SUBJECT: DDCI Luncheon with Deputy Secretary of State on 16 May 1986
1. Also in attendance were Morton Abramowitz,) and John
Helgerson.
2. The Deputy Secretary inquir views as to what was going on
e our
f
between Afghanistan and Pakistan. DDCI outlined views as expressed to
SecDef at breakfast. Whitehead expressed concern that CIA was expressing
reservations about Pakistan's willingness to hold out in the negotiations
for minimum acceptable Soviet terms and that these reservations might be
interpreted as questioning Pakistan's steadfastness with regard to
Afghanistan. Whitehead and Abramowitz both made it clear that they
believed that Zia and other Pakistanis were much more skeptical and tough
3. In this connection, DDCI raised the serious problem of State
Department not providing NODIS or reports on telephone conversations
relating to the Afghan/Pakistani negotiations or any contacts with the
Soviets in this regard. DDCI noted that CIA views of Pakistani
steadfastness might be materially affected if we knew what State was
saying to the Pakistanis or warnings we were giving and Pakistani
responses. There was considerable discussion of this. Whitehead
expressed the view that the present situation with CIA not getting the
material or not having access to the material was intolerable and
directed Abramowitz to talk to the Executive Secretary of the Department
using his name to get the situation clarified.
4. DDCI briefed on the overall outcome of the SSCI markup,

6. There was considerable discussion of the Israeli-Syrian
situation, including Israeli uncertainty about what to do next and the
possibility of some sort of Syrian military initiative at some point in
the future to try and get part of the Golan. There was agreement that
the Israelis genuinely do not seem to know what to do next with respect
to either Lebanon or Syria.
8. DDCI gave Whitehead and Abramowitz copies of the Philippine Task
Force Report as well as the OGI paper on Libya's manipulation of
financial institutions, especially to support terrorism.
