MEMORANDUM FOR: Special Assistant to the Deputy Director for
Science and Technology
SUBJECT: CIA Contract Review Board
REFERENCE: Memorandum for Directorates of DD/S&T, dated
30 August 1967, Subject: Responsibilities
for the Contract Review Board (DD/S&T 3513-67).
1. The Statement of Responsibilities and Authorities of the
CIA Contract Review Board has been reviewed and in the opinion of
this office pose no problems insofar as the contracting responsi-
bilities of OSA are concerned.
2. The delegation of Contracting Officer authority to OSA is
direct to the Chief, Contracts Management Division by title. This
delegation permits execution of all contractual documents which
obligate Agency funds, regardless of amount, provided such contracts
are authorized in a duly approved activity program or budget. The
OSA contracting authority is used to administer Agency funds only
in those instances where this is required because of the program
objectives, security restrictions, or contractual relationships. We
are of the opinion that, when the DD/S&T approves this arrangement,
the transaction should be handled entirely through the OSA system.
We should avoid the problems which would inevitably arise if we tried
to mesh the procedures of two different systems. There have been
so few of these cases that such an exception would not be contrary
to the intent of the proposed regulation.

3. The OSA closely integrated procedures together with
the effectual contracting operation may be impaired if additional
review levels are introduced into its existing compact structure.
Should an implementing notice be issued, it is felt that OSA
contracts related to the hould be excluded.
