At present ~ The two memoranda included in this appendix were written at Stanford University in January or February 1966, in an attempt to explain a problem posed by a government auditing policy which greatly restricted the access of Stanford students to the Computation Center for instructional work. As of October 1967 the problem appears temporarily to be solved at Stanford University on an experimental basis.

A vigorous academic Computer Science program was begun, culminating in the establishment of a Computer Science Department in 1965 that now had 111 graduate students at the Master's and PhD degree levels. Vigorous educational efforts by the Computer Science faculty, and by the faculty of many other departments, were carried out.

the audit agencies reacted (some would say overreacted) by issuing tightly drawn audit guidelines, the effect of which will be to inhibit severely the future growth of computer education.

Stanford, which is presently providing approximately $250,000 annually for nonsponsored users of the computers, cannot afford to increase the amount of these funds rapidly enough to meet the tremendous demand. Thus, computers are forced to be wastefully idle while this student and faculty demand for computer time goes unsatiated.
