MEMORANDUM FORT: Joint OC/OL Survey Committee
Chief, Communications Security Division, OC
SUBJECT: OC/OL Support Mechanism - Intra and Inter
Office Function, arY Relationship and
Organization
1. The consolidated view from the Communications Security
Division regarding the support from the Office of Logistics is
that they are doing a very satisfactory job. AlI branch chiefs
(or their designee) were interviewed, and they all expressed
overall satisfaction with the Office of Logistics' support.
However, there were some comments/suggestions:
a. C/TSB/ETF advised that because of an
increased work load amount of equipment handled has doubled
since 1977; more accounts and added responsibility), one
supply assistant is inadequate to support his Branch. In
addition to requesting another supply assistant. an upgrade
of the current position is being considered.
He also expressed displeasure with the length of
time required to have new and existing service contracts
approved. ` As an exam le he cited the annual renewal of the
service contract with
He stated that the majority o t e contracts involving
since 1975 have been delayed until late December/early
January each year. He recalled the0 contract being
renewed in a more timely manner when ETF had a closer
relationship with the OL contracting officer. He could not
remember specific dates, but reported that the records of
these contracts in OL could be surveyed to support his
argument.
He feels that the most improvement is needed in
procurement for service contracts and sug e~d that a
contract team in OC might be beneficial.

b. EAB, on the other hand, believes that the response
time on contracts has improved from four years ago and that
the Procurement Division was very responsive to their needs.
Further, OL personnel were willing to help and offer advice
when necessary.
c. C/CMB ~~indicated that the OL support to their
requirements, particularly regarding transportation and pro-
curing packing.crates, was exceptional. Also, he suggested
that as a way to possibly save time and transportation
expenses, unclassified s`are arts ordered from the vender
be .shipped directly The current procedure has
these unclassified spare parts sent to CMB, and then CMB
forwards them Perhaps the new OC Equipment
Manager could assist in aving contracts written to
segregate classified/unclassified spare parts and having
these parts addressed to the correct location. If the
unclassified parts are being shipped to CMB because some are
labeled "CRYPTO," he recommends establishing a CRYPTO
Account to receive?these items from the vender.
2. It appears that the relationship between OC and OL is
very good. The OL staff was described as willing and helpful,
and the communications channel between the two components was
mentioned as a strong point.
