MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Michael J. Malanick
? Acting Deputy Director for Administration
SUBJECT: Relationships with Agency Contractors
REFERENCE: Memo for ADCI from ADDA, dated 11 August
1977, Same Subject
In answer to your question:;:
1. "But that may have been what caused the
problem."
Answer: We don't believe so. Logistics would
find itself in a position where it would still have
to go back to the appropriate technical component
for their advice and, while Logistics is perfectly
willing to interface with the contractor, as is OGC,
the ultimate responsibility for the appropriate
response lies within the operating component and the
contractor, himself.
2. "Have you checked this procedure out with
the Directorates?"
Answer: No, we have not done so as yet, but
would do so before we went ahead and implemented
our proposal. They may balk at such an arrangement
because they might consider it a hindrance to them
in their quick reaction capability; but, inasmuch
as the contracting officers are part of the team,
this should not prove to be a real obstacle. You
should note that this was the initial proposal to
come out of the DDCI's office.
