needs cannot be met in the same way or to the same extent that
they are fulfilled in posts in free-world countries. The U.S.
Missions, therefore, have been informed that they.are not ex-
pected to provide analytical reports per se, but should endeavor
to provide as many of the details as are available which make
such analysis possible.

Collation consequently sponsored the preparation of a Guide to
Economic Reporting, USSR, dated A,:;ril 30, 1953. Similar guides

Travel Program recently initiated in the Satellites. Foreign
Service Officers are provided with briefing and training facilities
