Contracts for Personal Services under Approved Medical
Office Projects
1. It is regretted that your office has never been issued
any formal procedural instructions for the processing of contracts
for the services of individuals. The major reason is that for
many months it has been hoped that a standard Agency procedure
would be developed. Before this can be done, however, it is ne-
cessary to develop basic Agency policies and principles governing
its contractual relationships. This problem has been under contin-
uous study by a special Task Force and is nearing fruition.
2. In the meantime, the Special Contracting Officer has de-
veloped individual procedures with each of the Covert Offices which
differ somewhat due to differences in organizational structure and
operational concepts. Other offices, such as yours, have been han-
dled on an individual project basis due to the specialized nature
of your contractual requirements.
3. There are, however, certain basic requirements which the
Contracting Officer needs in the fulfillment of his responsibilities.
They are as follows:
a. Knowledge of the approved project under which the
engagement of the individuals was authorized, and the necessary
funds were allocated.
b. Concurrence between the office concerned, the General
Counsel's Office and the Special Contracting Officer that the
terms of the proposed contract are suitable to the circumstances,
are consistent with the approved project and are otherwise in
conformity with Agency policies and procedures.
c. Knowledge that appropriate security clearance has
been issued.
d. Approval of the individual contract by the Chief of
the Office concerned.
Acceptance of the contract by the individual concerned,
f. Knowledge that an official acknowledgment of pseudonym
has been executed and is on file. (This is appropriate only when
contract is in pseudonym.)

1. The above requirements involve the submission of con-
siderable information to the Office of the General Counsel and
the Contracting Officer. This can be done either by memorandum
or by filling out appropriate sections of a form devised for use
in conjunction with one of the covert offices. A supply of these
forms is enclosed herewith.
5. In the meantime, I am returning a group of contracts
with certain medical specialists with a request that they be
returned with a covering memorandum setting forth the following:
a. A general statement of the principles determining
the amount of "retainer" fee paid, if any.
b. A statement of the type and date of security
clearance issued for each individual.
c. Indication of the project under which the contracts
were negotiated.
