Phis report presents the results of a search
for ICBM activity along rail lines in the USSR on
KEYHOLE photography from
Examination was made of all segments of
rail line (broad-gauge main, branch, and spur
lines connected to or a part of the main USSR
rail network) which were at least 8 nautical miles
(rim) long and were covered for a distance of 15
nm on both sides by photography of sufficient
quality to determine with a
confidence the existence of ICBM complexes
with launch areas resembling the soft launch
areas, hard launch areas, or single silo con-
struction at Tyuratam Missile Test C?nter.
. TCS-10626/64
NP IC/R- 5090/64-
This search has negated, in terms of ICBM
activity, approximately 2,700 nm of Soviet rail
line and has produced no evidence of ICBM
activity that has not been previously reported.
Twelve overlays of World Aeronautical
Charts have been prepared 'showing all rail
lines searched with negative results. These
overlays also show the location of all ICBM
launch complexes identified to date and the
KEYHOLE mission pass number on which the
rail lines were covered. Copies of the 12
overlays, which constitute a graphic supplement
to this report, have been forwarded to the CIA
requester and to the TALENT Control Officers
of the Army, Navy, Air Force, DIA, and NSA.
Further reproduction and dissemination of these
overlays to subordinate commands will be the
responsibility of the above agencies.
