both (Koreas) might come to feel that the talks were jeopardizing military
support felt to be essential." Mr. Huizenga expects to have more information

NOTE : At the USIB meeting of 13 January 1972 Admiral Gayler
requested that the Board consider estimative judgments
regarding the future viability of US SIGINT installations
in certain countries of the world as related to the political
situation in those countries. It was agreed that in lieu of
making this type of judgment in a .national estimate, the
subject would be treated in a separate BNE memorandum
to USIB for noting at the same time as the Board considered
the relevant estimate. This has been done for the three
estimates (see Tabs) scheduled for the 11 May USIB Meeting.
