a. Foreign Service Inspections of CCS has done a
fine job of pulling together BD 7831 giving current instructions on how to
handle Station/Base participation in periodic inspections,
This will fill the void left by the instruction in an earlier BD, No. 4055 of
15 November 1963 which ended with the note "This dispatch should be
retained by you until the next inspection of your post by
inspectors after which it should be destroyed. "
b. _M is use of Pneumatic Tube System You should have received a
memo dated 19 March 1971 from on this subject. Have you
thought it useful to tape the cautions in paragraph 2, a through f, inside
the door of your tube stations?
c. Laminated Parking Permits With summer coming on it might

a laminated parking permit lying on the top of the dash board charred and
could have caught on fire from the intense heat generated through the wind-

is parked so that the afternoon sun's rays are not directly on the permit.

ment problems, This seems to us to highlight the absolute insecurity of
black lines, If someone attempting to listen to our black line conversations

simply kept dialing numbers it is possible they could overhear arty
conversation~we might be having, especially internally. It is impossible
for an outsider to inadvertently dial into a red line so please watch care-
