註釋

This memorandum centers its attention primarily upon Afghanistan and Iran. Soviet interests in Iran are inextricably connected to the Afghanistan issue since a Soviet foothold in the latter presents both opportunities and risks in a policy aimed at, if not control, then influence projection into Iran. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, then, can be viewed not only in the context of securing stability on the USSR's southern border, but also in the broader context of an extension of Soviet hegemony into the Persian Gulf.
