THE PRESIDENT'S DAILY BRIEF
3 July 1971
PRINCIPAL DEVELOPMENTS
On Page 1, we discuss the number of new Soviet mis-
sile silos identified in a preliminary analysis of
photography from the current KH-9 mission.
The deaths of the Soviet cosmonauts apparently were
due to a lack of oxygen resulting from loss of pres-
sure in their descent capsule during re-entry.

Chile's Central Bank is recommending an austerity
program in place of the. expansionary policies being
pursued by Allende:. (Page 4)

FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY
USSR
Preliminary analysis of photography obtained
from the second portion of the current KH-9 mission
shows six additional new missile silos of the smaller
type and one additional silo of the larger type.
Forty nine of the smaller type and 18 of the larger
type silos have now been identified. Several others
have been tentatively identified.
Reconstruction of one of the two launch pads
at the Tyuratam missile test center where SS-9s have
been tested appears to be nearly complete. Testing
of a missile for the larger silo could begin from
this pad at any time.
Analysis of this photography is continuing,
and the number of both silo types may change.

USSR
The Soyuz 11 cosmonauts apparently died of asphyxia-
tion resulting from a loss of pressure in their de-
scent capsule during re-entry.
A report yesterday by Victor. Louis, the Soviet-born
Moscow correspondent for a London newspaper, indi-
cates that the cosmonauts died from a Zack of oxygen-
because they had not properly sealed the hatch on
the capsule. Louis has provided accurate informa-
tion in the past on some Soviet events and is used
in various unofficial ways by the Soviet Government.
The amount of technical detail in his report suggests
that his information came from knowledgeable Soviet
officials.
The report supports other evidence that the deaths
were caused by a mechanical failure in the space-
craft and by human error rather than by the phys-
iological effects of prolonged weightlessness or by
the residual effects of the fire which earlier had
been extinguished aboard SaZyut.)/
What :effect the accident will haves on the Soviet
manned-space'prograth is-not'yet:clear.: If the- prob.-
Zems are minor, future manned- space flights are not
liklu.to be sianifiaantly delayedl
Most of the ships
which supported the Soyuz 11 mission have departed
their stations, indicating that another manned launch
is not imminent. The Soviets evidently plan to use
Salyut again because they have raised its orbit since
the cosmonauts' return, thereby extending its life.

FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY
CHILE
The Central Bank has warned that foreign ex-
change reserves may be exhausted by the end? of the
year The bank
recommends that the regime stop deficit spending,
raise prices charged by nationalized enterprises,
reassure private investors, devalue the escudo,
and let prices for luxury goods rise.
Industrial production is reported to be
approaching capacity levels and will be
hard pressed to meet heavy consumer de-
mand, which continues unabated. As a re-
sult, prices are beginning to rise more
rapidly despite price controls and in-
creased imports. The administration ap-
parently intends for the present to con-
tinue its expansionary policies even
though Allende has said privately that
ChiZe will soon be undergoing a "dollar
crisis" and be forced to devalue.
