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 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 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
