Harriet Koch /NR/RSF/GE - Robert D. Hodgson, mr., Cox's Letter INDIA-L-27-68 Jui?e 17, 1968 , As requested in Bill ?Cox's letter cited above, we have looked into the question of the length of India's boundaries. On the whole, Bill's figures are a bit short due to the small-scale of the map used in the measurement. Our figures, with comments where necessary, are as follows: 1. NORTHERN BORDER as defined in his letter 3,070 miles 2. NEPAL - CHINA 670 miles (IBS-50) 3. NEPAL 1,050 miles 4. BHUTAN - INDIA 376 " 5. BHUTAN CHINA 300 6. BIUTAN SIKKIM 19.3 " , 7. SKIM IIWIA 60.2 " 8. snaam CHINA 140 9. INDIA - EAST PAKISTAN 2,491 (431E Sabhastatement) West Benegal Assam 0 Tripura 2,491 104 INDIA - BURMA 872 .11. EAST PAKISTAN - BURMA is '142 12. VEST PAKISTAN - INDIA uding Rann of Kutch and Jammu-Kashm 969 (Lok Sabha statement) 13. WEST PAKISTAN - INDIA (Rann,of Kutch) 410 (Subtraction 14-12) 14.

Bill's re is as good az anY for Jarmiu??? Kashmir since we do not have it y scale larger than 1:1,0003000. However, on past measurement s0I would guess the Jammu-Kashmir .enth is about 25% greater than the 11,0003000 figure . at least. 3,890 miles All uncited figures tame from map measurements of 1:2504000 132533440. - 0 UNC se les Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/16: CIA-RDP08C01297R000200140002-5 ?
