Hi there,Without examination and proper evaluation whatever information I'm providing here is at best an educated guess. You should see your doctor if the symptoms persists.It sounds like you are having hypersensitive airways after flu. Also possible is infection of the lungs and bronchitis as you are continuing to smoke. With past history of double malignancy and in case of doubt if the doctor doesn't think its because of infection, getting a plain Chest xray is not a bad idea either.Regards",Confidential "My husband and I have decided to start trying for our first child together (we each have a child from a previous marriage).

He did not ejaculate inside me but to be on the safer side I took an I-pill within two hours. Now, I am two days late and I have a brownish discharge since yesterday. I thought it was my period. But it clearly is not. What is it? Could there be a chance that I could be pregnant? Hello. The days you mentioned are nearing the ovulation period. In a patient who has normal regular cycles of 28 to 30 days, ovulation occurs on the 14th or the 15th day when chances of pregnancy are high if you have sex on those days. You have said that there was no ejaculation inside the vagina and you have already taken an I-pill (emergency contraceptive pill) within two hours. So, there are very rare chances of pregnancy. Your current period is late for only two days and you have a brownish discharge. Sometimes due to stress, periods get delayed. You need to wait for four to five days more and I think you will start proper period. But if you do not start your period within a week then you need to do urine pregnancy test. I am sure you will start your periods. Stress is a big factor for delayed periods. For more information consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online -->",Confidential "Hello doctor, I have pain in right knee and recently went through a periodic medical examination. In the report, I found the following advice. Reduce body weight, low-calorie high fiber diet. Avoid Squatting, tablet Thyronorm 75 mg one tablet before breakfast. Recheck lipids, TSH after 12 weeks. Consult orthopedic surgeon. Is there any issue with my health? Hello. Your report does not show your laboratory test (attachment removed to protect patient identity). What we have in the abdominal ultrasound is that you have fatty liver. This is a common problem in patients with metabolic syndrome (overweight, high triglycerides, and low HDL, high blood pressure). This is why you are suggested to reduce body weight and have a low-calorie diet. The Thyronorm is prescribed whenever your thyroid hormones are low (this is called hypothyroidism and it a very common disease). I guess (since I do not know your laboratory results) this is what resulted from your tests. Also, when your thyroid hormones are low you usually gain weight, are constipated, and your triglycerides and cholesterol get higher than usual. You need to take the medication 75 mcg, at least 30 to 40 min before breakfast (in order to be absorbed well by your body), every day and recheck your blood thyroid hormones in 6 to 8 weeks (12 weeks is more than recommended in medical articles). Your weight control usually helps knee problems. Acetaminophen 500 mg every 8 or 12 hours can help with the pain and the swelling. If this persists for more than a week you do need to see an orthopedic surgeon in order to search for the cause.",Confidential "Hello doctor, My fiancee and I had unprotected sex a few days back, but I did not ejaculate inside her. Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage? Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best.

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES Mrs. Imelda Marcos is en route back to the Philippines after having spent a week in Moscow where she met top Soviet officials and participated in cultural events. A Filipino pianist took fifth place in the prestigious Tchaikovsky Piano Competition. She is currently staying in New York for a few days. You last saw Mrs. Marcos during the inauguration of President Marcos in Manila in June 1981. Ambassador-designate Romualdez is Mrs. Marcos' brother and closest confidant. He has just arrived in Washington from Saudi Arabia, in time to prepare for the state visit of President and Mrs. Marcos in mid-September. Although Mrs. Marcos' call is strictly one of courtesy, points of substance could arise. Our objectives are: 1. To help establish a smooth and harmonious atmosphere for the state visit two months hence. 2. To stress once again the long historical friendship between the U.S. and the Philippines, and the excellent state of our relations. II. Issues 1. The State Visit President Ferdinand Marcos will be making his first official visit to Washington in 16 years when he comes in mid-September. We have a mutual interest in ensuring its success. For the U.S., it will be a means of showing our respect and appreciation for a long-time friend and ally who has supported us on a broad range of issues through the years. It will also be important in setting the stage for the scheduled review in 1983 of the Military Bases Agreement, which has an important bearing on our strategic position in East Asia and the Indian Ocean area. Mrs. Marcos is an important political power in her own right. She has steadily consolidated her power base in recent years and played an important part in the preparation for the state visit and will probably wish to have a significant role in it for herself. 2.

Can single small but persistent size of lymph node enough for NHL? Why my lymph node is not getting bigger in its size? How fever is related to cancer/NHL? Can NHL/lymphoma/any other form of cancer occur without any symptoms such as fever, weight loss or night sweat? In NHL, the lymph node can develop inside a chest, in the abdomen and inner side of the body. How can we feel them? Which kind of symptoms occurs if they are in? Please explain. In NHL, How to know the swelling of stomach, spleen, and liver as it is not visible outside? Can a cough occur in NHL? In NHL/lymphoma, can we get any clue from the change (decrease/increase) in the level of blood cells such as WBC and platelets? Hi. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a group of lymphomas, which does not fall into the classification of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Anything which does not fit the criteria of Hodgkin's is NHL. NHL can be caused due to a viral infection like Epstein Barr Virus, radiation, immune-modifying drugs, etc. Any age group can be affected, but particularly above 50 years. Yes, it can occur even without any previous family history. No, it can rise in infections from surrounding areas or even another type of cancers. Virchow's node is one classically for gastric cancer metastasis to that node. Single lymph node, even if persistent is not a classical sign of lymphoma. Usually increase in size, multiple lymph nodes involvement and at 2 or more sites like axillae, femoral, etc. Single site, single lymph node which is persistent, is usually due to chronic inflammation. Due to chronic inflammation over a long time, intra-lymph node fibrosis (just like scar tissue) must have formed, which would not allow it to reduce in size. So, it will remain the same size. If there is no change in size, then nothing to worry about. Cancer particularly NHL can reduce immunity and increase the possibility of infection and hence fever. Also, in cancers, increased metabolism occurs, which can result in increased metabolic rate and hence sweating or fever can be seen. Night sweats particularly indicate cancer/ NHL. Usually, some symptoms will be found. Depends on the location, the involvement of other areas and the stage symptoms can vary. This way, all cancers start small and are not detectable, even by best methods. Internal lymph nodes require radiological investigation like CT, ultrasound etc for evaluation. Based on symptoms, if any, it can be evaluated. If doubtful, get a lymph node biopsy of the Virchow's node to confirm. You can find spleen and liver enlargement by radiological investigations or deep palpation. Stomach requires a definite ultrasound. A cough is not a classical symptom of NHL and usually, in lymphomas, bloods levels are not affected.",Confidential "Status, Redrock Air Permits Bill as per your request, presented below is a status of the air permitting activity by the agencies as of today 11/01/01.

We had proposed stain tubes in the custom fuel monitoring schedule, they wanted us to do wet chemistry.

I CALLED ON PRESIDENT-ELECT MARCOS IN HIS HOME DECEMBER 13 AND HAD A LONG AND VERY SATISFYING DISCUSSION WITH HIM. HE RECEIVED ME IN HIS BEDROOM (HE WAS IN BED WITH A BAD COLD) AND WE TALKED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF. HE WAS VERY FRANK AND OPEN AND SEEMED TO ENJOY THE CONVERSATION. 2. MARCOS SAID HE WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE MESSAGE I HAD BROUGHT FROM PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE LETTER FROM SECRETARY RUSK. HE WOULD BE MAKING A STATEMENT TO THE PRESS LATER IN THE DAY IN WHICH HE WOULD REFER TO THE STRONG STATEMENT OF SUPPORT FOR THE PHILIPPINES IN THE MESSAGE AND LETTER. 3. MARCOS SAID HE WANTED TO HAVE A VERY CLOSE AND CONSTRUCTIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE US. HE WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE US FOR THE SECURITY OF THE PHILIPPINES AND HE WAS DEEPLY APPRECIATIVE OF THE US MILITARY ASSISTANCE. HE SAID HE REALIZED THAT THE US HAD A RESPONSIBILITY TO ITS TROOPS STATIONED IN THE PHILIPPINES AND HE WOULD DO EVERYTHING HE COULD TO MAKE THEIR STAY IN THE PHILIPPINES AS COMFORTABLE AND PLEASANT AS POSSIBLE. HE WOULD BE PREPARED TO GIVE US ANY ASSURANCES WE MIGHT REQUIRE. 4. MARCOS SAID HE HAD NO STRONG FEELING ABOUT NUCLEAR-POWERED SHIPS BUT ASSURED HIM THEY ARE SAFE AND REPRESENT NO UNUSUAL HAZARD. I MENTIONED US GOVT STANDARD STATEMENT ON VISITS AND BRIEFLY TOUCHED UPON POSSIBLE EXCHANGE OF NOTES ON COMPENSATION PROBLEM. HE ABSORBED THIS WITHOUT COMMENT. 5. IN CLOSING I INVITED HIM TO VISIT ENTERPRISE NEXT TIME SHE IS IN SUBIC -- PERHAPS JANUARY -- AND HE SAID HE HOPED VERY MUCH TO VISIT THE SHIP BUT JANUARY MIGHT BE TOO SOON. MARCOS INDICATED IN THE COURSE OF THIS DISCUSSION THAT HE FULLY COMPREHENDED THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE SHIPS FOR FREE-WORLD DEFENSE IN THE FAR EAST AREA. 6. BASE-LAND RELINQUISHMENTS. I INFORMED MARCOS THAT WE SEEM TO HAVE REACHED AGREEMENT WITH DFA ON THE RELINQUISHMENTS AGREEMENT AND THAT SINCE WE HAVE NEGOTIATED IT OVER MANY MONTHS WITH THE MACAPAGAL ADMINISTRATION, WE WOULD BE PREPARED, IF THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO DO SO, TO GO AHEAD AND FINALIZE THE AGREEMENT. MARCOS NODDED HIS ASSENT AND INDICATED HE HAD NO OBJECTION TO OUR SIGNING THE AGREEMENT BEFORE HIS INAUGURATION (SEE SEPTEL FOR HIS COMMENTS TO THE PRESS BEARING ON THIS TOPIC AND SUBSEQUENT MESSAGE TO ME THROUGH BEN ROMUALDEZ THAT HE HAD RECONSIDERED AND WOULD LIKE US TO DRAG OUR FEET ON THIS). 7. KOREANS AT CLARK HOSPITAL. REFERRING TO THE LARGE KOREAN CONTINGENT IN VIETNAM, AND US SUPPORT OF THESE FORCES INCLUDING MEDICAL ASSISTANCE, I TOLD HIM THAT SOME KOREANS BEING EVACUATED TO KOREA THROUGH THE HOSPITAL AT CLARK SAID THAT BATTLE CASUALTIES SOMETIMES ARRIVE WITHIN HOURS AFTER BEING WOUNDED AND UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES PASSPORT AND VISA FORMALITIES ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT FEASIBLE. I SAID THAT KNOWING THE HUMANITARIAN INSTINCTS OF THE PHILIPPINE PEOPLE, I WAS SURE THERE WOULD BE NO OBJECTION TO EVACUATING KOREANS THROUGH CLARK. I TOLD HIM THAT TO ASSIST IN TRANSLATION AND OTHER MATTERS, A KOREAN ARMY MEDICAL OFFICER IS WORKING AT CLARK HOSPITAL WITH OUR PEOPLE. MARCOS INDICATED HE HAD NO OBJECTION TO THIS, BUT SAID FIRMLY THAT HE PREFERRED WE SHOULD NOT TALK ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF THE KOREANS AT CLARK -- THAT WE SHOULD AVOID ANY PUBLICITY ON THIS. 8. TOUR OF US BASES. RECOGNIZING THAT HE WOULD BE EXTREMELY BUSY IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, I SAID NEVERTHELESS OUR BASE COMMANDERS WOULD BE HONORED IF HE WOULD VISIT THE BASES SO THAT WE COULD BRIEF HIM ABOUT US MILITARY ACTIVITIES THERE. I SUGGESTED HE MIGHT WANT TO TAKE ALONG THE FONSEC AND SECDEF AND PERHAPS THE CHAIRMEN OF THE RELEVANT CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES. MARCOS REPLIED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS BUT WAS NOT SURE HOW SOON IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF HIS BUSY SCHEDULE. ~ STATEMENT TO PRESS BY FOREIGN MINISTER ROMULO). I THEN SAID THAT ‘WE WOULD WANT TO BE SURE THAT AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED BEFORE DEC ~ 31 AND THAT WE WOULD NEED TO KNOW SOON WHETHER OR NOT PHILS WANTED TO GO AHEAD WITH AGREEMENT. MARCOS SAID THAT HE WOULD ‘HAVE TO TALK TO HIS ADVISERS ABOUT THIS AND THAT HE WOULD LET ME KNOW. HE SAID HE WAS NOT PREPARED TO COMMIT HIMSELF TO ANY SPECIFIC DATE AT THIS TIME. . - 4. MILITARY ASSISTANCE. I SAID THAT I WANTED TO MENTION TO HIM THE PROBLEM OF MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO THE PHILIPPINES. I SAID THAT I DID NOT WANT TO GO INTO DETAIL AT THIS TIME BUT THAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT HE UNDERSTOOD THAT WE WERE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MILITARY SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES AND THAT WE WERE PREPARED TO DO WHAT WE COULD TO HELP THE PHILIPPINES. I SAID THAT WE WOULD WANT TO WORK WITH THE PHIL- IPPINES TO DEVELOP A MILITARY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WHICH WOULD MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PHILIPPINES.

MARCOS SAID THAT HE WANTED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS IN DETAIL AND THAT HE WOULD BE PREPARED TO DO THIS AT ANY TIME THAT I WISHED. I SAID THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THIS AND THAT I WOULD BE PRE- PARED TO DO SO AT ANY TIME THAT HE WISHED. HE SAID THAT HE WANTED TO TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS BEFORE HE LEFT FOR WASHINGTON ON JANUARY 4.

HE SAID THAT HE WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ME AND THAT HE WAS SURE THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER IN THE FUTURE. HE THEN SAID THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE ME OVER TO THE PALACE FOR A TALK IN THE NEAR FUTURE. I SAID THAT I WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO DO THIS AND THAT I WOULD BE PREPARED TO DO SO AT ANY TIME THAT HE WISHED. HE SAID THAT HE WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN HE WANTED ME TO COME OVER TO THE PALACE. 7. COMMENT: THE CONVERSATION WAS EXTREMELY FRIENDLY AND CORDIAL. MARCOS APPEARED TO BE IN GOOD FORM AND IN GOOD SPIRITS. HE WAS VERY MUCH AT EASE AND APPEARED TO BE VERY CONFIDENT. HE WAS VERY MUCH IN CONTROL OF THE CONVERSATION AND SEEMED TO BE VERY MUCH AT EASE IN DEALING WITH THE PROBLEMS WHICH WE DISCUSSED. IT IS CLEAR THAT HE IS ANXIOUS TO GET ON WITH THE JOB AND THAT HE IS VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN DISCUSSING THE PROBLEMS WHICH WE DISCUSSED. I BELIEVE THAT HE IS VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH THE US AND THAT HE IS VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING A CLOSE WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH US. HIS COMMENTS ON THE QUESTION OF THE RELINQUISHMENT OF BASE-LAND ARE OF PARTICULAR INTEREST. I WOULD APPRECIATE RECEIVING ANY COMMENTS WHICH YOU MAY HAVE ON THE CONVERSATION.

I woke up several times coughing and that caused and even more sharp pain. I looked up on Web MD and put my symptoms in and it pointed most likely to pulmonary embolism . I m scared. Hello, in this question you have not mentioned which area of your back is hurting, is it upper or lower back. PE can mimic back ache (in the upper part of spine), but the pain is more on the front than on the back, there is cough with sputum and often blood can also accompany. The embolus usually arises from the lower limb vessels and after a period of immobilization or major surgery. also your age dosent fit into the risk factors for PE. But other than that there are several other causes of back ache with cough. you should consult a doctor and get your tests done. It can be disc disease or acute spasm also. do not worry. take care.",Confidential People Street House MS He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He He,Confidential "STATE 267163 S E C R E T STATE 267163 ORIGIN SS-25 INFO OCT-01 ADS-00 580-01 /027 P 261730Z SEP 83 FM SECSTATE WASHDC TO AMEMBASSY MANILA PRIORITY S E C R E T STATE 267163 E.O. 12356: DECL:OADR TAGS: PGOV, PINS, RP SUBJECT: AQUINO ASSASSINATION - GALMAN CONNECTIONS REF: MANILA 24562 1.

WE ARE LACKING IN HARD EVIDENCE. BUT SOME OF THESE REPORTS ARE FILTERING IN FROM HIGHLY PLACED PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT AND WITHIN THE ARMED FORCES. IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT ENTERPRISING WESTERN REPORTERS IN TOWN HAVE BEGUN TO PICK UP SOME OF THE STORIES. AS WITNESS THE ARTICLE IN THE SEPTEMBER 26 ""NEWSWEEK"", WHICH WENT ON SALE HERE IN MANILA SEPTEMBER 20. 4. ONE OF OUR BETTER SOURCES, WHO HAS BEEN VERY ACCURATE IN HIS REPORTING ON THE AQUINO ASSASSINATION, AND WHO HAS INTELLIGENCE CONNECTIONS, INFORMED THE AMBASSADOR SEPTEMBER 18 THAT HE UNDERSTOOD GALMAN HAD WORKED FOR EDUARDO ""DANDING"" COJUANGCO, AS A COOK IN THE COCONUT-SEED GARDEN COJUANGCO DEVELOPED IN BUGSOK ISLAND. ACCORDING TO THIS SOURCE, GALMAN WAS AFRAID THAT HE HAD FOUND OUT INFORMATION COULD BE DANGEROUS. HE WAS ALSO AFRAID THAT HIS RELATIVES IN BUGSOK WOULD BE KILLED IF HE DID NOT RETURN THERE. THE SOURCE SAID GALMAN HAD BEEN SUMMONED TO RETURN TO BUGSOK BY A RELATIVE THERE WHO HAS INTELLIGENCE CONNECTIONS, AND THAT GALMAN HAD GONE THERE. THE SOURCE SAID THAT THE INTELLIGENCE OFFICER IN BUGSOK HAD BEEN INFORMED THE DAY BEFORE THE ASSASSINATION THAT GALMAN WAS IN BUGSOK, AND HAD INFORMED THE INTELLIGENCE OFFICE IN MANILA. 5. THE SOURCE SAID THAT GALMAN HAD BEEN WORKING FOR COJUANGCO FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS, BUT THAT HIS EMPLOYMENT IN BUGSOK HAD BEEN TERMINATED SOME MONTHS AGO, AND THAT HE HAD GONE TO MANILA. THE SOURCE SAID HE HAD BEEN TOLD THAT GALMAN WAS NOT IN MANILA ON AUGUST 21, BUT THAT HE HAD GONE TO MANILA FROM BUGSOK ON AUGUST 22, AND HAD RETURNED TO BUGSOK ON AUGUST 23. 6.

