reports are recommended to the DDI for transmittal to the Secretary of Defense. About 45 percent of the total production is disseminated to various offices of the DDI and the DDS&T, with an equal number sent to the intelligence producing components of the armed forces. Copies are also sent to the DDS&T overseas representatives. Throughout the period 1949 to 1968, several consumer reaction surveys have been made. The latest, made at the recommendation of the IG in December 1964, requested evaluations from designated recipients of specific reports, the worth of which or lack thereof was in need of confirmation. The survey which was conducted throughout FY 1966 indicated positive response to OSI reports and wide dissemination throughout the Government.
