§ 211.0   Purpose.

   This part establishes policies and procedures under which government and
   private entities will be furnished restoration priorities to insure that
   leased intercity private line telecommunications services vital to the
   national interest will be maintained during the continuance of a war in
   which  the  United  States  engaged.  It  supersedes  the  Director of
   Telecommunications Management Order of January 15, 1967 ( 32 FR 791 , 47 CFR
   part 201), which is hereby canceled. To assure the effective ability to
   implement its provisions, and also in order that government and industry
   resources may be used effectively under all conditions ranging from national
   emergencies to international crises, including nuclear attack, a single set
   of  rules  and  procedures is essential, and they must be applied on a
   day-to-day basis so that the priorities they establish can be implemented at
   once when the occasion arises. As provided for in part 18 of Executive Order
   11490, as amended (3 CFR, 1966-1970 Comp., p. 820), policies, plans, and
   procedures developed pursuant to the Executive order shall be in consonance
   with the plans and policies contained in this part.
