1. PLAN "I3".
1. Plan "13", -as -I see it, is self-explanatory and is in
reality simply a condensation of the net function in its
present security condition, frith the solo shift being in
removing the accent on physical size, traffic load, and
personnel concentration from the present base to
some t. se site. It has become increasingly obvious
25X1 that as. a base site leaves riuch t b d
e wired,
politically, econornical`y, and in an engineering sense. As 25X1

would ,jrovide a ;odd lw ation both from a health stand . oint
and frur:r a technical radio standpoint. The most apparent dis-
has obvious advantages as follows:
advantage to this location lies in the indefinite status of
roads and lack of. information in general concerning; 'the site,
(c). This location has been our supply base and
basic supply routing; point since the net was established. It
could be trahsferred, other than by order of the
Office
(I1). Efficient (for this area) suo'oly_ aneoss to b-t ,pr
The most serious disRdvantage, from the stand-
:,point of establishing a base site in lies in 25X1
the sand and 'dust storms prevalent in the area, ceasing
tremendous noise levels (sand and dust static). In
addition, 0 is not well sited from an ionospheric
prediction standpoint, although it is roughly equivalent
to Q+ as far as Europe-Washington contacts are
concerned. In a h-'r'sical sense, considering the now con-
struction progrWn is admirably suited for the 25X1
establishment of a major base radio station, inasi inch
as extensive antenna arrangements may be erected-without
causing, undu political unrest and further additional
quonsets may be. sent from Washington as required to
adequately house and service a rna1jor radio station and
11GS personnel.
2. There a?ro a number of reasons why thcL__
(1). . Housing in general economic factors, etc., which are
extremely negative in
(2.). Lack of State cooperation in
other locations in the area.
(3) Inability to maintain an adequate supply line to
from the supply base as. a result of decreasing
military air efficiency and air quotas for our use.
(4), Political instability and proximity to 'idortherrorders.
3. It appears to the writer that all f actors considered,

the logical dace to site the future base station function;
lit; reducing to a secondary, station in a class with the
d ie gent. rac o station-, With the added factor that, due
to soruicing the two military missions ar) the major Embassy, it
is anticipated ~th t three operators will bo rccluired to man the
secondary radio station. In addition, it is su~-osted
that the: present major base station be re: oto, and a
secondary type station set up in a different by sic~:l location
frol.i that ,now, occupied by the presnn base. Under 25X1
Plan 'tB'", there would be no change in cipher procedure or routing.,
except that, of traffic would be routed through another
