Despite 75 percent cloud-free coverage, many high priority targets were not photographed because of adverse weather predictions in the target area. Some important targets such as the MRBM/IRBM sites that were predicted as cloud-covered during accesses on the first bucket were programmed for coverage on the second bucket, for which 80 percent cloud-free coverage is anticipated. 2. explained that, in addition to providing highlights from coverage obtained by KH-4 Mission 1110. ?IC briefers would cover some items Inot presented earlier and some other items believed to be of special interest. The briefings presented by NPIC covered the following topics as summarized at Tab A: (a) BADGER Activity in Communist China; (b) Rumanian Flood Conditions; (c) Activity at Aswan Airfield, Egypt; (d) Significant Unidentified Installations in China (SUI's, formerly SAWRF's); (e) Sovkhoz Future Plowshare Site, USSR; (f) VC/NVA Headquarters Complex, "Parrot's Beak", Cambodia; (g) Evaluation of Reported Possible FROG Equipment in North Vietnam; and (h) 25X1D 25),c1 25x1D 5 TV' 2248-70 Approved For Release 2002/11/10FI/SRCRETB01709A000900050 083-Rr el systems Jointly NO FOREIGN DISSEM Approved For Release 2002/11/15 : CIA-RDP79601709A000900050001-8 25X1D Next 2 Page(s) In Document Exempt Approved For Release 2002/11/15 : CIA-RDP79601709A000900050001-8 25X1A 25X1A Approved For Rel Dairr12002/11/1JPRIASii611q91301709A00094050001-8 NO FOREIGN DISSEM CORONA/ Section II (Approval of Minutes) COMIREX-M-96, M-97, M-98, and M-99 COMIREX-M-100 25X1A 11 June 1970 Members were requested to telephone comments or corrections to the Executive Secretary by c. o. b. on Monday, 16 June 1970, on COMIREX-M-96, covering the regular meeting of 14 May 1970 and on COMIREX-M-97, 98, and 99 covering the meetings held 25 May, 28 May, and 3 June to consider draft papers on guidance for NRP planning FY 1.972 and beyond (see USIB-D- 46. 4/38, COMIREX-D-13. 16/8, 9 June 1970). /No changes having been submitted, COMIREX-M-96, M-97, M-98, and M-99 are recorded as approved by COMIREX 16 June 1970J 9 IDEALIST/TACKLE Approved For Release 2002/11/1TORIS-KRETB01709A000900050 NO FOREIGN DISSEM 2248-70 01-8 Approved For Release 2002/11/15 : CIA-RDP79601709A000900050001-8 25X1D Approved For Release 2002/11/15 : CIA-RDP79601709A000900050001-8 Approved F 25X1A 25X1D 25X1A 25X1A or RdSeSse 2002/101'5SER141P79B01709AW0900050001-8 NO FOREIGN DISSEM CORONA/ IDEA LIST/TACKLE COMIREX -M -100 11 June 1970 Report on Aircraft and Drone Activities (T -KH) 6.

At that time he had pointed out to the Committee that EXSUBCOM member agencies had been involved since October 1968 in a detailed review of mission exploitation and reporting requirements for all COMIREX targets requiring exploitation at the national level. He noted that a major handicap in pursuing the over-all review had been the absence of common community language to be employed for definition of imagery exploitation requirements and to express priorities and level of readout required for the various systems. In light of this, the COMIREX staff developed the proposed system to include uniform terminology and format which the whole Community could adopt and apply uniformly in stating any and all mission exploitation require- ments, whether acquired by satellite or airborne reconnaissance. It was then possible to proceed quickly and effectively with formu- lation of the Middle East requirements within this system. 9. He noted that, while specific regional exploitation requirements had been developed and approved in the past for both North Vietnam and North Korea, experience had shown there was not any effective procedure to maintain them on a current basis and insure their responsiveness to the changing situation. For that reason, although draft requirements for the Middle East had in fact been coordinated within EXSUBCOM several weeks ago, had not submitted them to COMIREX for approval until the proposed mission exploitation guidance system for maintenance had been con- curred in by NPIC. He then proceeded to describe the proposed COMIREX mission exploitation guidance system which when adopted 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 15 2248-70 5X1A IDEALIST/TACKLE 50001-8 CORONA/ Approved For Release 2002/1T1018 :SECM579B01709A0009000 NO FOREIGN DISSEM Approved Fo 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A r Release 2002/ ing-,51;79B01709A01,000050001-8 COMIREX-M-100 11 June 1970 CORONA, IDEALIST/TACKLE would provide a comprehensive and uniform basis for expressing and maintaining mission exploitation requirements for all collection systems and target areas. The proposed system would also provide for flexibility and responsiveness to changing situations and current needs. Copies of the briefing charts used by are attached at Tab E. 10. The Acting Army Member asked whether, for example, point targets within a particular country as opposed to all point targets could be handled separately as a high priority readout requirement under the proposed system. be possible. replied that this would 11. if the procedure proposed by I differed from present procedures and was told exploitation requirements are presently handled in essentially this way but in a less definitive manner. I Is proposal, if approved, would serve to formalize exploitation guidance to NPIC. 12. Following discussion of the proposed general guidance and the need for specific current guidance on the Middle East, the Acting Chairman directed the Chairman, EXSUBCOM, to proceed immediately to complete action on the Middle East requirement and forward it to COMIREX for consideration at an early meeting. 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 16 2248-70 25X1A IDEA LIST/ TACKLE CORONA/ Approved For Release 2oorop1gERETDP79B01709A000 900050001-8 NO FOREIGN DISSEM 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 25X1D 25X1D 25X1A 25X1A Approved For ReVase 2002-A9R5KAgP79B01709A1500900050001-8 NO FOREIGN DISSEM CORONA/ IDEALIST/TACKLE Section V (Other Business) COMIREX-M-100 11 June 1970 Status of ARGO Support Activity (T-KH) 1. noted that NPIC has been requested to brief the 17 June ARGO Steering Committee meeting on KH-4 Mission 1110 coverage of the Rumanian floods.

