SUBJECT: Authorization for Additional TACKLE Flight
On 21 June three TACKLE missions designed to secure informa-
tion on the Chinese Communist buildup were approved. Two of
these have now been flown.
The Director of Central Intelligence has requested standby
authority to fly one more mission in addition to the one already
authorized but not yet accomplished, in the event that weather
conditions make it profitable to do so.
All other members of the Special Group have concurred in
this request. Accordingly, it may be considered that as of this
date, authority exists for two more missions of this type - to
make a total of four, including the two already flown.
