SUBJECT : Reporting Status of UNIVAC Equipment
REFERENCE OC-M 69-192 dated 8 April 1969, same subject
1. As you suggested, I have discussed the reporting requirement
for the UNIVAC 1004s and 9300s with the Information Processing Coor-
dinator for the DDS&T. He assures me that there is no reason not to
report this equipment. Apparently there has been some misunderstanding
because the IPC/DDS&T and the IPS/OPPB tell me that this equipment was
reported by OSA until the time of its transfer when some confusion
seems to have crept in. The logic supporting including it in the ADP
reports is that the purpose and use of the equipment is not revealed by
its identification. The reporting exclusion authorized in the ADP MIS
manual refers only to specially built, single purpose types of equip-
ment which by design and characteristics would disclose the nature of
their use. General purpose equipment must be reported even though it
is dedicated to one specific application.
2. I would appreciate it if you would have the appropriate
transcript sheets submitted to reflect the acquisition of the UNIVAC
equipment by unit 402 and.that subsequent transactions affecting it be
reported according to procedures in the MIS manual.
