EST. ANALYST MANHOURS
detailed study on this subject.

We propose to -write a report of 10-15 pages length, briefly
covering the background of closed areas and travel restrictions
in the USSR, explaining the differences between de facto and de
jure restrictions on travel, and describing in more detail the
new situation, particularly as it affects attache travel.
The study would include a translation of the complete text
of the new Soviet note as an appendix, and 3 maps -- USSR: Areas
Closed to Foreigners-22 July 1966 (511.609, Aug. 1966); Travel
Restrictions in the Moscow Area (511.610, Oct. 1966); and a third,
not yet in progress, on the closed areas in the western USSR.
