Series VIII: Organizations: U.S. and Soviet, undated, 1984-1996

This series includes reports, correspondence, notes, conference materials, brochures, news clippings, newsletters, proposals, and video recordings of ASO’s efforts to bring market economics to the Soviet Union/Russia, as well as to promote dialogue and understanding the two countries. ASO founded two organizations to accomplish these goals: East-West TV (previously called American Soviet Economic Education Television, or AMSEE-TV), an educational foundation that produced programs for Russian television explaining market economics, and the Soviet Countertrade Group, an organization that helped private enterprises emerge in the Soviet Union. He was also involved the US-USSR Bridges for Peace/Transnational Institute, a citizens project for dialogue.
