a.. Considerable research effort was expended on Project 10.1505,
r'Soviet Military Expenditures". This included a search for Soviet
price information at the German Military Documents Section in Alex-
andria. In addition, I/WA ammunition estimates have been reevaluated
by tying ammunition production to output of artillery and small
arms. The results suggest that present ammo estimates may be too
high.
