It was the view of COMOR that photography over Cuba should be the subject of COMOR consideration in regard to handling procedures, preliminary interpretation, reporting, and presentation of requirements. 4. The Committee strongly recommended that the classification be SECRET NO FORN SPECIAL HA. NDLING REQUIRED in order to permit the full utilization of the material by those who needed it but who were not in the TALENT System. The Chairman said that he doubted that the COMOR wishes on security handling were feasible in view of the sensitivity of the collection, but that he would report the view to his superiors. If the recom- mendation for SECRET classification were not acceptable, the Committee recommended at least that photographic prints at the SECRET NO FORN level should be mleasable as SECRET NO FORN SPECIAL HANDLING REQUIRED (the original negative and-all rolled duplicate materials remain- ing in the TALENT System). 5. The COMOR further recommended that a joint preliminary PI report be prepared and released .in .a. sanitized form comparable to the OXY reports on the Middle East, Indo-China, Tibet, and Communist China at the TOP SECRET NO FORN level. It was recognized that information on certain operational requirements might have to be excluded from such a report. 2 50X1 TOP SECRET Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/04: CIA-RDP92B01090R001100180061-3 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/06/04: CIA-RDP92B01090R001100180061-3 TOP cFrRFT 6.
