INFORMATION AND MANAGEMENT SUPPORT STAFF
Responsibilities (LI 1-7, LN 1-15)
The OL Information and Management Support Staff (IMSS) is
responsive to and acts as an advisory body to the Director of
Logistics on matters concerning OL support missions, responsi-
bilities, and capabilities. Through reviews, surveys, evalua-
tions, audits, analyses, monitoring, maintenance of records and
statistics, and liaison with other components and with other
Federal agencies, this staff provides support to the OL
mission, functions, projects, and programs. It ensures that
applicable policies, procedures, regulations, and statutes are
established, published, and disseminated. This staff is also
responsible for the management of the Data Administration
Service (DAS) function--a facility that centralizes control of
automated data processing applications within the Office of
Logistics.
The Chief, Information and Management Support Staff,
functions as the Chairman, Headquarters Claims Review Board;
Chairman, Headquarters Survey Review Board; Chairman, MLD
Panel; and as the DDA representative on the CIA Emergency
Planning Committee. The Chief also is the Agency reprlesen-
tative on the Interagency Committee on Metric Policy.
Significant Activities and Accomplishments - FY 1983
1. The Information and Management Support Staff has
continued to serve as the focal point in the development of a
major OL initiative--the creation of a Logistics Integrated
Management System (LIMS)--an automated system that will effi-
ciently serve OL's support mission of acquiring materiel and
services for the entire Agency. The LIMS accomplishments
during FY 83 include: preparation of the Request for Proposal,
review of competitive bids and the selection of Booz, Allen &
Hamilton, Inc., as the LIMS development contractor for this
multimillion dollar effort; review of all Logistics
Instructions and Supply Instructions incorporating them into
LIMS requirements as appropriate; numerous reviews and refine-
ments leading to the completion of the 1,700-page LIMS Detailed
System Requirements Document; a formal review of system
requirements was conducted by the development contractor and
work began on the System Definition Document. The development
of LIMS has now passed from the system initiation phase to the
definition phase during which Booz-Allen & Hamilton will
develop the preliminary design of the new system. The LIMS
project is progressing smoothly and the caliber of personnel

and quality of work demonstrated to date by Booz-Allen &
Hamilton give every indication that LIMS will be successful in
meeting the Office of Logistics' stated objectives and thereby
enable OL to meet dynamic increased Agency requirements in a
most responsive and professional manner. E
2. IMSS, in addition to its active participation in the
LIMS development project, prepared groundwork and plans for
establishing a Data Administration Service (DAS) organization.
The mission of the DAS function will be to bring the increasing
plethora of OL automated data processing (ADP) applications
within a formal organizational entity that: exploits computer
technologies and capabilities on behalf of OL information
management requirements, invokes quality assurance practices
and principles, provides appropriate and timely training, and
ensures the availability of ODP-furnished technical support.
In addition, the DAS function will assist in the development of
LIMS and facilitate its implementation. DAS will also provide
a specialized career track for those OL personnel inclined
towards the ADP discipline. The DAS concept was successfully
developed and accepted by the close of FY 83.
3. The former Systems Analysis Branch, now a subset of
DAS (Technical Group), provided significant technical support
in developing and implementing the GAS Enhancements project--an
Office of Finance initiative that required alterations to two
OL automated systems. Working day and night, these ODP spe-
cialists achieved a 1 October deadline in bringing these
enhancements successfully on-line. Late in FY 83, the senior
ODP specialist assigned to this group undertook a feasibility
study to determine the potential for using personal computers
in the field to automate logistics records maintenance. This
effort uncovered promising hardware and software for further
experimentation and development.

Headquarters Claims Review Board
1. The Headquarters Claims Review Board (HCRB) reviews
and processes to adjudication all claims for loss of or damage
to personal property submitted by Agency employees in accord-
ance with the eligibility criteria stated
Members of the HCRB include the following: Administrative
Officer, DCI; Special Support Assistant to the Deputy Director
for Administration; representative, Office of the Deputy
Director for Intelligence; representative, Office of the Deputy
Director for Operations; and, representative, Office of the
Deputy Director for Science and Technology. Chief, Information
and Management Support Staff (C/IMSS), is the Chairman of the
HCRB, and the Claims Reviewing Officer (CRO) is a member of the
IMS Staff. The CRO reviews and recommends action on claims to
the HCRB. This committee reviews and adjudicates personal pro-
perty claims in accordance with the enabling legislation,' and
consistent with Agency regulations, following precedent, guide-
lines, past experience, and the procedures of other government
entities. Each member of this committee reflects the interest
or uniqueness of his office or directorate in assisting the
HCRB to identify areas of concern and the possibl d for
modification of policy and Agency regulations.
2. Most claims result from loss/damage incurred during
PCS movement of household effects and air freight. Major losses
resulting from evacuation of a foreign country due to political
unrest or hostile acts have occurred in the recent past. Other
types of losses are due to theft of personal property while on
TDY as well as theft of property from government-assigned
quarters; damage to or loss of property in long-term storage;
damage to privately owned vehicles occurring in transit, as
authorized under Agency travel regulations; and, loss and
destruction of property caused by fire or flood in government-
assigned quarters.
3. The CRO briefs PCS overseas and domestic departees
attending the OTE Overseas Orientation Course, the Office of
Communications Overseas Orientation Program
and the Field dministration Course held at
the OTE An unclassified pamphlet
entitled "Government Liability for Pers Claims"
was prepared to better acquaint people the claims

claim, and category limits on certain items. The pamphlet is
periodically updated and distributed through area support
offices, Central Processing Branch, the Family and Employee
Liaison Office, the claims office, and used as a handout at the
above-mentioned courses. All individuals anticipating TDY or
PCS assignments (overseas or domestic) are being encouraged (by
Central Processing Branch, Office of Personnel) to seek guidance
from the HCRB on what should be done by each individual to Dro-
tect their personal property during transit or assignment.

Goals for FY 84
1. The IMSS Data Administration Service function antici-
pates the coalescing of its functions and personnel so as to
begin the accomplishment of 18 DAS objectives--objectives that
are intended to increase OL's data processing efficiency and
effectiveness. F-1
2. The proposed use of personal computers and associated
software at remote sites has become a DDA-level MBO with speci-
fic development and implementation milestones. Initially deve-
loped basic capabilities are to be tested and placed in use,
followed by system enhancements and the creation of other appli-
cations, as requested by Logistics Officers in the field. F__1
3. Complete the System Definition phase and begin the
Preliminary Design phase of LIMS. Ensure appropriate level of
involvement by OL personnel during design, formal reviews; and
the development of test plans for LIMS.
4. OL objectives listed in the Long-Range Plan will be
maintained on a current basis, in rated in MBOs and an
annual progress report prepared.
5. Obtain as much advanced notice as possible on mission
support requirements through the provision of a logistical annex
on all significant projects.
6. Continue as the OL focal point on audits, regulation
coordination, legislation reviews, liaison with other Government
entities, employee suggestions, studies and general support to
the line organization, as requested.
