ABSTRACT
At CYRUS’ completion, it had two data bases. The more detailed data base contains information about former United States Secretary of State Cyrus Vance. He was chosen because he was in the news often enough to generate a large number of news updates, but he did few enough types of events to make the initial specification of E-MOPs feasible. When Vance resigned, CYRUS began organizing information about Vance’s successor, Edmund Muskie, into a second data base. The initial memory organization CYRUS started with for each man was the same. However, because of their differing experiences, the new E-MOPs built by the system for Muskie’s events are somewhat different than those built for Vance.
