conaidared. 

3. ~e value of this material to the u.s. would cartainl.3r 

appear to warrant serious consideration b;r uscm. ih1a information

It is bslieved that :Lt this matal'ial. uare available to the Voice of 

Amrica tor exumple, programs oould be presented which ~uld unerringl.7 

indicate the breakdoi-m in Soviet econolQ" as 1l9ll as areas ot dissatisf'actim

in tbt. Voiaa ol America prosrama 'HDUld Cluite possible spread oonater.aation 

amcng the Soviet police agencies of ?"1-B/MVD, and at the smne time would 

appeal to the great mass ot Soviet people uho would find the Voice ot 

America making spec1t1c referenco to thl!tir persona1 problems.
