suBJECT: Comments on OSI "Think Piece" on Soviet Intentions and
Purposes at the Administrative Radio Conference, Geneva
1. As requested in your memo of 2 October 1959, subject
paper has been reviewed by the pertinent branches of the
Industrial Division.
2. The following comments, submitted by I/AR, are keyed
to material appearing on page 4, I. AERONAUTICAL, Discussion:
a. Second paragraph, fourth sentence - Suggest omitting
"Other heavy jet", since the only jet transport identified
to date is the TU-104, and rewriting as follows :
"Turbo-prop aircraft, after a period of intensive testing,
are now entering service on domestic routes."
b. Second paragraph, fifth sentence - Suggest rewriting
to emphasize that Soviet airports are being greatly increased
in number and only a relative few are being improved.
c. Third paragraph, third sentence - This sentence
conflicts with ORR's preliminary appraisal of Khrushchev's
theses on Seven Year Soviet Economic Plan (1959-1965) which
states under category TRANSPORT:
"Although the Soviet civil air fleet continues to be publicized
and the new civil air plans include the construction and
improvement of 90 airfields, presumably to accommodate jet
aircraft, the planned target for passengers carried for 1965
in (sic) only about one-third as great as the number US
71
airlines may be expected to carry that year
3. Other reviewing branches - I/EE and I/GM - have no comments
on the paper. 25X1A9a
