workers performing the tasks. Two craftsmen will be inside Room 216
and the other two will on the exterior of the building. Criminal

start of work. Only workers yielding negative results to these will
be allowed to work. As work will take place within CAA, the
contractors performing the work will be under continuous escorts and
surveillance by appropriately cleared American employees. Two
Cleared American Escorts (CAE) will monitor the four workers to
maintain the proper escort ratio. Tools and non-electrical
materials brought in by the contractors will be inspected by ESO
before entering the work area.

be taken to and maintained in the ESO secure storage, maintained
under surveillance and U.S. control.

inconsistencies or security related issues such a time as remedial
actions are taken to resolve the problem.

and through the RSO (SSM),will maintain a log, which identifies

workers, materials, detail of work, and any anomalies. The RSO
(SSM) will immediately report any deviation from the CSP plan to
DS/PSP/PSD/CAT and OBO/PE/SM. The log will be verified daily by the
RSO (SSM) and become part of the permanent project documentation to
support any additional technical inspections.
