Office (ISOO) that we consider a
4.
.01
change in the current sampling
method used to collect statistics
on CIA classifications decisions.
5.
Our current method is for offices
throughout the Agency to take an
DDA
-actual count of all classifications
6.
decisions for a one week period.
We then project that figure for the
entire year. It is a laborious and
7.
time consuming task for all con-
cerned but it is necessary in order
to meet ISOO reporting require-
ments.
As the D/ISOO suggests, I
9,
recommend that we do two samplings
this year, but refrain from committ
ing ourselves to future bi-annual
10.
samplings. The experience we gain
this year should show whether or
not bi-annual sampling is worth-
11.
while. The subject of sampling
methods often comes up when an
Agency reports any significant
12.
increase in classification decision
Two years ago ISOO recommended that
the Department of Defense (DoD)
13.
consider adopting our sampling
method. That year CIA classifica-
tion figures had held fairly
14.
steady while DoD had reported
an increase.

Annual Report to the President. We
will probably come in for special
mention due to the increase last
year. Since ISOO gives the report
wide dissemination, the CIA increase
could be picked up in the media.
