The problem of "management and control" has been recognized by 
NASA management as a very important factor in the success of 
their program. Positive steps have been taken by the installation 
of the Program Management Planning (PMPp system as an interim 
measure. There is no question that NASA operations .must include 
an effective capability to give focus to management problems  
To do this a comprehensive system of information flow must be 
set up to support management in rapid and accurate decision making.
The frequent occurrence of events and circumstances reflecting the 
dynamic character of space exploration also demands a unique 
responsibility to redirect or reprogram vital resources rapidly. 
Also the various levels of management and supervision must concentrate 
a significant proportion of their time on the creative aspects 
of the space exploration problem if the  very difficult technical 
goals are to be accomplished. Those aspects of management regarding 
the generation of routine :reports9 coordination of effort, 
and general information dissemination must be handled through 
systems automation and data processing means.
