Research and Reference Aids.

OMB Funding Title/Code: 99-0000-9-9-000. Availability: Agency Contact

Geographic Relevance: International

Purpose: Publications are issued to support the intelligence needs of U.S. Government officials; they provide basic background and current information about foreign countries on topics of interest to these officials. Input: The information is collected primarily from foreign newspapers, books, magazines, journals, and official publications of foreign governments. Content: The publications in these aids cover a wide range of subjects, with economic and biographic information predominating. The biographic reference aids are directories and listings of foreign officials, especially those of Communist and Communist Bloc countries. (These aids include "Chiefs of State and Cabinet members of Foreign Countries, appearances of Chinese and Soviet officials, and some wall charts showing the names and positions of foreign government officials.) For the most part, the economic reports deal with the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China; however, the "Economic Indicators Weekly Review" is concerned with the major non-Communist developed countries. The "National Basic Intelligence Factbook" is issued semiannually and includes information on all countries of the world. Other reports are issued irregularly on specific political, military or geographical topics. Directories, statistical compilations, Atlasses, and fact books are also produced.
