Officers and enlisted men were confined to barracks during the entire day. All automobiles of these units were kept ready to move upon signal. 20 All Soviet aviation units in Bucharest were likewise placed in a state of alert on this day. 3o A few days later commanding officers and seconds in command of all Rumanian aviation units were called to Air Force headquarters in Bucharest for a conference lasting five days. The reason for this conference was kept secret. The official pretext for the conference was a discussion of tactical exercises. Such a reason is obviously untrue since the commanders of all units would not have been called to Bucharest for five days for such a reason. 25X1 This document is hereby regraded to ,l Al in accordance with the CONFIDENTI letter of 16 October 1978 from th6 Director of Central Intelligence to the Archivist of the United States.
