Computer Terminal Costs
-1. A recent review of the DI budget for FY83 and following
years indicates that we have a serious problem. We cannot afford
to buy enough delta data 7260 terminals to meet DI needs for SAFE
and non-SAFE uses. I would like to enlist your assistance in
solving this problem-as soon as possible.
2. My staff has reviewed possible solutions with your staff,
and as a result we have come up with four recommendations which
deserve consideration:
a. Attempt to get the cost of the delta data reduced by
50 percent to bring its cost in line with that of other
terminals which can be purchased today.
b. Continue to use the delta data 5260 and allow the DI
to acquire 5260 units which other directorates declare
excess.
c. Eliminate the TEMPEST requirement for delta data
terminals in the Headquarters building, if in fact such a
requirement exists.
d. Negotiate with a new vendor for a less expensive
terminal to be supported by VM and SAFE in addition to
the delta data.

with you or your s f. The contact point for such discussions
is hief, Analytic Support Group. Regardless of
th ch may be taken to solve this problem, I
request that the TEMPEST situation for Headquarters terminals be
