Dear Academicia Enginy Velikhov:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter to Vice President Quayle on "The
Permanent Exhibit of Soviet Technologies." Dr. Karl Jackson, Vice President Quayle's
Assistant for National Security Affairs, referred your letter to me.
The idea of a permanent exhibit, in Moscow and Washington, of technologies developed
in the former Soviet Union is intriguing. Certainly, U.S. industry is not fully aware of
the plethora of technologies developed in your country. Proper marketing of these
technologies could prove to be a constructive step in broadening science and technology
interaction with the U.S. private sector. This, I believe, is a goal shared by both
countries.
I would welcome the opportunity to learn more about this concept. In your letter you
identified Mr. Arnold Lipman of INTEX as your representative in Washington. Please
have Mr. Lipman contact Mr. John O'Neil of my staff to arrange the details. His
telephone number is 202-395-3272.

SUBJECT: REPORTING CABLE ON ACADEMICIAN SULTANGAZIN'S
MEETING WITH DR. D. ALLAN BROMLEY ON MAY 19, 1992
SUMMARY:
END SUMMARY.
ACADEMICIAN UMIRZAK SULTANGAZIN CALLED ON DR. D. ALLAN
BROMLEY, THE ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY AT 4: 30 PM IN ROOM 358 OF THE OLD EXECUTIVE OFFICE
BUILDING. SULTANGAZIN WAS ACCOMPANIED BY AN INTERPRETER. DR.
BROMLEY WAS JOINED BY DR. J. THOMAS RATCHFORD AND JOHN O'NEIL
OF OSTP, AND CATHY KAVALEC OF THE KAZAKH DESK, STATE.
SULTANGAZIN WAS IN WASHINGTON IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE VISIT OF
THE PRESIDENT OF KAZAKHSTAN, NURSULTAN NAZARBAYEV.
ACADEMICIAN SULTANGAZIN BEGAN BY DISCUSSING S&T LEGISLATION
2
AND MANAGEMENT IN KAZAKHSTAN. HE REPORTED THAT HE HAD LED A
GROUP TO PREPARE S&T LEGISLATION. HE LAMENTED THAT SINCE
THERE WAS NO SPECIAL LEGISLATION FOR S&T NOR TALK OF A LAW
governing science (?)
GOVERNED SOCIETY IN THE USSR, THE GROUP STUDIED LEGISLATION AND
MANAGEMENT STRUCTURES IN A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES, BUT CHIEFLY
THE U.S. MODEL.
HE POINTED OUT THAT HIS PURPOSE WAS NOT TO CRITICIZE THE SOVIET
SYSTEM, UNDER WHICH SCIENCE HAD ADVANCED. BUT, HE SAID, IT IS
NOW TIME TO JOIN THE WORLD COMMUNITY AND SINCE REFORMS COME
20 YEARS LATE IN KAZAKHSTAN, THEY FACE WHAT HE CHARACTERIZED
AS A DISASTROUS SITUATION.
SULTANGAZIN REPORTED THAT HIS ACADEMY WAS FOUNDED 50 YEARS
AGO AND INCLUDES DEPARTMENTS OF: MATHEMATICS; PHYSICS;
NUCLEAR PHYSICS (WITH 900 PERSONNEL, A THIRD OF WHOM ARE
RESEARCHERS); HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS (INCLUDING COSMIC RAY
INVESTIGATIONS); PHYSICAL-TECHNICAL; AND ASTRO-PHYSICS (WHICH HE
SINGLED OUT AS WELL-DEVELOPED AND INCLUDING SOME OUTSTANDING
SCIENTISTS.) COMMENT: THE LONGER HE DESCRIBED THE INSTITUTES OF
THE ACADEMY THE LESS CLEAR IT WAS WHETHER HE WAS DISCUSSING
DEPARTMENTS OR INSTITUTES. HE MENTIONED AT THIS POINT THAT
FORMERLY HE WAS HEAD OF THE MATHEMATICS AND MECHANICS
3
INSTITUTE.
HE REPORTED THAT HE HAD MET WITH MR. SAMUEL KELLER, ASSOCIATE
DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR OF NASA, AND THAT THEY WERE PURSUING
COOPERATION IN THE ENVIRONMENT. SULTANGAZIN ADMITTED THAT
THE ENVIRONMENT WAS A PROBLEM LATELY IN KAZAKHSTAN. HE CITED
THE ARAL SEA, SEMIPALATINSK, POLLUTING INDUSTRIES, AND THE
CASPIAN SEA, WHICH HE REPORTED HAS RISEN TWO METERS IN THE PAST
10 YEARS. (HE MENTIONED THAT THE VOLGA IS RISING AS WELL.) HE
LAMENTED THAT THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS BUT FEW THEORIES,
ALTHOUGH HE OFFERED THAT MOVEMENT OF TECTONIC PLATES MAY
ACCOUNT FOR THE RISING WATERS. HE ASKED IF THERE WAS INTEREST
IN COOPERATION AND RELAYED THAT THERE ARE MANY PROPOSALS OF
SUPPORT FROM THE AMERICAN SCIENCE COMMUNITY IN DEALING WITH
THE ARAL SEA BUT THAT THEY MUST BE REALISTIC. HE STATED THAT
TONS OF SALT ARE EMITTED INTO THE AIR FROM AREAS THAT HAD BEEN
UNDER WATER IN THE ARAL SEA. THIS POLLUTION ADVERSELY AFFECTS
THE PEOPLE AND THE GROUND WATER WHICH IS SINKING. HE REPORTED
DISCUSSION OF DEVELOPING A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR THIS
PROBLEM, BUT INDICATED HE WOULD LIKE HELP IN DEVELOPING THE
MODEL AND IN ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING.
