Mgr. action -- bomb threat epidemic at Hill AFB has brought 41 hoax reports since January 1978, and resulted in an estimated $500,000 loss in unfinished work and unproductive work A hours. The false alarms have been concentrated within the Directorate of Maintenance (MA). Twenty-tw- o bomb reports have come from MA buildings, with 17 of those in Bldg. 225. ; "Every time a bomb threat or false alarm is received in the aircraft repair, hangars, taxpayers fork over some $25,000," said Jerry Russell, president of the Federal Managers Association (FM A) Chapter 79, which has more than 400 members at Hill. "And more than 800 skilled workers have to evacuate their duty stations so explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams can search for hazardous materials. Approximately 30 minutes are lost in evacuation, and another 30 minutes returning to work after the search." Aside from the nuisance such pranks cause for security police , EOD teams, supervisors and workers, phony bomb threats also pose a Everything advertised in the Hill Top Times must be made available for purchase, use or patronage without regard to the race, creed, color, national origin or sex of the purchaser, user or patron. n danger to our war readiness posture. "The hoax reports have reached the point now that the accompanying delays in delivery of operationally ready aircraft to the using commands could adversely affect their war readiness capability," said Ogden Air Logistics Center Commander Maj. Gen. John J. Murphy. "They have got to stop," he said. "We have to come up with a way to help stop the hoax bomb threats by providing a reward to workers who can supply information leading to the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties." Unfortunately, appropriated funds are not available for rewards of this type. With appropriated funding barred, the Hill AFB FMA accepted the challenge and answer to the developed a private-enterpris- e the Bomb Threat Reward problem, forming Corporation. These civilian supervisors and managers it sponsored the organization, and will collect money and make monetary rewards to individuals who can give non-prof- violation or rejection of this policy of equal opportunities by an advertiser will result in the refusal te print advertising from that source. A confirmed information that will help apprehend and convict persons making bomb threat calls. The non-prof- it corporation has been incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah and has been permitted to operate on the base by Hill AFB authorities. Russell said the corporation will use FMA members to obtain funds for this worthwhile cause. A fund raising campaign will be started immediately within the FMA. The corporation will have five board trustees who will be the only voting members. Their decisions will be final and not subject to g review by members or by third non-votin- parties. At least three trustees are needed as a quorum to decide a reward. Their decision will be based on information supplied by the Hul AFB staff judge advocate. "We'll do everything we can to put these criminals and stop this expenditure of taxpayer behind unnecessary bars, money," Russell said.
