MEMOR.ANDMI OF UNDERSTANDING
This memorandum delineates the division of responsibility
between the COINS PMO and CIA for the RECON/GUARD project. The
COINS PMO is providing the necessary hardware and software for
the Host Access System (HAS) for the testing and evaluation of
the project. The CIA is providing the space and relevant
personnel and software for the GUARD testing. The project is to
be tested in phases. In the event that any of the phases prove
unsatisfactory based on the evaluation presented to CIA
management, the project will be terminated and the equipment
returned, to the COINS PNIO.
2. It is important to state that this agreement supports only
the testing of the RECON/GUARD system. The provisions of the MOU
will terminate following the completion of this test or at the
discretion of either party. In addition, this agreement does not
imply any other commitment by either party. There will be no
connection of CIA central computer services to any external
networks without written approval by the Office of Data
Processing, the Office of Security, and the data base owner as
appropriate.
3. DIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITY
a. Responsibilities of the COINS PNIO
