Discontinue Dental Program
0 11,000 0 $11,000
In FY 1981, the Dental Program was
implemented. During its genesis,
the program was felt to be an
excellent service for dependents,
and one which could potentially
diminish dental problems overseas.
Unfortunately, the hope for the
success of this program has not
come to fruition. It has been
poorly received by dependents and,
at this point, it is a
nonproductive program. It is,
therefore, proposed that this ser-
vice be eliminated. Savings would
amount to circa $11,000 per year
and permit a reallocation of human
resources.

that new requirements which

avoidance from this absorption is

Office is not manned or equipped

1. Increase Competitive Procurement Add 2 $3,000,000
The Public Law has historically
required that Government purchases
of goods and services be
accomplished using full and free
competition to the maximum extent-
practic'able. Offering all
qualified firms the opportunity to
compete helps to minimize favori-
tism and collusion and provides
assurance that acceptable products
and services are obtained at the
lowest prices. In many cases,
lack of adequate planning or lack
of personnel resources do not per-
mit competitive procurement.
There is no empirical data readily
available to quantify cost
savings from increasing com-
petitive procurement activity.
We believe a cost savings of
$3,000,0Y0 could be achieved.
We believe that additional
effort would be required to
process more competitive
procurement actions. The
equivalent of two or more
additional positions have
been used to reflect this
additional effort.

2. Control and Limit
Year-End Funding (to preclude $100,000
fund "dumping")
The contracting process is a
convenient tool used to obligate
funds whose availability for obliga-
tion will lapse at the end of the
fiscal year. In recent years, the
Office-of Management and Budget has
issued an annual directive to
agencies of the Federal Government
which limits the amount of funds which
can be obligated in the last quarter
of the-fiscal year. It is recognized
that there are inefficiencies in
entering into contracts on a crash
basis with inadequate lead time to
perform the necessary analysis for
proper contracting. The "dumping"
of funds at the end of the fiscal
year is a practice which should be
curtailed to the maximum extent
practicable.
It is difficult, if not impossible,
to assign a dollar savings if this
practice is curtailed, but we
estimate that at least $100,000
annually would be realized through
tighter administrative controls.

This activity would provide the
resources necessary to extend the
benefits of electronics-based text
creation, processing and distribution
to a greater population of users,
expecially those outside of the
Headquarters building. High
speed/quality printers, plotters,
optical character readers, graphics
terminals, and Computer Output
Microfilm (COM) recorders would be
located in the outlying Agency
buildings. These devices would be
interfaced to the central ODP facili-
ties such that they would become an
integral part of the growing inter-
connected network between Agency
components and locations. This will
eventually enable users of ODP, OC,
and OL/Printing and Photography
Division services to route their out-
put to common media centers located
closer to their work. This effort
would gradually extend information
input and output.services to remote
sites such that all users would
benefit from the information network
supported by the ODP central system.
*The efficiencies/impact of this proposal 'is unknown at this time. There
is an ongoing joint OC, ODP, and OL study on the establishment of a pilot
25X1 center in the which will determine the feasibility and
resource impact of the proposal.

Contracts and projects costing
over $100,000 usually include
requirements for logistics support--
facility planning, acquisition and.
preparation, procurement of opera-
tional and support material and
services, and materials handling
and movement. In the absence of.any
formal-procedure to identify and
plan for the requirements early in
the contract/project cycle, the
office of rogistics (OL) fre-
quently learns of the requirements
only when needs are immediate.
Forced into an essentially reac-
tive mode, OL is unable to
rationally develop and propose
alternate solutions, take advan-
tage of cost reducing techniques,
or fully respond to the basic
requirement or deadline.
A requirement to formally consider
the logistical implications of
major efforts will (1) increase
the effectiveness of all facets of
logistics support, (2) facilitate
development of more accurate
(realistic) program schedules,
(3) potentially reduce program
cost through the use of com-
petitive techniques, and (4) permit
more rational allocation of OL
financial and personnel resources.

1. Relief From Word Processing
Regulations
Advancing technology in the word
processing equipment (WPE) field
has increasingly blurred the
distinction between WPE and
automatic data processing equip-:
ment (ADPE). In 1980, General
Services Administration (GSA)
recognized this and reclassified
WPE as ADPE for management pur-
poses. However, GSA requires
that the determination of need
for WPE be governed by rules
promulgated by the National
Archives and Records Services
Administration (MARS) which
require that WPE be justified as
a typewriter replacement on the
basis of savings in typing time.
Our view is that this approach
is technologically out of date
and does not recognize that WPE
ideally is used as part of an
integrated office automation
network. Use of WPE is, in
fact, a method for capturing
keystrokes, which is the first

step in automated information
resources management. The
current NARS procedures take a
much narrower, frankly old-
fashioned view. Currently, ODP
has 4 personnel engaged in the
performance of NARS justifica-
tion studies. If WPE were
treated as ADPE, without
regard for MARS procedures,
these personnel could largely
be redirected to office auto-
mation studies. WPE would then
be justified on the basis of
the overall benefits to be
derived from attaching an
additional work station to the
office automation network and
not exclusively for its value
as a typewriter replacement.
In April 1981, we requested
that GSA grant CIA authority
to treat WPE as falling
exclusively within the
existing CIA delegation of
procurement authority for
ADPE.

Security Task Force, only
approximately 35 percent of the
applicants are actually inter-
viewed either telephonically or
in person. The savings experienced
even in the 35 percent currently
interviewed are impressive, and we
are hopeful of expanding the
program. If the program were
expanded to permit prescreening
interviews of all applicants,
direct savings to the OS of
approximately $573,000 would be
realized. There would be
additional savings to other
components of the Agency, such as
OP (less invitee travel), OMS (less
physicals), and customer components
(less resume review).
6. Up-Front Polygraph
Since the beginning of the pre- $71,000 $75,000+
investigative or up-front polygraph,
the OS has tested 46 Office of
Communications (OC) applicants and
25 prospective career trainees who
decided to discontinue their pro-
cessing based on the polygraph
results. Since field investigations
were not conducted on these indivi-
duals, an estimated $71,000 in
investigative costs were avoided. We.
anticipate the up-front polygraph
program to continue at least at this
year's level through FY-1982, or. even
to increase. Some $75,000 should,
therefore, be saved next year.
