Dear Bill:
In NSC's continuing review of the Yamal gas
pipeline, we would be grateful for the Agency's
assistance in providing t~nicai and pns~+n Pr~*+~
p.nalysi_of this project. In particular, it would
be helpful if the Agency could develop data bases
and a ph sical simulation mode e -p-ra,pased
p.e, inc u ing both construction and operational
problems likely to be_encountered. Various pipeline
routes and alternate vendors for the main elements
of the project should be spelled out, along with
.cost and time scheduling estimates for the pipeline
and its construction phases. I understand that
"SOVA," the Office of Imagery Analysis, and the
Office of Global Intelligence are staffed for this
anwix P,1. a .
I know that this is a substantial analytic
undertaking, but it is one that will be most helpful
for continuing policy work. We would like to have
this as soon as feasible; NSC staff would be pleased
to meet with your analysts if that would be helpful
Sincerely,
2511X1
The Honorable William J. Casey
