1. The !MAW has grown rapidly in the past three years.
I have been established, hundreds of highly skUled technical
have been brought an board to "keep up with the state-of-the-
new responsibilities have been outlined. As a result, many
support had to "scramble to catchup," and graphics is a prime
The pltcsticns graphics bles is still present, and
as lamg as we are forced to. depend upon another component
of the Agency to perform this function. This problem has been discussed
with the Offices concerned, but no decisions have been reached.
3. The presentation graphics area is growing by leaps and

Approved, and filled by qualified individuals, will satisfy the need.
It maybe necessary in the future to re-evaluate the situation,
depending upon requirements stemming from briefing rooms, situation
rooms, etc., vbich might well require additional support, beyond the
limits of the presentation group.
