GENERAL GUIDANCE
25X1
a. Copies and Due Date. Four copies of contributions to
the Annual Report (AR-5), fiscal year 1972 (FY-72) should be
sent to the Executive Secretary, IHC, Room 4E24, CIA Headquarters
on or before 7 July 1972.
b. Classification. The Annual Report and Annex A, Inventory
of Community Information Handling Systems, will be classified
SECRET. Annex B, Education and Training Report, will be classi-
fied CONFIDENTIAL. Codeword, Top Secret, Crypto, RD, or other
specially controlled material will be put in a separate annex
to AR-5.
c. Form. Contributions should be typed (double-spaced) so
that each chapter starts a new page (8 x 10 1/2 paper preferred).
A report control symbol will be included on contributions from
the military services and DIA. (RCS: DIA-0A-U1)
d. Contractors. Where security and rules of disclosure
permit, the name of the contractor involved in an activity
should be provided.
e. Format. In December 1971, the IHC members agreed that
future Annual Reports should be drastically shortened and
formatted to reflect the six subplans outlined in Attachment A

of USIB-D-71.1/3; Subject: National Security Action Memorandum
368 (Intelligence Information Handling System) 22 October 1968.
The six subplans or chapters are: (1) Role of Management in
the CIHS; (2) Requirements for Change in the CIHS; (3) Inventory,
Selection, Development, and Integration; (4) Standardization in
the CIHS; (5) Orientation, Training, and Documentation for
Operators and Users of CIHS; and (6) Development of Experi-
mental/Trial Information Handling Services. It was further
agreed that the Inventory of Community Information Handling
Systems, which has been treated separately in the past, would
be made Annex A to future Annual Reports, beginning with AR-5.
f. Rationale for Change. The main objectives of the above
changes are to provide the intelligence community a streamlined
Annual Report of significant CIHS events. An overview of infor-
mation handling systems being used or developed in the community
with its emphasis on technical developments will be separately
disseminated as Annex A. The substantive chapters of the report
will be devoted to highlights within the six subplan areas
identified in the Preliminary Plan. Such highlights should
provide information judged by the contributors to be of ex-
ceptional interest to other members of the intelligence com-
munity. Guidance for contributions to the various chapters

of AR-5 and Annexes A,B, and C are provided below. All contrib-
uting organizations (See Distribution List) are encouraged to
report items for all chapters--where appropriate.
g. Constraints. The DCI indicated in his memorandum to
the President on October 22, 1968, that he would inform the
President on progress made on "costing and scheduling" the
CIHS. Therefore, it is important that reporting agencies
identify resource limitations and technical problems, as well
as accomplishments, in order to provide an objective report on
progress. Resource limitations include such things as budget-
ary limitations, shortage of skilled manpower, inadequacies of
extant software and equipment, and lack of community standards.
h. Previous Reports. Information reported in previous
reports should be kept at a minimum. For example, in reporting
systems or activities described in detail in previous annual
reports a one sentence summary for background purposes would
suffice.

Chapter IV. Manasp4nent of, and Requirements for, the
Community Informjabn Handling System
Contributors
a. All IHC member organizations are invited to contribute
to this chapter.
Discussion
b. This chapter should cover briefly the requirements which
have been satisfied or are being considered for improving infor-
mation handling in the community. A short account of management
decisions which resulted in improved CIHS services should be
given; problems identified and any solutions for them should be
stated. Programs and procedures developed to support the DCI's
community information handling systems should be discussed.
Improvements in the flow of management information and the
devices and methods for making such information available in
the community should be described. These may include product-
availability listings, catalogs of files and computational
capabilities, directories and indexes for on-line data banks
and the like, as well as management information devices per se.
It should be borne in mind by each contributor that a manage-
ment tool developed for his own use may have general applica-
bility; in such a case it should be made known to the rest of
the community.

Annex A. Inventory of Community Information Handling Systems
Contributors
a. All the IHC member organizations are invited to
contribute to this Annex.
Discussion
b. The Inventory must grow in order that the Annual Report
may be drastically shortened, i.e., the technical detail that
provided so much bulk in previous reporting must be moved to
this Annex. Therefore, it is most important that every consid-
eration be given to nominating additional systems for the
Inventory. Previous instructions and emphasis have been on
reporting information systems which have, or may have, com-
munity-wide application. This is still a main objective.
However, reporting of other systems including those peculiar
to a particular agency could also benefit the community.
Knowledge of the existence and details of such systems could
benefit an agency considering the development of a similar
system.
c. In addition all systems now in the Inventory are to be
reviewed and updated, as appropriate. Two copies of current
system descriptions are enclosed (Tab A) for your convenience
in updating these systems; minor changes should be merely
