MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Administration
Director of Information Services
SUBJECT OIS Weekly Report (11-18 April 1984)
A. PROGRESS ON ACTION ITEMS
1. Representatives from the Classification Review Division and the
Directorate of Operations (DO/IM~ are inspecting the 198 feet of
OSS records accessioned to the National Archives and Records Service
(NARS). (For background information, please refer to OIS Weekly dated
28 March, Item A. 2.) They are checking for odd items that might have
been overlooked, to see that material was properly tabbed, and to provide
suggestions and guidance to NARS personnel in final preparation of the
OSS records for declassification and release.
2. The saga of establishing the Information Services Center (ISC) at
Ames Building continues. On 12 April, the ISC referent from the Records
Management Division (RMD) met with the consulting architect and his
engineer to discuss air conditioning requirements. After assessing the
existing installation, the engineer said that a total upgrade of the
building's supplemental air conditioning system would be required in
order to pump chilled water from the eighth floor to the upper
floors--particularly the 12th floor. The renovation would be very costly
and could not be begin for almost a year. (COMMENT: This was
disappointing, but it does not dissuade OIS from attempting to establish
the ISC, albeit under certain constraints.)
B. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AND ITEMS OF INTEREST
1. D/OIS, DD/OIS, Chief, RMD, and members of OIS' Planning Staff met
with Chief, Management Information Systems Group (ODP/MISG) and his
representatives fora briefing on ODP's new approach to supporting
component requirements for ADP and word processing systems. The concept
involves assigning programmers who will be responsive to the particular
needs of an office rather than trying to satisfy requirements within
OD P. Under the arrangement, the office provides the slotting and ODP
provides the manpower on rotational assignment in excess of two years.

3. A representative of RMD, who is a member of the local chapter of
the Business Forms Management Association, visited the Moore Business
Forms' Printing Plant in Thurmont, Maryland. One of the most interesting
aspects of the tour was the method used to manufacture certain specialty
forms such as self-mailing envelopes, spot carbon forms, and credit
cards. These forms cannot be printed at the Agency. Incidentally, most
methods used for regular printing at the Moore Plant were not as advanced
as those used by Printing and Photography Division.
4. Two representatives from RMD attended the Association for
Information and Image Management Conference (formerly the National
Micrographics Association) in Chicago 9-12 April. The conference
emphasized the use of advanced technology in the micrographics industry,
with some 30-40 percent of the vendors displaying products incorporating
microprocessor chips. Numerous computer-assisted retrieval devices were
exhibited with optical disk systems receiving the most attention.
Several companies displayed working prototypes, but Phillips of Holland
demonstrated a system that scanned documents from the crowd and printed
duplicate copies on its laser printer. The A. B. Dick Company displayed
a modified version of its System 200 updatable camera. There is use for
this modified camera system in OF. This will be brought to their
attention.
