RO DECLASSIFICATION/RELEASE INSTRUCTIONS ON FILE
MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief, IDEALIST Division, OSA
SUBJECT: Requirements in Southeast Asia
1. I have personally reviewed all the papers associated
with this subject through the Special Group minutes of 17
March 1964. Listed below are the requirements for CIA U-2
aircraft in Southeast Asia (Lazy Daisy missions):
a. The road networks in Laos, North Vietnam, and
Cambodia which are located outside of that area assigned
to SAC will be covered on a basis of "a near as possible
daily coverage of roads and logical routes from North
Vietnam to South Vietnam through Laos and Cambodia, the
results to be the subject of continuing analysis by
MACV and the wsshiagton intelligence community to deter-
mine whether the data acquired are of sufficient value
to warrant continuation or modification of the program."
b. All other targets in North Vietnam and Laos
previously designated as COMQR requirements are now
considered by COMDR to be CINCUBMACV requirements.
c. Specific targets selected in support of Ops Plan
34-A will be covered regardless of weather when specifi-
cally designated by CINCU$MACV.
d. Any other target in the CIA area of responsibility
when designated by CINCUSMACV will be covered regardless
of weather.
2. The confusion surrounding our responsibility and
authority to conduct operations beyond the SAC area of respons-
ibility in Cambodia has been caused by the deletion of the
word Cambodia in certain papers dealing with the conflict of
areas in ` - R'outheasst Asia. For the purpose of our operational
consideration, I consider the memo prepared by DCI, Subject:
