Where no such committees already existed, ad hoc ones were formed to approve outlines of future work and to allocate production responsibility to the agency or agencies best qualified to produce the section or subsections assigned. The assignments were as follows: Section 71 to the Joint Electronics Intelligence Committee; Section 72 to the Joint Guided Missile Intelligence Committee; Section 73 to the Joint Atomic Energy Intelligence Committee; Section 74 to the Joint Biological Warfare Intelligence Committee; Section 75 to the Joint Chemical Warfare Intelligence Committee and Section 70 and Section 76 to ad hoc committees. Subsequently, during 1951, OSI was assigned the responsibility for the production of the Sections 70 and 76, and through the mechanism of providing the secretariat for the SIC, OSI also assumed the responsibility for coordinating the other sections through the SIC subcommittee system and for the coordination and editing responsibilities of the entire Chapter VII. At the same time, OSI through the SIC mechanism assumed the responsibility for the production of Section 17 (Brief). This section, a part of Chapter I, briefed down the contents of the entire Chapter VII. OSI continued to be responsible for the production of the Sections 17, 70, 73, and 76 until FY 1963 when the Chapter VII was abolished.
