Dear George:
Your written authorization is requested for the attached purchase
order covering fifteen hundred man-hours of technican labor to be
procured from the 25X1A

for a period of about eight weeks during the heavy construction phase
of the System 4 development program.
The purchase order was placed with this vendor on the basis of
competitive bids. The rate of the lowest price 25X1 A
offered, and this company is also believed to e the best qualified to
provide the type of service needed.
The personnel involved will work in our own plant in a segregated
area on unclassified portions of the project. Since neither the company
nor the personnel have security clearances, they will not have access
to classified areas, and will be used in the construction of portions of
the circuitry which will not permit identification of the end use of the
equipment nor of its character. It is anticipated that no more than six
men will be required at any one time. For your information, we are
listing below the names, of the men who may be assigned under this
purchase order:
