3. General
a. Current Records Management Activity The CIA FILIaG MANUAL has been placed in use in the Adminis-
trative Files Section. The decision was made to.try the Manual
in actual use for a period before it should be distributed for
general use. During this trial period to date the Manual appears
to be entirely workable. The transition f vm one coding system d,
to ,the new one has been remarkably free from difficulty, even thpgh
a fundamental change in manner of classifying in necessary. It is
believed that general use of the Filing Manual will be equally
trouble free.
