NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE SURVEY PUBLICATIONS
The basic unit of the NIS is the General Survey, which is now published in a bound-by-chapter format so that topics of greater per- ishability can be updated on an individual basis. These chapters—Country Profile, The Society, Government and Politics, The Economy, Military Geog- raphy, Transpertation and Telecorimunications, Armed Forces, Science, and Intelligence and Security, provide the primary NIS coverage. Some chapters, particularly Science and Intelligence and Security, that are not pertinent to all countries, are produced selectively. For small countries requiring only minimal NIS treatment, the General Survey coverage may be bound into one volume,
Supplementing the Genera! Survey is the NIS Basic Intelligence Fact- book, a ready reference publication that semiannually updates key sta- tistical data found in the Survey. An unclassified edition of the factbook omits some details on the economy, the defense forces, and the intelligerce and security organizations.
Although detailed sections on many topics were port of the NIS Program, production of these sections has been phased out. Those pre- viously produced will continue to be available as long as the major portion of the study is considered valid.
A quarterly listing of all active NIS units is published in the Inventory of Available NiS Publications, which is also bound into the concurrent classified Factbook. The Inventory lists all NIS units by area name and number and includes classification and date of issve; it thus facilitates the ordering of NIS units as well as their filing, cataloging, and utilization.
Initial dissemination, additional copies of NIS units, or separate chapters of the General Surveys con ke obtained directly or through liaison channels from the Central Intelligence Agency.
The Genero! Survey is prepared for the NIS by the Central Intaltigence Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency under the general direction of the NIS Committee. It is coordinated, edited, published, and dissemi- nated by the Central Intelligence Agency.
