CODIB Task Teams 1 January-31 March 1966

developed by the Task Team was distributed to CODIB on 1 March 1966.

now engaged in testing the scheme under the guidance of the team
member. These tests are designed to determine the amount and type of
training required to use the scheme, its application to intelligence
products, its effectiveness as an aid to dissemination, and its
usefulness as a tool for expressing user requirements.

sibility as executive agent for implementing and operating an Item

Item Register System, these quarterly summaries will discontinue
further reporting on this item.
