Documents regarding the "Chain of Command" necessary to exercise "Standard Operating Procedure 303", also known as the "National Emergency Wireless Kill-Switch". Names of individuals within the current chain-of-command to exercise SOP-303 are not requested, nor necessary. Please only provide the roles/titles and position in chain-of-command to exercise the SOP-303 National Emergency Wireless Kill-Switch capability. In defense of a possible Glomar retort, please recognize that the GSF Explorer, formerly
USNS Hughes Glomar Explorer (T-AG-193), for which the Glomar response is so named, was a purely military operation, using custom-built military equipment, on an exceptionally sensitive military mission to recover military equipment. Observe that the chain of command for a national emergency capability is both domestic in nature and of great public interest - the controls around which, conveyed by chain-of-command, in the public interest without exposure of sensitive information or operational detail. Thank you!
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM, DVD-R, or BD-R if not.
