DSU-552-88 MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director of Central Intelligence VIA: Executive Director FROM: R. E. Hineman Deputy Director for Science and Technology SUBJECT: FBIS Coverage of Soviet Regional Press REFERENCE: Your Memo, dtd 13 Jun 88, Same Subject 1. I do not believe the subject of exploiting the Soviet regional press can be addressed outside the general context of FBIS' total Soviet coverage effort. What you may have heard with respect to an "inadequacy" may well reflect the selection criteria difficulties presented by the unprecedented availability of media information on Soviet affairs. In light of glasnost and Gorbachev's social experiment, FBIS has been under strong pressure to exploit the Soviet press more fully and to get the product to the consumer faster. To balance the growing requirements against existing resources, FBIS has been forced to be more selective in translating material. On the whole, I believe FBIS is doing an adequate job of covering the Soviet regional developments. 2. FBIS would have difficulty disputing a charge that it does not fulfill every analyst's wish for more material. The numerous consumers which FBIS' USSR Division deals with, including the Department of State INR desk officers, have very specific require- ments geared to their office missions. Every attempt is made to satisfy their requests, but FBIS cannot reasonably be expected to meet all their needs without consideration for priorities. While I am concerned that there is a perception that analysts are not receiving significant political and military information, I know, too, that FBIS devotes a great deal of its present resources to the coverage of Soviet affairs and that regional developments are only one of many requirements competing for those resources.

SUBJECT: FBIS Coverage of Soviet Regional Press 3. To address specifically the Soviet regional press, as you can see from the attachment, FBIS exploits some 140 regional publications on a regular basis. Most are in Russian; the rest in the republic vernacular languages. FBIS currently has nffirers 25X1 scanning the Soviet Russian-language regional press, 25X1 scanning the vernacular press (including Armenian), and 25X1 contractors regularly translating material selected from the Russian- language nrpcs Th p London Bureau's Press Monitoring Unit (PMU) employs monitors to process material from the central press 25X1 and some 15 selected regional sources. PMU's scrutiny of Soviet regional sources is limited to the party/government newspapers for coverage of priority developments and leadership-related activities; the same sources are exploited at FBIS Headquarters for other, less perishable material. Austria Bureau also has a small staff of two Russian monitors and one Ukrainian monitor, who exploit one Russian-language and three Ukrainian- language regional sources. 4. The average lag in receipt of Soviet regional newspapers at FBIS Headquarters is 3-4 weeks; it is significantly less at the bureaus: 8 days. Vernacular sources reach contractors in about 5-6 weeks. FBIS subscribes to the regional sources through the Moscow PPO and a Soviet- authorized literary agent in the United States. In the overall processing cycle, the delivery segment accounts for the longest average delay. This may worsen, for we have just heard of Moscow Embassy's proposal to reduce the PPO's role in press procurement. It takes another 21 or so days on average for a contractor to translate the material, and an average of 9 days for PUG to print it. Mailing material to and from the contractor also introduces delays. These parts of the production cycle are beyond FBIS' control, so there is little latitude for improving the product's timeliness under the present mode of operation. One point of concern is that the JPRS material is essentially in electronic form 3 weeks before it currently reaches consumers; unfortunately, however, the material is not available to analysts through SAFE (field bureau copy is in SAFE, however). 5. In past years, the Soviet press was mined assiduously for the rare nuggets of information; today, so much "gold" is available that we have had to become more selective in how we use our resources. That is not a metaphor that I would want to push too strongly, but it does illustrate the nature of the problem. Coverage of Soviet regional developments competes against other Soviet collection targets, and with the information explosion in the Soviet press it has become necessary for FBIS to weigh more carefully selection decisions (which convert directly 2 SECRET Declassified in Part- Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2013/09/19: CIA-RDP92-01361R000100060012-2 Declassified in Part- Sanitized Copy Approved forRelease2013/09/19 : CIA-RDP92-01361R000100060012-2 ? SECRET ? SUBJECT: FBIS Coverage of Soviet Regional Press into translation costs) against a host of established and evolving requirements. It is fair at this stage to note that, like all the DSU offices, FBIS has taken its share of the not insignificant resource cuts over the past several years. FBIS' translation activity has not escaped these resource pressures. Even if more resources were devoted to Soviet coverage, however, it is arguable those resources would be put to the best use by increasing exploitation of Soviet regional sources. This is not to say that regional affairs are not important, but rather to point out that there are other areas which should be receiving more attention than regional affairs in attempting to provide balanced reporting on the Soviet scene in the context of resource constraints. 6. This is what leads to my conclusion that, on balance, FBIS is doing an adequate job of covering Soviet regional developments. FBIS very recently conducted a survey of its consumers, including the DI and particularly SOVA, to determine the adequacy of its coverage. It was reassuring to discover that these consumers find current reporting of high importance to the analytical process and fulfilling both current and research needs. More, of course, could be done, but not without sellously affecting other intelligence collection efforts that are equally or more important.
