SUBJECT: Comparison of "Major Outputs" with CIRIS Subjects
REFERENCE: a) Memo, DCI/IC 78-0058, to PRC(I) WG Members; Subj:
Agenda for Mtg 15 Sep 78 (on Major Outputs of NFIP),
dtd 13 Sep 78.
b) Alternate List by OMB of Major Outputs of NFIP,
dtd 15 Sep 78.
1. The candidate list of Major Outputs of the National Foreign
Intelligence Program, and alternative offered by The Office of Management
and Budget, References 1 and 2, cannot readily be related to existing
Community data bases because of differences in scope and lack of
exclusiveness in the output lists.
2. The 53 subject headings of Consolidated Intelligence Resources
Information System (CIRIS) include the entire universe of information;
i.e., they are encyclopedic by design. The Major Outputs lists tend to
be more selective, but not in all cases. For example, monitoring of
international treaties is included as a part of CIRIS Subject Foreign
Policy, but this subject also satisfies the national policy-making entry
in the list of Major Outputs. Thus, two Major Outputs are relatable to
portions of a single CIRIS subject.
3. Some of the Major Outputs set forth in Reference a. can be
translated into CIRIS subject equivalents and expressed in terms of
dollar resources, as shown in Table 1. Because Indications and Warning
information may be economic, military, political, (or all three), all
targetted resources in CIRIS are considered applicable to this Output
subject. Only a portion of one CIRIS subject is relatable to Major
Outputs 2. The same is true for Major Outputs 5 and 8. In addition,
Major Outputs 8 is the sum of Major Outputs 4 and 7. For this reason it
is not appropriate to attempt to calculate the total number of resource
dollars that can be equated to the complete list of Major Outputs. Such
a value would be composed of double counts, estimates and omissions
simply because of the lack of agreement between the definitions of the
subjects.

4. Table 2 shows a similar comparison of the OMB alternative
list and CIRIS subjects. The first three Outputs (I.A, I.B., and I.C.)
cannot be separated in CIRIS, although CIRIS provides detailed dis-
tinction between the 11 types of weapon systems treated under Strategic
Forces.

SUBJECT: Comparison of "Major Outputs" with CIRIS Subjects
Outputs V, VII, and VIII can be related directly to CIRIS, but an
identification of how the nations of the world should be subdivided
into Advanced, Developing, Lesser, and None must be provided. Outputs
IX and X also require definition of the subjects or countries that may
be implied by the terms Global and Critical.
5. With the understanding that a primary objective of the Working
Group is to inter-relate output and resources, it is recommended that
"Output" categories be defined in terms compatible with CIRIS Country-
Subject entries. Attached are extracts of CIRIS reporting Instruction
describing the scope and detail of pertinent terms.

SECTION VI-CIRIS TERMS FOR POSITIVE INTELLIGENCE SUBJECTS
a. In CIRIS the POSINT Collection, Processing and
Production resources attributed to geographic areas
are further distributed to subjects.
b. CIRIS subjects designate information areas
(groupings of topics) to which resources are distributed
to identify the subjects that are the focus of a
Reporting Entity's intelligence tasks. To permit the
specific attribution of resources to them, it is necessary
that subjects be mutually exclusive. CIRIS subjects are
considered to encompass all areas of knowledge. For
practical reporting purposes, however, CIRIS lists only
53 subjects. These have been identified to be of
continuing national-level interest. Each subject is a
collective term that includes implicitly many specific
topics that could be identified at finer levels of detail.
The CIRIS structure does not provide for the
attribution of resources to specific topics in the detail
that may be required for in-depth analysis. The
collective terms that are the end points of the CIRIS
subject structure can, however, serve as the starting
points for topical subdivisions oriented toward specific
resource issue studies. They afford crosswalks from
community statistics to detailed program manager
data bases.
c. Entities are expected to attribute their resources
to the most specific subjects that realistically describe
their tasks. For example, resources dedicated to both
Foreign Policy and Domestic Affairs should be
divided between these two subjects rather than
assigned to Political, General which implies attribution
to International Organizations, Biographic Data,
Criminal Activities, and Sociological as well. Guidance
for the attribution of resources to subjects is provided
in Section VII, paragraph 2.
d. The more precise military forces subjects apply
primarily to technologically advanced countries. Al-
though any subject may be used with any geographic
area, it is likely that only the highly industrialized
countries will have elements of Strategic Offensive
Forces or Strategic Defensive Forces (as defined in
CIRIS). The operating military forces of the less
technologically advanced countries are likely to fall
under the General Purpose Forces. Revolutionary
forces are likely to fall under Insurgency (Subject 27).
e. To improve the usefulness and uniformity of
CIRIS data, program managers or contributors may
wish to give additional guidance to their entities
regarding the subjects that most meaningfully describe
their work.
2. CIRIS Subjects
The definitions of CIRIS subjects are presented on
pages 22 to 34. The scope of a CIRIS subject is
described by a list of topics that indicates the subject's
general coverage. The descriptions are intended to be
illustrative, not exhaustive. They are guides to
determining within which collective subject a specific
topic falls.
