## E3.2.9.  Dod-Approved Visits To Dod Contractor Facilities.    Dod-Approved

visits (i.e., DoD-sponsored visits) by foreign nationals to DoD contractor facilities may or may not constitute an exemption to the licensing requirements of the ITAR and the EAR (references (d) and (e)).   DoD-sponsored visits shall not be used to circumvent the licensing requirements of the ITAR.   Therefore, the DoD Components shall:
E3.2.9.1.  Approve the request for a visit and provide disclosure guidance if it is in support of an actual or planned U.S. Government program (this approval turns the visit into a sponsored visit); or, E3.2.9.2.  If the proposed visit is not in support of a U.S. Government program, the DoD Component shall deny the request and notify the requester and applicable DoD contractor that arrangements for the visit may be made directly between the requester and the DoD contractor, provided the DoD contractor has or obtains an export license, if required by references (d) or (e), for any export-controlled technical data that may be disclosed and the necessary security assurance has been provided; or, E3.2.9.3.  Deny the request for the visit if it is determined that the information associated with the proposed visit cannot be authorized for disclosure, and notify the requester and the applicable DoD contractor of the decision.   The denial of the request does not prevent the contractor from accepting the visit provided the contractor has an export license for other controlled U.S. information to be disclosed.

## E4.  Enclosure 4 Foreign Liaison Officer Program E4.1.  General

E4.1.1.  Certification of a FLO does not bestow diplomatic or other special privileges, even though certified FLOs who also have attache status may have diplomatic accreditation by the Department of State.   Reciprocity is not required for liaison officer assignments.

E4.1.2.

They may have access only to that information that is authorized for release to their government.

E4.1.3.  When FLOs are physically assigned to U.S. installations in a Security Assistance or Operational capacity, an agreement containing provisions concerning such matters as responsibilities and obligations of the parties, authorized activities, security requirements, financial arrangements and claims, must be executed.   The requirement may be satisfied by a specific program agreement or an umbrella-type agreement for a single country containing annexes for various assignments that are negotiated pursuant to DoD Directive 5530.3 (reference (i)), or, in the case of Security Assistance FLOs, an LOA that contains the equivalent provisions.   The program agreement or LOA shall use as a basis the model agreement or model provisions approved by the DUSD(PS).

E4.1.4.  FLOs' activities shall be limited to representational responsibilities for their government as described in the certification; they may not perform activities that are a responsibility of an employee of the organization to which assigned or represent the organization in any capacity, nor shall they perform activities or duties performed by DPEP personnel.

E4.1.5.  When the assignment of Security Assistance FLOs is accomplished pursuant to an LOA, the U.S. Government contract that implements the LOA shall require the contractor to place appropriate controls on the activities of the FLO to limit access only to information that is related to the contract and that has been authorized for release to the FLO's government by an appropriate DoD authority.

E4.1.6.  If foreign nationals are to be assigned to a U.S. defense contractor facility under a commercial contract, the contractor must obtain an export license for such assignment, if required by the ITAR (reference (d)), and comply with the NISPOM

is authorized by the sponsoring government to conduct business with the Department of Defense for purposes that must be described, citing related agreements, contracts, or other arrangements that establish the need for the assignment.

E4.2.1.4.  An assurance by the sponsoring government that the proposed FLO
holds a specified level of security clearance.

E4.2.1.5.  A statement by the sponsoring government on whether the proposed FLO may assume custody of documentary information to act as a courier on behalf of the sponsoring government.

E4.2.1.6.  An assurance that the sponsoring government will be responsible for any U.S. classified or controlled unclassified information provided to the proposed FLO.

E4.2.2.  Dress and Identification.    FLOs shall wear their uniforms, if they are military personnel, or, if civilian, wear appropriate civilian attire.   They also must wear, in clear view, a DoD building or installation pass or badge that clearly identifies them as foreign nationals.   Because FLOs represent their government, they may not be provided name tags, e-mail addresses, codes or titles that could be interpreted to infer or imply that they are U.S. Government personnel.

E4.2.3.  Compliance.    While assigned to a DoD installation, the FLOs will be required to comply with all DoD, Service, command, and local installation rules and regulations.

E4.2.4.  Costs.    All costs associated with the placement of a FLO at a DoD
