S. If you request the purchase of a publication., be sure to have it
approved by your appropriately designated responsible official* This is
required because of the cost center program (for details see Financial
Management Improvement Instruction no. Lt, dated 10 June 1959). The CIA
Library budgets for the purchase of publications in the over-all budget
of the Office of Central Reference, Its estimates are based on what each
Agency component thinks will be required. The Library is responsible for
reporting both to the requesting components and to the Office of the
Comptroller the amounts expended for the purchase of publications. unless
the Library has an approved request for purchase., complete in detail, it
is unable to fulfill its obligations. Each component in turn must be
satisfied that the request is an appropriate one., whether to be used for
operational work or reference support. Some offices wish to keep records
according to these two categories.

publications Locally wherever this will save mxwy. Caution should be'
exercised with regard to what 'to true econoagrs there are costs in
processing a series of requests for publications. Even though a
publication may have high initial cost abroad., it might prove more
economical to purchase there rather than process through the many
channels of headquarters. The choice is up to the field. Where
security considerations prohibit purchase abroad., send your require-
tents to the Library.
