1. The book. ~~The; Great Ten Years. (Statistics of, Economic and
Cultural. Achievement)~t, writteri~ in? the Chfnese, language, that you
recently sent to the D~xector of ,Central Intelligence is potentially
a very valuable ? document. We? w~ould?'2ike to include much 3nfomaation
from this docvmsnt?in Chapter FI of the National 7nte71igence Survey
on Communist `China; oontributions'?tb.important economic sections of
the survey are due in April. and Augast of this,year.? Infoiviation from
the document is also needed for other si icarit studies?on the
. B~'. .
development of the Chinese Communist, eaonom~y. The top secret classifica-
tion you have assigned tiiis_document unfortunately limits, severely tlie" ,
uses to which we may put information from it; we cannot;.for?instance, ?
use ?the ?info=inatign in the National ,Intelligence Survey on .Commnunist
China, whioix i.s? classified secret. We .request, therefore, that you :give f
your approva3?to downgrade the document to a classification no. greater, I
than secret; We will insure through the use of controls that informa-
tion taken from the docuaiant and` incorporated iit finished intelligence

2. We further request?that you approve the publication by our ,
~'oreign? Documents Division of an Engl3.sh translation of this docuument;
tlis source of the document will 'of ~ ciiii~se not be disclosed, and the
docwaent will be olassified nSECRET/NOF'ORNTt to prevent, its being

3. In connection with .this .bequest ws want to point out? that we
believe yov,r source, will,'be fullyTprotected. An3- one of several.
foreign diplomats itt Communist Chins or the sconoctists 'of Soviet satel-
lite states' who frequently visit China oould have gotten the doctmdent,
We ?think'this is plausible because the document may be purchased in
Communist China for three'~Chinese do3lars, and because the docwaent
apparently .has already reached the western world through other ?c ann""e~.s, ?~-''
