Foreign Clearance s 1 III!II 11111 11111 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 III , 1400050528D 

TO SAFSS (Major Johnson) 

1. The attached message from DET 1, AFSCF, Sunnyvale (Atch 1) 

is forwarded for your review and validation of te st ope rations support 

requirements for Programs llO and 846. 

2. In the above message, DET 1 r equested a waiver to Paragraph 8-3A, 

Chapter 8, AFSCM 60-1 (Atch 2) and foreign clearances for certain 

strategic airfields in the South Pacific so that C-130 type recovery 

aircraft can conduct infrequent operations for malfunctioning re-entry 

vehicles. The request for foreign clearances was forwarded by this 

Headquarters to Headquarters USAF (AFXPDIB) for action (Atch 3). 

3. The AFSCM 60-1 was established in part to provide policy, procedure sand re sponsib i litie s for ope rat ion of AFSC aircraft out side the 

CONUS. In accordance, Headquarters AFSC approval is required for 

oversea flight. Flights not requiring theater clearance must b e 

requested not less than five work - days prior to planned departure. 

For flights to foreign airfie Ids requiring theate r clearan ce, the lead 

time for approval is much longer depending on airfield location. Such 

a procedure as set forth in this Manual needs to be waived for emergency 

type of operations requiring the immediate dispatch of C -130 recovery 

type airc raft. 

4. Should you agree with the above DET 1, test operation support 

requirement, it is reque sted that as sistance be provided to AFXPDIB 

for obtaining the requested foreign clearances and that this Headquarters 

be informed so that the necessary waiver can be obtained for AFSCM 

60-1. Should you disagree, please advise so that an appropriate reply 

can be forwarded to SAMSO.
