Subject: Status of Microfilm Project.
1. Project M-16
This project involves the microfilming of intelligence information documents =e -.
ceived from other agencies, with special emphasis on the microfilming of those
received in one copy only. A considerable backlog in microfilming of single
copy items has developed. This portion of the project requiring about one-half
of the time of one camera operator can be elinaini,ated if the present operator
detailed to the Library for microfilming purposes rem-.ins on the Job. After
.this backlog has been eliminated the operator can begin to microfilm the other
holdings of the Library.
In order to microfilm the bulk of the Library collections two (2) cameras should
be used on a full time basis. The library should review the film promptly after
processing, :nd should carefully babel the film carton boxes in which the in-
dividual reels are stored. "etakes should be spliced onto the beginning of the
reels in which the illegible im-iges occur.
If all of the Library holdings are microfilmed n order according to the CIA con-
trol numbers, and if adequate subject finding aids are maintained it should be
possible to reduce the amount of microfilming of copies of these same documents
in the various Offices and Staffs.
