 Main Findings of Colloquium Held 17th-19th March, 1976. Brussels. 350 p. 

 Colloquium on the issues of growth of technology transfers, its advantages 

 and risks. ". . . The discussions centered on the impact of this co-operation 

 on the economies of the Communist countries in Eastern Europe, and espe- 

 cially on the extent to which imports from the West of high technology 

 licenses and capital equipment could contribute to the growth of the Soviet 

 economy." Also discussed was the change in U.S.S.R. policies towards 

 importation from the West and the difficulties of Soviet absorption of imports 

 due to the Soviet bureaucracy.

 This is one of a series of reports that examine the nature and impact of 

 U.S. computer technology relative to that of the Soviet Union, and the 

 military advantages that the United States may be able to achieve through 

 applications of advanced computer technology. This particular report 

 presents a model for measuring the cost to both sides to realize in the future, 

 various U.S. to S.U. strategic power ratios, in terms of the percentages of 

 strategic forces that would need to be modernized, given different relative 

 military technology levels. A numerical run of the model shows that increases 

 in the Soviet growth rate in computer technology beyond the historical rate 

 can have significant implications for the required modernization of U.S. forces 

 if a desired strategic power ratio is to be maintained.
