MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. B. E. Morriss U lli'~hti__ l6-
Deputy Manager
National Communications System
SUBJECT: Comments on Proposed National Communications
System Directive 2-2 and Sample Interagency
Funding Agreement
1. As requested at the October 23, 1986 National
Communications System (NCS), Council of Representatives meeting,
the following suggested changes are provided regarding NCS
documents 701/1 and 701/2.
2. We continue to believe that the shared funding concept
is not in the best interest of the NCS or the member agencies.
We will, however, support the development of the National Level
Program (NLP) with funding levels which receive final approval in
the Congressional Budget process. It is requested that the
following clarifications be added to the documents in question,
(words underlined indicate changes).
a. Paragraph 4, NCS #701/1: "Written agreements shall
be executed between each NCS organization and the Manager,
NCS, to govern the transfer of Congressionally authorized
and appropriated national level program funds."
b. Paragraph 6. h. , NCS #701/1: "Written funding
documents executed annually between the Manager, NCS, and
each NCS member organization that provide for the transfer
of Congressionally authorized and appropriated NLP funds to
the Manager, NCS."
c. Paragraph 7.c.(2), NCS #701/1: "Oversee the program
and financial management of national level NSEP
telecommunications programs, reporting quarterly on program
status (to include expenditure of funds) to the NCS
Committee of Principals."
d. Paragraph 8.b., NCS #701/1: "The shared funding of
national level NSEP telecommunications programs will be
accomplished through the execution, between each NCS member
organization and the Manager, NCS, of an agency-specific NLP
Funding Memorandum of Agreement, Interagency Funding
Agreements, and vouchers for the transfer of Congressionally
authorized and appropriated funds."

Congressionally authorized and appropriated NLP funds are to
be expended, and will be signed and returned by each
organization upon receipt of appropriated funds (or
Continuing Resolution)."
g. Appendix C. Paragraph 3.c., NCO' #701/1: "The
determination, by Federal departments and agencies, of their
NSEP telecommunications requirements and the provision,
after consultation with the Office of Management and Budget
(011B), of Congressionally authorized and appropriated
resources to support their respective requirements for NSEP
telecommunications."
h. Appendix C. Paragraph 4.1.b., NCS #701/1: "Upon

and execute with the Manager, NCS, by August 31 of each year
the Interagency Funding Agreements required for the
transfer, advancement and/or reimbursement of
Congressionally authorized and appropriated national level
program funds."
j. Appendix C. Paragraph 5.0, NCS #701/1: "This MOA is
effective upon the date of the latest signature. This MOA
is subject to periodic review and update as circumstances
warrant and will terminate upon the mutual agreement of the
parties. Compliance with this HOA is subject to the
authorization and appropriation of NLP funds by the
Congress."

Funding Agreement provides for an advance of Congressionally

3. In addition to the above changes which would be
applicable for any of the member agencies, it will also be
necessary to classify the agreements which we enter into with the
NCS. In this regard, add Paragraph V, NCS #701/2: "Due to
security restrictions of CIA, no unclassified release of funding
information is authorized."
