MEMORANDUM FOR: Project Director
SUBJECT: Renewal of_Missions
1. The Ad Hoc Requirements Committee, at its meeting
yesterday, was informed of the current plans for weekly coverage
of Middle Eastern area in view of the present situation in that area.
2. The agencies agreed to present under our normal
procedure requirements by Friday of this week for possible missions
next week, and these will be referred to Operations as usual promptly.
3. In view of the dangers involved in such overflights and
possible jeopardy to the major objective, namely, the penetration
of the USSR, and in view of their understanding that engine time is
a matter for concern, the members of the Ad Hoc Requirements
Committee are maintaining a constant alert in their agencies to
identify real need for coverage. They will keep me continuously
informed in order that Operations may be advised promptly.
4. Pending the receipt toward the end of this week of the
take from mission 1365. the Ad Hoc Requirements Committee
recommends missions only when needed to meet requirements
and does not endorse the establishment of a schedule of a mission
nd a longer mission per week in the situation at present.
