.7e havé only one minor
reservation as rcL.ards your proposals,
namely in the matter of Practice Alerts.
It is our view that it
would be bad security and also seriously reduce
tests if tue handling of practice Alerts traffic the value of such
by signal
personnel was subject to different
:tu f x'Ofl those for
Operational Alerts mecca e.
Accordinj,ly
would x'eour(1 the
tierce separate uses to which channels are
put, in order of
precedence as:-

n

a._'.';'

(a)

Tripartite Alerts traffic (i.c, both operational
and practice) ,

(b)

The irime L;inister to l'rc;,ident link.

(c)

All other traffic handled uccorúi..

to precedence.

Subject to the forcé oing resevvatlon :., the
Combined Communications
Committee has endorsed the propoced az'ranrc.uents.
You will apj reciate that as recurdo 'ordinary'
traffic
your d. - the nominated traffic man in
London will have no
alternative but ciuickly to consult .the duty cigïial
officers at
the other U.1;..Communication Centres
concerned
because
co ;nc of
our channels carry "on -line" encrypted
traffic.
On
theÛc
channels the precedences boira; handled at any, time
are known
only to the two terminal officers concerned.
