Handling of Original Negative From 6017
8. The Chairman offered a correction to ARC-M-97
paragraph 2, which should read:
a. HTAUTOMAT would forego the preparation of a mission
coverage summary at this time in order not to delay preparation
of duplicate materials by the factory.
b. The original negative will be transmitted to the factory for
reproduction to meet standing requirements as soon as Chief,
HTAUTOMAT reports to the Chairman that processing Headquarters
requirements have been met. The factory is being requested to
reproduce one duplicate positive in such form as to facilitate the
identification and orientation of the obliques. Without delay, however,
the factory will be requested to prepare through normal method of
duplication standing requirements for ODE photography. The ARC
will consider a report on the feasibility of continuing as a regular
matter the new method of duplication when such report is available
from the project officer in charge.
