommendations made in Suggestion 58-462
are not recommended for adoption, this paper was partly respon-
sible for a recently undertaken study of current procedures,
and it was directly responsible for the attention that has been
given to the problems of the automatic desensitizing process. We
believe that this study and the accompanying re-evaluation of
present practices will result in several procedural modi-
fications and, possibly, in our virtually abandoning the potentially
troublesome automatic desensitizing scheme. In bringing certain
undesirable features of present practices to light the author of
Suggestion 58-462 performed a useful function, but his part in
the development of the expected improvements was one of pointing
out an area of difficulty rather than one of supplying remedies."

SUGGESTION NO. 58-564: dated 19 May 1958
, GS-11, Asst. Accountant
Office of Comptroller, DD/S
A. Summary of Suggestion
Suggester proposes that the Agency provide a training course
for the retirement of records to Records Center.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 5 August 1958, Acting Chief, Records Management Staff,
, stated:
"Training in the mechanics and procedures for retiring records
is necessary. Such training is ordinarily handled by the Area
Records Officer. If that Officer cannot devote time to such
training, employees charged with records retirement duty should
apply through their ARO for instruction by Records Management
Staff members.
STATINTL
"Experience indicates that the skills involved in the work of
records retirement can be more effectively taught in an 'on-the-
job' situation rather than in the classroom. These skills in-
clude proper identification of records to be retired, preparation
of necessary forms, and packing and labeling records center boxes.
The number of persons needing this type of instruction would vary
to such an extent in any given period of time and for any given
office that it would not be feasible to schedule a regular course.
In particular, identifying records for retirement, and applying
Records Control Schedules, are skills which cannot be acquired
to any degree except from experience and close association with
the records involved. In a discussion of this suggestion with
its originator, she inferred that these skills were the ones least
acquired by enough people. To this we can only repeat, 'Experience
is the best teacher'.
"We therefore do not recommend adoption of a formal training
course in records retirement. However, we most certainly will
appraise the work of Area Records Officers to determine if
adequate written instructions and on-the-job training for records
retirement are being furnished. The suggester should be commended
for her interest in this vital aspect of the Agency's Records
Management Program."

A. Summary of Sucoestion
In an attempt to increase the efficienty of Agency collectors
of the Agency's Travel Folder Program, the suggester proposed that
the technique of mnemonics be applied.
B. Summary of Evaluations
Comments of Special Assistant to AD/ORR , Chief, A&E/OTR
25X1A and Chief, Intelligence Information Staff
reveal:
1. CIA does not have employees reporting under this program --
CIA's responsibilities are for the coordination of the program
and increasing its effectiveness.
25X1A 2. Most US diplomats devise their own systems for briefing
themselves. These systems vary according to the individual's
training, experience and inclination.
3. The use of mnemonics is only one system of many suitable
systems.
25X1A
25X1A
4. Generally, in the trip?preparation phase of collection, the
traveler has a very limited amount of time in which to brief
himself and must concentrate on the targets which are of
primary interest to his parent agency. He is already famil?
iar with general requirements on these targets; the brief
serves to point out ppecific gaps. If the technique of mnemonics
were applied to the process of recalling these specific gaps,
the reporting officer would then be faced with the problem of
remembering a formula for associating requirements with targets.
5. Reporting personnel think that the introduction into the brief?
ing process of an artificial aid, such as code words, would add
unprofitably to the burden of preparation and could crowd out
the knowledge which must be recalled later.

6. One officer gave it as his opinion that the practical advan-
tages of the mnemonics technique should be pointed out to all
officers taking training in observational reporting, with the
degree of application being left to the individual.
On 2 October 1958, 0/DDI, stated:
"This suggestion would appear to have some merit and ORR will
do what it can to urge its adoption by the appropriate agencies
in the Government. If adopted, the results will at best be
intangible, at least insofar as deciding on an award. My off-
the-cuff suggestion would be about $20 but am certainly amenable
to modifying that slightly either way depending upon what the
whole Committee thinks."

A. Summary of Sugaestion
Suggester proposes that Form 1158, Cash Voucher, be revised
to eliminate the present hazard of providing an opportunity for
the person handling funds to make unauthorized disbursements.
B. Summary of Evaluation
On 30 September 1958, Chief, TAS,
9 stated: 25X1A
"The voucher form may be used either for cash receipts or
cash disbursements. With respect to disbursements, it
serves (a) when receipts are not obtainable, (b) when several
expenditures of alike nature are combined as a single entry,
(c) when it is necessary to provide a more complete explana-
tion of a transaction, etc.
"This form as presently designed does not provide for a total
of the voucher or a citing of the amount disbursed adjacent
to the signature of the person making the payment, so it
would be possible, as stated by the suggester, for an entry
to be added to the voucher after the payment was made and
signed for by the case officer. Steps are being taken to
revise the form and correct the deficiency.
"There is an element of internal control over allotments that
might preclude anyone from raising the disbursements at least
in any large amounts. All expenditures made at the station
are reflected in the allotment control record against the
applicable allotment, which the Chief of Station is respon-
sible for; he in turn looks to the case officer on the project
to be responsible for the regular operating activities. If
any large amounts were added to the vouchers by the person
maintaining the cash journal and allotment records, etc., it
would be obvious to the case officer during the course of
reference to the allotment records, or the Chief of Station
might sight the addition in his review of the accountings
at the end of the month when being certified to headquarters,
and would cause a check to be made of the details."

