Normally in military planning there is a formal structure or format in terms of which a plan is written, but this plan does not comply with any standard military plan structure, it's rather a letter from myself to my direct superior.  That is why I started by outlining the perspective by saying that it was not a written evaluation and it was not a detailed military plan, but it was an idea, and that I wanted to submit this idea to him.  If he found the idea acceptable, then experts had to be appointed to look at all the various aspects of the idea, they had to analyse the plan, evaluate it.  And I said that the plan, due to its political implication, would have to be taken up with people at the highest political level, and by that I meant Minister Malan.
	It also had to be in alignment with the other plans which had been drafted and which had already been carried out.  And then, the plan was not written for the man in the street, it was not written for the person who actually had to carry it out, it was written to enable the person in a position of authority, to give that person a structured idea as to a possible solution for the problems in the Eastern Cape.  That is what I tried to convey by a perspective, it was not a military plan.  And to make it possible to carry it out, those four aspects, (a), (b), (c) and (d) first had to take place.
