MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, COMOR
SUBJECT: BRASS KNOB Coverage of Cuba
1. Attached are the following:
a. a table showing BRASS KNOB coverage of the COMOR Highest
Priority Targets for Cuba during 1 - 10 July.
b. a table showing BRASS KNOB coverage of all COMOR targets
during the same period.
c. a map showing the locations of the COMOR targets with arrows
indicating those not covered during 4 - 10 July.
2. During 4 - 10 July, 7 BRASS KNOB missions were flown, and 87
percent of the _otal land area of Cuba was covered by photography with
25 percent or less cloud cover. During this period, 12 of the COMOR
targets were not covered, and of these only one was in the Highest
Priority category.
3. It will be noted that the Guantanamo Area is carried as having
been covered. Because of pockets of cloud cover, however, three small
militar installations within the area were not observed in clear photo-
graphy Perserverancia Military Camp; Cabanas
Military Camp; and Ti Arriba Military Camp).
