MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Deane E. Hoffmann
National Intelligence Officer for Economics
SUBJECT: Final Draft NSSD 2-86: "Soviet Initiatives in
International Economic Affairs"
1. Because you expressed concern about the substantive balance of an
early draft of NSSD 2-86, I am sending the attached for your approval. The
high points of the Executive Summary and Analysis and Conclusions are
summarized in Tab A.. I believe the paper is now well balanced in terms of
possible future problems and policy recommendations. NSC has asked for.
Agency concurrence by COB Wednesday, 10 December.
2. The essence of the message is that:
-- We expect that Soviets to proceed cautiously on a variety of fronts;
-- There are risks down the road in terms of financial disruption,
technology transfer, and polarization of institutions vital to
Western interests; and
-- We should be firm in denying Moscow access to GATT and the IMF/IBRD.
3. You will note that Treasury dissented from the finding that the
Soviets could disrupt Western financial markets. The Treasury
Representative, Jim Griffin, did not want to come to terms with the CIA
language in the text or to spell out more clearly in the footnote why
disruption was not possible. The Treasury position does not have support in
other Agencies.
