MEMORANDUM FOR: Brigadier General Brent Scowcroft, USAF
Deputy Assistant to the President for
National Security Affairs
SUBJECT : Additional Input to Dr. Kissinger's Briefing Book
1. Attached hereto are five copies of the third of the three papers
Ambassador Sullivan asked us to prepare for Dr. Kissinger's briefing book:
"Communist Allegations of U.S. and GVN Violations of the 27 January Vietnam
Agreement." (The first two of the requested inputs were sent down earlier
this afternoon.)
2. The attached paper is based in large measure on a submission
prepared by the U.S. Embassy in Saigon and relayed via Agency channels.
The two earlier papers in this group of three were prepared entirely by CIA.
Though DAO/DRSTO, or elements thereof, may have had a hand in the
Embassy input to this third paper, no component of the Defense Department
in Washington participated in this exercise. To the best of our knowledge,
the Defense Department is not aware of the briefing book exercise or the
fact that these three papers were requested.
3. The distribution of the attached third paper is identical to that
of its two companion predecessors: five copies to the NCS Staff and one
copy to Ambassador Sullivan. We will make no further dissemination unless
or until we are directed to do so by Dr. Kissinger.
