ACTION REQUIRED - REFERENCES
1. Reference book dispatch outlined policy on the employmen servants in
general and included the following specific reference to the employment of guards
for personal quarters overseas:
"The protection of personnel overseas and their property is the
responsibility of the host government
KUBARK will normally follow the practices of
in this regard. Employment of guards for personal quarters at KUBARK
expense will be authorized only if this is established ODYOKE practice
in the area. In emergencies the Chief of Station or Base may take such
temporary action as he deems necessary, subject to subsequent approval
by the Chief, II"
2. Headquarters has recently completed a study of reports from the field
that attest to the exceptionally high incidence of housebreaking and burglary
which is prevalent in many areas. This condition, when coupled with the heavy
requirement for night absences from the home which our activities place upon our
overseas personnel, creates a most serious problem of security for dependents and
property of our personnel and warrants our authorizing night watchman service at
selected posts.
L 3. Therefore, paragraph 3.(b) of reference book dispatch which pertained to
the employment of guards is hereby replaced by the following:
The protection of personnel overseas and their nrnnf r1- r ; c +h 25X1
for the employment of night watchmen for personal quarters must be authorized
by headquarters. The Chief of the Operating Division may authorize such reim-
bursement at those stations or in those individual cases where he determines
that circumstances warrant the employment of night watchmen and the cover and
security situation permits it. In an emergency the Chief of Station or Base
may take such temporary action as he deems necessary, subject to subsequent
approval by the Chief of the Operating Division."
Chiefs of Operating Divisions may apply this authority retroactively to 1 March 1964
for night watchmen payments claimed and disallowed under the policy stated in book
dispatch 4167.

4. This liberalized policy is in no way intended to lessen utilization by
KUBARK personnel of protective services available from either the host government
or the cover organization. These bodies remain basically responsible for the pro-
tection of our personnel and property, and full advantage should be taken of any 25X1 C
services they offer. The authorities granted here are intended solely to permit
uru nun-existent, unavailable to our personnel, or clearly inadequate.
