    "ocrText": "FOREWORD\nThe appendices here issued constitute three of the four subcommittee reports on\nwhich ORE 58-48 was based. In general each subcommittee has analyzed and evalu-\nated, within its own sphere of interest and in terms of the assumptions stated for ORE\n58-48, the advantages and disadvantages for the USSR of the presumed operation. The\neconomic, scientific, and military subcommittees have worked by adding the potential\nof the conquered areas to that of the USSR without taking intangible factors and war\ndamage into account. This was considered to be a valid procedure since it was under-\nstood that the intangibles would be given proper weight in the final synthesis of the\nsubcommittees' findings. ORE 58-48 was this synthesis.\nThe report of the military subcommittee has not been included in these appendices\nbecause the material in that report has since been somewhat modified and has appeared\nin various papers prepared for high-level planning purposes.\n1"
