Dear Mr. Moore:
This is to acknowledge your thoughtful letter thanking
the members of this Directorate for their work in support
of the NSC Task Force's preparations for the current Law
of the Sea Conference at Caracas. We are pleased that we
could be of help and look fo'r and to Continuing Our
assistance through the next round of negotiations at
Vienna.
In that connection, we have recently completed an
internal survey of the impact of Law of the Sea inte ' 'fence
support requirements on the resources of this Direct?::rr--e.
We are satisfied that we can acconsnodate this sort of
workload in the months ahead, but are uncertain about
whether the Task Force's needs will, in fact, be the sane
in the post.-Caracas period.
I would like to propose that, at some point soon
after the current talks are concluded, a meeting be held
between representatives of the Task Force and this
Directorate. The purpose of this meeting would be to
assess, in the light of the experience of our negotiators
at Caracas, the utility of the support CIA has rendered
to elate and to agree on requirements for the remainder:
J
of FY 1975.
Mr. John Kerry King, Director of the Office of Basic
and Geographic Intelli once, is continuing as Coordinator
of this Agency's efforts in support of the NSC Interagency
