Before the Research Center can begin to consider delving behind the "iron curtain" in its search for material, it must determine exactly what sort of material it wishes to discover. This process will occupy the Center for the better part of the spring term, and will involve an analysis of what already is known about Russia. Even in this preliminary stage, the work can be valuable. A clear separation of truth from fabrication among available data, and an "inter-disciplinary" organization of that data, could clarify much of the current muddle...

This step would surely put the issue on a level beyond petty bickering and the sort of ill-feeling that debased the Memorial Church episode following the last...
