### Systematics
[[Walter Smiley]] founded Systematics in 1968 with Stephens holding 80 percent. It ran the data processing of banks and was sold to [[ALLTEL|Alltel]] in 1990 for 528 million dollars.[^8] In 1995 a Forbes editor, [[James Norman]], wrote in an article his magazine declined to print that Systematics had been a conduit for the [[National Security Agency]]'s surveillance of bank transfers using [[PROMIS]] software and that [[Vince Foster]] had overseen the relationship for the Rose firm. Systematics and Alltel denied it. Representative [[Jim Leach]], chairman of the [[House Committee on Banking, Finance and Urban Affairs|House Banking Committee]], asked the CIA. The agency's briefing paper stated: "We have found no record of any CIA contact or contracts with Systematics, Inc. of Arkansas." Its inspector general's staff and the inspector general of the [[NSA|National Security Agency]] briefed Leach in person on July 21, 1995. The search terms recorded in the memorandum were Systematics, [[Mena, Arkansas|Mena]], and [[Hadron]]. Director [[John Deutch]] ordered an inspector general's investigation on March 13, 1996, a report was completed that November, and Leach was still sending questions in 1998. Neither the House Judiciary Committee's 1992 report on the [[INSLAW]] affair nor INSLAW's own 1994 addendum on the distribution of PROMIS mentions Systematics, Stephens, or Arkansas.[^9][^10][^11]
