Abstract
A catastrophic flood, adoption of a new Party Program and a new Five Year Plan, and many Government and Party personnel changes, marked 1966 in the Mongolian People's Republic (MPR). The small Asian country (1,120,000 population) continued to support the USSR against China, and showed no signs of changing that position. Soviet economic assistance continues, while Chinese aid phases out. No great economic or other shifts appear likely, and livestock-raising and yurt (tent) living go on. Continued development of light industry is planned, but no steel mills or gigantic projects. Darkhan, north of Ulan Bator, continues to be the focus of Soviet developmental efforts.
