(Interest here is not in detailed reporting of ship movements,
but in definitions of the routes and the types of,vessels em-
ployed in each, in order to assess the validity of such state-
ments as, "Soviet interest is in small not large vessels, since
the former are the type needed for Baltic fleet.")
2.. Employment of Soviet Bloc fleet in the Far East ("historical"
and present). There have been various reports of a shift in
the pattern of this shipping.

provisions, etc.). Extent of Soviet Moe dependence on this
servicing., with details on the nature and value, as available.

1. Importance of sea transport in connection with trade with the
West,, trade within the Soviet Bloc.
Importance of sea transport with respect to particular
commodity movement problems, e.g., movement of oil to the
Far East.
NOTE: If it is at all feasible to forward, in preliminary versiona the
`akaysis of each section as it is completed, it would be greatly appreciated,
since this entire problem is under current active consideration.

Securit Ix:'D_ation
One of the most critical deficiencies of the intelligence community and.,
indeed, of t'e entire United States Government, is the lack of any comprehensive
understanding of the pattern of all the Government research programs in the
field,of foreign economic intelligence. The need for a review of these programs
and an evaluation of their rationale has been recognized repeatedly by the National
Security Council. In outlining CIA$s responsibilities.in this field (NSCID 15)
the NSC directs CIA to:
Government-Wide Sure y of Economic Research Proms on the
General Background
"Maintain a continuing review of the requirements of the United
States Government for foreign economic intelligence relating to the
national security., and of the facilities and arrangements available
to meet these requirements., making from time to time such recommendations
to the National Security Council concerning improvements as may require
National Security Council action."..
In concurring with the establishment of the Economic Intelligence Comni.ttee
the entire intelligence commnunity underlined the NSC concern with this problem
by directing the EIC, through its terms of reference to:
"Examine continuing programs of funda-.mental economic research
relating to the national security throughout the United States Govern-
ment and recpmmend to the IAC for appropriate action allocation of
responsibility for specific fields of inquiry where such allocation
appears appropriate."
Accordingly, the EIC in its meeting of 16 August 1951 (EIC,1,1-4) agreed that
CIA, through the EIC Secretariat, should initiate a Government pride survey of
economic research programs. on the Soviet Bloc,,
PulTope'and stations of the Prelim-Ina Bury - Lpalogia
In carrying out this assignment the EIC Secretariat held numerous discussions
with representatives of the agencies most concerned and attempted to set up a

C RDP82-002830100180004-4
standard reporting form which would elicit answers most essential to the survey.
TIowever, in view of the nature of the survey, contributions from the various
agencies were considerably lacking in uniformity. Descriptions of research
programs were given in various forms and in varying degrees of detail. Caps
in intelligence rere described differently by, different agencies, and in some
cases the existence of major research gaps was not noted. However, despite
these limitations the Secretariat feels that there is sufficient information
available, particularly information submitted on numbers of personnel, to permit
broad preliminary evaluations of the research' pro grams on most segments of the
economy. To facilitate these evaluations it will be necessary to supplement
agency contributions by discussions with key personnel in various agencies, and
by some interpolation on the part of the Secretariat, Any major errors that
creep into the preliminary survey as a result of this summary treatment can be
corrected by the EIC in its review of the individual sector papers.
This initial "broad brush" review will be adequate to highlight major gaps
and other critical economic intelligence problems to which the EIC should
devote its attention either through existing subcommittees, through the establish-
ment of new subcommittees, or through ad hoc groups composed of representatives
from those agencies most familiar with the particular problem. In addition to
waving the red flag before the EIC the survey should give the EIC at?3e ast a
general idea of "who does what" and what their capabilities are for doing it
in terms of numbers of professional personnel. Undoubtedly, other extra-dividends
will also emerge as the study progresses.

M. Critical Deficiencies.
It is obviously impossible for the EIC Secretariat to render intelligent
Judgments on all of the most critical deficiencies in the numerous fields
covered in this survey. It is possible, however, to make a start on this
and to establish a framework as a basis for criticism by the EICIand its
subcommittees.
It is assumed that the central criterion for selection of "critical"
intelligence requirements is the end use. This calls for an examination
of the extent to which the intelligence products could ultimately have a
bearing on actions or decisions of importance to US security interests.
The importance of individual research studies to certain end products of
intelligence may, of course, be indirect in that there-is a high degree
of interdependence among various bits of intelligence and one bit often
supports or is derived from others.
The following summary is the Secretariat's selection of some of the
most critical deficiencies not currently covered by projects, together with
an indication of the and products which such intelligence research might
be required to support. This selection is based not only on data in the
Work Sheets and in Part II of this paper but on discussions with key personnel
in the field.

IV. Rgcanmendations.
rr rrr-~r~~
1. It is believed that steps should be taken to increase the number
of personnel working in the Department of Agriculture on Soviet Bloc material.
If.this increase can be affected, the new person:el should be responsive to
intelligence requests. In relation to the require -ents for intelligence on
this subject, the total number of professional personnel is small. This'
contention is substantiated by the summary on professional personnel in
part I of this paper and by the review of intelligence gaps, in Part II'.
Some of these gaps, as indicated in Part III, are critical. If these personnel
were placed in the Department of Agriculture, they could draw on the experience
and training of literally hundreds of professional analysts in the Department
and would have access to a tremendous store of studies aid file material on
the subject. Fran a relatively small investment, the intelligence eo: unity
could increase its research output considerably. At present the Department
of Agriculture has the equivalent of only four professional analysts engaged
in research on this subject.
2. It is recommended that the EIC representatives review t:ie statement
of "Critical Deficiencies" in Part III and submit their criticises to the
.Secretariat. Ar; agreed EIC statement on this subject should be transmitted
to the Agricultural Subcommittee with a request that it be reviewed. and
returned to the EIC, with a proposed program for filling gaps. If the
deficiency stems primarily from a lack of information, the Subcaamittee on
Requirements and Facilities for Collation should be consulted.