COMIREX earlier had determined that KH-4 photography could not be provided in the time frame required. Subsequently the decision had then been made to employ Air Force and CIA U-2 assets utilizing the Iris II camera system against the requirement. (See COMIREX-D-38.2/1; COMIREX-M-95, Section IV, paragraphes 3-7; and COMIREX-M-96, Section IV, paragraphs 11.15). r 4. To date six missions had been evaluated by USGS, three Air Force and three CIA. These had provided coverage of about 70 percent of the requested area. The procedures developed for feedback of mission success and recoverage requirements to the operators was working satisfactorily and he was optimistic about completing the project prior to the advent of the hurricane season. He also reported that USGS has reported the quality of the photog- raphy to be generally very good. 17 IDEALIST/TACKLE CORONA /I Approved For Release 2002/1?Uffi SEIRE779B01709A000900 NO FOREIGN DISSEM 2248-70 25X1A 050001-8 1A 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 25X6 25X1A 25X1A Approv For Re'lliese 2oo2A9N5tchfgro79Boi7o9Atiet900050001-8 NO FOREIGN DISSEm CORONA/ IDEA LIST/TACKLE Status of ACDA Support Activity COMIREX-M-100 25X1A 11 June 1970 (T -KH) 5. presented a status report on COMIREX support to the ACDA planned Field Test-51 (see COMIREX-M-81, Section V, paragraph 3). He reviewed the background of the ACDA request to COMIREX and the accomplishment to date. He noted that the poor weather in the area of the proposed test, the conflict with higher priority COMIREX targets, as well as target conflicts within the FT-51 area itself, made the achievement of an adequate imagery data base on the targets extremely difficult. This is shown by the fact that so far only eight successful data base photographs have been achieved out of 94 attempts. A copy of the graphics used by are included as 'Tab F. Effort to Acquire Coverage of China (T -KH) 7. In commenting on the NPIC briefing of results from Mission 1110-1, noted that, with regard to parts of Communist China on which we have not had photographic coverage for three years or more, it may be necessary for us to take higher risks with regard to weather predictions in attempts to acquire coverage on upcoming missions. 18 IDEALIST/TACKLE 2248-70 Approved For Release 2002/TINS SfleffEr79B01709A00090 NO FOREIGN DISSEM 25X1A 25X1 25X1 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 25X1A 25A1 25X1A 25X1A Approved For RereferU 2002/F5 ff!,131gP79B01709A04000050001-8 FOREIGN DISSEM CORONA/ IDEALIST/TACKLE Accelerated Handlin COMIREX-M-100 11 June 1970 of Southeast Asia Photo raphy(T-KH) 8. The Acting Chairman informed the Committee on steps taken by DIA to accelerate the field's processing of imagery from Southeast Asia missions. In view of the increased Community interest in Cambodia and the SEA area generally, DIA had earlier provided for accelerated delivery of film from these missions to the Washington area. Now they were attempting to expedite all phases of the process as applied to the full range of the various types of missions in the area. 9.

These will be submitted for COMIREX approval in the near future. 3. He also noted that EXSUBCOM had developed the target list for first-phase mission exploitation of the planned South China drone mission. Special film distribution requirements have also been issued as a modification to the standing requirements document (COMIREX-D-34. 6/1 and amendments thereto., ) These special require- ments provide that one duplicate positive (DP) print each for CIA/IAS and DIAAP-9 will be included-in the first priority shipment to NPIC. This modification to the standing film distribution requirements was an exception and does not constitute a permanent change to the normal distribution priorities. Data Base Working Group (T -KH) 4.

No new launch sites were observed. New information was obtained, however, from coverage of portions of at least 25 MRBM/IRBM complexes. Two new Type III-D launch groups and a new (11th) III-D site which has not yet been assigned to a group were identified at the Derazhnya MRBM Complex. Two III-D launch sites were also newly identified at the Pervomaysk IRBM Complex. A full report will be available following study of Mission 1110-2. 2. The Tyuratam Missile and Space Center was obscured by heavy clouds. Only the main support base at Plesetsk was covered and no significant activity was noted there. Coverage of Sary Shagan revealed no change in the new radar reported at an earlier meeting (see page A-4 of COMLR,EX-M-93). BADGER Activity in Communist China 3. reported the largest number of BADGER aircraft observed in Communist China to date. Eight BADGER aircraft were identified at Wu Kung Airfield, the home base for BADGER's, and four others were observed on the same pass at the Hsian Airframe Plant. Rumanian Flood Conditions 4. reported that Mission 1110-1 provided coverage of parts of Rumania on 30 May. Although the flood waters were already subsiding by this date, there was evidence of high waters in Central and South Rumania where coverage was obtained.

Evaluation of Possible FROG Equipment in North Vietnam 16. I reported on a special briefing to the Project Task Group following the arrival of 2 June GIANT SCALE photography of North Vietnam in Washington on Sunday evening (7 June). Field readouts of this GIANT SCALE photography had originally reported 41 possible FROG transporter launchers in the Vinh Yen area of North Vietnam.

The objects present a very low profile in stereo and this was the main argument against their being considered FROG transporter launchers. A second reason was the total lack of track vehicle activity in this entire area. There are extensive storage facilities for trucks and construction equipment in this area as well as crates of all sizes and smaller vehicles. NPIC analysts believe, and DIA agrees, that the vehicles are low-bed trailers. 17.
