ACTION REQUIRED
To inform ZA of current status with regard to USAF FTD/SRI GF funds.
MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD.
( Describe briefly the requirement, background and action taken or recommended. Must be sufficiently detailed to identify
the action without recourse to other sources. )
1. (S)
BACKGROUND. On 27 Jan 81 USAF ACSI action officer informed MAJ Hay that the
50K FY 80 funds ZA authorized for GF through USAF FTD contract would be returned to
Army. This decision was made by a Colonel Cade of USAF ACSI.
COL Cade's decision
was made based on his interpretation of USAF Chief of Staff decision to "stop all
USAF activity regarding Project GF."
2.
(S) DISCUSSION:
Two attempts by MAJ Hay to have the USAF ACSI action officer
have COL Cade's decision reversed have failed. MAJ Hay asked Dr. Verona of DIA to
contact MG Marks and LTG Tighe in an attempt to have the 50K at FTD moved to SRI as
USAF had agreed to do on 18 Sep 80. MG Marks is out of the DC area and will not be
available until Friday, 30 Jan 81. Dr. Verona discussed the matter today with LTG
Tighe, and suggested that he (LTG Tighe) contact MG Marks or General Allen (USAF
Chief of Staff) to get the money moving to SRI. LTG Tighe informed that it would be
better for ZA to contact MG Marks or if that failed to have General Meyer contact
General Allen about the situation. Dr. Verona suggested that MAJ Hay contact the SJA
to determine if USAF might have legal commitments to SRI to forward the money as there
may have been verbal agreements between USAF FTD and SRI with regard to the Army 50K.
MAJ Hay will examine this issue, however feels the real issue is that USAF made a
moral agreement , officer to officer, to accept the 50K Army funds on 18 Sep 80 with the
agreed intent of both parties to forward the money to SRI for Army GF projects.
3.
(s)
IMPACT :
If USAF returns the SOK FY 80 funds to Army ACSI, Army will lose the
money because there is no other contract with SRI that Army or DIA can use to send the
money through.
4. (S)
RECOMMENDATION :
ZA contact MG Marks Friday AM 30 Jan 81 for assistance.
If
this attempt fails, ZA should contact General Meyer and request General Meyer contact
General Allen to resolve the problem.
