  <description>This film shows the keynote address from the groundbreaking 1995 conference, &quot;Piercing the Curtain: Corona and the Revolution in Intelligence,&quot; about the US&#039;s first photo-reconnaissance (spy) satellite program. 

The keynote address is delivered by Albert Wheelon, formerly the first Deputy Director for Science and Technology at the CIA and the primary architect of the Corona Program.

The film was recently released due to a Mandatory Declassification Review request, and was digitized and posted by The Memory Hole. For more info and films from the conference, see
