Approved For Release 2006/11/01: CIA-RDP90-00992R000100100034-3 *WlFOR OFFICIAL USE ONL. CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20505 Deputy Director for Telecommunications and Computer Services National Security Agency Ft. George G. Meade, Maryland 20755 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 record keeping 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 possiblity for the placement of the remaining four B6900 systems with the Drug Enforcement Agency.
