C. Computer Graphics: Installation of the 8,000-line
option on the Dicomed Recorder has been completed. All
tests of hardware/software functions have proved to be
successful. However, routine production requirements will
be generated using the 4,000-line mode of operation as the
time required to produce each image is doubled when using
the 8,000 line mode.

Systems Staff representatives briefed four DIA contractors
and Intelligence Community Staff, on our
Electronic text editing and composition system (ETECS)
architecture and also on the Intelligence Communit 'S
Congressional Budget production cycle. ae
of the contractors explained t irm,
has been tasked with
implementing a Wang Alliance system at DIA -Ice repleee e
in order to be compatible with
P&PD's system. We advised them that the optimum situation
would be for the DIA budget authors to do all writing,
rewriting, and editing on the Wang and forward a final
version on magnetic tape by early January 1986. The.L
pee a had not considered that option but seemed receptive
to the idea. P&PD will not receive any data from their Wang
system for this year's submission.

~c7 1. Factbook Meeting: P&PD representatives will meet
with representatives from Office of Current Production and
Analytical Support (O/CPAS) and Office of Central Reference
