two documents and extracts from other reports which they will return to us

Jim Lilley, NIO/China, to a briefing of Senator John Glenn.(D., Ohio) in
connection with his upcoming trip to China. The Senator was primarily
interested in military and technological developments, but there was also

be invited to visit some Chinese weapons or space facilities and asked for
reports on the Chinese space and weapons programs. Lilley is gathering
a package of materials. I arranged with Senator Glenn and subsequently
with Ben Marshall, Security Director, Senate Select Co:rnxnittee on Intelligence,

basis and for Senator Glenn to review them there.
