NIS program was terminated in 1973 except for the Factbook, map,
and gazetteer components. The 1975 Factbook was the first to be
made available to the public with sales through the US
Government Printing Office (GPO). The Factbook was first made
available on the Internet in June 1997. The year 2003 marks the
56th anniversary of the establishment of the Central
Intelligence Agency and the 60th year of continuous basic
intelligence support to the US Government by The World Factbook
and its two predecessor programs.
