Overview of IRR Activities--Last Two Weeks
(UllictlIft-FOIA Requests
(UP*1410) Interest in Hydrogen-Powered Autos
(UHAILJO) A requester seeks records on "Hydrogen powered cars [and] Stanley Myers Hydrogen powered buggy,
this man was murdered back in 1985 by the US government. Stanley was conscripted by the Pentagon, ostensibly to
power army tanks with water. At a dinner celebrating their success, Stanley hoisted a toast, drank, clutched his
throat and said he was poisoned, walked outside and keeled over dead. That's how 'government' power usupers have
treated those who've tried to champion your liberty in the past."
� The FOIA case manager provided the requester with a previously released document on hydrogen engines,
and also explained the foreign intelligence mission of the Agency, referring the requester to the Department of
Energy for further assistance.
(UHAVITirSeeking Records on UFO Investigator
(U974.14Q4 Noted "nuclear physicist-lecturer" Stanton Friedman requests "all documents, memos, consulting
contracts, correspondence, and related matters between the CIA and Philip Julian Klass. He lived in the DC area for
many years and was most likely a consultant concerning foreign avionics [a blending of aviation and electronics] and
unidentified flying objects on both the domestic and foreign fronts."
� The FOIA case manager provided the requester 22 pages of previously released material on Mr. Klass.
(U//044104 Request for Population Maps
(U/hielleT44) A requester asks for "all maps illustrating the distribution of Muslim populations worldwide, historical
and projected, for all years such maps were prepared. Please note that specific maps of this nature have been
declassified in the past; therefore responsive records are known to exist."
� The FOIA case manager informed the requester that the most recent version of "CIA Maps and Publications"
is located on the CIA's Internet site. Hardcopy maps can be purchased from the Department of Commerce's
National Technical Information Service.

(UHVI'lle) From the Archives:
( UHAIU0) Living and Social Conditions in the USSR
(U//fr/173) A DO Information Report circa July 1952 notes the following: "The workers and employees of both
Branch No.1 and Institute 88 committed an extraordinary amount of petty thievery. Everything in the two
installations which could be moved had to be nailed down. At Podlipki, for example, it was impossible to fmd a roll
of insulating tape in the entire institute. But you could buy all you wanted at a public market 100-meters from the
institute, where workers were selling stolen goods." Also, "Soviet workers at Branch No. 1 stole and consumed
alcohol (97%), which was used for testing rocket engines. On one occasion, two workers bored a hole in an alcohol
tank and promptly started to drink large quantities of the stuff. Their greed proved their downfall, however, because
they soon dropped senseless to the ground and were found there by a watchdog."
(U//A4+FIFt) The World of the 1980s, as Seen From the 1970s
(U/Mrlf.#19) In 1974, the DS&T's Office of Research and Development produced a 24-page study on "Some Likely
Key Intelligence Questions for the 1980s," intended to allow for better R&D planning. The study, praised by DCI
Colby as an excellent, thought-provoking effort, reached the following conclusions:
� Major climate change is on the way. Anticipated Result: Global freezing and drought, devastating world
food supplies.
� Growing population and critical resource shortages. Result: Worldwide economic struggle, a race for
exploitation of the oceans for food and fights for control of the sea beds.
� Vulnerability of energy supplies to disruption. Result: Accelerated development of underdeveloped
nations, and effective international economic controls.
� Multinational corporations will become increasingly important. Result: They will require government
intelligence support to maintain their economic position.
� Emergence of a worldwide "counterculture." Result: Possible development of a "counterreformation" and
reactionary ideological renewal, both in the Communist sphere and the US.
� Development of terrorism as an effective political weapon. Result: Industrial systems and free societies
threatened, terrorism intelligence becomes a major national security responsibility.
� Disillusionment with technology. Result: Major collapses of high-technology systems, future technology
gap that favors the USSR.
� Increasing nuclear proliferation. Result: Japan, West Germany, Italy, India, Australia, and Sweden get the
bomb.
� Development of global communications. Result: Unknown, but probably will be suppressed in Communist
countries.
� Possible surprises: triumph of international government, emergence of international technocracy (with
resulting interplanetary flight, man-machine symbioses, etc.).
(U//AwSometimes They Are More Than a Nuisance
(Ull-Arl) The following is from the 29 May 1957 Current Intelligence Weekly Summary : The atmosphere of
tension in Cuba has been sharpened by the extensive sabotage of Havana's electric power system on 28 May and by
reports of new fighting with Fidel Castro's rebel force in the eastern part of the island. While Castro's forces are not
considered capable of overthrowing the Batista regime, they have become a running sore of considerable nuisance
value."
� In January 1959, Castro's forces ousted Batista.
