Bach day of del. in delivery of the vessel to Soviet

tooting standards demasnded for the cylinder liners were relaxed or the
cylinder liners themselves could be obtained from the USSR, an impasse had
been reached..
they could not agree
to the Proposal that the l der liners for the POBBDA be supplied by the
SR. the reason for this was that, although the USSR was 50X1-HUM
to ically ccapable - as Bast a s seemed not to be - of producing
cylinder liners of tike required standard, such a procedure would be contrary
