(U//FOUO) Analysts: CIA Reports Are Changing Format; Check Your
Anchory Retrieval Strategies
FROM: Consumer Services (S12C)
Unknown
Run Date: 07/07/2006
(S) Please note that beginning 13 July 2006, the CIA's National Clandestine Service (NCS,
formerly DO) will be changing the format of its intelligence reporting, which may require some
NSA/CSS analysts and others to make adjustments to their current retrieval strategies for CIA's
TD and TDXs, at a minimum.
(s) Specifically, NCS (DO) will start using National Intelligence Priority Framework codes (e.g
TERR for Counterterrorism) in the subject line/titles of their intelligence reports, in place of the
prosigns (e.g. CT) currently in use. For your reference, we have included a table below that
maps the current two-letter prosigns to the four-letter NIPF codes that will be replacing them.
Topic

Converts to NIPFs:

Here are some examples of how CIA (DO) report titles will look after the conversion:
SUBJ: WMDM/SPCE : BACKGROUND ON XYZ WEAPONS
SUBJ: TERR: TALIBAN PLAN FOR AMBUSHES
(S) We do not have information at this time whether this change will affect CIA's CIR
(Cryptologic Information Report) reporting. While this conversion is scheduled to take effect on
13 July, not all DO reporting will reflect the change at that point, so profiles/queries may need
to be adjusted to detect either prosigns or NIPF codes. If you require any assistance modifying
Non-Interactive Retrievals for ANCHORY, please contact the ANCHORY Help Desk at
or via e-mail at DL_ANCHORY. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
