Director, Office of Information Technology
25X1 SUBJECT: Revised CAMS P/S Budget Plan and Release Options
1. The CAMS P/S Program Office recently presented COMIREX with a revised
CAMS P/S budget plan for fiscal years 1987, 1988, and 1989 reflecting net
shortfalls of $2,334K, $3,052K, and $1,197K respectively. We were informed
that the baseline program was unable to accommodate these funding reductions
without reducing scheduled deliverables. Included as part of the plan were
four options for scheduling future CAMS releases. It was agreed by all that
Options 2 and 3 were not acceptable, thus leaving us with basically two
25X1 choices.
25X1

2. Looking at these two options from a COMIREX perspective, Option 1 has
several significant shortcomings. They include the following:
o It reduces Release 13 to inrludp only
and reserved identifiers
tacking
It reduces TRW personnel to an unacceptable level beginning in
mid-1989, thus causing significant staffin roblems which does not
25X1 bode well for CAMS in the early 1990's.
3. Option 4, with one exception, is the one most favored by COMIREX. Its
principal features are the following:

o It provides a better phase-down in TRW staffing.
The one disadvantage to Option 4 is that it withdraws $100K and $200K from
COMIREX allocated funds for FY 1988 and FY 1989 respectively. These funds are
specifically included in the CIAP budget by Congressional direction for
exclusive COMIREX use and are not to be considered as part of the CAMS
25X1 development effort.
4. I believe we must protect the CIAP funds allocated to COMIREX. These
funds are critical to COMIREX planning activities relative to CAMS for the
25X1 90's development. OIT's proposed reductions represent
percent of nur tntal FY 1988 and FY 1989 funds respectvely, wnereas tney
25X1 represent percent of the CAMS development budget. I also
believe that we must continue Wfully support development and maintenance of
the current CAMS. Therefore4-q request_that_you direct the CAMS?PTSWWWE

we will discuss what must be eliminated with the Program Office.
