SUBJECT: increased CC Use of ADP Processes
1. Recently, the D/CO sent me a brief memo in which he expressed his
conviction that components of the Office of Communications should now be
making critical examinations to determine the possibility of increased usage
of Agency ADP systems in the reporting, recording, and retrieval of informa-

valuable time through the use of available Agency ADP processing systems,
then it behooves all of us to examine the situation and take full advantage
of any savings opportunities that may develop. For example, we are now
examining the possibility of automating RNA for document storage and retrieval.
2. It is hoped that the use of ADP processing of CC data will conserve
both time and effort and ultimately reduce operational costs. It is acknowl-
edged, however, that ADP techniques will prove not to be a panacea in many
applications. Indeed, it is expected that in many instances ADP processing
will not be cost effective for a variety of reasons and that an equivalent or
better report may be prepared manually due to the nature of the particular
problem.
3. In view of the foregoing, it is requested that each OC component
