NEW ZEALAD/UITED TATES CRAGEEME HA AMEICA NAVALOFFICE WACIG OVE YELOAD ELLIGO.

A document recently put into the hands f'PEACE RESEARCHER reveals that the United

States Nav has curentl posted at two of our majorports officers whose responsibilit it is to assessavalable facilities for use in wartime. Te document,published b the S aval Control of ShippingOrganisation and entitled Annual Inspection of PortLevel Elements of the US Paciic Fleet sas thatReptofs or reporting ofcers are statoned (presumabl at the Operation Deep Freeze base) to look overLttelton and (at the S Embass) to look overWellington The document includes an annual inspection checklist which reers to wartime expansionplans

And according to the ew Zealand Ministr of

Defene in a letter to 'PEACE RESEARCHERdated Ma 2 the Naval Control of Shipping Organisation for the Pacc Ocean was established in 95under the secret Radfrd-Collins Agreement anextremel sensitve allied arrangement involving allthree ANZUS partners The New Zealand Ministr ofDefence has said it regards the functions of theRadfordollins Agreement as secret and, whnquestioned b PEACE RESEARCHER has invokedSection 6 a b of the Ofcia nformatin Act toprevent public disclosre However, inormationrelating to the significance of the maritime surveillance arrangement has tricked in via mainlAustralian sources The most alarming aspect is thatunder the arrangement New Zealand is under ertainconditions expected to secure New Zealds ke airand naval support facilities d their approachesagainst the contingenc of United States or allieduse (For further information refer to issues 5 7and 9 of PEACE RESEARCHER)

PEACE RESEARCHER has written to the NavalAttache at the United States Embass seeking hiscomments on the above but at the time of writingthis article no repl has been forthcoming PEACERESEARCHER is seeking further explanations about

the po stings from the New Zealand Ministr ofDefenceMeanwhile PEACE RESEARCHER has been

assembling information on the Naval Control ofShipping Organisation A US Naval Control ofShipping Manual for 98 provides some disturbing in sights into t he allied (read New Zealand)participation The document sas "worldwide navalcontrol of shipping should be exercised as requiredthrough agreements wit allied Governments b theAllied Hi Cmmnd wever the dcumentcQntinues, (t)here can be no dividing lines betweenthe allied and US aspcts of the Nval Control of

Shipping Organisa on particularl in the lowerechelons since the same organisations serve bothfunctions and use the same reporting sstems Amap of the world in the manual setting down USOperational Control Authorit Areas places ewZealand under the control of the Commander of te

in this area of the Pacific ar inextricabl enmeshedand the United States naval authoties expect toperate here should United States interests (such athe Deep Freee facit) be put under threat

Elsewhere the document under the headingLocal Port Facilities the duties of the US NavalOfficers are set down in detail leaving little doubt asto their intentions in the event of a crisis The document sas (t)he wartime mission of the NCSO(Naval Control of Shipping Ofcer) requires thorou knowledge of th local port(s) and porfacilities in his assigned area of responsibilit AnNCS Offcer that is well acquainted with the available port facilities will be in the best position toexpand and assume its watime mission witminimum dela Further the Annual Inspectiondocument refers to potential dispersal anchorges,

plans fr te control of shing vessels and smallcra as well as the availabilit of secure communications facilities

While the ew Zealand Ministr of Defence isadamant that no more information wll be dsclose

about the RadfordCollins Arrangements UniteStates Nava Authorities are likewise as insistent thatpertinent documents will not be released PEACERESEARCHER requested the US Department ofthe Nav to release manuals referred to in theAnnual nspections document which specicallmentioned New Zealand and wi presumablestablished methods to be used within the NewZealand area However, the US Department of theNa has replied that these manuals will remainclassiied

And conrming United States Naval interest indata on New Zealand port facilities (as well as theNew Zealand authorities readiness to compl) is recentl released list of intelligence mateial suppliedb the New Zealand intelligence services to theirAmerican counterparts The list includes particularsof failities at 26 ew Zealand ports including aeilphotographs particulars of petroleum nstallationsrailwa bridgesand transportation sstems

and funded by Navy on a reimbursable basis. " Thel

two aircraft ar LC-130F Bureau Numbers 148319and 148320

The NSF thus filled out its Hercules fleet at thebargain cost of zero dollars We ask you, why would

Ithe Nay gie two multiillion dollar aircraft to theNSF? We bel eve the answer is that the Nay gaenothing away except some pieces of titlepaper Our Isuspicion that the title changes were for cosmeticpurposes to demilitarize the Hercules is borne out iby the documents we hae descibed

Topovide n independent checkon the purchaseprcesof Herculs in the 1705we haewritten to theNZ Department ofDefence about C130purchases forthe RNZ Air Force

As a final illip to this edition of the continuing Hercules saga we note some confused testimony by aDr Owen before a US cngressional committee in197 Dr Owen apparentl speakingonbehalf of the

Department of Defense said As you know MrChairman NSF has asu med responsibility for

funding the logistics element as well asscience in theUS Antarctic program Exluded are aircraft replace

ent5 which he Department of Defen5e willcotinue cary n t bd " h dumnsay civilian (NSF) allocations provide the aircraft; theexpert witness says the military budget does it But in the gigantic Washington Budgetary laundromat it doesn't seem to matter much what the public laws say about who gets what funds What couns is whocontrols the hardware that gets boughtIn the case of the skiHercules the Nay is in control not the
