Since General Williams is out of town, I am writing you in reply to
his letter to John P~c~~ahon of 22 June. As we .discussed during. my visit,
the assignment of as Director of the Consolidated SAFE Project
Office (CSPO) shou s reng hen our joint development of SAFE. He is
currently the Associate Deputy Director for Processing, the component of
the Office of-Data Processing (ODP) which provides the majority of support
to CSPO. Consequently, we believe he will be able to insure the total
commitment of resources of ODP to the project. He has considerable
experience managing the development of large ADP programs, He is a good
will remain available to provide continuity for SAFE as
and I will remain involved in the management of SAFE. We w~ con ~nue o
work with and your senior management to insure that your interests
are receiving proper attention.
As I mentioned at our meeting, John McN9ahon shares General irlilliams'
concern that we do nothing that will result in any diminution of DIR's
influence over the project or that will in any way slow the momentum of the
project. 6~e in the management of the project are very sensitive to these
concerns and want to insure that there is no repeat of past problems.
Sincerely,
required. Both the Director, Office of Data Processing,
