The Honorable Charles Z. Wick
Director
United States Information Agency
Washington, D.C. 20547

Thank you for sending over copies of USIA's Soviet Propaganda
Highlights. They are an interesting and useful quick fix on what Moscow is
saying from week to week. I appreciate being put on regular distribution for
future copies. Our analysts, of course, make good use of the more detailed
Soviet Propaganda Alert and other USIA products.
I'm glad the relationship between USIA and FBIS looks good from your
perspective. We also think that it's working well, not only in terms of
regular provision of FBIS Daily Reports and wire material but also in a number
of ad hoc projects. FBIS encourages continued contacts at the working level,
where desk officers can devise specific modes of cooperation and discuss exact
requirements, and we remain caimitted to full cooperation with USIA in dealing
with Soviet propaganda or any other issues that may arise in the future.
In this regard our analysts relied heavily on USIA expertise in producing
a recent study of The Soviet Foreign Propaganda paratus. For umir is
use, I am enclosing an unclassified version of this paper. in my
Office of Soviet Analysis (SOVA) has talked to Nils Wessell about publishing
this study as a USIA product with broad dissemination. I think it would be a
good way to help educate the public regarding the Soviet propaganda effort. I
hope you can make use of it.
Sincerely,
!A/. 13111

March 18, 1986
Per our conversation, I am sending you back copies since the
first of the year of the Agency's Soviet Propaganda
Highlights. The report is based on Foreign Broadcast
Information Service (FBIS) material and is designed to give a
quick overview of Soviet statements on topical events. We send
it to about fifty people outside USIA, including the top levels
of the White House, Defense, State, and Congress. I will put
you on regular distribution.
I would like to take this opportunity to say how much we
appreciate the service provided by FBIS. It would be very
difficult to do our job without it. Apart from receiving about
200 copies of the Daily Reports and other FBIS publications, we
have occasionally called upon FBIS to provide research services
and to flag items on the FBIS Wire which are of special
interest to USIA. Their cooperation has been excellent. We
also look forward to the upgraded retrieval service that will
be implemented next year.
I would appreciate your reaction to the Propaganda Highlights
report and any suggestions for improving cooperation with FBIS.
With best wishes.
incerely,
The Honorable
William Casey

Soviet Propaganda Highlights
February 19 - March 4
U.S. Response to Gorbachev Proposals
it must be clear to everyone that such horrible weapons ...
must be eliminated and that there cannot be a thinking indi-
vidual who would oppose the concept of a world without nuclear
arms. But they in Washington think along different lines. The
so-called "answer" to the Soviet initiatives, the "new" U.S.
proposals, attest to a different thing. .. Everything has
been done to place an insurmountable barrier to the solution of
all problems. (TASS, March 3)
Reagan Radio Address on Defense
The latest statement by the White House incumbent was a kind of
radio supplement to the recent television address to the
country. In both speeches the President was trying to enlist
Americans' support for the unleashing of a new spiral in the
arms race and the continuation of the unconstructive, futile,
strong-arm approach to relations with the Soviet Union.
(Pravda, March 3)
Duvalier, Marcos
However different the concrete social, economic, and political
realities are in [Haiti and the Philippines], one should not
deflect one's attention from the things common there, which are
typical of Washington's policy and have come to be known as
"the neoglobalism doctrine.' Judging by everything, the les-
sons of history have been utterly lost on U.S. ruling quarters
which continue looking at the world as if it were their bali-
wick. When they are compelled, for this or that reason, to get
rid of reactionary puppets who have compromised themselves
beyond salvage, they present this to the world as a "triumph of
democracy" U.S.-style, while in fact trying to repeat the
Haitian "voodoo' trick of reviving another "zombi" and forget-
ting in the process that the world has changed and does not
want to lie down in the-procrustian bed of American
"doctrines.' (TASS, March 3)
Posner on ABC
The White House is beside itself with rage. Well, to
muzzle an opponent is quite a convenient-to-the-USA way of
conducting a dialogue with the USSR on vital issues of war and
peace at a time when the U.S. public shows increasing concern
over the Administration's nonconstructive stand on disarmament
issues. To U.S. mass media this entire story has become yet
another convincing illustration of the "freedom of speech" and
"exchange of ideas" which the present U.S. Administration
otticials are so fond of talking about. (TASS, February 28)

