MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Intelligence
Deputy Director for Plans
Deputy Director for Science and Technology
Deputy Director for Support
SUBJECT : Management Policy Gover in Automatic
Data Processing
1. There seemed to me to be a clear consensus at our
meeting of 20.August on automatic data processing that we need not
consider major organizational changes at this time as a solution to
our information handling problems. I gathered from views expressed
at the meeting that the continued existence of multiple ADP centers
may be necessary and perhaps even desirable.
2. 1 share the view that a general reorganization is not in
order, certainly not at this time. I also share the notion expressed
at the meeting that it is desirable to keep as close a relationship as
possible between the analyst and the files and data sources with which
he works.
3. If we are not to centralize management of all the Agency's
ADP activities, however, it seems to me especially important for all
supervisors and ADP managers to coordinate fully at the Executive
Director-Comptroller level all ADP plans and programs which are of
interest to other Agency components or which may affect over-all
Agency management. The means for accomplishing this already exist
in the Information Processing Coordinator mechanism under the
Executive Director-Comptroller, and I gathered from the meeting
that this machinery could stand strengthening.- An instruction to this
end will be issued shortly.
