NOTICE
Emphasis continues to be placed on the READINESS status, pace of
construction and any significant changes at the offensive missile sites in
Cuba. This report is based primarily upon detailed analysis of the 25
October low-altitude coverage (see Figure 1).°
SUMMARY
i. Detailed analysis confirms the rapid pace of construction reported
in our last supplement. As of 25 October there was no evidence indicating
any intention to halt construction, dismantle or move these sites.
2. There are no changes in the dates of estimated operational capability
for the MRBM and IRBM sites. Five of the six MRBM sites are now be-
lieved to have a full operational capability and the sixth is estimated to
achieve this status tomorrow--28 October (see Figure 2). ‘This means a
capability to launch up to 24 MRBM (1020 nm) missiles within 6 to 8 hours
of a decision to do so, anda refire capability of up to 24 additional MRBMs
Within 4 to 6 hours (see Table 1), . within

have been identified (see Table 1). Todate, we have observed a total of 33
MRBM missiles. - a

equipment have been observed to date.