'Soviet Propaganda Highlights
February 19 - 25
U.S. Reply to Gorbachev Proposals
Judging by first press reports, the reply does not go farther
tnan repeating the U.S.'s well-known nonconstructive stand in
this matter which is of major importance to the destiny of the
world. The reply, which constitutes a propaganda strategem
designed to justify Washington's unwillingness to take real
steps along lines of ridding the world of the threat of nuclear
annihilation, also pursues the aim of diverting attention from
the Soviet proposals and of justifying the U.S. Administra-
tion's course towards further spiralling up the arms race.
(TASS, February 24)
Grenada
Last spring President Reagan laid a wreath at a cemetery in
Bitburg, Germany, where war criminals, members of the Nazi SS
are ouried. Now he is going to lay a wreath at a monument to
the victors of Grenada, if victor is the right name for those
who have trampled underfoot the sovereignty of a tiny country
and have thrown it back many years. (Radio Moscow, February 19)
Without so much as a shade of embarrassment, the White House
incumbent described an act of state terrorism -- the seizure of
the tiny insular state of Grenada on which the Pentagon brought
down the might of its intervention forces -- as the liberation
"ot the people of Grenada from the grip of tyranny." (TASS,
February 23)
Chad
The U.S. is making no secret of its satisfaction with this
[French] intervention operation. Washington applauds Paris
.... However, things are not restricted to applause alone.
The U.S. hold constant "consultations" with Paris over the Chad
problem, provides France with spy satellite intelligence infor-
mation, and is expediting shipments of additional military aid
to the tune of 6 million dollars to the Habre regime.
(Izvestiia, February 20)
Philippines
The arguments about "defending democracy", the struggle against
corruption, and the concern for justice are only camouflage, a
propaganaa screen for Washington's basic political goal: to
keep its positions in the Philippines and to ensure tools of
pressure on a country where events have recently developed that
are patently not in the U.S. favor. This is precisely why the
U.S. corridors of power are worrying, entire detachments of
"aria-twisting" experts have been cast into the Philippines, and
the forces of the Pentagon have begun to act. (Pravda,
February 21)

Soviet Propaganda Highlights
February 5 - 11
Challenger Explosion
Picture to yourself what might have happened if the space
shuttle had carried on board a combat laser unit activated by a
nuclear explosion. Yet it is with the help of exactly such
space shuttles, that Washington plans to test and put into
orbit laser and other weapons under the "star wars' program.
The Challenger disaster has served as an eye-opener for many
people to the danger of the so-called Strategic Defense
Initiative, which can jeopardize the life of whole nations,
even of the entire humanity, if its complicated computer
systems malfunction. (Radio Moscow, February 3)
State of The Union Address
... The American leader needed the false, totally groundless
accusations against the Soviet Union in order to provide a
propaganda justification for the course towards a further
unrestricted escalation of the arms race.... One of the chief
theses of the address is that America should and will arm
itself, and that its course is the position-of-strength
policy. In other words, the U.S. intends to follow the path
which has already led mankind to an unprecedented arms race, to
great disasters. (TASS, February 6)
Reagan Budget Message
So what is the course for the foreseeable future proposed in
this message? Briefly, this course may be characterized as a
program of unrestrained militarization and imperial globalism.
(TASS, February 7)
It is with U.S. connivance that the Duvalier tyranny subjected
the local population to utter poverty and lawlessness. It is
under this rule that this nation of 6 million people has been
turned into a virtual island prison.... And it is a sad irony
that a country that professes promotion of human rights around
the world should have been the one to provide the Haitian
dictator with a getaway plane and find him a safe haven.
(Radio Moscow, February 7)
Philippines Election
In recent months, Washington has put strong and sometimes crude
pressure on the Philippine government, insisting on early
elections on the pretext of the 'need to restore democracy'.
Certain circles in the U.S. Government and Congress are casting
doubt on the current regime's ability to control the situation
and preserve the U.S.'s privileged positions there.

