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

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

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.
