I want to thank you for my copy of the Economic Intelligence
Statistical Handbook, 1966, which provides statistics on the economies
of the Communist countries, as well as the countries of the North Atlan-
tic Treaty Organization.
It is an extremely helpful publication. I particularly appreciate
the fact that so much of your data has been unclassified, making it pos-
sible for us to use it in our work with the public.
I hope you will extend my thanks and congratulations to those
officers who have worked on the Handbook'
