SUBJECT: Review of Alternative Communications, Navigation,
:Missile and Space Tracking and Data Acquisition
Facilities.
The Secretary of State in cooperation with the heads of `other
responsible departments and agencies of the Government is ?requested
to review the continuing need for U. S. overseas land-based facilities
that are now located in politically unstable or unreliable areas and'
which are utilized for communications, navigation, missile and
space tracking, and data acquisition.
Each responsible operatinc; agency will analyze the continuing
need for its facilities now located in politically unstable or unreliable
areas as identified by the Secretary of State and develop:pians to meet
the contingency that such facilities may become unavailable for
further U. S. use.
The review should address itself to the question whether the
existing and planned requirements of these programs would be best
served by development of possible alternative means (such as
relocation of facilities,- use of mobile or floating platforms,
communication satellites, etc. ). Political, technical and budgetarSr
aspects of the question should be covered.'
