MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director (Support)
ATTENTION: Mr.
SUBJECT: Funding of the "Monthly Index of Riss.an
Accessions" and the "East European Accession
List"
1. Here is the present status of our review of this matter
in light of the GAO's comments.
2. From canvassing the intelligence community, including
our own needs, we find that the present published form of these
Indexes is not essential for intelligence purposes. However,
there are portions of the research work that goes into the
preparation of the Indexes that we would want to continue. We
are about to work with the Library of Congress to break down
the costs of the whole process in detail so as to determine
what the portions we would want to continue will cost. We also
feel certain other members of USI.B may be willing to contribute
to this.
3. We agree that CIA is not the proper agent to fund
that part of the effort now made available to the public. Who
should do so? We can only think the Library of Congress is the
logical one.
4. We would like to report further on this in thirty
