MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, Foreign Broadcast Information Service
THROUGH: Chief, Operations Group, FBIS
SUBJECT: Monthly Report, Okinawa Bureau--February 1983
A. Coordination and field studies continued during the month
on the INTERNET project. We briefed the NSA special. representative,
Okinawa, at the Bureau and the Bureau Chief had several telephone
discussions with USFJ Communications Officer on the matter of
access to INTELSAT through KDD. The Rockwell International
survey team completed a week of field studies on the 26th.
During their week on the island they called on the chief engineer
of the U.S. Army Communications Command, Okinawa, primarily to
review data on frequency usage in the area.
B. The murder of an Okinawa taxi driver at the Marine
Corps installation at Camp Hansen and the subsequent detention
of two U.S.- servicemen led to a number of articles in the local
press expressing outrage at the crime and condemning the presence
of U.S. bases on the island as the, reason for Okinawa's continued
unacceptable-crime rate.
A. Editorial/Monitorial
Okinawa's coverage of USSR television continues to be
productive. In addition to the. regular coverage of "Studio 9"
and the political commentary by Yuriy Zhukov, the Russian Unit
processed the Army-Navy Day address on 23 February by
Marshal Kulikov, First Deputy Minister of Defense and a
"Lenin's University.of the Millions" program on the 24th on
disarmament, featuring Lieutenant General Kiryan, Deputy Chief
of . theMilitary History Institute of the Ministry of Defense.

B. Coverage
The Chinese and Vietnamese units were involved in a
,5-day sampling of. Vatican City Mandarin and. Vietnamese casts,
carried out in.response-to a BBC.-request at the beginning of
the month. North Korea's declaration of a "semi-state of war"
in. reaction to the U.S..-ROK "Team Spirit"-exercise prompted a.
Seoul.Bureau.request for Okinawa's temporary assistance with certain
Korean-language and. North Korean-source coverage.- The bureau. was
able-to take on some KCNA coverage briefly for priority material,
but Japanese-language processing commitments and staffing limita-
tions at the time precluded any Okinawa coverage of Beijing and
Moscow-Korean programs.

C. Cruising
STAT
A. Seoul..Bureau Chinese monitor has. received STAT
his Japanese work.v.isa,..and the two. bureaus are expecting to
.transfer him to.Okinawa in March. Letters offering. employment
are going out in. early March to two Chinese monitor candidates
in Taiwan who were identified during the last. recruiting trip
there. We are also investigating the possibility of hiring a
Japanese monitor under the Master Labor Contract (MLC).
.B. We have queried. Administrative Staff on the question of
.withholding the 1.3% MEDTAX from the salary of our TCN employees.
The matter has apparently. been. referred to the IG Staff.for.a
ruling.
A. The Rockwell International. survey team conducted RF
sweeps from several. locations at the-operations site-of the 4
and 6-gHZ.frequency.bands. In addition, during their stay on
Okinawa they. were able to obtain some additional frequency
coordination information and to determine some site installation
cost factors for planning purposes.
