Director, National Security Agency/
Chief, Central Security Service
SUBJECT: Community Data Processing Support for
Capabilities Programming and Budgeting (CPB)
1. As you are aware, the new Capabilities Programming and Budgeting
System (CPB) is being implemented by NFIP component organizations commencing
with the FY 1984 budget cycle. A major element of the CPB system is tconcurrent development of data processing support that Community program
offices can use to prepare, edit, and communicate with the Intelligence
25 and
Community Staff the data and text that com rise their budget submissions
justification material for the Congress.
2. The concept of operations for the proposed system is straightforward
and can be summarized as follows: NFIP components will have electrical access
to a Community computer, using, wherever possible, existing word processing
stations as terminals. The central computer will serve as a communications
medium between the ICS and all components. In addition, the ICS and some
components will use the Community computer to maintain and manipulate their
detailed budget data. Other components may choose to use their in-house
computers for data base maintenance and provide updates to the Community
computer as required. Data and text will be merged to produce required
displays using, word processor stations--first as terminals to generate and
retrieve numeric reports on the mainframes, and then as word processors to add
the narrative descriptions. Combined displays will then be communicated with
the ICS through the Community computer, edited as required during budget
review, and ultimately form the basis for large portions of the Congressional
Budget Justification Books (CBJBs). CBJB material will be communicated from
the Community computer to the Printing and Photography Division at CIA for
photo composition and printing. ^ 25X1

3. My goal is to have an initial capability as outlined above
operation August 1982 for the larger NFIP components (i.e., CCP, CIAP,
GDIP, andi and for the entire Community in 1983. My staff has 25X1
discussed the requirements for the system with a number of Community
participants, and it is apparent that to achieve this goal we must take
advantage of efforts already under way that are relevant to the task.
Discussions with NSA personnel indicate that N2 is currently developing an
internal capability analogous to that envisioned for the Community system, and
much of the hardware, software, and data processing expertise being applied to
the NSA system appears to be directly applicable to Community needs. For this
reason, I request that NSA take the lead in providing he necessary ADP support
to fully implement the CPB system across the NFIP. u 25X1
4. As an initial step, I propose that your representatives meet with the
IC Staff to more fully detail the system requirements. An important considera-
tion in formulating the requirements is to size the Community computer to
handle both the CPB task and other Community applications that are candidates
for eventual implementation on the Community machine. Future NSA support,
perhaps in conjunction with other NFIP components, may be required for these
However, my near-term priority is clearly CPB
activities as wel~ 25X1
implementation.
5. The IC Staff action officer for this task is 25X
I believe close coordination between all participants is essent 1

within the short time available. 25X1