THE MOST POLITICALLY SIGNIFICANT POINT AT PRESENT IS THAT SO MANY WELL-PLACED PEOPLE BELIEVE THESE STORIES AND BELIEVE THEY ARE HEARING THEM FROM PERSONS IN A POSITION TO KNOW. WE HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTING MOST OF THIS BECAUSE WE LACK SUBSTANTIATION AND ARE NOT INCLINED TO FEED THE RUMOR MILL.

Credit spreads have widened out in most sectors that demonstrate liquidity and remain unchanged in markets that have yet to find liquidity. The Enron Credit book is net long protection/short risk which should be beneficial to P/L in the short-term, but there is significant default risk remaining in the book. The exposures quoted below are gross notional exposures. There will likely be significant recovery in the event of a default. The primary risk is in the following sectors: Airlines AMR Corp/Del - Short $10MM protection Boeing Co. - Long $20MM protection British Airways Plc - Short $3MM protection Delta Airlines - Short $30MM protection Deutsche Lufthansa AG - Long $17MM protection Quantas Airways Ltd - Short $10MM protection Southwest Airlines - Net flat The positions that we are concerned about are Delta and AMR. Continental has announced that it may miss an interest payment early next week. Insurance/Reinsurance Axa - Short $10MM protection; short $5mm bonds; net short $5mm protection Conseco Inc. - Short $5MM protection; short $4mm bonds; net short $1mm protection Additionally, we have mark-to-market counterparty credit exposure of $5.7mm to CNA, $5.8mm to Ace, 10.7mm to FSL,$3.6mm to MBIA, $10 mm to Mitsui. Reserves have been taken for all counterparty exposure. The biggest concern here is CNA. Lodging/Leisure Carnival Corp. - short $20MM protection Hilton Hotels Corp. - Short $25MM protection Many of the short positions are in the insurance portfolios where we have purchased 2nd loss protection and retain the 1st loss.

ROSTOW THE WHITE HOUSE Subject: Developments on the PHILCAG Appropriation Bill Philippine Defense Secretary Mata late yesterday informed the Manila press that reports about impending withdrawal of the PHILCAG were absolutely without basis. He said some PHILCAG troops were returning to the Philippines as ""normal rotation"" but that troops would be replaced as soon as the Congress appropriates new funds for the PHILCAG. Following the appearance of two Washington UPI stories in Manila that the PHILCAG Bill was in trouble, Embassy Manila talked quietly with UPI and later AP representatives to inform them of Philippine intentions to maintain PHILCAG in Vietnam. We have taken similar action with the press in Washington. In further Senate hearings today, widely carried in Manila press, Philippine government representatives stressed the view that the Philippine commitment to SEATO was central to the presence of Philippine troops in South Vietnam. Philippine UN Ambassador S. P. Lopez asserted the commitment in Vietnam was one of ""national interest, dignity and honor."" Vietnam officials in Manila have appealed for retention of PHILCAG, but the Manila press has given little publicity to these Vietnamese appeals.",Confidential 1. An 2. Service 3. 602069 4.

As you may know, the PUC suspended direct access yesterday but did not do so retroactively. With the 2001 legislative session now over with little resolved, our attention and advocacy will increasing go the PUC. See below. Justin California Takes Step to Reregulate Power By REUTERS AN FRANCISCO, Sept 20 (Reuters) ? State utility regulators revoked the right of Californians to choose their power provider today, tossing out the centerpiece of the state's failed effort to deregulate its electricity industry. The California Public Utilities Commission voted 3 to 2 to immediately suspend consumers' direct access to independent power retailers. The move makes it easier for the state to use revenue from retail power sales to finance a record $12.5 billion bond issue this year. The department was chosen in January to secure electricity for most of California's 34 million residents after soaring wholesale power prices drained the state's two biggest utilities of their cash and credit. ""Direct access is one half of a failed and collapsed deregulation project,"" a commissioner, Carl Wood, said today. Mr. Wood said the other half of the problem was the law's retail rate cap, which blocked utilities from passing on the cost of power to customers, incorrectly assuming wholesale prices would fall. When energy supplies tightened and prices soared, the state's largest utility, Pacific Gas and Electric Company , a unit of PG&E Corporation , and Edison International 's Southern California Edison had to absorb $13 billion in unanticipated costs. Direct access was never a big hit. Despite an $80 million advertising and public relations campaign to educate Californians about deregulation and retail choice, most customers stayed with their local utilities. Big businesses and industrial customers, however, made deals with energy companies for cheap bulk power and wanted them to continue. The utility commission estimated that 5 percent of the state's peak electricity demand of 46,000 megawatts is in direct access contracts. About 10,000 businesses that signed new deals this summer, when wholesale power prices dropped, will be able to keep their contracts.",Public "I on . a a dear} TOP SECRET/ExD13 Tb [ a4 | EXCISE kt a SECRETARY’S MORNING SUMMARY FOR JUNE 31, 1389 1.

The supply depot and repair facilities at Subic Bay are essential for the maintenance of the high state of readiness of the 7th Fleet. The supply depot is the only one in the Western Pacific which can provide the variety and volume of supplies needed by the 7th Fleet. The repair facilities are essential for the maintenance of the high state of readiness of the 7th Fleet. These facilities are also essential to the logistic support of US forces in the Indian Ocean. The US Navy's Western Pacific forces are the only US forces available to respond to incidents in the Indian Ocean. Other Facilities In addition to Clark and Subic Bay, the US has a number of other facilities in the Philippines. These are primarily communications and logistics facilities, but include a small number of other activities. The most significant of these are the San Miguel Naval Communications Station, the Sangley Point Naval Station, and the Mactan Island. Air Station. All of these facilities are essential to the logistic support of the US Navy's Western Pacific forces. The San Miguel Naval Communications Station is the only facility in the Western Pacific which can provide the necessary communications support for the 7th Fleet. The Sangley Point Naval Station is the only facility in the Western Pacific which can provide the necessary intermediate maintenance support for the 7th Fleet. The Mactan Island Air Station is the only facility in the Western Pacific which can provide the necessary logistic support for the US Navy's Western Pacific forces. Declassified/Released on by N. Menan, National Security Council * 4 Relocation Impacts — The loss of the present base structure would have a serious impact on the US ability to respond to incidents and crises throughout the Southwest Pacific and approaches to the Indian Ocean. The loss of Clark Air Base would mean that the US would have to depend on bases in Japan and Guam for air support. This would result in increased response time and reduced flexibility. The loss of Subic Bay and the other facilities would mean that the US would have to depend on bases in Guam and other countries in the region for logistic support. This would also result in increased response time and reduced flexibility. The loss of the present base structure would also have a serious impact on the logistic support of US forces in the Indian Ocean. The US Navy's Western Pacific forces are the only US forces available to respond to incidents in the Indian Ocean. The loss of the present base structure would mean that the US would have to depend on bases in other countries in the region for logistic support. This would result in increased response time and reduced flexibility. Cost Analysis — The cost of maintaining the US bases in the Philippines is approximately $200 million per year. This includes the cost of maintaining the bases, the cost of operating the bases, and the cost of paying rent to the Philippine Government. The cost of relocating the US bases in the Philippines to other countries in the region would be approximately $700 million. This would include the cost of building new facilities, the cost of relocating personnel and equipment, and the cost of paying rent to the host country. The cost of maintaining the US bases in the Philippines is therefore considerably less than the cost of relocating the bases to other countries in the region. Declassified/Released on by N.

So by providing external oestrogen and progesteron again periods can be induced. Which are given to you .But good and healthy eggs can't be produced. So its good you are going for donor egg.The chances to conceive are less because after menopause uterus become small and lining become thin, which is not good for implantation.

The medicine can help symptomatic relief but the physiological is totally different to understand of fibromyalgia.Also, with physical therapy you will get benefitted and the inflammation of the muscle fiber will be reduced. The therapist will use therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy for reducing inflammation and pain. Later, exercises will be taught to imporve the strength and endurance. Also, Breathing exercises and meditation helps further to improve the oxygen carrying blood cells which acts as the fuel to the muscle fiber which reduces the pain and also meditation will help imporve to control the mind.in my clinical practice I have been dealing with fibromyalgia cases. they respond well with a combination of medicine and physical therapy.regardsJay Indravadan Patel",Confidential "I was diagnosed with a very large pneumonia about a month ago in my left upper lobe, I have been on 3 different kinds of antibiotics.

Thanks Dear, We understand your concernsI went through your details. The whitish layer in your gland is smegma. Smegma is mixture of semen, urine and dust particles. This gets accumulated because of lack of cleanliness. You should clean your gland twice daily.Nocturnal emission is a natural and normal process. Nothing to worry about it. Semen is produced whenever you are sexually excited. Produced semen is then stored within your body. It is a waste product now. Body needs to throw the waste out. If you do not masturbate or engage in sex, body removes the waste through nocturnal emission. I suggest you to masturbate alternate days to stop your nocturnal emission.If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. Make sure that you include every minute detail possible.

These were prescribed after ECG and blood work. Even, after taking the medication, my BP is usually 160/85 mmHg. What to do further. Please advise. Hello. I want to highlight a few important points here: Amlodipine should be used once daily. Instead of taking 5 mg twice daily you should take 10 mg once daily, which is the maximum dose. Clonidine on the other side can actually cause rebound hypertension, which can explain your high blood pressure. It should be the last resort of the treatment of hypertension. It would be nice to know the dose that you are taking these days. I would like to know when did you take your blood pressure and if you follow a low salt diet. Benicar - Olmesartan is a good medication. Please consult your specialist doctor and discuss my opinion.

Approximately 10 of the NFL games were won by the underdogs this week. Many people missed the Pittsburgh/Tampa Bay game, also the Carolina/Washington game, Baltimore/Cleveland, New England/Indy game; Atlanta/New Orleans, Denver/San Diego and Green Bay/Minnesota game. Back on Thursday, Buffalo was only picked by one person over Jacksonville. In the college games, just about everyone missed the North Carolina/Clemson game, while the Wisconsin/Illinois and USC/Notre Dame games were missed by about half the people. Through all that, Larry Campbell is the current leader with only 7 wrong, while George Phillips is the only other person still in contention with 8 wrong. Larry picked the Giants tonight with 39 total pts, while George picked the Eagles with 32 total points. Therefore, if the Giants win, Larry will win outright, if the Eagles win and there is 36 or more total pts, then Larry will also win. George will win with a Philly victory and 35 or fewer total points scored. There were 31 entries this week, therefore the prize is $62. There is another Thursday night NFL game this week, therefore we will make this week's picks due Thursday afternoon. I did have a few requests for making each entry $3 this week, to increase the money you could win. Therefore, please email me back if you would like to see the entry fee at $3 instead of $2. If we get more than 20 people who would not mind a $1 increase in the entry fee for a bigger prize, then we will go with it. I do not want to go more than $3 for now. Therefore, if we can keep the 30-35 people each week, the prize will be closer to $100, instead of $60-70 dollars. This is not my idea to have some people give up more money, but just a suggestion I got from a few people. Below are the number of games missed by each person this week.

Wipe tests taken of the interrior portions of the separator prior to cleaning revealed PCB results of: 360, 500 and 520 microgram. This was not a standard wipe taken of a specific area. These wipes were taken over large areas to determine presence/absence of PCB's within the separator. After the cleaning operation was completed, three wipe samples were taken of the interrior portions of the separator. All results showed non detect at less than 1.0 microgram.

There is no precedent or guidance on this question in Philippine law. The US Government and American investors will have to make a major effort to clarify this issue. tion by international financial institutions, are potential levers which could be used by the US to encourage the Philippines to provide relief to US investors. C. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS There are a number of solutions which could cure or ameliorate the more drastic effects of the decision. Clarification by the Philippine courts could affirm the rights of the US investors to pass clear title, at least until July 3, 1974, and could protect them from proceedings for reversion to former owners. Protection as to access to, and continued normal use of, improvements might also come through the Courts. It is not clear to what extent the Philippine Congress could provide such benefits but the Court in its decision, at least implied that some relief could be granted by the legislative body. For example, one possibility might be escheat to the State after which continued access for normal operations might be granted as a long-term lease. The Court might also extend the time period for a disinvestment of parity rights beyond 1974 through a Stay of Execution to provide for an orderly transfer of assets and the avoidance of a fire sale atmosphere. Finally, the Constitutional Convention, now in progress, could provide relief through a provision in a referendum. Such a provision could conceivably totally reverse the effect of the Quasha decision. More likely, the best attainable solution would be a provision in the case of ""private agricultural land"" and ""parity rights"" which would allow for some additional period of time after 1974 for an orderly disposition of such holdings. D. FACTORS WHICH WILL AFFECT THE ACTIONS OF THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT The extent to which remedies may be forthcoming in one or more of these ways will be determined to a large extent by Marcos Administration strategy and policy objectives. The Philippines has long sought such talks, hoping to gain a continuation of bilateral trade preferences and a continued guaranteed floor under the Philippine sugar quota in return for benefits for US investors in the Philippines. Relief from the adverse impact of the Quasha decision would be an additional benefit for the US to seek and, as the Philippines would see it, an added inducement for us to enter the negotiations. This objective on the part of the Philippines is of course a reason for them to delay remedies unless and until the US moves toward negotiations on continued trade benefits for the Philippines. However, there are two major factors which tend to motivate the Philippines to provide remedial measures even if the US does not move very fast or very far toward the desired trade benefits: 1. In the first place, the Marcos Administration has recognized the importance of private foreign investment to Philippine economic development, would not wish to drive out any substantial amount of US investment, and moreover, wants to attract significant additional private investment from the United States and other countries, albeit not in the ""parity"" areas. 2. The Philippine Government and business community are well aware that penalties to their sugar quota and to US Government assistance programs, as well as the loss of US support for loans under consideration by international financial institutions, are potential levers which could be used by the US to encourage the Philippines to provide relief to US investors. In multi-national development banks, might be triggered. If the Quasha decision were to lead ultimately to expropriation of US business interests, without prompt, adequate and effective compensation. It may also be appropriate to note that, should it develop that the Quasha decision problems could only be resolved by remedial provisions in a new Philippine Constitution, &: Constitutional Convention by gaining approval on second reading of a parliamentary form of government. If endorsed in the necessary referendum, Marcos, who is ineligible to succeed himself to another (third) term under the existing Constitution, could become Prime Minister. Assuming he could control the new parliament, he could continue as Prime Minister indefinitely. If it were apparent that the US also had a stake in the new constitution, that might help to swing some Filipino votes towards approval. E. NO CHANGE IN US POLICY OPTIONS The situation resulting from the Philippine Supreme Court's adverse decision in the Quasha case does not seem to require any changes at this time in the Policy Options given in NSSM 155. However, we do believe that it would justify the addition of another PRO for exceptions designed to provide trade and sugar quota benefits for the Philippines. The additional PRO would be: This might be added to the list of PROS under the following conditions: MRA, REA, enemies, cine, treat, transnational, and can be added.",Confidential "EXCELLENT NEWS! In the spirit of the holiday season, SDG&E has come over from the dark side and now supports the assignability of direct access contracts! The utility also supports the ability of existing direct access customers to indefinitely remain on direct access after their contracts expire with one ESP, permitting them either to renew with their existing supplier or sign a new contract with another ESP. In the attached filing, the utility argues that this is reasonable and fair to direct access customers, particularly in view of the Enron bankruptcy.

