Memorandum
? Director of Basic Geographic Intelligence
DATE: 16 kpril 1971
FROM Deputy Chief of Cartography Division
SUBJECT: The Peterson Package, Per Your Request
1. The briefing package for Mr. Peterson, the President the
President's Counselor on International Economic Policy, was a major
exercise in the Division, involving the full-time efforts of four
people most of the time and ten people some of the time. The first
production cycle, 25 March to 9 April, took 439 man-hours to complete,
including 151 hours of overtime.
2. The second production cycle, 12 April to 15 4pril, took
45 man-hours, including four hours of overtime. It involved several
new boards and innumerable chanIes to the old ones.
3. Needless to say, this achievement was made possible by the
positive attitude of the Printing Services Division (we take our own
for granted) who made every effort to make our interim deadlines as
well as the final one.
4. OER, supplied most of the
raw data. worked directly with Mr. Peterson on arranging
it. The total product will be:
57 30" x 40" boards
57 page-size photo prints
57 35 mm slides
;?00 color copies, page-size, of each board
5. It is our understanding the briefing has been given to the
Cabinet and to Governor Rockefeller, in New York. It is also to be
given at Camp David over the weekend.

This is only a partial accounting of
Cartography Division's support for
Mr. Peterson. I believe that Ed Allen will
be making a similar report.
Although a "successful" effort, I'd like
to underline that it was possible only because
our graphics people were not under the gun
for NSC or Congressional briefings and were
*ble to slip a number of other projects that
could not compete for this priority, although
they were indeed important.
In short, it was a great piece of work,
but as a way of life we AI quite be able to
hack it.
