This unclassified Central Intelligence Agency message of 4 January 1991 adds to an earlier PMU pressfax transmission. It describes INTERPULS, a Soviet-U.S. edition of Komsomolskaya Pravda that PMU received by pressfax on 24 December 1990. The same paper came as a pullout supplement in the 25 December 1990 issue. The message lists the editors and the publishers in Denver and Moscow, and gives a circulation of 21,925,000. It notes that the first issue had no hard news, only features on UFOs, Arnold Schwarzenegger and skateboarding, and that PMU has no plans to cover it.
