Significant Activities
Second Quarter - FY 1987
3. Recruitment of personnel remains an extremely high
priority within the Printing and Photography Division in
order to attain authorized personnel strength by the end of
FY-1987. The second quarter of FY-87 saw the loss of nine
employees, primarily through retirement, and the EOD of six
employees. There are currently 42 applicants in process.
P&PD is currently 10 people below its authorized ceiling.
4. Secure Printing has been a high priority within the
Printing and Photography Division for the last 3 years, and
was previously identified as a research and development

initiative to be undertaken by the Office of Research and
Development (ORD) in FY-1988. P&PD received notification
the second quarter of FY-1987 that ORD will not be
addressing the Secure Printing issue in FY-1988 or in the
foreseeable future. P&PD will continue to independently
research the Secure Printing issue to develop a more
responsive system than the one currently in place.
5. The Digital Prepress initiative continues to attract
a high level of interest within the Office of Logistics,
Printing and Photography Division (OL/P&PD). Investigation
of equipment to bring the "Computer-to-plate" concept into
reality in a production environment occupied the majority of
the resources of this project the second quarter of FY-1987.
Conversations were held with CAMEX, Inc., manufacturers of a
high speed raster image processor, concerning their ability
to output to laser platemakers. Contact was also made with
Rachwal Systems to explore the feasibility of a projection
plate making system based on 70mm film. While this system
does create images on film and does not fulfill the direct
to plate objective, it does appear to offer labor and cost
savings that may serve well until the prepress technology
catches up with P&PD's goal. P&PD will continue research in
the Digital Prepress initiative.
6. The annual Printing of the 13 Volume Congressional
Budget Justification Books was accomplished by the Office of
Logistics, Printing and Photography Division {OL/P&PD) the
second quarter.of FY-1987. The printing of this job appears
to have had less impact on P&PD production units this year
due to increased use of automation by the contributors and
better coordination by P&PD. It is anticipated this trend
will continue in the future.
