I zu very pleased to hear from you and to
you have s-irvived the rigcir8 of life in California.
My cartographic friends tell me that unfortunately
there is no map folio of the Middle East. The only ones in
existence -re on China and Vietnam. Because of the expense,
it is doubtful if a folio will be prepared on the Middle East
any time 850n.
All i not hopeless, however. We do have some very
good unclassified maps of Middle Eastern countries, and the
people who produce the maps welcome the opportunity to make
sets available to academic institutions. They have agreed to
;end you, six sets of maps on the following countries (the only
"Middle East" countries Which are available in our unclassified
series): Algeria, C ruse, Jordan, Israel, Afghanistan, Nepal,
India, Pakistan. Hope
this will be of help.
Mar~r and I send our warmest regards to you and Ruth.
ok forward to hearing of your adventures in the violence-
ca?oemic community.
Yours very truly,

Greetings from the state that some believe is about
to slip into the sea and that others wish would. With
some sadness I realize that my year here is more than half gone.
And I have-ntt tried anywhere near enough eateries in San
Francisco.
Anyhow,.w, I am writing to solicit a small piece of infor-
mation. There has recently appeared in the Hoover Far East
collection a !lap Folio (China) issued by Office of Basic and.
Geograpt+ic Intelligence. The people whom I see most of here,
namely the Middle Eastern curator's staff, have looked at it
with envy z.nd asked me if such a folio or folios were available
on any or all parts of the riddle East.
Are trey? 11yy own guess was that O/B&GI is covering the
world in order of priority and thak the Middle mast lay a
long way below China, Vietnam, and the like, but not quite
as far down as Anguilla. haven't seen the folio, but it
is unclassified and apparently similar to ones I have seen
on Vietnam.
If you could make an enquiry without inconvenience,
I Would aporeci_ateit. Best. regards to T ary and yourself
form both of us.
Sincerely.,
Johfl F. Devlin
