Is a proper distinction made in OSI between scientific and technical intelligence? 2. Is this distinction made in the other services? 3. Does OST have proper liaison and obtain proper support from the other services? If not, what can be done about it? (See attached "Collection Activi.ti.es'~} !~. What axe OSI collection techniques and sources? Are their requirements properly set forth and what can be done to improve them? 5. Is an implementation of foreign collection desirable and how? 6. Within CIA, are collection and evaluation functions relating to scientific intelligence properly coordinated? 7. Within CIA, is the system of determining priorities in collection satisfactory? Should these priorities be reviewed by the Director as set up by the Assistant Directors after receiving them from NSC? 8. Have 050 and 00 proper technical guidance? 9. Do we ask private agencies isi this country to evaluate scientific data? Should we do so? (Can the burden, for example, be spread by having certain segments of the field processed by interested corporations?)

Is the relation with 8ovr~iat satisfactory? Does OSI give it sufficient scientific support? 11. Is there sufficient coordination so that ORR picks up at the technical stage where OSI leaves off ? 12. Does OSI have document collection independent of FDD? 13. Ixi the field of Russian scientific literature: a. Is there adequate cataloging? b. Are the linguists ~.d the analysts close enough together? c. Is the I+`DD abstract the best scanning for OSI or should the analysts have the translated tables of contents where available? 15. Do we now have I,AC intelligence production schedules and dust what, does this mean? lb. Is the JAEIC set up satisfactory? Is it necessary? 17. Can QSI, as presently constituted, fulfill 'the functions 18. Is there too great a time lag in the support received from other Agencies - Array, for example? Do we have direct contact with the Army specialists holding an ID library document or must we wait until the document comes back through channels? lq. Have we high powered enough scientific brains in OST7' In SIC?

The intention was to remove a substantial translating load from FDD and permit great exploitation of Russian scientific. and technical books. A program for this exploitation was outlined om 17 February 1951.