A. Summary of Suqqestion
Suggester proposes posting instructions to explain the process
for making positive-negatives near all auto-stat machines.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 23 October 1958, Chief, Admin Staff/OL,
stated: 25X1A
"Service contracts are not let for Verifax and Auto-Stat
machines because of the small number of machines in the Agency
(9 Verifax and 12 Auto-Stats). However, within a matter of a
few hours, representatives of either manufacturer of these
machines are available for service or instructional purposes.
In addition, these machines are, in general, under the con-
trol of personnel who are sufficiently experienced in the
use of same.
"It has been further determined that an instruction booklet
is with each machine at the time of delivery as well as a
company representative to give specific instructions for
obtaining best results from the machine.
"The Building Supply Officer has been requested to ensure that
an instruction booklet accompanies each Auto-Stat and Verifax
machine at the time of delivery and to place in the immediate
vicinity of each machine a poster which spells out step by
step instructions for its proper operation."

advised:
1. The operating area of the housing, which surrounds the
driving belts of the 3 Fairbanks?Morse generators, has
been covered with a wire mesh screening at an approxi?
mate cost of $30.00 each.
2. These generators are merely used as stand?by equipment
in case of power failures. They are, of course, tested
once a week -- run for about one hour by engineers who
know the equipment.
3. Although there is also a pipe railing around the genera?
tors which would keep personnel from getting too close
to the driving belts. The added precaution of wire mesh
around the housing was considered advisable by Mr. John
of the Safety Office at Headquarters, when he
was shown this equipment by

A. Summary of Suggestion
Suggester proposes that maps and atlases be placed in the
microfilm reading room in "M" Bldg. as ready reference for
analysts using this room.
B. Summary of Evaluations
On 8 September 1958, CIA Librarian,
stated: STATINTL
"The Library believes the suggestion is probably a valid one.
However, we doubt if you could find two people to agree on
which maps and Atlas' are considered best for a particular
area. The Microfilm Reading Room is relatively small, and
because of the purpose for which it is used, not too well
lighted. Any maps and Atlas' used would almost necessarily
have to be of sufficient size to make their reading possible
under these conditions.
"Nevertheless, the Library has placed in the microfilm
reading room the following large wall maps:
Russian map of the USSR (8' x 6')
Army Map Service map of the world (4' x 6')
Air Force map of the world (3' x
It has also placed on a small table in the room a Hammond
Atlas and a Lippincott Gazeteer."
On 17 October 1958, DD/I Admin, stated:
"Rather than have ORR and other users comment on this sug?
gestion directly, I asked the Library to obtain comments from
as many people as possible who use the microfilm facilities
and in addition made use of the maps or atlases. In a trial
period extending over several weeks, the Library was unable
to find one person who had occasion to use these reference
tools. Therefore, I think in the light Of things we have gone
about as far as we can go with the suggestion. The Library
has placed a few selected maps, etc. in the Microfilm Reading
Room and, therefore, did adopt the suggestion to a limited
extent."

GS-7, Secretary-Steno

Policy Planning Staff, OC, DD/S
A. Summary of Suggestion
Suggesters propose that all document numbers and dates be
typed on the bottom right-hand corner of all documents. The
present system is to type these numbers at the top Of the page,
causing difficulty in locating proper documents when in the
middle of an acco-fastened file or when hole-punching takes out
all or part of the number.
B. Summary of Evaluation
On 29 October 1958, Chief, Records Management Staff,
stated:
"This Staff canvassed several Operating Offices and the Office
of Training to determine whether this suggestion should be
established as a standard Agency practice. It was the con-
sensus that both the need for a file reference in the lower
right-hand corner and whether it should be typed or written
should be left to the discretion of personnel responsible for
files.
"We concur in this consensus for the following reasons:
a. The originator of a document (or his secretary) is not in
a position to determine the filing system of those who will
file and use the paper. (Of course, from his own stand-
point he may wish his secretary to indicate the date and
number in the lower right-hand corner of his file copies.
This file reference, however, need not be typed; a pen and
ink entry should suffice.)
b. A file reference (date or number) in the lower right-hand
corner is superfluous when a paper is filed loose, that is,
not acco fastened to the folder. Moreover, dates and
document numbers on many papers (e.g., dispatches) are
visible even when the documents are bound at the top of a
folder by an acco fastener. It should also be noted that
some papers are bound at the bottom,left, or right depending
on the type of filing system.

