MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Di rector for Administration
Director of Data Processing
SUBJECT: ODP Report for Week Ending 17 June L983
1. SAFE
Twenty Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) personnel
completed the first SAFE-D Early Capability (EC) training
course at Arlington Hall Station on 10 June. Favorable
comments were received from the students. Constructive
comments will be factored into future training courses. All
files on the SAFE-D system have been allocated and the
applicable security directories were updated for the second
class of 20 DIA users which commenced on 13 June. This class
is being conducted by the Office of Training and Education
(OTE).
Project Director and
Deputy Project Director respectively, visited Captain Brooks at
Commander in Chief, Atlantic Command (CINCLANT J-2) on
15 June. The purpose of this visit was to hold discussions on
CINCLANT's utilization of the DIA structured files.
A briefing and demonstration of SAFE EC was held on
16 June. Attendees included Messrs.
2. RECON Guard Unfunded Requirement
The Office of Data Processing (ODP) submitted an
unfunded requirement to the DDA for the purchase of additional
hardware and software to support RECON Guard program testing.
The additional equipment would permit extensive testing without
the risk of exposing sensitive Agency data.

3. External Procurement
ODP concurred with an Office of Communications (OC)
Request for Proposal (RFP) for the acquisition of TEMPEST
personal computers (PCs) for use as communications terminals.
The terminals will not interface with any ODP systems and there
will be no ODP support required. The concurrence was based on
the criteria of and was specifically limited to PCs 25X1
purchased for use as c_mmuni.cations terminals under the
resulting contract. 25X1

4. Unclassified System
The Information Systems Security Officer/ODP
(ISSO/ODP) surveyed proposed areas in Headquarters (Systems
Programming Division/ODP) and Ames Buildings (Special Projects
Staff/ODP) for the installation of terminals that will give
access to the unclassified system located in the Northside
Computer Center. It appears that there will be sufficient
separation from the terminals that access the classified
system; it will, however, be a rather tight fit in SPD. The
unclassified system will be used as the back-up to the DIA
classified system. The switchover of the classified system to
unclassified processing is of security concern. The control
processor (3082) contains the PICALO file (a special disk with
a diagnostic file); once it is used in classified mode, it must
be handled as classified. A separate PICALO file will be
purchased for use during unclassified processing. Memory in
the 3083 processor can be sanitized. The disks and tape drives
for the unclassified system will not be used during classified
processing; separate hardware will be used.
5. Logistics Integrated Management System (LIMS)
The final draft of the Detailed Systems Requirements
Document (DSRD) and the Data Requirements Document (DRD) were
delivered to the LIMS Development Contractor. These project
documents were developed by members of the LIMS System
Development Group, which is composed of analysts from the
Offices of Logistics, Finance, and Data Processing. The LIMS
Development Contractor is responsible for presenting the LIMS
System Requirements Review and producing the final DSRD and DRD.
6. Decision Support and Information System for Terrorism
(DESIST)
The Option Paper was prepared for the DESIST Executive
Committee and was reviewed by D/ODP. The objective of the
Option Paper is to present our recommended hardware funding
approach to the DDI.
7. Actuarial Su ort to Treasur Department for CIA
Retirement and Disability System CIARDS
The annual update for the actuarial forecasts was
completed on 10 June. Program and data changes were made to
forecast the costs of the CIARDS with employee contributions of
nine and 11 percent. Regina Van Valkenburgh, the actuarial
representative from Treasury who had been working with the
Applications' programmer for the past two weeks, returned to
Treasury on 13 June.

8. General Accounting System (GAS)
The Office of Finance (OF) conducted User Training
Classes for the Major GAS Enhancements Project this week.
These classes instructed the office/directorate level budget
and finance officers on how to use the system to directly input
obligation and commitment data in an on-line environment as
opposed to the current method of creating input forms for
IV Phase keying and batch input. The system is now, at the
request of OF, scheduled for implementation in October to
coincide with the start of the new fiscal year. The Project
must still be completed by 1 August due to the large workload
in August and September associated with the end of the fiscal
year.
9. Support to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Members of Processing/ODP met with representatives of
the FAA, at their request, to discuss using VM and IBM 308X
type hardware to modernize the IBM 9020 computers which were
installed in the Air Route Traffic Control Centers during the
late 1960s. We provided them our comments on the feasibility
of the proposed replacement plan along with our failure
statistics on the number and types of outages, availability,
etc. Engineering Division/ODP is providing them further data
on failures caused by problems unique to IBM's VM/SP Operating
System.
10. Computer Centers
Two IBM 3083 processors have passed the 30-day
acceptance test with 100 percent availability in the Northside
Computer Center.
On 14 June, General Services Administration (GSA)
began removal of the wall between the point area and the tape
section in the This renovation is needed to
house additional cut-paper devices and to improve airflow.
This action also is the initial effort to expand the tape
storage and enhance the tape pool areas. The work is expected
to be completed by 17 June.
This wall removal activity resulted in the accidental
activation of an emergency power shutdown by GSA which caused
the loss of virtually all central services for 90 minutes. An
investigation has been initiated to identify contributing
circumstances and preventative procedures.
