Gen. John D.W. Corley, commander of Air Combat Command, has convened an accident investigation board to investigate the B-52 Stratofortress mishap off the northwest coast of Guam.

Brig. Gen. Mark A. Barrett, commander of the 1st Fighter Wing here, has been designated as the board president.

The B-52 was deployed to Andersen AFB from Barksdale AFB, La., as part of the Department of Defense's continuous bomber presence mission in the Pacific.

In addition to setting forth factual information concerning the mishap, the board president is required to state in the report his opinion concerning the cause or causes of the accident and describe those factors, if any, that substantially contributed to the accident.

After the report has been approved by General Corley, it will be released to the general public.
