## TOP SECRET

## Dissemination

The Briefs are widely disseminated with special efforts to provide them to the policy makers. They frequently have been earmarked for the Secretary of Defense, the 303 Committee and occasionally for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. In the early 1960's, the Briefs were disseminated selectively but more recently they have received standard STIR distribution except for those few with special classifications that have stringently limited their distribution.

E. Index of Scientific and Technical Publications

In an attempt to assure that the high level policy makers of the Government were aware of DD/S&T publications, the Monthly Index of Scientific and Technical Publications was initiated in August 1966.
