Report of ad hoc CIA Printing Committee,
19 December 1963, {transmitted under
cover of reference (c)].
DD/S Memorandum 63-5449, 20 December 1963
Executive Director-Comptroller Action
Memorandum A-342, 20 December 1963
1. We have reviewed the report of the ad hoc CIA
Printing Committee and noted the various alternatives out-
lined in references (b) and (c) for reducing the DD/I burden
on the Printing Services Division.
2. Several of the programs referred to have been under
study for some time, not strictly from the viewpoint of their
impact on reproduction facilities, but, more to the point, as
to their responsiveness to Community intelligence needs. This,
we feel, is the much preferred approach, as is also suggested
in the Executive Director-Comptroller's memorandum itself.
Otherwise, the reproduction tail would end up wagging the
intelligence production dog. We realize, however, that the
present situation in PSD is such as to make a current downward
adjustment in workload imperative.
3. In arriving at measures to be taken, we have noted
.that:
(a) The findings of the ad hoc CIA Printing
Committee are understandably based upon past statistics,
and a point by point response to their findings would
not necessarily give PSD the relief needed.
(b) An across-the-board cut is unlikely to pro-
vide the desired relief inasmuch as each of the four
plants involved has unique problems which are not
uniformly relatable to the individual DD/I programs
drawing on PSD for support.
(c) Many steps have already been taken, or are
being taken, by DD/I components designed to reduce
 Approved For Release 2007/10/23 : CIA-RDP72-00450R000100100001-9
rollback of the number of books disseminated and
the simplification in dissemination; the revision
downward in NIS production, the number of NIS folios
to be put through PSD in FY 65 being programmed at
38,000, down 20% from the number published in FY 63,
and 15% from that estimated for FY 64).
4. We have issued to DD/I operating components the
PSD and DD/I operating components.
S. By cony of this memorandum I am informing the
guidance and direction set forth in Tab A. The injunction
to office heads to effectively keep printing and graphics
below present levels, coupled with the devotion of increaFed
and continuing attention to this problem should, we believe,
give PSD the relief sought (which, to be consistent with the
ad hoc committee's findings, would amount to an estimated
8% reduction).
5. Should it not prove to be necessary to take some of
the steps indicated, we would, of course, expect to be in-
formed--particularly as this might apply to the production
of NIS General Surveys (which must be expedited) and to
(an important program from a public relations
viewpoin
6. On the other hand, if steps taken do not provide PSD
with the required relief, we shall either indicate further cuts
or transfer to DD/S the positions and monies necessary to meet
the needs.
7. With your permission, I would plan to work directly
with Chief, PSD to monitor the results of the current exercise
and to resolve problems arising from disagreements between
 reference (c) and that, therefore, no further action is required
at this time, either on your part or ours.
