SUBJECT: (Uncld) Importance of CIRVIS Program
TO:
Commander
Military Air Transport Service
Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland
1. Attached copies of correspondence between this
headquarters and Headquarters, Air Defense Command, are
forwarded for your information and to point up the impor-
tance placed on the CIRVIS program by ADC as an aid in the
early warning of a possible attack on the United States or
its forces.
2. This headquarters agrees with paragraph 3 of the
1st indorsement and takes this opportunity to recommend
continuing emphasis on impressing CIRVIS' importance to
the civilian agencies involved. We recognize that the MATS
effort in indoctrinating the various commercial airlines,
airline pilots, National Business Aircraft Association member
companies and pilots, and others in similar organizations,
has caused them to become active participants in the program.
The present high value placed by ADC on the civilian effort
in CIRVIS attests to the truly excellent job that has been
done by MATS in this field, one of which we are well aware.
It is believed that continuing work with these agencies is
warranted and will pay off by keeping them active in the
CIRVIS program.
