SUBJECT:
CIBVIS Program
1.
In accordance with AFR 200-3, Bq KATS, is responsible
for contacting commercial airlines and pilots to indoctrinate
them and secure their participation in the CIRVIS program as
outlined in the JAMAP 146 series.
2.
Intelligence Division, Rq JIATS, has done an out­
standing job in this indoctrination, having contacted coJD.ercial
airlines, the National Business Aircraft Association, and the
pilots in both.
They have secured the cooperation of all
coapanies and associations through writing a multitude of
letters.
They have gone into the field and personally lectured
to regional pilots' meetings and have succeeded in getting a
real interest in CIRVIS aroused for the first tiae. This has
been a treaendous task a.nd has only been accomplished by an'
exceptional effort. However, the only way to keep the interest
at a peak is to keep. eaphasizing the illlportance of the CIRVIS
program to them..
MATS' efforts aust continue.
3. Al'OIK-lA-P, wherein lies the responsibility for 11.oni­
toring the CIRVIS program. for APOIN, and in part for Hq USAF,
has long felt that JIATS should be compliaented in writing on
their fine job, and ~t the same tiae be urged to continue their
prograa. It is felt that any letter of recognition or
comaendation should COJl.e originally from CINCON.AD and an in­
foraal suggestion has been made along these lines.
4.
However, this seeas like a good opportunity for
us to easily and naturally show our awareness of and satisfac­
tion for a job well done.
Hence, the forwarding of the
correspondence from ADC by the letter indicating our apprecia­
tion.· It is felt that we should take this chance to help
the• continue the good work.
