(U)  Impact  of  Cuban  Photography 
Photo  reconnaissance  operations,  as  a  result 
of  the  Cuban  situation,  were  initially  laid  on  in  early 
October  1962.   The  first  series  of  flights  produced  informa- 
tion which  unequivocally  identified  an  offensive  missile 
capability  being  developed.  Furthermore,  this  capability  was 
estimated  to  become  operational  in  a  very  short  time.   In 
addition,  considerable  ground  and  air  forces  equipment  was 
identified.   Of  great  impact  to  the  U.  3.  was  the  offensive 
threat  of  Air  Force  jet  bombers  -  IL-28,  being  assembled  at 
several  airfields.  Extensive  activity  for  island  defense  was 
quite  evident  and  reflected  detailed  preparations. 
Due  to  the  international  impact  of  such  photo 
and  the  extreme  necessity  of  detailed  informa- 
tion required  in  formulating  the  U.  S.  positions,  low  alti- 
tude photo  by  tactical  aircraft  was  needed. 
Instructions  for  operations  of  low  altitude 
photography  were  implemented  the  middle  of  October  1962. 
The  success  of  these  operations  were  overwhelming.   Large 
scale  photography  was  procured  which  categorically  identi- 
fied offensive  and  defensive  equipment  provided  by  the  Soviets 
for  the  Cuban  Government. 
The  U.  S.  Government  made  extensive  decisions 
\      for  programming  forces  for  count ermeasures  to  the  offensive
) 
) 
weapons  threat.  The  President  indorsed  the  qualitative 
aspects  of  photographic  intelligence  produced.  Such 
indorsement  was  further  manifested  by  Presidential  de- 
cision  to  simultaneously  present  selected  photo  packages 
to  various  Ambassadors  and  the  United  Nations.  This  action 
virtually  marshalled  world  opinion  toward  the  condemnation 
of  Soviet  activities  in  Cuba. 
As  an  adjunct  to  the  maritime  blockade,  sea 
surveillance  was  conducted  against  shipping.  This  provided 
long  lead  time  knowledge  to  the  various  commanders  to 
position  U.  S.  forces  for  maximum  effectiveness.  Continuous 
monitoring  by  high  and  low  altitude  photo  reconnaissance 
over  Cuba  supported  by  sea  surveillance  permitted  evaluation 
of  So^ro/Cuban  compliance  with  Soviet  decision  to  dismantle 
and  remove  offensive  capabilities. 
The  historical  impact  photo  reconnaissance  had 
on  the  decision  making  process  at  highest  government  levels 
is  of  paramount  importance.  Future  United  States  Government 
decision  will  probably  require  extensive  photo  intelligence 
inputs.  This,  in  itself,  would  indicate  the  continuing  re- 
quirement for  extensive  and  timely  photo  reconnaissance 
capability.   The  capability  will  necessarily  be  both  high 
and  low  altitude.  The  photo  product  will  have  to  be  very 
high  quality.   As  a  result  of  the  Cuban  situation,  the  above 
capabilities  are  being  further  developed  to  insure  a  dynamic 
and  comprehensive  photo j^t^fflaissance  program.

(U)  LITTLE  3AM 
The  ACS/Intelligence  published  Office  Memo- 
randum 200-6,  dated  4  September  1962,  subject  (S)  Aerial 
Defection  of  Communist  Bloc  Personnel  to  the  Continental  U.S.
) 
This  memorandum  established  and  defined  ACS/Intelligence 
-  responsibilities  and  notification  procedures  pertaining  to 
aerial  defections  of  Communist  Bloc  personnel  to  the  Contin- 
ental United  States.   These  procedures  were  assigned  the 
unclassified  nickname  of  LITTLE  SAM, 
*  (U)  Requirements 
(Confidential)   During  this  reporting  period  the  conver- 
sion to  Special  Intelligence  Collection  Requirements  (SICR) 
in  the  Priority  Air  Intelligence  Requirements  (PAIRs)  and 
Current  Air  Intelligence  Requirements  (CAXRs)  documents  was 
accomplished.  The  PAIR  documents  were  cancelled  on  IS 
September  1962;  the  CAIR  documents  on  15  October  1962. 
\      Supplement  to  CAIR-1,  Gazeteer  on  Communist  China,  is 
in  the  process  of  being  superseded.  With  the  conversion 
program  completed,  influx  of  SICRs  leveled  off.  During  this 
period,  499  USAF  SICRs  were  forwarded  to  DIA  for  validation; 
563  validated  SICRs  were  served  oil  Air  Force  collection 
elements;  and  282  SICRs  were  cancelled.  As  of  31  December 
1962,  there  were  581  SICRs  outstanding  on  AF  collectors. 
(Unclassified)   DIA  Instruction  58-7  was  published  on 
25  September  1962.  This  instruction  implemented  a  new  intelli- 
gence reporting  form  for  use  by  all  Department  of  Defense 
(DOD)  collectors  (DD  Forms  1396  and  1396c) .   ACS/Intelligence 
implementing  regulation,  AFR  200-22 f  was  published  on  7 
December  1962,  and  arrangements  were  made  to  supply  all  AF 
)      collectors  with  the  new  forms.  Also  implemented  by  this

regulation  was  a  new  Intelligence  Report  numbering  system, 
effective  1  January  1963. 
ACS/Intelligence  Office  Memorandum  14-4, 
dated  5  May  I960,  was  rescinded,  and  the  Collection 
ments  Board  (CRB)  was  abolished  as  of  7  November  1962.  Mem- 
bers of  the  CRB  were  advised  that 
problem  areas 
would  henceforth  be  handled  by  ad  hoc  meetings  and/or  re- 
ferred to  the  DIA 
Board . 
w   of  the  ACS/Intelligence  Domestic  Collection  Program 
During  the  latter  part  of  this  period,  effort 
was  directed  towards  the  consideration  o  :  ways  and  means  to 
improve  the  Domestic  Collection  Program.  The  overall  program 
was  reviewed,  project  by  project,  and  as  a  total  integrated 
effort  since,  to  an  extent,  all  projects  are  interrelated. 
While  it  was  noted  that  some  managerial  changes  would  con- 
tribute to  the  efficiency  of  the  program,  it  became  equally 
apparent  that  au\  increase  in  depth  and  scope  of  the  program 
can  only  be  achieved  by  an  increase  in  resources  (men  and 
money)  allocated  to  Domestic  Collection,  whether  by  ACS/I 
or  by  the  major  commands.  Four  specific  recommendations 
were  submitted  as  a  result  of  this  effort.  These  were:  (1) 
Increased  emphasis  on  intelligence  exploitation  by  the  major 
commands ;

reduction  in  reality  went  further  in  view  of  the  fact  that

into  this  organization .     The  only  functions  that  were  deleted