(C) THE CPP HAS DEVELOPED AN EFFECTIVE ORGANI - ZATIONAL, FINANCIAL AND MILITARY NETWORK THROUGHOUT THE PHILIPPINES IN ITS 15 YEARS OF EXISTENCE. IT HAS MADE MISTAKES AND SUFFERED LOSSES. BUT IS STRONGER NOW THAN EVER BEFORE. THE CPP IS ACUTELY AWARE OF THE INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENT, AND ITS OPERATIONS COVER THE U.S. AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES. IT IS AN OPEN QUESTION WHETHER THE PARTY MIGHT, IN ITS SEARCH FOR ARMS, SOMEDAY ABANDON ITS HARD LINE AGAINST SOVIET REVISIONISTS. 9. (C) GIVEN U.S. STRATEGIC AND OTHER INTERESTS, THE TREND IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN, ESPECIALLY SO GIVEN THE SERIOUS ECONOMIC DIFFICULTIES OF THE PHILIPPINES. DOGGED BY WEAK, OFTEN CORRUPT LOCAL ADMINISTRATION, BAD ECONOMICS, CRONYISM, LOSS OF CREDIBILITY, A BURGEONING POPULATION, AND MILITARY ABUSES, THE MARCOS GOVERNMENT SEEMS INCAPABLE OF ADDRESSING THE ROOT SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CAUSES OF THE INSURGENCY. 10. (C) THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF THE PHILIPPINES (CPP) WAS FORMED IN 1968 AS A BREAKAWAY GROUP FROM THE PKP. THE CPP’S FOUNDER, JOSE MARIA SISON, CLAIMS THAT THE PKP HAD BEEN INFILTRATED BY GOVERNMENT AGENTS AND THAT THE PKP’S LEADERSHIP WAS CORRUPT. SISON ALSO CLAIMS THAT THE PKP HAD BEEN CO-OPTED BY THE UNITED STATES THROUGH THE CIA. SISON, AN INTELLIGENT AND ARTICULATE PERSONALITY, WAS A FORMER STUDENT ACTIVIST AND POET. HE HAD BEEN A MEMBER OF THE PKP AND HAD WORKED IN PAGE NO. SECRET SECRET PAGE 03 MANILA 15403 03 OF 26 0906372 CHINA, WHERE HE CLAIMS TO HAVE RECEIVED INSTRUCTION FROM CHINESE COMMUNIST LEADERSHIP. SISON WAS ARRESTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BY THE MARCOS GOVERNMENT AND SPENT TIME IN DETENTION. HE CLAIMS THAT HE WAS TORTURED DURING THIS PERIOD. SISON’S ARRESTS AND RELEASES GAVE HIM A CERTAIN NOTORIETY AND, IN RETROSPECT, CONTRIBUTED TO HIS REPUTATION AS A REVOLUTIONARY. 11. (C) THE CPP IS A PARTY OF THE NEW LEFT. IT REJECTS THE SOVIET UNION AND CHINA AS MODELS FOR REVOLUTION. IT ALSO REJECTS THE PKP AS A PARTY OF THE OLD LEFT. THE CPP CLAIMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED A NEW THEORY OF REVOLUTION WHICH IS APPLICABLE TO THE PHILIPPINES AND OTHER THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES. THIS THEORY IS BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF A PROTRACTED PEOPLE’S WAR. THE CPP BELIEVES THAT IT CAN GAIN CONTROL OF THE COUNTRY THROUGH A SERIES OF PHASES. THE FIRST PHASE IS TO BUILD A SMALL BUT WELL-TRAINED AND DISCIPLINED PARTY. THE SECOND PHASE IS TO BUILD A PEOPLE’S ARMY. THE THIRD PHASE IS TO ESTABLISH LIBERATED AREAS, WHERE THE CPP CAN ESTABLISH A REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT. THE FINAL PHASE IS TO OVERCOME THE GOVERNMENT’S MILITARY FORCES AND ESTABLISH A NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. THE CPP IS NOW IN THE SECOND PHASE OF ITS REVOLUTION. 12. (C) THE CPP HAS DEVELOPED A STRONG NETWORK OF FRONT ORGANIZATIONS. THE CPP’S FRONT ORGANIZATIONS ARE GENERALLY WELL-ORGANIZED AND ARE LED BY WELL- TRAINED CADRE. THE CPP HAS ALSO DEVELOPED A STRONG FINANCIAL NETWORK. THE CPP COLLECTS FUNDS FROM MANY SOURCES. THE CPP COLLECTS FUNDS FROM ITS FRONT ORGANIZATIONS, FROM ITS MEMBERS, FROM SYMPATHIZERS, AND PAGE NO.

THE CPP COLLECTS FUNDS FROM DRUG TRAFFICKING THROUGH ITS CONTROL OF THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF MARIJUANA AND OTHER DRUGS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF LUZON AND THE VISAYAS. 13. (C) THE CPP HAS ALSO DEVELOPED A STRONG MILITARY NETWORK. THE CPP’S MILITARY ARM IS THE NEW PEOPLE’S ARMY (NPA). THE NPA IS ESTIMATED TO HAVE BETWEEN 12,000 AND 15,000 MEMBERS. THE NPA HAS A NUMBER OF FRONT ORGANIZATIONS WHICH ARE USED TO RECRUIT AND TRAIN NEW MEMBERS. THE NPA ALSO RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM FRONT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE FORM OF FOOD, SHELTER, AND OTHER SUPPLIES.

THIS FOLLOWED A POLITBURO POWER STRUGGLE WON BY THE BROTHERS JOSE AND JESUS LAVA. (AMONG THE EXPELLED LOSERS WAS FELIXBERTO OLALIA, THE LABOR LEADER WHOSE 1982 ARREST SPARKED INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INTEREST. OLALIA DIED IN 1983, AFTER HIS RELEASE.) BY 1950, WITH THE PHILIPPINES FACING A MONETARY CRISIS AND IN THE WAKE OF TURBULENT 1949 ELECTIONS, PKP GENERAL SECRETARY JOSE LAVA DECLARED THAT A ""REVOLUTIONARY SITUATION"" EXISTED, AND THE PEOPLE'S LIBERATION ARMY (KNOWN AS THE HMB, FROM ITS TAGALOG INITIALS) WENT ON THE OFFENSIVE. 43. (U) THE HUKS STAGED SPECTACULAR RAIDS IN THE PROVINCES NORTH AND SOUTH OF MANILA, AND THESE ARE STILL REMEMBERED BY OLDER CAPITAL RESIDENTS. HOWEVER, THESE ACCOMPLISHED LITTLE IN POLITICAL TERMS. HUK ATTEMPTS TO EXPAND TO OTHER PARTS OF THE PHILIPPINES FAILED TO CATCH ON. THE GOP COUNTERATTACK, LED BY DEFENSE MINISTER RAMON MAGSAYSAY, GAINED QUICK RESULTS, INCLUDING THE CAPTURE OF JOSE LAVA AND MUCH OF THE POLITBURO IN MANILA IN OCTOBER 1950. REINVIGORATION AND DISCIPLINING OF THE MILITARY, REFORMS AIMED AT RESTORING THE FAITH OF CENTRAL LUZON FARMERS IN THE GOP, AND AMERICAN ASSISTANCE ALL PLAYED A PART. 44. (U) THE PKP'S PART IN THE ""HUK REBELLION"" THAT FOLLOWED WORLD WAR II WAS AT FIRST AMBIGUOUS. THE PARTY INITIALLY SOUGHT TO ADVANCE ITS FORTUNES THROUGH ""LEGAL STRUGGLE"" IN THE FORM OF THE DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE (DA), A FRONT ORGANIZATION INCLUDING COMMUNIST LEADERS AS WELL AS NON-COMMUNISTS LIKE J.B.L. REYES, NOW A RETIRED SUPREME COURT JUSTICE AND ELDER OF THE MODERATE OPPOSITION. GOP REFUSAL TO SEAT SIX DA MEMBERS ELECTED TO CONGRESS IN 1946, AND THE MURDER OF A DA LEADER WERE AMONG THE FACTORS LEADING TO A RESUMPTION OF HOSTILITIES IN CENTRAL LUZON, THIS TIME BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE HUKS. 45. (U) FROM A GOP-ESTIMATED STRENGTH OF 12,800 REGULARS IN 1950, THE HUKS WERE REDUCED TO 4,000 MEN IN 1952, AND AN ESTIMATED 660 BY 1956.

THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE CPP HAS ALWAYS CLAIMED THAT ITS ""TARGET"" IS THE URBAN WORKER AND STUDENT.

THE CPP LEADERSHIP IS THEREFORE IN THE POSITION OF HAVING TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR A CONSTITUENCY THAT IS LARGELY ILLITERATE AND UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE FULL IMPLICATIONS OF THE CPP’S PROGRAMS AND POLICIES. IT IS THEREFORE NOT SURPRISING THAT THE CPP IS OFTEN FORCED TO RELY ON COERCIVE MEASURES TO KEEP ITS RANK AND FILE IN LINE. 67. (C) THE CPP LEADERSHIP 1S ALSO DISTINGUISHED BY ITS RELATIVE AFFLUENCE. ALTHOUGH CPP LEADERS ARE NOT ABOVE BENDING THE RULES FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT, THEY ARE BY AND LARGE NOT CORRUPT. CPP OFFICIALS ARE PAID A REGULAR STIPEND SECRET SECRET PAGE O3 MANILA 15403 15 OF 26 0906402 OF PESOS 200 (ABOUT $16) PER MONTH. IN ADDITION, THEY ARE ALLOWED TO KEEP A PORTION OF THE FUNDS THEY COLLECT FROM PEASANTS AND OTHERS. THEY ALSO RECEIVE FREE ROOM AND BOARD AND HAVE ACCESS TO A WIDE RANGE OF OTHER PARTY-FINANCED SERVICES, SUCH AS MEDICAL CARE. THE CPP LEADERSHIP 15 THEREFORE ABLE TO LIVE A LIFESTYLE THAT IS WELL ABOVE THAT OF THE AVERAGE FILIPINO. THIS HAS LED TO CRITICISM FROM WITHIN THE RANKS OF THE PARTY THAT THE CPP LEADERSHIP IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE REALITIES OF THE PHILIPPINES. 68. (C) THE CPP’S TOP LEADERSHIP HAS DEVELOPED A HIGHLY CENTRALIZED DECISION-MAKING PROCESS. THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE IS THE PARTY’S HIGHEST DECISION-MAKING BODY.

THE CPP’S CENTRAL COMMITTEE AND POLITICAL BUREAU ARE ASSISTED BY A NUMBER OF SUBORDINATE COMMITTEES, INCLUDING THE MILITARY COMMITTEE, WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NPA, AND THE TRADE UNION COMMITTEE, WHICH HANDLES LABOR ISSUES. THE CPP’S OVERALL DECISION-MAKING PROCESS IS HIGHLY SECRETIVE, WITH THE PARTY’S LEADERSHIP MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO KEEP ITS DELIBERATIONS AND ACTIONS OUT OF THE PUBLIC EYE. 69. (C) THE CPP HAS ALSO DEVELOPED A FAIRLY SOPHISTICATED SYSTEM FOR THE RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING OF NEW CADRES. THE CPP’S RECRUITMENT EFFORTS ARE AIMED PRIMARILY AT UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, BUT ALSO INCLUDE WORKERS, PEASANTS, AND OTHERS.

COMMENT: THE NPA IS INCREASINGLY INVOLVED IN CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES, BUT THE PARTY'S PROGRAM GOES BEYOND SIMPLE BANDITRY. THE NPA'S ""TAXATION"" OF BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY IS AN ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH CONTROL OVER THE ECONOMY, NOT JUST TO GAIN FINANCIAL BENEFITS FOR ITS MEMBERS. THE PARTY'S GOAL IS TO CONTROL THE ECONOMY, NOT TO DESTROY IT. - F) ""THE COMMUNISTS ARE JUST A BUNCH OF CRAZIES; NO ONE TAKES THEM SERIOUSLY.""

THE PARTY'S LEADERSHIP IS COMPOSED OF HARD-HEADED AND SHREWD REVOLUTIONARIES WHO ARE DEDICATED TO THE OVERTHROW OF THE GOVERNMENT. 81. (C) IN ADDITION TO THESE MISCONCEPTIONS, THERE ARE SEVERAL MORE SUBSTANTIVE POINTS WHICH ARE OFTEN RAISED BY FILIPINOS WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE COMMUNIST MOVEMENT: - A) ""THE COMMUNISTS ARE ONLY ACTIVE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE; THEY HAVE NO SUPPORT IN THE CITIES."" COMMENT: THE COMMUNIST PARTY IS MAKING A CONCERTED EFFORT TO ESTABLISH A PRESENCE IN THE CITIES. IT HAS HAD SOME SUCCESS IN INFILTRATING STUDENT GROUPS, TRADE UNIONS, AND PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS. THE PARTY HAS ALSO BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH FRONT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE CITIES WHICH SERVE AS A MEANS FOR MOBILIZING SUPPORT FOR THE PARTY'S PROGRAM AND FOR ITS MILITARY WING, THE NPA. - B) ""THE COMMUNISTS ARE ONLY ACTIVE IN THE POOR RURAL AREAS; THEY HAVE NO SUPPORT AMONG THE MIDDLE CLASS.""

THE PARTY HAS BEEN ABLE TO ATTRACT SOME MEMBERS FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS, INCLUDING PROFESSIONALS, STUDENTS, AND BUSINESSMEN. THE PARTY'S FRONT ORGANIZATIONS ARE ALSO ACTIVE IN MOBILIZING SUPPORT FROM THE MIDDLE CLASS FOR THE PARTY'S PROGRAM. - C) ""THE COMMUNISTS ARE ONLY ACTIVE IN THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY; THEY HAVE NO SUPPORT IN THE NORTH."" COMMENT: THE COMMUNIST PARTY IS MOST ACTIVE IN THE POORER AND MORE REMOTE AREAS OF THE COUNTRY, BUT IT HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT INROADS IN THE CENTRAL LUZON REGION, PARTICULARLY IN BULACAN AND PAMPANGA PROVINCES.

COMMENT: THE COMMUNIST PARTY IS MOST ACTIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND REMOTE AREAS OF THE COUNTRY, BUT IT HAS ALSO MADE SIGNIFICANT GAINS IN THE LOWLANDS AND IN URBAN AREAS.

COMMENT: THE COMMUNIST PARTY HAS BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH A PRESENCE IN AREAS WHICH ARE UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL. THE PARTY HAS BEEN ABLE TO INFILTRATE ORGANIZATIONS IN AREAS WHICH ARE NOT CONTROLLED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND TO ESTABLISH FRONT ORGANIZATIONS WHICH ARE ACTIVE IN AREAS CONTROLLED BY THE GOVERNMENT. THE NPA IS ALSO ACTIVE IN AREAS WHICH ARE UNDER GOVERNMENT CONTROL AND IS ABLE TO CARRY OUT TERRORIST ACTIVITIES IN THESE AREAS. 82. (C) IN ADDITION TO THESE MISCONCEPTIONS AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS, THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER FACTORS WHICH HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE GOVERNMENT'S INABILITY TO DEAL EFFECTIVELY WITH THE COMMUNIST MOVEMENT: - A) THE COMMUNIST MOVEMENT HAS BEEN ABLE TO EXPLOIT THE POVERTY AND SOCIAL INJUSTICES WHICH ARE PREVALENT IN THE PHILIPPINES. THESE CONDITIONS HAVE MADE IT EASIER FOR THE PARTY TO RECRUIT MEMBERS AND TO MOBILIZE SUPPORT FOR ITS PROGRAM NSAE-00 COME-00 HA-08 L-O3 LAB-04 PM-10 AIT-02 PA-01 GMB-01 STR-14 SIL-01 USIE-00 SP-02 SNP-01 PRS-01 /OG88 W RUEHC/SECSTATE WASHDC PRIORITY 2478 INFO CINCPAC HONOLULU HI AMEMBASSY BEIJING AMEMBASSY SEOUL AMEMBASSY TOKYO AIT TAIPEI AMEMBASSY BANGKOK AMEMBASSY BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN AMEMBASSY KUALA LUMPUR AMEMBASSY SINGAPORE AMCONSUL HONG KONG COMUSNAVPHIL SUBIC BAY RP 13THAF CLARK AB RP DIA WASHINGTON DC SECRET PAGE 02 MANILA 15403 19 OF 26 0906412 CINCPAC ALSO FOR POLAD -- €.0. 12356: DECL: OADR TAGS: PGOV, PINS, SHUM, RP, KPRP SUBJECT: COMMUNIST MOVEMENTS IN THE PHILIPPINES: COMMENT: THE NPA HAS BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH A STRONG PRESENCE IN REGION 1, WHICH INCLUDES THE PROVINCES OF ILOCOS NORTE, ILOCOS SUR, LA UNION, AND PANGASINAN.

THREE OR FOUR BATTALIONS OF ARMY TROOPS AND SEVERAL CONSTABULARY COMPANIES HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED. A LOCAL POLITICIAN TOLD US THAT THE GOVERNMENT WAS UNABLE TO MAKE HEADWAY AGAINST THE CPP/NPA VILLAGE INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH WAS EXPANDING. IN RECENT MONTHS, THE NPA HAS RAIDED TOWNS AND EVEN THE CAMPUS OF ENRILE’S PRIDE, CAGAYAN STATE UNIVERSITY IN HIS HOMETOWN OF GONZAGA. ON MAY 30, THE NPA BURNED THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE CAGAYAN INTEGRATED AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IN IGUIG, WITH WHICH ENRILE IS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED. LARGE NATURAL RESOURCES FIRMS, SOME OWNED BY SENIOR GOP OFFICIALS, ARE MAJOR, IF UN- WILLING, CONTRIBUTORS TO CPP COFFERS. 91.

THE NPA’S PRESENCE IN NORTHERN LUZON IS FOCUSED ON ESTABLISHING A STRONG INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE REMOTE MOUNTAINOUS AREAS AND PENETRATING THE MORE URBANIZED AREAS TO ESTABLISH FRONT ORGANIZATIONS. THE NPA IS ABLE TO EXPAND ITS ACTIVITIES IN NORTHERN LUZON BECAUSE OF THE POPULAR SUPPORT IT ENJOYS AMONG THE LOCAL POPULATION, WHICH IS DISILLUSIONED WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND FEELS NEGLECTED AND EXPLOITED. THE NPA HAS ALSO BEEN ABLE TO EXPAND ITS ACTIVITIES IN NORTHERN LUZON BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE AND IMPROVE THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE LOCAL POPULATION.

IT INDICATED THAT 43 PERCENT OF FILIPINOS WERE UNDER 15, WITH ANOTHER 28 PERCENT IN THE 15-29 AGE GROUP. ECONOMIC HARD TIMES AND A BURGEONING POPULATION PLAY INTO THE HANDS OF THE CPP/NPA. MOST NPA SOLDIERS ARE IN THEIR TEENS OR TWENTIES. MID-LEVEL CPP OFFICIALS ARE GENERALLY IN THEIR LATE TWENTIES OR THIRTIES, AND SENIOR LEADERS ARE IN THEIR THIRTIES OR FORTIES. BY CONTRAST, LEADERSHIP OF THE GOP AND THE MODERATE OPPOSITION IS MAINLY IN THE HANDS OF PEOPLE 60 OR OVER (FIVE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION). - E. MILITARY ABUSES - ABUSES BY AFP SOLDIERS HAVE ATTRACTED ATTENTION AND ARE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT THE PRIMARY CAUSE FOR THE SPREAD OF THE INSURGENCY. TROOPS ARE NOT NORMALLY CALLED IN UNTIL THE LOCAL CIVILIAN ADMINISTRATION IS ALREADY THREATENED. WHEN THE TROOPS DO ARRIVE, THE IMPACT VARIES WITH THE QUALITY OF THEIR LEADERSHIP.

