B -- SOVIET POW ACTIVITIES RESEARCH PROJECT SOL MDA94698Q0117 DUE 122998 POC CONTRACT SPECIALIST: Alisa Seawright, 703-695-4905, CONTRACTING OFFICER: Donna Truesdel, 703-695-4905 Services. This requirement is for advisory services, non-personal in nature, in support of the Soviet POW Activities Research Project. BACKGROUND -- The Soviet POW Activities Research Project is an internal Joint Commission Support Directorate initiative to determine the true nature of Soviet involvement in the handling of American POW's in past conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, the Vietman War, and the Cold War. OBJECTIVE: This research is specifically aimed at determining the identites of Soviet GRU and KGB personnel who served in the combat or conflict areas, came into contact with American POW's and may have been involved in the interrogation, exploitation, or transfer of these prisoners to previously undisclosed locations. This effort is aimed at breaking an impasse created by the paucity or, in some cases, a total lack of information made available by nationals of the former Soviet Union with regard to their wartime activities and experiences as they may relate to American capitives, detainees, or POW's held by the former USSR or other Bloc/Communist countries.
