Procedures for Rendering Advice Pursuant
to- Annex E
1. The Office of Data Processing requests approval
to provide the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) with the assistance outlined below.
a. Description of Activity: Technical advice con-
cerning CIA ss experience with the Tape Management System
(TMS), a collection of computer programs for managing
magnetic tapes in a computer center. NOAA in Suitland,
Maryland, is considering TMS for its computer center.
Mr. Sylvester E. Walker has contacted ODP's computer
specialists and asked for a briefing on our experience
with TMS.
b. Location of Assistance: CIA Headquarters
Building.
c. Organization Involved: Office of Data
Processing.
d. Basis for Activity: The "Brook's Bill",
P.L. 89-306, encourages executive agencies to share and
exchange information related to data processing technology.
CIA is probably the only government agency in the Wash-
ington, D.C. area with practical experience with the
Tape Management System operating in a computer center
configured similar to NOAA.
