HOIS PRESENCE AND OPER ATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES Union of Soviet Socialist Republics The Soviet intelligence services (SIS) present the most serious espionage threat to the United States. The manpower and resources devoted to intelligence operations against the United States far exceed the effort of other hostile intelligence services. As of June, 1985, 1,410 officials were stationed in the United States. It is estimated that approximately 35 percent of these officials are Soviet intelligence officers (IOs) or co-opted agents. During the period of this review, the KGB tasked line PR (political intelligence) to be more vigilant in its efforts to report indications that the United States is considering the use of military force in any area of the world, to report on unanticipated meetings by high-level U. S. Government officials, troop movements that are out of the ordinary, and medical-related activities by U.S. Armed Forces which may reflect a preparation for combat. Political intelligence collection continues to focus upon the Reagan administration's plans and intentions regarding the Third World, including use of American forces in these areas of the world. Other political intelligence priorities are the Geneva disarmament talks of January, 1985, and any intelligence regarding foreign policy issues relating to military and strategic matters. The KGB continues to target sources of economic information. The areas targeted include domestic issues regarding the American economy, particularly U.S.-USSR trade relations. The KGB is also interested in obtaining information on U. S. trade relations with the Third World.
