Introducing Our New Chief
Is he really new

of Chief, yes, but certainly not to the
Division. He entered on duty with this
Division on 26 December 1961�
thanks to an excellent decision by
who hired him.
Except for the last two years, all of
his time since then has been spent
right here in P & PD. His official biog-
raphy reads as follows:
1960; EOD CIA 15 November 1960.
Headquarters assignments in DA in-
clude Deputy Chief, Deputy
Chief, P & PD; Production Manager,
P & PD; Branch Chief, Prepress and
Press branches, P & PD; and Chief,
Special Printing Plant, PSD. External
trainiog: graduate and undergradu-
ate studies in printing/business man-
agement, American University; Roch-
ester Institute of Technology; and
Northern Virginia Community Col-
lege, 1963-1973. Others: ESC Pro-
gram for Managers, Kings Point,
N.Y., 1982; Metropolitan Washington
School of Printing, 1962-1965.

Some people would classify him as "a

Better Late Than Never(b)(6)
By
January 15 was a historic day in
P & PD. Historic in that the long-await-
ed automatic tab laminating and die-
cutting machine (Scott Ten Thou-
sand) arrived�two and a half years
after the Office of Procurement wrote
the purchase order. And, just as his-
toric as its arrival, two days after its
installation the backlog of tab produc-
tion in Bindery was eliminated. Follow-
ing is an account of just how bad the
backlog had become (at times it
seemed like the tentacles mentioned in
Jules Verne's book) .
Until 1978 the few routine (yet time-
consuming) requests for tabs were
processed in either the P & PD Press
Branch letterpress department or by
hand on the SEYBOLD in the Bindery.
In 1978 a search by management in
both Branches culminated in the pur-
chase of two hand-operated devices
(one for laminating and the other for
die-cutting tabs) that would end, once
and for all, the nuisance of producing
tabs. It was thought that the use of
tabs in Agency reports had reached a
plateau and that the two devices
recommended for purchase would eas-
ily handle any future demand for tabs.(b)(3)
As it turned out, the demand had not
leveled off. By 1982 the volume of tabs(b)(6)
(b)(6)
(b)(3)
(b)(3)
processed had risen from a monthly
average of about to more than
triggering another search for a
device that would combine laminating
and die-cutting into one simple-to-use,
fast machine. Not until 1985 was the
auto tabber by Scott identified and
funds allocated. By then, monthly tab
roduction had risen to an average of
severely strangling production (b)(3)
and causing late deliveries.
During the two and a half years
P & PD waited for the delivery of the
auto tabber, late jobs became more
numerous as demand increased. In
some cases, tabs would appear at the
rate of every other page in a report
that might have as many as tabs. (b)(3)

Press at times sent skids of material to
Bindery, and in an effort to maintain
some semblance of control on delivery
schedules, the services of a commer-
cial firm were utilized for the produc-
tion of tabs.
Tab production had indeed become
so destructive of delivery schedules
that the importance of its solution was
being ranked alongside some of the
great religious and moral issues of our
time. In fact, excommunication from
the human race (since murder was out
of the question) was being considered
as a suitable sentence for the vendor
when it was learned that the delivery
of the new tab cutter was delayed
another six months.
Well ... all that is behind us now.
The backlog is gone. Once again there
is breathing room in the production
schedules. The use of tabs in Agency
reports seems to have reached a pla-
teau no where near the capacity of the
new machine. . . .

With two wins under their belt against
three defeats the Cougar basketball
team seemed to be
riding a roller coast-
er. Since that point
they have posted
a four-game win
streak and are
showing the consis-
tency needed to
compete with the stronger teams.
Needless to say the team is still getting

GraphExpo 87 (b)(3)

At last, our destination: the
Rodeway Inn, downtown Chicago,
where we soon noticed that a cock-
roach convention was in progress. Af-
ter a couple of hours of milling around,
we departed the hotel, now better
known as the ROACHWAY Inn (daily
rate available) , for a suburban Shera-
ton, where we gratefully laid our heads
upon our pillows well after midnight.
We spent the next two days at
Chicago's McCormick Place exposi-
tion hall roaming about two floors the
size of football fields looking at print-
ing exhibits including phototypeset-
ting, photography, and bindery equip-
ment, and even huge presses in
operation, to name just a few.
After two days of walking the show,
and two evenings sampling Chicago
life at Ditka's nightclub and a hockey
game, we joined up early Thursday for
the long trip home. We're pictured
above with our friend the bus.