Soviet Propaganda Highlights
January 29 - February 4
ACDA Report on Soviet Violations
One notices the fact that precisely the part of the report
which contains the absurd "accusations" is strictly classi-
tied. his very fact alone shows that the U.S. has no facts at
its aisposai because there can be none. ... It is not the
Unitea States, but the Soviet Union which has every reason to
pose the question of adherence by the U.S. side to its obliga-
tions. (TASS, February 2)
Shuttle Explosion Investigation
... The White House will soon announce the setting up of an
"independent group" to study the prospects for the U.S. space
program in light of the Challenger disaster. ... It is evi-
dently the U.S. Administration's intent to launch a broad cam-
paign to brainwash the country's public opinion with the aim of
crushing the fears of Americans who believe that Challenger's
fate is a serious warning to those who plan to deploy weapons
systems in space. (TASS, January 31)
Reagan Remarks to Conservative Political Action Conference
... Reagan again turned to his pet theme -- anti-Sovietism and
anti-Communism. He directed rude and wholesale criticism
against the Soviet Union's foreign policy, ascribed "expansion-
ist aims" to it, openly called for implementing American-style
"freeaom" throughout the world, including in socialist coun-
tries, and for giving every possible assistance to forces of
counterrevolution and antisocial elements on the CIA's pay-
roll. (TASS, January 31)
Savimbi Visit
Receiving this out-ana-out terrorist in Washington, with honors
befitting top statesmen, the Reagan Administration, for the
umpteenth time, has shown its support for the undeclared war
against Angola ana its adherence to the policy of state ter-
rorism. (TASS, January 31)
Haitian Unrest
... They in the U.S. clearly hope for a palace coup in Haiti
under U.S. Embassy control that would make it possible to lower
the momentum of the popular struggle and replace the butcher of
the Haitian people with a less odious puppet. This would make
it possible to preserve for the U.S. monopolies positions of
diktat in that country. (TASS, January 1)
Rene Theodore, general secretary of the Central Committee of
the United Party of Haitian Communists, has exposed the inten-
tions of the U.S. to invade Haiti. (TASS, February 3)

soviet vropaganda Highlights
January 22 - 28
U.S. 'New Globalism'
The architects of "new globalism", the doctrine of direct armed
interference by the U.S., in an attempt to camouflage their
hegemonistic designs, resort to propaganda gimmicks of all
sorts to distort the situation by prattling about the 'legiti-
macy' of the fight against 'international terrorism", about the
'need to ensure U.S. national security.' This hegemonis-
tic doctrine is a tool of crude, including armed, interference
by the U.S. in the regions and parts of the world where the
U.S. would like to establish its domination. (TASS, January 27)
Savimbi Visit
Savimbi and his supporters have a dirty and shameful record.
They have wiped out communities, ruined economic facilities,
downed passenger airliners, and killed civilians. Equally
notorious are their close ties with the regime in South Africa,
which has been lavishly supplying UNITA with money and muni-
tions, and giving it shelter in occupied Namibia. (Radio
Moscow, January 27)
U.S.-Libya
The fact that Washington has so tar stopped short of actually
attacking Libya may serve as an indication that the U.S.
policymakers realize that Libya is not a puny Grenada, and that
an attack on it won't be a trifling business. And this is
perhaps the one case where the policy of brawn rather than
brain is not likely to succeed. (Radio Moscow, January 24)
ABC 'Amerika' Series
This piece of television hack work is a routine murky variation
on the theme of the 'Soviet military threat" on which the
bosses of ABC did not begrudge spending 40 million dollars. It
distorts the history and ignores the peace-loving policy of the
USSR. ... Under pressure from the democratic public, the
television company bosses were forced to stop work on
"Amerika." The concoction of a new portion of anti-Soviet
slander was assessed by progressive forces in the U.S. and
outside that country as a betrayal of the spirit of Geneva, but
the retreat by ABC management aroused unconcealed annoyance in
the White House. (TASS, January 23)
U.S. Nuclear Tests
By setting off new nuclear devices, Washington demonstrates
contempt to the commitment formalized in the joint Soviet-U.S.
statement following the November summit meeting .... (TASS,

Soviet Propaganda Highlights
January 15 - 21
Geneva NPT Talks
Tne Soviet Union's approach opens up broad opportunities for
ensuring progress at the Geneva talks. But all efforts aimed
at enaing the nuclear arms race will inevitably be reduced to
nii if no solution is found to the main issue, the prevention
or the militarization of space. (TASS, January 14)
Whitehead Tri
The essence of the State Department's diplomatic moves is the
sensing of an emissary to bring outright pressure on
governments of countries -- the U.S.'s partners in NATO -- to
force them to follow obediently in the wake of the anti-Libyan
policy of the present U.S. Administration; in other words, to
resort to political pressure. Whitehead's trip is just
another attempt to compel the U.S. allies to join Washington in
its anti-Arab policy. (TASS, January 14)
U.S.-Philippines Relations
In all its forms the matter ultimately comes down to
Washington's desire to ensure the absolute inviolability of its
positions in the Philippines ana to further strengthen them.
At the same time, the increase in anti-U.S. feelings in the
Philippines is the logical consequence of the policy of crude
diktat and economic exploitation pursued by the U.S. here.
(Izvestiia, January 13)
U.S.-Libya
Libya has become a victim of U.S.-Israeli subversive actions
because Qadaffi rejected the conspiracy of the U.S. and Israel
in whatever form. ... Do the tracks of the terrorist acts in
Rome ana Vienna not lead to the CIA and the Mossad? ...
Israel, stirring up the situation, wants once again to look
like the victim of terrorism by the Palestinians and all Arabs,
and, in this case as happened before, to carry out 'acts of
revenge' with impunity. Here are the roots of CIA and Mossad
activity in the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and in Western
Europe. (TASS, January 14)
U.S. Interventionist Policies
... The U.S. is currently carrying out more than fifty
subversive operations abroad. It is this activity of the U.S.
which bears the hallmark of state-sponsored terrorism -- one of
the main causes of so-called 'regional conflicts' which the
Washington Administration is seeking to use in order to
undermine all efforts directed at creating an atmosphere of
trust in the name of averting the war menace and strengthening
peace. (TASS, January 15)

