This Agreement, signed three days after the Treaty between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. on the Elimination of Their Interme¬diate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles [at I.L.M. page 84], is referred to as the Basing Country Agreement because U.S. systems subject to the Treaty are based in these five countries. The Agreement confirms that the inspections called for in the INF Treaty will be permitted by the five U.S. Allied Basing Countries and provides the legal basis for the U.S. to make its commitment to the Soviets with regard to Soviet inspections in Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The Basing Countries for Soviet Union are the German Democratic Republic and Czechoslovakia.

Victor Grossman's A Socialist Defector: From Harvard to Karl-Marx-Allee is at once an exciting adventure story, an engaging autobiography of a radical opponent of U.S. imperialism, and a clear-headed assessment of the successes and failures of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) at the onset of the Cold War until 1990, when its citizens voted to merge with the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG, West Germany). Most poignantly, Grossman compares the benefits workers gained in the GDR, the FRG, and even the United States during the Cold War.

The German Geophysical Society (Deutsche Geophysikalische Gesellschaft, DGG) was founded in 1922 in Leipzig, Germany, on the initiative of the famous German seismologist Emil Wiechert (1861–1928), known for his fundamental work to record earthquake waves to study the earth's interior. Facing the German historical background of the early 20th century, the 24 founding members wanted to lead German geophysicists out of isolation and toward outreaching activities. DGG always understood and defined geophysics as a discipline beyond political borders, religious belief, or race, and promoted the scientific exchange between geophysicists in the Federal Republic of Germany, the former German Democratic Republic, and internationally.
