NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SURVEY PUBLICATIONS

The basic unit of the NIS is the General Survey, which is now published in a bound-by-chapter format so ‘hat topics of greater per- ishability con be updated on an individual basis. These chapters—Country Profile, The Seciety, Government and Politics, The Economy, Military Geog- raphy, Transportation and Telecommunications, Armed Forces, Science, and Intelligence and Security, provide the primary NIS coverage. Some chapters, particularly Science and Intelligence and Security, that are not pertinent to all countries, are produced selectively. For small countries requiring only minimal NIS treatment, the General Survey coverage may be bound inte one volume.

Supplementing the Genera! Survey is the NIS Basic Intelligence Fact- book, a ready zeference publication that semiannually updates key sta- tistical data found in the Survey. An unclassified edition of the factbook omits some details on the economy, the defense forces, and the intelligence and security organizations.

Although detailed sections on many topics were part of the NiS Program, production of these sections has been phased out. Those pre- viously produced will continue to be available as long as the major portion of the study is considered valid.

A quarterly listing of all active NIS units is published in the Inventory of Available NIS Publications, which is also bound into the concurrent classified Factbook. The Inventory lists all NYS units by area name and number and includes classification and date of issue; it thus facilitates the ordering of NIS units as well as their filing, cataloging, and utilization,

tnitial dissemination, additional copies of NIS units, or separate chapters of the Genera! Surveys can be obtained directly or through liaison channels fram the Central Intelligence Agency.

the General Survey is prepared for the NIS by the Centra? intelligence Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency under the general direction of the NIS Committee, It is coordinated, edited, published, and dissemi- nated by the Central Intelligence Agency.
