Sorry for the delay -- I lost my
programmer to school and then I
was off for several weeks.
Attached is a dump of the tape,
but it wasn't as easy as previously
thought. The operator (programmer)
had to sit at a terminal and manual
delete all the format codes. If
we go this route, I'll need a
person from either State or your
staff to do the same. Give me a
call.

SOVIET _JATY1II G OF' Intensive studies have been tinder way over
V(~:ICE (.)FA:~iERICA the past year to determine the most effect-
ive means whereby the US. may counteract
Soviet jamming and penetrate the Iron Curtain through the
Voice of America. The special staff group considering these
problems is chaired by State and includes representation from
Defense, Federal Communications ~' omr; i sf i.on, Central intelli-
gence Agency, other appropriate Departments and agencies, ~,~rts
has utilized the assistance of private groups. Strong f
are boin ; made to line up recommendations for submission to
the National Security Council early in 1051. The studies are
closely r dated to the national directive on US foreign inaor.m3.-
tion policy and psychological warfare planning, which requires
the ready.adaptation of
emer-
needs of propaganda in time of nationaliemer-
program
gency or w, r.
The group concerned with the problems relating to jamming
is considering specificall.y: l)' the development of means to
penetrate jamming; 2) measures which might induce or compel
the USSR to discontinue its jamming of the Voice of America;
and 3) the ramifications of any effective measures taken by
the US on either score.

The satisfaction of the Voice of America needs raises
questions of security and our national and international
tel~)cor:;munication policy. The interplay of our Voice of
America problem with our total telecommunication problem is
exemplified by evidence that- the USSR is utilizing existi n,,
Voice of America efforts as a proving ground for the devel o_ -?
ment of their own communication and. jamming techniques. This
includes the training of large numbers of person?gel, and.
Soviet investigation of our capability of taking coi nt;r-m,
There is the danger that continuation of the Voice of America
efforts to penetrate the Soviet area may involve the US in
a counter-jamming war in all governmental and commercial
fields of communications. Because of these factors and the
requirerrmnts of other essential communication and intelligence
progral.Is as well as related, international telecommunication
problems, it has been difficult to obtain a sufficiently high
priority for meeting Voice of America requirements on all
fronts..
