The fallacy of depending on marginal or obsolescent equipment to accomplish sensitive tasks of high priority. we here refer to 17-year C- craft,d. A realization that a ratio exists between the number of people unde avare of a given undertaking in rolation to the obstacles encountered in success- fully accomp.isning trat undertaking.6. A few words of elaboration are in order on the four prancasing points. Because the initial endeavor at black evacuation by Klintlih aircraft aborted, we were given an opportunity to see with great clarity the application of these points. If the attempt to evacuate by Alghk-assigned aircraft had been successful, then knowledge of the defection could nave been held to approximately als staff and assigned military personnel. Because that endeavor was unsuccessful, at least nine additimal staff and axlitary personnel.. bocamo-generally or specifically aware of the aatter, plus the Consul General and one of his senior officers. Additionally one private United States citizen, the senior Pan American official in Frankfurt, became very much aware of this sensitive case. This increase in the number of individuale come about because of an immediate noed late in the evening of Saturday, 16 December, to vee two to scatters to assist in the safenousing function, a total of six AUTOPAZ staffers (documentation, graphics, photographie) to prepare and leave frawulent and alles passpurta, and an assigned enlisted man to act as a safehouse guard. The Consulate Jeneral and to affix visas to the fraudulent passports. The most erucial individual involved, however, was the Pan American official wro toà certain degree put his position in Jeopardy by being as cooperative on the actter va he was without previously having clearod and briefed this official. (the counter- part in Tha is also so cleared and briefed) the sole undertaking would have been precluded. It would have been impossible to accomplish departure without documente- tion on a commercial aircraft without the connivance of the commercial airline Involved. Indeed with auan cunnivance it was difficult and risky enough. Finally, the point concerning chaolcscent equipment speaks for itself. licadquarters is fully aware of the feelings of this Station concerning the inadequacy for our purposes of assigned aircraft. Suffice it to say that when defectors apparently of signifi- cant value refuse te ride such aircraft atter merita thorough study.7. The atter of "areas of stwiy" appears to us to encompass at least the fellering:a. Average tise differences in transmitting high prec dance electrical gommieations between and son representative groupitato The German Station is extremely fortunate in naving Kh-20 circuite ita coad- quartere. It affords us a facility for instantaneous communication. se oan make certain rough estisates as to how long it might take appropriate Head- quarters officiala to answer our queries and we can then approxlants the arrival time of answers to high precedence traffic. Oliver Statiune, however, do not have KW-26 equipment, all do not have the same type of cryptological equipment, and there is a different pattern as to the type of circuitry, 1.0.. direat leased lines, tux, straight somercial servics, etc. Va believe there le merit in the appropriate Headquarters unit endeavoring to group geograph- Joally Statione and then based on the type of communications and cryptologioni equipment and the channel of transmission to come up with predictions au to the average length of time the transmission of a priority or operational iamediato cable would take between and among the various representative groupinga. In the case under study, witch represented a rather fast-breaking eltuation, it was not possible for us to velimete the fencin of time it took to transmit an operatical insediate cable between Stofinora and Frankfurt.
