act exceeded the JCS annual requirements of eight equivalent NIS.
The contributing agencies attained 98* of NIS scheduled comaltmerft for a
unique record. of amoomlishment. This reflects not only more realistic
scheduling but, more importantly, better interagency coortination and
control procedures. However, there vas again evident a ugh production
peak towards the end of the year, vhich creates a heavy review overload and
results in unacceptable delayv in the processing and dieseminating of the
finished intelligence. More importantly, intelligence quality suffers under
such last dm production pressure. The NIS Committee is directing
primary attention to this problem of developing a more balanced production
effort throughout the year.

2430 E Street, N.W.
Washington 25, D.C.
Dear Mr. Dulles:
roar letter of November 190 19560 proposes the transfer to
the Central. intelligence Agency of the Goverment Printing Office
printing plant located, in your administrative buildiNg.
The langunge of the proposed transfer is satisfactory to ne
an I hereby concur in and recommend approval by the Joint Commdttee
on Printing of the proposal contained irL your letter of November 19,
1956, supported by Annexes- A, Bp and, C. -Please note that 1 have added
approlimately 357 items of machinery and equipment to Annexes A and. C.
All of the items have been P;lly depreciated except. item KOWO in
Amex C, Ohich is for a ruck that vas manufactured in 1955 with *154,09
still remaining to be depreciated.
Subject to approval of the Joint CoMmittee 9,4 Printing, and
immediately thereafter, 1 suggest that representatives of the Central
intelligence Agency and the Government Printing Office appriso all em-
ployes of the subject printing plant of the plan to transfer control
of the plant to the Central Intelligence Agerley, at which time all em-
ployees m4ght be urged to accept transfer to the Central Intelligence
Agency- to provide uninterrupted service by that plant. The approxi-
mately 70 employees who accepted assiGument from the Gownwtent Print-
ing Office since February 1, 1947, when the plant was placed under Gov-
erment Printing Office tzta.nagetaont, should be advised of their preroga-
tive to transfer- to the Central Intelligence Agency rolls or return to
the Government Printing Office. This would be in keeping with the pol-
icy of the Government Printinz Office to insure that employees who were
requested to accept assignatient to the subject printing plant have their
interests fully protected by the Government Printing Office.
