re: Okay So who then does the FAA call when they have an emergency, still prior to 9/10/01.

That is a different issue, beyond the scope of my experience. What was being discussed was, "what was NORAD's mission prior to 9/11?" Monitoring and protection of domestic airspace was not part of their directive at that time.

You have asked a separate question. To paraphrase, "who did the FAA notify when an emergency situation was detected in domestic airspace prior to 9/11". One topic speaks to detection, the other speaks to post-detection action. I do not have the background to comment on the latter vis-a-vis an emergency in domestic airspace.
