MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE WILLIAM J. CASEY
Director, Central Intelligence Agency
SUBJECT: CIA Support on China S&T Matters
As you know, we have recently` been involved in many S&T
matters regarding China, most in the technology transfer area.
It appears that the trend is for more such issues to come up
in the future. In all of these issues we depend heavily on
the impartial technical judgments of the Agency.
My staff has called to my attention their concern over the
recent abolition of the China Science and Technology Branch in
the DDI. Their concern is that the Agency people who must
provide us with gchnical jud ments on the im2lications of a
certain technology transfer or on China's goals and intentions
in this area, for example, no longer will have a group of
dedicated and technically trained China S&T analysts on which
to draw.
I call this concern to your attention for your consideration.
Willm P. Clark
