The minutes of the 136th meeting were read by the Chairman and approved
as amended.
1. GENERAL
The shortages of paper and film existing at the printers and engravers
was discussed. The Chairman stated that a meeting with officials of W.P.B.
was scheduled. It appears that recent Y.P.B. instructions on paper and film
allotments did not take into consideration concerns that were doing 100%
government work in 1944.
25X1A9a suggested that he be informed of any changes to the supplement
schedule in or er that he can inform all concerned and maintain a master
schedule.
The Chairman discussed JANIS and the organizational set-up for compiling
it. Criticisms and suggestions for improving JANIS were invited. In this
connection, it was suggested that field users of JANIS returned to U. S.
be interviewed for their opinions.
Captain Macomb reported that he continued to visit various libraries and
is compiling references for JANIS 70.
2. EDITORIAL
Commander Clinton reported that: (1) Last part of Chapter IV, JANIS 75
will go out today, leaving Chapters I and XV incomplete.
On JANIS 150, two chapters completed during the week and Chapter IX will
be submitted today. Nine chapters have now been completed.
3. PRODUCTION

JANIS 75 - Advance copies of Chapters XII, XIII, XIV have been received.

Engravers can not meet deadlines because of the amount of material for
processing, which in turn is delaying the printing of JANIS. In this
connection, the make-up of two chapters is'delayed because of engravings.

JANIS 74. Op-16-P-3 and B.E.B. have been notified. Lt. Hackett will be
notified today.
The Geological Survey will prepare a base map for JANIS 72 within 2 weeks.
