the more than 100 guidance documents that bear upon how budgeting
should be done by any federal agency, e.g. following OMB circulars
A-11, A-34, the Clinger-Cohen Act, GPRA, and dozens more. He is
currently doing requirement analysis for the CFPS in anticipation of
the ramp-up to installing CFPS in more than 40 bureaus and more than
100 posts worldwide. He is technical secretary for State’s CFPS
Pilot Working Group for the Bureau of Resource Management. He
has participated in preparing the CFPS Migration Study, the Work
Breakdown Study, GANNT charts, Program Management Plan, Risk

Project in the Health Affairs Section of the Office of the Secretary
of Defense, doing Y2K oversight. This included the independent

undertaken on over 100 medical computer systems involving every
aspect of the armed forces medical delivery system. He
reviewed and evaluated the systems and wrote detailed reports to the
program managers to assist them in preparing their systems for Y2K
certification to comply with Department of Defense (DoD) Y2K
standards. Dr. Rogers reviewed all system documentation, including
test plans, data dictionaries, system administrator manuals,
installation manuals, etc. and met regularly with users to help them
ward off potential Y2K problems.
Dr. Rogers worked in the Executive Office of
the President (EOP) for six months doing oversight on Y2K testing
and functional readiness testing of many key systems for the Office
of Administration (OA). These systems include the Random Drug
Testing System, the Cabinet Affairs Network System (CABNET), the
Publications Server, the Executive Clerk Tracking System (ECTS), the
Procurement Request Information System (PRISM), and others.
For TMA, he reviewed the results of end-to-end
testing of the Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support (DMLSS)
system to help ensure that the system was ready for century
rollover. This complex system, deployed in over 100 locations
worldwide, used multiple hardware and communication platforms to
allow 13 Prime Vendors to deliver pharmaceuticals and
medical/surgical supplies to Army and Air Force Military Treatment
Facilities (MTFs) throughout the world. It made heavy use of
electronic data interchange (EDI) and data mapping software to allow
legacy MILSTRIP systems to communicate using the ANS X12 standards
with their myriad trading partners.
Dr. Rogers co-authored a white paper on the IT
implications of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of 1966 on TMA, for the Director, Technology Management,
Integration and Standards Directorate (TMI&S). He

achieve an integrated technology architecture (ITA). He

diesel, fuel oils, and marine bunker fuels. Traveled extensively
throughout Mexico and Guatemala seeking to replace
methyl-tertiary-butyl-ether (MTBE) for use in Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex)
gasoline stations to combat severe air pollution problems.
Fuelon proved far more effective than MTBE in reducing pollution,
and because it required only 5% by volume to do a better job than
MTBE, it only contributed 1/20 the volume of contaminants to
the ground water. Fuelon is now sold nationwide by Wal-Mart,
B.J. Warehouses, and the E&J Marine chain.
