3. The spread sheet which had prepared on the problems and 50X1
DDI recommendations on the various publications mentioned in Proctor's
memorandum was handed out and discussed. Some baCkground on the long
standing problems of the NIS was given. Proctor stated that he was mare
concerned in getting rid of large backlogs when they accumulated in order
to reduce throughput time than seeking to provide additional personnel to
reduce throughput time. After a considerable amount of discussion on this,
and particularly with respect to the use of overtime to reduce backlogs,
Proctor stated that he would attempt to have enough funds to allow 2,000
hours of overtime to be worked. This money would be made available for
reimbursement to PSD following the regular method for having; these funds
transferred.

PBXS problem was a suitable increase in the personnel assigned to this work.
Proctor and the FM officials are willing to have the White Book produced
by the dew shift tailoring the production of the other material by the
night shift. While this could be done it would still require the additional
personnel mentioned. There was sane discussion of the MD work which PBXS
is preparing to eliminate by inclusion of same of this material in the MS
daiky prublications.
6. It was decided that PBXS would develop a statement as to the increases
they want and this would be furnished to POD for a determination as to what
will be required to do this work. PBXS is to work up serveral alternate plans
and the =mu* of FDD volt to be elimirtated is to be shown so that PEW will
know how much workload will be converted fron day shift to the MIS daily
publications.
