prior to mission take-off time) furnish to OEL and OSI
a specific track number and mission take-off time.
c. Provide OSI and OEL with any information and/or
assistance which would aid in the completion of their
respective tasks.

2. In support of OSA, the Office of Scientific Intel-
ligence will examine the proposed mission track with respect
to the latest data concerning the hostile air defense envi-
ronment through which the aircraft will fly. Any information
which might warrant a change in route will be communicated to
OSA Intelligence Division by secure telephone or in person.
This type of input is desired as soon as available and in no
case later than 1000 Washington time on the morning following
alert, in order for the change to be transmitted to the field.
A written analysis of the mission route will be furnished OSA
Intelligence Division not later than the "Go-No-Go" briefing
at 1600 hours on the day following mission alert. The proce-
dures above in no way preclude OSI's continuing analysis of
the track up to take-off time and any vital inputs should be
communicated immediately to OSA Intelligence Division.
3. In support of OSA, the Office of ELINT will provide
to OSA Intelligence Division any pertinent information and/or
recommendations which would affect the proposed mission from
the OEL point of view. This report should be delivered to
OSA Intelligence Division no later than 1000 Washington local
time on the day following mission alert. Significant findings
should be telephonically communicated to OSA Intelligence
Division prior to the preparation of the written report.
Negative reports are required.
4. In the event that it is necessary to fly a special
mission, i.e., one that has not been planned previously, more
critical time factors may be involved. In this case, OSA will
provide both OSI and OEL with the proposed mission track as
early as possible and OSI and OEL will perform their analysis
function as expeditiously as possible. In this case any
analytical findings may be communicated to the Chief, OSA
Intelligence Division, telephonically, to be followed with a
written memo.of the analysis as outlined above in Paragraphs
2 and 3..
5. OSI and OEL will furnish OSA Control Center with a
list of personnel to be contacted to perform the above analysis
in event of a Saturday, Sunday or holiday alert.