Soviet Propaganda Highlights
January 8 - 14
Anti-U.S. Sentiment in Philippines
Domestic developments in the Philippines show how potentially
dangerous it is for developing countries to ally themselves
with the U.S. In times of relative stability developing coun-
tries have to pay an enormous price in order to maintain their
alliance with the U.S.; in times of internal instability and
crisis, such an alliance becomes a tool for exercising brute
pressure and interfering in internal affairs that threatens the
independence of developing countries. (Moscow Radio Peace and
Progress, January 7)
Euromissiles
The U.S. has deployed 156 Pershing II missiles in West Germany
and not 108 as it formally announced. ... It is not the first
time Washington is cheating on the number of its missiles. The
American missiles may be trained on the socialist countries,
but they as well reach the Middle East, North Africa, and other
regions. America's missiles obviously threaten many
countries. (Radio Moscow, January 9)
U.S. Anti-Sovietism
An atmosphere of vituperative anti-Sovietism and suspicion
towards Soviet diplomatic personnel and Soviet representatives
in the U.S. is encouraged by U.S. official authorities and now
goes beyond the "usual" boundaries. ... So on the one hand we
nave calls for 'better understanding" and on the other the true
attitude of the official authorities, which are actually
inspiring provocative anti-Soviet campaigns. (TASS, January 10)
Soviet Treaty Violations
U.S. Defense Secretary Weinberger has made another unseemly
attempt to cast a slur on the Soviet Union's policy as regards
observance of the international treaty obligations it has
assumed. ... The chief of the U.S. military department needed
his fabrications to distract public attention away from the
efforts being made by the Washington Administration to sabotage
the provisions of the SALT II treaty and to justify the
creation and deployment of two new intercontinental missiles.
(TASS, January 13)
Libya
The purpose behind the slanderous and provocative campaign,
mounted by the Reagan Administration against Libya, is to set
the stage for overthrowing the legitimate government of that
country .... (TASS, January 13)

Soviet Propaganda Highlights
January 2 - 7
Through the efforts of U.S. military-political circles, trick-
ery and deception have reached literally cosmic heights. By
Plugging the idea of 'star wars', the Pentagon and its patrons
and allies are deliberately misleading the U.S. public and
Congress, and the Western countries which the White House is
seeking to harness to the chariot of its militarist policy.
(Izvestiia, January 2)
Anti-Libyan hysteria has been unleashed in the U.S. by way of
psychological preparation for the launching of a [military]
strike. The notorious 'fight against terrorism' has again been
chosen as grounds for this. ... It turns out that any foreign
government which suddenly becomes not to Washington's liking
. may be simply overthrown, by force if necessary. (TASS,
January 6)
U.S. Central America Policy
In its Central American policy the U.S. Administration intends
to continue pursuing a course of great-power chauvinism,
diktat, and intolerance of any manifestation of independence on
the part of other countries and peoples. This is born out by
pronouncements made by President R. Reagan in his interview
with the Mexican press agency NOTIMEX. ... Washington is sab-
otaging the Contadora process in every way, having unleashed
the hands of the CIA mercenaries from the ranks of the
so-called "contras' in an undeclared war against Nicaragua,
striving to overthrow the government of that country which is
not to Washington's liking and to alter the sociopolitical sys-
tem freely chosen by the Nicaraguan people. (TASS, January 2)
Training Facilities for Terrorists
The aim of the [U.S. mercenary training camps] is to prepare
strike units of mercenaries who will be able to carry out ter-
rorist actions against Cuba, Nicaragua, and other independent
countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. ... Police and
the FBI know well the addresses of the terrorist training cen-
ters, but none of the American mercenaries has yet been brought
to trial. The authorities put no obstacles in the way of this
activity. This graphically demonstrates the hypocrisy of the
U.S. Administration which uses the campaign of combating
'international terrorism' as a smokescreen for interference in
the internal affairs of other states and peoples. (TASS,
January 1)
