Excerpts from ODP Staff Meeting - 14 January 1983
1. ODP has two new SIS'ers and congratulations are extended
2. The DDA, D/ODP, and D/CSPO are scheduled to be on the
Hill next Friday, 18 January, for an informational briefing on
SAFE.
We will have an early replacement for DC/AS/ODP; Jim
will EOD for an overlap of two weeks.
4. I explained the two notices recently issued by
the Credit union on interest rates. Loans can be renegotiated at
the available lower rate, but you have to go down yourself to
renegotiate. It is not done automatically. On Super Share Draft
Accounts, you get the advantage of the higher daily interest rate
for the days you have $2,500 or more in your account. For the
days you have less than $2,500, you get the lower rate. All
interests are calculated on a daily basis, as opposed to the
monthly calculations used by most banking and savings
institutions.
5. The D/ODP alerted everyone to an article on the DCI in
25X1
25X1
the Sunday New York Times Magazine for January 16, 1983. 25X1
6. There was a video tape shown at the DDA Staff meeting on
Thursday, 13 January. It was a PBS show on National Security and
included discussions of the ethics of conducting covert action
C/AS is trying to get a copy of the tape for viewing in ODP. 125X1
7. Attached are the excerpts from the ODP Division/Staff
reports, and the weekly report to the DDA. 25X1

travelers. None were delinquent, but one accounting is 22 days
Federal Software Exchange Program. The Acting Director of
Data Processing replied to a DDA request for information on the
Federal Software Exchange Program (FSEP). This is a GSA-managed
service that maintains a library of conmon-use software obtained
from federal agencies. The software is available to an agency
for a modest charge. In the past, Management Staff has made ADP
Control Officers aware of the program and CIA offices have
provided unclassified software for the library. The program is
only marginally useful from an ODP standpoint. The primary
problem is the lack of support for the software from the supplier
agency. Management Staff will continue to monitor the program
and reacquaint ADP Control Officers with this resource when the
STAT
new
catalog of holdings is available in February.

An IBM 6670 Laser Printer was installed in the Credit Union
Computer Facility on 4 January. Due to a file spooling problem,
the 6670 was not available to the user until 7 January.
Document Logging System (DLS) testing using selected output
from Production Division and Customer Services Staff is scheduled
for 12 January. The DLS Wand Reader is expected to arrive from
the manufacturer this week. SPD plans to test the devices prior
to OD testing.
As of 6 January, the Word Processing Branch moved from
GG2202 Headquarters to 2D0117 Headquarters. The phone extensions
remain the same-
On 4 January, the Contract Review Board approved the
purchase of TEMPEST enclosures for the Data Royal printer. First
deliveries are expected in February.
Two Xerox 2700 laser printers are currently undergoing
reliability and TEMPEST testing. If all tests are successful,
the 2700 will be a candidate for remote high quality printing.
On 5 January, the second of two software changes were made
to the VMI/VM2 operating systems in preparation for shared
spool. These changes are not apparent to users. On 6 and
7 January John Rooney from IBM Research at Yorktown visited SPD
and assisted us in bringing up a pair of VM test virtuals which
use the final version of the shared spool code. Testing and
checkout on these second level systems continues.
All operating system activities for SAFE Early Capability
are on schedule. MVS and VM will be ready for applications
testing beginning 17 January.
Correction: Production Division moved to room GH51, not
GA51, as reported earlier.
