MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD:
FROM: Bruce T. Johnson
Director of Data Processing
SUBJECT: Meeting with Mr. Charles Mangio, Consultant to ADP
Services Directorate, Foreign Technology Division
(FTD), USAF, on 18 March 1981
1. TAayne Boring, Director of Scientific and Weapons
Research, and I met with Mr. Mangio to discuss possible col-
laboration between CIA and FTD on the further development of
the Telemetry Analysis & Display System (TADS). Mr. Man io's
interest in TADS was originally stimulated by
RMS/IRO, leading to a briefing on the system .
Mr. Mangio believes that TADS holds considerable promise as an
analytical tool for FTD.
2. We discussed two possible options for expanding FTD's
familiarity with the system:
a. Installing a TADS terminal at FTD. The problem with
this option lies in the fact that a computer capable of
providing the required support will not be available until
late 1981.
b. Alternatively, send three or four analysts to spend
a week or more working with the CIA TADS system. I pointed
out that because TADS is supported from our general purpose
computer center we would require each analyst to have a full
CIA clearance, including a polygraph. Depending upon the
time it takes to arrange the clearances for this second
option, it would appear to ensure earlier access for FTD to
the information they need to make program decisions involving
TADS.
3. After some discussion, we agreed that this second option
is the preferred one. Mr. Mangio will formalize the requirements
in a letter to Mr. Boring. I suggested that it would be helpful
if the letter contained the identities of the analysts and some
biographic information about them.

4. We told Mr. Mangio that budget constraints were inhib-
iting further development of the TADS system and that we would
not have significant investment capital until FY-83. FTD appar-
ently has unallocated development resources in either FY-81 or
FY-82.
5. In response to his question, we told Mr. Mangio that it
would be possible for us to receive transferred monies from FTD
and use these resources to expand the existing task-oriented de-
velopment contract which we have with TRW, the prime contractor.
6. On another topic, our visitor asked if CIA could provide
assistance in familiarizing FTD personnel with the use of VM/CMS
as an applications development tool. (FTD is switching to IBM
architecture, hence the interest in,CMS.) I told him we had
considerable experience with CMS and would be happy to share that
