MEMORANDUM FOR : The Intelligence Advisory Committee
SUBJECT : Recommendation for a National Intelligence
Estimate on Resistance in the Sino-Soviet Bloc
1. In light of the major developments of significance to resistance
potential in Communist countries, the Resistance Intelligence Committee
recommends that the IAC direct the preparation of a revised National
Intelligence Estimate on anti-Communist resistance potential in the
Sino-Soviet bloc. The RIC recommends that this NIE be initiated in the
fourth quarter of 1957 and that it be produced, like the previous NIE on
resistance (NIE 10-55), in two parts: a general evaluation of the bloc-
wide situation, and, as appendices, a series of separate statements for
each country in the Sino-Soviet bloc which the IAC would simply take
note of and whose coordination would be left to the working-level group.
2. In submitting this proposal the RIC has taken into considera-
tion the IAC's decision with regard to the previous recommendation of
the RIC on August 7, 1956 for an NIE on resistance. The RIC considers
that ME 12-57, while it touches on the resistance situation in Eastern
Europe, provides too generalized a treatment to meet the specific
needs of the intelligence community for agreed conclusions on resistance
in the Sino-Soviet bloc.
