SUBJECT Computer Contingency Planning
1. The Director of Joint Computer Support has under-
taken the-development of a disaster contingency plan for the
computer-centers within the Headquarters Building. This plan-
ning effort is based on the condition that the computer facili-
ties would be inoperable for an indeterminate period of time
and would include the possible destruction of files located in
the centers.
2. Preliminary to developing a systematic disaster plan,
identification of those computer program systems that are crit-
ical to the mission of the Agency must be made. To establish
the minimum computer power and configuration required, key
characteristics of the programming systems must be known. This
system documentation would include incidence of-computer runs
required, computer job processing resources, and input/output
file characteristics.
3. To derive this basic information for the backup plan, -
you are asked to inventory all projects within your organization
critical to the Agency's mission that use the Headquarters core!--
puter facilities. Please fill out the attached worm for each
critical system and return to the Director of Joint Computer
Support by 5 December 1974.
