(U//A-I-H9) PDB Progress
(U//A'I'H6) CDC completed the review of PDB’s Tranche II records by 31 December 2014 the internally sent date. This CY
2014 tranche runs from 21 Jan 1969 through the end of 1974, covering all of the Nixon administration and the first few months of Ford.
These records will now be sent to NGA and NSA for their referral review.
Note: NSA completed its referral review of Tranche 1 of the PDBs in mid-November. NGA has also completed the referral review of the same
tranche. It is hoped that these two reviews will result in additional release (we redacted for the agencies under referral procedures in place at
the time of the review.) We are now integrating the results of the NSA and NGA reviews into a final product.
(U//79:1-HQ). The PICL/PDB collection has been divided into two tranches for completion in CY 2013 and CY 2014, respectively. The CY 2013
tranche (Kennedy and Johnson Administration) runs up to 20 Jan 1969 and was successfully completed prior to 31 December 2013. The CY
2014 tranche runs from 21 Jan 1969 through the end of 1974. covering all of the Nixon administration andlhe first few months of For

(U//AI-H6‘)"In addition, CDC is focusing its page counting on the review of the "clean" versions of each day's document. In general, a second
duplicate copy marked up with sourcing information has also been scanned and loaded to CADRE to sen/e as a reference record for the
reviewers. The duplicate source copies are being Denied in Full (on the basis of lst instance of exemptible information) and will not go out on
CREST. Therefore, the page targets have been adjusted to only account for the clean versions of the PICL/PDBs.‘ \
(U/1%I-H9) The total review target for Cl 2014 is S pages. That is the number of pages in the "clean" versions of the PICL/PDBs from 21
Jan 1969 through yearend 1974. Our charts reflect this as a goal for each stage of production. Included are data as 0f3 Jan 2015 . Also note
that while CDC normally counts pages as "done" when CIA staffers certify the review, we have added post-certification production steps for
external referral coordination and product generation QC as well. Nothing can be finalized and delivered until these steps are also done, though
not eveg document will require extemal referral coordination (there is no "target" for this step, it is content driven).
