ENGINE FAILURE RATES FOR LOW POWER FOLLOWING THESE FLIGHTS.  PROFILES
 BECAUSE OF THE DEBILITATING EFFECT SAND AND DUST HAVE ON
THE T-64 AND T-700.  BECAUSE OF THESE FACTS WE PREDICT A HIGH ENGINE 
FAILURE  RATE FOR BOTH HELICOPTERS.  WE SEE NO OPTION BUT TO INCREASE
OUR AUTHORIZED LEVELS OF T-64S AND T-700S FROM 4 OF EACH TYPE TO 6.
UNDERSTAND THE RAMIFICIATION OF THIS REQUEST BUT SEE NO OTHER WAY TO
GUARANTEE SUCCESS OF OUR MISSION.  PLEASE NOTIFY US OF TCNS WHEN 
POSSIBLE.  LT COL GNADER SENDS.
