MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, FBIS
THROUGH: Chief, Operations Group
SUBJECT: Monthly Report--Okinawa Bureau July 1982
The Bureau's air-conditioning system was shut down for repair
by local contractor from 28-31 July, the second such incident in
nine months. Prior to the maintenance several areas of the operations
building, including the monitors' booths, were not being cooled
sufficiently for even minimum working comfort. The inefficiency
of the present system has been recognized for some time--upgrading
was recommended by RECD in 1979--and this fact has been dramatically
brought to light with the onset of true Okinawa summer weather.
Fortunately the repair work took less time than anticipated, thus
shortening the duration of the negative effects of 90-degree
temperatures on both employees and equipment. However, after the
maintenance work was completed it was discovered that the motor
generator sets would not restart automatically after loss of
power without manual intervention. This means that every time the
Bureau switches from mains to generator power or vice versa the
bulk of the Bureau's electrical systems have to be shut down to
restart the motor generator sets. Due to these developments, we
have requested a study and recommendations from a local professional
engineering firm.

2. On Moscow TV coverage, we assumed coverage of the
Friday edition of the 1700 GMT "Vremya" newscast to cover for one
of London Bureau Russian monitor's two days off. There were two
"Studio 9" programs during the month, on 3 and 31 July; a round-
table discussion hosted by Yuriy Zhukov, chairman of the Soviet
Committee for the Defense of Peace, on 16 July; and two panel
discussions on the Soviet food program moderated by political
observer L.A. Voznesenskiy, on 22 and 27 July. Processing of
these latter two programs, each well over an hour in duration,
is still underway.
3. A Japanese Communist Party Congress was held in
Tokyo from 27 to 31 July. Coverage was highlighted by the
22,000-word opening speech by JCP Central Committee Chairman
Kenji Miyamoto and the 30,000-word Central Committee report
delivered by JCP Presidium Chairman Tetsuo Fuwa. Texts of both
items are being processed from AKAHATA.
4. We completed our cruising survey of Taiwan radio
broadcasts to the Chinese mainland as well as our experimental
coverage of new Jiangsu and Fuzhou provincial services broadcast
to Taiwan. No new programs were added to regular coverage.
Chinese Monitor while on leave in Taiwan, placed STAT
subscriptions for three Taiwanese periodicals--THE EIGHTIES and
THE STATESMAN, both monthlies, and the weekly ECONOMIC NEWS. We
are also placing a subscription for the monthly LIEN HO YUEH KAN.
4 5. A study of the pressfax operation was conducted from
5-15 July and the results forwarded to Headquarters. The study
considered factors such as titles transmitted, order of transmission
of papers, times of transmission, as well as time and motion
involved in recording and processing the product.
