PAR ;I
TIMELY :,LFOR'_Vs
The L".ilitary Intelligence Service is obliged to know at all times the official attitudes and reactions of the
world's major nations, immediately those attitudes are manifested.
For example, any statements emanating from the Big Three, either singly or in unity, may be expected to evoke
a response in all other major countries of the ti:orid. This response,. and an appropriate cor. entary, will be dispatched
to G-2,, Washington by cable by the field collecting agency 'without delay. fi iifying reports, ::here appropriate,
should follow, giving all details necessary for a fuller appreciation of the situation.
It is noteworthy that as a result of President Truman's Navy Day speech, only three cabled reports were received
in US from hilitary Attaches describing responses in the countries to which the representatives .:use accredited.
The remair-,ing collecting agencies submitted reports, but some ..ere received as much uss three weeks after the date of
the Navy Day speech. Complete, analytical reports must be submitted, and it Is recognized that such reports cannot
be submitted ay cable. Ito..ever, it is desirable that early ia.ctual reports and considered comments be ;,utmaiitted
by cable ..ithin 48 hours of the occurrence of the incident or statement, irrespective of full ap uis to fa T
Cabled dispatches will comprise a vale ele basis for the preparation of G-21 k vii

koUoi ing is an exa ple of an unsolicited cabled report which is considered L pical of the quality desired from
all field collect;cn a cncies:
L,orrison's announcement in t: ns that small c1c;ctriclty tele-co^vrunicataons, canals,
docks, gas, civil avi tion, r ,G long distance road haulage, labors and iron and steel
will be nationalized during the present Parliament brings outburst of ,opposition criticism
when he refuses to permit debate. 4orrison further threatens reduced compensations for
nationalized industries if they refuse to cooperate and expand in the f,aantime, This reveals
the basic problem of the Socialist program, the steel industry already havin halted its
expansion program pending nationalization. The other industries concerned are expected to do
likewise.
In subsequent publications of this section of the tsar Department Intelligence Plan, examples of,v luable and
significant caules will b3 reproduced to acquaint collecting agencies with the objscti-res desired.

Sa^HET
STRATEGIC i NNTL LLIG SNcE DIGEST iI rST ,TE
On or about 1 March 1946 Intelligence Group will adopt a standard instrument for the compilation of timely finished
strategic intelligence. This instrument will beknown as the Strategic Intelligence Digest and estimate.
The Strategic intelligence Digest and Ltimate (SIDS) will consist of two parts:
Part 4i Kilita~ The of a digest of the total intelligence availaLle within LIS with regard to all countries of
the world.
Part II: Strategic Intelligence Estimate (5I r), prepared by Spocialiets from the 5Th. The SIE consist's of a
s.m1iry and conclusions drawn from a detailed study of the SID in all of its aspects. TheSIE will set forth the
capauilitics of foreign nations to prosecute soar as determined by analysis of the topographic, sociolepical, political,
economic, scientific, military and biographical intelligence set forth in the SID.
The SIT? : is designed to furnish:
An accurate and t ly ,te nt of 'thi - .. r potential of for ign z .iiuis
comprehensive and directed cc pilation of all foreign intelligence in each of the main categories comprising the
war potential, i.e., topographic, aaciologica1, etco
ly delineation of responsibali.t for the guidance of the collection function and the research `function:
ant"
tic~a in a +req
*ough vecgnition of gaps in the over-a21 format of world intelligence.
Compilation of basic intelligance preparation of complete and accurate special stud ens and proc'e an shbrt notice.
Phi c l Make; up.
STD will take the form of a large loose-leaf legal-size book, distributed by appropriate pages and chapters
throughout the Research Branches.
The ; book. initially will contain table of-contents and pages with appropriate subject headings at the top of
the otherwise blank pages.

A complete book in blank will be furnished each military attache for the country to which he is accredited,
Ety folders with table of contents only will be furnished Specialists,
I3eiaentation
Upon receipt of blank books research personnel will extract from their normal research system (card files, III':
data, etc.) the factual intelligence contained therein and enter it ir. narrative form on the appropriate page of the
SID. Two extra copies of each page will, be typed, one for the appropriate Specialist and one for the UJ.itary Attache
primarily concerned. Hence the Specialist :.ill have the only complete Strategic Intelligence Digest in US,, since all
,..,.. rch Uraacches will be focusing product of their studies into the Specialist's book. A separate book will be
maintained for such nation in the appropriate Specialist's office,
Linor changes will to made informally in SID at the research desk without making corresponding changes in the other
two books. 1-hen a mmober of minor changes have occurred on one page or when a change of major importance has taken place,
the page will be rewritten and distributed as pr.-,scribed.
It is anticipated that considerable time will be required to accomplish the SID. In ord.- to coordinate the initial
effort and insure prompt availability of intelligence on important countries, a priority list of countries within
each major area will. be distributed with the table of contents.
The Intelligence Control Desks of the Research branches will supervise the implementation of SID,, Progress repo is
will be kept.

supporting data to permit corrections,
fuerevalua evaluation by
the Research Unit. Thereafter it will be a continuing obligation of the WA's to report all information obtained by them
which is or ought to be reflected in the 51D,,
'#;hen directed by the Director of Intelligence, the Specialist responsible for the area designated will prepare the SIE
based upon current files of SID and a final survey of appropriate desks for recent minor changes that have not been trans-
mitted to the Specialist?
It is anticipated that ultimately a full, authoritative and 'timely statement of the war potential of ar r country will
be av&U84e . wiU4n a p. d of . a few da ra of date,-requested. Pub:} ication and dissemination of-S=, when directed, vdil
be characterized by speed and accuracy, with the minim= of editing. L'aterial will be compiled in sufficiently finished
form to achieve this objective.
