## TOP SECRET While much effort was expended and the consultants indicated their interest, it was not successful except in the few cases where the Digest was taken directly to the consultant. The procedure was discontinued in about 1965. In 1967 the transmittal of the SID to OSI contractors was discontinued except for the transmittal of individual items of interest to the contractor. The circulation of the Digest increased considerably throughout the community following the USSR's launch ing of Sputnik I when the Office was able to demonstrate that several key aspects of the Soviet satellite program had been reported and evaluated well in advance of the launching.
