MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Data Processing
James H a McDonald
Director of Loc'istics
SUBJECT : Project CAMS
REFERENCE: Memo dtd 31 March 1c 79 to n/L fry C/R V7P/OL,
same subject (OL A 1297)
1. This memorandum is to request planning information
relative to Project CAMS as well as related impart on availa-
ble utility resources in the (Headquarters Building. The
attached referent identifies several requirements and dis-
cusses informal planning information being looker! at by our
respective facilities personnel.
2. It would be most useful if it could be ,I-cided
whether we can realistically put CAMS outside of the
Headquarters Building. and. if so, what the overall require-
ments would be. If there is a possibility that the G C47
interim CAMS might ultimately become final C.01S with a
corresponding impact on the utility situation in that area,
then we must ascertain the impact of that action viewed
from a total and comprehensive analysis of all c'xstomer
demands on the utilities available in the south half of
the building.
3. Please communicate your views on the shave to me.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Logistics

Division, OL
SUBJECT : Project CAMS
1. on 2 August 1977, the Director of Data Processing
(D/ODP) gave the initial briefing for OL on the requirements
of Project CAMS. Briefly stated there was to be:
a. An inplace upgrade of CAMS in CC47
(Interim CAMS) by March 1978
b. A separate 6,500 sq. ft. facility
with full UPS power (not essential to be in
Headquarters) (Final CAMS) by November 1079.
2. Subsequently on 23 August 1977, the D/O P wrote to
the D/L regarding an overall sunsry of space and utility
requirements which include CAMS. A response to the D/OD was
sent on 12 October 1977, which described the limitations on
electrical power, space availability, and our ability to respond
to CAMS' requirements. On 25 October 1977, representatives of
OL met with 0DP personnel. Discussed during this meeting were
the continuing efforts directed towards the acquisition of suf-
ficient external leased space to permit the relocation of personnel
from Headquarters and subsequent allocation of the space thus
vacated to support CAMS and the GCO3I13116 expansion. In light

4. No definitive word has yet been received from ODP
since a meeting at on 9 November regarding
final CAMS. This leaves n a dilemma as to which course
of action to pursue. Compounding this still further, workinz
conversations with Facilities Branch, ODP, personnel on
6 March 1978 indicate a substantial amount of existing equip-
ment shifting between CCO3 and GC47, which coupled with new
central processing units scheduled for GC47, have created a
power situation that we cannot support using available power
sources. In addition, other components are making demands for
the limited utilities resources available on the south side
of the building.
5. As part of interim CAMS, limited amounts of 400 Rz
power could he supplied by September 1978 using the Teledyne
converters presently located in B Vault; however, this Office
could not have a full 400 Hz UPS system installed to serve
the computer equipment loads now projected for installation in
GC47 by March 1979. In addition, should equipment be installed
per the 6 March 1978 meeting between HER and OPP, t!Ne 61 7)z
distribution system serving GC47 would also be inadequate by
August 1978.
6, In order that RECD may adequately plan to meet OTM
utilities requirements, it is necessary that future needs
be formally identified so that the survey and design process
may commence. From this a time table showiaa * the necessary
utilities modifications can he derived with estimated costs
projected. This response should include requirements for both
CA1S and the Ruffing Center Expansion.
