SUBJECT: Foreign Publications Subcommittee, CODIB
Responsibility for the exploitation of foreign language
publications for intelligence purposes was assigned to the
CIA in NSCID #2, para. 9, and the DCI was directed therein
to coordinate this activity with similar activities main-
tained by the USIB departments and agencies to satisfy their
own requirements. For the latter purpose the Committee on the
Exploitation of Foreign Language Publications (CEFLP) was es-
tablished in 1958 under the aegis of the USIB, and met
approximately thirty times during the period 1958-1963. In
connection with a general reduction in the number of USIB
committees, the CEFLP was abolished in May 1963 and coordi-
nation was conducted informally until December 1966, when
USIB's Committee on Documentation (CODIB) established a
Foreign Publications Subcommittee, the staffing of which was
concluded and announced in May 1967. This new committee has
not yet met.
