1. Attached are the cost estimates for new communications services which
your office identified for domestic activities. The costing figures are
submitted for use in preparing the Directorate of Administration (DA) FY1988
through FY1992 budget.
2. The 1988 Program and Budget Call Instructions require that a TAB 13
(Communications Services-New Requirements) be submitted with your Office 1988
Program submission. Requests for communications services in FY1986 and FY1987
and which are currently funded in the FY1986 and FY1987 budgets are to be
reflected in TAB 13. Services requested in FY1988 should be reflected in
TAB 13 if funding is provided in your base level or an ongoing program and/or
if your office has an approved :iew initiative entering the 1988 program.
Communication services due in FY1989 and beyond should be considered for
funding when your 1989 Program is formulated, circa January 1987. In essence,
only reflect those requirements in TAB 13 for which funds are included in the
1986, 1987 and 1988 office budgets. Naturally, communication services
requirements which are not included in the budget become unfunded. Please
ensure this memorandum is brought to the attention of your Plans and Budget
personnel as soon as possible.
3. The Office of Communications (OC) will continue to track FY1988
through FY1992 New Communications Services for both OC and the Office of
Information Technology (OIT) through the bud et process for D1 nning
purposes. Please direct any questions to IC-MPS, secure

Communications Services Requirements
FY 1987 Through FY 1991 (0IS 84-620)
This memorandum responds to the request in reference A for the
identification of new communications services for the five year period of
FY 1988 through FY 1992. As discussed with a member of the DA Management
Staff, the three OIS requirements provided last year in reference B
remain the same except as provided in the following:
1. Local Area Network (LAN): The initial testing
associated with the Information Management for Office Automation
initiative is now scheduled for FY 88 instead of 87. FOC is
scheduled for FY 89. Based on the assumption OIS would be
relocated to the new building, OC stated in their memorandum of
10 January 1985 (OC-3201) that the LAN would be provided at no
cost to OIS. Since that time, however, we have received word
that the point of relocation for OIS is undetermined.
2. High Bandwidth Fiber Optics: OC also stated in their
10 January memorandum that this communication capability for the
Officially Released Information System (ORIS) would be provided
at no cost to OIS. Again, this was based on the assumption OIS
would be relocated to the new building. Because of the high
costs associated with fiber optics, ORIS as an Agency-wide
system may be impractical for the foreseeable future should OIS
be relocated to an outlying building. In that event, this
requirement may be dropped or severely curtailed.
3. Communications Between Headquarters and the Agency
Archives and Records Center: No change.

Rte. NUDTER: OIS/FY87-1
OFFICE RANK: 1 of 1
OFFICE: Office of Information Services
TITLE: Information Management for Office Automation
COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE FOR: New Initiative.
REQUIRBM4T: A local area network (LAN) will be deeded to support an office
automation (OA) application in OIS. By FY89 a minimum of p[] devices
are expected to be on the LAN.
JUSTIFICATION: Rapidly increasing technical capabilities, increasing
availability, and decreasing prices indicate that OA will proliferate
in the Agency over the next several years. An OA application in OIS
will be used to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to prepare
OIS to handle OA applications. Specifically, the OA application in OIS
will be used to develop, test, and establish information management
standards and procedures that in turn will form the basis of an
Agency-wide OA information management program. An additional objective
is to reduce storage space.
TIDE REQUIREMENT: Initial testing is currently scheduled for FY87.
IOC is scheduled for FY89.
IMPACT OF LACK OF SERVICE ON OTHER PROGRAMS: (1) Legal and administrative
mistakes in other OA applications would be inevitable. (2) OIS office
auditing programs would be hampered because OIS personnel would not
have the necessary expertise to provide realistic appraisals of where
office automation should be applied and where it should not. (3) The
file structuring inherent in the OA application is a necessary
precursor to the "knowledged-based front-end records disposition
system" being considered for inclusion in DS&T's Research and
Development Program. (4) The OA application would serve as a first
step in a longer-range effort to reduce reliance on paper as a
long-term storage medium at Headquarters and the Agency Archives and
Records Center.

titled Automated System to Record CIA
Information Released to the Public (OIS 84-449)
B. OC memorandum dated 19 Oct 1984,
same subject (OC 0911-84)
COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE FOR: New Initiative.
REQUIRB STr: Per Reference B, a high bandwidth fiber optics
telecommunications capability is needed to support ORIS, an
Agency-wide, on-line system that will capture and display the texts of
material released to the public on a terminal or special screen. ORIS
w
F7 ill need to accommodate approximately 46 gigabytes of information and
users by 1995.
JUSTIFICATION: ORIS is needed to enable the Agency to get a handle on CIA
information placed in the public domain; that is, to give officials
throughout the Agency the capability to readily determine what CIA
information has been officially released and the circumstances of the
release. ORIS will replace at least two existing automated systems.
TIME REQUIREMENT: Initial testing of ORIS -is currently scheduled for FY90.
IOC is scheduled for FY91.
IMPACT OF LACK OF SERVICE ON OTHER PROGRAMS: The DST is now in the
position of not knowing the extent to which individual projects have
been publicly acknowledged, let alone the circumstances, and the DI has
a similar problem with its day-to-day review of information under the
FOIA. The DO is in the best position with its PICDOC system, but
PICDOC does not provide the texts of releases and, consequently,
retrieving such texts is a time consuming and unwieldy process. The
DA's DECAL system, while it does capture released texts on film, is not
designed for Agency-wide use and, because of the increasing volume of
material it must hold, will need to upgraded or replaced within the
next few years if ORIS is not developed.

REQ. NU-fER: OIS/FY90- 2
OFFICE RANK: 2 of 2
OFFICE: Office of Information Services
TITLE: Communications Between Headquarters and AARC
C%tMICATIONS SERVICE FOR: Enhancement to existing capability.
REQUIREMENT: A gradually improved communications capability between
Headquarters and the Agency Archives and Records Center (AARC) will be
required throughout the 1990s. The enhanced capability is needed to
support the projected growth in the electronic transfer and retrieval
of documents and other data that will be held in digitized form at both
locations.
JUSTIFICATION: Because of national security considerations most Agency
permanent (to be kept forever) records will not be transferred from the
AARC to the National Archives and Records Administration until they are
at least 50 years old, and some of the. more sensitive records will
probably be maintained by the Agency for 100 years or more. Given the
space and resource constraints forecast for the future at both
Headquarters and the AARC, there appears little alternative to
gradually moving away from the storage and retrieval procedures used
today toward the increased use of electronic storage and retrieval. As
this occurs, the communications capabilities between Headquarters and
the AARC will need to be progressively enhanced.
TIME REQUIRR4wr: As stated, 1990 and beyond.
IMPACT OF LACK OF SERVICE ON OTTER PROGRAMS: Time-consuming and labor-
intensive alternatives will be used that will negatively impact on a
wide range of information management programs.
