y Director (Support)
e of Uniforms for civilian Guards
1. This memorandum contains re adatious for
Deputy Director (Support) approval. Said reco enc a.
tions are contained, In paragraph 5 below.
2. to the rapidly increasing population at
r-~
peoples are presently in Place with
d y bsr 19631. it is felt that a a
as a. readily Identifiable, entity. To accomplish this,
the Detachment Commander and his Bonier Security Officer
believe that the outfitting of the gua-ra in high
quality distinctive uniforms is the wet logical means.
3. The uniform proposed bY1 --j poop le is
quite similar to that worn by the CalIforoia Sigbwaay
patrol. Use of this particular uniform would base the
advantage of a pre.45ta$li:shed aura of authority as the 25X1 A
uniform is familiar to most of Personnel.
Price quotations were obtained. .ram several uniform
speciality shops in the Los flagoles Area. Of the five
shops contacted, only one could furnish all of the items
of clothing desired. This particular shop also was
deemed the 'sort desirable source from the standpoint of
tailoring faa ilitiee$, business reputation, quality,
weight and-durability of material, delivery time, etc.
Cmparativ* costs were obtained from one of the loading
local uniform shops and it was found that the pricesThc
quoted by the Los Angeles firm were slightly less,
desired uniform, which includes both summer and winter
lathing, will cost $330.97 per man.

A Whi i A wp reooonize that C
uniforms for civilian employees, that particular regulation
restricts the cost to $100 per man annually and provides
no allowance for cleaning and repair. We feel there is
justification for the relatively large expenditure per
man which we are proposing in. the fact that the guards
are hired under a three-year contract (with the option to
renew for an additional two years). We further believe
that since our intent is to make the wearing of this spe-
cific uniform a condition of employment, we are obliged
to bear a reasonable expense for cleaning and repair.
Although these uniforms will be considered as expendable
on issue, they will remain the property of the Agency and
will be issued to employees on a hand receipt.
5. It is recommended that you waive certain restric-
tions imposed byl nd approve:
Purchase of uniforms for civilian contract
a
.
at a cost not to exceed $335 per
I
25X1A guards
man; and
b. Payment by the Agency of reasonable uniform
cleaning and repair costs.
Sufficient funds are available in the Project OXCART
FY 1963 budget for this purpose.
