...Exploitation of Siberian natural-gas reserves. Two projects are being explored, one involving on the U.S. side a consortium of Tenneco, Texan Eastern Transmission and Brown & Root, the other El Paso Natural Gas and possibly Occidental Petroleum. The two together could require as much as $10 billion to $14 billion of U.S. development capital, and that may be too much for private U.S. financial institutions. Some new form of Government financing will probably be needed...

Butz suggested to Brezhnev that the Soviet Union might consider paying for the grains by exporting its surplus of Siberian natural gas to the U.S. It was, of course, too early to agree on a deal that would cost at least $5 billion for plants, pipelines and ships, with most of the cost borne by the Russians.

But Moscow would like to sell jetliners (including the supersonic Tu-144), wristwatches, cameras, pharmaceutical supplies, medical instruments-and the natural gas that Butz bubbled about. Soviet experts have conferred with men from Tenneco and Texas Eastern Transmission about shipping Siberian gas to the U.S. It could be pipelined to Murmansk, liquefied and shipped to the U.S. East Coast in special tankers...
...concludes with "There and Back," Trotsky's account of his Siberian escape in a reindeer sled driven by a drunken peasant. With politics temporarily given a back seat, the memoir is a literary achievement of great quality - proving again that there is nothing like a subzero dash over the snow to bring out the best in a Russian writer...
