UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE BOARD
SECOM-D-14
25 November 1974
MEMORANDUM FOR: Security Committee Members
SUBJECT . Waiver of Hazardous Activity Restrictions
Overflights of Bulgaria
1. Due to current tensions between Greece and Turkey,
Greece has closed its airspace to flight: originating in Turkey
bound for Western Europe. In order to avoid the restricted area,
Pan American, the only US carrier affected, and other commercial
carriers are diverting routes to overfly Bulgaria. However, no
Bulgarian landing rights have been granted for such flights.
2. As a result. of this situation, persons traveling between
the Mideast and Turkey and Western Europe on commercial carriers,
must transit Bulgaria enroute. The current system of hazardous
activity restrictions prohibits transit of Bulgaria without a waiver
granted by appropriate authority, by persons restricted due to
compartmented intelligence access.
3. To preclude the necessity for reviewing and granting an
inordinate number of such waivers for otherwise unrestricted travel,
the following policy will be in effect for the duration of the above-
mentioned situation:
Waiver of hazardous activity restrictions will not
be required for transit of Bulgaria when performed on
board US carriers or commercial aircraft of a friendly
nation when the flight neither originates nor terminates
in a restricted country and when there are no scheduled
intermediate stops within such restricted areas.
