GUIDED MISSILE AND ASTRONAUTICS INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
17 June 1970
MEMORANDUM FOR: Chairman, COMIREX
SUBJECT: KH-4 Mission Coverage of Soviet Strategic
Ballistic Missile Launch Complexes
1. The Guided Missile and Astronautics Intelligence Committee
(GMAIC) is greatly concerned that postponement of the next KH-4
mission to September 1970 will seriously degrade the efficacy of
NIE 11-8-70 scheduled for USIB approval in September. Furthermore,
strategic weapons deployment information provided on a timely
basis is necessary to those involved with SALT.
2. If the launch of KH-4 Mission 1111 is delayed beyond
its original early August date, NIE 11-8-70 ICBM deployment state-
ments will have to be based primarily on the March 1970 KH-4
Mission 1009 since coverage of the SS-9 ICBM deployed sites
provided by Mission 1110 was largely incomplete. The GMAIC
considers this unsatisfactory.
3. In view of the above, it is recommended that every
effort be ma to re-schedule KH-4 Mission 1111 for late July or
early August
