with the press inquiries regarding the Helms memorandum to General

I advised Jack Perry, of the Council on Inv'ironment ua i, that since Senator

memorandum on Oil and Gas Development in Siberia, he might as well go ahead
and make the memorandum available to the Senator and retrieve it from him as
soon as it was feasible to do so. I told him he could also suggest to Stevens
that if he was interested, we would be glad to have several of our people meet
with him to brief him further on this subject. Perry said he would proceed

SUBJECT Romanian Trade in Selected Agricultural
Products and Machinery
1. Enclosed are the tables showing Romanian trade
figures for agricultural products and machinery. Romanian
currency was converted to U.S.$ using the foreign-exchange
rate prevailing at the given year.
2. The Romanian yearbook series has many gaps in
data. Imports of grains, except rice, are not listed;
only during the 1970 flood, however, is there any
indication that significant imports took place. Additionally,
commodity breakdowns are not available for trade in
agricultural machinery except the export of tractors, a
product the Romanians push.
3. If you have any questions or are in need of
further data please feel free to let me know. My extension
