(U11141440) CIA Declassification Center
(UHA1/117) CDC and NSC Discuss Direct Transfer to NSC of Carter Library Documents Collected in RAC
Program
(U/Mr1-134) On 13 March 2002, representatives from the CIA Declassification Center (CDC) met with their
counterparts at the National Security Council (NSC) to discuss methods of transferring NSC and White House
material collected by the Remote Archive Capture (RAC) program at the Jimmy Carter Library to the NSC for

(U/Mr1444) From the Archives: "Little Adverbs, Little Adjectives" Make a Difference in Intelligence
Analysis
(U/hWele) DDI Robert Amory explained the importance of precise language in intelligence analysis in a
presentation at the National War College in 1959. The presentation was recently reviewed by the DCI team at the
CIA Declassification Center. Mr. Amory noted: "For those of you who read (National Intelligence Estimates) or
commission them... the first (thing) is the important requirement of reading them with care. Little adverbs, little
adjectives -- 'it is barely possible', 'the chances are slightly more than even' -- are essentially mathematically thought
out before they go into the language of the paper. You may say: Well, wouldn't it be better to quote odds in a
numerical way? There are some of us who think it would not be a bad idea from time to time though others ... say
that would give a false impression of accuracy and clarity that we do not have."
This is a record.
