MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
Director of Information Services
SUBJECT: OIS Weekly Report (7-13 March 1984)
A. PROGRESS ON ACTION ITEMS
1. Anticipating enactment of an FOIA relief bill, we have begun a
series of meetings to deal with the many aspects of implementation. On
13 March the Director of Information Services chaired a meeting of senior
representatives from the Directorates to bring them up to date on the
pending legislation. (OLL) discussed the latest
House of Representatives version drafted on 8 March and compared its
major provisions with the version before the Senate. He pointed out the
limitations on the provisions for judicial review contained in the bills
to protect the Agency from litigation impinging on sources and methods.
Although final passage is still several months away, D/OIS emphasized the
importance of developing proper procedures for identifying and
designating operational files to be exempt from search and review as
provided for in the draft legislation. He has scheduled another meeting
for 19 March to pursue the subject.
2. On 14 March, D/OIS chaired a meeting on the accessioning of OSS
documents to NARS. Attending were representatives of the History Staff,
IMS/DO, Public Affairs, and OIS. The procedures and timing were
discussed. An alert cable will be sent to the field notifying
appropriate foreign liaison services of the pending action.
Representatives of the Agency will visit NARS on 15 March to arrange for

the formal accessioning of the 198 cubic feet of OSS records temporarily
stored a there. Once the Memorandum of Understanding (as planned in an
earlier meeting with NARS, see OIS Weekly dated 7 March) is approved by
all parties, accessioning of the records will begin. There are
approximately 2,800 cubic feet of records and, once begun, accessioning
is expected to take approximately one year.
B. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND ITEMS OF INTEREST
1. A representative of the Records Management Division (RMD) met
with the EO/DDA and DA/RMO to discuss the upcoming survey of the DDA
Registry. The DDA Registry's workload has increased to the point that
backlogs occur. When the survey is completed, the findings and
recommendations will be provided to the EO/DDA.
2. A representative of RMD met with Chief, OC/OL Information
Management Center (IMC) to discuss the impact an automated message
handling system will have on its workload. The system will allow IMC to
receive and transmit cables electronically rather then depending on
courier service. It appears that additional manpower may be necessary to
operate the equipment and to perform internal cable dissemination
functions.

3. Two representatives from RMD toured two DO Automated Information
Dissemination (AID) Centers. The purpose was to compare the functions of
a DO "consolidated registry" with those envisioned for the new
Information Services Centers (ISCs) we are planning for Ames Building and
the new Headquarters Building. The primary function of a DO/AID Center
is the distribution of cable traffic. The new ISCs will provide a much
wider range of registry services.
4. Representatives of RMD met with FBIS Registry representatives to
discuss their current need for an interim automated system and their
plans regarding future participation in IRIS. It was determined they
have valid requirements for both an interim automated system (CARS) and,
later, TRIS. They will coordinate future plans with the Requirements and
Evaluation Unit of RMD.
C. SCHEDULED EVENTS
The Information Security Oversight Office and RMD representatives
will be conducting an inspection of the Office of Communications and the
Intelligence Community Staff information security programs on 15 March
1984.
