Remarks:
Jay: This is the first of two memos we pro-
pose to send to the DDI. This one is designed
to see if we can get some high level pressure
to provide you with more slots to handle our
workload between now and the time we are able
to automate. Appreciate your comments on
this draft.
The second memo will support a joint approach
toward automation, utilizing the PHOTON
equipment.

set forth in reference above,. nil() PSI) has made certain
unitS.which have permitted BIS to consolidate press and
? -TIllications which was a major objective, the daily incroae
oY aT-p-...Oimntely 50,000 impressions. which resulted from tho
? solldation has required PSD to-re:duce by 70 the amiber of paos
nvailable daily for 173I5 paterils as well as to deiny
,..,kliv'ery of the "White Book" by 24 hours. Thus the attaiuent of
crne oojective has been oFC.'set by losses in other areas.
2. PSD mnnaement has done all that it can to help us. In
adition to the adjustments above, they have suz7osted now ,ForrAS
which might enable us to put .;ore printed material on each pa::,e?
;?,:d in an. effort to meet our requirements they are attemptin,1 to
^;cruit part-time printers. Neither course of action, however,
o'Cers cnIch hope for a.satisfsctory solution to our prc?blems and
? plain facts are that PSD cannot leot our printirw requirecuts
ylthe..:t additional staff personnel.
3. The long range solution to oar 71rintini7 requireenzs is
altom.,,tion and PSD has rocomendo.: co7nuter-assisted photoco:1-

C.211f, and experimentation will delay inplementation of this

Thus the efficient utilization of the end-product of or
