MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central
Ingelligence
SUBJECT: Cuba Targets
1. As of possible interest, there is set forth
in the attached the list of targets for and for
BRASS KNOB for Sunday, November 18, which have been
agreed between CIA and DIA (and, therefore, under our
agreed procedure represent. the views of the Committee
on Overhead Reconnaissance).

3. The paper prepared by on the
subject of photographic requirements and which you saw
and initialed on Thursday morning, 15 November, was not
considered at the COMOR meeting of that date because some
of the members had not yet received their copies. However,
a special meeting of the COMOR will be held Monday mornin,;,
19 November, to consider that paper for adoption as a
COMOR guidance for future targeting.
4. You would be interested in knowing that since
the 9th or 10th of November, BRASS KNOB requirements
have been designed to secure total coverage of the island
during the week. The forepart of this week the western end
was covered fairly successfully, say on the order of 90 per
cent. However, in the eastern end, the. missions were
plagued by weather, atmospheric haze, obliquity, and other
handicaps so that coverage in that area was by no means
complete".
