Executive Summary
FDA device center's Office of Information Systems and Office of Management Services are likely to be merged, according to FDA staffers. Donald Sauer joined the device center in January as acting associate director for management and systems, overseeing OIS and OMS ("The Gray Sheet" Feb. 14, In Brief). Sauer took on the duties of the OMS acting director with the departure of Helen Winkle this summer ("The Gray Sheet" July 11, p. 24). A merged OIS/OMS entity would assist FDA in achieving the National Performance Review objectives of streamlining mid-level management, staffers note
