MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Science and Technology
THROUGH:
FROM:
Deputy Director for Administration
Director of Data Processing
b. The procurement by ORD of specialized network
testing equipment to be used to increase the
efficacy of the testing process. This equipment
permits rigorous testing of RECON GUARD prior to
connection to the COINS network. This testing phase
represents an unfunded requirement of up to $250K.
c. Following the successful completion of special
network testing, CIA will temporarily install COINS
Host Access System (HAS) equipment, supplied by the
COINS Project Management Office (PMO), in the
Ruffing Center. The HAS equipment will be connected
to the RECON GUARD equipment and the COINS network.
d. On a limited basis, and for testing purposes only,
data from the CIA RECON data base will be
transmitted to the COINS network through the RECON
GUARD and COINS HAS equipment.

SUBJECT: RECON GUARD Program Network Interface Selection
REFERENCE: Memorandum for Director of Data Processing, from
R. E. Hineman, Deputy Director for Science and
Technology, undated, Same Subject, DDS&T-201-83
1. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide you with
the assurance that action has been taken to expedite a decision
regarding the RECON GUARD Program Network Interface.
2. For the past several years, office of Data Processing
personnel have been working with members of your staff in support
of RECON GUARD. Our plans have and will continue to include
providing the necessary facilities and personnel required to
support the final project testing phases in our Ruffing Computer
Center. At this time, the CIA commitment to the RECON GUARD
project is limited to the following:
a. The installation and testing of RECON GUARD
equipment, connected to the RECON data base, in the
Ruffing Computer Center.

3. Following testing, the HAS and RECON GUARD equipment
will be removed from the Ruffing Center. The COINS HAS equipment
will be returned to the COINS PMO and the RECON GUARD and network
testing equipment to the office of Research and Development.
4. The delay in arriving at an agreement regarding the
selection of COINS equipment to serve as the RECON GUARD Program
Network Interface is a result of unacceptable provisions
contained in a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) submitted
by the COINS PMO. A revised MOU is being drafted by the CIA
COINS Representative, This revised MOU
eliminates the unacceptable elements o the original draft and
clearly states the purpose and temporary nature of the COINS HAS
equipment arrangement. In addition, it defines the
responsibilities of each party regarding the installation,
operation, maintenance, and removal of the equipment. When
mutually agreeable language has been found, the MOU will be
signed and planning for COINS HAS, equipment installation can then
be initiated.
5. Should you have any additional questions concerns on
this subject, please do not hesitate to call me on