IF THE COMMANDER IS POOR, IN THE PHILIPPINE RURAL CONTEXT ABUSES OFTEN FOLLOW AND ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF POPULAR SYMPATHY FOR THE NPA. OUTLOOK 124. (CC) - THE CPP FOR NOW LACKS THE CAPACITY TO TOPPLE THE GOVERNMENT, BUT IT IS PURSUING A LONG-TERM STRATEGY THAT HAS WORKED WELL SO FAR. AS THE TEMPO OF COMMUNIST ACTIVITIES HAS PICKED UP IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FASHION POLICIES TO MEET THE CHALLENGE. THERE IS LITTLE OPTIMISM THAT THE MARCOS GOVERNMENT IS CAPABLE OF TURNING THE SITUATION AROUND. WITHOUT NEW DIRECTIONS FROM THE TOP, THE PROSPECTS ARE FOR CONTINUED DETERIORATION WITH THE EVENTUAL OUTCOME - ULTIMATE DEFEAT AND A COMMUNIST TAKEOVER OF THE PHILIPPINES - A VERY POSSIBLE SCENARIO. IS MOVING IN A RATCHET-LIKE MANNER TO EXPAND ITS INFLUENCE. THE GOP STILL HAS ROOM TO TAKE EFFECTIVE ACTION AND REVERSE THE DIRECTION OF THE RATCHET, BUT THE LONGER IT TAKES TO GET UNDER WAY, THE HARDER THIS WILL L BE. MEANWHILE, TIME IS BEING LOST AND SCARCE RESOURCES ARE BEING WASTED. FAKE SURRENDER CEREMONIES, STYLIZED ""DIALOGUES"" OF GOP OFFICIALS WITH CITIZENS, AND ONE-SHOT CIVIC ACTION PROGRAMS GET SPACE IN GOVERNMENT-INFLUENCED NEWSPAPERS BUT DO LITTLE TO IMPROVE THE GOVERNMENT'S POSITION IN THE COUNTRYSIDE WHERE IT COUNTS. 123.

There were some tests that were being conducted with some material that was sent from Afghanistan - cutting, and so forth - to see whether gas, nerve gas or any other kind of lethal gas or debilitating gas was being used in Afghanistan. Are those tests completed, and what are the results if they are completed? A. I will have to refer you to the Justice Department and the FBI, as they have been speaking about this matter. I don't have any information that is different from theirs. Q. Have the Saudis consulted with this government about their willingness to establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, if the Russians pull out of Afghanistan? A. I don't know that they have. Q. Do you have anything further on the Tabatabai murder? A. I don't have any evidence that there is any foreign involvement of the Algerians. We have been in touch with the Justice Department and the FBI about this matter. Q. You said yesterday that we were discussing this situation with the Algerian embassy. Do you have anything that you can tell us about the results of those discussions? Q. NBC carried reports this morning on something that I have seen springing up here. Do you have any response to that, that law enforcement officials who, at this point, feel that they have enough evidence to go after Mr. Nahidian, have been restrained? Steve, the NSC report said it was by the Justice Department and the State Department. A. Certainly not by the State Department. I continue to feel that you should ask that question of the Justice Department. Q. Has there not been some kind of a ban on Iranians coming into the United States on visas since fairly early this year? Official Iranians? A. That is one of those questions that taxes my memory, and I don't have a precise memory on that since I wasn't here. Rather than give you an answer that could be inaccurate in some respects, I would rather take it and produce it for you. Q. I would like to add some parentheses to that question. In the last several weeks, there have been a number of visas granted to people who are coming to the United States to testify on behalf of the Iranian government. Do you know anything about that? A.

CARSON",Public "Australian Tax Liability Rick - As we discussed, I have an outstanding tax liability with the Australian government, and I need your help in this matter. Working for Enron Ex-Pat Services, I incurred additional tax liabilities which Enron was to pay on my behalf. In simple terms, Enron agreed to make up the difference between my U.S. income tax liability and that charged by Australia. My full U.S. tax liability was withheld from my paychecks and Enron was to make up the difference between this and the 48% charged by the Australian government. As of today, the incremental tax liability has not been addressed by Enron, and I need to resolve this issue immediately. It appears that the easiest solution is for Enron Corp. to wire Enron Australia the estimated tax liability, with Enron Australia passing the money to the Australian tax authority. I will have the final estimate from PWC first thing Monday morning, but it has been indicated that the liability in total will be less than $50,000 U.S.. I appreciate any help you can provide in getting this matter resolved. I will provide you the specific estimates Monday morning, and in the interim, if there is anything else you need from me, I am at your disposal.

I did have urinary tract infection about 6 or 8 weeks ago however. My doctor says the results of the blood work says the infection is gone. What should I think at this point? Hi. It looks the residual infection in the urinary bladder and the related structures or its aftereffects are still lingering on. Also have a review ultrasound and urine tests.. Take a long course of an antibiotic like Doxy if it suits you.

He hasnt been sleeping well for about a week now, but we are in the middle of moving and thought it related to that. His anus has been quite red for awhile, but no worms or itching that we can tell.

How long should my husband and I wait to safely continue to try to get pregnant? How long until it is out of our system? How long does cocaine stay in sperm? Thanks in advance. Hello, Wellcome to iclinq.com. There are few researches/studies on cocaine use by males and its effect on pregnancy. Few suggest that cocaine by itself has limited effects as most of the time it is taken along with other drugs or as a cocktail of alcohol and cigarette (tobacco). So, most of the people take not just cocaine but a combination of drugs. Cocaine narrows blood vessels (vasoconstriction). It can lead to erectile dysfunction. Few studies suggest that it has receptors on testicles and sperm. So, it can degenerate testicular tissues/or sperm quality, transfer from sperm to female egg and can lead to early miscarriage. Cocaine is a very fast acting drug which affects the nervous system and produces short-lived euphoric attitude for 15 minutes to an hour, but causes long-term damage to the body and brain like anxiety, depression, aggression, impairment of logic and critical thinking, heart problem, hypertension and decrease in bone density. Its half-life is an hour. So, it takes about an hour for half of the cocaine consumed to leave the body. But, with long-term use, the drug starts to accumulate in the blood and body tissues allowing certain tests to detect it in the system for an extended period of time. After a single use of cocaine, agents created by its metabolism can be detected in the urine for two to four days, and in chronic users, cocaine can be detected up to 12 days and highly concentrated cocaine can be detected in the urine up to three weeks. It can be detected in the saliva and blood for an average 12-48 hours. In hairs and sweat for an extended period of time, it can be detected. So, after all the above description, I do not know how your husband had cocaine, as a cocktail along with other drugs, or just cocaine? Secondly, how long he has been taking it? For you, have you been on alcohol, cocaine or smoking? If you had taken in the past, better to quit completely. My advice is, try to avoid drugs like cocaine, alcohol, ketamine, and MDMA completely for a couple of months before trying for pregnancy. Because, if the mother has an addiction, it has psychosocial effects on the fetus in addition to the drugs' side effects itself. Best of luck.

I also have this feeling that is in the center of my chest that feels like pressure into the back until I feel like I cant breathe. When this happens I feel uncomfortable sitting.

Im 5 8 and now up to about 200 lbs. While I know I need to lose weight but would this all be from just being fat? and how do people stand it. I am at my wits end HiThanks for your query.Based on your query, my opinion is1. The lumps on your abdomen in epigastric region are probably just subcutaneous fatty tissue being prominent or lipoma. 2. Your weight is on the higher side, which is causing this.3. Chest and abdominal discomfort is due to gastritis or GERD ( gastro esophageal reflux disorder) as the gastro esophageal reflux will be more in obese individuals causing chest pain/ discomfort.4. Do not lie down immediately after having food.Try to reduce weight as obesity is the cause of most of your problems and in the long term it can lead to hypertension/ diabetes/ cardiovascular diseases.5.

If questions are pressed at the December 5 noon briefing and additional comments cannot be avoided, the suggested guidance in STATE 202020 seems to remain within the limits set, on one hand, by the desirability of avoiding unhelpful speculation and showing the Administration's positive approach to the matter of talks, and on the other hand, by the desirability of attempting to avoid stimulation of further negative response from the Chicom. It is especially important to avoid being drawn into an explicit description of the subject matter of my remarks.

You need to undergo MRI of the spine to see for the cause of sciatic pain.It may also give a clue if there is relapse of lymphoma to spine and bone scan also may show the uptake.

I would advise you to consult a general surgeon along with your reports, as it is not possible to opine on it simply on the MRI report without a clinical examination. If the MRI is inconclusive, there may be a need for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) for a histological diagnosis. The surgeon has to decide on this investigation.

Cause for the lump in your neck-In my opinion your description needs more clarification-as to -whether the lump is on the front side of the neck or sides of the neck.This is because your lump is not there as per your doctors.In my opinion-your lump-appears to be -a Engorged veins -as it comes after drinking lot of water?Check with your BP with your family doctor.For Final Diagnosis and treatment needs clinical data from a Doctor.Its not thyroid as you think -otherwise Your doctors would have asked you to do USG and other tests to rule it out.and Hence for further treatment I would advise you to Consult ER Surgeon , who would treat it accordingly.This advise is based on the facts from the history you give and needs further clinical check.Hence I would advise you to check with ER Surgeon.So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you.Hope this would relieve your problem.Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.Have a Good Day.Dr.Savaskar M.N.",Confidential "honduras I asked PP if she was interested in going to Honduras between xmas and new years this year.

The US security treaty with the ROC is a continuing commitment to maintain the capacity to resist the use of force against Taiwan. It is also a commitment to consult with the ROC on the nature of the threat and the means to resist it. The treaty does not specify the amount or type of equipment to be provided. The ROC has traditionally looked to the US for the most advanced weapons. The US has, in turn, looked to the ROC to help pay for their development and production. Until recently, the ROC has been able to afford a substantial military budget. In the future, however, the US will have to take into account the ROC's ability to pay when considering requests for advanced weapons. US policy has been to provide the ROC with the weapons it needs to defend itself. The US has not attempted to match PRC force levels, but rather to provide a deterrent capability. The PRC's military advances in recent years, however, have raised ques- tions as to whether the ROC can maintain a deterrent capability without access to more advanced weapons. The PRC's successful development of nuclear weapons and ICBM's further complicates the ROC's deterrent problem. The US has been careful not to provide weapons which the ROC might use to attack the mainland. This policy has been followed to avoid giving the PRC an excuse to attack the ROC and to minimize the danger of a US-PRC military confrontation. The US has also avoided providing weapons which might be interpreted by the PRC as a threat to its nuclear forces. US policy has also been to avoid providing the ROC with weapons which might be used in a civil war. This policy has been followed to avoid giving the PRC an excuse to intervene in a civil war and to minimize the danger of a US-PRC military confrontation. ‘S454 PARTIALLY DECLASSIFIED RELEAS ON 4/9/75 UNDER PROVISIONS OF E.O. 12958 BY R.

This confrontation will continue to tie up more than 40% of the PRC ground and air forces and the strongest of its three naval fleets - the North Sea Fleet - for an indefinite period. Nevertheless, the remaining available PRC forces would be sufficient to overcome ROC defenses; 2) The PRC Air Force could gain air supremacy over the Taiwan Strait in a period of perhaps two or three weeks although only by accepting extremely high losses to the more sophisticated but considerably smaller ROC Air Force. Such losses would gravely compromise Peking's air arm. This assessment assumes the completion of the ROC's co-production program of 100 F-5Es and the provision of adequate hardening and anti-aircraft artillery and missiles for key ROC air defense assets; 3) The PRC, utilizing only units of its East Sea Fleet, would establish naval supremacy in the Taiwan Strait. If control of the air had been gained, this could be accomplished in short order, perhaps in a matter of days. Once such supremacy is established, PRC naval forces could isolate the off-shore islands and effectively blockade Taiwan's ports. 4) Either prior to or concurrent with the establishment of air and naval superiority, the PRC could assemble, load, dispatch, and assault beaches on Taiwan with an amphibious force of some 30,000 infantry troops with equipment plus an additional 75,000 lightly equipped troops by using some 500 small landing craft. (These landing craft, which are largely 60-90-foot LCMs and which are normally devoted to non-military uses, are all that the PRC is known to have, and thus would have to be mobilized country-wide.) These forces could probably maintain a beachhead for several days - long enough to be reinforced in strength, if air and naval superiority had been established. In three to five years, the PRC's capability for a successful attack could be improved through acquisition of air-to-air missiles and additional more advanced aircraft. ROC Force Composition. The ROC's inability to withstand a determined PRC attack on its own has necessarily required military contingency plans under the Mutual Defense Treaty for active participation of US air and naval forces in Taiwan's defense in the event of such an attack. Such planning, however, assumes that the ROC would have to meet the first four to five days of a PRC attack with its own forces, giving us time to resort to diplomatic efforts to end the conflict and to assess the need and extent of US involvement in the defense of Taiwan. Given Taiwan's location, the nature of the PRC threat, and the role ROC forces would have to play in the island's initial defense, the optimum structure of the ROC military force would be: - an Air Force designed primarily for air-to-air capability against fighters, bombers and airlift forces, and for countering a PRC naval attack; - a navy capable of withstanding attacks by PRC submarine forces and missile-equipped surface craft and of countering PRC amphibious forces in coordination with the ROC Air Force; - a relatively small but mobile and well-equipped ROC Army, including surface-to-air missiles for air defense, backed by a trained reserve force. ROC Deficiencies Existing major ROC deficiencies in achieving such a military force are as follows: Air Defense - The replacement of older aircraft with 100 F-5E aircraft under the current co-production program will provide the ROCAF with a strong air combat capability for the next few years. Completion of this program, however, will still leave the Air Force with over 100 older aircraft. the early 1980s. In addition, the ROCAF will presumably continue to require at least some all-weather interceptors, a role now (BRE stan reserve EERE el ee ~ Before. FIVE ) 1 : filled by 36 F-104G's. These also will need to be replaced within the next five to ten years. Depending on PRC capabilities, the ROC may require a follow-up aircraft such as the YF-16 or 17 for the 1980's. ROCAF facilities on the ground remain vulnerable to PRC bombardment, and improvements are necessary. An aircraft shelter program, introduction of two battalions of the improved HAWK surface-to-air missile, one of which has already been approved by the USG, and acquisition of modern anti-aircraft artillery such as the Vulcan system would help correct these deficiencies. In addition, improved command and control equipment for the ROC air defense system, including improvements in the air operations center, are necessary. Defense Against Naval/Amphibious Attack -- The Navy is probably the weakest of the ROC services, and has the most immediate deficiencies. Not only is it greatly outnumbered by PRC naval forces, but its ships are inferior. Its most critical deficiency is the limited defense against the PRC's high speed patrol boats equipped with Styx anti-ship missiles. The Navy is also hampered by a limited anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capability. Finally, incompatible communications between the Navy and Air Force, and questionable Air Force capabilities against surface ships result in serious naval defense deficiencies. Improved electronic countermeasures (ECM) equipment on ROC ships would reduce their vulnerability to attack by the PRC's Styx missiles, but the most effective counter would be for the ROC to obtain its own anti-ship missiles such as Harpoon. These would best be mounted on high-speed patrol boats; construction of five such craft under a co-production arrangement has already been approved by the USG. The ROC's deficiencies in ASW are of less immediate importance. These could be remedied with improved aircraft (16 S-2E ASW aircraft were recently approved for sale to the ROC), improved sonar and improved torpedoes for the ROC's destroyers. Finally, a compatible communications system for ROC ships and aircraft and improved anti-ship munitions for the ROCAF, perhaps laser guided bombs, would add con- siderably to the ROCAF's ability to participate in defense against an amphibious attack.

They range from handling the issue in a manner designed to minimize arms supply as an obstacle to US-PRC normalization to one designed to maximize ROC confidence in the US security commitment. The options were developed on the assumption that over the next three to five years, the political and psycho- logical importance of US supply of weapons to the ROC will be greater than the objective military importance of the weapons themselves. Both the ROC and PRC will view our handling of this issue as an indicator of the relative importance the US attaches to each. Nevertheless, their reactions to what we do in this sphere may be asymmetric. As an example, the ROC would regard a significant restric- tion on its present access to weapons as a serious matter while the PRC response might not be equivalently favorable. It is also worth reiterating that ROC arms access cannot be considered in isolation from the other elements of Taiwan's security: the deterrent effect of US-PRC relationship, our defense commitment, and the remaining US force presence. Not only are these elements inextric- ably bound up, but their relative importance can -- and will -- shift markedly depending on events. Option I, Complete Cut-Off of Access to US Equipment, would completely cut off the ROC's access to US equipment in the early 1980s. In addition, the ROCAF will presumably continue to require at least some all-weather interceptors, a role now filled by 36 F-104G's. These also will need to be replaced within the next five to ten years. Depending on PRC capabilities, the ROC may require a follow-up aircraft, such as the YF-16 or 17 for the 1980's.

At the lower range of the option, the ROC would be limited to replacement of items already in its inventory (e.g., the F-5E program would be completed and could be extended to replace additional obsolescent aircraft on a one-for-one basis); no new weapons systems would be authorized. At the upper range, the ROC would also be permitted to purchase some additional new weapons which we would judge as unlikely to be provocative to the PRC (e.g., improved air-to-air missiles and possibly Harpoon missiles). Advantages: -- would promote normalization of US-PRC relations; -- would have less severe impact on ROC confi- dence and stability than Option I; -- would have less severe impact on US influence with the ROC than Option I; -- would not require earlier and more substan- tial US role in defending Taiwan; -- would not require substantial US economic assistance to the ROC; -- would not cause concern in other Asian nations dependent on the US. Disadvantages: -- would not be sufficient to satisfy PRC demands for complete cut-off of US arms supply to the ROC; TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE 16. -- would not eliminate the possibility of PRC miscalculation of US intentions with respect to Taiwan; -- would not reduce the risk of ROC efforts to develop nuclear weapons; -- could cause ROC to increase its efforts to develop indigenous weapons systems; -- could cause ROC to increase its arms purchases from third countries; -- could cause ROC to seek more favorable terms for arms purchases from third countries; -- would not eliminate the possibility of ROC attempts to maintain the status quo through military means; -- would not eliminate the possibility of ROC attempts to achieve de jure independence; -- could cause PRC to increase pressure on the US to terminate the security treaty with the ROC; -- would require substantial US effort to monitor and enforce limitations on ROC access to US arms. Option III. Limited ROC Access to New Weapons This option would permit ROC access to some additional and new weapons which we would judge as unlikely to be provocative to the PRC (e.g., improved air-to-air missiles and possibly Harpoon missiles). At the lower range, we would permit ROC access to new weapons which would have little or no impact on the military balance in the Taiwan area. At the upper range, we would permit ROC access to new weapons which would have a more significant impact on the military balance in the Taiwan area. The upper range of this option would be similar to the lower range of Option IV (Substantial ROC Access to New Weapons). TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE 17.

