MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director, NPIC
04-
REFERENCE : Your note of 26 June 1970
X1 1. this date. The work which
we have done on Kunming Military Installations is not in the detail required
for OSR. We have supplied the information we have to IAS and have arranged
X1 for the IEG analysts on this area, to meet
regularly with the IAS counterparts. IAS will complete all the work-on
L/'? Kunming Military Region unilaterally.
2. We estimate that ewe can do the Lanchou Military Region in 12 to 15
months if we can augment the four PIs currently assigned tothis region with
an
"other four. The additional four PIs will work full time on the military
installations studies under the guidance of the PIs assigned to each providence.
The latter PIs, however, will have to spend much of their time on first- and
second-phase reporting and in developing overall familiarity with their real
estate. We doubt that they will be able to spend more than 1/3 of their time
to the military installation reporting.
3. Following completion of Lanchou we could undertake the Wuhan MR.
However, in discussions with L he rA~~ a +h h- th r
v agency might underta e this area.
1!. Regarding Tibet and Sinkiang, the analysis and reporting which we have
done to date does not contain the chronology and mensuration necessary to meet
OSR's needs. It could serve, however, to identify facilities and their current
status.
X1
5. Ray has talked with I and several others in DIAAP-9. A
copy of his MR is attached. DIAAP-9 appears willing and eager to undertake
some of these studies if they can be properly tasked.

6. If you concur with my proposal to take on the Lanchou Military
Region, I will need to reassign four PI positions; two each from SD and
MSD to the f'!Yiina Branch, EGD. I believe we could be starte on is project
by the 15th of July.
