In this study of the development of the Department
of Defense (DOD) policy on Air Installations Compatible
Use Zones (AICUZ) and the Department of the Navy·s
implementation of it, there will appear a number of gaps
in what is otherwise intended to be a logical and sequential
analysis. These gaps are the result of the unavailability
and/or inaccessibility of certain data due to a number of
reasons. Certain information was classified for security
reasons and, as such, could not be included in this
analysis. A more frequent reason for the gaps was that
some information was available only from people who had
since either left their former employment for other
positions, or had retired and could not be reached for
interviews. In addition to the above causes, it should be
noted that some data escapes the eye of even the most
diligent researcher. Nevertheless, these gaps have been
kept to a minimum and it is considered that they do not
severely effect this study in an adverse way.
