SUBJECT: Proposal for Consolidation of Agency Graphics Facilities
REFERENCE: DDA 81-0640-2, dated 07 April 1981
1. The Office of Communications has reviewed the OC facilities listed in
the attachne ht to reference memorandum. The two OC facilities listed as candi-
dates for consolidation are discussed below.

a. The has two graphics
specialist in the Educational Support Department (ESD) who support
training needs. The other positions mentioned in reference are ESD
personnel who provide other types of support such as management of
a self-study program, course design and audio-visual productions.
Centralization of career management for graphics specialist would be
worthwhile in order to offer a broader career path for employees with
very specialized skills. OC would prefer, however, that the graphics
capability, regardless of career cognizance, be retained in
The graphics specialist work closely with instructors and the video
specialist on a daily basis to develop and produce course material.
True centralization in the Headquarters area would require frequent
trips by instructors to develop graphics for use in courses.
b. Thel in OC's Engineering
Division provides very little graphics support. The bulk of this
section's work is in the production of engineering drawings to support
technical system development and communication facility renovation.
As is typical for engineering components, it is important that the
draftsman and the engineer work closely together as plans are being
developed. Quick turnaround and responsiveness to.network priorities
are also essential. In essence, we believe that this section should
not have been included on the graphics list and should not be considered
for consolidation.
