'MEMORANDUM l
THE WHITE HOUSE
May 9, 1972
11:00 a. m.
The President has ordered that we get reconnaissance pictures
and film of the ships leaving Haiphong Harbor, footage of the
ships turning around prior to reaching the harbor and pictures
of ships with tanks, equipment and supplies on deck.
We are to start taking these pictures at dawn which is four
hours from now, and should consider the use of magnesium
night flare pictures. If there is any problem with this, Bob
wants to be notified immediately.
Special arrangements should be made to get the pictures and
film to me at the White House at the earliest possible time.
