The article is titled "Govt IS Projects - Getting the 
Presidential Nod". Apparently there's something called
"A Five-Year Plan for Meeting the ADP and Telecommunications
Needs of the Federal Government" which is a joint plan
created by OMB, GSA, and the Department of Commerce.
The plan targets 15 major systems as Presidential Priority
Systems (PPS) for FY88, "because of their size, complexity,
importance, or because they represent precedent-setting
applications of technology".  There are also twelve so-called
Future Priority Systems.  The PPS and FPS list each have 
one Defense system: PPS has the Air Force Personnel Concepts III
system and FPS has the DLA's Logistics Systems Modernization
Program.

I would like to find out two things:

  (1) How can I get a copy of this Plan?
  (2) Who are some contacts for it?

Information will be much appreciated.

Best,
