MEMORANDUM FOR: National Intelligence Officer for USSR/EE
FROM: Director of Central Intelligence
SUBJECT: Intelligence Assessment - Strategic Defense Initiative
1. The first two pages of this excellent roundup by OSWR
suggests to me why the Soviets are pushing so hard on space talks.
The range and intensity of the propaganda campaign against SDI laid
out in pages 12 to 18 may be worth a sentence or two in your SNIE.
