MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, O/DD/I Management Staff
SUBJECT . Request for Lease of IBM Magnetic Card
Selectric Typewriters
1. It is requested that one IBM Executive Magnetic Card Selectric
Typewriter be leased for use in ICRS, Room 1G38, Headquarters Building,
and one IBM Magnetic Card Selectric Typewriter II be leased for joint use
of DDI/SSG and ADP COMIREX, Room GE0442.
2. ' ICRS is involved frequently in the drafting and coordination
of studies and reports which are referred to COMIREX for approval or
which are to be distributed throughout the Intelligence Community for
information. These studies are often. long and require extensive drafting
and redrafting. The typing of tables and charts to accompany such studies
is particularly time-consuming. Availability of a Magnetic Card Typewriter
in ICRS would make it possible for the ICRS secretarial staff to prepare
studies and reports.on magnetic cards compatible with equipment in the
Office of the Chairman', thus saving complete retyping in the latter office.
In addition ICRS would be able to absorb some of the COMIREX overflow
typing workload. I F of the ICRS staff is already familiar
with the MCST executive typewriter so little productive time would be
lost in making the transition.
3. The secretaries assigned to the jointly located SSG-ADP/
COMIREX office are required to type numerous documents which receive
wide circulation within CIA and the Intelligence Community. A new
secretary has been assigned to the CX/ADP element and the requested
Selectric II will enable her to share the workload with the present
secretaries and equipment assigned. in SSG.
