MEMORANDUM FOR: DAD/CD
THRU: CIA Librarian 04
SUBJECT: Organization of Foreign Publications Branch
1. In accordance with your instructions, I have prepared an
outline plan of operations which the Foreign Publications Branch can
fulfill with a staff of 17, thirteen from FDD and four from Book
Branch, if the plan for abstracting is dropped. This outline is
attached as Enclosure 1.
25X1A9a 2. agreed to the reallocation of personnel as
indicated, but the individuals concerned have not been consulted.
3. Attached as Enclosure 2 is a memorandum from the present
Chief of Document Control Branch which outlines the problem from
his view point and points out the expected impact on the staff. It
is included for your information.
4. It is specifically understood that the procurement function
and dissemination function are entirely the responsibility of OCD
and the screening panel for FM will exist solely for internal FDD
purposes.
5. If you and AD/CD concur in this transfer, we propose to send
a carbon copy of this memorandum to Chief, FDD/OO for information,
and another copy to Administrative Officer, CD, for implementation.

b. Memorandum from DDI to AD/0 and AD/CD, 7 May 53, and
c. Memorandum from AD/O to Chief, FDD, 2 July 1953
the following proposal is submitted:
(1) Organize the CIA Library Foreign Publications
Branch to perform the following functions in the order
indicated:
a. Procure foreign language publications as
required.
b. Receive and maintain Kardex records of serials.
c. Receive and control monographs.
d. Forward copies of serials and monographs to
FDD for screening, evaluation, and return.
e. Forward copies of serials to other locations
as indicated.
f. On return from FDD, forward all monographs
to Book Branch for cataloging, and publish an accession
list with abstracts if personnel strength permits.
g. Forward monographs to requestor or Library file
if not in response to a specific order.
h. Provide reference and circulation services
to FDD as required.
2. As the referenced papers require a division between FDD and
CIA Library of activities which have previously been done by the same
personnel, it becomes necessary to reallocate the personnel. It is
therefore proposed that the following personnel be transferred from
FDD to OCD:
