The security container was located in the Maintenance Supervisors' Office, within the X-104 Guard Force Headquarters, inside the controlled access area. The office was locked and the keys to the office were under the control of selective managers and Guard Force Management. Personnel having I
access to this office were required to have the appropriate access authorization level for entry or be under the positive escort of a cleared individual. Due to these facts and because the inventory of the container verified all classified material was present and undisturbed it was concluded that there wu no loss or compromise of classified information.
