1. Members of Unidentified Soviet Unit Receive New Regulations
1/
A conversation of 14 November 1963 held on an unidentified R-4400 radio
relay training net (believed to be internal), Group of Soviet Forces Germany
(GSFG), between two unidentified speakers disclosed the following concerning
the reception of new regulations:
Speakers (A) and (B) were engaged in a long conversation concerning
communications. At the completion of this routine communications chatter,
Speaker (A) remarked that they would not be training until one o'clock (a.m.
or p.m. not indicated) the next day. He then told Speaker (B) that he had been
spending some time reading the new regulations [NOVYJ USTAV]. Speaker (B)
replied that he had seem them, the 1963 ones. He added that he wanted to read
them through but hadn't [yet] been able to do so. The remainder of the conversation,
parts of which were garbled, dealt with training courses, type not disclosed.
Comment: The new regulations referred to are probably the 1963 edition of
a Soviet publication which can best be described as a basic field manual for the
soldier. This manual contains instructions pertaining to the Soviet soldier's
conduct, manual of arms, squad, platoon, company and battalion tactics, etc., as
found in separate U.S. manuals.

revealed that the news of President Kennedy's assassination was being passed on

Speaker (A) asked if Speaker (B) had heard about Kennedy. Speaker (B)
replied that they hadn't heard anything on the [commercial] radio yet and were
waiting for the latest news. Speaker (A) stated that in his opinion Kennedy
was already dead, having received a fatal bullet wound. Without further comment,
the speakers began talking about their communications.
