The bulk of this CPRG Communique is devoted to the Proceedings of our Second Annual Conference held at and in association with New York University, Division of General Education and Extension Services, Bureau of Conferences and Institutes on July 20 and 21, 1964. The aim of our annual Conferences is to bring together the installation managers, the personnel men, and the psychologists to review the research that has been done in the fields of selection, training, and evaluation of computer personnel, and secondly, to allow the installation managers to further state the personnel problems they face in this new and dynamic field. The Proceedings present a record of the more formal aspects of the Conference; however, this Communique in toto is considered an informal exchange of information for CPRG members and therefore does not preclude the publication of any of these papers in the open literature. In addition to the Proceedings, there is one additional paper of interest and an initial bibliography of publications appropriate to our interests.

Data processing management: is it unique?
