Fairchild Assistant Director, Water Resources Planning Bureau of Reclamation Department of the Interior Washington, D.C. 20240 ' Thank you for your letter of July 13, 1973, concerning the proposals of the American side on developing a joint plan of scientific-technical cooperation in the field of planning and utilization of water resources. The Soviet side of the joint Soviet-American Working Group for subject I-1, "Planning and rational utilization of water resources," together with representatives of the Soviet organizations requested to cooperate, has carefully studied your proposals and concludes that the questions proposed by you niake it possible to cooperate fruitfully on the subject "Planning and development of measures for the rational exploitation of water resources." We feel that a number of questions in your list concern a narrower engineering task connected with the design and construction of individual hydrotechnical structures. These are: 9. Methods for the collection, interpretation and evaluation of-geological data used for studying and calculating foundations. 10. Methods, technology and new approach to the analysis of structures and materials used for the design and construction of water-economy objects. *DOI Waiver Letter In ERU FILE* Approved For Release 2002/03/28 : CIA-RDP79-00798A000600100049-8 Aplirovedr Release 2002/03/28.: CIA-RDP79-0i98A000600100049-8 -2- 1;1, Prediction of earthquakes, determination of their intensity, methods for determining seismicity propagation, effect of local geological conditions, and behavior of structures under seismic conditions. 12. Advanced analytical methods to determine the stability of earth dams. 13. Groundwater movement. Movement of water through the body of a dam, and, specifically, through fissured rock. Movement of regional groundwater. 14. Potential saturation of foundation materials. 15. Resistance of bedrock. 16. Evaluation of the stability of rock fill. Paragraph 8, "Subterranean water, including:storage, subterranean accumu- lation, yield, economics, exploitation schemes, modeling and control techniques," belongs to subject 1-2 which is to be studied by another working group at subsequent stages of our cooperation. I am.submitting to you a list of questions that have been discussed with the Soviet organizationsparticipating in our cooperation, and which are of interest to the Soviet side. We have endeavored to compile this list in accordance with subject I-1, and we feel that the questions included therein satisfy both sides. Besides general and methodical questions of planning and developing measures for the rational utilization of water resources, we have included in our list specific questions on the transfer of runoff between river basins based on the example of our Siberian rivers and of the comprehensive plan, developed in the U.S., for the utilization of the water resources of the North. American continent. I am also sending you, for comparison, a tabulated analysis of the.list of questions presented by the American and Soviet sides for the cooperative program. .

Science Academy Gidroproyekt Institute At the present time these organizations are preparing lists of technical literature for exchange with the American side, indicating the dates when they will be sent. We can begin the exchange of technical literature in. December 1973. I agree with you, Mr. Fairchild, that the exchange of specialists for the purpose of acquainting themselves with the various operations for the utilization and management of water resources should begin after the exchange of technical literature. Proposals as to the terms of the exchange visits will be sent you subsequently. In concluding I should like to thank you again for your letter, and I should like to express in turn the certainty that our cooperation will perform a useful service for our two countries.
