The memorandum below is by Joseph Upton of OIR and deals 25X1 A9a with staff memo Noe 2147 dated 1 July on the National Front Movement in Iran, 25X1A9a 2 a Upton and - have since discussed the matter at some 25X1 A9alengtho llllllllllllll~beliaves that if Upton had written the memo after the discussion, the rebuttal might not have been cast in such extreme terms, John is prepared to rebut Uptongs memo at any time. I concur with John9 hovever, that this argument could go on forever and that it might as well be suspended untsil it can be focused on a concrete problem such as revision of NIE 4 6a I also concur in John+s view that both he and Upton are stating their points of view i n rather exaggerated terms and that the truth probably lies in some as yet undefined middle ground. 3, The memo below is therefore being circulated for your information with the recom rld ation that the matter be allowed to lie fallow until. NIEj6 is revised or ND 73 reaches the drafting stage. Fu then news on i sadeq?s resignation may make a revision cf NIE-46 a more immediate problem than a vacations--minded Board and Staff would prefer.
