Subject: Russian Officer Correspondent Sought
Greetings to Russia!
I am a United States Army officer who wished to correspond with
an officer of the Russian Army on matters of personal and professional
interest. I believe stronger ties between our sevices is essential in
this era.

I would like to contact someone who speaks English at the Russian Cosmonaut
Training Center in Star City, near Moscow. I am planning a trip there this

Thanks,
