Discussion centered principally around. how 'this draft policy
'.relates to hardware and software funded by outside organizations
(largel~- DD/S&T circumsta.nGe). Some ad.justme.nts in language made
a.n other aspects of this paper (Dxaft ~~$). '

Policy re Remote Ter.mi.nals
Chairrna.n asked. :for comrne.nts o.n this initial draft (4/7/70)
covering policy and guidance re remote terminals:
Qeclas~ Review by'~NG~' ' ;
Re restriction on time-sharing (para.. 1 f),
feels all centers should. be allowed. to proceed into tirrie-sharing
and. not. just OCS. NPIC has to have time-sharing (note: para. I f.
relates only to Hqs. Bldg.) and CR5, if it runs QUIKTRAK, needs
time-sharing. Even without QUIKTRAK, CRS may .need it far its
RID does .not need the
inter-center switching provided. far in para. 1 d. Remote-
terminals hooked to RID are exclusively for.RlD's use,
' .not the Area Divisions, and the onl corn uters they need
to query are the RID computers, asked if RID
programmers might .not want to access from DD/P remotes the
OCS computers far program compile and test services..

e.nied time-sharing o.n its own corn.puters... but he pointed '
out the definitiori~what is rnea.nt.by "time-sharin,~" is .not

stations versus individual remote terminals. In the long

remote services will become cost effective. Must be

- Chairman: This draft is admittedly very preliminary.
Perhaps need newspaper which (a) states the problem,! (b)
outlines guidance,' and (c) assigns approval responsibility to
the Directorates. ?

Technical Facilities CammitteC should not be an approva?1
