Even though the legislative charter does not fully indi- cate the institute's mission and authorities, AFIP may enter into proposed contract in accordance with DOD Directive 5154. 24 which delegates basic authorities and responsibilities of AFIP from the Secretary of Defense to the Institute. See 10 U.S.C. § 176(d) (1976). The Director of th rmed Forces Institute of (AFIP has requested our decision concerning the legal authority orthe - tateto~..contract directly with Universities .ssociated for Research and Education in Pathology, Inc. (UAREP) for services related to the publication of the Atlas of Tumor Pathology (Atlas). The question arises since the 1976 legislation which expressly recognized the AFIP as a joint agency of the military departments, does not expressly authorize this kind of contract. Pub. L. No. 94-361, 90 Stat. 933, July 14, 1976, 10 U.S.C. 5 176 (1976). We conclude, for reasons given below, that the proposed contract is within the authority of AFIP. The AFIP wishes to enter into a contract with UAREP as a continu- ation of the long established grant relationship under which AFIP supported the development and preparation of the Atlas. The Atlas project had evolved to a point where UAREP concluded that th con- tinued production of the Atlas could be self-supporting. In negotiations resulting from UAREP's proposal to this effect, AFIP sought to main- tain quality and professional control over the Atlas as well as insuring that the Atlas would be available at no cost to Federal facilities and at low cost to others. Accordingly, AFIP proposes to enter into the follow- ing agreement with UAREP: a. AFIP, in accordance with applicable law and regulation, will enter into a contract with UAREP for the production and manuscripts of the Atlas in type- setter copy or photo-ready copy. i .
