IAD PI Course No. 1-66, tentatively scheduled to start 28 February
(P.I. NOTES 21/66), has been postponed to 14 March. (SECRET)
Thirteen briefing boards are currently in preparation showing a
comparison between U-2 overhead photography and color ground photography
taken by an IAD/GMB imagery analyst in the field. Both types of
photography, taken at approximately the same time, are of military
installations in the southern Laotian Panhandle. The areas photographed
are currently coming under attack by Pathet Lao and Viet Cong forces
attempting to gain further control of the Bolovan Plateau in the
Panhandle Area. The boards are scheduled for completion by 14 March
1966, and will be available for briefings upon request. (SECRET)

Detailed photographic analysis is continuing on a recently discovered
insurgent base area located 2 nm inside Cambodian territory and approxi-
mately 21 nm west-northwest of Ban Me Thuot. Analysis has revealed, in
addition to those areas previously mentioned in the PI Notes, 5 probable
bivouac/storage areas on the east bank of the Srepok River approximately
1 nm east of Mereuch.
These newly identified areas contain good examples of
activity, earthen bunkers, and automatic weapons positions. In addition,
widely dispersed dwellings were observed, interconnected by a maze of well-
used trails and concealed under a light tree canopy. PI Comment: for
additional information see PI Notes 25/66, dated 25 February 1966.

CIA/IAD PI NOTES of 25
February 1966 TCS 1 61/66)
contained information concerning
the presence of a large unidenti-
field surface combatant observed
on
at the Zhdanov Shipyar
190, Leningrad, USSR (59-53N
030-14E). A recently completed
comparative analysis indicates
that this vessel is of a new
class. When compared to the
latest major class of Soviet
warship, the KASHIN-Class DLG,
this new ship appears to have a
significantly longer LOA and a
broader beam. The approximate
major dimensions of this ship
include a 530-foot length and a
beam of roughly 55 to 65 feet -
or approximately 60 feet longer
and 5 to 15 feet broader than
the KASHIN.

photo analysis of this ship, compared to a probable KASHIN-Class DLG
observed on this same KH-4 coverage, is shown in Figure 2.
