1. References are the attached memorandum from the DDI and copies
of the proposed DCID 2/5 and existing DCID 2/5 effective 25 July 1963.
As the DDI memorandum indicates, the purpose of the redraft is to define
more precisely the responsibilities of other USIB agencies in the pub-
lications procurement program--especially the Department of State role.
2. The proposed revision was coordinated at senior levels of the
Community in late 1972 and approved,by Director Helms in February 1973
as part of a package of revised DCIDs, but the revised DCIDs were not
promul gated.
3. It is requested you approve dissemination of the proposed re-
vision of DCID 2/5 to USIB principals with a request for vote sheet
action.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy to the DCI for the
Intelligence Community
SUBJECT : DCID 2/5, Procurement
of Foreign Publications
1. The Central Reference Service (CRS) of the Intelligence
Directorate carries out the responsibilities of CIA in ensuring
the coordinated procurement of foreign publications for national
intelligence purposes, as defined in DCID 2/5 of 25 July 1963.
2. In order to define more precisely the responsibilities of
other USIB departments and agencies in this program, a new DCID
was drafted and dated 2 February 1973, but it has never been
promulgated.
3. I request that the 2 February 1973 version of DCID 2/5
be approved and issued by the DCI in the interest of enabling CRS
to enhance its effectiveness in coordinating the foreign publications
procurement program.
