1. This memq~~;ndum is in response to your .requirement dated 19 March 1965,
which requests m~n>?'ural data on-control bunkers and interferometers identified
techniques, but it is estimated-to be on the order of 20 feet deep. The 110 by 60
feet building,-upon completion, rises to near surface level, and is then earth .
covered.' It is positioned 300 .to 500 feet Pram the launch silo.
In th'l~ is emplaced one building which measures 110 by 60 feet. Near this build-
ing and within the excavation is the intersection of .the legs~~"th~'{'L"-'shaped
interferometer. Positioned at the apex-of the "L" is a small ,structure pirobgbly-
recte-ngulsr. in shape. 'fie size of the -excavation observed''at the Type III-C sites
is such that more than one building, 110 by 60 feet, could be acca~odated although
-there~has been no evidence~of additional construction identified other than already
mentioned. The-depth of this excavation ct~nnot be determined by photogra~etric

at least 130 feet wide, is initially prepared for the probable control bunker.

2. A number of the specific measurements requested in'your requirement can-
not be derived Pram available photography. However, it has been determined that
