MEMORANDUM FOR: Acting Director of Security
]1 OM Deputy Director of Security (Investi-
gations and Operational Support)
SUBJECT Clearances Procedures (Tidy-up Program)
in conformance with Col. Edwards instructions on 19 September
1961 in connection with the Office of Security "tidy-up program", the
following action has been completed as a result of meetings held between
Ch/PSD/PPS and Ch/ID/105.
a) Effective 30 October 1961 PSD/PPS assumed responsibility
for the handling of all clearance action in Staff Agent type
cases.
b) Effective 30 October 1961 PSD/PPS assumed responsibility
for the handling of all clearance action in Contract Employee-Type
B cases. It was agreed that in true agent type cases, even though
the subject will be a contract employee, the clearance action will
be handled by ID/IOS.
2. As directed by Col. Edwards, discussions were also held con-
cerning the general field of the handling of clearances for liaison
purposes. As a result of these discussions, it is recommended that
Employees Activities Branch/PSD be designed' to handle all clearances,
for liaison purposes, whether such liaison occurs domestically or
overseas. It will be incumbent upon EAB to insure that the use is
truly a liaison use and not an operational use, particularly in cases`
originating overseas.
3. Discussions are still pending concerning the transfer to
Security Records Division/IOS of the Outside Agency Name Checks (OANC)
