II. Proposed Effect
Recision of overflight and landing
(a)
To disrupt the p,rsuit of vital
rights for Soviet and satellite
commercial interests,.including
air-carrierz in Western SCuropeau
opportunities for evasior. of
nations
Western export controls and
outright smuggling;
(b) To har`rer Bloc intelligence a^Mi
propaganda operations, including
procurement of new used by
satellite radio stations the
same day;
(c) To derive diplomatic advantages
from the psychological effect
of lose of a coveted privilege
by satellite(s) because of
Western e once to Soviet.

III. Prio ity and Timing
Lends itself to most irmtedt to imposi~
tion of all trn-n.sport countermeasures
Some Western European states right be
prepared to take prorpt unilateral
action to enforce this measure. If
its applicability in the Berlin
sitw,tion could be discussed in
advaric e, e. g. in CCCO 1", several
states might proceed on a multi-
partite basis, being thus assured
of simultaneity of control imposition
and some provision for mutrra.1 supports
Broader aerial transport controls
could also be initiated thz ou ,
general or functional intarnwtional
organizations, particularly in view
of the 'quasi-judicial powers con-
tained in the ICAO agreements. But
it appears doubtful that non GOCOr
members of ICAO would countenance
vigorous anti-Bloc action, and
resultant dissension within such
an international body might injure

IV. Pre1 ntnary Bvalua,tiou
The Soviet and satellite n-var of
nerves", which is being con
ducted continually against
Western aircraft, may be in
part an effort to forestall any
adverse Western rearrangements
in 'ax'op eat air traft i r , R?-
cent Soviet measures have taken
the form of interference with
US, U:L, and French eomr`.oreial
aircraft over Soviet-Zone
corridors, and the harasent
of Belgian commercip-11 aircraft
on routine scheduled flight
over Czech territory.
An example of the tie of action
which the Bloc does not with
to see reheated or extended is
the denial by the US and L:
to the Czech CS&, on 10 Septem-
ber 1951, of the right to
overfly Western Germany.
France supported, and the
Netherlands and Belgium con
cm'r 3, in, this :Hove in retal-
iation against Czech treatment
of Western nationals.
