C. 20515 The Honorable Dick Cheney United States House of Representatives 225 Cannon House Office Building Washington, D. C. 20515 Dear Newt and Dick, Executive Registry 85- I very much enjoyed our breakfast. I have asked Bob Keating, who is currently our Ambassador to Madagascar and is doing some work for the NSC on international development, to follow up on Newt's request for additional information on an investment banking approach to AID. I have asked a small group here to put together for me what's going on and what ideas are floating around on improving low intensity conflict capabilities and tactical, strategic, doctrinal and technological enhancements. We will follow through with a further discussion with you at some other point. I will be glad to talk to you further in the meantime with respect to the legislative initiative you have in mind. I am asking our people to gather material on the Sovietization o Central Asia as a model for what's happening in Afghanistan. Yours,; STAT illiam J. Casey Approved For Release 2009/09/04: CIA-RDP87M0022OR000400460014-3
