MEMORANDUM FOR: Committee on Overhead. Reconnaissance
SUBJECT:
U. S. Capacity to Process Film from TALENT
and KEYHOLE Reconnaissance: Proposed-
Contingency Readout of Cuba Photography at
the Navy Photographic Interpretation Center.
The following memorandum from the DIA/ Joint Staff is distributed for
consideration of COMOR.
1. The increased frequency of satellitemissions scheduled
for the remainder of the calendar year may well prevent prompt readout
at the National Photographic Interpretation Center of coincidental Cuba
photography.
2. To insure that Cuba photography is interpreted and re-
ported without delay despite preoccupation 'of NATPIC facilities, it is
proposed that the. Navy Photographic Interpretation Center be authorized
to read out and report on Cuba CHESS photography at any time the :im-
mediate readout capability at NATPIC is pre-empted by satellite photog-
raphy or other commitments of higher priority as assigned by COMOR.
3. The proposed contingency readout of Cuba photography
at USNPIC will be subject to the same security provisions which govern
its handling at NATPIC.
4. Member services or agencies with participating inter-
preters at NATPIC may elect to provide readout assistance to USNPIC
during the interpreting and reporting interval.
5. Appropriate instructions to USNPIC, imparting the details
of procedure, schedule or reporting, and other essential guidance are
contained in the attachment.
6. It is requested that the COMOR a prove this proposal and
the implementing procedure outlined in the att ent.

Procedure for Contingency Readout of Cuba Photography
at the U. S. Navy Photographic Interpretation Center
1. When requested and authorized by COMOR to implement
contingency readout procedures, and upon receipt of a duplicate film
positive at USNPIC, USNPIC will:
a. Commence readout immediately if the
film is received prior to 1400, and in any case not-. later
than 0800 on the following day.
b. Once readout has commenced, work on a
continuous basis until SitSum readout of COMOR highest
priority requirements is completed.
C. Produce a message SitSum immediately
upon completion of readout to be sent to DIA for further
di s s emination.
d. Produce a hard copy SitSum on a priority
basis in the format established by NATPIC. This hard copy
will be disseminated in the quantities and to the recipients
as established by COMOR.
2. NATPIC will provide USNPIC with duplicate copies of
working materials, procedures and background information that is
available from previous readouts.
3. Services and agencies maint ing photographic interpre-
tation elements at NATPIC will be invited to participate in readout at
USNPIC if they so desire.
