2. Volume
a. The Information Distribution Section handled 13,894
regular intelligence information documents in 57,352 copies. It pro-
cessed 1,176 dottoes of CIA produced intelligence information in
42,624 copies. (Since it has been deciddd that a simple statement of
total number.of dittoes does not reflect a true picture of the work
load, the number of pa es of dittoes is now counted. 2,159 pages
of ditto were handled.) In addition IDS processed and distributed
ten intelligence publications in 1049 copies.
b. The Administrative Files Section handled 2,057 documents.
c. The Special Distribution Section handled 148 documents
in 277 copies, of which 46 of 451 pages were reproduced and handled
in 1,195 pages of copy.
d. The Executive Registry processed 1,092 items, plus 243
;,,AW TOP SECRET documents and prepared 23 Daily Action Summaries. Many
of the items had previously been processed by other,sections of
Central Records.
e. No count is made of material passing through the Central
Mail Section. All material handled in IDS and AFS is first handled
in bulk in Central Mail Section. In addition, personal mail and other
materials are processed directly by the Central Mail Section.
3. General
a. The survey of files to determine the adequacy of the
draft of the Uniform File Manual and the location of Offices of
Record to contain record copies of administrative material, has
included all activities of A & M, the offices of the echelons of
CIA in FVIA Building, the activities of Office of Operations, and
offices In OCD where necessary. Certain offices in ORE must be
visieted for concurrences in the initial draft. A rough draft of
the filing manual is attached for your information.

cabinets of materials stored at the warehouse. This 25X1A6a
=OIAb3bl review led to considerable work of checking 1 es located both in

of this material after certain materials are extracted for retention
in other files,
d. The files formerly maintained by the Executive Registry
have been transferred to the Administrative Files Section where they
