The primary consideration in selecting topics has been to disseminate information of immediate applica- bility. based on the best available sources. In addition to much hitherto unpublished material, information previously dissemi- nated in brief or tentative forms in MID periodicals and bulletins is combined with new material on the same subject when exhaustive treatment of that subject is necessary. All issues are classified "Restricted," except Nos. 12 and 13 ("Not To Be Published") and Nos. 15 and 17 ("Confidential").
