MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Communications

SUBJECT
Acting Director of Data Processing
: TEMPEST Requirements
2. The computer devices which we expect to install
over the next few years include; CRT terminals, printing
terminals, floppy disk drives, medium speed printers and
minicomputers with high capacity disk drives and tape
drives. In many cases the computer terminals must be
placed near non-secure telephones since they will be an
integral part of a person's work station.
3. While it is hard to determine the specific life
cycle for the equipment we will be selecting, past experience
indicates that it will have a useful life of seven to ten
years. Thus, it is reasonable to expect that some of the
computer devices selected now will still be in operation
in the late 1900's and possibly the early 1990's.

4. We would find it most helpful to our current
procurement and equipment planning activities, if your
office could provide us with the TEMPEST standards which
,our equipment must meet. I am sure there are many tech-
? nical details related to this request that will have to
;- be worked out between our offices. For further information
please contact Chief, Engineering Division,
