FOREWORD
This manual is issued pursuant to instructions of the United
States Intelligence Board, and prescribes the reporting requirements,
procedures, and formats for submission of descriptions of automated
intelligence data files and their associated computer programs for
inclusion in the USIB File and Program Catalog System.
The USIB File and Program Catalog System has been established
to facilitate the exchange of file and program descriptions between
the agencies and departments of the intelligence community. At the
request of the United States Intelligence Board, the Defense
Intelligence Agency will maintain the system and publish periodic
catalogs of descriptions as services to the community.
User comments on means to improve the system are invited.
Such comments, together with requests for clarification of
instructions and assistance in using the system, should be for-
warded through channels to the Chief, CODIB Support Staff,
Central Intelligence Agency.

Chapter I
1. The File and Program Catalog System (FPCS) is designed to
provide the United States Intelligence Community with data to produce
a central catalog of automated master intelligence data files and of
computer programs used to process these data files. This catalog will
be published quarterly by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) on
behalf of USIB and of DoD and is intended to facilitate the exchange of
information among members of the Intelligence Community.
2. The success of this system depends entirely upon the strict
adherence, by all participants, to coding instructions. Data
submitted that is not in accordance with this manual will lead to
erroneous or meaningless items in printed reports and may in some cases
be rejected in processing. These reports will be returned for resub-
mission during the next reporting cycle. The printed reports can be
used for checking the validity of input. Input data. found to be
erroneous will be resubmitted during the next reporting cycle.
3. It should be noted that DIA, as the publishing agency, is
operating this catalog under a USIB Directive (USIB--S-13.1/49 approved
on 26 June 1963). In addition, on its own initiative, DIA has published
an instruction manual with the same objective as this USIB manual
(DIAM 65-8-1, IDHS Vol-VIII Management Systems, Part 1, the ADP File
and Program Catalog System (FPCS), first edition of which was published
15 October 1965). DIA requires a greater number of reporting items
from DoD ADP intelligence elements than is required by other USIB
agencies. In consequence, the reporting requirements submitted in
this manual reflect combined requirements of USIB and DoD, the former
being a subset of the larger DIA/DoD reporting requirements. In this
manual, the USIB reporting requirements have been marked by an asterisk
in the left margin, preceding the card column designations for each card
format used. Items so marked are mandatory reporting items for all
USIB agencies. Unmarked items are optional for all except DIA/DoD.
USIB agencies reporting against the mandatory reporting items are
encouraged to respond to other reporting items shown in this
instruction manual.
4. The File and Program Catalog will be operated by DIA on an
IBM 1410, 80K memory computer, using the Formatted File System (FFS)

S. Caution must be used in designating file and program
identifiers. Each reporting agency is responsible for assigning a
unique identifier for each file or program developed within the agency.
Unit I.D. plus file or program identifier will be the accession to the
file. File or program identifiers must not be reused.
6. Requirements for additional data elements or data codes
should be submitted to the Chief, CODIB Support Staff, Office of
Central Reference, Central Intelligence Agency.
7. This Instruction Manual is -effective immediately.

Chapter II
1. Purpose.
The purpose of the File and Program Catalog System (FPCS) is
a. To provide a central mechanism for collecting descriptions
of intelligence data stored in an automated form and of the associated
computer programs and processing equipment.
b. To facilitate the exchange of information among the members
of the Intelligence Community to eliminate or reduce unnecessary dupli-
cation of effort in the development of automated intelligence files and
their associated computer programs.
2. Scope.
a. This Instruction applies to all USIB agencies.
b. All intelligence files and programs which are considered
by the reporting agency to be of interest to other USIB agencies will
be described, provided catalog publication procedures are in accordance
with existing security regulations of the reporting agency.
c. The classification of these descriptions will be kept as
low as possible.
d. It is not required that non-DoD agencies submit in-
formation on inactive files or on programs under development.
3. Definitions.
For the purpose of this' instruction, the following definitions
will apply:
a. Master file. A file containing relatively permanent
information which is a combination of data that is contained in no':
other file. Individual data elements will be standard and may be
contained in, or derived from, various master files. Only master files
containing intelligence information and ancillary files needed to
process these files, such as an index or thesaurus, will be reported.
Derivative files will not be reported in this system.

