MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, Task Force to Update
"Project Officer's Manual"
P asc Force em er,
Industrial Security Branch, OS (C)
SUBJECT: Update of "Project Officer's Manual"
REFERENCE: Your Memorandum Dated 9 April 1979,
Same Subject I
1. Attached is suggested language addressing security
classification procedures and the requirement to submit a
Security Plan for your consideration to incorporate into the
"Project Officer's Manual." This information was extracted
from selected procurement notes, edited, and revised where
I considered appropriate. I have identified the suggested
paragraph numbers in which to insert this material but leave
the final decision to your discretion. (U)
2. I hope to be forwarding to you within the next week
to ten days a proposed procedure regarding precontract contact
and the use of cover in such contact. (For your information,
OGC advises me that a detailed procedure governing use of
cover in contracting activities has been developed by the
Agency, presented to the Attorney General, and that his
approval is imminent. These procedures, underway for some-
time, have been developed pursuant to Sec. 2-303 of Executive
Order 12036; a copy of the above citation is attached for your
reference.) (C)

3. With regard to the method of classifying the Manual,
you may wish to consider a procedure recently employed by the"
Industrial Security Branch in the development of "Standard
Security Procedures for Contractors." The method of classi-
fication used in that particular instance, and set forth
immediately below, was approved by the Agency Security
Classification Officer, ISAS/DDA. Each page of the Manual
was classified (e.g. CONFIDENTIAL) top and bottom as in
normal practice. A descriptor was then placed on the first
page only indicating:
PARAGRAPHS 1, 3 THROUGH 15, 18, AND 20,
APPENDICIES II, IV, AND ALL ANNEXES ARE
CONFIDENTIAL; PARAGRAPHS 2, 16, 17, 19,
AND APPENDICIES I, III, AND V ARE
UNCLASSIFIED.
If we could defend it, and obtain necessary approval, we
might consider the following descriptor:
ALL PORTIONS OF THIS MANUAL ARE CONFIDENTIAL.
If we determine either of the above options inadvisable, a
further alternative to consider, and obtain approval, would
be to simply insert an appropriate classification, e.g. (C),
following each paragraph title with the understanding that
each subparagraph therein would bear the same classification
but would not be individually so marked. (U)
4. The suggestions I have outlined for you have not
been?cooordinated within the Office of Security, or elsewhere,
as it is my understanding that a strawman draft of the entire
Manual will be prepared first and then submitted for Agency-
wide coordination in due course. (U)
S. S any questions, I can be reached
