MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy for Field Activities, OSA
SUBJECT: Justification for Requested Personnel
Spaces (Automation Division, OSA)
1. This memorandum i
of 20 January 1966.
2159-66
Copy 4
in response to your verbal request
2. An increase of fi a (5) Digital Computer Systems Pro-
grammers over the current uthorization has been re uested.
Two of the five requested paces are to cover
and who have been on board since September and
November 1965 respectively. As a matter of information, Miss
is working across our projects on the development of
map and plotter programs. a physicist, has been
assigned to developing and programming the fuels area, primarily
for OXCART.
3. The remaining three (3) required programmer slots are
broken out as follows:
A. Digital Computer Systems Programmer. Pri-
mary assignment in the IDEALIST program for further
and continuing work on the vulnerability program.
This programmer will require a mathematics back-
ground with emphasis on statistical theory and prob-
abilities. His secondary work would be in the same
basic field for OXCART, ISINGLASS and OSP.
B. Digital Computer Systems Programmer. Pri-
mary assignment in the OXCART program with emphasis
on display analysis and programming. This encom-
passes a knowledge of meteorological programming to
bland into Command and Control Systems Programming.
This individual would also contribute to the IDEAL-
IST vulnerability program.

C. Digital Computer Systems Programmer.
This programmer is a systems programmer. His
responsibility lies in the area of developing
best equipment utilization. Edit routines,
shortcuts, most efficient hardware use for all
projects as well as utility programming.
3. An increase of current authorization of one (1) Peri-
pheral Computer Equipment Operator has been requested. Our
current workload on the IBM 7090, IBM 360 Model 30, UNIVAC 1004
and the EAT 3440 plotter make the current authorization of three
totally inadequate. The absence of one operator puts this Divi
sion behind in its ability to make daily workload requirements.
The necessity to provide TDY personnel in support of OXCART fur-
ther aggravates this already weak strength position.
4. The increase requested in paragraphs 2 and 3 above, are
minimum current requirements and should be treated as such.
