(t) From The Archives
(t://411-111 I)oes the Devil Wear Pravda?
(U/ ) The following is excerpted from a 1953 Information Report on liv
to foreign broadcasts in the USSR:
standards, political conditions, and reaction
(U//AIU ) Within the Moscow regiort it was generally tnic that the availability of consumer goods varied inversely vith the
distance from Moscow. This applied not only to certain ms, as might be expected, but also to some standard food
products, such as meat and butter. It was equally true understandably, that there was a far greater selcclion of shoes and
clothing items in Moscow stores than in Krasnogorsk. A few articles previously abundant, especially butter and meat, became
scarce items after 1950 in Krasnogorsk. Poor quality textile goods of Soviet manufacture were always available in
Krasnogorsk. However, it was noteworthy that the tc.xtilc products most in demand �verc goods imported from the satellite
countries: Czechoslovakian shoes, Bulgarian cloth, German shoes and cloth. The quality of these goods was uniformly better
than Soviet products of comparable prices. These import goods were immediately sold out \\then placed on sale.
(U//AIU ) The Soviet population vas satisfied in general vith present-day living conditions. Under the influence of
government propaganda, they appeared confident that their living standard would continue to increase. This satisfaction was
undoubtedly the result of isolation from the Western world. The average Soviet citizen knew nothing of life in Western
Europe and thus had no real basis for comparison in judging living conditions at home. Several discharged soldiers and
soldiers on leave from Germany described living conditions there in glowing terms. However, these impressions �verc quickly
forgotten once a soldier returned home and readjusted himself to Soviet society. Undoubtedly Party officials prevented such
individuals from praising living in the West, if they were inclined to do so.
(L3/77117t+t Most Soviet radio owners verc interested in and listened to radio broadcasts from the West. They �yerc
particularly concerned that the short-wave reception of their radios be adjusted or improved. Other Soviet radio owners had
heard about living conditions in the West from Soviet soldiers \Hi� had served in Germany. These soldiers had claimed that
every German worker was a capinnist, as they were so well clothed and frequently owned their own houses. These reports
aroused the curiosity of many. They wished to hear with their own cars about living conditions abroad. These radio owners
also mentioned an interest in international affairs as their motive for listening (.0 Western broadcasts. They wished above all
to receive any information from thc West concerning the possibility of a new �vorld \var.
(L3/74ri�C.'ornmeni: To better emulate the West, Soviet propagandists probably just needed a catchyadvertising
campaign, maybe something like "... the devil years Pravda." Do you think?

(U//7t11444- From the National Archives
((1/7-11110) More Congresst al Oversight .Hell No.'
(L//*4�4444 In a box of Army documents there is a letter dated 6 January 1956 from DCI Dulles to the Execulive Secretary of
the NSC in which the Director provides his comments on proposed resolutions to establish a Joint" Congressfo
on Foreign Inielligence While nonng that they differ in some detail, the Director observes, All of the resolutions authorize
the Joint Committee to hold hearings, subpoena �vitnesses and documents, etc.: and all of them empower the Committee to
appoint such staff as it may determine to be necessary in order to carry out its function."
(L//AIU0) Dulles expresses his adamant opposaion to the creation of the Joint Committee, that current mechanisms
in place "keep the appropriate Committees quite completely informed as to the activities of CIA...and provide the basis for
necessary authorizations and appropriations." Dulles offers a number of reasons�Security, Relationship Between the
Executive and Congress, the Jurisdictional Problem: and the Nilembership Problem�in arguing at length against the Joint
Committee. He \yarns solemnly, "Thc establishment of a separate Congressional Committee whose only functions relate to
the conduct of foreign intelligence activities would inevitably mean a closer scartiny by a much broader membership of the
Congress of the activincs of the USG in this field."
(1.11) Comment: Given today's seem
SSCI and HPSCI, Dullcs's concerns seem tri
boundless scartiny of CIA (and the rest of the liii e llience Commuf by
But, the firmness and sincerity of his views still resonate clearly 50
later: despite the now-archaic reasoning upon which his arguments are based.

(U//,A+Fter This thermometer chart provides a measure of completeness against the s of CIA records dated 19X2
that must be completed by 31 December 2007 to avoid automatic declassification (the order covers permanent records only
and this deadline includes only CIA hardcopy textual records---no media). In this case, the thermometer goes through 31
December 2007. The chart reflects data current through 09 January 2007.
(U/ ) The first two thermometers measure progress against certification for material being processed manually (for
accession to NARA or exemption) or via automated system (for delivery on CREST). The third thermometer measures overall
progress (manual � automated). As in other "Thermo" charts, the targets are above the thermometer: the current pages
processed to date ("production") is provided below the thermometer: the height of the thermometer represents pages

and their impact on exploitation of our data. PNNL has also started testing analytical tools and collection of open-source data
related to the Carter era that may contribute towards a Mosaic of concern when combined with the Carter Library dataset.
