1. P$ reeaarks at the Turning Weeting about the most
recent estimate on the India/Pakistan problem were in no
sense meant to be derogatory of the eetimte itself. I an
keenly =osro of the hard labor which mat into the creation
of this paper -- perhaps ins 1 so than so= other national
Intelligence estimates.
2. The purpose of this note is to mks it clear to you
that what I had in the back of v mind was vV earlier comm.
mwnicatl on of 5 August in which I asked for your views on oars
and menus of saki our most important nationa intelligemnae
product more useful to the busy polieb? mmaaber. I know you will
agree with me that the importance of this subJect has not
dimmminiaheda and I do not, awn to suggest for a mmmo mnt that
you have not given it ttmoug st. I si aply- wish to underline
that we must not Use sight of this objective at a tins when
the request for meaningful answers to serious problem are
coming thicker and faster then ever before.
3. I continue to be concerned that an estimate which,
is discursive and interlarded with "u ncrisp" footnotes will
not receive the attention it deserves.
