A few days ago OCD/GR asked if we would request Inspection and Security Office to establish a continuing liaison contact for three (3) Graphics Register people with four (1) persons at the National Archives, STAT 2, %I-discussed this with Physcal Security Branch, I&SO today and he believes as I do that it is de necessary to establish such a continuing liaison, The only reason such a contact would require clearance through I&50 would be if it were necessary for CIA people to reveal intelligence information to the parties STAT at the National Archives. It is my opinion and that of that the Graphics Register will not need to reveal classified data to get what items are wanted at the National Archives, Since Mr, STAT believes requests for clearance of contact should be made STAT on a realistic basis he suggested that we advise to request in writing, giving the reasons for the necessity of the action any specific requirements for requesting I&SO to give cleardnce for dealings with the National Archives.

Titles are divided into numbered and titled chapters, marta, sections and subsections, to denote delinea~ tion between subordinate functional areas under the main title. Parts, sections and subsections are identified by a five digit number- ing system. The first digit identifies the part; the second and third digits identify the section; and the fourth and fifth digits identify the subsection. For purposes of reference a subsection will be identi- fied by using the title number, the chapter number and the full section number. For example, the first subsection of the first section under Chapter II of Title 2, will be referenced as GSA Regulation 2-II-201.01. The first number identifies the title and the second number identifies the chapter. Paragraphs and subparagraphs are identified by small ; alphabetical letters and by arabic numerals respectively: for example, paragraph a, subparagraph 1. ‘Thus a paragraph and subparagraph under section 201.01 of Part 2 will be referenced for identification pur- poses as subparagraph a.l. of GSA Reg. 2-I1-201.01, or GSA Reg. 2-I1I-201.0la.1. Further subdivisions, when necessary, will be identi- fied in order by letters and numerals in parentheses, e.g., (a) and (1). Pages are identified in the upper right or left corner to show the title, chapter, part, section and subsection in which they belong. For example, a page bearing the identification "GSA Reg. 2-II-201.04" belongs in Chapter II, Part 2, Section 1, subsection 4, of Title 2, Real Property Management. The identification shown at the top of.the page will be the number of the first subsection beginning on that page. When a subsection extends beyond ons page, the continuation page is identified by "(Cont'd- )" appearing after the subsection number at the top of the page; for example, (Cont'd-2), (Cont'd3), ' etce ; After the original issuance of material under a title, revised or added ‘pages will be further identified by a date, in parentheses, in the upper right or left corner immediately below the page identification. This date will be the same as the date of the covering transmittal lettor,.
