MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for Science and Technology
VIA: Acting Deputy Director'for Administration
FROM: -James H. McDonald
Director of Logistics
SUBJECT: Industrial Security Procedures Relating
to Agency Funded Contracts
1. It has recently been brought to my attention that
several office heads in DDST have issued instructions to
their Contracting Officer's Technical Representatives (COTR)
regarding the COTR's security responsibilities for Agency
contracts. This increased awareness and attention to Agency
industrial security procedures is most welcome and gratifying;
however, COTRs must be alert'to the. fact that any direction
to the contractor which is not consistent with the terms of the
contract may result in claims for additional cost.
2. In connection with Agency. funded contracts, the
focal point for security instructions to contractors should be
either through the team contracting officer or team security
officer, and in those offices not having contracting teams, it
should be through the appropriate contracting officer in the
Procurement Division or the Security Staff/01. I am confident
if COTRs representing the DDS&T offices effect proper liaison
and coordination in advance that directives issued by the DCI
concerning industrial security can be properly implemented
without overriding established channels and creating confusion
in the minds of our contractors.
