SUBJECT: Racloyment of the MOL Photographic Product 

As you know, a no:ninAl photo mission of the MOL/DORIAN 

system will deliver as much as 17,600 feet of 9i-inch film in 

a 30-day period. During the rt2nned mode of operation, there 

may be a daily output from the readout system that will be 

small in quantity but possibly high in intelligence content 

and hence high in priority. Processing methods and times may 

impact on retargeting decisions during the 30-day period. 

I assume that the responsibility for all processing 

operations subsequent to the delivery of the exposed film will. 

beassigned, as at present„ to the NRO. The MOL Program Office 

is taking no action relative to the photo processing flow or 

equipment. There may be some problems in the processing field 

unique to the MOL system. We 'shall be glad to provide you 

with any information on this saject that you may wish but it 

is presumed that your office will take any required action 

in this area.

MEMORANDUM FOR GENERAL EVANS 

SUBJECT: Employment of the MOL Photographic Product 

This is in reply to your memorandum of 7 November 1966. 

I concur that the NRO should assume responsibility for processing and 

reproducing all MOL-generated reconnaissance film other than film segments 

which may be on-board processed. 

• 

I assume that the MOL Program Office will be responsible for developing 

processing and other handling equipments requisite to on-board processing 

of film. When such film is eventually recovered, I assume it would be delivered along with the unprocessed film to a designated NRP Production Center for post-treatment and reproduction under NRO auspices. 

In this connection Captain Robert A. Koch, USN, will serve as the NR( 

Staff representative to your program office in all matters dealing with film 

products, post-flight film reproduction and analysis.