4
HE THEN PROPOSED TRAINING THROUGH AN EXCHANGE PROGRAM. HE
RECOUNTED HIS OBSERVATIONS WHILE AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN 1978.
CITING THE CASE OF CHINESE, HE SAID WHEN THE U.S. RECOGNIZED THE
PRC, ONE RESULT WAS A GREAT NUMBER OF CHINESE STUDENTS
STUDYING IN THE U.S. THIS TRAINING OF CHINESE STUDENTS, HE SAID,
PLAYED A LARGE ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF S&T IN PRC. HE
ADMITTED THAT NOTHING HAD BEEN PREPARED FOR SIGNATURE ON THIS
VISIT BUT THAT PRESIDENT NAZARBAYEV HAD INSTRUCTED HIM TO
DETERMINE THE POSSIBILITIES FOR SUCH A PROGRAM.
DR. BROMLEY REPLIED THAT IN THIS COUNTRY EACH COLLEGE AND
UNIVERSITY ACCEPTS OR REJECTS STUDENTS ON ITS OWN INITIATIVE. HE
ADMITTED THAT SOMETIMES THE U.S. DOES HAVE PROGRAMS OF
SUPPORT BUT THAT FOREIGN STUDENTS ALSO MUST APPLY TO A
UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE. STUDENTS FROM THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY,
EUROPE, ASIA, AND OTHERS REQUEST SUPPORT, JUST AS MANY
AMERICANS DO. HOWEVER, AT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LEVEL, THE
ABILITY TO PROVIDE SUPPORT IS LIMITED. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
HAS NO CONTROL OVER WHICH STUDENTS ARE ACCEPTED OR REJECTED
BY SCHOOLS. THE U.S. MAY FACILITATE, BUT IN THE PRC EXAMPLE, THE
CHINESE HAD PRESELECTED THE STUDENTS so ONLY THE BEST APPLIED
FOR ADMISSION TO U.S. SCHOOLS. HE THEN OFFERED THAT KAZAKHSTAN
5
COULD DO THIS AS WELL. WHEN SULTANGAZIN STATED THAT FUNDS
WERE THE MAJOR OBSTACLE, DR. BROMLEY REMINDED HIM THAT
POSITIONS IN AMERICAN SCHOOLS WAS A PROBLEM, TOO.
SULTANGAZIN THEN MENTIONED DEVELOPMENT OF AN INSTITUTE WHICH
HE CHARACTERIZED AS OF MUTUAL BENEFIT TO THE U.S. AND
KAZAKHSTAN. HE SAID THAT HE HAD DISCUSSED SUCH AS INSTITUTE FOR
SPACE AND BAIKONUR WITH MR. KELLER WHO EXPRESSED INTEREST IN
THE MISSION TO MARS AND THEREFORE IN MOCKUPS OF REACTORS FOR
LONG SPACE FLIGHTS. DR. BROMLEY ASKED IF THE U.S. DELEGATION
VISITING
TO
RUSSIA TO DETERMINE SPACE ITEMS OF MUTUAL INTEREST
WOULD VISIT KAZAKHSTAN AS WELL. SULTANGAZIN WAS UNAWARE OF
THIS DELEGATION BUT CATEGORIZED THIS TYPE OF ACTIVITY AS AN
EXAMPLE OF AN AREA IN WHERE BOTH SIDES HAVE SPECIALISTS.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE, HE SAID, WAS SEMICONDUCTORS.
DR. BROMLEY PRESENTED THE ISSUE OF OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY AND
Technological
DEVELOPMENTS AS A PROBLEM FACED BY U.S. INDUSTRY IN DOING
BUSINESS WITH THE REPUBLICS OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.
SULTANGAZIN ADMITTED UNCERTAINTY IN THIS AREA BUT OFFERED THAT
THE TREATY ON TRADE SIGNED THE DAY OF HIS MEETING (IN
CONJUNCTION WITH PRESIDENT NAZARBAYEV'S VISIT) MIGHT HELP. THE
POINT WAS MADE THAT THERE WOULD BE NO MAJOR FINANCIAL
6
COMMITMENTS WITHOUT ASSURANCE OF OWNERSHIP RIGHTS.
