SECRET -2- The JCS Memorandum also indicates that the current and projected regular MAP's for Korea at levels of approximately $160 million per year cannot cover both the new requirements and necessary operations and maintenance costs. In fact, Operation and Maintenance costs account for $130 million of the $164 million requested for the regular FY 1970 MAP. Your decision of June 4, 1969, deferred further action on the supplemental request for $108.1 million pending the completion of the Interdepartmental Planning-Programming- Budgeting Study on Korea (NSSM 27). As a result of further consultations, renewed strong recommendations from the field, and the likelihood that the NSSM 27 may not be ready for consideration for some time yet, I have agreed on recommending to you a modified package. It eliminates from the original $108.1 million proposal force modernization items (except F-5 aircraft discussed below) and retains those items required primarily for counter-infiltra- tion and counter-guerrilla operations. (Some items of course can also support conventional operations.) The contents of the $88 million proposal (and deletions from the original $108.1 million) are as follows: Costs Airbase Hardening. Includes aircraft revetments, hard stands, taxiways, base recovery equipment, and security fencing and lighting. No deletion. $11.0 M Airbase Improvement. Includes mobile facilities, dispersal strips, expanded security facilities and command post communications equipment. No deletion. 5.9 M SECRET
