A new approach was instituted for the fourth Automatic Data Processing Conference of the U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Agency personnel were interviewed prior to the Conference to establish questions and issues that the meeting ought to address. An objective opinion was sought from Organizational Development Associates, a contractor, on how best to structure the Conference. An agenda was distributed prior to the Conference; a summary of which is included as an appendix. Considering the agenda and structure of the Conference, "Track Reports" provide the most concise summary of the goals, issues, unresolved questions, recommendations, and needed actions developed at the Conference. The Track Reports (planning, telecommunications, standards, procurement and applications) form the basis of these proceedings. The keynote address, comments at the final session, roster of participants, and an assessment are added to complete the report. (Author/SJ)
