SUBJECTS FY 1984 Requirements for Computer Terminal
REFERENCE: Memo from Chief, P&BG, MS/ODP, dtd 24 Feb. 1981
Subject: 1983 Computer Terminal Requirements
1. Annually, the Office of Data Processing (ODP) requests
each office using or planning to use ODP resources to provide
their program year requirements for computer terminals in a
format in which they can be successfully justified and defended
at subsequent program reviews.
2. ODP's FY 1983 budget contains the terminal requirements
stated in the reference which includes the major portion of the
minimum level requirements. A copy of your, directorate's
requirements for these terminals is attached. You may change the
allocation between offices within your directorate at any time.
However, an increase in cost resuit.ng from a change in the type
of terminal requested must be supported by-your directorate.
3. Directorate ADP control officers must advise each of
their office ADP control officers which of their 1983 terminal
requirements can be satisfied from the directorate's
allocation. Then the office ADP control officers can establish a
base for their 1984 requirements.
4. Since ODP could support less than 25 percent of the 1983
terminal requirements, it is possible that all 1984 requirements
will be budgeted directly by users. However, a decision has not
yet been made on 1984 terminal budgeting by the Comptroller.
Regardless of who budgets for terminals in 1984, ODP will still
need to know your 1984 requirements for terminals to access
central ADP services or dedicated computer systems supported by
?13P .in order that they can be priced and adequate terminal
controller capacity can be planned by ODP. All other terminal
requirements should be budgeted by the component except for
terminals to access the SAFE system, which will be provided by
the Consolidated SAFE Project Office (CSPO).

5. Again for 1984, you are requested to prepare a separate
form for each new terminal requirement. This year it is not
necessary to assign a decision level to each requirement.
However, it is requested that you identify each requirement as
either supporting an ongoing activity or a new initiative. Also,
a summary total form is required from each office which states
projected requirements for the 1984-1988 time period. One copy
of the detailed instructions, terminal requirement form, and
summary total form are attached.
6. As was done last year in the reference, you will be
notified of the ODP cost to support each of your requirements
regardless of where they will be budgeted. However, by
identifying your requirements earlier this year, you will be
informed of their costs by the end of January which should make
it easier to include them in your program, if necessary.
7. Also, enclosed are sets of instructions, terminal
requirement forms, and summary total forms for office ADP control
officers. Additional sets should be copied, as required.
8. Questions concerning the number of terminals assigned or
pending installation through 1982 and/or the type of terminal
required for 1984 should be directed to Mr STAT
CSS/ODP, All other questions sou a rected
to STAT
9. Please forward the requirements for your directorate in
one package to the Chief, Program & Budget Group, MS/ODP, by COB
Janaury 1982.

Instructions for Identifying
New Terminal Requirements
for FY 1984
Complete a separate form for each new terminal requirement targeted for FY-84.
The requirement defined on this form should be limited to terminals that will be
connected to systems supported by ODP -- either as a central service or dedicated STAT
system. Questions concerning the number of terminals assigned or pending installation
STAT through 1982 and/or the ty e of terminal required for FY-84 should be directed to Mr.
STA All other questions should be directed to

The description of the teleprocessing equipment in this paper is to aid in
understanding the type of equipment ODP uses to support a variety of user
requirements.
The Standard Terminal and associated equipment.
- Standard Terminal
- A standard terminal has a keyboard and a video display (crt). It uses a full
alphanumeric character and block graphic code set. It has the capability to
send and receive data via communications lines to a remote host computer. The
standard terminal offers extended functions, such as editing and formatting data
entry. In some cases the user can tailor the terminal to fit his own application
via a limited degree of programming, such as format creation and parameter
definition.
- Local Host
- A local host microprocessor with diskette storage on floppy disk drives is
available for use with the standard terminal. The local host runs CP/M as its
operating system and accepts commercially available data management packages and
programming language processors; such as BASIC.
- Hard Copy Printer
- Any of the hard copy printers can be used in the Headquarters building, but only
the tempest secure printers can be used outside of Headquarters.
- Non-tempest
- When used as a slave printer, it produces medium quality output at medium
speed (150 characters per second).
- This printer may eventually be tempest secure for use outside of Headquarters.
- Tempest
Type A - When used as a slave printer, it produces low quality output at low
speed (30 characters per second).
Type B - When used as a slave printer, it produces correspondence quality output
at low speed (30 characters per second).
Remote Line Printers
- Remote Line Printer
- Prints computer output on standard computer pinfeed form paper at remote locations
at line speeds from 600 to 1000 lines per minute.

Graphics Terminals and associated equipment.
- There are two categories of graphics devices available, standard (black and white) and
color. Both types perform in much the same way with color adding dimensions in contrast
in varying degrees, depending on the model.
- Graphics Terminal
- Provides a means not only of displaying data in a graphic form, but also of
manipulating and modifying the data that is presented.
- Graphics Hard Copy Unit
- Reproduces the image on the graphics display screen through a cable connection in
much the same way as a copier reproduces printed material.
- Desk Top Plotter
- A digital plotter which is a computer output device that produces drawings, charts,
diagrams, and similar graphic copy, as distinguished from the reports consisting
solely of alphanumeric characters which are produced by typical line printers.
Usually used in conjunction with graphics terminals to produce final drawings in
black and white, or color.
Non-standard Equioment
- Teleprocessing equipment not described above, but needed to meet a specific requirement
should be identified as 'OTHER'.
Instructions For Completing Attached Form.
Type of Terminal
- Identify the terminal and associated equipment needed to satisfy one terminal
requirement.
Requirement
- The requirement should relate to the overall mission of the Agency. Identify the product
and the consumers. Name the ODP project(s) this terminal will support. If additional
space is required, please use an attachment.
Disapproval Impact
- The disapproval impact should describe in quantitative terms the efforts needed to
satisfy the requirement with alternative methods. If additional space is required,
please use an attachment.
Terminal will Access
- Identify each of the on-line systems that the terminal will access.
- Identify the computer center(s) that the terminal will access.

Availability List
1. Attached, for your review, is the latest "AD? Resources
Availability List" from GSA. This list announces excess
government-owned or leased ADP equipment available for
reutilization. The majority of government-owned equipment is
available to requesting agencies at no cost. To obtain more
information on an item, components should contact GSA directly at
[phone].

resolve, if necessary, competing internal Agency requests for the
same equipment. Requesting equipment for which there is an
acquisition cost is in the nature of a procurement action and
will further require the services of ADP and Engineering Branch,
Office of Logistics.
3. To actually acquire the equipment, the requestnr./
Component should promptly call the Office of Logistics,
Interdepartmental Support Branch (IDSFJ) on extension
ID ES will contact GSA, attempt to place the item on "hold," and
provide instructions to the requesting component regarding the
process to acquire the equipment. Please note that it will
