TOI Lu H. Flack, Acting CIk of the Bd.
1. This letter is being sent to insure that all involved agencies
fully understand Air Force policy regarding digging, earth moving
and construction activities on the Minuteman Missile Cable right-of-
way.
2. The Minuteman Missile System covers a wide area in the states of
Wyoming, Colorado and Nebraska. Over 2,000 miles of communications
cable link together this system, which is a very important part of the
defense of this country, Consequently, I feel you are as interested
as I am in protecting this vital cable network,
3. I wish to take this opportunity to emphasize the importance of
following the procedures outlined below, since any interference with
the missile cable may affect the launch capability of the missiles
and thereby reduce our national defense capability. I must also be
assured that all parties realize that any intentional interference
with the missile cable is a Federal offense.
14. Under our present contract with the landowners, easement rights
extend over a. 161 foot strip of land comprising the cable right-of-way.
This cable path is clearly marked at all road crossings,
cat-
tle crossings, etc,, by cable poles with two orange bandtrails,
bands around
the
top of each pole. In addition, a pole is
placed three thousand feet. In the event any constr•uctionpofX anytypely
eiss-y
planned within this cable right-of-way area, type is
notice in writing 120 days you are required to give
y prior to commencing such construction.
Notice should be sent to: 90th Communications Squadron, F. F. Warren
AFB, Wyoming 82001/ATTN r Chief of Maintenance,
In mum of at least 36 hours notice, in writing or by calling gi77on a 6 mini-
mum is 775-36b6 or

Air Force to provide cable personnel to oversee the operation and re-
spond to any emergency that might endanger the operation of the cable
system.

pect of our defense mission.
