tion was no accident. It was rather a child of necessity.
Just another step IS the evoluttofl*ry process taking place
Se the days of World War II.
2. It is a truism that war accelerates scientific and
technological developasat - World Ur II was no exception.
When you stop and think of the scientific and t chnic*1 advances
made since World War II - - it's staggering! Prom the time
that the first atomic bomb was exploded in New Nexico, July
1945, the Intelligence Camunity has been faced with mounting
scientific and technical problem,, especially with the Sov ie t
Union. Is September 1949, the Soviets exploded their first
atomic device and proge*ded thereafter to become a nuclear
peer. In August 193?, the Soviet Union announced the firing
of an ICBM. Later that year, in October, the USSR placed the
first Sputnik into orbit. The United States followed with
its first satellite, Explorer I, on 31 January 1988. Gagarin
and Shepard performed their history-making space flights a
,few years later. and there we were - - in Buck Rogers' twenty-
fifth century about five hundred years ahead of schedule.

3. The pace Of scientific and technological revolution
has not slow d dolt but continues to accelerate. Thus, the
intelligence network has been pressured more and more to keep
abreast of the scientific and technological revolution espe-
cially in the USSR, and report quickly and as accurately an
possible.
4. We, in the Intelligence Community, have solved may
problems of this nuclear, missile, and space age by means of
technical collection and analysis. Naturally since the data
collected is technical, it requires technical translation and
interpretation. In the beginninng, the CIA collected it "s da-
ta on a compartmented basis, by resorting to various units
scattered throughout the agency; for example, the Office of
Communications, the Office of Scieatifte Intelligence, Nation-
al Photographic Intelligences Center (NPIC), the former Devel-
opment Projects Division (M) of DDP, Technical Services
:Division (TSD) , and others. But an the problem multiplied
and became more complex, it became obvious that there had to
be a coagulation of these parts.
5. The first step in this direction occurred late in.
1983 when the Directorate of Research was established. The
nissiou of DD/R was the development and Operation of intelli-
gence collection systems. DD/R consisted of the Office of

The Deputy Director, Dr. Wheelon, is responsible for

DD/S&T Organization And Functions
13. Another component in the DD/S&T is the Office of
Computer Services of which Mr. Joseph Backer is the Assistant
Director. Before this office came under the DD/S&T, it con-
sisted sissted of the CIA Automatic Data Processing Staff uuder the
DD/S, and Project CHIVE,, a substantial information
and retrieval effort under the DD/I. Those units were brought
together to form kprincipaal computer center for the Agency.
14. Computer activity in CIA is comparatively new. As
recently as three years ago, the first computer was brought
into the Agency to do payroll and accounting work. Bin
that time we have five major computer installations in the
Agency. They cover the waterfront as far as plicatiom s are
concerned and represent an outlay of
for rental.
15. With the rapid advances in computer technology and
the mushrooming of installations throughout the Agey, it is
quite natural that the Director recognized the need for a
principal center which would consolidate the Agency& assets
in this field and coordinate and guide the overall effort.
OCS will perform these functions, in addition to serving the
operating needs of it's customers.
