had bee4. prepared, and state that it was not to be considered or used
as an intelligence paper which had been formally approved by the
IAC or CIA. The members concurred in this suggestion.
During the course of the discussion, Mr. Cummingg expressed
the appreciation of the State Department for the work done by the
working group, stating that the paper was very useful and would
satisfactorily meet the Department's requirement. With respect to
the question of further studies of this problem (paragraph 3, page 3),
Mr. Cumming noted that the Department did not contemplate. requesting
such additional studies at this time. In his comments., General Schweizer
emphasized that certain statements in the report (e. g.., paragraph 4 c)
should be treated with caution and read only in the context of the entire
report, since their validity depended on the extent to which many
pertinent factors had been considered.
Following their exchange of views the members noted the
Chairman's statement that he would forward this report to the State
Department with a letter of transmittal drafted in the light of this
discussion.
Dr. Allen expressed his thanks to those individuals, both in
Washington and in the field, who had assisted in the preparation of
this report.
