LOGNOTE -- Chief, Operations Group, 9 May 1983
1.1 D/FBIS called to say that the INTERNET application, which
has been stalled at State Department, has been turned over to State's
General Counsel. The issue to be resolved is the one of diplomatic
reciprocity, in other words, whether we can be freed from local fees
and communications charges by placing INTERNET on Embassy property.
State feels that we cannot argue that INTERNET will carry Embassy
traffic and does not feel that we will be successful on the diplomatic
reciprocity if we insist that the application go forward in that
form. D/FBIS will tell State that we should not get hung up on this
issue, as the major alternative is one of costs at the INTERNET sites.
State may ask that the application be rewritten to exclude the
diplomatic reciprocity request or may return it to CCMSAT noting that
that condition cannot be approved.
