. DESCRIPTION OF HOW VOLATION OCCURRED: Both individuals were interviewed in their offices on

16 July 1969. Mr. Hunt stated that he left his office between 5:40 and 5:45, telling

Miss Achey]that he was leaving for the day. He did not tell her that his safe was open.

He assumed, he said, that one of the girls would check his office. He also stated that

he himself usually closes and locks the safe unless there was something in his out box.

(Note: A review of the safe check sheet for the latter part of May and early June,

until Mr. Hunt went on leave, indicates that he signed off every day). Miss Achey]

stated that Mr. Hunt did say he was leaving, that he did not mention the open safe and

that he usually secured the safe himself. She also stated that she had glanced into

his office on the 15th but had not noticed nor checked for the open safe. She left

the office at 6:08 P.M. There is no second check system in use in this complex.

In view of the circumstances, both are charged with this violation.

4. SECURITY HISTORY OF PERSONIS) RESPONSIBLE:Mr. Hunt has been employed by the Agency since

October 1948. A review of his record indicates that he has been charged with an

Open Safe security violation which occurred on 3 September 1968.

Miss Achey/has been employed by the Agency since November 1962. A review of

her record indicates that she has not been previously charged with a security

violation.
