by Congress during the Cuban hearings on the importance of SAM sites as
indicators of other missile activity. A listing of satellite SAM sites was
provided. The only area outside the Sloe that we had'astamphic evidence

I called these photos to Mr. Lundahl's attention. He asked that / call
them to Mr. Tidwell's attention just in case he would like to include the
photos in the'OC/ Bulletin. He also asked that I post 50X1
Mi.. Tidwell was out, so I left a message along with the print numbers.
Approximately at hour later I received a phone call from of OR 50X1
that he had received an urgent request from the re/I Office for the photos
and that he had personally delivered the photos to Mr. Cline's office.
At approximately the same time, I called the photos to
attention. He asked if he could borrow the prints and make view graphs for
the DIA. I loaned him the prints and the view graphs were made.
I don't knew the exact date (the listed date was Feb 63) of the photography,
but in less than 8 working hours after receipt by NFIC the photos were cata-
pulted into the hands of the DD/I and the Director, DIA.
Again, I don't want to seed impertinent, but this is the second case
in two weeks in which the DD/P have missed identifying Missile equipment.
50X1
There is presently no mechanism at NTIC to assure us that such photos
reach the hands of the pertinent special assistants, the DD/I, or more important,
the DCI. We in CSD will continue to call such photos to the attention of
Messrs. Lundahl,
line to the DIA, on the other hand, is a very direct one with
F----71Zrrying the mail directly, efficiently, and, most Important, very
speedily to Can Carroll.
