 JUSTIFICATION FOR COVERAGE OF COMOR TARGETS BY MISSION C176C
Monthly coverage of priority targets in South China, as well as weekly
coverage of one-fourth of the priority targets, was directed by the United
States Intelligence Board(l). The targets for South China are shown on the
map, page four. The latter has been provided by COMOR(2). Periodic coverage
of the priority targets should provide the Intelligence Community with
sufficient information concerning the Order of Battle in South China, from
which the Intelligence Community could make a more accurate estimate of the
ChiCom posture and intentions relative to the Vietnam situation.
