MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, NPIC
THROUGH: Chief, TP&DS
SUBJECT: Proposed Processing Center (AMS)
1. On 4 August 1961, and again on 10 August 1961, the
signed visited the Army Map Service to attend a meeting callee
purpose of discussing a proposed National film processing sit .
the 4 August meeting, those in attendance were: TL
The 10 August meetin included-: o , L
Both of these meetings were con uc e at
a security level of Secret.
2. At the preliminary meeting on 4 August, the discussion was
limited to the broad and general scope of a proposal to establish a
film processing center in the Washington area. It was also tenta-
tively decided that the new building being erected adjacent to the
AMS Fort Sumner building might prove to be inadequate for this project,
and a proposal to ask for funds for an additional building within the
general complex of AMS was tentatively approved. AMS has a contract
with for the design of the space and environment for this
proposed processing center.
3. At the second meeting on 10 August, the representatives of
were brought up to date on AMS requirements, with particular
reference to existing and proposed equipment, as well as some of the
projected production requirements for the proposed site. Attached is
an outline prepared by AMS for consideration by the 1iI.NTL
sultants. Since the security level of this meeting was limited to
Secret, it was not possible to disclose details of the requirements
of these several systems whose input would be handled by the center.
However, the AMS representatives announced the requirement for an
18" x 9" format which would dictate the size and capacity of as-
sociated processing and printing equipment. The design of the chemical
storage and distribution system was discussed in length with particular
emphasis on those details which would affect the construction of the
building, such as plumbing and electrical requirements and the hori-
zontal or vertical planning of this feature. The chemical solution

storage and distribution plan was proposed by the undersigned sub-
stantially as it was presented in a staff study, dated 8 March 1961.
The only objection to this system voiced by any of the members
present was the probability of having to discard partially used
chemical solutions. To answer this objection, it was p possed in
the undersigned that an auxiliary storage faciityesprovi and
which partially exhausted solutions could be pumped, of duplicate
reconstituted, and subsequently used for the processing rather than original materials.
4. At this point, only two details require your attenion aannds
action. These are, (1) To what extent would NPIC participate
program financially, and substantively, such as technical support and
participation; and (2) As a proposed customer, what type and quality
of duplicate materials would be an NPIC requirement?
5. A third meeting is tentatively scheduled for the latter
part of this month, at which time it is conceivable that some direct
guidance from your office will be required in order for the under-
signed to actively participate in this program to the best interests L
of NPIC.
