Class Determination and Finding, OXC-2122, signed by the DDCI
on 25 October 1961.
4. Certification of funds for this contract will be
handled under the procedure approved by the Director of Central

accumulated in a separate account within the Finance Division.
The amounts in this account will be periodically scheduled for
certification of the vouchers by the Director. This procedure
eliminates the necessity for a separate certification of authority
under Section 8(b) of Public Law 110, 81st Congress (formerly
10(b) - see 85-507 dated 7/7/58) for each contract.
