Did you read the part where it said "the needed technology will not be economically feasible for the average home"? Or the part: "With teletype interface and Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use"?

Aha. I see now 
You people in the states are so complicated Everything is divided to agencies and sub agencies and departments Here the police do everything, and when things get complicated you get a handy visit from the Shabak (FBI).
Joking aside, it really is an important job. Thanks for the info
