The establishment of the facility had been requested by the Department of Defense and concurred in by the Department of State. After lengthy negotiations, Pakistan and the United States reached an agreement for the establishment of the communications unit on July 18, 1959; for text of the agreement, which was signed in Karachi by Ambassador Langley and Foreign Minister Manzur Qadir, see 10 UST 1366.
