Abstract: This article comments on Federal policies for secondary information systems and services since World War II. Federal policies have encouraged the development of in‐house systems and services, integrated with approved missions and purposes of government. Policies have encouraged agencies and departments to use secondary systems and services based in the private sector, but have become less supportive of the development of such systems and services. Federal policymaking is highly decentralized. Policy decisions are made within a political framework, but are often triggered by opportunities to apply (and control) new information technologies.
