COMMUNICATIONS REQUIREMENTS FY 1977-81
1. All services which are now received within the Office of logistics
are adequate and should be continued at the same level except in the follow-
ing instances:
a. Procurement Division - A black phone instrument located in the25X1A
T
Fail and Files Control Unit can be eliminated prior to FY 1977 jI
phone is located in Room 1033, Ames Center Building, extension
When the requirement ceases to exist, an appropriate telephone request
will be submitted.
b. Printing Services Division PSD) - A minimal secure voice com-
munication line between main PSD and Headquarters wilding will be
required in FY 1977. Accordingly, we will need one master unit and
telephone line. A call director and six "slave" instruments will not
be necessary,
2. It is expected that within the next 2 years (FY 1976 and 1977) PSD
will have need for a network of data links from all Agency publishers to
PSD/General Printing Plant (GPP) for access to the upcoming computer-assisted
text editing photographic composition system. The following are considered
vital requirements for FY 1977:
a. Data link from major publishers in Headquarters Buildin , in-
cluding Office of Current Intelligence, Office of the Director (O/DCI),
National Intelligence Officers (NIO), Office of Economic Research, etc.,
to PSD/GPP composing system to provide faster, more efficient production
of intelligence reports.
b. Data link from PSD/GPP to PS0 main plant, either through the
Office of Joint Computer Support (OJCS) or direct, to provide backup
support to GPP composing system and to provide parallel processing
capabilities during peak workload periods.
c. Data links from OJCS to PSD main printing plant for use:
(1) With proposed PSD management information system,
(2) In expediting production of computer output microfilm, and
(3) In providing faster and more efficient photocomposition of
Agency publications.
3. Although detailed feasibility studies are not available at this time,
the following items are considered potential requirements in the future (FY

Communications Requirements for FY 1977-81
a. Data link from high priority customers (Publications Staff,
Deputy Director for Intelligence; 0/DC1. NID, etc.) to PSD for facsimile
transmission and laser platemaking to accommodate high-speed printing
of intelligence reports.
b. Data link from CIA Operations Center to PSO for facsimile
transmission of continuous tone negatives for instant reproduction
and dissemination to top CIA officials.
c. Date link from OJCS to PSD/GPP which will be necessary in
upanding capabilities of the computer-assisted text editing photo-
graphic composition system.
4. While the final Implementation of the above requirements will
mire additional studies and are, to a large degree, dependent upon the
plans of PSD customers; it is felt that establishment of data links as
envisaged are essential in fulfilling existing and future Agency needs to
provide greater efficiency in printing operations of the future.
