Special Access Document Control at Northrop's Advanced Systems Division Gao ID: NSIAD-87-79 June 23, 1987

In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed Department of Defense (DOD) actions to ensure that the classified document control system for the Advanced Technology Bomber, a special-access program, properly accounts for and protects classified documents.

GAO found that: (1) the contractor's document control system provides accurate status information on its accountable classified documents; (2) the contractor and DOD periodically audit and inspect the document control system; and (3) although the contractor's document control system complies with DOD security requirements, the contractor needs to improve its investigation of missing items and destruction of unaccountable classified waste.
