and advanced study of the Armed. Forces, economic structure, political
structure, topography, psychology and sociology of the Soviet Union
and contiguous areas in Northern, Central and Southern Europe. The
aim of this pray-ram, now five years old, is to produce officers -wfio
understand the Soviet Union, Its peoples and its primary language
and who will have adequate background to make sound decisions and
estimates on the capabilities, limitations and potentials of the
Soviet Union and contiguous areas. State has participated in this
program over the past four years.

probably have a few slots for participation in the program commencing

interested and able to spare qualified persons to participate. If
these returns show that CIA can provide suitably qualified personnel,
and I do have favorable preliminary assurance of this, formal action
will be taken to lay on our participation.
