MEMORANDUM FOR: Assistant Deputy Director for Intelligence
THROUGH: Chief, DDI Planning Staff ,/,,,,1,;
SUBJECT: Publications Procurement
1. This memorandum fulfills my earlier promise to provide you with
further information on the progress of FY 1970 outlays for publications
procurement and specifically with a better guess at the effect of the on-going
inflation.
2. I am now confident that the over-all price of publications in 1970 is
at least 7.5% above the 1969 price. The upper end of the range is probably
about 10%. The attachment presents the data available to CBS as of 11 March.
The attachment is based on hard, precise numbers; shows an average increase
'n the cost of materials f 7.5% with
increases ranging from 6% to 13?% for U.S. and British
m a .~rf a
3. Of equal importance
Ireported that his survey indicates that the
e in the price of U.S. specialized periodicals over the
1969 price is 7.6%. His data, however, covers a considerably broader
scope of documents than CIA finds interesting (e.g., education, theology,
hobbies of various kinds, etc.).
4. This data and an extension of current expenditure rats suggests that
the total FY 1970 outlay will be between As of 1 March
we have committed about Ad oc orders are running about
per month. The cost of inflation will add between to the
already committed sum. CRS is now car i an 970 "estimated total
obligation" for publications procurement of Unless the rate of
ad hoc orders increase significantly or the p is printer hits us much harder
than we expect, we should stay within this sum.

5. We are keeping current on this data. Ad hoc orders are counted
daily. (The March average through the 12th is 75 per day, up from 63/day
in January and 67/day in February.) We are currently sampling the
average cost of an ad hoc order. If development suggests that the estimate
in Paragraph 5 needs further revision, you will be notified.
