Publication Should Be Encouraged 



The release of information from security regulations is but one phase of 

 the problem. The other is to provide for preparation of the material and its 

 publication in a form and at a price which will facilitate dissemination and 

 use. In the case of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, 

 arrangements have been made for the preparation of manuscripts, while the 

 staffs under our control are still assembled and in possession of the records, as 

 soon as the pressure for production of results for this war has begun to relax. 



We should get this scientific material to scientists everywhere with great 

 promptness, and at as low a price as is consistent with suitable format. We 

 should also get it to the men studving overseas so that they will know what 

 has happened in their absence. 



It is recommended that measures which will encourage and facilitate the 

 ■preparation and fmhlication of reports he adopted forthwith hy all agencies, 

 governmental and private, possessing scientific information released from 

 security control.
