MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director for National Foreign Assessment
Chairman, National Intelligence Council
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Soviet Approach to Arms Transfers
I view as important this request from Frank Carlucci (attached)
with respect to analysis of the Soviet approach to arms transfers. It
will need more than OER statistics. You will have to get t'nto questions
of purpose, delivery, training, maintenance, etc. Indeed, I think it
should reach out and relate arms transfers to the whole question of
Soviet effort to penetrate the Third World as developed in the OPA
