5. By memorandum dated 29 July 1955 from the Director of
Central Intelligence to the Comptroller, and in accordance with
the provisions of Section 10(b) of Public Law 110, the Director of
Central Intelligence has certified that the sum of $3,500,000 is
available for expenditure for Project EQJIlM. This Action under our
prior system of operation would require an increase in the amount
stated in the memorandum mentioned above from the DCI to the Comp-
troller. The DCI approved a new procedure on 15 December 1956, which
in effect results in all 10(b) expenses, where Treasury checks are
drawn, being accumulated in a separate account within the Finance
Division. The amounts in this account are periodically scheduled
separately to the DCI for certification of the voucher, which eliminates
the need for separate certifications on each section 10(b) transaction.
