MEMORANDUM FOR: Associate Deputy Dixector for Intelligence.
SUBJECT . Decontrol anal Public Sale. of FBLS FOUO Daily Reports
1. This memorandum updates my 20 November 1973 memorandum to the
DDI. The 20 November memorandum, which Mr. Proctor approved, proposed the
decontrol and public sale of the Middle East & Africa, Asia & Pacific,
and Latin America & Western. Europe Daily Reports, institution of a
restricted worldwide Daily Report using the "Privileged Information--Not
to be Released--Exempt from Freedom of Information Act" control to carry
materials still requiring protection, and discontinuance of the White Book..
We are taking the necessary steps to implement this plan, hopefully in
March....
2. We are now planning on a total of eight unrestricted Daily Report
volumes instead of six, each with its identifying colored cover and all
available for sale to the public through NTIS, Department of Commerce.
Book I. People's Republic of China
Book II. Eastern Europe
Book III. Soviet Union
Book IV. Asia & Pacific
Book V. Middle. East & North. Africa
Book VI. Latin America
Book VII. Western Europe
Book. VIII. Sub-Saharan Africa
3. The Latin America & Western Europe Daily Report currently averages
33 pages on Latin America and 2.l on Western. Europe, distributed in a total
of 761 copies daily to 222 recipients. This means that we are printing
several hundred copies a day of mare than 20 pages of Western Europe
material for consumers concerned only with Latin America, as well as
several hundred copies of more than 30 pages of Latin America material
for gratuitous distribution to Western Europe analysts. The same
situation obtains with respect to the Middle East & Africa volume. PSD
would prefer eight books in order to save paper. We believe the eight
book configuration will give us more flexibility in allocating pages

configuration with selected users, including analysts and distribution

the. new configuration, we will be working within thQ same upper limits
on th.e total number of pages for the full set of Dam Reports..
