MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
erector o Information Services
SUBJECT: OIS Weekly Report (29 November - 5 December 1984)
A. PROGRESS ON ACTION ITEMS
1. Ames Buildin ISC. All OIS components have agreed to the
registry support and mail procedures to be provided by the ISC. On
3 December 1984, a centralized document control, mail receipt, and
delivery point was implemented in OIS. ISC services in Ames were further
expanded with the activation of the DACOM facsimile machine. The DACOM
facility will provide Intelligence Community Staff and other Ames
Building components a more rapid system to transmit and receive
classified documents. The DACOM link is currently limited to
transmitting material to the Headquarters Building,
2. Historical Review Program. The Director of Information Services
(D/OIS) anof er representatives from OIS met with the Chief, DCI
History Staff, to discuss the latest steps in getting the new Historical
Review Program under way. A schedule of steps for implementing the
program is being proposed to the DDA. C/DCI History Staff will begin
consultations with historians/researchers inside and outside of
government for identifying topics of interest. The History Staff will
draft the DCI response on the feasibility of a historical review program
pursuant to the new CIA Information Act. The Classification Review
Division (CRD) will search for already reviewed and declassified material
as first offerings under the program. Among suggestions are files which
have been cleared by the old OSS Review Team for the period 1945 to 1947
and material declassified during OIS/CRD's old Systematic Review Program.

B. SIGNIFICANT ACTIVITIES AND ITEMS OF INTEREST
2. Systematic Review of National Intelligence Estimates. When the
systematic review program was suspended, CRD had outstanding the review
of some 369 National Intelligence Estimates (NIE). These documents had
been selected by CRD analysts as suitable for declassification; however,
because the documents were jointly produced by all agencies in the
intelligence community, it required a massive coordination program.
Moreover, since the NIEs were dated between 1950 and 1965, the copies
originally distributed had since been destroyed or otherwise were
impossible to locate. Consequently, for two years CRD hosted a number of
community reviewers who examined the record copies. This program--begun
in 1982--has now been completed. Of the 369 estimates, 37 were denied
declassification, primarily by the Department of State for foreign
relations reasons. The remaining 299 NIEs have been declassified, the
information entered into the DARE system, and are now available for the
historical review or any other program.
3. Shelving for Records Center. On 28 November the Chief of the
Agency Archives and Records Center (AARC) visited the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) to exam their movable shelving complex. The NRC's
shelving is the same type that probably will be installed at AARC by the
same company. The shelving incorporated several improvements, including
features that reduce the amount of maintenance required and the amount of
noise generated. A feature of particular interest was the ability to
hand crank the movable shelving when motor service is inoperative,
whereas the movable shelving at AARC must be pushed by hand when its
motors are not functioning. The Corps of Engineers is working up a
detailed assessment of the work required to install the shelving at the
Center. 7_1
