Office of the Deputy Director for Intelligence
NOTE T0: Ambassador H. Allen Holmes
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of
Politico-Military Affairs,
State Department
Attached is the Directorate of Intelligence
Research Program for 1987. It contains sections on
what we think the most important security and
intelligence issues will be over the next five years,
the issues we will be highlighting in our research
this year, and DI office research plans. The program
has benefited from our consultations with your people,
and I trust you will find many of your concerns
reflected in it.
Throughout the program, you will notice a strong
emphasis on Soviet military plans and forces, Soviet
economics and politics, and Soviet activities in the
Third World. We have also focused on key functional
issues -- such as narcotics and terrorism -- and on
countries and areas with high potential for
instability.
I urge you to leaf through the program,
particularly those sections of special interest to
you. I would value your comments on specific topics
or the overall program.
