I have recestiy etudiad the hiatus of the 7bsoign ffi"oadc st
1001 wmticn 8ervine -- MC Jbzdtorlag Service joint Coor4iaetiog
0 -ittse Nesting held at COV011haa Park an 4 . as 1954. This
letter is pmosWtsd by a paragraph of the lnmrtes 6001 '1 t with the
BBC Stockholm Project fee monitoring broadcasts of the Baltic States
ail certain Soviet Regional stations oaaonitosshle at other I8= --
MC, 10 ilroilities. In eanmce, the WC status that for fiaemaial
rrasou it is Iikely that the Stockholm Project will be abandcmed
or aseduction rill be made in other radio mmitoring oovvssge. I
fully realm the importuooe Of fiasnciat 000814saUoms, but the
uoivnnl interest of intellSge ce orgenimatione of the tmited Statue
Covers--t in radio monitoring as a source of tuft nation oosg da as
to vim with ecumm any paapesed reduotLm in the scope of amitor-
img by our two services.
I belie a teat asnitorriug must be maintained on a global basis,
althoi* major attention aq be directed toward critical cress. We
all reccpmise that the struggle in which w are engaged is wwIA. wide
and that tmObls many brwmk at aadenly in remote and Mwvioualy
quiet miss. Pwthier, the monitoring of radio broadcasts to or from
pseseatly non-eitical as my provide as with indications in ne-
gard to intentions and possible aaaasom of action in critical areas.
'lSma'etore, since aoaltorins cannot be reinstituted quickly once it
has been cut off, I teal that it aonld be smrmise to eliminate or
substaatiall curtail monitoring of the less critical areas at this
time.
Ode eXpresslon of istmt on the part of the BBC Nt-itcring
Service to advise the a= of Proposed adjesiammat in its monitoring
cssmitmmte befbr MUM a'r major adze is greatly qrpreeiated.
I aba" be interested in the heat outcome of yovtia discussion.
