on Priorities
1. Urals and KAPUSTIN YAR, (References

ng range bomber count and production targets. (References
19 August 1957, attached as Tab BO) It is noted that UKRAINA
accessible readily from Base C. Whereas ideally the greatest benefit
would derive from the coverage of all fifteen airfields simultaneously,
simultaneous coverage of the first three targets and as far down the list
as possible will result in a real increment to our ability to make a BISON,*
BEAR count.
3. A return to KZYL ORDA to achieve objectives incompleted
for reason of camera malfunction or cloud cover is recommended if
feasible, but we do not consider such coverage to rank in importance
with pioneer coverage indicated in paragraphs 1 and 2 above,
am ago
4. Coverage of China is recommended if operationally feasible
but ranks lower than all the foregoing. (It is noted that UKRAINA is a
high priority target in connection with the bomber problem and would
likely have to be covered from Base C.)
5. While a return to YALDAYs MOZHAYSK, and KLYUCHI is
considered very important, missions having these as their principal or
corollary objectives would rank lower than pioneer coverage indicated-
in paragraphs I and 2 but higher than paragraphs 3 and 4 on a require.
meats basis and not taking into account operational readiness and the
easibilitv l with regard to current but shortolived staging ability out of
