SECTION ' 

' 

EDlTORIAL INSWBuoTIONS 

' 

1. General. The Editorial Section of the Secretariat, Joint 

Chiefs o~ Staff, was established during World War II for the 

~ purpose of screening reports submitted to the Joint Chiefs of 

Staff in order to ensure--without altering the substance of the 

• 

reports--that they contain no repetitious or superfluous statements, that the content is confined to material which the Joint 

Chiefs of Staff require in rendering their decision, and that 

the reports are presented in proper f~rm. 

2. Editorial Responsibilities. The existence of the Editorial 

Section does not, however /1 relj_eve members of the Secretariat 

who are serving the supporting agencies of the Joint Chiefs of 

Staff of their primary editorial responsibilities: to screen 

carefully each report produced by their respective committee or 

agency before the report is submitted for publication, and to 

suggest to the individual(s) preparing reports such changes as 

will insure conformity with the form, style, and practices set 

forth herein. In this connection it is of interest that papers 

received from the respective Chiefs of the Ja.omy, Navy, and Air 

Force are subjected to the same editorial scrutiny as a.re those 

papers received from the supporting agencies. Editorial changes 

should not be construed as an unf'avorable reflection upon the 

author(s) of staff papers, since these changes are motivated 

by the high editorial standapqe established through several 

years' experience, and are effected for the purpose of improving 

the readability by means of clarification end condensation, 

thereby expediting action by th~ Joint Chiefs of Staff. 

3. Structure of Papers. It is manifestly impracticable for 

the Joint Chiefs of Staff to read all the papers requiring their 

action unless these papers a.re clear, concise, and restricted in 

Joint Sect. Memo 96 - 1 -

incorporated in a memorandum by the Joint Chiefs of Staff 

for the Secretal:'y ot De~ense, rather than in an enclosed

~- Collaboration and...CD~rdination 

~· The fact that a d!rective by the Joint Chiefs of Staff 

on the prepa~ation of a.repo~t is usually add:r>essed to only 

one'committee or a~ ~ld-11Gt be 1.ntel",Pte~d to mean 

that the subject matter.Qi' the directive is within the 

exclusive purview of that particular committee or agency • 

Information as to directives issued by the Joint Chiefs of 

Staff is published in the "green" and circulated for the 

specific purpose of evok~ng action by committees o~ agencies 

other than the one receiving the directive, whenever it is 

found that the study in question has, or may possibly have, 

wider aspects than appea~ on the surface. Thus, for 

instance, if 11A11 committee feels that a study assigned to 

11B11 com1ittee has implications of interest to "A", the Joint 

Chiefs of Staff expect t:Q.at 11A11 , without further directive 

or procpting, will, without delay, offer its advice and 

appropriate assistance to 11B11 • Such a system is inherent in 

the 11 joint 11 nature of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the . . consistent application of this system is the logical 

extension of the principles approved by the Joint Chiefs 

of Staf;f' in "General Policies Governing Joint Staff and Joint 

Chiefs of Staff Committees and Agencies." 

b. Some reports are assigned for action (including 

preparation of comment and recommendation on various raatters 

referred to the Joint Chiefs of Staff) to 11A11 committee 

11 in collaboration" with "B" committee. Any directive by 

the Joint Chiefs of Staff assigning a report in this manner 

has the intent that the report be prepared by both "A" and 

"B" committees concurrentl~, not that 11A11 actually prepare 

the report and merely clear it with "B" for concurrence or 

non-concurrence. The responsibility for the pr•eparation of 

"in collaboration" repo:rts rests equally with both 11A11 and 

"B", and the admi~istrative details as to which co~ittee 

"carries the ball" should be decided by the committees 

concerned.

It is recommended that

~· Notify the SecretRry 

of Defense of their views 

on this subject. 

.£. Dispatch appropriate 

directives to all unified

RECOMMENDATIONS 

It is recommended that: 

~· The memorandum in 

Enclosure "A" be·fo!'Warded to 

the Secretary'of Defense. 

]2,. Upon receipt or the 

concurrence of the Secretary 

of Defense, the directive in 

Enclosure "B" be issued to . the addressees indicated 

therein. 

NOTE: 'When there is only one recommendation, the title should be 

11RECOMMENDATION, 11 not "EECOMMENDATIONS. 11 

* It is emphasized that in acting on papers submitted to them, 

the Joint Chiefs of Staff approve only the recommendations 

therein. In some instances the reconunendations may call for 

the approval of the conclusions set forth in the paper, or the 

approval of attached memoranda to be dispatched when the 

a.pp:c•oved· recommendations are implemented. ThE:: decision sheet 

on a J.c.s. paper indicates specifically that the recommendations therein have been approved, and may, on occasion, also 

indicate othez• portions of the pape:t> included within the 

recommendations. Those portions of papers submitted to the 

Jo:tnt Chiefs of Staff not specifically acted upon by them in 

approving the recommendations represent only the origina.tor 1s 

thought processes leading toward these recommendations. 

Therefore, the discussion, facts bearing on the problem, etc., 

should not be subject to a detailed analysis by the Services 

with a view toward recommending amendments to those portions of J.C.s. papers which, in effect, have only an indirect 

bearing on action to be taken by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, nor 

should extracts from the discussion, facts bearing on the 

problem, etc., be used as an authoritative source of a position 

or doctrine of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in support of views 

expressed in a subsequent paper.
