FOREWORD

The fortnightly Soviet Bibliography is an attempt to list on a

current basis the most significant published materials having to do with

the Soviet Union, its foreign policy, economic and social development,

and its impact upon the satellite countries and the world in general.

It is compiled by the Division of Library and Reference Services and is

based primarily on materials available in the central collection of the

Department of State but also including publications in other libraries

of the Washington area. Only materials in the English language are in-

cluded and the periodical articles are selected from about 50 of the

most pertinent and scholarly journals currently published.

Emphasis must be placed on the fact that the bibliography lists

only a fraction of the pertinent material in the Department's collection.

Requests for supplementary and additional materials are always welcome.

SThe Division of Library and Reference Services is prepared to

supply on loan, through its Circulation Section in accordance with

Departmental security regulations, any of the items listed in the

Bibliography. For this service authorized persons may apply to the

Circulation Section, LR, Room 202, State Annex #1, or call Republic

5600, extension 5565.
