THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
National Intelligence Council
28 January 1983
MEMORANDUM FOR: Dr. Paul J. Berenson
Special Assistant for Assessment
Office of the Under Secretary of Defense
FROM : Henry S. Rowen, Chairman
National Intelligence Council
SUBJECT : Proposed Intelligence Assessment of the
Impact of Western Technology Transfer
on the USSR
Your proposal that the Intelligence Community now consider
a national level assessment on the impact of western technology
transfer on the USSR is most appropriate. The Community has
come a long way since your initial request in late 1981, and I
find that your suggestion for a look at a portion of the problem
at this time has considerable merit. Therefore I am asking
Mr. Jan P. Herring, the new NIO for Science and Technology, to
meet with you to define the USDR&E's needs for a specific in-
telligence assessment.
