Approved For Release 2008/03/19: CIA-RDP86-00040R000100020007-6 5 May 1982 MAU-2013 MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, FBIS THROUGH : Chief, Operations Group SUBJECT : Monthly Report -- Austrian Bureau -- April 1982 A. Monitorial/Editorial 1. The bureau fed its signals of a reported "Solidarity" clandestine transmitter to the BBC on 26 and 27 April, per a tipoff from FCS. Unfortunately, we could hear little but hand Morse and plenty of noise. We are now scheduled to try again on 3 and 5 May. 2. With delivery of mail back to normal following the lengthy air baggage handlers' strike at Heathrow, we were able to discontinue our special "airlift" of Soviet newspapers to the PMU, calling on the services of the DHL courier service for the last time on 20 April. In the more than six weeks that we supplied the PMU with our copies of the Soviet central press, we used couriers a total of 25 times at a cost of $531. 3. The bureau once again had an opportunity to report quickly on events here in Vienna as several terrorist acts grabbed the headlines this month. This time it was the French who were the targets, having their embassy as well as the downtown Air France offices damaged by bomb blasts. B. Communications The bureau was informed on 16 April that State still plans to begin its "retrofit" of the embassy's new high-speed circuit on 5 May. If all holds and we're allowed in on this new system, we hope to part ways with the military and dependence on Autodin channels sometime this summer. C. Technical The new summer (daylight saving time) VCVC schedule included changes which reduced the number of recorded and delayed Approved For Release 2008/03/19: CIA-RDP86-00040R000100020007-6 Approved For Release 2008/03/19: CIA-RDP86-00040R000100020007-6 feeds to Caversham. The BBC also agreed to record more short casts on their Lanier recorders with us only providing backup support. All these welcome changes have given our techs the needed free time to look after more of our own maintenance chores. II. VISITS A.
