MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, CIA Records Management Board
SUBJECT Semi-Annual Report, July-December 1971
1. The semi-annual report for the Directorate of
Science and Technology is forwarded for your information.
2. This Directorate deposited 297 cubic feet of
supplemental distribution, inactive, and vital records
to the Records Center. According to the latest Net Gain/Loss
report received from the Chief of the Records Center, this
Directorate had a net reduction of 64 cubic feet for this
period.
A. OE:L - Five cubic feet of cable reference files
have been microfilmed.
B. OSP - A 3 M Model 200 ReaderjPrinter has been
purchased to be used for reports and engineer drawings
received on 35 MM apeture cards and 105 MM microfiche.
These microforms are being sent in from some of OSP`s
contractors. The 1971 cable reference file will be
filmed within the next 30 days. There is approximately
50 to 60 feet of cables to be filmed.
C. FNlSAC - A Recordak Rotoline microfilm camera has
been leased for 1 year for the purpose of microfilming
some 400 cubic feet of telemetry analogs.
D. ORD - The R&D Project files have been approved for
microfilming. They are presently being filmed by PSD
using the new microfiche camera. Approximately 3 cubic
feet of records have been completed. Complications have
been encountered in the preparation phase for the camera.
The nature of these files is more complic-aced than the
average microfiche application. We are convinced that
these difficulties will be overcome very soon.

microfiche applications. One project has been coordinated
with the Microfilm Coordinato~,SSS/DD/S and the other has
not been submitted.
F. OSA - 3 cubic feet of cable reference files have
been filmed, proofed, and indexed.
G. Seven DD/S&T enployees attended the Microfilm
Seminar scheduled in October.
4. Other Records Management Activities
A. Some Offices have reported a reduction of filing
equipment-due to records destruction, records retirement,
and improved records filing procedures. There were
14 - 4 drawer safes and 3 - 5 drawer card safes turned
in to supply.
B. Nine people attended the Records Management
Conference held in December. Comments received about
the Conference were quite favorable.
C. The OSI/RMO has been working on and completed
Phase II and III of the OSI archival project at the
Records Center. A total of 40 days were expended in
this effort. These files document the Scientific
Intelligence participation on USIB Committees from
1949-1969.
D. The OSA Vital Records Schedule was reviewed and
revised. This will provide .them with a broader program.
E. Two OEL forms were revised and promises of several
others that were either going to be revised~or cancelled
were received.
F. Records Control Schedules are continually being
reviewed for possible deletions or additions of file
series and shortening disposition periods on present
items.

5. In my last report I mentioned that the records program
in our Directorate was improving. This continues to be true
but I feel, like others, it will only continue to improve if
more support from our Office heads is received. It is the
Records Management Board's responsibility to make certain
that the message is passed on thru the necessary channels
and see to it that there is some action initiated.