Disadvantages: -- would not be sufficient to satisfy PRC demands for complete cut-off of US arms supply to the ROC; -- would not eliminate the possibility of PRC miscalculation of US intentions with respect to Taiwan; -- would not reduce the risk of ROC efforts to develop nuclear weapons; -- could cause ROC to increase its efforts to develop indigenous weapons systems; -- could cause ROC to increase its arms purchases from third countries; -- could cause ROC to seek more favorable terms for arms purchases from third countries; -- would not eliminate the possibility of ROC attempts to maintain the status quo through military means; TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE 18. -- would not eliminate the possibility of ROC attempts to achieve de jure independence; -- could cause PRC to increase pressure on the US to terminate the security treaty with the ROC; -- would require substantial US effort to monitor and enforce limitations on ROC access to US arms. Option IV. Substantial ROC Access to New Weapons This option would permit ROC access to a broad range of new weapons systems (e.g., large number of laser-guided bombs and YF-16 or 17 aircraft as follow-on to F-5E). At the lower range, ROC access to new weapons would be limited to those which would have little or no impact on the military balance in the Taiwan area. At the upper range, ROC access to new weapons would be limited only by the ROC's economic and technological capabilities. Advantages: -- would promote normalization of US-PRC relations; -- would have less severe impact on ROC confi- dence and stability than Option I; -- would have less severe impact on US influence with the ROC than Option I; -- would not require earlier and more substan- tial US role in defending Taiwan; -- would not require substantial US economic assistance to the ROC; -- would not cause concern in other Asian nations dependent on the US; -- would improve ROC's ability to defend itself against a PRC attack; TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE 19. -- would have the most beneficial impact on US defense industry; -- would have the most beneficial impact on US balance of payments; -- would have the most beneficial impact on US employment. Disadvantages: -- would not be sufficient to satisfy PRC demands for complete cut-off of US arms supply to the ROC; -- would not eliminate the possibility of PRC miscalculation of US intentions with respect to Taiwan; -- would not reduce the risk of ROC efforts to develop nuclear weapons; -- could cause ROC to increase its efforts to develop indigenous weapons systems; -- could cause ROC to increase its arms purchases from third countries; -- could cause ROC to seek more favorable terms for arms purchases from third countries; -- would not eliminate the possibility of ROC attempts to maintain the status quo through military means; -- would not eliminate the possibility of ROC attempts to achieve de jure independence; -- could cause PRC to increase pressure on the US to terminate the security treaty with the ROC; -- would require substantial US effort to monitor and enforce limitations on ROC access to US arms. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE perceive this option as a compromise between our desire to maintain a strong relationship with the ROC and our interest in improving relations with the PRC. Advantages: -~ could help maintain a balance between accommodating PRC sensitivities and fulfilling ROC needs for psychological confidence in its security; -~ could help preserve some elements of our arms relationship with the ROC as a bargaining chip for later use with Peking; -~ could reduce US economic burden; -~ could over time help convey to the ROC our interest in its seeking accommodation with the PRC. Disadvantages: -~ could erode ROC confidence in US support, possibly leading to instability on Taiwan or to ROC moves which could complicate our relations with the PRC; -~ could over time tempt PRC to threaten the use of force since disparity in relative military power in the Taiwan Strait area would gradually increase; -~ to extent ROC's self-defense capability is limited, would imply earlier and more extensive US role in the event of PRC attack; -~ might prompt accelerated ROC efforts to develop nuclear weapons. of ROC arms purchases, and the impact of these purchases on the ROC economy, are the following: -- the total amount of US credits available to the ROC; -- the rate of inflation in the ROC; -- the rate of economic growth in the ROC; -- the balance of payments situation of the ROC; and -- the amount of domestic resources in the ROC available for military spending. These factors are interrelated. For example, a high rate of inflation and a low rate of economic growth would tend to create a balance of payments problem and reduce the amount of domestic resources available for military spending. On the other hand, a low rate of inflation and a high rate of economic growth would tend to improve the balance of payments situation and increase the amount of domestic resources available for military spending. There are also external factors that could affect the ROC's economic capabilities, such as changes in the global economy, fluctuations in commodity prices, and shifts in international trade policies. These external factors are difficult to predict and could have a significant impact on the ROC's economic situation. In addition, the ROC's economic capabilities could be affected by its own domestic policies and decisions. For example, if the ROC government chooses to prioritize military spending over economic development, it could strain its economy and limit its ability to purchase new weapons. Therefore, it is important for the US to carefully consider the ROC's economic capabilities when making decisions about arms sales. The amount and timing of arms sales should take into account the ROC's economic situation and avoid placing excessive burden on its economy. This will help to ensure the stability and strength of the ROC, which is essential for maintaining peace and stability in the region. above those of the ROC. In addition, the government is committed to economic develop- ment programs which will require significant imports of capital goods, raw materials, and technology. Given the current economic situa- tion and the government's priorities, it is unlikely that the ROC will be able to increase its foreign exchange earnings at a rate suffi- cient to cover the costs of defense moderniza- tion. Therefore, it is possible that the ROC may have to slow the pace of its defense mod- ernization program or seek additional foreign exchange through loans or other means. tern of ROC defense expenditure over the next five years are those of GNP growth, budget allocation and foreign exchange availability. We do not anticipate that any of these will constrain the ROC from rising planned defense modernization purchases. Uncertainties, particularly with regard to foreign exchange availability, make it impossible to say how much more they may be able to spend. For the past decade, ROC defense expenditures as a percentage of GNP have fluctuated around 9-10%, remaining below the benchmark of 10% believed to be the upper limit set by the government. Consequently, while the military burden remained heavy, rapid economic growth permitted large rises in military expenditures without unduly burdening the economy. Over the next five-year period, however, the capability of the ROC economy to support continued increases in defense spending at past rates will diminish. The run of double-digit rates of real economic growth enjoyed by the ROC in the past has ended. The projection for 1974 is 6-7%, and the ROC has signaled its acceptance of lower future growth rates in its New Economic Development Plan which projects an average annual rate of real growth of 8% through 1984 (see attached table). Moreover, the susceptibility of Taiwan's economy to international shocks will remain, as will her continuing dependence on limited sources of external finance, markets abroad for her exports, and imported raw materials. The current FY 75 budget reflects the government's determination to proceed with its planned defense program in spite of rising costs. Expenditures budgeted for defense have risen from $771 million in FY 73 to $1.12 billion in FY 75 and are TOP SECRET SENSITIVE expected to reach $1.5 billion in FY 79 (see table). As a percentage of GNP, however, defense expenditures have declined from 9.9% in FY 73 to 8.6% (of projected GNP) in FY 75. Assuming annual rates of economic growth of 7-9%, self-financed defense expenditures should remain at 8-8.5% of GNP through FY 79 (when projected GNP will reach approximately $17.6 billion). It would be safe to assume that it is very unlikely defense expenditures would, at a maximum, exceed the 10% (of GNP) barrier, or $1.76 billion in 1979. Foreign exchange expenditures on defense, including debt servicing, totaled $207.3 million in FY 73. The foreign exchange cost of required material for the government's weapons acquisition/ modernization program over the next five years is projected at $1.15 billion, requiring an average annual outlay of about $230 million (see table). However, debt servicing estimated at $62 million in FY 1975, is projected to rise to $98 million by FY 1979 and FNS credits are expected to decline from $66 million in FY 75 to $16 million in FY 79. Thus, a foreign exchange shortfall is likely to occur. To obtain additional funds to cover this shortfall, the government would likely resort to additional international credit financing or a drawdown of foreign exchange reserves. Backed by its substantial reserves, $1,708 million at the end of August, 1974 and targeted to remain reasonably constant after 1975 at $1.4 billion, additional credit should be obtainable by the ROC. If the ROC chose instead to drawdown reserves to finance the shortfall, it would have little effect on its international financial position. While we feel reasonably confident that there will be sufficient exchange reserves to cover planned expenditures and even a modest shortfall, little can be said with assurance about maximum amounts of foreign exchange which might be available. Although current reserves are substantial, the government is now deeply committed to ten major infrastructure projects costing approximately $6 billion, energy costs are up sharply and overseas inflation rates are far above those of the ROC. In addition, the government is committed to economic development programs which will require significant imports of capital goods, raw materials, and technology. Given the current economic situation and the government's priorities, it is unlikely that the ROC will be able to increase its foreign exchange earnings at a rate sufficient to cover the costs of defense modernization. Therefore, it is possible that the ROC may have to slow the pace of its defense modernization program or seek additional foreign exchange through loans or other means. 3 H-6 bombers 1977-1979 (est) 120 F-9 ground and attack fighters 40 TU-2 bombers 70 M 3 H-6 bombers 5 TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE The PRC's military strategy for an attack on Taiwan would probably be based on the following assumptions: 1.

That the PRC would be able to maintain IG-15/17 ground attack fighters Elements of the South Sea Fleet would be available for augmentation as required. Scenario for Direct Assault A successful attack on Taiwan would require that the PRC achieve air superiority over Taiwan and the Strait area. This objective could be accomplished but only at fearful cost. The PRC has an overwhelming edge in the number of aircraft that could be used -- up to 2,200 fighters and bombers against the ROC's 250 fighter aircraft -~ but suffers from inadequate training and an apparent dearth of air-to-air missiles. As a defensive combat element, the small ROC fighter force, however, has superior aircraft, a reliable air-to-air missile and a corps of skilled and experienced pilots. In addition, Taiwan itself is defended by 96 Nike and Hawk SAM launchers.* Nonetheless, by disregarding losses, the PRC could eliminate the ROC air threat. Following neutralization of the ROC air threat, the large PRC East Sea Fleet could quickly eliminate the smaller, less well-equipped ROC Navy. The East Sea Fleet alone could provide limited screening and pre-invasion bombardment of selected landing beaches on Taiwan's west coast. Simultaneously, it could effectively seal off the off-shore islands and all Taiwan ports and harbors making it impossible for military supplies to be brought into Taiwan by sea. From the pool of some 950,000 men available for an amphibious assault on Taiwan, only a small proportion -- about 100,000 -- could be sealifted using all thirty of the Navy's amphibious ships and some 500 small landing craft. Approximately two divisions or 30,000 infantry troops with all their equipment could be transported in the amphibious ships. The remainder, some 70,000-odd lightly-equipped troops could be carried by some 500 small landing craft. Although the ROC Army includes over 300,000 personnel and 600 tanks, the PRC forces could probably maintain a beachhead for several days -- long enough to be reinforced in strength. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE *Each of the 72 Nike Launchers has 2 missiles; each of the 24 Hawk Launchers has 6 missiles. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE 3. In mounting the amphibious assault, the Chinese would probably use their limited airlift capability to paradrop an airborne regiment to help seal off a landing beach, to seize an airfield for follow-on airlifted landing or air resupply operations, or, if an administrative landing were planned, to capture and hold a port in Taiwan to receive the main invasion force. On the other hand, a lightly-equipped and small airborne force could be quickly isolated and eliminated by a numerically superior opposing force. Scenario for Blockade In order to establish an effective blockade of Taiwan, it would be necessary to neutralize Taiwan's air and air defense capabilities as in the scenario for direct assault. The East Sea Fleet's missile boat force and small patrol craft force could isolate Chinmen and Matsu and prevent sea resupply of forces garrisoned on these islands. The main surface fleet units equipped with the Styx missile together with the attack submarines of the East Sea Fleet could establish an effective blockade after neutralizing the ROC's conventionally armed The Situation in 1977-1979 In three to five years, the PRC's prospects for successful attack, although still uncertain, could be improved by the acquisition of air-to-air missiles and by additional more advanced aircraft. The ROC air force, on the other hand, is in the process of acquiring 100 F-5E's which can match anything the PRC is likely to obtain.

Hi dear thanks for asking question.Overmasturbation can not affect liver or kidney.Your liver problem and high uric acid is not because of masturbation.In fact masturbation can give pleasure.If you masturbate 3 times a day then some problem can occur by overmasturbation like chronic fatigue , anxiety , groin dyscomfort feeling etc....

HE CALLED ON THE NEW SYG TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE IN DRAWING POTENTIAL CONFLICTS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL. MAJOR ALSO SUGGESTED THAT ""PEACEMAKING AND PEACEKEEPING"" SHOULD RUN IN PARALLEL AND THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE SYG TO PRESENT THE COUNCIL WITH HIS IDEAS ON HOW THIS MAY BE DONE. + ARMS CONTROL: MAJOR SAID THERE WERE THREE PRIORITIES. FIRST, WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN AGREED TO MUST BE IMPLEMENTED, EXCLUDING START AND CFE. SECOND, STATES MUST COMMIT THEMSELVES TO FURTHER MEASURES OF DISARMAMENT, WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONVENTION. THIRD, EACH STATE MUST ENSURE THAT IT HAS ARRANGEMENTS IN PLACE TO PREVENT PROLIFERATION AND TO DISCOURAGE ACCUMULATION OF LETHAL WEAPONS. MAJOR ANNOUNCED THAT THE UK HAS BEGUN ACTING TO STRENGTHEN CONTROLS ON THE EXPORT OF SPECIFIC BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS AND ORGANISMS WHICH COULD BE MISUSED FOR WEAPONS PURPOSES. MAJOR CONCLUDED BY NOTING THAT THE 1990S WILL BE A DECADE OF TRANSFORMATION FOR THE UN. HE SAID THAT THE UK WAS DETERMINED TO PLAY A FULL PART IN THIS TRANSFORMATION AND THAT IT WOULD WORK WITH ALL ITS PARTNERS TO ENSURE THE SUCCESS OF THIS ENDEAVOR.

G. WHILE INTELLIGENT, HUA STRUCK US AS COLORLESS AND BY NO MEANS AN INTELLECTUAL. HE WAS METHODICAL AND CAREFUL IN HIS NOTE TAKING AND PRESENTATION, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE MEETING WHICH APPEARED TO SPARK HIS PARTICULAR INTEREST; THERE WAS NO INCLINATION TO EXPLORE NEW GROUND AND NO INTEREST IN ANY AREAS BEYOND THE BRIEF. HUA DEFINITELY DOES NOT HAVE THE PERSON- ALITY QUALITIES ASSOCIATED WITH CHAIRMAN MAO OR CHOU EN-LAI, NOT EVEN THE PEPPERY, DECISIVE VITALITY OF TENG HSIAO-PING. DURING THE MEETING, HE ALSO DID NOT DISPLAY THOSE QUALITIES WEST- ERNERS NORMALLY ASSOCIATE WITH A CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND IT APPEARED THAT HE WAS NOT THE KIND OF MAN WHO WOULD ATTRACT A DEVOTED FOLLOWING. IN PUTTING TOGETHER WHAT WE SAW OF HUA IN THE MEETING WITH WHAT IS KNOWN OF HIS BACKGROUND, WE CONCLUDE THAT HE IS A CAUTIOUS, IN- CISIVE, ECHELON TYPE WHO WOULD BE MOST AT HOME COORDINATING POLICIES. WE SUSPECT THAT HE IS A COMPETENT ADMINISTRATOR WHO APPEARED TO EXALT THE POSITIVE QUALITIES IN OUR MEETING WHILE MASKING HIS OWN VIEWS AND EMOTIONS BEHIND A BLAND EXTERIOR. ON OCCASION, HOWEVER, HUA LOOKED LIKE HE COULD BE TOUGH AS NAILS AND IT IS LIKELY THAT HE HAS MOVED UP IN THE PARTY STRUCTURE. THIS SUGGESTS THAT HE KNOWS HOW TO ACQUIRE AND USE POWER. WE SUSPECT HE UNDERSTANDS THE VALUE OF CUNNING AND THINKING AS SUBSTITUTES FOR INTELLECTUAL SPARKLE AND ATTRACTIVENESS. A MEMBER OF OUR STAFF WITH CONSIDERABLE SERVICE IN TAIPEI COMMENTED ON HUA'S SIMILARITY TO CHIANG CHING-KUO IN THIS RESPECT. IN GENERAL, IT IS HARD TO SAY ANYTHING DEFINITIVE ABOUT HUA'S VIEWS OF AMERICAN-CHINESE RELATIONS. BY DUCKING BLATANT TOPICS, HE PROBABLY MEANT TO SUGGEST NOTHING MORE THAN THE PRC WOULD LIKE A CALM AFTER NOVEMBER BEFORE FACING SERIOUSLY THE ISSUES. HE WAS CORDIAL IN THE MEETING, BUT MADE NO PERSONAL FRIENDLY REFERENCES TO THE UNITED STATES. MOREOVER, HE PASSED OVER THE SOVIET UNION QUITE QUICKLY. HE WAS CAREFUL, HOWEVER, TO EMPHASIZE THAT HE WAS CARRYING OUT WHAT SEEMED TO BE A CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT POLICY TOWARD THE UNITED STATES. GIVEN HUA'S GENERALLY CAUTIOUS APPROACH TO FOREIGN AFFAIRS, HE WOULD BE UNLIKELY TO RADICALLY CHANGE THIS POLICY TOWARD EITHER THE UNITED STATES OR THE SOVIET UNION EVEN AFTER HUA'S DEATH.

Bilateral relations will be served, and the accommodations of the returnees well protected. In case something like the following occurs: (a) As soon as the termination of the return of prisoners is known, arrangements will be made for them to arrive directly at Clark shortly in advance. We invite President Marcos and the small GOP party to visit Clark to welcome the returnees. The arrival will begin shortly after the Vice President's arrival. A locally attractive alternative would be for the Vice President to offer a touch-down at Manila International Airport long enough to have a brief stop at Clark. (b) Learners would be swayed in what we assume will be a peaceful and modest as well as an individual arrival of the released prisoners. (c) With the embassy taking over the support for the event and asking the Air Force to provide security, we would then schedule a discussion session between the Vice President and President Marcos for one or two hours. (d) With or without a meal at Clark, depending on the hour of the day, the exigencies of the Vice President's interrupted itinerary would then make it necessary for him to depart. The essentials of a visit to the Philippines would have been completed. (e) Our important ongoing business here could then proceed without the added burden of threatened severe misunderstandings. We have intimated the sense of this message to General Monre by phone, alluding to references A and B. But the foregoing proposal is from the embassy rather than a coordinated one.

