hours. Long distance buses did not run throughout the night because of
the insecurity on the roads. In spite of this precaution bus holdups
occurred. one holdup in 1955, when the Tashkent- 50X1-HUM

1. The Central Asian State Planning Institute for Irrigation in Cotton
(SH1AZGIPHOVODKiiLOPOK) was at 23 ulitsa Lenina, Tashkent. The
building at this address was of brick, three stories high, and about
50 to 60 meters long; the first floor was occupied by the Ministry
of Water, and the second and third floors by the institute, The
institute's motor pool was at 75 Parkentskaya ulitsa,
2, the institute was subordinate to an 50X1-HUM
unidentified ministry in iXoscow. Approximately 500 persons were
employed by the institute. Although the institute's title would
indicate that it was primarily devoted to and interested in cotton
cultivation and irrigation, it performed 50X1-HUM
other functions as well, On most projects soil
depths ranging from 20 to 600 meters, and
some of the institute's expeditions were 50X1-HUM
searching for minerals,. including uranium? The institute also
collected topographic data to be used for topographic mapping, The
institute consisted of four sections: topography, geology, soil
science, and hydrology.
3. During the summer the institute had ten to 15 teams operating in the
field, In the winter there were only four or five teams. A team
could vary in number from 15 to 50 people, If a team was to be gone
a long time on a difficult mission as many as 50 workers might be
sent, On other missions only 15 or 20 workers might comprise a team.
The teams were either topography, geology, soil science, or hydrology,
although on some missions all four teams could be combined and sent
together.

J4. The topographers were surveyors who collected the necessary data from
which maps were later compiled. 50X1-HUM
Soil experts took samplings of earth up to a 50X1-HUM
meter deep (usually in areas where the Soviets were not successful
in raising cotton); hydrologists projected plans for irrigating
cotton-growing areas-, and geologists took earth samplings up to depths
of 600 meters, samples were taken every meter 50X1-HUM
in depth, because a supervisor telling the men to be
careful and load the samples on the truck "meter after meter". 50X1-HUM
estimated =depth of "600 meters" by the number of meters of pipe 50X1-HUM
delivered to a job, This number usually varied between 20 ouA-i-h uivi
and meters. Sometimes the samples were placed in wooden boxes
and other times in paper cartons. The containers ranged in size from
about six-inch cubes to eighteen-inch cubes. all 50X1-HUM
the earth samples were taken for analysis to a laboratory on ulitsa
Chekova in Tashkent,
5, The institute had teams operating in the following areas: Chimkurgan,2
Angren (N 111-01 S 70-12), Ura-Tyube (N 39-55 E 69-01), Stalinabad
(N 38-33, S 68-Z8) , Kurgan-Tyube (N 3750, E 96-47). Leninabad (N 110-17,
S 69-37), and Termez (N 37-111, E 67-16). In spring 1959 a 50X1-HUM
team depart for Termez where they were to remain for eight months,
this was the third consecutive year
that a team had gone into the Termez area.
