A REP OF THE EXILED BA ESH GOVERN-
MENT TOLD AN OFFICER OF THE US CONSULATE GENERAL IN
CALCUTTA THAT BENGALI LEADERS WOULD SETTLE FOR LESS
THAN OUTRIGHT INDEPENDENCE. HE SUGGESTED THAT PRIME
MINISTER GANDHI, IMPRISONED EAST PAKISTANI LEADER
MUJIBUR RAHMAN, AND PRESIDENTS NIXON AND YAHYA KHAN
MEET TO SOLVE THE EAST PAKISTAN PROBLEM.
THE BENGALI OFFICIAL DID NOT INDICATE WHAT
SORT OF RELATIONSHIP HE ENVISIONED BETWEEN EAST AND
WEST PAKISTAN, BUT SOME OF HIS PROPOSALS WOULD BE
UNPALATABLE TO PRESIDENT YAHYA. FOR EXAMPLE, HE
EMPHASIZED THAT MUJIB WOULD PLAY A KEY ROLE, AL-
THOUGH YAHYA PLANS TO TRY MUJIB FOR TREASON. THE
BANGLA DESH OFFICIAL ALSO SUGGESTED THAT BENGALI
TROOPS PREDOMINATE IN FORCES STATIONED IN EAST PAK-
ISTAN, BUT WEST PAKISTANIS MIGHT WELL SEE THIS AS
AN ATTEMPT TO ASSURE THE SUCCESS OF THE NEXT REBEL-
LION.
