injunction in USIB-17-331/32, perhaps then followed by paragraph 1,
Paragraph 2: The CCPC recognizes that during the next eighteen
months the CCPC believes that collection efforts need to be geared:
a, To obtaining as much information as possible bearing upon
operatianal deployment of ICBMs during the next eighteen months
during rxvhich time it is anticipated that deployment sites will be under
construction revealing information if observed not obtainable later
on, and
b, To keeping abreast of the devetopncaent of long range
developments which will becoxxae a permanent target for the most
sophisticated of intelligence collection methods.
Accordingly, it recomrracsnds action to meet these two stages as
follows:
a. Far the irnmedaate eighteen month period;
1) Seek perxa~ission for use of present overflight capability
to c+btafn photography on areas most highly suspect for operational
deployment and establishment of sites, (It should be recognized
that we have na infarrnation which can conclusively guide us to
where construction of sites or operatianal depioyrnent is now
taking place.
2) Proceed with urgency to provide current EL-INT gear..
(now in preparation) for obtaining rna.ximum telemetry signals,
3) Request NSA. to reallocate its resources fur maxizraum
