Present:
25X1A9a
Four FDD linguists met with the EuSat Caaarittee an 15 August for
the purpose of discussing procedural problems and substantive
satellite developments which are of mutual interest to FDD and ORR
personnel. Those attending from FDD were 25X1A9a
25X1 A9a representing Czecboslovakia and and
25X1 A9a representing Poland. 25X1A9a
The principal point of interest developed in the meeting, from
the standpoint of the FM exploitation effort, was that the satellite
linguists had recently been directed to concentrate their activity on
certain fields rather than attempt to cover the whole gamut of economic
inforeaation. Economic services were not included in these limited
fields and, while services are not to be ignored in the translation
effort, D/S will receive less than has been supplied heretofore.
The FDD representatives stated that Poland and Czechoslovakia
are showing a definite tendency to officially release more economic
data. This tendency was particularly evident in Poland.
When asked for their views of significant economic developments
in the two countries under consideration, the FDD representatives
noted a number of points of interest. Among them was the observation
that, with respect to CF.MA, Czechoslovakia appeared to have been given
responsibility for engineering industries. Mr. noted that, 25X1 A9a
in Poland, officials evidently were seriously concerned about certain
basic problems of the worker such as wages and unemployment.
