computerized
By May 1966 the files developed for FMSAC by OCS
had approached a state of considerable versatility and usefulness
and the quantity and quality of the data base was helpful in
accomplishing analytical work. These files are the primary
source of authoritative data in most dategories of events,
especial*yo of prior years where manual files have been retired.
AID/FMSAC worried at this time that increase in volume of this
work will strain the capacity of OCS since at that time of
17 requests currently placed on OCS only five had been filled,
while an additional 8 requests were submitted on 10 May
Request made of OCS as to ways to ease the impact of FMSAC's
workload on OCS.

Proposed Agency Program and Goals Structure
Under Research and Development activities, PPB arbitrarily
cut down numbers of sub-categories and settled on
sub-categories within the R&D area which had no
relevance to DD/S&T established sub-categories.
In some cases relegated significant programs into
subelement categories which were inconsistent with the
importance of the programs.
DD/S&T notified ExDir 15 March 1966 that he intended
to continue to develop and operate within the strucHEeture
recommended for DD/S&T, although if necessary would
re-assemble categories as required by D/PPB.

9 March 1966, Ch/Activ. Interp Div, recommended
that ballistic missile and -type space articles did not need
to be included in any non-FMSAC publications with the exception of
the Current Intel Bulletin.
He said that since timeliness was of the essence in missile
and space field, that all missile and space articles should be
published in the N daily Missile and Space Summary (MASS).
