SUBJECT : Current Correspondence
There follows a summary of the more trivial items received
in the past couple days, which might nevertheless pique your interest:
A. has sent the DCI a copy of an ORPA/OER paper
on the impact o a Play in our normalization of our relations with
Cuba. Its conclusions: Delay would cause little political or
economic effect on our interests, but it would engender some
criticism on the part of Third World countries and some of our
friends in Western Europe.
B. DDI has sent a memorandum to the DCI, "Zaire: Implications
of the Moroccan Involvement." Summary: The Moroccan troops may turn
the situation for Mobutu. There is still no clear evidence of Angolan
or Cuban involvement inside Shaba, but the presence of some Angolan and
possibly Cuban advisers cannot be discounted. Angola probably did not
assume Mobutu would receive as much foreign assistance as he has.
C. DDI has sent the DCI a study on "The Impact of 200 Mile
Boundary Claims on the Soviet and Japanese Fishing Industries."
E.1 sent the DCI a memo recommending that the DCI invite
Secretary Blumenthal to lunch, along with the Treasury Undersecretary
for Monetary Affairs and tleExecutive_Director of the Economic Policv Grouo
(EPG). He and Maurice Ernst have already met with the EPG man with a
view towards improving CIA support.

F. DDI has sent the Director a paper, "CIA Relations with the
Treasury Department." It outlines our role as a producer of intelligence
H. DDI has sent the DCI a memorandum, "Rhodesia: A Political
Challenge to Prime Minister Smith." Summary: Smith's program for
an independent settlement has provoked a backlash from the right wing
of his party, which threatens his political career. A special Congress
of his party, on April 18, will be asked to decide whether he has
gone too far. Serious results, such as dissolution of Parliament,
and call for a new election, cannot be ruled out.
K. DDA has sent the DCI a memo describing Agency real estate
in terms of personnel capacity and square footage.
