SUBJECT: Printing Requirements Placed on PSD
by Machine Division
The major projects now being handled by PSD for Machine Division
are joint programs with BR, GR, and DD. In each case the printing require-
ment is placed on PSD by one of the other Divisions.
The Machine Division is scheduled to receive printed Intellofax
cards from 600 to 700 mats daily. Occasionally PSD does not meet this
requirement. This places undue hardship on the Division as personnel,
equipment, and space has been set aside to process this work on a daily
basis.
The Machine Division is presently preparing 8 copies of the
Document Division Organization Abbreviation Dictionary (3 tags).
Previously the listing was prepared on multilith mats and disseminated
to interested USIB agencies. Document Division has abandoned this
procedure because the time lag in PSD was too great. This places additional
work on the Machine Division and also means that interested USIB agencies
no longer get the number of copies which they require.
I do not wish to be misquoted or misunderstood in leveling this
criticism on PSD for I have only the words of Agency employees who come
to MD with request for routine copying of documents. Many of them claim
it takes two or three weeks to get a request of this type processed through
PSD. PSD on the other hand claims that they have actually been operating
with a bare minimum of personnel and that it has only been because of each
individual effort and through the use of overtime that they have been able
to accomplish their task.
Each day I note new reproduction equipment being installed in
the building and each day requests for on-the-spot reproduction continually
increases. This is an important service that should be provided and PSD
should consider a large central copying facility where request for on-the-
spot reproduction can be done.
