MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Special Activities, DD/S&T
SUBJECT : OSP Use of OSA Support Activities
1. As you are probably all too well aware,' GSA provides
OSP with total communications support including data links
involved in our satellite activities. Additionally, your Finance
Staff handles the invoicing of our contracts, normal accounting
associated with them, and the processing of our various financial
vouchers. Your Travel Branch provides us with all of our travel
support, and your Materiel Branch handles the airlift as'sociatedo
with the movement of equipment from our contractors and take
from return missions. Your computer facilities also are called
to_task in our behalf. There. are undoubtedly other miscellaneous
efforts which your good offices perform for our benefit which I
fail to call to mind at the moment.
2. The support and response in all these activities have
been most helpful and most timely; for this we are extremely
grateful and appreciative. With the advent of the new programs
on which this Office has now received approval, we will undoubtedly
cause major perturbations in expanding our requirements and
need for additional services. While one may argue that OSP has
reached a point in life where it should go it alone to obtain and
maintain its own support activities, there is unquestionably greater
economies which can be realized by our continuing to lean on OSA
for such services. The impact of our request will demand that your
T/O be increased to accommodate our needs. While we appreciably
will not expand our communications network, the volume of traffic
will increase at our present contractors. By Fiscal Year 1969,

there will be considerable traffic Slots 25X1
been earmarked for the
but none that I know of have been designated here in Headquarters.
I call this to your attention in order that your Communications
Staff may coordinate with the appropriate people in the Office of
Communications to-determine whether or not provision has been
made to handle this traffic at the Washington end. I am not
privy to the extent to which we are taxing your. Finance Branch,
but that should also be taken into consideration.
"".- ._. 3. I am calling this all to your mind in order that your
Office may make necessary plans budgetwis.e and peoplewise to
satisfy the situation. We would be most happy to provide you
with whatever additional information your people may need in
order to adequately understand where we think we will be and
.what.support we will require in the years ahead.
