SUBJECT: Dinner Meeting of 9 July 1979
USSR-EE, attended a dinner at Airlie House on
9 July 1979 in honor of a group of Soviet academicians who
were attending a conference on Asia and Problems of Detente
sponsored by the George Washington University Sino-Soviet
Institute. Present at the dinner in addition to the Soviets
were representatives of the host organization headed by
Dr. Gaston J. Sigur and the President of George Washington
University, Dr. Elliott, along with a large group of American
academicians active in the field of Sino-Soviet relations.
Following are highlights of the im ressions gained by Messrs.
Assistant NIO for Special
Studies, who was also present, is submitting a separate
memorandum which covers his conversation with Dr. Ivan Kovalenko
of the Institute for the US and Canada Studies, USSR Academy
of Sciences.

political ideology which they had been following for the past
20 years, and Baryshnikov did not dispute this. He impressed one
as being a fairly-solid student of developments in China, and a
person capable of looking at events without a heavy dose of Soviet
ideology. The theme of "great change" came up at several points
in the conversation, and Baryshnikov mentioned that he had been in
China (he spoke of.Sinkiang) at.some. point last fall.
suggested that the Chinese were apparently rejecting much of the
characterized as representing a "great change."

6. pre-dinner conversation with Dr. Sladkovsky,
he noted that he had known CCP Vice Chairman Chen Yun as early as
1926 in Shanghai, where he, Sladkovsky, had been a student and
Chen Yun a labor leader. Sladkovsky remarked that he had recently
written an article on the Chinese economy in the Journal of the
Institute for the Far East and had received a letter from Chen Yun
which had commented favorably upon this article. Chen Yun had
invited Sladkovsky to visit China. Sladkovsky appeared to be
rather pleased at Chen Yun's new position as head of the PRC State
Council's Financial and Economic Commission.

7. Sladkovsky said he had also known Chou Enlai for many
years, and regarded Chou as a rather weak and vacillating man.
According to Sladkovsky, Chou had gotten ahead because he had
never attempted to be more than number 2 or 3 and alsway adjusted
his position to accord with that of the number 1. Sladkovsky
argued.that because of Chou's close identification with Mao Zedong
during the Cultural Revolution, Chou had been personally
responsible for the deaths of many Chinese.
that as we saw it, Chou had used his close relationship withdMao
to do what he could to hold the country together during that very
troubled period. Sladkovsky held that we Americans always
attribute too much to Chou Enlai.
8. Later, during the dinner conversation, Sladkovsky
expressed doubt that China could achieve its agricultural goals,
e.g., grain production on the order of 400M tons per annum. He
doubted that mechanization could work, or that such a goal was
even economically desirable given the size of China's rural
population. Sladkovsky agreed, however, with the contention that
an increase in materiel incentives for the peasants would
stimulate increased agricultural production.
--- -----J ++ _?= 11411 ueen in Hong Kong,
and he replied affirmatively. i Icalled attention to the
energy, initiative, and hard working qualities by the Chinese
in Hong Kong and suggested that what the present leadership in
China was trying to do was to stimulate these same qualities on
the part of the Chinese people as a whole. .Sladkovsky did not
dispute this contention.
10. Toward the conclusion of the dinner, Dr. Sigur made a few
brief welcoming remarks. Dr. Sladkovsky then replied in effect
calling upon Russians and Americans to look to the future and to
work toward improved relations. Sladkovsky was interrupted during
these remarks by Dr. Kovalenko, who added to Sladkovsky's words
and evidently wanted to make it obvious to all that he, Kovalenko,
was the real power in the Soviet delegation and outranked Sladkovsky.

11. Meanwhile, according to an account later passed on by
the American scholar Parris Chang to Dr. Titarenko, who
sat next to Chang and harrangued him in Chinese throughout the
dinner, was intent upon peddling a repetitive message about
Deng Xiaoping. Deng, according to Titarenko, was the main source
of anti-Soviet sentiment in the Chinese leadership, and was
allegedly opposed on this issue by many Chinese leaders, specifically
including Chen Yun and Li Xiennien as well as many in the Chinese
military. Titarenko, according to Chang, depicted Hua G.uofeng as
occupying an intermediate position on the Soviet question.

THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

13 July 1979
MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
National Intelligence Officer for China
SUBJECT Activities/Events/Trends in China of Possible
Interest to Policymakers
1. Action Requested: None; this memorandum is for your
information only.
2. Background: You requested that each NIO address the
above subject for his area of responsibility at the NIO meeting
scheduled for Monday, 16 July. I have a long-standing engagement
outside Washington on that date, and accordingly forward herewith
the observations I would otherwise have made orally at the NIO
meeting.
3. I believe that there are three aspects of Chinese policy
and outlook which deserve particular attention:
a. The question of continuity within the Chinese
leadership. Beijing's recently-concluded National People's
Congress session appeared to endorse much of the program and
philosophy for national development which we have attributed to
Deng Xiaoping--heightened pragmatism, separation of the Party
from management, diminished attention to ideology and the role
of Mao Zedong, emphasis on democracy (albeit of a "socialist"
nature) and rule of law, increased material incentives, continued
concentration on the "four modernizations as China's primary
task." Newly-appointed national leaders appear to be supportive
of this philosophy.
-- However, Deng Xiaoping himself may have been
critized for some of his policy initiatives, especially
with respect to Vietnam, the US, and the USSR. He has
said he will make no more foreign visits, and reportedly
wishes to retire.

