MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
VIA: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence
FROM: Robert M. Gates
Deputy Director for Intelligence
SUBJECT: 1986 Research Program
1. In response to your 3 August memo proposing that we do
some work on the global financial structure, OGI will include a
new project to be completed in the second quarter under the
cross-cutting theme on The Changing Structure of the World
Economy.
2. We have indeed done many of the building block pieces
that would go into a broad assessment of the major changes in
international financial flows, and I share your view that we need
to look at how they are related and what they portend for the
future.
3. Attached is a brief concept paper outlining the general
approach OGI plans to take. I would appreciate your reaction to
it.
