1. The attached Collection Support Brief is a collection companion
to FBIS Collection Requirement No 86-12 issued 4 June 1986 under the
same title. It is written to help collectors such as FBIS focus on
internal Soviet trends that are key to Intelligence Community assessment
of Gorbachev's reform policies. This represents an overview of what
information the Communit ds in line with the previously issued
collection requirements.

Collection Support Brief can be destroyed in the field. Liaison has
compiled an unclassifed version for use in the field or by JPRS

using this Collection Brief, an FOUO copy of FCR 86-12 is also included
with annotations showing FBIS has collection responsibility for all the
requirements. If you have comments or suggestions for future Collection
Support Briefs, L' n would like to pass them on to the appropriate
Community staff. 7
