Regarding the police secret police, please find enclosed in article from The Globe and Mail. As to the military intelligence section of the Polish Ministry of Defence, on 18 October 1989, the Polish government announced that the budget of the Defence Ministry would be cut. This cut would include a shift of food and medical supplies away from military units, into the civilian sector. The report did not mention whether or not the intelligence sector would be reduced. [ "Solidarity government in Poland to cut military outlays, subsidies," The Globe and Mail, 19 October 1989, p. A16.] A source at the Department of National Defence states that the military intelligence section still exists and functions much as it has previously. Additional information could not be obtained over the telephone but the IRBDC is waiting for a response to written questions submitted. [Information received by telephone from the Department of National Defence Headquarters, Ottawa, 21 February 1990.]
