The Honorable
William E. Colby
Director
Central Intelligence Agency
Washington, D, C.
Dear Mr. Colby:
As you know, the President has recently submitted supplemental
aid requests for Vietnam and Cambodia. We are presently assembling
information on the current situation in these two countries so as to
enable ourselves to make informed judgments regarding the requests
xeceived from the Executive Branch.
In this connection I would like to request, at the suggestion
of Senator Case but on behalf of the entire Cor~mlittee, that the
Central Intelligence Agency provide the Committee with its most recent
National Intelligence Estimates on Vietnam and Cambodia. We under-
stand that a new NIE entitled, "Short Term Prospects for Vietnam" was
completed sometime late last year. We would like to have a copy of
that study, together with the corresponding study on Cambodia, to be
held in the Corrnnittee offices in the Capitol for the examination of
our Members and two key staff officers.
Your early response and attention to this request will be
appreciated.
Sincerely,
John Spar
