Morning Meeting of 10 February 1967
DD/I discussed possible problems resulting from a call to the
Director from last night. No further action was neces-
sary.
DD/I noted a CINCPAC message concerning an increase in water
transport from North to South in Vietnam. The Director asked that
this be continuously watched and carefully analyzed.
DD/I called attention to a Soviet statement in the New York Times
reflecting concern over the maintenance of the rail links to North Vietnam.
All major military equipment from the USSR to North Vietnam is moved
by this mode of transport.
DD/I called the Director's attention to an Air Force contract with
the University of Colorado on UFO's. In this connection, Dr. Condon
called Art Lundahl to ask for technical support. The amount of work
would be minimal. DD/I was inclined to offer NPIC's services. The
Director agreed.
Godfrey reported that OCI will be coordinating today with ONE a
draft paper on the possible effects of a disruption by China of Soviet
supplies to North Vietnam.
Godfrey briefed the Director on internal Chinese developments.
Kent reported a call from Allan Evans asking for a crash up-date
of the pre-Christmas Estimate on withdrawal of forces from Europe.
The Director is not disposed to handle such a paper prior to the regular
USIB meeting next Thursday. DDCI felt that, prior to undertaking any
Estimate, we should have a coordinated, written statement of require-
ments. (See Action 1)
Kent noted that ONE is preparing written conclusions for the
disarmament Estimate and also a spread sheet for Admiral Lowrance
in accord with the Director's wishes.

ings. He and the A-DD/S&T will meet with the Director after the

incidents are directly attributable to U. S. initiatives. He described
the role played by the Tet practice of setting off fireworks in con-
tributing to the number of alleged cease-fire violations.
DD/P called attention to an exchange of cables between the Depart-
ment and the Embassy in Saigon.
Warner noted
Ashmore.
spent 90 minutes with Representative
A-DD/S&T called attention to a New York Times article in which
Kosygin did not appear to close the door on ABM talks. The Director
called attention to an article in last night's Washington Star on ABM's.
In reply to a question A-DD/S&T assured the Director that we
are relatively certain of our facts on the Soviet orbital bombardment
system.
DDCI noted a radio news item this morning alleging the theft
in China of some documents concerning nuclear weapons.
The Director said that he will be away Monday and Tuesday,
returning Tuesday night.
ACTION:
1. The Director asked Kent to call Gene Rostow and/or John
McNaughton to ascertain the reasons for such a crash request.
