Additional Guidelines for Historical Content'.
of Annual Reports by DD/S&T Offices
The CIA Historian has presented in Tab B a set of guidelines
for meeting the historical requirements in drafting the dual purpose
Annual Report as called for by Mr. Colby's 26 May memorandum.
While these guidelines are addressed in general terms to cover the
whole Agency, they are still complete and detailed enough to be
easily adapted to the drafting of S&T contributions to the Annual
Report.
Some particular points of emphasis for consideration in S&T
reporting from the historical point of view include:
External Research and Analysis. A major policy of the S&T
Directorate since its founding has been the maximum exploitation
of external research to accomplish the Agency's scientific intelli-
gence goals. The magnitude of these efforts and an indication of
results should be included by those Offices engaged in such
contractual activities. _
Scientific Advisory and other Committees. The role of
advisory panels, 'committees, and boards in the orientation of the
Directorate's programs during the reporting period.
Research and Development. The effects of the DCI Conference
decisions of 1.971 with regard to R&D; changes in trends and emphasis.
Technical Collection Systems. A report on the 1971 cancellation
of the joint ORD/OSA;technical collection project.
Production of Scientific Intelligence. Effect of various high-level
studies in this area; any redirection of analysis /production efforts
within S&T or communitywide?
Continui. A thread of continuity from year to year on long-term
programs or projects should be achieved without repeating in each annual
report the same introductory facts. This applies particularly to the
large collection projects which may run six to ten or more years .
Emphasis should be on movement from phase to phase as now situations
develop, new requirements are levied, and old ones satisfied or canceled.
