INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM
Pakistan, India, and Communist China:
A change in Re ations?
For at least the past five years, Pakistan's
need for Chinese support against India has dominated
its foreign policy. Some time next summer, a mainly
East Pakistani civilian government may well replace
the present predominantly West Pakistani military
government. The foreign policy views of such a gov-
ernment would differ from those of its predecessor.
This memorandum explores some of the factors that
will work both for and against change in Islamabad's
policy towards New Delhi and Peking.
Note: This memorandum was prepared by the Office of
Current Intelligence and coordinated within CIA.
