I know this is slightly off-topic, but each year, the Soviet Embassy would go to the US GPO and buy all the budget documents, discussion documents, etc published each year by the US Government through the GPO and then fly them out to the USSR, where they'd be analyzed.
You can learn a lot from the UNCLASS versions the GPO makes available.