"We therefore do not recommend adoption of a standard Agency
practice calling for the typing of file reference numbers
and dates at the lower right-hand corner of all documents.
We do, however, concur in indicating these file references
in pen or pencil when the filing system warrants this practice,
but only then by personnel responsible for the files.
"Our analysts have been instructed to consider the suggested
practice in conducting files improvement surveys. A minimum
award to the suggester is therefore recommended for directing
the practice to our attention."

A. Summary of Suggestion'
The Map Library of ORR displays maps of foreign areas through-
out the halls of our buildings. The suggester recommended:
(1) in cases where the map titles are in a foreign language, the
English derivative be added; and (2) an inset of the surrounding
area be added to educate the layman of the exact location of the
larger area or city map.
B. Summary of Evaluation
On 30 September 1958, Special Assistant to AD/RR,
stated:
"The ideas contained in Suggestion 59-80 with respect to the
inclusion of additional information or clarification of
existing data in connection with the display of maps on Map
Library Bulletin Boards are considered useful and will be
adopted to a modified degree by the Map Library.
"In the past, captions had sometimes been added to the maps
or had been placed beside the maps to explain significant
features; and, at times, orientation maps were also used.
However, the practice has generally been discontinued. Trans-
lation of titles in non-Roman alphabets is still being done
for some maps.
"The Map Library will take action on both points made in Sug-
gestion 59-80, as follows:
a. Translations or transliterations of all map
non-Roman alphabets will be added in pencil
b. To explain maps of obscure areas or cities,
orientation maps will be provided.

to the maps.
accompanying
"It is felt that, in general, the implementation of the points
made in Suggestion 59-80 will render the maps selected for
presentation more meaningful and significant.

A. ?ummarv of Suqqe?tion
Suggester proposes a device to protect against encipherment
on decipher tape.
B. Summary _of Evaluations
On 9 October 1958, , Ex. 0, OC, stated:
"The suggested device has a great deal of merit and offers
one solution to a very real communications security problem.
Prior to the receipt of the suggested device the Office of
Communications adopted another device that will protect
against the encipherment on decipher tape equally as well
as the suggested device. The Office of Communications
device, which will be considerably less expensive than the
suggested device, will be ready for distribution in early
1959.
"The new OC developed device will not protect SIGTOT units,
however it should be pointed out that we presently employ
only a few SIGIOT units and that these are being replaced
where practical. The cost of converting these few SIGTOTS
and all decipher tape reels as suggested appears to out-
weigh the benefits that would be derived in the short span
of time for which they would be employed.
"The originator of the attached suggestion should be encouraged
to continue submitting any and all ideas which he may have in
the communications security field since it appears that he pos-
sesses a high degree of originality and a thorough understanding
of our communications security problems. I also feel that the
originators personnel file should reflect the Office of Com-
munications appreciation of his interest in the improvement of
communications security."

SUGGESTION NO. 59-155: dated 24 October 1958
GS-13, Deputy Branch Chief
FDD, 00, DD I
A. Summary of Suggestion
Suggester proposes that a tint be made in the spaces provided
for recording hours worked or absent on Saturdays and Sundays on
the Time and Attendance Report, Form 20.
B. Summary of Evaluation
On 25 November 1958, Chief, Technical Accounting Staff, STATINTL
stated:
"This has been recommended for adoption as described below.
"Tinting the spaces on the Form 20 by use of a color as sug-
gested, would have added to the Agency's cost of printing the
cards by about $4 per thousand. However, it was considered
that the objective of the suggestion could also be accomplished
by shading of the Saturday and Sunday spaces to distinguish
them from the spaces for the normal workweek of Monday through
Friday. Shading with black ink could be accomplished at no
additional cost to the Agency since a new plate for the form
was required at this time in order to make other necessary
changes on the form. It was coincidence that these other
changes were under consideration at the same time the suggestion
was received for consideration and the adoption could be ef-
fected with printing of the new supply of forms.
"Evaluation of the benefits or savings to be derived from the
suggestion is based on intangibles. There will be no advan-
tages or savings to the payroll or machine records processing
from adoption of the suggestion because the totals of hours
worked or absent for the biweekly period are of primary inter-
est. Any saving of time will accrue solely to the time and
attendance clerks of the Agency. An estimate of time saved
and indirect benefits from increased accuracy and neatness
would be entirely speculative. It is the opinion of this Office
that adoption of the principle of the suggestion should be con-
sidered as a minor modification of an existing standard operating
procedure with limited application, since it would affect only
those who make out the forms."