The Board has also been able to establish that the security people at MIA were aware of the arrival of Aquino and Galman on CAL 811. The Board has testimony that the security people at MIA were told that Aquino would be arriving on a different flight and that they were not told that Galman would be with him. This testi- mony will be used to discredit the military's claim that the se- curity people at MIA thought Aquino was arriving on a later flight and that they were not aware of Galman's presence. Another “break"" that the Board is eagerly awaiting is the testi- mony of the two pilots of CAL 811. The Board has been told that the pilots will testify that they did not see Galman on the plane before they landed in Manila. This would contradict the testimony of the military that Galman boarded the plane in Taipei. The Board's Counsel has also been able to establish that the military's claim that Galman's passport was stamped in Taiwan before his arrival in Manila is not true. The Board has testi- mony that Galman's passport was not stamped in Taiwan, and that the stamp on his passport was made in Manila. This would tend to discredit the military's claim that Galman was a foreigner who entered the Philippines on August 21. The testimony of the military witnesses has been in sharp con- trast to that of the civilian witnesses. The military witnesses have been very evasive and have been unable to remember important details. Some of the military witnesses have even contradicted themselves during their testimony. The civilian witnesses, on the other hand, have been very coopera- tive and have provided a great deal of information. The testimony of Balang, the aircraft technician, is particularly significant because it contradicts the military's version of the assassination. The testimony of the two pilots of CAL 811 is also expected to be very important because it may contradict the military's claim that Galman boarded the plane in Taipei. Overall, the Agrava Board has been able to uncover numerous con- tradictions and inconsistencies in the military's version of the assassination. The Board's Counsel and staff have been very well prepared and have been able to expose these contradictions during the hearings. The testimony of the civilian witnesses has been particularly important in providing evidence that contradicts the military's version of events. As the hearings continue, it is expected that the Board will be able to uncover even more evidence that will discredit the military's version of the assassination. REVIEWED By: Scott S. Hallford EMBASSY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MANILA, PHILIPPINES NEC RET. January 18, 1984 MEMORANDUM DEPLAT ALE? FROM OTATE BY CLO SR REVIEWED BY: Scott S. Hallford TO: The Ambassador FROM: POL - Scott S. Hallford SUBJECT: The Agrava Board: An Assessment of the Hearings to Date The Agrava Board has been holding hearings for nearly two months, and it is now possible to make a preliminary assessment of the Board and the testimony to date. The Agrava Board Shortly after their swearing in on October 22, members of the Agrava Board named Francisco Villa as the Board's Deputy General Counsel in Charge of Investigation. Villa is a former investigator for the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), and former Police —and is now a partner in one of Manila's leading law firms. Some observers have expressed doubt about the Board's intentions during early hearings, as it appeared that the Board's Counsel would expose an apparent contradiction in a witness' testimony, only to let him off the hook. However, as the questioning continued, it became apparent that the Board was uncovering numerous contradictions. Not all of the military witnesses have testified, but the military version of the assassination is nearly complete. There are a few military witnesses that the Board already has plans to call, and as new information is uncovered, they have been calling back or recalling military witnesses. One witness that the Board intends to call is Lt. Col. Rolando Abadilla, an intelligence officer who was present at Manila International Airport (MIA) on August 21. The Board has questioned most of the journalists who were near the China Airlines aircraft that brought Aquino to Manila. It is believed that some of the journalists may have seen the assassination but are afraid to testify. One photojournalist for Manila's ""Bulletin Today"" newspaper who did testify claimed not to have seen the shooting, although there is still doubt that he told all he knows. The testimony of Ramon Balang, the aircraft technician, is the first important contradiction to the military version of the assassination. What makes Balang's testimony significant is that he did not sign a statement for the military claiming to have seen nothing, so his testimony about Galman does not contradict anything he said before. The Board is making a special effort to treat Balang in a way that will encourage other prospective witnesses to come forward. They originally took his testimony in a private setting away from the hearing room. When Balang later appeared before the Board in an open hearing, they allowed him to consult with his attorney before answering any questions put to him. Another impending ""break"" is the identification of Ms. Arelenia Santos, the ""crying lady"" caught in a photograph as she came off CAL 811. She initially stated she saw the killing but then declined to talk after Col. Tigas of the Presidential Security assigned to the Office of Media Affairs spoke to her. She is expected to testify next week. The Board has also been able to establish that the security personnel at MIA were aware of the arrival of Aquino and Galman on CAL 811. They have testimony that the security personnel were told that Aquino would be arriving on a different flight and that they were not told that Galman would be with him. This testimony will be used to discredit the military's claim that the security personnel at MIA thought Aquino was arriving on a later flight and that they were not aware of Galman's presence. Another ""break"" that the Board is eagerly awaiting is the testimony of the two pilots of CAL 811. They have been told that the pilots will testify that they did not see Galman on the plane before they landed in Manila. This would contradict the testimony of the military that Galman boarded the plane in Taipei. The Board's Counsel has also been able to establish that the military's claim that Galman's passport was stamped in Taiwan before his arrival in Manila is not true. They have testimony that Galman's passport was not stamped in Taiwan, and that the stamp on his passport was made in Manila. This would tend to discredit the military's claim that Galman was a foreigner who entered the Philippines on August 21. The testimony of the military witnesses has been in sharp contrast to that of the civilian witnesses. The military witnesses have been very evasive and have been unable to remember important details. Some of the military witnesses have even contradicted themselves during their testimony. The civilian witnesses, on the other hand, have of the arrival time of Aquino on Aug. 21 (testimony of Col. Tigas); -- The government had no intelligence reports of any threats against Aquino's life on Aug. 21 (testimony of Gen. Fabian Ver, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines); -- The government had no knowledge of Aquino's travel plans on Aug. 21 (testimony of Gen. Fabian Ver); -- The government did not have any intelligence reports on Aquino's movements in Taipei (testimony of Gen.

The Embassy has forwarded the Board's requests to the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington, D.C. The Embassy has also asked the Department of Justice to review the Board's request for assistance in light of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in the case of the United States v. Santana, 427 U.S. 38 (1976), which held that the United States Government cannot provide expert witnesses to foreign governments in criminal cases. The Embassy will keep the Department informed of the Board's requests and the Department's response. Thank you for your assistance. The corrected text is as follows: During the arrival of Aquino, the photographers were informed that they could proceed to Gate 8 35 to 40 minutes before CAL 311 docked (testimony of photographers). A group of photographers was able to descend to the tarmac and board the service stairs to the movable bridge of a Cathay Pacific V4 flight that arrived at 1206 hrs., within an hour of CAL 811's arrival, without being challenged, despite the deployment of Avsecom personnel from the Avsecom van in a manner similar to their deployment later after the arrival of CAL 811 (testimony of photographers). The Avsecom captain responsible for security in front of CAL 811 testified that he heard through his hand-held radio after CAL 811 had docked that Plan Bravo (bringing Aquino down the stairs) would be in effect. Brig. Gen. Custodio had testified that he had told his men at 1250 hrs., fifteen minutes before CAL 811 docked, that Plan Bravo was in effect (testimony of Captain Kavinta). A Royal Brunei aircraft that arrived almost simultaneously with CAL 811 was not singled out by the boarding party for examination; moreover, Captain Valerio directed the Avsecom van to meet CAL 811 (testimony of Captain Valerio). Three to five men in barongs followed Aquino and his military escorts down the stairs (PAL employee Ramon Balang's testimony). Immediately after Aquino was shot, a man wearing a barong was close behind him (Ramon Balang's testimony). Sgt. de Guzman, who testified to having been the first to shoot Galman, first testified that he fired from the rear bumper of the Avsecom van three shots at the back of Galman, the first one hitting Galman in the head, hesitated because he heard shots from a companion, then turned and fired four more shots at Galman. A half hour after giving this testimony, de Guzman said he fired the seven shots consecutively into Galman. He repeated the latter version during more detailed questioning (Sgt. de Guzman's testimony). Sgt. Mateo, also a member of Team Alpha positioned inside the van, testified that he did not see the shooting of Aquino but that when he saw de Guzman shooting Galman, he too started firing at Galman because he assumed de Guzman would not have been shooting without cause (Sgt. Mateo's testimony). Immediately after Aquino was shot, Galman, standing on the tarmac, was surrounded by three or four Avsecom soldiers. He appeared to be smiling at them as if he knew them and was not resisting or fighting (Ramon Balang's testimony). After Aquino and Galman were shot, the Avsecom van began moving away and after having gone about 15 feet, returned to its original position (testimony of Louis Perez, photographer for the ""Bulletin Today""). There has been no military testimony to this effect. Sgt. Miranda, identified in the Olivas Report to the Fernando Commission as the man in barong who was filmed hiding behind the wheels of the aircraft immediately after the shootings and who had earlier descended the stairs with Aquino's escorts, reportedly stood up and raised his hands before running over to the area where Captain Kavinta stood (testimony of Captain Kavinta). Films show that Miranda did not raise his hands. The sequence of shots described by the military does not match the timing depicted on video films taken on the aircraft and does not match the timing of shots heard by photographers.

I use moisturizer and face masks once in a while. When I wear makeup, I use the healthiest makeup with removing wipes, and nothing seems to be working. After using a toner, I am not getting many whiteheads, and I am not popping them. But now, the problem is blackheads. I get them mainly on my nose, around my mouth and chin. I used a charcoal mask that is highly famous and also used special blackhead face washes. Nothing helped me. What can I do to clear my skin? When I try to extract the blackheads, my face becomes dry and flaky. Sometimes, they are deep, and they start to bleed. Then a scab forms over it and my skin start to peel around the scabs. Please suggest. Hi. Blackheads are needed to be extracted. There is a specific method available to remove them. If it is not performed correctly, it can lead to more inflammatory acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. I would suggest you visit a dermatologist because comedones do not resolve with topical medications and face masks. Start using Clindamycin and Adapalene combination gel over the comedones and acne at bedtime. It helps to extract them easily.

Nuclear scan will help in ruling out the same. If it shows something than exact blockage can be quantified by angiography which can than be treated accordingly.

The USG is deeply concerned over the danger to international stability inherent in the spread of missile delivery systems. A number of countries are on the threshold of developing the capability to utilize the technology of ballistic missile systems able to deliver nuclear or chemical weapons. We have raised with you our desire to control transfer of missile technologies. This most recent development heightens the urgency for a more effective dialogue between our two countries on this question. Such a dialogue would minimize any possibility of misunderstandings counterproductive to our common interest in developing and expanding mutually beneficial cooperation. Even more immediately, telephone calls from US media lead us to expect the news of the Saudi installations will appear in tomorrow's papers. We have a mutual interest in responding to immediate and subsequent press queries in a manner providing the best reassurances we can make. In this connection, we would like to know the following: 1.

What is its accuracy (in terms of meters, circular error probability or CEP)? 5. Has the system ever been designed or tested with a chemical warhead?

Accordingly, we are placing our work in abeyance pending further instruction. If any party is interested in litigating further the direct access decision from September 20, it will be necessary to petition for rehearing at the PUC. An aggrieved party will only be able to go to court if the PUC denies the petition for rehearing or upholds its original decision following rehearing. The grounds for judicial review now appear to be limited to (1) denial of procedural due process and (2) PUC conduct contrary to law. This latter argument is based on a statutory duty to hold hearings when deciding whether to change a policy originally decided following hearings. Unlike the problems caused by a retroactive decision, there is probably no basis for a stay pending final decision. The attached petition is the most recent generation and has fairly accurate tables of authorities and content. It does not have the two most recent developments (the statement by the Department of Finance indicating that bonds may not be necessary and the argument that there was a statutory duty to conduct hearings). If this petition is revived, those arguments can be quickly inserted. I have also retained all comments so those will be available if the petition is revived. Best regards,",Public "Hello, Dr Shehzad Topiwala! My name is Daniel, and I am seeking your professional advice and expertice. I am 21 years old, male, good health, fit, no smoking or excessive alcohol. I am experiencing low testosterone symptoms such as: no sex drive, ED, depressed mood, etc. My sex life is almost non-existent. I am 21 years old, and should not be dealing with problems like these. The blood work done with my doctor, all came back within the normal range, and my doctor tells me everything is like it should be, yet I don’t feel like it is. I have gotten a copy of my results and did some research online. Aberrantly my T-levels at 14,5 nmol/L (around 350-400 converted to ng/dl), are in the same range as an average 80 year old… My testosterone levels are not god for a guy my age, and far from optimal. So I went back to my doctor, but now she tells me my symptoms are caused by depression. I admit feeling depressed, but that is a result of my problems, depression is not causing them. And then she continued to prescribe me some Viagra… I am confident in saying that the symptoms I am experiencing are hormone/testosterone related, not psychological. My testosterone levels are low, but not low enough to get treatment, and thereby no chance to get sent of to an expert on the subject. So I am glad I found your internet service. What am I supposed to do? I cannot live like this, life feels so empty at the moment, and I don’t feel youthful at all… Some of my friends tells me that they can masturbate/have sex 3-4 times a day. Me, I need a two-day recharge time after just one “session”. Below are my results, please take a look at them, what do you think? Free T4 18.9 pmol/L 11.0 - 22.0 FSH 3.9 IE/L 1.0 – 12.0 Cortisol 577 nmol/L LH 9.7 IE/L 1.0 – 10.0 Prolactin 156 mIE/L 100 – 400 SHBG 18 nmol/L 15 – 85 Testosterone 14.5 nmol/L 9.0 – 35.0 TSH 0.66 mIE/L 0.30 – 4.2 Estradiol 0.09 nmol/L 00 – 0.16 Free Testosterone 7.1 3.0 – 14.7 I was hoping your profession on this subject could cast some light on my situation. Do you see anything out of the ordinary when looking at my blood test results? I am noticing elevated LH levels, along with the low testosterone, does this mean there could be something wrong with my testicles/leydig cells ? One guy told me that my pituary maby needed a kickstart. And that my T-levels would increase with the use of a drug like arimidex or clomid. To my understanding, these drugs work by increasing the LH levels, thus increasing testosterone. If my leydig cells where not responding well, trying this would be pointless? If possible, I would ask for a detailed response. Thank you in advance. Best regards Daniel Hi, Low testosterone can be treated by hormone replacement therapy and assisted reproduction. Also, hormone affects body processes by regulating the activity of the organs. Estrogen modulator mimics the effect of oestrogen on various tissues, including the breast, bones and reproductive organs. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

THIS STEMS FROM TWO FACTORS: FURTHER ENCROACHMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT INTO THE PRIVATE SECTOR, AND THE PERCEIVED UNWILLINGNESS OF THE GOVERNMENT TO ADOPT POLICIES AND MEASURES THAT WOULD MAKE THE PHILIPPINES A MORE EFFECTIVE COMPETITOR FOR FOREIGN INVESTMENT. THE GOVERNMENT'S ACQUISITION OF MOST OF THE SHARES OF THE HUGH CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF THE PHILIPPINES THROUGH CAPITALIZATION OF THE COMPANY'S DEBTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT BANK OF THE PHILIPPINES HAS STIMULATED A PUBLIC DEBATE INVOLVING MINISTER OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY ROBERTO ONGPIN AND HIS BROTHER, JAIME ONGPIN. IT HAS ALSO STIMULATED AN UNFAVORABLE REACTION ON THE PART OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY GENERALLY. PERCEIVED GOVERNMENT POLICIES AND A NUMBER OF JUDICIAL AND REGULATORY ACTIONS ADVERSE TO U.S. AND OTHER FOREIGN INTERESTS LED US TO PROTEST THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE SIGNING OF A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ON INVESTMENT. THIS ACTION GOT THE ATTENTION OF PHILIPPINE POLICY MAKERS. SEVERAL OF THE PROBLEMS WHICH LED TO OUR PROTEST HAVE SINCE BEEN RESOLVED. THERE IS ALSO SOME INDICATION THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS BEGINNING TO SEE ITS INVESTMENT POLICIES IN A SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT LIGHT. ONE OF THE CHIEF COMPLAINTS OF FOREIGN INVESTORS IS THEIR INABILITY TO LEASE OR HOLD LAND ON A PREDICTABLE, LONG-TERM BASIS. AS A PARTIAL RESPONSE TO THIS, THE GOP RECENTLY ANNOUNCED PLANS TO RELAX THE PROVISIONS ON LAND OWNERSHIP APPLIED TO FOREIGNERS, AT LEAST AS THEY RELATE TO PRIVATE AND COMPANY HOUSING.

One pomegranate a day will help to keep your heart at good pace without clot formation.Stressmanagemet is extremely vital in your case.

Box - cross experiences 83 AET 2 PY As a acts - - MEMORANDUM TO: CLAUDE FROM: CHARLIE HILL SUBJECT: REVIEW OF PHILIPPINE INSURGENCY The recent assassination of Aquino has brought attention to the ongoing Philippine insurgency and its significance in the country's stability. The incident, in which 42 individuals were killed, occurred in an area under insurgent control and seems to be more of a result of military carelessness rather than an indication of increased insurgent capabilities. However, it highlights the fact that the Philippine government has made little progress in addressing the insurgency that has been ongoing for the past two decades. The government has been unable to effectively deal with the insurgency, despite attempts by the communists to exploit the Aquino assassination, particularly in Manila. The Communist Party of the Philippines/New People's Army (CPP/NPA), which is a nationalist and independent group, is gradually gaining control but has support from only a small percentage of the population. Meanwhile, the government's military efforts have not been successful and basic services are not being provided to the rural population, leading to increasing alienation.

They took some tests and provided a report stating everything is normal. But am confused here.Can you please help? Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. With your history of getting abdominal pain of such severity after marriage, I could think of either a resistant UTI (urinary tract infection) or a PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a routine and microscopic test of urine followed by a culture and sensitivity test and treat it if positive. The PID could be diagnosed by a gynaecological examination and a vaginal swab culture and sensitivity test. Apart from this, a general abdominal examination along with an ultrasound of abdomen would be required to rule out any other intra abdominal pathology. Till then, I would advise you with an anti spasmodic along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief.I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem.

To solve this question, it is necessary to recognize the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China and to withdraw all U.S. armed forces and military installations from Taiwan. This is the fundamental principle, and it is also the key to the solution of the Taiwan question. I would like to repeat once again that the Chinese Government is willing to sit down and engage in negotiations with the United States of America to discuss the question of relaxing tensions in the Far East and especially to discuss relaxing tensions in the Taiwan area.

