MEMORANDUM FOR: Mr. Wheaton Byers
Executive Secretary..
The President's Foreign Intelligence
Advisory Board
13 September 1974
SUBJECT The Soviet Image of the U.S.
Office of Political Research. It reflects, as you will see,
an attempt to look at the U.S. and Soviet relationship through
Soviet eyes to set the stage for better understanding of the
general world view which shapes specific Soviet policies and
decisions on matters of great bilateral interest, e.g., SALT.
1. Attached is a paper (with the above title) which the
DCI commissioned and has sent to the President and. the mem-
bers of both the NSC and the WSAG in the hope that this piece
may contribute to an understanding of and stimulate further
reflection on the way the Soviets look at the United States.
I was re ared under the aegis of the NIO for Soviet Affairs
I I and drafted primarily by of CIA's25X1
2. The DCI has already sent copies to Admiral Anderson
and to Governor Rockefeller in the latter's capacity as a
member of the PFIAB. If you think other members would also
like to have separate copies, please let me know. I can
either send them directly or give you a sufficient number
for you to relay.
