5X1 1? CONSIDERABLE S/I IMAGERY IS ACQUIRED IN EXCESS OF THE AREAS
OF PRIMARY INTELLIGENCE INTEREST. CURRENTLY NPIC IS REDUCING DATA
COLLECTION PROGRAMS. TOTAL NUMBER OF FRAMES CAN RUN AS HIGH AS
6,500 EXPOSURES PER MISSION, DEPENDING UPON THE COLLECTION SYSTEM.
THE REDUCTION OF ATTITUDE INFORMATION FROM THE INCREASE IN THE AC-
QUISITION OF SI IMAGERY HAS BECOME A TIME-CONSUMING AND COSTLY
EFFORT FOR NPIC.

THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES: (1) PRODUCE ATTITUDE DATA FOR PHOTOGRAPHY
COVERING AREAS OF PRIMARY INTELLIGENCE INTEREST (SINO-SOVIET BLOC) ;
(2) IF TIME PERMITS, PROVIDE ATTITUDE DATA ON OTHER IMAGERY AS
REQUESTED; OR, IF TIME DOES NOT PERMIT, LOAN SECTIONS OF THE STELLAR
ORIGINAL NEGATIVES TO AUTHORIZED GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS AS
NECESSARY.
3. REQUEST, (1) STATEMENT OF DIA NEEDS FOR ATTITUDE DERIVED
FROM STELLAR IMAGERY, INCLUDING AREAS OF INTEREST AND TIME FRAME
IN WHICH REQUIRED AND (2) COMMENTS ON THE ABOVE PROCEDURE BY COB
