MEMORANDUM FOR: The Honorable Donald Regan
Chief of Staff to the President
SUBJECT: PRAVDA Cartoons
Pictures can tell what they're thinking about and
how they're being conditioned in Moscow. Here are the
political cartoons which appeared in PRAVDA during a
two-week period in mid-August. Of the twelve cartoons,
only one is on a domestic subject. Uncle Sam is a villain
in all the rest.
You might send a set in to the Boss.
