General Note
1. Each contributing component {identified in Tab G) will
prepare its submission as a single report w]xich meets the r.ecluire-
ments o.f 'the Agency Annual Report and also constitutes a brief

management and others having aneed-to-lno~,v the highlights of the
history of the Agency based on its organizational units. It is
expected that these annual reports will reduce the requirement
for structurally oriented component histories and permit the
dedication of available writing resources more to topical and
programmatic histories involving Agency participation in major
international crises , The latter aspects of the CIA Historical
Program (Para. 5,c. of reference) will be described in a forth-
coming memorandum,
2. Components will organize their contributions to the
Agency Annual Report in the framework of the outline provided
in Tab A of the iz7structions front the Executive Director-Comptroller,

to a single entry i.n this part of the PPB outline, although.
some may ide.n-tify with more than one activity. As the .
ti-tle.of the section indicates, respondents are. not e~;pec-Led
to provide _a complete catal~gue,or postmortem of all oc~
their activities and p~:oj~cts, but rather to identify,
discuss, and rate their per:cormance in terms of major
successes and failures ir? amore detailed and sys-'temZtic
manner than in Part ~C. As in the ~"highligh"ts section, the
emphasis is not to be on a static list:i'ng of all projects
but on developments in activities in which signi~ican-t
.changes occu:rred:du_ri.nq the year. S??bjects gttaliying

accom~~lishment, employa_ng criteria appropriate to -the
activity. Such criteria may include customer satisraction,

These events, identified by clay and month and succinctly
described, may include events in other countries affecting
the activities of the component, tkze dates of component-
inspired actions, dates of R&D breakthroughs, collection,
