PASS TO NPIC
1. HQRS HAS DELEGATED TO NPIC THE AUTHORITY TO REMOVE FROM
CORONA MSNS CERTAIN PORTIONS OF MSN PRODUCT EXPOSED OVER A
HIGHLY - S.INSITIVE AREA.
2. AN EVALUATION OF FRAMING CAMERA CAPABILITY TO PRODUCE INTELLIGENCE
DATA MUST BE MADE PRIOR TO REACHING A DECISION ON BLANKET REMOVAL
OF FRAMING CAMERA FILM OVER THE SAME SENSITIVE AREA.
3. OUR BEST ESTIMATE IS THAT DUE TO FAILURE OR ERRATIC OPERATION
FILM IN THE FRAMING CAMERA HAS NOT BEEN EXPOSED OVER THE SENSITIVE
AREA. HOWEVER, IT IS MOST IMPORTANT THAT IF ANYONE SUSPECTS THAT
THE AREA HAS BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED BY THE FRAMING CAMERA AN EVALUATION
OF THE CAMERAS CAPABILITY BE MADE AND THESE FINDINGS ARE
FORWARDED T O HQRS IMMEDIATELY.
4. HQRS WILL THEN MAKE THE DECISION REGARDING THE APPROPRIATE
