DCA HAS NO INTEREST OF ACTING OTHER THAN IN ACCORDANCE

WITH ICAO VIEWS SO FAR AS ROUTING OF AMBER ONE IS CONCERNED.

THE SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS WHICH LED TO ISSUE OF NOTAM A269

WERE AGREED WITH BOTH ICAO AND IATA REPRESENTATIVES AT MEETING

HERE ON 18 OCTOBER.

2.

IN VIEW OF ICAO'S REPRESENTATIONS IN TEL UNDER REF, DCA IS

PREPARED TO AMEND NOTAM A269 TO ACCEPT FLIGHT PLANS FROM AIRCRAFT

USING AMBER ONE WHEN DANGER AREAS D1/D2/D3 ARE INOPERATIVE.

GRATEFUL FOR IMMEDIATE CONFIRMATION THAT THIS IS WHAT ICAO ADVISES.

3. WITH REGARD TO THE LAST SENTENCE OF PARA.3 TEL UNDER REF } THERE IS NO QUESTION OF HONG KONG SPONSORING A REALIGNMENT OF

AMBER ONE: THE PRESENT TEMPORARY ROUTEING VIA RED 66/RED 85 IS

PART OF THE EXISTING ROUTE STRUCTURE.

4.

GRATEFUL TO BE KEPT IN TOUCH WITH ICAO PRESIDENT'S THINKING

AND ACTION ON THIS PROBLEM. DCA IS PLACED IN AN IMPOSSIBLE

POSITION IF ICAO PRESIDENT IS THINKING ON TOTALLY DIFFERENT

LINES FROM ICAO REPRESENTATIVE IN BANGKOK.
