/AB	`ABSTRACT: Analyzes the struggle among Soviet leaders over the`
	`issue of whether or not to invade Poland in 1980 or 1981 to`
	`halt the growth of Solidarity. By looking carefully at a`
	`variety of public speeches and newspaper articles in the`
	`official soviet press, the author demonstrates that a struggle`
	`did occur and that the concern of other satellite states,`
	`especially East Germany and Czechoslovakia, probably led to the`
	`compromise which required the Polish leaders to impose martial`
	`law if they wanted to avoid outside intervention. (C. R. Lovin)`
