SUBJECT: Support for the Analysts' File Environment (SAFE)
REFERENCE: My Memorandum, DCI/ICS 4061-87, Dtd 15 May 1987, to You,
Subject as Above
1. As you know, I requested a meeting to discuss SAFE development status
and related programmatic and fiscal issues in the referenced memorandum.
Although, regretfully, I had to postpone several meeting dates, I remain
concerned about the unresolved SAFE issues related to budgetary shortfalls,
transition planning and resource constraints addressed in the attached
correspondence from DIA.
2. There is an immediate need for SAFE principals to confer on these
critical issues and, if possible, chart a course for the future. Therefore, I
have rescheduled the 17-June 1987 from 0930-1030
start with a brief presentation by CSPO on SAFE program status that includes
topics specifically noted in the DIA letter, plus any other topics that CSPO
believes germane to the future course of SAFE.
Request, as before, that the meeting

MEMORANDUM FOR THE DIRECTOR OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY ST
SUBJECT: Support for the Analyst's File Environment Program
1. The DCI Program Guidance states that "joint Agency development activities
for the Support for the Analyst's File Environment (SAFE) Program are expected
to continue until SAFE Delivery 4, Set 1, has been fully implemented at DIA."
A report is required by 15 August that describes the planning and actions
required for in-house management of SAFE follow-on activities. For this to be
accomplished, each agency must fully support and understand their commitment
through Delivery 4, Set 1.
2. There are fiscal and other support implications that each agency must
clearly understand. The first increment of Delivery 3, a SAFE delivery common
to both agencies, has experienced a 6-month slip in FY87 with a significant
cost impact on both DIA and CIA. This has extended the implementation of the
remaining portions of the Delivery 3 through the entire FY88. Delivery 4
development work, currently scheduled for completion at the end of FY88, will
more than likely continue into FY89. There are also both fiscal and
procedural implications/issues of the Consolidated SAFE Project Office draw-
down as the project nears completion, that impact both agencies. This
includes the identification of core SAFE software components and a decision on
the joint maintenance/enhancement of those common components.
3. It is imperative that principal senior representatives from DIA, CIA and
the DCI Staff convene at the earliest possible date for discussion of these
issues critical to us all. It is recommended that the DCI Staff Director
convene this session and that it be opened with a presentation by the CSPO CIA
and DIA project managers, providing information on: schedules, reasons for
recent slippages and their resultant cost impact on FY87 and outyears; SAFE
program/budget overview by agency; status and impact of efforts to transfer
SAFE technology to other customers; and Director CSPO recommendations for SAFE
project management in the post D-4 timeframe, to include consideration of
maintenance of common DIA/CIA software components, follow-on development
activities for requirements common to both agencies, vendor resource
availability, and agency personnel resource constraints.

4. The next 24 months will be an extremely critical period of time for both
DIA and CIA as CSPO completes development and delivers into operation
Deliveries 3 and 4. Senior management attention must be focused on the
successful completion of these joint activities, while at the same time
insuring a well planned and orderly transition to the post D-4 environment.
