MIKAYELYAN (obituary) Primary Source: Meditsinskaya gazeta, August 23, 1991, No. 34 (5207), p. 5, cols. 1-2 Extract: Professor Aleksandr Lvovich Mi- kayelyan, an eminent Soviet heart surgeon, died on August 18 at the age of 62. He was a corresponding member of the Armenian Academy of Sciences and director of the Ye- revan affiliate of the USSR Academy of Med- ical Sciences' All-Union Research Center of Surgery (VNTsKh). From 1974 until the last day of his life, A. L. Mikayelyan was director of VNTsKh's Yerevan affiliate. He put much effort and energy into the development of 5 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000600450018-4 surgery in Armenia, and this became espe- cially apparent during the difficult days of the Armenian earthquake. His publications on surgery and cardi- ology are widely known in the world. He was elected a member of the International Society of Surgeons and the board of the All-Union Scientific Society of Surgeons and Cardiologists, and a member of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences' Scientific Council for Surgery and Scientific Council for Organ and Tissue Transplantation and the Development of Prostheses and Artifi- cial Organs.

GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
The

in
the
world.
It
spans
the
golden
gate-a
mile
wide
straight
between
the
Pacific
Ocean
and
the
San

and connects
San Francisco with Marin County
to

The

to
the
Ver ranzo-Nar rows
Bridge
in New York

and
a
total
length
of
8,981
feet.
The
$35 million dollar
structure
was
started
in
1933
and
opened
in
1937.
Joseph
B.
Strauss
was
the
chief

and Othmar

was

The
two
steel
towers
of
the
bridge,
each
746
feet
high,
are
the
tallest
bridge
towers
in
the
world.
The
towers,
painted
bright

support
two
cables,
36.5
inches
in
diameter,
spaced
feet
apart.
The
pier
supporting
the
south
tower
is
founded
on
bedrock
100
feet
below
the

surface.
The
pier,
built
1125
ft
from
shore,
is
exposed
to
ocean
storms
and
strong
tidal
currents.
The
bridge
carries
a
roadway,
feet
wide,
divided
into
six
lanes
for
vehicular
traffic
and
there
are
plans
to
add
a

The

from

about
250

is
spectacular.

[It is part of a fine architectural complex that includes the cathedral, a baptistery and an enclosed composanto or cemetery, all sheathed in white marble and archaded in Pisan-Romanesque style. The tower near the east end of the church is unusual for both its beauty and for its mechanics of equilibrium. A Freestanding cylinder, it consists of 8 tiers of round arched archades. A spiral staircase ascends to the interior. From the top of the tower Galileo is said to have conducted his experiments in physics with falling objects. The tower was begun in 1174 by an unknown architect. The bell tower at the top was completed about 1350. During construction, an uneven settling of ground caused the building which had a foundation too shallow to support its weight, to lean toward the south. Its deviation was accidental rather than intentional as some scholars thought. Other towers in the city are similarly though less strikingly affected. Through the years there has been much controversy over the height of the tower and the amount of its tilt. It is now generally agreed that the tower is 179 feet high on the northern side and it deviates nearly 17 ft from the vertical. Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000700450001-1

Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000700500001-5 The US Response To meet the threat posed by the continuing buildup of Soviet military power, the US, in coordination with allies and friends who share common security interests, is following a dual approach. The US has established strategies, policies, und programs to improve our forces and those of our allies and friends to deter Soviet aggression in all its forms. At the same time, we seek to secure a more stable military balance through the negotiation of significant, verifiable force reductions. This chapter provides a brief overview of US defense policy and strategy designed to deter the threat of Soviet military power, as well as the aggressive designs of other states and groups hostile to our interests. There is also discussion of the forces and programs we have deployed or initiated to enable us to meet our defense strategy. US defense policy is guided by the necessity to maintain nuclear deterrence while pursu- ing research into strategic defenses. It seeks to maintain deterrence against conven- tional attacks while combating the more am- biguous forms of aggression characteristic of low-intensity conflict. The US is enhancing military stability, where possible, through ne- gotiated arms reductions and by utilizing en- during US strengths to exploit long-term Soviet weaknesses through competitive strategies. More detailed accounts of these programs can be found in the Fiscal Year 1988 Annual Report to the Congress by the Secretary of Defense and the United States Military Posture FY 1988 prepared by the Joint Staff. The new HOKUM attack helicopter, now in flight-testing, will give the Soviets a significant rotary-wing, air-to-air combat capability for which no Western counterpart exists. Deployment of the HOKUM and HAVOC (lawer right) attack helicopters will further underscore the capabilities and the challenge of Soviet military power.
