MEMORANDUM FOR: Support Service Historical Officers
SUBJECT : Procedure for Submission of Historical Reports
REFERENCE : Memorandum to the Directors of support offices from
the DDS dated 12 December 1969, subject: Completion
of CIA Historical Program (DD/S 69-5571)
1. Mr. Bannerman's memorandum of 12 December 1969 urges that
each office work as closely as possible with 25X1A
Support Services Historical Officer (SSHO), to ensure that arge tes
for the completion of historical reports are met. In order to minimize
.the revision and rewrite of histories as they are developed and the
consequent delays in their completion, I believe it would be desirable
25X1A9a that advice and guidance be sought at the very beginning
of researc an ou line preparation. Consultation between the authors
and the SSHO at this and,subsequent stages should simplify the overall
process. The procedure to be followed is shown schematically in the
attached flow chart. This procedure has been tested with some of the
Support Offices and we believe it has demonstrated enough utility to
make it worthwhile adopting as the general procedure for all of the
histories. Writers who are not already working directly with 5X1A9a
should call him immediately.
