SUBJECT: Interagency Group on Geneva Exchanges
Initiatives (C)
One of the most important achievements to come out of the
President's meeting with General Secretary Gorbachev in Geneva
was agreement on the utility of broadening exchanges and
contacts in a wide variety of fields. These programs, which are
intended to go beyond traditional exchanges, will require
careful planning and coordination if we are to ensure true
reciprocity and that these programs fulfill the purpose of
promoting better understanding and communications between the
peoples of the US and the Soviet Union. Accordingly, the NSC
is hereby establishing an Interagency Group on the Geneva
Exchanges Initiatives (IG/GEI) to provide policy guidance on
the programs to be included under the exchanges initiatives, to
vet proposals for such programs, and oversee their implementa-
tion. (C)
