" I he Soviet Civi 1 Ik f: r.se Pro star?"
The NFIB reps r)Ct yesterday to review the unclassified
draft (USAF did not attend).
There seemed to be serious reservations about releasing an
unclassified draft at this t.i.r.e, particularly with State, US.W
and An`a'. StatC' ? reaction, which seems reasonable, is to delay
the release until Vance has co:-lplete i his Soviet trip. The oth r
reservations are based in part on release of broad conclusions
based on quick analysis of fra.;mcnta2-v data.
The Ill,`aior substantive L}'.'T;_n was in regard to the shelter
statistics c :trapola n _. : ?om the Th reps felt
those data could be misused and didn't. add much to public under-
standing "of the program. They also felt the language used expressed
the lack of intelligence information currently available on the
shelter issu :,.
I believe that the editorial. changes made by the reps would
be acceptable to the Admiral. The change that will. probably
bother him appears on pages 5-6 of the draft. sent out for co-
ordination. This change principally is the deletion of the
statistics with the only number in the revised draft being a
judgment tl.iat "a maxims, of 7'0 of the urban population could he
housed . . . in shelters."
The reps would like the revised draft taken up at the NFIB
meeting on Monday.

15 April 1977
It was mentioned by Paul Walsh this
morning at the 9 o'clock meeting that INR/
State is approaching Vance to get him to
request that you not publish your unclassified]
Soviet Civil Defense paper.
You can see from my 25 March memo to
you (attached), second page, that State did
have reservations prior to the NFIB on
28 March. But, you will recall that at the
NFIB, the only objections came from General
Tighe and the Air Force. Our records show
no objection from the State Rep at that
meeting.
I personally see no reason why we
shouldn't publish this unclassified document.
This is a heads-up memo, so you can prepare
your response to Vance if and when he brings
it up.
