. Plans-for New Periodic Foreign Intelligence Publications"
1. The attached revision of subject document incorporates the
amendments approved by the Intelligence Board at the 2 May meeting

agency and the Coordination Staff are requested to take appropriate
action to implement the. Board-approved recommendations as set
forth below:
"a. Each agency planning a new periodical foreign
intelligence publication in the Washington headquarters
area should advise the Coordination. Staff of its plans prior
to initiating the publication.
"b. The Coordination.. Staff should study whether the
new publication would duplicate any existing periodicals
and seek. to eliminate any such duplication in consultation

MEMORANDUM FOR r United States Intelligence Board
SUBJECT Coordination of Plans for New Periodic
Foreign Intelligence Publications
REFERENCE : Item 3, Minutes of 146th USIB Meeting on
21 March 1961
1. The United States Intelligence Board (USIB) in the reference
action agreed: (a) that the Ad Hoc Committee on Foreign Intelligence
Publications be dissolved and (b) that approximately one year from
this date the Board would consider the advisability .of re-examining
daily intelligence publications disseminated widely at the SECRET
level.
2. While this action will provide an. annual reconsideration of
daily SECRET publications, it would appear, desirable to have some
means of coordinating plans for any new periodic intelligence publica-
tions in the Washington headquarters area to ascertain, prior to their
initiation, whether they may duplicate any existing periodic publications.
3. I believe that this would be an appropriate function to assign to-
the Coordination Staff, with the cooperation of USIB member agencies
in reporting plans for any such new periodic publications to that Staff
prior to their initiation. The Coordination Staff could promptly review
any similar existing periodic publications to ascertain whether:
a. The proposed new publication duplicates in any significant
respect any existing periodical.
b. Modifications, if necessary, in existing periodicals could
obviate the need for the proposed new publication.
c. The new publication might better replace an existing publica-
tion or some parts thereof.

4. The Coordination Staff could then advise the agency planning
the new publication of its findings. If no duplication was involved,
the agency would proceed with its publication. If duplication
appeared to be involved, the Coordination Staff would seek a satis-
factory solution, or, if there were disagreement, refer the problem
to the Director of Central Intelligence for decision in consultation
with USIB .
5. Accordingly, it is recommended that the USIB agree that-
a, Each agency planning a new periodical foreign intelligence
publication in the Washington headquarters area should advise the
Coordination Staff of its plans prior to initiating the publication.
b. The Coordination Staff should study whether the new publica-
tion would duplicate any existing periodicals and seek to eliminate
any such duplication in consultation with the interested agencies,
