MEMORANDUM FOR: Director, National Reconnaissance Office
U-2 Photographic Reconnaissance of the
Paracel Islands
1. The attached memorandum contains a proposal for an
IDEALIST TACKLE mission to obtain oblique coverag.e of the Paracel
Island group. While missions in this area have been flown under
TACKLE approvals in the past, it is felt that due to the significant
change in the Peoples Republic of China,force levels on these islands
since the last mission, specific approval by the 40 Committee-would
be desirable.
2. After your approval by signature on the attached memoran-
dum, copies will be prepared as appropriate for distribution to
members of the 40 Committee.
