By endorsement of the letter, the PRC will notify the CO of receipt of all badges or of any discrepancies. (4) Added: Denial of Access of Contractor Employees. The Government reserves the right to deny access of contractor employee(s) for substantiated misconduct (has the potential to jeopardize the mission, put themselves or others at risk, etc.) or security reasons.
