Filing Acti3it
The man-ho s shown include the fil of all i tPat ve and sub-
stantive material including mat cards and special intelligence cards tili
at division and branch level as well as individual files. Most -lysts
maintain their own substantive files. The high ratio in Chemistry and
Medicine Divisions is accounted for by the extensive use of mat mss, while
the Nuclear Energy Division uses a orose-index device. The low ratio in the
operations :,taff is accounted for by not maintaining the large mount of sub-
stantive material such as is filed by analysts in substantive divisions. No
standardized written procedure or guide was found prescribing a method of
filing. The Intelligence Subject Code is in general use for coding with in-
dividual modifications. No established periodic review of selection of ma-
terial to be ,filed,, or provision for a periodic review of contents of files
was noted. Most analysts have developed their own filing, system and do some
of the actual filing themselves.
