E N C L O S U R E
DISTRIBUTION OF JANIS TO AGENCIES OF U.S. GOVERNMENT
Report by the Joint Topographical Subcommittee
THE PROBLEM
1. a. To study reclassification on JANIS to insure their
maximum use by agencies of the U.S. Government.
b. To determine the number of each study available for
distribution.
c. To determine the disposition of remaining studies.
FACTS BEARING ON THE PROBLEM
It is not believed advisable to lower the classification
of current JANIS studies below that of CONFIDENTIAL. Certain
wartime studies have already been lowered to RESTRICTED.
3. Libraries of most Government agencies do not have facil-
ities to handle confidential material. Distribution of confi-
dential material can be made to research personnel who have
undergone security check.
4. One of the functions of the Security Advisory Board,
SWNCC, is the establishment of security requirements and pro-
cedures for clearances of civilian officials to receive classi-
fied material from the War and Navy Departments and the Joint
Chirefs of Staff. Therefore, JANIS may be disseminated to non-
military agencies of the Federal Government provided that they
are processed through the Security Advisory Board, SWNCC, who
deal with the key security officers in the various agencies.
5. Joint Security Control has approved distribution pro-
vided it is processed through the Security Advisory Board, SWNCC.
6. The number of JANIS at Army Map Service and at N-ivy Regis-
tered Publications Section is shown in Appendix "A".
