DEAR MR. SECRETARY:
We take pleasure in transmitting to you the report of the
Ad Hoc Committee on Patent Documentation. The Committee
was established in September 1967 by Secretary Trowbridge
to study and make recommendations on Recommendations
XXIX and XXX of the Report of the President's Commission
on the Patent System.
The Committee has held nine meetings for a total of fifteen
days. During this time the Committee interviewed Patent
Office officials, Patent Examiners and Patent Classifiers and
reviewed previous Patent Office staff studies and planning
documents. The Committee appreciates the assistance it re-
ceived from all of the Patent Office officials consulted.
The members of the Committee sincerely hope that the con-
clusions and recommendations contained in the report will
assist you and the Commissioner of Patents in improving the
patent documentation activities of the Patent Office.
Respectfully yours,

SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
(1) The Patent Office is a complex operating organization
which has traditionally been inadequately funded and, as a
result, has a long history of backlogs, long pendency periods
and out-of-date search files. In spite of these and many other
long-standing difficulties, the present Patent Office manage-
ment has made substantial progress toward developing the
tools and operating organization which will permit the Patent
Office to function on an efficient, business-like basis.
(2) Effective long-range planning is required to provide
suitable guidelines for Patent Office management. There is a
basic conflict between short-term needs and long-term goals
which pervades many of the problems of patent documenta-
tion. Many of the fundamental problems of the Patent Office
cannot be solved in the short term, and require long-range
programs based on sound planning.
(3) Continuity of management and staff is essential to
Patent Office operations and should be assured. The position
