Validity Study of ME 36.1-55:
The Outlook for Egyptian Stability and Foreign Policy,
published 15 November 1955
The estimates contained in NIE 36.1-55 have held up well in
view of the many dramatic events that have occurred since the
paper was published. The estimate failed to anticipate the vigor
and determination with which the Soviets have pressed their
campaign to develop their position in Egypt. It did not discuss the
possibility of nationalization of the Suez Canal.