b. Automated file. A machine-processable file stored on
punched cards, paper tape, magnetic tape, drums, or disks. Film
transparencies of all types are excluded, but independent indices
to file transparencies are included if they are stored on one of the
media mentioned herein.
c. Computer program. The complete sequence of machine
instructions necessary to solve a problem or accomplish a processing
task whether this sequence is called subroutine, routine, program, or
some other term. Manufacturers' programs which are commercially
available to all users are excluded unless major modifications have
been made to the programs, in which case, the modifications should
be described. In addition, the basic components of the Formatted
File System (FFS) for the 7090/94 and 1410 computers are excluded
except where major program modifications have been made.
d. Tape block. For the purpose of this instruction, the
term "tape block" is the same as "physical record", which is defined
as "a segment of data inscribed on a recording medium and physically
delimited in some fashion, e.g., written on a magnetic tape or disk
and preceded and followed by end of record gaps, or punched on a
single card."
e. Logical record. A collection of data elements closely
enough related to be customarily processed as a unit within a computer
even though, in an external recording medium, the same stream of
data may occupy any number of physical records or any portion. of
one physical record. Contrasted with "physical record."
4. Use of 80-column cards. The FPCS is predicated and guided
by the principle that an action is initiated and controlled by a
series of 80-column, punched, EAM cards.
a. File and program descriptor cards, each containing a
unique card identification, will be used as a basis for maintaining
the FPCS. These cards are grouped as follows:
(1) Main file descriptor cards:
Card format 1 - Descriptive file title
Card format 2 - Geopolitical areas

laneous program descriptions.
b. The punched card actions can result in an addition to
the catalog, a change to the catalog, or a deletion to the catalog.
Except for the addition of a new file or program description, the
card identification must match the identification of a record in the
catalog, or all data being submitted on the card will be rejected.
c. To delete a file description from the catalog, card
formats 1 and A will be submitted. To delete a program description
from the catalog, card format 5 will be submitted. Detailed instruc-
tions are provided in subsequent chapters.
d. To change any part of a file or program description,
the old version of the description must be deleted from the catalog
and the complete updated description substituted in its place as an
addition to the catalog.
e. Each participating agency will submit cards in separate
decks under any of the following designations, as required:
(1) Main file description deletions
(2) Main file description additions
(3) Supplementary file description deletions

FILE AND PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS CARD IDENTIFICATION
Card identification is the key to processing any action in the
File and Program Catalog System (FPCS). It is contained in the first
sixteen columns of every card which is submitted and provides positive
identification and control. This identification will be covered in
detail in this chapter and thereafter will be shown as basic card
identification in the detailed explanation for each card format. This
identification receives processing edits in accordance with these
instructions. Improper identification data on any card will cause a
rejection of all data submitted on that card.

NOTE 1: Although each card is coded
separately with a classification or control
code, the file or program report must be
submitted as a complete package. The
package must be transmitted in accordance
with the procedure required by the highest
classification code or the control code
used in one or more of the cards prepared
for a file or program report. Every effort
must be made to use the minimum classification
code which still protects the information
on that card in accordance with existing
security regulations. Use control codes
only when absolutely necessary.
NOTE 2: If none of the above codes are
adequate for security purposes, the
reporting organization will notify the
CODIB Support Staff (address as in Chapter I
paragraph 6) through appropriate channels,
specifying the requirement and requesting
that a code be assigned.
NOTE 3: This field will be filled in by
NSA and CIA with the same information that
is contained in columns 79 and 80 of card
formats 1 and 5.
