Project research has not yet been undertaken in CIA/OBR
owing to personnel limitations.
Research in CIA/ORR in FY 1958 vill be pointed toward
closing this gap with respect to the USSR.
Project research has not yet been undertaken in CIA/ORR
owing to personnel limitations. Research performed in
CIA/ORR with respect to Sections 64 (Manufacturing and
Construction) of the HIS program has effectually closed
this gap for several of the European Satellites.

Available research tis in CIA/ORR is currently being
directed toward closing this gap in USSR research.
Project research has not yet been undertaken in CIA/ORE
owing to persomel 11mitntions.
Available research effort in CIA/ORE will be devoted in
FY 1958 toward closing this gap in the European Satellites.
Project research has not yet been irltiatod in CIA/ORE
owing to personnel limitations. Partial closure has been
effected by CIA/OE research in connection with preparation
of section 614 (Manufacturing and Construction) of the HIS
