        CHAPTER I--OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (CONTINUED)
 
PART 253_ASSIGNMENT OF AMERICAN NATIONAL RED CROSS AND UNITED SERVICE 
 
Sec. 253.6  Procedures.

    (a) Employees who are U.S. citizens shall have been the subject of a 
national agency check (NAC), completed with favorable results, before 
being nominated for assignment with the Military Services overseas.
    (b) Employees who are not U.S. citizens shall have been the subject 
of a background investigation (BI), completed with favorable results,

overseas or continued in such an assignment when it has been determined 
that assignment or continuation of assignment is not clearly consistent 
with the national interest.
    (d) Completed security forms (DD Form 398, Personnel Security 
Questionnaire (BI/SBI), or 398-2, Personnel Security Questionnaire 
(National Agency Check)) shall be forwarded to the Defense Industrial 
Security Clearance Office (DISCO), Defense Investigative Service, for 
initiation of the NAC or BI, as appropriate.
    (e) Upon completion of the appropriate investigation, the results 
shall be returned to the DISCO where a determination shall be made 
concerning security acceptability of the employee. If the determination 
is favorable, the DISCO shall provide a statement to that effect to the 
Red Cross or the USO. If the DISCO is unable to make a favorable 
security acceptability determination, the procedures described in 
paragraph (f)(3), of this section, shall apply.
    (f) Whenever any DoD Component or the Red Cross or the USO receives 
information indicating that an employee's assignment or continuation of 
assignment with the Military Services overseas may not clearly be 
consistent with the national interest, the information shall be 
furnished to the DISCO for appropriate review. In such cases, the 
following actions shall be taken:
    (1) The DISCO shall arrange for the conduct of any investigation 
warranted to resolve the adverse or questionable information.
    (2) In cases arising after the initial security acceptability 
determination has been made, the DISCO shall review the information or 
report of investigation to determine whether the security acceptability 
determination is to continue in effect. If such adjudication is 
favorable, no further action is required. The Red Cross or the USO will 
not be notified in such cases in order to preclude the possibility of 
any adverse inference being drawn.
    (3) If, after reviewing the information or report of investigation, 
the DISCO is unable to make a favorable security acceptability 
determination, the case shall be referred for further processing in 
accordance with part 155 of this title.
