IJe GDR personnel for USSR personnel in the Ber l in Air Safety Center, and/or permit GDR authorities to attempt to extend t heir contr ols over offi cial
Allied personnel in the GDR o Inasmuch as neither t he US, UK nor FRA- CE r ecognize the GDR, one or more of these actions will r esul t in a sel f imposed surface blockage of US, UK and FRENCH mi l i tar y t r ansportation only:, and the Berlin Airlift Plan, HQ USAFE OPLAN 102-59, wi l l not be impl emented.
