1. (U) There are a number of things going on re SUN STREAK that I
wanted to summarize for your information and to ask for your advice
and assistance.
2. (S/NF) Ted. I don't know how much Lew has told you, but there's
a long audit-trail that got us where we are. In brief:
a. (S/NF) After the December 1989 MIB decision, the DR and DCSI
agreed to what was being transferred and what procedures were to be
followed (ref a. and b.).
b. (S/NF) You'll notice that ref a. says DIA retains "oversight"
responsibilities. This has surfaced in conjunction with the DCSI
project officer wanting TDY funds (refs c. and d. apply). Our position
has been that we should not release any TDY funds carte blanche in
light of our continuing oversight responsibilities, our retention
of the resources, and our normal good and proper management procedures.
We'll release funds when the purpose is identified in writing, meets
the objectives of the DR and DCSI agreements, and fulfills our Agency
requirements for (after the fact) accounting of expenditures.
c. (U) Ted. We understand DCSI approached you to MIPR some $30K
of DIA funds. Please do not do that or give any money from OC or
DT accounts unless we OK it in writing -- unless Bill advises to the
contrary (see para 3 below).

3. (U) Bill. We developed the procedures briefly outlined above
to fulfill DIA's obligations as we understand them (and I'll be the
first to admit not everything is crystal clear in this matter, as
you know). From your perspective, are we doing the right thing or
should we change our thinking/procedures? Because we want an excellent
audit trail of our involvement -- as is our practice -- please give us
your advise/instructions in writing as your schedule permits (obviously,
the sooner the better so we can nail down these loose ends).
4. (U) Please note that, per ref e., there'll be a status review
of this project at next month's MIB.
