Approved For Release 2002/01/29 : CIA-RDP78B04747A001900040020-6 NP1C/IPD-l0'.)/67 23 March 1;:67 25X1A 1. I called on 22 March 1'67 to discuss progress 25X1A and performance of work on PHASE II Task I of the = IIS contract. 25X1A I pointed out that the subta.sk papers received for discussion purposes to date were very poor and incomplete, that I would not accept work of this caliber from our own people, that we expected = to stand oehin4 the terms of the contract which states that the position papers would outline alternative methods to satisfy the requirements and include an analysis of the equity involved in each of the alternatives. To date, only two of the papers received for review have contained the kind of work anticipated, awing near and that I was afraid they would cut short fact gathering, 2. I cited the discussion with Chief C9 ? and Chief/IPi1 and "ethers, previous afternoon in which the representative did not even know the names he used to identify the files he was proposing. I pointed out that the completion dates of many of these tasks are a and coordination to complete each task on schedule. 25X1A Iftw 3. Rather than perform the analysis prescribed by the contract. I pointed out that quality control and supervision over the work of the design team and integration of individual efforts appeared non- existent, I suspect that the reorganization within - was seriously interfering with performance on this contract and recommended strongly that the personnel assigned to this contract be relieved of responsi- bility to supervisors other than the project officer, 25X1A 4. I concluded with the fact that we feel obligated to forward comments on the last monthly report through channels as it contains statements we could not accept and which if left standing, would jeopardize our ability to insist on compliance with the contract terms. I further stated that if the quality of work did not improve we were prepared to blow the whistle now and cancel the contract rather than to piddle along wasting time and money.
