expenses should be charged to vouchered or unvouchered funds.
Whichever type was to be used, the trip and the travel would
require approval of the Director, Also, payment would be in

funds would be needed for security purposes. Colonel Edwards
stated that OSO would strongly support this position, if neces-

or more will be referred to the Director for specific approval.
Also periodic accounts will be rendered monthly to the Director,
