MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, OCR
SUBJECT: Availability of DDC Tapes
1. The Defense Documentation Center is attempting to learn more about
the desirability and the feasibility of providing duplicate copies of its tapes to
regular users of DDC o These tapes include the entire bibliographic text that
appears in the Technical Abstract Bulletin (TAB). DDC is especially anxious
to get opinions from its users and, ideally, to have decentralized testing of he
tapes with live request traffic. The DDC offer to make tapes available has been
mentioned at COSATI (see minutes of January 1966) and also more widely
announced through the DEC News Letter for January 19660
2. There w1t2 be a meeting to discuss this matter 19 May in the Defense
Supply Agency auditorium at Cameron Station, Alexandria. CIA has been
informally invited to attend. Presence at the meeting is in no sense a com-
mitment to participate further in this experiment.
3. Components of CIA that are interested in attending this meeting or in
being represented at the meeting should contact the undersigned on extension
4. A copy of this memorandum is being sent to each regular recipient of
my notes on COSATI meetings.
