Charles was an invaluable resource for trouble- shooting major problems that required a high level of technical expertise, knowledge, and experience throughout the Headquarters Compound. He identified many chiller, boiler, and piping problems in advance of any system failures. The utility systems within Headquarters Compound are an essential link in the worldwide Agency operations. The significant improvement in the utility systems are directly attributable to Charles' exceptional performance during the last two years. His technical ability, knowledge, and extensive experience are attributed to the successful development of the large and unique standby generation system. On 24 August Offset Compositor, P&PG, was presented an Exceptional Performance Award by the Director of Logistics for her initiative in preparing and coordinating the procedures necessary to process the annual Congressional Budget Justification Books (CBJB).

From April through October 1987, SS was understaffed by three clerical employees and Lucy's diligent efforts were a major contributing factor in insuring that the clearance activities of the staff were performed in a timely manner. This required considerable overtime and personal sacrifice on Lucy's part. Since the bulk of Lucy's activities revolve around clearance processing, timeliness is critical. Her diligent efforts resulted in a considerable amount of savings to the Agency 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 On 24 August, the Director of Logistics presented Exceptional Performance Awards to the following Mail and Courier Branch (M&CB) employees: 25X1 Due to personnel shortages in M&CB, services 25X1 to the customers had to be reduced.

Ella has been heavily involved with office renovations during her entire tour in LDA. Much of the type of work had to be done after hours and on the weekends to minimize disruption to the office. She had to put in countless hours of overtime to insure LDA's projects were completed. Ella was able to save LDA thousands of dollars in the cost of replacing panels used in the open landscape design of work stations used throughout LDA. Instead of ordering new panels, she ordered new material for the panels, covered the panels herself, and the result was very professional. Ella is an extremely dedicated employee and is willing to tackle any 25X1 problem EMPLOYEE SUGGESTION AWARD 25X1 On 24 August Interior Design Consultant, FMD, was presented a Certificate of Appreciation for her suggestion to contract with the Federal Prison Industries to purchase door sign holders for use throughout 25X1 the Headquarters Building.77 ******* SECRET Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/22 : CIA-RDP91-00280R000300360016-5 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/08/22 : CIA-RDP91-00280R000300360016-5 SECRET DEACTIVATION OF PNEUMATIC TUBE SYSTEMS On 26 August 1988, the automatic and conventional pneumatic tube systems in the Original Headquarters Building was deactivated permanently.

The requirement called for an automated system that could be standalone, would replace the manual system, improve the efficiency of stock management, reduce manpower, and eliminate unused stock. The Technical Group/IMSS/OL (TG/IMSS/OL) was assigned the task to develop the system to support this requirement. The selection process for the computer hardware and software spanned many months. The project was hampered by very definitive restrictions on hardware, by the unavailability of packaged software, and by an unsuccessful developmental start, compounded by many detailed requirements changes. However, we continued to press on with the project and to finalize a selection of hardware and a software package that would meet all internal and external requirements. The hardware consists of one Digital Micro Vax II minicomputer with a four megabit memory, one 95 megabyte cartridge tape, one 205 megabyte removable disk, one Laser printer, one Dot Matrix printer, three color workstations and one Monochrome console monitor. The software package chosen was the Logistics Automated Data System (LADS) III. LADS III is designed to monitor a logistics inventory from requisition through final disposition. The LADS III software was developed under 25X1 contract Starting in November 1987, four member teams consisting of combinations of personnel from TG/IMSS/OL, the Office of Communications, and the Office of Logistics were sent to the five major overseas Office of Communications Bases starting with AMCA, then EUCA, MENCA, AFCA, and ASCA to install the Field Computer System (FCS), to key data, and to provide training. On 10 August 1988 a major milestone was reached, the final FCS was installed at the ASCA base. To date the team has keyed a total of 15,900 line items and trained a total of 24 personnel to use and operate the system. The response from the users of the system at each station has been very favorable, the system is being used on a daily basis, and there have not been any major hardware or software problems to date. On 1 January 1989, TG/IMSS/OL is planning a second release of enhanced software that will provide an Accountable Property System and give the Bases the full capability of Consolidated Memorandum of Receipt (CMR) updating and reporting. The enhancement will be sent out on magnetic tape along with documentation via pouch to each Base, at which time the local Data Base Administrator will install the enhanced software. In view of the training provided during each previous installation and the cumulative level of experience gained by the Data Base Administrators, we have every confidence that the second software release installation will be successfully accomplished as planned. TG/IMSS/OL will continue to support and monitor the progress of each Base relative to the integrity of the data base, data, and security of each system. The Office of Communications Technical Requisitioning (Tech Req) infrastructure will provide hardware maintenance and operational support. There have been further inquiries about the FCS from several Agency Component Officers and to 25X1 date we have supplied copies of the software and the Office of Development and Engineering (OD&E) for their analysis and testing leading to their potential installation and use at remote sites. In addition, TG/IMSS/OL currently has pending requests for FCS software for evaluation from two other Offices.
