Approved r Release 2002/10/22 : CIA-RDP80BO166R001200060084-3 20 April 1955 MEMORANDUM FOR: The Director of Central Intelligence SUBJECT: Soviet Data Concerning U.S. Armed Forces 1. We are submitting herewith two reports containing information on the U.S. Armed Forces which is known to be in the possession of the Soviet Government. 2. The reports contain information falling in the following categories: a. Soviet intelligence targets in Western Germany b. U.S. troop disposition in Western Germany c. Miscellaneous data on U.S. Armed Forces personnel and equipment d. Charts and diagrams on the organization and tactics of U.S. Army units 3. Much of the information in the reports appears to be the sort obtainable from overt publications, but we feel that only the Department of the Army can fully assess the significance of it. Because of the sensitivity and limited interest value of these reports, we do not plan formal dissemination of them. We are submitting them, therefore, for -forwarding to General Trudeau under personal covering letter from you. 25X1 Chief o Operations, DD/P 3 Attachments 1 - Ltr. for Gen. Trudeau 2 - Report, Sov.
