MEMORANDUM FOR: United States Intelligence Board
SUBJECT: COMOR Report on High-Altitude Photographic
Coverage of Cuba, 31 October - 27 November 1966
REFERENCE: USIB-D-41. 14/205, (COMOR-D-24/ 178)

1. The results achieved in response to USIB requirements
for GLASS LAMP coverage of Cuba (see reference) are reported for
the 31 October-27 November period as follows:
a. About 90 percent coverage of the territory of Cuba
with interpretable photography at least once every four weeks.
Cumulative area coverage for the 28-day period
amounted to 92 percent. The areas not covered
(see map attached) are not judged to require
special coverage.
b. Unless time of year, weather, or other operational.
factors preclude such planning, missions should be flown on a
random basis and spread over the four-week period rather than
being concentrated.
Eight missions were flown during the period
as follows:
The overall Cuban coverage
requirement is under review, and:COMOR expects
to receive the DOD recommendations from the
DIA in the near future.

c. Coverage of specific targets in response to a need
as determined by COMOR or higher authority for confirmation or
denial of information received from other sources.

reconnaissance of Cuba was satisfied for the period 31 October - 27 November.