SUBJECT Monthly Warning Assessment: China
1. The Indochina Situation
Despite reports of Sino-Vietnamese clashes analysts at
the 18 July meeting did not anticipate renewed hostilities between
China and Vietnam in the near term, and noted a considerable
reduction in Chinese forces adjacent to Vietnam, down to 100,000
troops and 250 aircraft vs. 200,000 Vietnamese troops. It was
suggested, however, that we should check on whether the Chinese may
have established large supply dumps near the border to permit a
rapid buildup if and when teaching Vietnam a second lesson is
decided upon. Anti-Vietnamese resistance continues in Kampuchea
sustained by supplies sent via Thailand, and Vietnamese forces are
also encountering some logistical difficulties due to the weather.
Vietnam nevertheless still has the military advantage, and as a
result two Vietnamese divisions may have been withdrawn from
Kampuchea until after the monsoon. Analysts did not rate highly
the prospects for a political settlement in Kampuchea as matters
now stand.

Notes
Geological surveys reportedly had not yet begun as of.
December 1978.
This multipurpose project will generate about 6 billion
kWh per year. Geological surveys reportedly were under
way in December 1978.
The plant will generate an average of 6.5 billion kWh an-
nually. Reservoir capacity is to be 12.7 billion cubic
meters but will be reduced to 3.8 billion by sediment.
No further details are available.
Probably the same as a planned 6,000-MW project called

SUBJECT Monthly Warning Assessment: China
1. The Sino-Soviet Situation
Analysts reviewed the recent evidence without appreciably
changing judgments regarding the evolution of the situation. They
noted that evidence was accumulating that a sizable faction within
the ministry of fcreign affairs was in favor of improvement of
relations, but there was no direct evidence these sentiments were
shared by top-level officials. They noted also that preliminaries
regarding the talks to be held in Moscow in September has not yet
been completed, and that the Soviets were continuing to increase
their military force along the border. On the other hand, they
took into account that each
side was positioning itself for an improvement of relations. At this
juncture the bottom line appeared to be that the jury was out and
the burden of proof remained on those who would argue that some
improvement of relations was in the cards. Tacit agreement continued
that any improvement in relations would be modest and. would take
considerable time to achieve.
2. The Indochina Situation
Analysts chewed over the available evidence regarding troop
movements and other indications of increased Chinese military interest
in the Vietnamese border. The general consensus was that the evidence

SUBJECT Request for an Exception for VNE
Badge for Michel Oksenberg
REFERENCE : Our Memorandum, dated 29 December 1978,
Same Subject (NFAC 5903-78)
1. As stated in the referenced memorandum, the desirability
of Michel Oksenberg having a VNE badge remains the same.
2. I have checked with Mr. Oksenberg and he assures me that
he intends to visit the Agency much more frequently in the ensuing
months. These visits will be specifically in connection with the
travel by the President to the PRC next year, the travel in the near
future to China by a senior Cabinet officer, and the deliberations of
the NIE on Sino-Soviet (NIE 11/13-79). Moreover, Mr. Oksenberg wishes
to maintain a close consultative relationship with the NIO/CH and
with analysts in various offices of NFAC. He, himself, will be
providing political insights and guidance to personnel of this Agency.
3. Therefore, it is requested that an exception to the policy
of restricting VNE badges to people who visit the Agency at least 100
times per year be made in the case of Mr. Oksenberg.

SUBJECT
Request for an Exception for VNE
Badge for Michel Oksenberg
1. I request that an exception to.the policy of restricting
VNE badges to people who visit the Agency at least 100 times per
year be made in the case of Michel Oksenberg.
2. I recommend this for the following reasons:
A close and cooperative arrangement with
Mr. Oksenberg is essential to members of
NFAC and DDO. We anticipate more frequent
contact with him out here in this building,
especially during the intense period before
the arrival of the Chinese leaders in
Washington on 29 January 1979.
-- In our view, W. Oksenberg's role relative
to China is as important as an NFIB member.
His complete cooperation and candor are
important ingredients of our work. Were
we to deny him the VNE badge and oblige
him to go for the usual visitor procedure,
we would lose valuable time, degrade our
view of him in his eyes, and thus inhibit
the course of our work with him.
-- There will, in our view, be an intensifica-
tion of CIA interest in China over the next
year, and we are anticipating a good deal
more contact with Mr. Oksenberg.-

SUBJECT: Re-examination of Eligibility to Hold a VNE
Badge, in.the case of Michael OKSENBERG
1. In order to comply with the DCI's desire that
the number of Visitor,-No-Escort badges in use be
substantially reduced, action has been taken to limit
the issuance of new Visitor-No-Escort badges, and to
re-examine the eligibility of current Visitor-No-Escort
badge holders.
2. The criteria governing the issuance of a
Visitor-No-Escort badge are contained in paragraph ib,
which state--, in part, that "the number of
za visits to the Agency by a visitor must total at
least 100 per year, or-extraordinary protocol considerations
must be involved, e.g., visits by NFIB members." It is
our intention to strictly interpret the 100 visits a year
criterion, and to eliminate "protocol considerations" as
justification for issuance of Visitor-No-Escort badges
except under the most extraordinary circumstances.
visit frequency criterion is not met-by a Visitor-No-Escort
badge holder, the sponsoring office will be requested to
retrieve the badge and return it to the Office of Security.
Our records show-that the subject person entered the
