MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director (Science and Technology)
SUBJECT: Use of 112A Camera
1. The mission on 13 October over Cuba has been
reported. 24 out of 41 targets were collected against.
2. COMOR recommended on last Friday that a mission
be accomplished against the remaining targets. That mission has
not yet been reported.
3. The Photo Working Group at its meeting on
22 October will assess what targets in addition to those originally
recommended should now be covered in the light of the performance
of the camera.
4. At the board meeting last Wednesday, the Director
raised the question of making a photographic mosaic of Cuba with
the 112A. In view of the fac that the swath width is only 17 miles,
the use of the camera for such a mosaic would not be -'n order
because we can tell from the B configuration whether, indeed, any
cultural development is going on and, therefore, be in a position
to judge whether additional photography with the 112A is justified.
However, I will check this opinion of mine with the COMOR at a
special meeting that I am holding tomorrow, 22 October, at 10 a. in.
situation in Cuba.
5. I have asked the Photo Working Group to provide by
cob 22 October or as soon thereafter as possible a selection of targets
in three priorities which the community will consider to be candidates
for the use of 112A in the Far East. This then will be discussed on
Thursday at COMOR in terms of whether we would recommend moving
the 1.12A to the Far East, both in the light of those priorities and the
Overhead Reconnaissonce .
