Dear Jim,
As discussed at today's NFIB meeting, I have asked the National
Foreign Assessment Center to consolidate these two papers, one on the
state of the Soviet economy and the other on the dependence of the
specific sectors of the Soviet economy on Western inputs. While these
papers are being consolidated, I would appreciate any inputs, suggestions,
or criticisms you or your organization may have for improving the range
and quality of information expressed in these papers. Please send your
comments to of the Office of Soviet Analysis
at CIA, by _IDirector
er 1981.
As discussed at our meeting, the attached material will be published
as a document supplementary to but independent of SNIE 3/11-4-81, Dependence
of Soviet Military Power on Economic Relations with the West, which I
approved today.
Attachments:

Economy and the Role of
