MEMORANDUM FOR: Dr. Henry A. Kissinger
Assistant to the President
for National Security. Affairs
.44.?
SUBJECT : New Satellite Photography of North Vietnam
1. At the WSAG meeting of 7 August, you requeked that we
provide you with an analysis of the next satellite photography of
Nerth Vietnam, as soon as such photography was received in
Washin ton. The attached memorandum is in res onse to that re uest.
' 25X1::
2. This memorandum has been prepared by the Central
Intelligence Agency and has not been coordinated with other intelligence
agencies.
25X1
the entral nte ligence Agency and the Department of Defense draw
somewhat different conclusions from this photography on the subject of
t? North Vietnamese imports of military equipment. The DOD believes that
the photography provides fairly convincing evidence that North Viet-
nam has recently received at least some military equipment from the
USSR or China. CIA analysts believe that the evidence does not allow
so strong a judgment, and that while there is a 50 percent probability
that military equipment has been newly imported into North Vietnam,
there is also a 50 percent probability that the equipment has been in-
side the country for some months, perhaps since before 28 January.
the attached memorandum, it is the CIA view which is expressed.

3. Except on this question of military imports, working level
discussions between CIA analysts and those in the Defense Intelligence
Agency have revealed no significant differences on other aspects of
the new photography.
