MEMORANDUM FOR THE UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE BOARD
SUBJECT COMOR Biweekly Report on High-Level
Coverage of Cuba
REFERENCE USIB-D-41.14/74, (COMOR-D-24/90),
2 October, Limited Distribution
At its 3 October meeting, USIB, with Dr. McMillan, Director, NRO,
in attendance, considered the subject report and with respect thereto, took
the following actions:
a. Noted the referenced report and the supplemental remarks and
data which were provided orally by Mr. Reber on the general adequacy of
the coverage (except over Artemisa).
b. Noted, as reported by the Chairman, USIB, that he had brought
to the attention of the Standing Group the apparent redeployment of surface
to air (SAM) missile sites in Cuba from an area to a Point defense, and the
this may mean the Soviets have made a judgment that total isIzind defense ybyyyu
SAMs to protect against our observations of their missile installations is no
longer in their program. If the SAMs are turned over to the Cubans in the
near future, the SAMs may then no longer be under the restraint which has
existed for the last year. This would pose a threat to the U-2 which might
require consideration of various alternative measures.
