variety of interest and levels of experience in the use of the
Wang PCs. As a follow-up to the briefing, the forming of an
OC Wang PC Users Group was discussed and will be explored.

10. On 12 January, the second running of Project SCREEN
testing was held at the Ramada Inn with nine TCO applicants
taking the profile testing.
11. OC-AMD/RES personnel telephoned more than 600
individuals who had received Personal History Statement (PHS)
packets from OC in response to reviews of their resumes or from
recruitment presentations to request they return the completed
PHS packets as soon as possible. An interesting note evolved
from this endeavor. Of 102 applicants who stated they no longer
had an interest in employment with the Agency, 36 indicated their
lack of interest was due to the increase in terrorism throughout
the world. Although several other reasons, such as continuing
education or additional job opportunities, were also cited, the
requirement to serve overseas and the associated risk from
terrorism was the major reason given for cancelling many
employment applications.
12. All biographic profiles produced by OP for OC have now
been placed in the soft files.
13. Agency records retention schedules have been modified
to allow us to keep soft files on retirees for up to 18 months.

This will be particularly useful when annuitants are processed
for independent contracts. Because soft files cannot be stored
at the Records Center, it will be necessary to send all original
material to OP for inclusion in an employee's Official Personnel
File and destroy the remainder. Retention beyond 18 months would
be difficult even if the schedules allowed more flexibility. The
new motorized OC filing system requires careful monitoring for
balance. Before the recent purge of retiree files, the machinery
was beginning to experience considerable stress due to load
imbalance. Reduction of the files on retirees and resignees
has corrected the problem.

Switch (IOCp). The listings will be compiled into a tasking
memorandum to the appropriate OC and OIT offices for approval.
A total of 60 circuits and 30 circuits at OIT have been
identified as most representative of the circuitry handled by the
message switches.
c. CONTEL presented an updated draft of the results of
a network simulation model to determine potential problems in the
MERCURY architecture. The results show that projected volumes
can be handled for the four-node CONUS network which will be
fielded from 1986 through 1988. Additional refinements of the
model data will occur and expansion to simulate remote deployment
of MERCURY systems is planned.
