MEMORANDUM FOR: The Honorable
William J. Casey
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
FROM: Charles Z. Wick
Director !`7"0
SUBJECT: European Public Perceptions of INF
You will be interested in the attached USIA briefing paper
based on our latest round of INF surveys.
We have found that, except in Britain, public opposition
to stationing prevails in four of the five basing
countries.
We are faced with problems, in part, because the general
public is either unaware of or unwilling to accept a
number of the basic assumptions inherent in our INF policy.
At the same time, European publics tend to perceive our
arms reduction negotiating efforts as sincere and clearly
favor the President's interim proposal over the second
Andropov proposal.
