Draft of Fourth Annual Report
Members of the Procurement Subcommittee are to report by Friday,
25 January 1957 their approval of the draft of the Annula Report and/or
any changes proposed. It was suggested by the ACSI representative that
the Procurement Subcommittee meet once every month. This was approved
and adopted. Copies of Section 943, Chapter 900, supplement to Volume 4
of the Foreign Service Manual will be obtained end made available to members
of the Subcommittee.
3. U.S. Customs andDomestic Bookdealers
The NSA representative detailed a problem facing U.S. bookdealers
who import publications issued in Soviet Orbit areas. The U.S. Customs
office detains such mail, pending a screening to determine whether it
contains prow derogatory to the U.S. Many such bookdealers report
that because of this situation, they are unable to maintain a current stock
of materials or service specific orders on time. NSA utilizes such book-
dealers and requested any method whereby its orders and book selections
might circumvent such detention and subsequent screening. Apart from
using postal drops cleared with Customs, it was suggested by the Chairman
that the matter be brought to the attention of the Customs authorities in
New York.
