3. Discussion was held on the need for making selective dissemination of
NIS clew is to prevent the accumulation of unvanted elements in the files of
NIS users. It was reported to D/B recently that one NIS user was receiving all
published NIS,, whereas 7 selected sections would actually fulfill the requirements
of the office concerned,, and that the growing bulk of the unused elements was
creating a storage problem.
CIA is now making a bulk dissemination of all published NIS to the IAC
Agencies in accordance with requirements established by those agencies. The
Com ttttee decided that it would be infeasible to change this procedure, and that
selective dissemination should be arranged for within the agencies. It was agreed
that members would look into this situation in their respective agencies, and
take such steps as are practicable to insure that NIS users receive only the NIS
elements for which they have an actual reed.
The Army member reported that his agency had been maldn selective
dissemination of NIS for some time, with the result that there were substantial
sure s in stock of some of the elements for which there was little demand.
These dements deal with matters in which Aran has general interest, but no
specific responsibilities... It was found that a similar situation existed in
some degree in the other agencies., and it was recognized that it would become
more of a problem as dissemination was put on a more selective basis. It was also
brought out that the surplus stocks in each agency differed as to the NIS elements
invold. Therefore, in order to reduce these surplus stocks, and bring about a-
more balanced reserve stock in the agencies, it was decided that the Csmmnittee
members would arrange among themselves for transfers of surplus NIS elements on
the agency level.
4. rs reported on the status of contributions which had been returned
to the contributors by D/B for reworking.
5. In connection with the revision of the "NIS Production Schedule" for
F.Y. 19520 which is to become effective on 1 January 1952, members were urged
to omit from the revised schedule only those NIS elements which they are certain
will be submitted to D/B during the month of December. It was pointed out that
failure to reschedule any section on which December delivery is questionaable# may
result in a carry--car of ems d,, over-hue sections at the start of the
revised schedule.
6. The Committee approved a IECM proposed list of 25 Key WWWWM
and 33 other Important Cities and Towns for Section No. 25, NIS
7. The Vice-Chairmen infoTmed the members that only 10 sections had been
