25X1A9a 1. Reference is made to the telephone conversation on 20 September
1956 between and Colonel Dodds of this office.
2. As requested in referenced conversation, specific Army require-
ments for intelligence in the Middle East are inclosed herewith. The
requirements are arranged in two groups, representing photographic cov-
erage obtainable on two separate flights. If coverage is available,
information listed for each area is required. In the event that coverage
is not available, flights covering the two routes would be extremely
valuable. Vertical coverage would provide maximum advantage over all
targets.
3. In addition to the specific requirements listed in Inclosure 1,
any information reflecting military intentions and capabilities of Israel
and the Arab Bloc countries is a continuing Army requirement.
