M 0FANDUM FOR: Deputy Di rec to r? of i r .ining
I. The purposes of this !emo:rr:ndum area:
25X1A e To report that, for : t least a first edition of the manu.ai
Collection Regulations Control Staff, DL,/. ,
considers publication by the Office of Training to be prefer-
able to publicr.tion br the Agency.
b. To recommend that we i..roceed toward publicotion.
2. You already have some of the pertinent facts:
e.
b.
When, in December 195;3, 1 presented the manuscript to Kr. Baird
and you, it was su; eted thrt publicrtion by the Agency might
be desirable. I agreed to get opinion. 25X1 A
After brief consider- vion, be was inclined to concur in the
suggestion but propose=d further study after informa1 coordina-
tion with all appropriate Agency components had been completed.
c. Coordinr-tion at division level was completed with all Agency
components concerning which the manual gives the name and. says
anything beyond a super~ficial reference. Appropriate changes-
all rolativeiy minor .?ere made.
I then presented the manuscript to tine Requirements Str=ff/FI, whose
name is not given in the manual but whose work is, in part, discussed.
Interest in the project t1,1-ere was such that the original time for
reaction was substantially ien thened. t ltimate reaction was f .vor-
able and has, I understz n', been conveyed to Mr. Baird.
4. With all apparently appropriate coordin,-tion thus cosy, leted, I took
25X1A the manuscript back to I received it from him yester-
day with the verbal opinion stated in paragraph 1. he indicated
that this opinion was based. on three others:
a. That the man -.al, being analogous to a college textbook, is squite
different from anythie tusfar issued as an Agency publication.
b. That the automptic ditseminatio:n customary with Agency ublica-
tions would not be conducive to the cordial reception of this
kind of material.
c. That the manual could best follow the example being set by the
4,,, ?pps ;ry: publication and use by O/ , further distribution
upon request, and onaidera.tion of Agency issuance when and if
the market warrants.
I therefore recommend that, provided the substanc~:~ has passed your
review, I be authorized to consult frith the heads of the basic
courses Ps to the format best suited to instructional use and teen
