It was agreed that all

frequencies above 30 nmgacycles required for the operation would be
selected by the Task Force CommunicationsOfficer without reference
to the Frequency Allocation Committee. It was further agreed that
Mr. Corley, in conjunctionwith Lieutenant Colonel I)upree,would work
out the remdning frequency assignments for those needed under 30
megacycles. All frequencieswere carefully chosen, both from the
aspect of possible interferencein the operating area and with
reference to ionosphericpredictions. The frequency problem involved
can be appreciated from the fact that Joint Task Force req@reumts
totaled 85 radio channels using 366 frequencies. Of these, the Air
Force requirementswere 32 channels &

104 frequencies. Annex F,

Field Otier #l, Headquarters,Joint Task Force Seven, contains a list
of these channels and frequencies.