I would like to ask you, Mr. Ambassador, whether the United States Government is prepared to discuss with the Chinese Government the question of concluding an agreement on the Five Principles of Peaceful Co states. We fully understand and appreciate the concerns of the Chinese Government on this matter. However, we also believe that the question of Taiwan is a complex issue that requires careful consideration and a comprehensive solution. We have consistently expressed our desire to peacefully resolve this issue through dialogue and negotiations based on the principles of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. We are committed to improving relations with the People's Republic of China and are willing to engage in discussions and explorations on this issue. As you have suggested, talks at a higher level or the sending of a representative to Peking or Washington could be a productive step towards finding a solution. We also agree that the settlement of the Taiwan question is crucial for the improvement of Sino-US relations and the resolution of other issues. We hope that through continued dialogue and cooperation, we can find a way to peacefully coexist and move towards a more positive relationship. Thank you for your statement, Mr. Chargé d'Affaires. We will continue to carefully consider your views and work towards a resolution of this important issue. SECRET/NODIS meet with you to discuss a possible resolution of these issues. ments, and we hope that as these meetings progress we will be able to arrive at some meeting of minds on this subject. My Government feels, however, that in our discussions we can and should move forward simultaneously, not only on the question of Taiwan, but also on the whole range of bilateral issues between our two countries. Progress on such issues can be expected to contribute toward further progress on others. We have a problem of atmosphere, of building of confidence. This is essential to the easing of tensions and in turn, will contribute to a more rapid resolution of the more fundamental problems between us. Mr. Chargé d'Affaires, let me state as clearly and as frankly as possible our position on the question of Taiwan. It is my Government's position that the question of the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland of China is one to be resolved by those directly involved. While we will continue to adhere to the principle that the resolution of this question should be by peaceful means, without resort to the threat or use of force, we do not intend to interfere in any peaceful settlement of the Taiwan question which might be reached between the People's Republic of China and the government in Taipei. Our relationships with the Republic of China are consistent with that position. The limited United States military presence in this area is not designed to influence the political settlement of this problem nor is it a threat to the security of the People's Republic of China. Furthermore, it is my Government's intention to reduce those military facilities which we now have on Taiwan as tensions in the area diminish. I believe my Government's position on this SECRET/NODIS question is consistent with the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, and my Government is willing, should you agree, to discuss with you a joint declaration incorporating the principles which I have discussed and affirming our two governments' adherence to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. Mr. Chargé d'Affaires, at our meeting on January 20 you stated that your Government is willing to consider and discuss whatever ideas and suggestions my Government might put forward in accordance with the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, therefore really helping to reduce tensions between China and the United States. I will not review again today all the proposals which I mentioned in my statement of January 20 on which my Government feels that meaningful progress can be made. I would, however, like to mention one or two specific matters relating to the question of greater contacts between our two peoples. As you know, my Government has progressively eased its regulations on travel to the People's Republic of China which were imposed in 1950. On March 15 of this year these regulations must again either be renewed or abolished. We are seriously considering their non-renewal in the hope that this will contribute to freer contact between the people of our two countries. Similarly, my Government has amended its regulations governing trade with the People's Republic of China, permitting at least the beginning of an exchange of goods between our two peoples. The United States believes that further amendment of our controls on trade should be possible in the near future. An expression of interest on your part in improving and developing contacts in such areas would be noted with great interest by my Government and the American people. Mr. Chargé d'Affaires, as you know, in December of 1950 my Government and the Government of the People's Republic of China both took action to block the financial assets of the other country's citizens. The effect of these actions has been to prevent the development of trade and the settlement of obligations legitimately owed to the other side. Your Government in the past has expressed interest in resolving these questions. I am prepared, should you be interested, to meet with you to discuss a possible resolution of these issues. discuss arrangements for the expansion of trade in general and for the settlement of all debts between our two countries, including the unblocking of those SECRET/NODIS SECRET/NODIS 7 Warsaw A-Sé financial assets now controlled by both sides. Mr. Chargé d‘Affaires, at our meeting on January 20 I indicated the importance with which the American people view the question of United States citizens who are either missing or held prisoner in China. I want to emphasize again that progress on this issue would be taken as a welcome sign that our two countries have moved away from the old hostilities of the past and have moved toward a new and more constructive relationship. For example, in those cases where an American has nearly completed his prison sentence, it would be a small but significant step if your Government could arrange to commute the short period which still remains and enable him to return to the United States. The families of Americans who are missing in the area of China inquire regularly about the fate of these men. Simple confirmation of whether they are alive or dead would be greatly appreciated. In conclusion, Mr. Chargé d‘Affaires, I would like to express my Government's pleasure that this series of ambassadorial-level meetings has been resumed and that we have met again after only one month. As I indicated in our previous meeting, the United States is prepared to consider with you the possibility of sending a representative to your country or receiving your representative in the United States, should progress at these talks indicate that this would be useful in improving relations between our two countries. I have noted your specific statement today, about receiving a representative in Peking, and I will transmit it to my Government. As you know, it is my Government's view that these exchanges can make a valuable contribution toward the gradual resolution of the problems between our two countries. I believe we have made a useful start, and I hope that we will be able to make further progress based on a spirit of mutual understanding. SECRET/NODIS SECRET/NODIS 8 Warsaw A-84 Lei said: Mr. Ambassador. I have listened to your statement carefully. On the question of Taiwan, I have clearly set forth the position and attitude of our Government in my statement made at our first meeting as well as in my statement today. I will therefore not repeat them again. As regards your statement today, I will report this to my Government. I am not prepared to make any comment on such concrete questions as trade, exchange of personnel, exchanges of visits by personnel of our two countries, that you have mentioned today. That's all. I said: Mr. Chargé. I noted that you referred in your statement to the question of letters, packages, and visits by family members to prisoners in China. This of course is welcomed as a continuation of your policies of the past. However, unfortunately, this does not carry us any further beyond the present situation. Mr. Chargé d'affaires, in my statement today I mentioned the question of prisoners who have nearly completed their sentences and those Americans missing in the area of China. I would like to mention specifically two persons as examples of the type of cases we have in mind. Robert Fecteau, who was captured by your authorities in 1951, has nearly completed the twenty years to which he was sentenced, and the wife of Lt. Joseph Dunn, whose plane was shot down near Hainan Island, frequently asks about his fate. I hope that your Government will give sympathetic consideration to the view I have set forward on those cases, as well as to the more general problem posed by other Americans either imprisoned or missing in China. Mr. Chargé, on another question, I would like to ask for clarification. You mentioned higher-level meetings. Is it your understanding and preference that a higher-level meeting would replace our ambassadorial-level meetings, or would you envisage the two types of meetings taking place simultaneously? At we would continue our ambassadorial-level meetings in preparation for any higher-level meeting in the future? That's all. Lei said: JI am not prepared to make any further comments today on the question of American prisoners in China. But I will report what Mr. Ambassador has said today on this question to my Government. As regards the question of meetings at a higher level, which Mr. Ambassador has referred to in your statement, I have already indicated our position very clearly in my statement today, but I will be interested in listening to any ideas Mr. Ambassador has on this question. If on this question, that is, meetings at a higher level, if Mr. Ambassador has any ideas or any suggestions, I'll be ready to report them to my Government. I said: On the question of higher-level meetings, we naturally would like to provide the U.S. Government with as clear an idea as possible of what you have in mind. For example, one question which might arise concerning such a meeting is whether such a visit would be given publicity or would be maintained in confidence. Any other indications from your Government as to your views would be appreciated. However, if you are not able to add today to what you have said on this subject, I will report to my Government what you have stated. Lei said: Well, Mr. Ambassador, I have nothing more to say today. I said: Mr. Chargé, would you like me to make a suggestion with regard to our next meeting. Lei said: Yes, please. I said: I would suggest that we handle the question the same way as last time, that is, that our liaison officers are to be in touch with regard to our next meeting, which would be at your Embassy. Lei said: I agree to Mr. Ambassador's suggestion regarding the date for our next meeting, that is, that the date would be discussed and decided on later by our liaison personnel. Since this time our side proposed the date, it would be your turn to propose the date for the next meeting. I said: We agree. Mr. Chargé, again with regard to the press, I suggest that we handle the press the same way as last time. Lei said: Yes, I agree. I said: Mr. Chargé, I think we are finished with official business for today, and would like to invite you for tea in my office next door. (Lei began to answer before the interpretation. Chien reminded him of the use of the interpretation. Anderson said: I thank you for your invitation, but since I already have appointments, the question of having a cup of tea can be settled through our liaison personnel. We can find some other time. I will let you know. Thank you for the concrete arrangements for this meeting and for your hospitality. Goodbye. (On departing, Lei made a brief statement, interpreted into English by Chien, to the press in the lobby. It noted that the 136th ambassadorial-level meeting had taken place here today and that the two sides would be in touch concerning the date of the next meeting.)

I cannot minimize how key it is to the bilateral relationship overall, thus impacting on the military relationship. I hope that you appreciate that. The second issue I want to raise is the proliferation problem. The proliferation of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons and the missiles which can deliver them is a growing concern for the U.S. and the Department of Defense in particular. President Clinton has identified the proliferation of these weapons as ""one of our most urgent priorities."" I see the spread of weapons of mass destruction to states such as North Korea, Iraq, and Libya as one of the four key dangers facing international security in the coming years. I believe that effective and transparent export controls are integral to expanding and developing our bilateral relationship, including in the defense area. We must also work together to uphold international norms against proliferation such as those embodied in the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. The joint statement signed by the two Ministers is an important step forward in our nonproliferation dialogue. Eventually, China's membership in the MTCR would greatly strengthen that regime and help our mutually shared cause of non-proliferation. The United States and China are two great countries with great responsibilities. Together we can help contribute to peace and stability in the world. As China grows economically, politically and militarily, we want to be alongside as potential partners. Let us not have these problems prevent us from such a partnership. Regional Security— Let me elaborate a bit on how this partnership can contribute to solutions for two urgent regional security problems. Negotiations in Geneva have made very slow progress. We have offered steps towards normalization, assurances of a light-water-reactor package, and a promise not to - in North Korean words - ""strangle"" North Korea. I will end my comments on North Korea by asking China to continue its very useful role, since I am afraid the resolution of this issue will take some time and much more hard work. Defense Strategy and Planning— One of the very important and useful results of our military dialogue is to better understand each other's strategy and planning. China, because of its sheer size and influence, is undoubtedly the one nation in Asia which can affect the security of all of Asia. It is no wonder then that China's defense planning is closely watched by all your neighbors. Nevertheless, I would like to hear from you what your defense planning and strategy is for the rest of this century, so that I can better explain to our government and other Asian governments when they ask me what China's strategic intention is. SROReT Openness and interaction with neighboring militaries will allow you to dispel any misperceptions about your strategic intentions. Conclusion- I have spoken far too much in our session today. But I feel that there is much you and I need to talk about. This shows how important my visit to China is, and how pleased I am to be here in Beijing. Thank you again for your gracious hospitality, and I look forward to my meetings with the senior leaders of your government and senior officers of the PLA. You and I should have many chances to continue our conversation informally. I understand that I am scheduled to have a lunch with the Minister of National Defense Chi Haotian and also a dinner with Foreign Minister Qian Qichen. I am looking forward to these meetings and the opportunity to discuss these important issues further. Thank you again for your time and for the productive discussions we have had so far. I am confident that our two nations can work together to address the challenges we face and build a stronger and more cooperative relationship. with Minister Ding Henggao. Then this afternoon he and I will convene the Joint Defense Conversion Commission, to initiate a most important cooperation. Thank you again and I will see you later. LUNCH-HOSTED BY MINISTER DING HENGGAO TIME: 1200, Monday, Oct 17 PLACE: Great Hall of the People SCENARIO: SECDEF and selected party will be hosted at a working lunch by General Ding Henggao, Minister of the Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense, at the Great Hall of the People. This lunch precedes the meeting of the joint defense conversion commission, also at the Great Hall. OUR ISSUES: Since Minister Ding and SECDEF are co-chairmen of the joint commission, much of the conversation will be on the commission meeting to take place after lunch. PRC ISSUES: Co-chairmen of the joint commission, Minister Ding and SECDEF will discuss issues related to the commission meeting. COMMENTS OF FRANK COLSON AT THE U.S. CHINA DEFENSE CONVERSION COMMISSION GOOD MORNING. I AM FRANK COLSON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE DOD POLICY BOARD ON FEDERAL AVIATION. ON BEHALF OF DR. PERRY, I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR MANAGING DOD'S PORTION OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL AIR SPACE SYSTEM TO INCLUDE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, AIRSPACE MANAGEMENT, INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ACTIVITIES, AND CIVIL/MILITARY COOPERATION IN AIR DEFENSE. IN THE UNITED STATES, WE HAVE LONG BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN MANAGING OUR NATIONAL AIR SPACE. SINCE 1958, WE HAVE OPERATED A UNIFIED CIVIL/MILITARY AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS CLOSE COOPERATION BETWEEN CIVIL AND MILITARY AUTHORITIES IS ONE OF THE MAJOR FACTORS, WE BELIEVE, THAT HAS ALLOWED THE COMMERCIAL AVIATION SECTOR TO GROW SO RAPIDLY IN THE UNITED STATES. TODAY, OVER 50% OF THE WORLD'S AVIATION TAKES PLACE IN U.S. CONTROLLED AIRSPACE. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ACHIEVED THIS HIGH LEVEL OF CIVIL TRAFFIC, AND MAINTAINED THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF FLYING SAFETY, WITHOUT INHIBITING THE ABILITY OF THE MILITARY TO PERFORM ANY OF ITS MISSIONS. THE U.S. MILITARY CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN A HIGH STATE OF MILITARY READINESS THROUGH TRAINING, WE CONTINUE TO PERFORM ADVANCED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AT OUR TESTING RANGES, AND WE EFFECTIVELY PERFORM OUR AIR SOVEREIGNTY/AIR DEFENSE MISSION. WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THIS JOINT COMMISSION, AND THE TOPIC AREA MUTUALLY ACCEPTED BY BOTH SIDES AS AN AREA OF CONCERN, REPRESENTING THE MILITARY SIDE AND THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION REPRESENTING THE CIVIL SIDE, ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO INITIATING WORK IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WE SUGGEST STARTING WORK BY DEVELOPING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING ON BOTH SIDES OF HOW THE TWO NATIONAL SYSTEMS ARE CURRENTLY ORGANIZED AND THE RELATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CIVIL AND THE MILITARY AUTHORITIES IN MANAGING THE NATIONAL AIRSPACE AND FOR MAKING DECISIONS. TO THIS END, WE SUGGEST A JOINT CIVIL/MILITARY CHINESE DELEGATION TRAVEL TO THE U.S. AND VISIT A SERIES OF U.S. MILITARY BASES THAT PERFORM THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL/RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND THE AIR DEFENSE MISSION. THIS WOULD BE FOLLOWED BY A JOINT CIVIL/MILITARY U.S. DELEGATION THAT WOULD VISIT COMPARABLE CHINESE MILITARY FACILITIES. WITH THIS BETTER UNDERSTANDING, WE CAN THEN DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR NATIONAL GOALS FOR THE FUTURE IN AREAS SUCH AS AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL MODERNIZATION, AIR TRAFFIC CAPACITY GROWTH AND CIVIL/MILITARY COOPERATION. WITH A FOUNDATION AND UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR GOALS, WE CAN RECOMMEND TECHNOLOGIES AND SYSTEMS THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS. FURTHER, DOD AND FAA WILL WORK WITH U.S. INDUSTRY AND OTHER U.S. GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO ASSIST A TIMELY FLOW OF INFORMATION AND INTERACTION SUFFICIENT TO MEET YOUR NATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CAPACITY GOALS. I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR DISCUSSIONS ON THIS TOPIC DURING THIS VISIT TO CHINA. IN MID-NOVEMBER MR. DAVID HINSON, FAA ADMINISTRATOR, WILL BE VISITING CHINA. I WILL ALSO BE ACCOMPANYING HIM DURING HIS VISIT. IS IT AND LOOK FORWARD TO ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS TO REFINE OUR MUTUALLY ACCEPTABLE JOINT GOALS FOR THIS TOPIC AND TO AGREE ON A MUTUALLY ACCEPTABLE WORK PLAN. MEETING OF JOINT DEFENSE CONVERSION COMMISSION TIME: 1400, Monday, Oct 17 PLACE: Great Hall of the People SCENARIO: SECDEF and selected party will formally convene with the Chinese commission members and Chinese chairman Minister Ding Henggao the first meeting of the Joint Defense Conversion Commission. Detailed talking points can be found in Tab H-1. An agenda can be found in Tab H-2. OUR ISSUES: 1. What we want as results from the commission meeting are the following: A Statement of Principles (Tab H-4) to be agreed upon and released with press release (Tab H-7) either right after the meeting or the next morning. -~-A Structure and Procedures (Tab H-5) document for the Commission to be agreed upon. ~A minutes (Tab H-6) of the meeting to be agreed on by both sides. That will contain agreement to preliminarily cooperate on air traffic control (Tab H-8), exchange of defense conversion managers, and environmentally safe vehicles. It pushes to the future consideration of cooperating in civilian satellite technology, in wide-band integrated system digital network, and global mobile communications systems (Tab H-9). 2. Stress to Ding that licensing will be via normal USG channels. There is no shortcut even if the technology involved is needed for a particular agreed area of cooperation. JOINT DEFENSE CONVERSION COMMISSION TALKING POINTS (Minister Ding will welcome you, introduce the Chinese members of the commission, and invite you to make an opening statement before proceeding with his remarks, which should last about 25 minutes.) Thank you, Minister Ding. I remember well that it was on September 10, 1993, at Stanford when I discussed with Vice Minister Huai Guomo a cooperation between the United States and China on defense conversion. Today, thirteen months later, I am pleased to be here to convene with you the first meeting of the Joint Defense Conversion Commission. Let me first introduce to you the members of the U.S. side of the commission: - Barry Carter, Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce - Joe Nye, Assistant Secretary of Defense - Winston Lord, Assistant Secretary of State - Stanley Roth, Senior Director in the National Security Council - Mike Nacht, Assistant Director of ACDA - MG Mecllvoy, JCS/J-5 - Mitch Wallerstein, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, who is attending on behalf of Assistant Secretary of Defense Ash Carter - Eden Woon, OSD, who is the Commission executive secretary - Susan Long and Tom Becherer, staff members of the Commission - Ambassador Roy and General Byrnes are participating as our representatives in-country. Let me now yield back to you to continue your remarks, and I will follow with my remarks after that. Thank you, Minister Ding, for your presentation. I was particularly interested in your description of what China has been doing in defense conversion. Your success in this area is admired by the rest of the world. As you know, I am the chairman of three similar commissions, with Russia, with Ukraine, and with Belarus. But this commission is very different. One reason is that China is well ahead of the world in defense conversion, and has much to teach others in what it has done in the past 15 years. I, too, agree with you that cooperation in defense conversion not only is the most efficient way to use the defense industrial enterprises, but is beneficial to the economy of the country and contributes to peace. I like the name of the organization which COSTIND has set up to handle your business interactions - CAPUMIT, the China Association for the Peaceful Use of Military Industrial Technology. This name explains very plainly what defense conversion means. Let me describe for you a little bit of our defense conversion efforts: Over the last decade, U.S. procurement of defense systems has decreased significantly, resulting in a decline in production for our defense industry. As a result, we have been actively seeking opportunities for defense conversion, and have had some success in areas such as commercial satellite technology and advanced communications systems. However, we believe that there is much more potential for cooperation between our two countries in this area. We are particularly interested in exploring opportunities in air traffic control, defense conversion management, and environmentally safe vehicles. We hope that through this commission, we can lay the foundation for future cooperation in these areas and others. In conclusion, I want to thank you, Minister Ding, for your warm welcome and for the opportunity to convene this important commission. We look forward to productive discussions and mutually acceptable agreements that will benefit both of our countries. Thank you. The U.S. defense equipment has declined by over two-thirds. This $90 billion reduction has had an enormous impact on our defense industry and its employees. The U.S. has relied primarily on the market system and the decisions of individual managers to make adjustments and to convert their facilities to new activities. Decisions made at the company-level in the U.S. generate the movement of capital, the allocation of labor and the decisions about technology that are needed to respond to these changes in the defense spending. In addition to this market system, the USG has found it necessary to implement some federal government spending to aid this transition to less defense spending. However, we still believe that it is overall economic growth that creates the demand for the skilled workers, the new technologies and the industrial resources that are no longer used by the defense industry. I will tell you briefly about some of the federal programs that aid defense conversion: — National Defense Conversion Act of 1990: This act provides assistance to companies that are affected by the closing of a military base to help them organize and develop plans to re-use military assets. — The Economic Development Administration (EDA) at Commerce provides grants to communities who have lost major military contracts or installations. For example, a town in California received a grant to create an adequate sewer system at Castle Air Force Base, which can then be developed into a commercial business center. — The Technology Reinvestment Program (TRP) was designed to stimulate new thinking in private industry to develop promising new dual-use technologies. The program tries to encourage teaming among commercial and defense firms, large and small companies and universities, federal labs, and local governments. In 1993, $605 million in grants were made for technology development and deployment. For example, a grant was given to a consortium to develop a computer-aided earth-moving system using military GPS. This highlights some of the federal programs we use to support conversion and strengthen the U.S. technology and industrial base. For cooperation between the U.S. and China, I know that we have proposed air traffic control as an initial area of cooperation. I believe that you agree that a modern and safe transportation system which can quickly and efficiently transport people and goods is vital to China's economic development. I know that China's air traffic control system is undergoing revision now, and the United States wants to cooperate with China in this effort. This is why we have proposed the initiative of air traffic control system cooperation under the auspices of the joint defense conversion commission. The purpose of this initiative would be: — Where appropriate, promote the use of existing military air traffic control resources to support the development of civil aviation. — Promote the standardization of the Chinese air traffic control equipment industry so that military and civil air traffic control systems are compatible. — Promote increased coordination between military and civil air traffic control authorities in the area of airspace management, the future air navigation system (FANS), and other areas of mutual interest. Let me now let Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force Frank Colson take a few minutes to explain a little more in detail what this cooperation entails. (Frank Colson will give a ten-minute pitch on where the FAA wants to go next with this cooperation.) Thank you, Frank. Minister Ding, you may or may not know, there are many critics in the United States of our defense conversion cooperation. I do not agree with them, but I have to make sure that this cooperation can withstand criticism and actually accomplish the objectives which we both want. This is why we picked air traffic control as an initial area of cooperation, because this is a humanitarian area of cooperation.

