This special EIC survey listing was undertaken on a "crash" basis
in accordance with instructions of the Chairman, EIC and as agreed among
the IAC members of the EIC on 8 August. It is being given limited
distribution for general reference purposes. Contributions have been
received from the Departments of Air Force, Agriculture, Army, Interior
and State; the Export-Import Bank of Washington; and the Central
Intelligence Agency.
This listing includes studies of the immediate Suez Canal controversy,
estimates of the effects of possible interference with certain commodity
trade moving through the Near East (primarily POL and certain bulky
agricultural products and raw materials), and background studies on the
economic situation of selected Near East and Asian countries likely to be
affected by the outcomes of the present controversy. Analyses or listings
of military and logistical installations in this part of the world, and
a selection of maps showing the principal resources and facilities, have
also been included. Material has been listed by subject, and thereunder
by region and alphabetically by country.
External research projects included in this listing were compiled
by the External Research Staff of the Department of State as a service
to the intelligence community. This Staff has also compiled a list of
projects based on the catalog of social science research on foreign areas
from information furnished by private scholars throughout the country.
A private address or university affiliation is shown, when available,
following the name of the author.
In all cases, requests for projects listed in this survey should be
addressed to the producing or sponsoring agency and channeled through the
appropriate liaison office in the requestor's agency.

Note Before the report dated 24 March 1952
was issued, several similar reports were issued
to A,M,C t starting in 1946 - exact titles and
contents are not listed because copies are not
available in Interior files. As each report
brings the "availability" information up--to-

current interest. In addition to analytical
data in reports above, analyses of crud.es from
practically all important producing fields are
available in Bureau Publications or as indi-
vidual analyses in Branch Files.
