'CONTROL SYSYEM ONI,'1(, 

13 February 1968 

It was my understanding that you have asked Col Worthman 

to look into the matter of Charge 0575 (attached) and that he 

is preparing a summary for you related thereto. 

Col Worthman has been furnished a chronology of events 

leading up to this message, therefore, I will not rehash them 

at this time. However, the tone of Col Bumm's message provokes me to explain my position directly to you at this time. 

We have a cleared contact in DCAS, a Col Ben MARSHALL, 

their chief security man. We developed him to help out with 

security problems, i.e. conflicts related to DCAS security 

inspections and our industrial carve outs, personnel security matters etc. He wields considerable influence in DCAS, 

has been most cooperative and we have used him twice within 

the past month to work out problems in support of Col Bumm. 

However, like all security men, he has his limitations. 

The instant problem relates to overtime and travel 

authorization for two DCAS personnel working at AIL and 

traveling to G.E. Corporation. Ben Marshall, like ourselves, 

was gung ho to work on the problem but he ran into a USN 

Capt SCARBOROUGH who is lateral to him as Director of Quality 

Assurance DCAS. He, Scarborough, was impressed with the 

quality of my telephone voice but explained that unprogrammed 

travel and overtime monies come hard - that they so far had 

been getting all their data from a contractor and my telephone call was the first such word received from any U.S. 

Government program office, and that because of some security 

problem Ben Marshall was estopped from explaining to him 

just who I really was. He advised that either he or Gen 

GOSHORN (Chief DCAS) should be filled in on the details. 

On Monday morning I was advised that Gen Goshorn personally 

wanted to be filled in. I'm scheduled to do this in the 

company of Bill Boenning, 0900, Thursday. 

I guess what I object to is the implication that we have 

somehow or another let SAFSP down. The specifics related to 

the support we provide to SAFSP are too voluminous to set 

forth herein. They have no problems that we don't consider

our problems, and they ask for and get much assistance. The 

case in question is, in fact, an SAFSP problem. If we can 

work out the answer from here, then they (if they deserve 

the dignity of being called a Program Office) should have 

been able to work it out from there}or at least have been 

more cooperative in providing the details necessary for us 

to assist them in a timely fashion. Furthermore, LtCol 

Cooksey in making his initial request of uS,was responding 

directly to a contractor stated requirement, which he himself 

did not fully understand and which he hadn't bothered to 

check with his own program people. 

My case rests Sir - I'm still working to unravel this 

matter.
