Can't answer the question regarding appropriate time frame as we would
never agree to a contract that requires approval of publications or
presentations.  Prior review, yes, approval no.  I would recommend that
you try to negotiate the approval clause.

Is there may be some specific clause in the agreement between Defense
and the private company requiring this approval for publications?
Without such evidence, we would not agree to such terms.  Can't say we
would with such evidence, I might add.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Time limit on publications

I am in the process of negotiating a contract with a private company,
and the money is flowdown from the Army.  They are requesting prior
approval of publications and the contract states that they will provide
a response with 5 business days.

In general the clause is open-ended and provides no expiration date.  At
some point, there should be no limitations on the publications from the
work done on this project.  The company has asked that I provide them
with time frame.

Any one ever encounter this before * any ideas on what is  reasonable?
Thanks in advance.
