Smithsonian Year, 1982-1984
In 1982 a Deputy Director was appointed. The incumbent was responsible for procurement and fiscal controls; facilities management; information systems; budget planning; personnel and other administrative matters. In 1984 the practice of having a single Deputy Director was abandoned and the office abolished. Instead, a number of new Deputy Director positions were created to be responsible for various areas of Observatory operations. John G. Gregory was Deputy Director, 1982-1983.
