1, We have leted the requirement outlined in OSA request of 2 July
1970 results of this evaluation are contained in the
attached SG -/IEB a orandun #131/70 to of your
organization.
2. At the 2 August 1970 meeting with it was mutually
agreed that a detailed interpretability comparison of the test flights
with recent operational missions was not necessary. The availability of
duplicate positives of the test mission material was one reason for this
decision.
3. From a technical standpoint, we can say that the image quality of
rent Old Head missions (IRIS II Camera/Cuba) and Giant Nail missions
(IRIS II Camera/SE Asia) is ccarable to that obtained from these test
flights.
