Problem to be Addressed: The Agency-at-large is becoming
visually literate. As a result, rapidly growing demands for
-computer graphics support has outstripped current Printing
and Photography Group (P&PG) resources and has jeopardized
the Group's ability to meet these requirements in a timely
fashion. The growth rate is such that by 1994 a 24-hour
design operation, as opposed to P&PG's current 12-hour
operation, will be required.
Proposal: To meet the increased demands for computer
graphics, both P&PG's equipment and Table of Organization
must be enhanced.
Justification for Proposal: To provide P&PG with the
resources necessary to stay abreast of growing Agency
requirements.
Description of Funding Requirements: The estimated
$1,291,000.00 required for this initiative is broken down:
1992 - $296,000 to physically merge the Computer Output
Microfilm (COM) Section computer graphic recording equipment
with the computer design stations currently located in the
Design and Presentation Center (D&PC) and $270,000 to cover
additional computer design equipment; and, 1993 - $300,000
for a third graphic recorder; and, 1994 - $300,000 for
additional design stations and 1 GS-09 position; and,
1995/1996 - $125,000 to support an additional GS-09
position. The 4 positions indicated are GS-09 computer
graphics technicians whose function will be to generate the
finished artwork designed by the senior artists. (Currently
our senior art designers are both designing and producing
the finished artwork.) Of the 4 positions, 2 are new and 2
will be provided by a readjustment of Photography Branch
resources. These additional positions represent a 45%

increase in staffing over the current level. Coordination:
Not required.
Space Impact: No impact on the total space assigned to
these two production areas is anticipated. Rather, this
initiative is intended to maximize the use of that space.
