MEMO UM FOR: Addressee Distribution
SUBJECT: Computer Listings of Agency Research
and Development Projects
1. Some time ago, an attempt was made to list research
and development projects of the Agency in. a manner suitable
for processing and analysis using computer techniques. This
was found not to be practical in January 1964; however,
recent additions to the S equipments and an increase in
the potential users for such listings now makes this feasi-
ble and desirable.
2. Plans and Programs Staff, DD/8&T, has prepared a
suggested fgrmat, explanatory notes, and categories of
descriptions for the projects which were discussed and listed
in RDRB meetings in the fall of 1963. Each office to be
concerned with this project is furnished a copy of this
material for review and suggested additions or deletions.
3. The need for compartmentat ion of information from
each office is recognized and will be provided as a matter
of routine practice. By keying your project listings pro-
perly and through instructions to OCS, no single participant
will have access to information other than that which he
contributes unless authorization from an original contributor
is obtained.

Computer Listings of Agency Research
and Development Projects
4. The attached format for inputs has been designed
by following as closely as possible the present formats
of TSD and OR --the two activities having 80-90 per cent
of the R&D projects in the Agency. However, some addi-
tions which would make the format more useful to other
offices can be accommodated. In return for the work of
conforming to this request and future listings, each
office will be able to retrieve easily a complete computer
print-out of their R&D program at any particular time.
It is requested that your comments be furnished directly
to Plans and Programs Staff, BD/S&T, by 1 September.
