Generally speaking, because overt manifestations of United
States policy have a direct effect on CIA covert operations, it is
imperative that the U. S. adopt a firer attitude toward the Soviet
Goverment and pursue a ere aggressive policy, which would force the
Soviets to resort to defensive rather than offensive tactics.
There is a requirement for a now national strategy determined
by top national military, economic? and diplomatic planners on the basis
of feasible and practical allocation of world-she U. S. military and
economic resources.
Develop a policy providing responsibility for planning and
executing strategic deception plans and operations in the promulgation
of the national psychological warfare programs.
B. Inter~? c~?ncv P,~- i as s
It should be emphasized as a policy that covert program
cannot conceivably operate unilaterally with air expectation of success,
and accordingly, CIA's covert capability should not be considered a
determining factor in devising U. S. strategy or in developing U. S.
programs in pursuance of that strategy.
Clear-.cut policy guidance on certain basic problems is required,
such as the extent to which preclusive burring operations my be employed,
or resort nade to sabotage, or violence, as instrumnts of control..
C. Ind AM= P,,i ie s
The following CIA proposed programs are subject to clarification
of certain policy questions:
Intensification of effort to locate the sources and individ-
uals involved in illegal East-West trade.
An intensive propaganda campaign designed to publicize,
discredit, and intimidate Western participants in'illegal
East-West trade.

There is a need for a forceful, positive, and Imaginative
policy in the political field which will provide:
i. A reinvigorated Western Europe;
2. A continuation of U. S. military and economic aid to
Western Europe;
3. Closer political, economic, social, and cultural ties
among the Atlantic and European powers.
The U. S. Government would enhance its. national psychological
warfare ? programs if it provided policy guidance for political, military,
and economic leadership in those evolutionary movements engaged in
developing the political and economic integration of European States
and the preservation of peace and secuarit r0

Public statements by the U. S. regarding its policy toward
Polish and Czechoslovakian problems are needed.
The most significant obstacle to the successful oonduet of
covert cold war activities in Western Germny is the incipient sovereignty
of the German Federal Republic and the absence of U. S. policy guides
defining our position with respect to this republic.
25X1 C R' inter-age Po~te,t
Official U. S. diplomatic policies should stress to the Swiss
people that Swiss national self-interest requires closer cooperation with
the West in the cold war.
