Statistics to update the capacity indicator for CR1) (April. 1982)
1. The Classification Review Division (CRD) conducts the systematic
classification review of.Agency material 20 years or older as required by
Executive order and has taken on additional review responsibilities as follows:
(a) external systematic review primarily at the National. Archives and Records
Service (NABS) where CRD reviews CIA information and documents held in the.
permanent records of other U.S. government agencies which are being reviewed
systematically; (h) review of the Foreign Relations of the U.S. (FRUS) series
for the Department. of State including its coordination within CIA; (c) review
of other official manuscripts primarily from the Department of Defense,
an activity which is expected to increase in volume over the next few years;
(d) review of non-official manuscripts written by former CIA employees, a task
that has grown dramatically; and (e) FOIA, Mandatory, and other miscellaneous
review requests that have foturd their way to CRD for action.

are as follows:

annual production for 1980 and 1981 in the systematic OSS review has been
880 cubic. feet.. (Note: One cubic foot equals about 2,000 pages.)

Staiistics to Update the Capacity Indicator for CRD - April 1982
In 1977 the Classification Review Division (CRD) was created by taking
per$onnel from each of the directorates to form a central reviewing capability
to onduct the systematic classification review of Agency material 20 years
or lder as required by EO 11652. While this has remained the major task for
CRDJ the unit gradually has been given additional review responsibilities which
hav steadily consumed a greater share of the CRD effort. These review tasks
include: 1) External systematic review primarily at the National Archives and
R cards Service (??RS) where CRD reviews CIA information and documents held in
e
thelperr:~anent records of other U.S. government agencies which are being
reviewed systematically; 2) Review of the Foreign Relations of the U.S. (FRUS)
within the
series for the Department of State including its coordination X
CIAt 3) Review of other official manuscripts primarily from the
Dep
rtment of Defense, an activity which is expected to increase in volume
over the next few years; 4) Review of Nonofficial manuscripts written by
former CIA employees, a task that has grown dramatically as shown in the
attpched chard; and 5) FOIA, Mandatory and other miscellaneous review requests
that have found their way to CRD for action.
Another current CRD responsibility is the systematic review program for
and predecessor agency records which was begun in 1972 when four annuitants
wet hired on contract to review OSS material held at MARS. This unit grew to
security classification
15 officers but is now down to 13 and expects to complete the essential/review
of ~Iermanent OSS records by the efid of the current fiscal year. Statistics
fori the earlier years of activity of this group are not readily available but
their production by cubic feet for recent years has been recorded as follows:
647
cu ft in 1979; 948 cu ft in 1980; and 811 cu ft in 1981. (NOTE: One
is feet is equal to about 2,000 pages.)
