MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Deputy Director for Science and
Technology
1. This article appeared a couple of days ago in the Wall
Street Journal. I drew it to Chuck Briggs' attention because I
felt Adm. Taylor might ask some questions about it.
2. So much about computers is sluffed off as "not here yet",
but the evidence presented in this article of use by General Motors
is designing the Camaro, and in particular the interest at Lockheed-
Marietta shows that some real applications have been made.
Lockheed-Marietta, incidentally, got the first IBM time-sharing
going. and as indicated in this article, have been doing computer
sketch pad work since last November. IPRD won't get a BR-90
display device until February, and at that time they will start
working on man-machine interfaces. If we are really serious,
we might do well to get our hands on a guy at Lockheed-Marietta
who has lived through this trauma to provide a little guidance.
