In this paper a sufficient condition for the local \(CR\) embedding of a smooth abstract \(CR\) manifold \(M\) of type \((n, k)\) into another smooth abstract \(CR\) manifold \(\widetilde M\) of type \((n + l, k - l)\) is given. The authors obtain an actual local embedding into \(\mathbb C^{n+ k}\) if \(l = k\); and in this case the sufficient condition is also necessary for the local embedding. The condition concerns the existence of an \(l\)-dimensional solvable Lie subalgebra, transversal to the \(CR\) structure of \(\mathcal N/\mathcal C^{0,1}M,\) where \(\mathcal N\) is the normalizer of the Lie algebra \(\mathcal C^{0,1}M\) of complex vector fields of bidegree \((0, 1).\) It has been known for a long time that real analytic \(CR\) structures of any type \((n, k)\) are locally embeddable in \(\mathbb C^{n+ k},\) and that smooth \(CR\) structures may not be. Two examples are considered. In the first example, a complete embedding of a not real analytic structure is obtained. In the second example, a \(CR\) embedding of a \(CR\) manifold M into another \(CR\) manifold \(M,\) of higher \(CR\) dimension, in a situation where \(\widetilde M\) is not completely embeddable, is given.
