See HMMA-31292, 14 March 1968, LISAMPAN/ DOG was successfully retransmitted to LIONION on 11 April 1988. [. PRODUCTION 4. Photogri ic Aspects.

During the reporting period tho LLONION opevation produced 2,700 feet of film. This film had pre- viously been processed by Headquarters but per HMMW-16106, 29. January 1968 (at our suggestion: in HMMA-33841, 17 January 1968), the film was sent. to JMWAVE for processing by the, ANOTS . After nearly a month, JMWAVE reported that the AMOTS were unable to handle this task because of the lack of facilities and qualified technicians, the inordinate amount of timo necessary to process’ it, and the fact that ‘the exploitation of the take would require such broad dissemination within and without the AMOT Organization as to jeopardize the security of the LIONION Operation (seo UFGT-21267, 13 February 1968). In view of this, Headquarters decided that it would renew the processing of the film (see HMMW-16194, 7 March 1968).
