MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: OIS Weekly Report (17-23 November 1982)
Classification Review Division
During 1981 and early.1982, CRD reviewed all the NIEs and SNIEs that
were published before 1964. The result was that 369 could be
declassified from the CIA point of view. Since they are creations of the
Intelligence Community, it was also necessary to coordinate their
declassification with up to six other agencies. Letters have been sent
to the appropriate agencies to effect coordination, but the response to
our requests has been slow. The reviewing responsibility in some
agencies has apparently not been clear, piany agencies could not find
copies of the documents, and many claimed higher priority tasks which
left no time for the NIEs and SNIEs. The Army and Joint Chiefs of Staff
deferred to the decisions of DIA, but DIA had not come into existence
when most of these estimates were published. To speed up the
coordination process, CRD instituted a system where we call up material
by geographical area to our offices for review by the representatives of
the coordinating agencies. State and the Air Force have responded and
they have now completed review on about half of the material. They so
far have concurred in release of all but about 12 documents.
CRD has learned that the Chief of the Systematic Classification
Review Group, Department of State, will leave at the end of this year.
He will be replaced on an interim three-month basis by a State Department
annuitant who will work on contract until a permanent replacement is
chosen. F-1
CRD reviewed four OSS documents (5,652 pages), one DOD document
(three pages), 31 documents of the Foreign Relations of the United States
series (87 pages), nine DOD manuscripts (11 pages), two documents (four
pages) for State Department, two manuscripts (463 pages) for the
Publications Review Board, nine documents (1,777 pages) related to the
Released Information Management System, and 14 miscellaneous documents
(nine pages).

Records Management Division
Representatives of RMD and the DCI Security Committee met with DOD
representatives to discuss the current status of DOD implementation of
the DCI's classification guidance on National Foreign Intelligence
Program resource data. Everyone except the Army agreed that the DCI
classification guidance and the DOD interim guidance issued by the DOD
Director of Information Security were sufficiently clear. The Army has
problems with certain program elements of the General Defense
Intelligence Program (GDIP). The Director of Information Security will
redraft the interim DOD guidance to clarify certain points for the Army.
If the Army still feels that certain program elements of GDIP should be
exempt from the DCI guidance, an exemption will be requested from the
Intelligence Community Staff.
Chief, RMD, Chief, CRD, Chief, Records Systems Branch (RSB), and the
Agency Historian met with an OGC representative who was researching the
possibility of recalling CIA records from the Presidential Libraries at
the request of the DO.. The OGC representative seemed to agree, after
hearing the political and practical problems this approach would entail,
that it would be preferable to explore other alternatives for solving the
perceived problem of sensitive CIA information appearing in White House
records holdings.
Two RMD officers visited the Office of Communications Records
Management Officer to discuss the OL/OC Registry merger survey report.
The report was favorably received by the Director of Communications, and
most of the recommendations were approved and are being implemented. A
meeting has been scheduled between the DO and OC to discuss the transfer
of the pouching function to the DO.
RMD has been informed by the Department of' State that certain medical
and dental forms previously obtained from the Department at no cost now
will have to be purchased because of limited Department funds. The
Agency will be notified when procedures for ordering the forms have been
worked out. F-1
RMD and National Archives and Records Service (NARS) representatives
met for a general discussion of the recently submitted DCI and
Independent Offices revised records control schedules. NARS still
expects the revised General Records Schedule to be available to Federal
agencies at the beginning of the new year. 0

Information Technology Branch (ITB) members met with representatives
from OGC and ODP to discuss the revamping of OGC's registry and the
proposed ADP system for tracking cases within OGC. A consultant from the
Securities and Exchange Commission gave a briefing on the proposed
changes. Although there appears to be no significant technical problem
with OGC's proposal, there are questions regarding the records management
procedures associated with the new system. RSB has been informed and
will be in contact with OGC on the matter. F__7
The Design and Development Section of ITB produced two new versions
of Report RA9509 (Total Cases Outstanding by Year) for the Information
and Privacy Division (IPD). One version of the report provides totals
for outstanding actions while the other provides totals for outstanding
coordinations. ITB also conducted for IPD a demonstration of the
retrieval capability developed through enhancements to the STATUS menu
for Directorate ADD-ACCESS.
An RMD representative attended an after-hours presentation by PRC
Government Information Systems. The presentation was made by a member of
PRC's research and development staff on "OOptical Video Disk and Image
Data Transmission in Office Automation."
