Approved For-Release 2005/01/06 : CIA-RDP80BO1083A000100090022-2 1 April 1959 MEMORANDUM FOR: I Asst. to DD /I (Planning) SUBJECT: Electrical Transmission ofireports to OCI 1. A check with the Signal Center reveals that electrical trans- mission of reports from the L Building Signal Center to OCI with current equipment would entail the following additional steps: a. Duplicate the clear-text tape produced from the pouched tape from the field. b. Re-encrypt the clear-text tape in the system used with OCI. c. Transmit to OCI, where the tape must be decrypted. d. Run the new clear-text tape on the Flexowriter to produce clear copy (the "break-back" copy produced during the decoding process, as can be seen in the attachment, is not satisfactory because of differences in operation codes in the Teletypewriter and the Flexo- writer). 2. The Deputy Chief, Signal Center, advises that regular traffic on the two links between L and Q Buildings is currently so heavy that it is necessary to transmit some materials by courier. One reason for the present system of transmitting reproduced copies of TD's by courier is that the encrypting load is so heavy in Signal Center that TDts were being backlogged. 3. In light of the above, I s est that we delay any test of this aspect of the system until equipment is in operation between the two Si ai enters. I understand that il are now being installed, but will not be available for some weeks, as they must undergo shake-down tests prior to being used for official traffic. Asst.
