SUBJECT: Conversation with Secretary Vance
6 July 1977
1. Secretary Vance said that he would like to have INR draw
more upon our economic analytic talent. He thinks that we can be
of greater service to them in this area and would like to tap our
capabilities. I told him we would be pleased to take tasking from
them. Request Bob Bowie make contact with Hal Saunders and be sure
that we are aware of the areas in which State would like economic
analysis done.
3. Secretary Vance indicated some disquiet within State over a
briefing I had given the President on Middle East economics. I can
only assume this was a briefing on the economic prospects following
peace in Middle East. I'd appreciate it if DDI would check. with INR
and find where they believe we were off base.

situations orally.
8. I asked how Secretary Vance responded to the "tidbits" from
DDO. He said he generally likes them, but perhaps we could pare them 25X1
down to a little more of the essentials.
