quarterly review o imag y reconnaissance activity to the JCS.
These briefings primarily address National Reconnaissance Program

in Southeast Asia. Although satellites are the main focus of interest
and concern, the briefings also include discussion of those aircraft
programs that augment satellite collection r provide unique photo-

4. Concerning coverage of Cuba, I pointed
out the recent drop in the number of missions flown monthly.
This reflected the impact of the new USIB requirement and the
increased capabilities provided by use of the Iris II camera. He
noted that although three missions were flown in April, there was
only one in May and one in June (see page B-16).
5. With regard to the conclusions presented in the
briefing (see page B-G0), I commented that a study is
being made on imagery satellite reconnaissance priorities in an
effort to determine and document the impact of current mission
priority requirements on our coverage achievement against the
USIB standing requirements. This becomes an especially significant
factor in view of the stretch-out in the present KH-4 schedule. There
is also growing concern about the adequacy of the existing imagery
data base on Warsaw Pact countries and a continued high interest in
the Middle East and Soviet activity relating to that area.

first bucket of CORONA Mission 1111, a seven-day bucket.
Depending on film utilization, the second bucket may be flown

predictions for South China are very poor; there may, however,
be a break in the weather over Eastern Europe.
replied the NRO was still projecting about a 20 percent loss in
total area coverage on Mission 1111 as a result of lowering the
altitude to achieve improved resolution (see COMIREX-M-101,
Section V, paragraphs 9-11).

Requests for Authorization to Use Sanitized KH-4 Photography
in Support of Targeting and Operational Planning (Middle East
and North Korea) (COMIREX-D-2.6/5) (T-KH)

to use sanitized KH-4 photography to illustrate targets contained
in the Middle East Target Study and North Korea Target Study in
support of JCS military contingency planning, 25X1A
lie .
summarized the record of previous USIB action in this
In August 1967 the Board approved sanitization and use of KH-4
photography on a continuing basis in specific support of manned
strike operations as called for by the Strategic Integrated
Operational Plan (SLOP), without need for further recourse to
COMIREX or to USIB. COMIREX, however, was to be kept
informed as to the identity and proposed use of photography so
sanitized. (See USIB-D-46. 2/1, COMIREX-D-2. 7/2.) In
September 1968, the Board authorized the expanded use of
sanitized KH-4 photography in military plans other than the SIOP
but stipulated that COMIREX would review each requirement for
such use (see USIB-D-46.2/7, COMIREX-D-2.7/7).

7, reported there had been some
discussion within SDWG as o whether the latter USIB authorization
also covered the use of sanitized KH-4 photography for military
planning at the JCS level. He believed the original USIB
authorization clearly included JCS planning and he recommended
that, if COMIREX concurred in that interpretation, the DIA request
be approved.
8. In recording CIA's concurrence in the SDWG
recommendation, I tated that he felt the SDWG had done
an excellent job in staffing and preparing this paper for the
Committee's action.

FY 1971 Basic Exploitation Program "Standard Imagery Target
Definition" (SITD) Production (T -KH)
10. The Executive Secretary reported that NPIC has
raised a point concerning the production and publication of Standard
Imagery Target Definition (SITD) graphics in reports produced
under the FY 1971 Basic Exploitation Program. COMIREX had
authorized inclusion of such graphics in DIA Basic Reports prepared
under the FY 1970 program, with the understanding that such
authorization did not constitute COMIREX acceptance of the SITD
as a required Community format for standardized target delineation
(see COMIREX-M-79, Section IV, paragraphs 12-15). As the
result of overly optimistic scheduling, many reports approved
under the FY 1970 Basic Exploitation Program were not completed
in time for publication in FY 1970 and were rescheduled under the
FY 1971 program. DIA has included SITD graphics in a number of
these deferred reports now being submitted to NPIC for publication,
with more to come. The Center is seeking guidance on whether
it is obligated to print these SITD graphics.
11. The Chairman asked the NPIC Consultant what
added cost would be involved if the SITD's they had in hand were
published. I stimated the additional cost to NPIC
of publishing a Basic Report containing the SITD as approximately
$50 per issue of 100 copies. noted that the question 25X1A
raised by NPIC was basically whether the publication of SITD's was
not a departmental rather than a national program.
12. Noting that data is clearly not readily at hand to
decide the general issues of the need for a Community standardized
target definition and whether the SITD is the best format to meet
such a need, I sked that NPIC proceed to publish those

basic reports containing SITD's already submitted or in process
by DIA pending more detailed consideration of the basic issues
by COMIREX. The Chairman expressed the feeling that he has
never accepted the test that there must be total utility to every
single component of the Community for something to be done on
a Community-wide basis and he would also like to be certain that
in any future discussions on this matter we do not attempt to
apply a more stringent criteria of total Community utility for
the SITD's than we do for other data or graphic elements contained
in basic exploitation reports.

Exploitation Priority for Mission 1111 -1 (T -KH)
1. The DIA Member asked that Mission 1111 -1
coverage of the Middle East and areas of SS-9 ICBM deployment
be given highest exploitation priority by NPIC. The Chairman
stated that a canvass of interested agencies had been made and
there was general agreement on need for priority exploitation
reporting on these two fields. To the degree there might be any
conflict between the two, Middle East coverage should be reported
out first and the Soviet strategic missile targets second. The
NPIC Consultant confirmed that the Middle East passes were
scheduled for readout Friday night (31 July) and exploitation of
Soviet strategic missile coverage was to begin Sunday morning
(2 August). The results will be available to the Community by
early Monday morning, 3 August.
2. noted there would be a delay of several
hours in NPIC's receipt of the Middle East film since special
printing of the coverage on that area was necessary because of the
terrain and illumination problems.

3? reported that, in view of the continuing
high interest in the status of coverage on ICBM complexes and the
Soviet MRBM/IRBM belt, he is developing a new reporting procedure
on cumulative and mission accomplishment coverage against specific
ICBM target complexes. It will be based on NPIC certification of
usable coverage by WAG cells. This procedure will make possible
early provision of post-mission graphics from a computerized
data base, similar to those now being issued for ('?ha and N rth

plans are to include the first bucket of Mission -1111 under this
program and follow on with the second bucket results as soon as

Soviet ICBM complexes were issued in COMIREX-S-1/1, distributed

7. Following approval of the SDWG recommendation
for use of sanitized KH-4 photography in support of JCS targeting
and operational planning, the general question of use of sanitized
satellite imagery was discussed. Mr. Moyer noted State's long-
standing reservations on using sanitized satellite photography
outside the established control systems unless the fact of satellite
imagery reconnaissance itself were decontrolled and downgraded.
observed that; when USIB has completed its scheduled
early October review of this question, the resulting guidelines
should make future handling of sanitization and release requests
much easier.
8. believed the experience gained in staffing
the two items on which e Committee had just completed action
at this meeting (see Section IV, paragraphs 1-9) will be useful to
the Special Task Group in preparing the draft COMIREX study for
USIB on utilization of satellite photography. I I requested
that "live" cases such as these be kept in mind as posse le concrete
examples of the functioning and problems of the present control
system.
