21D Y RAT FOR THE CARTOGRAPSY DIVISION
Month. of January 1955
A. 4coo isbments
The Cartography Division reports the completion of 51 saps and charts.
Production *uPPOrted several components of the Agency as well as the Depart-
ment of State and the Air Force. As in previous months, considerable
effort was expended on the NIS program. Included were completions of 3
standard base maps, 2 of which were first revisions. Considerable support
was given the DD?P, primarily via D/GG projects. In addition to the support
given State for the NIS program, a significant map was prepared for a high
level conference an Southeast Asian Solidarity. The considerable number of
maps assigned to the Air Force consist of the final bases required for the
special AJOIN project that has been underway for the past several months.
During the same period, the Division accepted requests for 39 new maps and
charts with ORR and 081 being the heavy requesters. The Special Support
Branch reports the completion of the first series of 44 naps for the Air
Force project with approxieately 6O more to be completed within the first
two weeks of February. The Special Support Branch also accepted requests
for 31 separate items of work while completing 28. The NIB Flap Coordinator
had returned from reproduction 49 final NIS maps during the month, leaving
82 at the close of the reporting period. This represents a sizeable block
of work through the reproduction plant. In summary, the Division can report
a very active month both in regard to the number of requests and coupletions.
The cartographic effort was in support of several components in CIA and to
outside Agencies. At the close of the reporting period, 42 regular maps
remdued in reproduction and. note should be taken of the fact that 43 maps
were rerun during the period. This represents an unusually high number of
reruns at the request of D/GL..
B. Coordination
As a result of several informall, meetings, further efforts were mrde taward
evaluating the requirements of the Division at the Agency Repository. A
memo was prepared restating the requirements for offset press facilities and
several, new items of equipment were ordered for storage at the Center. A
meeting attended by members. of the logistics Office, GPO -State., D/B, and
D/GC, reviewed, the problem of film positives and resulted in a possible
solution to storage of NIS map negatives at the Records Center. The
problem of the NIS negatives was primarily coordinated by D/B.
