PART 237a_PUBLIC AFFAIRS LIAISON WITH INDUSTRY--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 237a.3  Objective and policy.

    (a) It is important that American industry--particularly defense 
contractors--understand the plans, programs, and activities of the DoD. 
Such understanding can be achieved by (1) wide dissemination of 
information to the business community, consistent with national 
security, and (2) cooperation with industry in public relations 
activities which are not contrary to the national or DoD interests.
    (b) As outlined in part 237 of this subchapter, DoD components shall 
cooperate with industry at local and regional levels. However, they will 
notify the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs) (ASD(PA)) 
promptly of any local or regional activity which has the potential of 
being escalated, or which has been escalated by unforeseen 
circumstances, to national or international interest.
