MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, FBIS
THROUGH: Chief, Operations Group
SUBJECT: Monthly Report--Okinawa Bureau--May 1982
A. The tenth anniversary of Reversion (15 May) passed with
no incidents affecting bureau operations. The Kadena Prefectural
Police had forewarned us, along with Torii Station and Hanza, that
there might be disturbances locally in connection with demonstra-
tions and marches planned island-wide and on the mainland for
Reversion Week. As a precaution we employed local contract guards
for the nights of 8 through 15 May to be present in the compound
and to patrol the perimeter fence line.
B. The bureau was audited from 20 to 27 May. There were
no major problems although some minor recommendations were made.
A. Monitorial/Editorial
1. We undertook full processing of both the 22 May talk
by Yuriy_ Zhukov, chairman of the Soviet Committee for the Defense
of Peace, and the 29 May "Studio 9" program from Moscow television.
This marked the first time since the new Russian monitors came on
board that the bureau has undertaken full processing of these
two programs, the previous SOP being split coverage with LD/BBC.
2. The chief editor and senior edito ad STAT
fruitful talks with Chief/AG, during her visit STAT
to the bureau. Several long-standing questions on coverage
and processing of Chinese material were discussed. Moscow
television coverage also was discussed, with the result that the
bureau now has a much better understanding of what AG requires
dur' y stage of rationalizing television coverage STAT
and 7~has a better understanding of our capabilities
and limitations.

3. Fujian Front PLA Radio changed its broadcast time
and broadcast pattern effective 1 May. No program currently
broadcast appears to merit coverage. We have checked the
program "Lectures on Policy" periodically throughout the month
and early in June and found that the same material is being
repeated day after day. We will continue the spotchecks.
4. We placed Quezon City RPN Television Network in
English 1100-1130 GMT on regular coverage in mid-month; it had
been on experimental coverage since January. Our Vietnamese monitors
are handling the minimal amount of processing required.
5. We took over most of Hong Kong Bureau's coverage on
31 May because of damage to its microwave system caused by a
lightning strike.
6. As a result of increased consumer interest in the
Taiwanese press, we have added six new publications (daily papers
and monthlies) to our subscription list.
B. Special Services
To meet a request from Torii Station, we are now
providing on a once-a-month basis a Chinese voice tape, with
English translation, for training. Torii Station will be
replacing the few tapes involved.
C. Technical
1. The long-awaited pressfax system (the FAX K-661
Recorder, the Kodamatic Processor 17B, and the Rapicom Interface
Unit) arrived undamaged on 21 May and the necessary chemicals
arrived ten days later. The system is in place in the darkroom
and chief engineer has begun testing. One problem
that has developed is that the line rate of the pressfax signal
has changed to 50 Hz since last observed.
STAT
2. The Hellschreiber page printer failed twice in the
last month. Our bureau technicians were able to fix it in both
instances. Nonetheless, it remains near death and we are anxiously
awaiting a "phoenix" that hopefully will emerge soon in the form
of a new unit being developed in Engineering Division.
III. ADMINISTRATION
A. Personnel
