III, NATIONAL COO:iUNIST PARTIES? AND COUNTER ACTIVITY (Contvd)
(From a planning viewpoint, it would seem advisable that
the study of each national party be more or less comparable with the
studies of the rest, This would permit, for instance, an analysis of the
relative prevalence of fundamental features, and might give clues to
the variations expectable under various emerging; or prospective conditions
Because a number of individual party studies are concerned and no committee
on a single party would be responsible for drawing an outline for possible
common features of any study, it would seem wise for JIGSAW as a whole
to pass upon an outline for national parties before recoanmending priority
for any single party study. Such an outline which the Sub-Committee will
submit at a later date may be accepted for both intelligence collection
and production.)
B. Type studies and comparative series
(a) The organization of national Commimist parties -
a type study
(b) Clandestine and underground organization and activi tr -
summary comparison
(c) Capabilities and vulnerabilities of national parties in
relation to their respective national or area situations
summary comparison, utilizing especially data on capabilities
and vulnerabilities in the national party studies
(d) Inter-relations between national Communist parties
(within and outside of the framework of intertonal organizations)
