Donaldson Vice President Federal Systems Operation Honeywell Information Systems, Inc. J 7900 Westpark Drive McLean, Virginia 22102 Dear Mr. Donaldson: In your letter to me of November 7, 1979, you requested that I provide the Chairman, Subcommittee on Research and ( Development, House Armed Services Committee, corrections to my letter of October 1, 1979. Your request is based upon three issues. First, you claim that your company has completed agreements with the General Accounting Office that represent a subs a-ntially different posture as it r.,Ates to certain oneywel1 omputer equipment supplied to nt of-Dense,- These are the ffoneywell 6060 and 6080 computers, which are the World Wide Military Command and Control System (WWM1CCS) standard computers. Thirty-five of these systems have been installed at 27 WWMCCS sites, based upon a contract signed on October 15, 1971. We have made changes to our report based, in part, on verbal suggestions furnished by representatives from your company, in lieu of written comments on these matters. The changes did not result in any substantial redirection of the report or a substantially different posture relating to the 1WVICCS standard computers furnished by Honeywell. Second, you state that the alleged agreements include recognition of the fact that the prior commentary by the General Accounting Office concerning the Honeywell equipment's lack of on-line interactive capability was in error. Our April 23, 1979 testimony to the Chairman indicated that the V.WMCCS standard computers are batch or sequence processing oriented and were not designed to operate in an on-line real- time manner as required in a command and control environment.
