SUBJECT: Delegation of Authorit
Requests) Y (External Training
1. Effective immediately, I have delegated authority for
the approval of external training requests costing up
to each functional Deputy Director. This delegationofo $700
authority rescinds an internal office of Security policy which
previously limited the approval of*requests for external
training up to $300 to each Deputy Director.
2. In connection with this delegation of authority, all
functional Deputy Directors will be responsible for insuring
that sufficient training funds are available and that
appropriate guidelines are followed regarding relevance of
requested training to job duties. To ensure that these
responsibilities are properly executed, all requests for
external training will be fully coordinated with the Office of
Security Budget Branch and the Security Education Group. It is
emphasized that these requests should be appropriately
processed and approved in advance of the actual training.
3. All requests for external training which exceed $700
will require a recommendation from the appropriate Security
Professional Sub-Group Panel and

11 APR 1984
Director of Security,
Bill
Delegation of Authority -Training
I. have been advised by the Security Education Group that it
has been our own internal policy to limit the authority of DD's
in approving external training requests to three hundred
dollars, ($300.00). All requests above that level must be
referred to the office of Security Professional Sub-Group Panel,
and get the formal written approval of the Director of Security.
It is emphasized that this restriction is self-imposed, and the
requirement does not come from the Office of Training and
Education, and there is certainly jrd nothing in the regulations
on it. The minutes of 8 March 1984 reflect that it took the time
of nine supergrades to approve attendance at a
I recommend that the DD's be delegated the authority to
approve external training requests up to $700.00, along with the
responsiblity of making sure that sufficient training funds are
available in PPG, and that appropriate SEG guidelines are being
followed,in terms of job relationship. There is the following
rationale in making this suggestion:
* It comes within the letter and spirit of the attack on
bureaucracy, as advocated by John McMahon,Harry Fitzwater,
and Hank Mahoney.
* I don't think that chain of command managers are going to
abuse the system, and there are built-in checks and
balances
* In these days of inflation, $300.00 does not buy much
external training - little more than a high school typing
course.
* This is the age of computers, and it is in the self-
interests of the office to provide backing to individuals
who are willing to take the time to be better equipped to
work requirements.
* This is a busy office and managers have more important
problems to address.
