PO NEWSLETTER NO. o
Dear
In our last Newsletter, your attention was invited to the new
fiscal procedures to be utilized in procuring publications on behalf
of WF, SP and AMS during FY 6o. In view of certain queries received
from field posts s it is believed that the information developed below
will be of assistance to all PO's in further describing these procedures.
Method oll_E1111111;12160 Funds for WF. SP and AMS
The specific document which outlines the basic points developed
below is CA-72 of July 2s 1959. This instruction should be read In
conjunction with CA-1005 of July 30, 1959, which describes the re-
quirements of the agencies cited above in terms of voluntary selection
for them and Llis and summarizes the amounts of money each agency has
authorized to field posts. WF has provided funds to, all PO posts; if
publication needs of SP and AMS i,an be filled by posts to which no SP
or AMS funds have been authorized; this information should be brought
to the attention of ICD/FP.
This yerp each specffic order that, you receive contains its own
authorization for funds. You will not have a "block' of funds for
both specific orders and "selection" items as last year. All funds
actually remain under Department control ands since this is a central
working funds you are not faced with the problem of "obligating monies
out of S & E funds at the post. Instead, there is mereiJ a simple debit
against the central fund in Washington when (bat only when) an item is
actually purchased; e.g .s on a five-item order; ',,here you purchase four
items

items at once but find that the fifth won't be on the market for
another month or two, the four items actually 'bought are charged
against the central funds but the fifth item has no effect on the
fund at all until it is actually purchased. This has an interesting
effect on the fiscal-year-end problem it ceases to be a problan.
That is, if you had received the above order ins let us says late
June, 19600 the four immediately available items would be purchased
on the spot out of FY 60 funds. The fifth item, available in, rid-
August let us says would simply be purchased out of FY 61 funds
(without any need for special authorization from Washington) as if
you bad just received the order that day. Thus, there is no carry-
ing over of obligated" funds even at the close of the Fiscal Year.
Of courses simply to help us idOdtify the Itema- the FY 61 voucher
would list this item as "Item 5. WF 10/600 $7.25," and the same
voucher might list items from other FY 60 or FY 61 orders. In shorts
froM your standpoint, it's almost as if there was no such thing as
a Fiscal Year an item could be bought even two or three years
after we had requested it without requiring any further authorization
than the original requests and bought out of current funds as if it
were an order just received. .From a practical standpoints of aourses
if you notified us that an item would not be available for a consider-
able time, we would probably instruct you to let the matter drop. So
much, for specific orders.
Funds for "selection" activity have. been authorized separately.
At certain posts these amounts may appear smaller than last year,
but actually the reverse is true since you will not be charging the
specific orders against selection funds but will use such funds
exclusively for selection activity. If you feel the need for an
increase in the WF authorizations or initial SP and PS fund author-
izationes at any time during the year, write or wire us as appropriate
and funds

and funds will be promptly provided. The selection funds which
have been authorized to date are to be considered initial funds
only and not restrictive in any sense, particularly in the ease
of WF. If you can use the money, these amounts can be readily
increased
We would like you to keep Graphics funds, and SP, WF, AMS
funds quite separate. Normally, we'd prefer that you not use one
fund. for another agency or purpose even when pressed for cash to
get some items that may be unavailable in a week or two. We have
not provided you with ay "selection" money for graphics procurement..
If you now feel that you can use some, let us know and we'll provide
you with a small "kitty" for immediate necessities. On the other
hand, if you 4re not sure of any immediate need, you can always notify
us of a desirable item you'd like to purchase (telling us how much
you'd need for this) and let us send you the necessary funds by
return OM.
Annual Renewal Lists
The preparation of lists indicating renewal orders of current
subscriptions to newspapers and periodicals is under way. The EE
posts, most of Which face very early target dates for submitting
renewal orders to foreign outlets and dealers, are again being given
Priority treatment in drawing up these lists. The USSR list has
been completed and sent to PO Moscow, with portions of the list to
PO's in Berlin, Paris, and Warsaw. The European and Far East Satel-
lite lists are approaching cotpletion.

With respect to non-Bloc subscription renewals, I should like
to suggest special care not to renew subscriptions until after you
have received our specific requests. "Stopping" a subscription is
often more difficult than placing it. The cooperation of PO's,
GSO's and DO's in this connection will be sincerely appreciated.
PL 1180
Action on revised Library of Congress and National Science
Foundation budget estimates submitted for FY 1960 was postponed in
June until January 1961 by the Senate Appropriations Committee,
which requested submission of new PL 480 budget estimates at that
time that will take into consideration various objections and new
factors brought out in the Congressional hearings. At the moment--
and subject to change as levels of PL 480 funds available in different
countries fluctuate--some of the countries in which programs might
eventually develop are Brazil, India; Israel, Indonesia, Pakistan,
Poland, Spain, the United Arab Republic and Yugoslavia.
With funds previously authorized, the National Science Foundation
has been able to proceed actively with Its pilot project in Israel,
conclude contract negotiations in Poland for translation of Polish-
language publications, and progress well with contract negotiations
in Yugoslavia. Over 10,000 pages of translations of Russian language
publicabions have been done so far in Israel, and a change being made
in the contract there will include printing of 500 to 1;100 copies
of translations. The contract in. Poland is for 19,000 pages of
translations.
