3. Missions during the Period: Three BLACK SHIELD missions
were flown on 28, 29 and 30 October; the results are not available.
According to field reporting, a BUMBLE BUG mission, flown
25 October, photographed the Phuc Yen Airfield.
4. Base Line /Surveillance Coverage Reported during the Period:
A GIANT DRAGON and missions, flown in previous
reporting periods, acquired surveillance coverage of twelve priority targets
in North Vietnam. A review of photography shows that seven of the eight
ground force installations recently subdivided into smaller areas have
received base line coverage. This increases the base line total from 153
to 160 targets. Two of the seven targets have also received updated
surveillance coverage.
5. Tab A: Lists all priority targets and shows the status of base
line/ surveillance coverage as follows:
Column 2 - Underlining indicates base line or surveillance
coverage added since the last report.
Column 4 - Base Line coverage since 1 March 1966 shown
by date.
Column 5 - The number of times surveillance coverage has
been added to the base line photography.
Column 6 - Date of the most recent base line/ surveillance
quality coverage.
6. The Map at Tab B: Shows the distribution of the 178 targets
illustrating the primary areas for lines of communication by shading. The
160 targets which have been covered by base line quality photography since
1 March 1966 are shown by a black dot, the remaining 18 by a black circle.
Arrows indicate base line/ surveillance coverage added during the reporting
period.

7. There has been no report of photographic detection of the intro-
duction of offensive missile systems into North Vietnam.
8. The Map at Tab C: Shows the high resolution photographic
coverage of North Vietnam (80% or better cloud-free) that has been reported
in the three week period ending 30 October. This has been reported in
accordance with the photo reconnaissance area grid system. In addition to
area coverage, the map shows ten targets that could most likely reveal the
introduction of offensive missile systems into North Vietnam. An eleventh
target, the Kun Ming railroad yards, is located at 2501N and is consequently
off the map.
