THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
Notional Intelligence Council
23 February 1983
STAT
The questions you posed to me in your letter prompted us to do some
research on our end. We've come up with the following information:
(a) Either of two procedures can be used for obtaining
"unclassified" government (including CIA) publica-
tions. Requesters outside the US Government may
obtain subscriptions by addressing inquiries to:
Document Expediting'(DOCEX) Project Exchange
& Gift Division
Library of Congress
Washington, D.C. 20540
National Technical Information Service
5285 Port Royal Road
Springfield, VA 22161
(b) Requests for "declassified" documents are done on
an ad hoc basis via the Freedom of Information Act
procedures. This simply means that there must be a
request for a particular document to be declassified
and each document must be specifically identified as
to title. Also, there is no distribution list for
those that have been declassified by request.

 Approved For Release 2008/01/14: CIA-RDP85T00153R000100030012-5
A DOCEX subscription will provide you access to all unclassified US
Government publications on a particular area or subject. Hopefully, this
would allow you to expand your country-by-country analysis of what the
Soviet Union is saying and doing.
I hope this information has given you some useful insight into the
products available from the US Government.
Sincerely,
Henry S. Rowen
Chairman

Requests for "declassified" documents are
done on an ad hoc basis. There must be a request
for a particular document to be declassified and
each document must be specifically identified.
(There is no automatic declassification of pubs,
and there is no distribution list for those that
have been declassified by request.)
