in the atmospheric area in accordance with CINCNORAD's Terms of Reference I have forwarded the NORAD concept plan for A1vACS in 'North American defense to both Admiral Falls and General Jones for approval As I mentioned in my last letter the major change in the current concept is a shift away from continuous collocation at occs a concept which upon d tailed examination made little tactical or strategic sense to one of maintaining a minimum number of these conu11and and control elements in a day-to-day survivable posture -- either airborne for whatever 4 NW# 35459Appeal Num MDR17-001 Doc Id 314 31128- ' -· -
