The Director, Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) reported to the Director of Central Intelligence that ISOO's FY 1986 on-site inspections showed that the Agency is in full compliance with Executive Order 12356. 2. Representatives from the Classification Review Division (CRD) met with representatives from the Systematic Review Group, Department of State, to discuss problems related to the review of foreign government information. During the discussions the State representatives expressed concern about assuming additional review responsibilities in support of the Agency Historical Review Program because of limited resources and other priority requirements. They suggested, however, that in view of the Agency's usual thoroughness a second full Department of State review for coordination might not be necessary. 3.

The State review specialists were invited to discuss declassification questions that the History Review Branch has identified during pre-review study of numerous issues of the CIA Current Intelligence Bulletin from the period 1945-60. The seminar concentrated on the problems related to foreign government information and foreign relations sensitivities as these are viewed from the perspective of the Department of State. While firm conclusions were not reached the CRD reviewers obtained a better understanding of how State reviewers tend to handle information in these areas. One possible problem was indicated when Dwight Ambach, Chief of CDC/SR, complained that their workload was so great in handling the material destined for the Foreign Relations of the U.S. series that he does not see how they will be able to take on the additional task of coordinating on the review of material from the Agency's Historical Review Program. Mr. Ambach implied that one solution might be to see the results of the Agency review and if they are sufficiently well done CDC/SR may not have to conduct a complete review to coordinate.

Chief, Information Services Branch, and Chief, Information Technology Branch, chaired the first meeting of the CDOCS Users Group on 8 December. Considering the volume and variety of questions and complaints we've received concerning the system, the number of attendees representing 13 Information Services Centers and Registries was disappointingly low. The consensus of those attending was: that the meeting provided a valuable forum for exchanging CDOCS information and an excellent opportunity for discussing mutual problems and ways to resolve them. It was decided to hold the meetings on a regularly scheduled basis and that meeting minutes will be recorded and provided to each attendee. c. Micro ~Tnf ation Management Branch, along with of P&PD's Computer Output Microfilm Center (COM), visited to survey the feasibility of a potential COM application on 8 December. The application appears to be made to order for COM and would eliminate 200 cubic feet of records being deposited at the Agency Archives and Records Center (AARC) annually.
