SPECIAL SERVICES PERFORMED BY OCR FOR OTHER GO T AGENCIES
1. The CIA Library maintains a staff member (GS-7 at $4,525 per year)
at the Library of Congress to manage the inter-loan traffic between the two
libraries. This frees the Library of Congress of a considerable work load
from a large scale customer.
2. In support of an IAC-wide document indexing and control system, the
CIA Library provides the following services:
a. Subject codes all USAF intelligence documents and enclosures,
and G-2 and ONI intelligence documents with single copy enclosures.
b. Trains personnel from IAC libraries and document control centers
in subject coding. For example, Air Force personnel have been attending
subject coding training courses in the CIA Library continuously for over
two years. Other agencies are participating in increasing numbers.
c. Provides other agencies in the intelligence community with
technical assistance in expanding the Intelligence Subject Code to
meet their specialized control needs. For example, the CIA Library
is lending the Air Force, at their request, a senior analyst (GS-13)
for the duration of the Minicard experiment to advise on subject coding
problems. It is estimated that the salary expenditure for this period
(approximately three months) will be $2,250.
3. The CIA Library makes available to the Library of Congress copies
of scarce foreign publications to augment their collection. Also the CIA
Library turns over to the Library of Congress the bulk of its newspapers
and periodicals after they have been used by this Agency.
4+. In connection with the development of document processing systems,
the Machine Division provides NSA with copies of our film, Aperture cards,
and assembly cards and gives them technical advice regarding operational pro-
cedures of the Aperture card system.
5. The Machine Division assists the Air Force in the use of the tape-to-
card machine and allows them the use of our equipment.
6. The Machine Division provides the Air Force with a negative copy of
film of all incoming Air Force intelligence documents processed by OCR.
7. Upon request,, the Machine Division supplies G-2 and ONI with photostat
paper prints and microfilm reels of intelligence material processed by OCR.

of the special check list arranged in country order sequence.

with color slides of Soviet and Satellite countries for use in illustrated
lectures.

Register.

Aperture cards. Film reels supplied are copies of the reels prepared by
