1. This memo

Missile Test Center.
is in response to your requirement dated 6%Tuly
examination of all Soviet type ma. hardened ICBM
the 80..7 missile system. This examination was made
ces, if any, between deployed sites constructed during
and differences between DI and D2 at the Tyura Tam
o any apparent relationships between D1 and D2 and
the deployed sites were to be determined.
2. The 27 Type 1114 hard sites were considered as an early and a late
group as requested, ifts early group of 16 sites were first observed under
construction on otography between The late group
of 11 sites were first observed between Listed below
are the early and late groups and construction status.

quality, large scale photography or the late group or sites under construction
indicates that the finisbed signature (of the facilities built 'within the
excavation) will probably be similar to that of the early group. In overall
gross features of construction, all of the sites in, the late group appear to
be similar to each other and to the sites in the early group.
