1. Attached is a cut at the Phung Hoang problem with respect
to the U. S. advisory structure maintained to support it. This paper
grew out of many discussions, including the ones held here with
Ted Shackley, and an extended working dialogue between Jack Horgan
and Colonel Farnham of ISA. It was reviewed in draft form with
George Jacobson at a session hold here at which ?Ias also
present.
2. After you have had a chance to look this over and we have
caucuseed on it among ourselves, I want to send it to the members
of the Sullivan Committee to get their overall reaction. (The ISA
homework, of course, has already been done since they participated
in this paper's development.) If the Sullivan Committee buys this
approach. as it probably will, the next step will be to follow George
Jacobson's suggestion of sending it to the Mission for comment but
doing so in a manner that makes it clear that this is a working draft,
not a fiat or edict from Olympus.
