1. This memorandum contains a recommendation submitted for
approval. Such recommendation is contained in paragraph 5 below.
2. In accordance with a recent conversation between the Assistant
Deputy Director (Support) and the undersigned, transmitted herewith is
a draft of the instruction setting forth the basis upon which this
Office plans to implement the procedure.
3. This Office has attempted to develop in the attached draft a
Logistics Instruction which is premised on the rather fluid considera-
tions outlined below and, at the same time, provides definitive
guidance to Office of Logistics elements:
a. The effectiveness of the special indicator will depend
upon consistent rapport between this office and DD/P components
concerned in the initial approach as well as any subsequent stages
of development in its use.
b. Resolution of many substantive and procedural implications
related to its use will be realized only on a gradual and mutual
basis as a result of actual experience with its use.
c. Any type of logistical action which may reasonably be
considered a matter will, irrespective of the degree of
technicality, a subject at one time or another to operational
action based on abnormal circumstances.
4. Paragraph 4 of the Logistics Instruction proposes that the
Director of Logistics, Deputy Director of Logistics, and Assistant
Director of Logistics be designated as authorized releasing officers.
