THE TECHNICAL INTELLIGENCE DIVISION
MONTHLY REPORT FOR JUNE 1964
TID
1. The workload for June showed a sharp increase and was
well above the average for this calendar year. This was due to
the input of two successful KH-4 "J" Missions. The actual number
of projects received in June decreased; however, the large number
of man-hours required to handle new inputs resulted in an esti-
mated backlog at the end of the month of 7,636 man-hours as com-
pared with 6,544 in May and the 1964 average of 5,914. In addition,
TID expended 6,620 man-hours (1,387 was 0.T.) on projects in June
as compared to 4,987 man-hours (460 was 0.T.) in May. Of the
total project time, 83% was devoted to National and 17% to Support
projects.
2. During June, TID hosted 27 visitors, some of which were
here several days or made repeated visits. These visits were
concerned with special projects in work, mission attitude reduction
and PET studies.
TAB
1. The above normal workload occasioned by the four KH-4
inputs was aggrivated by time reduction difficulties and the dual,
independent determination of attitude undertaken on Mission 1006
to test and compare horizon versus stellar methods. However,
during June a giant step forward was made when the new horizon
attitude reduction computer program was successfully utilized.
This program eliminates a substantial portion of the hand opera-
tions necessary, thus reducing the man hours required by some
60 percent. Despite the heavy burden of handling the inputs, TAB
managed to devote sufficient workerfort on national PI projects
to prevent a build-up of backlog; however, the volume of new
photography is expected to result in increased requests for PI
mensuration support.

2. A significant milestone was achieved by the use of the
NRI, with its on-line real time response, in providing all measure-
ments for the last four OAKs. The reliability of measurements
achieved, the quick response, and the ability for joint PI-photo-
grammetrist selection of pointings via the NRI projected image
all contribute to improved OAK support.
3. A total of 576 hours of instrument time, including 53 on
the NRI, was logged in June-compared with 310 hours in May, only
7 of which were on the NRI. Likewise, 58,795 instrument pointings
were made as compared to 26,541 in May. Projects received and
completed were about equally divided between national and support.
TSB
1. The branch worked on 39 missions, old and new, including
18 Golden Trees, 11 Lazy Daisys, five K1I-4, two KH-7, and three
"G" detachment training missions. A total of 440 man hours was
spent at Eastman Kodak in the editing, breakdown, and titling of
missions.
2. NRO's establishment of a KH-4 PET to report on each mission
accounted for a portion of the large number of visitors. Support
of this PEJJ effort will become a significant TSB activity, requiring
considerable man-hours. In addition, two Hycon representatives
spent a week in TSB reviewing Talent "B" photography.
3. The photo mosaic index backlog was eliminated. A total of
5,725 mosaics have been prepared and turned over to CSD.
4. TSB received an unusually large number of requests for
statistical coverage data in June; All KH-4 and KH-7 data has
been prepared for computer processing and a format developed for
publishing a comprehensive statistical report in July.
