Status of Tasks Assigned by Senior Management: II. Items or Events of Major Interest that have Occurred During the Preceding Week A. The inclement weather conditions we recently experienced have had a negative impact on activities within the Office of Logistics, Printing and Photography Division (OL/P&PD). Due to the weather conditions and hardware problems experienced by OL/P&PD, the Office of Finance (OF) Computer Output Microfilm (COM) payroll applications were not completed as scheduled. Although P&PD maintains redundant systems to ensure production schedules are met in the event of machine failure, both Bell & Howell COM recorders malfunctioned at the same time. A service call was placed to Bell & Howell early on Thursday, January 22, but the weather conditions delayed the arrival of the service technician until Friday, January 23. After the COM recorders were repaired, P&PD again experienced problems with one recorder which reduced production capabilities by 50%. Due to the efforts of-personnel assigned to P&PD, enough of the payroll application was processed to enable OF personnel to respond to emergency questions. The weather conditions also resulted in the cancellation of the Special Interest Group on CD/ROM Applications and Technology (SIGCAT) meeting sponsored by the US Geological Survey (USGS), the Laser Disk Interest Group.(LDIG) meeting organized by P&PD, and the P&PD and Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) quarterly status meeting. All of these meetings will be rescheduled in the near future.

Representatives of the Office of Logistics, Printing and Photography Division (OL/P&PD) travelled to Boston, MA, on 22 and 23 January to visit Rachwal Systems and Camex, Inc. Rachwal Systems is a vendor of projection platemakers which use 70mm film as a base. A demonstration of the Rachwal system was very impressive. The visit to Camex, Inc. was also very valuable in that Camex'states that they can electronically accept page files with text and graphics in place, and output to a Crossfield laser platemaker in the predefined imposition sequence with production time constraints. Both of these systems will be further evaluated to ~etermine- their fulness to P&PD applications. * C. Printing of the 13 volume Congressional Budget Justification Books continues as a high priority within the Office of Logistics, Printing and Photography Division (OL/P&PD). Currently, four volumes (8, 10, 11, and 13) are in the Bindery Section, with the other nine volumes either in the production stream or awaiting the return of proofs from the customer. The deadline for delivery of all 13 volumes, which is for January 28, will not be met due to the slow approval of proofs by the customer. D. The Office of Logistics, Printing and Photography Division (OL/P&PD) responded to an urgent request from the Directorate of Operations, Special Activities Staff (DO/SAS) for a medium to high volume copier (75,000 - 125,000 copies per month) that operates on standard power (110 volts) and occupies a minimum amount of space to be installed within one week. After P&PD's investigation of available equipment a Canon model 8570 copier with stapler and finishing unit was installed within five working days. The customer has expressed satisfaction with both the machine and the vendor's response to their requirement.
