17 JUN 1983
Thank you for your payment of $37',000, for the Burroughs
B6900 computer system that is being acquired from CIA by NSA's
Research and Engineering Organization. The system is being
provided to NSA per your letter to Mr. Bruce Johnson, former CIA
Director of Data Processing, dated 17 November 1982, Serial
N-1337-82. I've enclosed a detailed inventory of this B6900
computer system, including the component acquisition costs, for
property accountability purposes.
As you are probably aware, the B6900 system is being
commercially stored by CIA awaiting the completion of site
preparation at NSA. It is my understanding that NSA has agreed
to assume the storage responsibility and all associated costs for
this system, effective 1 October 1983. For recordkeeping
purposes, we would appreciate formal acknowledgement of your
acceptance of property accountability as of the 1 October date.
The other system being acquired by NSA, a Dual B7800, is
awaiting disassembly at the TRW Safe Development Facility,
Torrance, California. A detailed inventory of this system is
enclosed. As this letter was being prepared, the schedule for
moving the equipment to NSA sites was being finalized. The Dual
B7800 system is being provided at no cost to NSA, except for
disassembly, packing, shipping, and installation charges. It is
my understanding that NSA has made arrangements directly with the
vendor for these activities. When the Dual B7800 system is
transferred to NSA control, we would, in this case too,
appreciate a formal acknowledgement indicating your acceptance of
property accountability.
It was in August of last year that I first requested your
help in placing the Burroughs equipment, available due to the
SAFE Project redirection. I am pleased to report to you that, to
date, we have been able to reassign six B6900 systems and the one
Dual B7800 system. Also, there is now a strong possibility for
the placement of the remaining four B6900 systems with the Drug
Enforcement Agency.

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank
you and others at NSA for supporting our placement efforts. A
for their diligent efforts in insuring that
the availability of these systems was widely publicized during
the last ten months. Your collective efforts are much
appreciated.