SULTANGAZIN NOTED THAT KAZAKHSTAN HAS ADOPTED SOME ACTIONS
THAT DEAL WITH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (IPR). HE
CAUTIONED AGAINST HASTE IN THIS MATTER AND RECOMMEND A JOINT
EXPERTS GROUP TO STUDY THE MATTER AND FORMULATE
RECOMMENDATIONS. HE ADDED THAT THE CHEVRON VENTURE DEALS
WITH MANY SCIENTIFIC PROBLEMS. DR. BROMLEY EXPRESSED THE U.S.
INTEREST IN ESTABLISHING A WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND THAT A
JOINT GROUP SOUNDED REASONABLE.
IN A CONTINUATION MEETING WITH DR. RATCHFORD, SULTANGAZIN
REPORTED THE RECENT FORMATION OF A MINISTRY OF SCIENCE IN
KAZAKHSTAN, HEADED BY A KAZAKH MINISTER OF SCIENCE NAMED
SBILSEZAR (PHONETIC). PREVIOUSLY HE HEADED LASER CENTERS IN
SKATURA (PHONETIC) AND ALMA ATA. HE REPORTED THE CURRENT
EFFORT TO INVENTORY APPROXIMATELY 100 INSTITUTES WHICH WILL
COME UNDER THE MINISTRY. THESE INSTITUTES HAD BEEN UNDER THE
CENTER IN THE FORMER USSR.
HE OFFERED THAT THERE ARE NO AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER COUNTRIES
AS OF YET AND SULTANGAZIN THEN HANDED OVER A NUMBER OF
PROPOSALS. DR. RATCHFORD PRESENTED SULTANGAZIN WITH
7
INFORMATION ON THE AGREEMENTS THAT WERE IN EFFECT BETWEEN
THE U.S. AND THE SOVIET UNION AT THE TIME OF ITS DISSOLUTION AND
OFFERED THE POSSIBILITY OF DISCUSSING THESE WITH THE NEW SCIENCE
MINISTER AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE. THERE ENSUED A DISCUSSION
NOTING
OF THE BOTTOM UP APPROACH TO COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND THAT THAT
COOPERATION WITH THE FORMER SOVIET UNION HAD DEVELOPED
TOWARDS THE BOTTOM UP APPROACH. DR. RATCHFORD STRESSED THAT
IN THIS APPROACH GOVERNMENT AGREEMENTS MAY OVERLAY THE
COOPERATION AS A WAY TO FACILITATE COOPERATION. SULTANGAZIN
INDICATED HIS FAMILIARITY WITH THE CONCEPT AND SAID THAT HE
WOULD CONTACT THE U.S. EMBASSY ON AGREEMENTS AND HE HOPED
THAT IN THE FUTURE A HIGH LEVEL DELEGATION MIGHT DISCUSS THE
SUBJECT.
SULTANGAZIN ASKED HOW WE IN THE U.S. MANAGE SCIENCE, AND
SPECIFICALLY, BASIC SCIENCE. DR. RATCHFORD POINTED OUT THAT THE
NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION (NSF) AND THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF
FUNDING
HEALTH (NIH) WERE THE TWO LARGEST ORGANIZATIONS, AMONG A
NUMBER OF ORGANIZATIONS, THAT FUND BASIC SCIENCE IN THIS
COUNTRY. HE MENTIONED THAT THEY USUALLY FUND INDIVIDUALS OR
GROUPS, AND NORMALLY NOT INSTITUTES. HE THEN CITED THE EXAMPLE
OF THE NSF, ITS PEER REVIEW SYSTEM, AND HOW THIS WOULD LEAD TO
8
FUNDING OF A PROJECT. SULTANGAZIN WAS VERY INTERESTED IN THIS
PROCESS AND INQUIRED AS TO ITS RELIABILITY. DR. RATCHFORD
EXPLAINED FURTHER THAT THE SELECTION OF BROAD AREAS OF
SCIENCE, E.G. OCEANS, IS A POLICY DECISION. BUT ONCE THAT DECISION
HAS BEEN MADE, FUNDING IS ENTIRELY ON A PROJECT BASIS. HE-
CONTINUED THAT APPROXIMATELY 30% IS DEVOTED TO SUCH FUNDING,
BUT THE TOTAL IS DERIVED FROM INDIVIDUAL PROJECT FUNDING. HE
ALLOWED THAT SOME HIGH DOLLAR PROJECTS RECEIVE SPECIAL
ATTENTION, E.G. SSC, WHEN SULTANGAZIN ASKED FORMS OF SPECIAL
FUNDING. JUST BEFORE LEAVING FROM THE EXTENDED MEETING, HE
ASKED ABOUT SCIENCE ADVISE TO THE PRESIDENT. DR. RATCHFORD
EXPLAINED THE CONCEPT OF THE PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL OF ADVISORS ON
S&T (PCAST) AND PROMISED TO FORWARD MATERIAL ON PCAST TO
ACADEMICIAN SULTANGAZIN.
