LOGNOTE ................... PANAMA BUREAU ............... 30 June 1986
USAISC VISIT -- and I met this mornin
with
We rehashed very briefly the long history of the Mux Plan and our
efforts to be included -- an obviously sore subject that no one
felt comfortable with. Colonel Abney is most unhappy with what
he calls a "high tech solution to a low tech problem." He said
the Mux still is not operating as it should. We were reminded by
both gentlemen at every opportunity that it was costing $50K a
month to keep the PAR open and FBIS is about the only circuit still
using it. The Colonel noted, however, that they would not pull
the plug on us. (There actually are two other circuits in addition
to ours, but apparently they could be cut off tomorrow without a
problem.)
We reiterated that we wanted out of PAR also and were working
toward that end. Neither Abney nor Stumvoll seemed very familiar
with our efforts to reroute our primary commo link via the Embassy.
Apparently a letter to USAISC advising them of our need for
facilities for a microwave relay on Ancon Hill never got sent.
They also claimed not to have received traffic regarding the
rehome of our Mode V circuit. They did not know it was targeted
for 7 July.
