From there, over "hot line" red telephones, the alert would be relayed to SAC headquarters in Omaha and the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington for immediate consultation with President Eisenhower, whose decision to give SAC's bombers the "go ahead" could be made and dispatched within five min utes from the time the warning came from the DEW line...
