MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
SUBJECT: Printing Plate Re-Melt
The following is a sequential circler of events leading to P&PD
transfer of printing plate re-melting from Bladensburg Metals to
Tomke Aluminum:
a. After conducting a survey of Bladensburg Metals in
early November 1974, the Office of Security/Safety Branch
notified P&PD that unsafe conditions existed at Bladensburg
Metals. The position of OS was that P&PD was taking undue
risks in assigning its personnel to an area at Bladensburg
Metals that violated OSHA standards. Shortly thereafter,
OS, informed me that he would no longer provide
to Bladensburg Metals due to the unsafe conditions.
escorts
b. OS/Safety Branch, assumed
the responsibility for finding a suitable replacement for
Bladensburg Metals until such time when P&PD would be able
to utilize the Hammermill Pulverizer scheduled for
installation

Metals. raised the question of GPO's method
for disposal of classified plates. Told that GPO cuts
their classified plates into pieces for disposal at Lorton,
Virginia, an unsuitable process for P&PD,
?saw no problem in going to Tomke, especially on an interim
basis until the Hammermill pulverizer is operational.
f. OL/Security Staff, was contacted to
address the problem of funding the Tomke plate re-melt,
since the Agency must pay for the service rather than
being reimbursed as was the case at Bladensburg. Mr.
acquired a FAN number-with'OS as the. office
responsible for funding tha project.
g. OJCS requested P&PD:to include theirdisc paLks
with our printing plates in the run to Tomke- Approval
was granted.
