~JBJ: PROPOSED COUNTERMEASURES TO GDR DECREES 
! THE MISSION NOTES THAT SINCE 1954 THE ATC HAS ISSUED LTD 9 S FREE. SINCE INCREASED TRANSIT AND VISA CHARGES ARE A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR OF RECENT EAST GERMAN TRAVEL MEASURES, IT IS PROPOSED THAT INSTITUTION OF A 10-20 DM WEST FEE FOR EACH !TD MIGHT OFFER AN APPROPRIATE AND VISABLE ALLIED RE­
S?O:lSE. 
2• SI NCE INSTITUTION OF A TTD FEE WOULD IN NO WAY DISCRIMINATE AGA INST ANY HOST COUNTRY OR AGAINST ANY CATEGORY OF EAST :EHMAN TRAVELERS, WE BELIEVE IT CAN BE UNDERTAKEN AS AN ";\L1~1LlISTRATIVE MEASURE .. WITHOUT REFERENCE TO NATO • 
.::o WE wouLD ALSO SUGGEST THAT THE MONEY COLLE;CTED BY THESE ~~25 BE DEVOTED TO ~BERLIN AID," POSSIBLY VIA THE FEDERAL 
30'/ ER NMENT.
