SOVIET INITIATIVES IN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC AFFAIRS (S)
Introduction
This National Security Study Directive establishes the Terms of
Reference for completing a review of recent initiatives undertaken
by the Soviet Union in the area of international economic affairs.
The Study will be coordinated by the National Security Council
Staff. (S)
Objective of the Review
To assess the significance of greater Soviet interest in global
economic institutions and affairs; to develop U.S. policy on
appropriate response to new Soviet initiatives in international
economic affairs; and to begin preparation of U.S. positions on
economic issues for the next meeting between President Reagan and
General Secretary Gorbachev. (S)
Scope
The review will address the following topics: (S)
First Stage: To be completed by October 1, 1986.
-- Soviet Interest in International Economic Affairs: Full
review of information relating to recent Soviet interest in
international economic issues, including but not limited to
assessments of the significance of: (S)
o The reorganization of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign
Affairs ("MFA") to include a new Administration for Interna-
tional Economic Relations. (S)
o The application of the Soviet Union to participate
in the new round of multilateral trade negotiations under
the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. (S)
o Suggestions that the Soviet Union is interested in
joining the IMF/IBRD. (S)

national financial market transactions. (S)

for discussions with the Soviets on their participation in
international economic institutions: (S)

ing international institutions (GATT, IMF/IBRD, etc.) to

should focus on Soviet comments at time of creation of those
institutions and in the past ten years. (S)
o Summary reports of past Soviet participation in
specialized international institutions, e.g., UNCTAD,
UNESCO, ILO, WHO, FAO, ICAO. Which have they "politicized"?
To which have they made a positive contribution? What have
been their substantive positions on economic issues in these
fora? (S)
