Harold H. Titus Jr. served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia under President [[Richard Nixon]], succeeding [[Thomas A. Flannery]] in the position. In February 1973, Titus directed the upgrade of the [[PROMIS|Prosecutor's Management Information System]] from its original batch-processing design to a real-time online system capable of handling more than 160 variables per case. This upgrade was funded by the [[LEAA|Law Enforcement Assistance Administration]] and was administered through [[INSLAW]] (then operating as the Institute for Law and Social Research under [[Bill Hamilton]]), establishing the foundation for what became PROMIS II.[^1]