Oh boy! A chance to ride 15 hours
on a bus to Chicago past scenery I
had already eyeballed at least 20
times�a chance to see if the Pennsyl-
vania Turnpike was still twisting, if
Ohio and Indiana cornfields were still
flat. But last November I jumped at the
opportunity to visit GraphExpo 87, a
huge graphic arts exposition, and to
get to know better some of my fellow
workers.
So 26 of us from P & PD, and two
good-natured, extremely accommo-
dating Agency drivers, loaded up early
Monday for the long, bun-numbing
ride. I laughed when we reached Indi-
ana and people realized that four
hours of Indiana was looking EXACT-
LY like five hours of Ohio just did.
My parents, who live in Indiana, met
me at our dinner stop in Elkhart, where
they were nearly successful at not
gawking at all those CIA people.

Members of BRC, Bindery, and Dis-(b)(6)
semination have gathered together
again as a quality circle team. We
have brainstormed for projects that
will benefit the employee and our
branch as a whole. "A happy worker
is a productive worker."
Projects under consideration are light-
ing, safety shoes, and replacing the cur-
rent flooring in the Bindery and Dissemi-
nation area. We have already solved a
simple problem by having the team bring
over a large cage that was needed for
BRC's enormous jobs. As a team, we
strive for quality as well as quantity.

Composition employees. (b)(3)

tems Expo on 9 March to observe a

this piece of equipment but walked
away filled with a sense of excitement
about the wonderful world of PC's: so
much to look at with so many different
options to choose from. With technol-
ogy changing and desk top publishing
penetrating the industry, we left feeling
confident that typesetting is still the
quality way to go.

Broadway Can Breathe Easy!!
Hear that beat and those dancing
feet�I don't think the young hopefuls
or old troupers of 42nd Street, Broad-
way, and Radio City Music Hall need
to lose any sleep over the latent tal-
ents of P & PD's dancing fruit.
"A Star is Born" is pushing it just a
bit, but P & PD did give birth to a new
group of performing crazies. The
"Sneaky Feet" have emerged as the
newest group of extroverts to add a
few giggles to the annual division
Christmas party. The participants ran
the gamut from "ye old journeyman"
to more dignified supervisors, and
even included a branch chief.
"Sneaky Feet" decided to go with
the California Raisin theme since the
media seemed to have been success-
ful with their productions. With a lot of
artistic help from
(b)(6)
bubble wrap from the
(some of our wrinkled brethren
(b)(1)
(b)(3)
By
needed fewer bubbles than others) ,
the P & PD Raisins were able to make
complete fools of themselves and
have fun doing it. However, I think if
the real California Raisins had been at
the P & PD Christmas party they
would have voted to stay prunes!!
Aw, what the heck!�it was fun for all
of the participants, and it appeared
that you, the audience, enjoyed it too.
Hmmmm, how do we top this next
year?
And then there are the "old timers"
of the P & PD performing dandies�
the "Not Ready For Prime Time"
players. These folks are thespians in
the true tradition of Broadway, off-
Broadway, and waaay-off-Broadway.
For the last three years the imagina-
tive, fun-loving arteeests of D & PC
have entertained us with lively spoofs
on P & PD life. Who else would be
capable of designing their own sets,
(b)(3)
(b)(6)
wonderful costumes, and unusual
scripts? This is true talent just itching
to be free! I think all of us noticed that
the 1987 spoof included a new role.
Who was that man in the leopard
teddy? Fred Flintstone or Barney Rub-
ble? Heavens no!�it was our own
who, under the expert(b)(3)
tutelage of the more seasoned stars of(b)(6)
the troupe, convinced a lot of us that
he could actually light a fire with two
sticks. Complete with a vamp or two, a
couple of innocents, and a dancer
recently released from Saint E's (who
also gives new meaning to a fuzzy
navel) , all of us at the party were
treated to outrageous entertainment.
Everyone who has ever been "jabb-
ed" by these wonderful people would
agree that it was all just good, clean
fun. Unfortunately, the "Not Ready for(b)(3)
Prime Time Players" have elected to(b)(6)
retire from the business. Thanks for
the memories folks�you're fur(b)(1)
