The images were used to produce maps and charts for the Department of Defense and other Federal Government mapping programs. President Clinton signed an Executive Order on 24 February 1995, directing the declassification of intelligence imagery acquired by the first generation of United States photo-reconnaissance satellites, including the systems code-named CORONA, ARGON and LANYARD.
