GEN VAN DER MERWE
Chairperson, as in the case ofthe other commands which I have mentioned the same would haveapplied here.  That means that all actions of national importance,and which were of such a nature that guidelines were necessaryon a national level, we would have formulated these at Head Officeand then conveyed to the various divisions.  But they in turnwould have had to judge independently how these instructions hadto be carried out.   But you must also bear in mind that thesedivisions were also involved in the joint management system whereinconsultation with the other departments and the information departmentsconsultations were held on how to combat the threats facing theState, and it was also expected that each department would, interms of those decisions, deal with these matters and combat thethreat.