People's Republic of China United States of America Minister, COSTIND Secretary of Defense Jt Defense Conversion Commission Jt Defense Conversion Commission Chairman for China Chairman for the United States Ding Henggao William J. Perry (signed) (signed) PRESS RELEASE At the first meeting of the Joint Defense Conversion Commission between the United States and China, U.S. co-chairman Secretary of Defense William J. Perry and Chinese Co-chairman Minister Ding Henggao of the Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense signed a Statement of Principles guiding the work of the Joint Commission. Secretary Perry and Minister Ding pledged to work together to help promote joint defense conversion projects. Under the umbrella of the Commission, Secretary Perry and Minister Ding plan to share experiences in the area of defense industry conversion to non-military production. Both Secretary Perry and Minister Ding agreed that ""there is much we can learn from each other in this civilian cooperation, and we hope to build on each other's experiences where it is feasible to do so. Many defense companies are involved in converting to production for peaceful purposes. We need to do all we can to promote this when possible."" Both sides agreed to pursue preliminary cooperation in air traffic control system and technology, and in environmentally-safe vehicle technology. Furthermore, the Commission will encourage the exchange of high-level managers engaged in defense conversion work. Air Traffic Control Initiative under the auspices of The U.S.-China Defense Conversion Commission Summary Efficient and safe air traffic control is essential to the growth of the aviation system in China and to economic growth itself. Economic growth is dependent upon a transportation system that can quickly and efficiently transport people and goods. In a country the size of China, the development of an air transport system is critical to sustained economic growth. Therefore, the U.S. Department of Defense proposes that the U.S. and Chinese governments enter into a cooperative effort in the air traffic control sector. The purpose of this initiative would be to: - Where appropriate, promote the use of existing military air traffic control resources to support the development of civil aviation. - Promote the standardization of the Chinese air traffic control equipment industry so that military and civil air traffic control systems are compatible. - Promote increased coordination between military and civil air traffic control authorities in the area of airspace management, the future air navigation system (FANS), and other related areas. This initiative would benefit both countries by improving the safety and efficiency of air traffic control, supporting economic growth, and promoting cooperation between the U.S. and China in the defense conversion sector. FANS, and other areas of mutual interest. Background Before the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was established in 1958, the United States had two systems for air traffic operations and air space management -- one run by the U.S. Department of Defense and another operated by the FAA's predecessor agency, the Civil Aeronautics Administration. The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 was passed after several years of national debate that focused on five issues: ° Poor coordination between the two authorities responsible for providing civil and military air traffic operations and airspace management, ° A series of fatal air crashes between civil and military aircraft operating under separate flight rules; ° The cost of providing two completely separate systems for operations and airspace management; ° How to provide for the military's air traffic operations requirements in a system that might be managed by a civil authority, and ° How to provide for significant growth in air traffic operations in a system which was badly constrained by the existence of two separate authorities (civil and military) for air traffic operations, airspace management and equipment design and procurement. This debate resulted in the 1958 legislation that created the Federal Aviation Agency, a civilian body, which was charged with: ° Controlling the use of the navigable airspace of the U.S.; ° The regulation of both civil and military operations in that airspace; and ° The development and operation of a common system of air traffic control and navigation for both military and civil aircraft. This legislation poised the United States to take full advantage of a national asset -- its airspace -- to support economic growth while at the same time maintaining its sovereign air defense requirements. China -- with its 30 percent annual growth in air traffic -- faces air traffic control issues similar to those encountered by the U.S. during its high aviation growth period. The U.S.-China Defense Conversion Commission provides a forum under which the two countries can enter into cooperative efforts in the air traffic arena that would lead to increased coordination between the civil and military air traffic authorities and consistent with the objectives of the Commission, the increased use of airspace for civil purposes as appropriate. Areas of possible cooperation include: ° Where appropriate, cooperation in the identification and use of existing military air traffic control resources to support the development of civil aviation; ° Cooperation to promote the standardization of both civilian and military air traffic control equipment so that the systems can provide for seamless air traffic control between both civil and military controllers; and ° Cooperative efforts leading to increased coordination between military and civil air traffic control authorities in the area of airspace management, the future FANS), and other areas of mutual interest. The lead organizations for this effort on the U.S. side will be: U.S. Department of Defense Policy Board on Federal Aviation U.S. Federal Aviation Administration U.S. industry trade associations as appropriate. China/DODPROP INTEGRATED SERVICES DIGITAL NETWORK (ISDN) ISDN is switching equipment supporting a network architecture and digital subscriber interface for transmission of both voice and high-speed data simultaneously. Narrowband ISDN offers simultaneously separately signaled traffic patterns. Broadband ISDN is more advanced, has greater bandwidth, and more flexible allocation since it is not restricted to a channelized format. ISDN switching equipment for China does not require an Individual Validated License (IVL), nor does test equipment and software for ISDN switching equipment. Development and production technology for ISDN, both levels, does require an IVL. ISDN has significant military applicability for C3I. CELLULAR MOBILE TECHNOLOGY First generation cellular r telephone equipment, which is analog and does not include cryptography, does not require an IVL. The technology for producing this equipment, however, does require such a license. Second and third generation cellular equipment is digital, uses spread spectrum radio techniques and employs access protocols which Must use cryptography to work. Both the technology and the equipment require an IVL. The technology for manufacturing digital cellular telephone equipment involves not only IVL-controlled digital cellular technology, but controlled cryptographic technology on the Very Sensitive List (presumption of denial). Strategic concerns, relating to secure spread- spectrum mobile high-speed digital communications, include capability for tactical and reconstitutable imagery capable C3I. ~ Material provided by Patrick Sullivan, DTSA/STTD GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) SATELLITES Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, their ground control/support equipment and associated technology are embargoed to the PRC under both the International Trade in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the U.S. Munitions List (USML). Most civil GPS receiver equipment and associated technology are not controlled. GPS receiver equipment and associated technology are embargoed to the PRC if it (s) has anull-steerable antenna, (2) employs encryption/decryption; (3) is capable of providing navigation information under the following operations conditions, at speeds in excess of 515 m/sec and at altitudes in excess of 18 km, or (4) is capable of use with unmanned air vehicles (weapons delivery systems). A military concern for the export of receiver equipment and technology is its use for guidance in delivery systems for precision guided munitions of all types (cruise missiles, UAVS, etc.). Material prepared by Anthony Lombardi, DTSA/STTD ELECTRIC MOTORS FOR NON-POLLUTING AUTOMOBILES No licensing requirements to China are required for the motors or the batteries (power source) for electric vehicles. Certain other batteries are controlled but these have extreme energy densities and other strategic military capabilities that would not be required for electric cars. There are no critical military applications for the motors or batteries used in electric motor cars that would prevent export to China. These are, however, obviously dual use items and as such have various military uses. Material prepared by Jerry Nini, DTSA/STTD SECRET MEETING/DINNER WITH GENERAL LIU HUAQING TIME: 1750, Monday, Oct 17 PLACE: Diaoyutai State Guesthouse SCENARIO: SECDEF will have a forty-minute private meeting with General Liu Huagqing before the ""small"" dinner hosted by General and Madame Xu (""HSU"") begins at 1900 with a subset of the SECDEF party. An informal toast may be given by Liu at the dinner, and SECDEF could reciprocate. The private meeting gives SECDEF an opportunity to renew his acquaintance with Liu and to privately urge him to continue military-to-military contacts, especially in the areas of defense conversion and arms control. OUR ISSUES: In the private meeting, SECDEF could discuss the results of the joint defense conversion commission and emphasize the importance of continued military-to- military contacts between the US and China. He could also discuss the potential benefits of arms control and urge China to consider participating in discussions on the subject. DINNER WITH GENERAL LIU HUAQING TIME: 1900, Monday, Oct 17 PLACE: Diaoyutai State Guesthouse SCENARIO: This is a ""small"" dinner hosted by General and Madame Xu (""HSU"") in honor of SECDEF and his delegation. There will be about twelve people in attendance, including General Liu Huagqing and his wife, and several other high- ranking Chinese officials. The dinner will last about two hours, with informal conversation and toasts throughout. OUR ISSUES: In his toast, SECDEF could thank General Liu and the Chinese government for their hospitality and express his hopes for continued military-to-military cooperation between the US and China.

MEETING WITH MINISTER DING TIME: 1000, Tuesday, Oct 18 PLACE: Ministry of National Defense SCENARIO: This is a meeting between SECDEF and Minister of National Defense, General Ding Henggao. The meeting will last about forty-five minutes, with a possible photo opportunity beforehand. After the meeting, there will be a joint press conference with Minister Ding and SECDEF. OUR ISSUES: In the meeting, SECDEF could discuss the results of the joint defense conversion commission and urge China to continue military-to-military contacts and consider participating in arms control discussions. He could also discuss regional security concerns and the importance of maintaining stability in the Asia-Pacific region. PRESS CONFERENCE WITH MINISTER DING TIME: 1100, Tuesday, Oct 18 PLACE: Ministry of National Defense SCENARIO: This is a joint press conference with Minister of National Defense, General Ding Henggao and SECDEF. The press conference will last about thirty minutes, with each official making a brief statement and then taking questions from the press. OUR ISSUES: In his statement, SECDEF could discuss the results of the joint defense conversion commission and emphasize the importance of continued military-to-military contacts and potential benefits of arms control. He could also discuss regional security concerns and the importance of maintaining stability in the Asia-Pacific region. Aming (ding jah-ming), the ice Chief of the PLA General Staff. We had a very good exchange of views on the egional security environment and on our bilateral elationship. I stressed to General Chi that the United States s committed to a “One China” policy, that we oppose ny unilateral moves to change the status quo, and hat we do not support Taiwan independence. I also made clear that we are concerned about he proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. I told General Chi that the United States has een actively engaged in trying to resolve the North orean nuclear issue, and that we would like to see hina use its considerable influence with North Korea o help bring about a resolution. I also met with Foreign Minister Qian Qichen nd Vice Premier and Minister of Foreign Trade and conomic Cooperation Wu Yi (woo ee). We discussed the importance of strengthening ur military-to-military contacts and agreed to xchange visits by our defense establishments. We also agreed to continue discussions on roblems in the areas of security and non- roliferation. Finally, I met with President Jiang Zemin (jeeahng zuh-meen) and Premier Li Peng (lee pung). I had a very good discussion with President iang, and I believe that we have a better nderstanding of each other’s concerns. The Chinese side raised a number of issues that oncern them, including the possibility of U.S. arms ales to Taiwan. I assured them that we would continue to abide y the Taiwan Relations Act and the three ommuniques. I also stressed that our military-to-military elationship with China should be viewed in a egional context. The United States has security commitments to apan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, and hailand. We believe that a more open dialogue between ur two militaries can help reduce concerns that ther countries may have. In the following: 1. Results of the joint defense conversion commission meeting and what it means for US. businesses. 2. SECDEF's view on the military relationship. 3. Whether sanctions will be lifted soon on munitions list items and dual-use items desired by the PLA. 4. Whether the military relationship will soon include an arms sales or military technology component. 5. Whether SECDEF could help expedite licenses now stalled in DoD which businesses need approved in order to do business in China. 1. Results of the joint defense conversion commission meeting and what it means for US businesses. The results of the joint defense conversion commission meeting were not mentioned in the text. However, the meeting between the Department of Defense and China's Ministry of National Defense was described as productive and aimed at improving the understanding of each other's security concerns. It is possible that the commission meeting also discussed issues related to defense conversion, but this is not explicitly stated. 2. SECDEF's view on the military relationship. SECDEF's view on the military relationship between the US and China was described as positive and beneficial for both countries. He emphasized the importance of open dialogue and trust-building between the two militaries. 3. Whether sanctions will be lifted soon on munitions list items and dual-use items desired by the PLA. There is no mention of sanctions being lifted on munitions list items or dual-use items desired by the PLA in the text. However, it is mentioned that the ban on certain high-technology sales may be lifted following the Chinese government's agreement to adhere to the terms of the Missile Technology Control Regime. 4. Whether the military relationship will soon include an arms sales or military technology component. There is no mention of arms sales or military technology being included in the military relationship between the US and China. However, it is mentioned that there will be closer and more trusting security relationship between the two countries. 5. Whether SECDEF could help expedite licenses now stalled in DoD which businesses need approved in order to do business in China. There is no mention of licenses being stalled in DoD or SECDEF's involvement in expediting them in the text. However, the Secretary of Defense did discuss the importance of strengthening military-to-military contacts and agreed to exchange visits between the defense establishments of the US and China. This could potentially have a positive impact on businesses seeking to do business in China. Henggao (Ding Hun-gao), Minister of the Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense -- or COSTIND for short. And last evening I was able to meet for some time with General Liu Huaging (Lee Yo Hwa-ching), who is vice chairman of the Central Military Commission. I have known him for a long time, and it was good to see him again. [personal stories? anecdote?] Another significant achievement of this trip was the agreement on a Statement of Principles by Minister Ding (Ding) of COSTIND and myself. This statement will guide the work of the U.S.- China Joint Defense Conversion Commission, which he and I co-chair. The commission’s task is to help promote defense conversion cooperation between China and the United States. With the end of the Cold War, it’s not just the Russians and the Americans who need to find ways to use the resources formerly devoted to making guns and use them to make more butter instead. The Chinese also have a defense industry that's too big for their needs. The British writer, Samuel Johnson, wrote that change is often inconvenient, even when it’s for the better. Defense conversion isn’t easy for us, the Russians, or the Chinese. But it is for the better. And the Chinese have had a head start, since they’ve been pursuing it for 15 years. Minister Ding (Ding) and I agreed to promote cooperation in two particular areas -- an air traffic control system and environmentally-safe vehicles. China has very great needs in both these areas. And these needs will only grow as China continues to modernize and experience rapid economic growth. We also agreed to promote cooperation between Chinese and U.S. businesses so that they can help each other on defense conversion projects. As a first step, we have requested from our Chinese counterparts a list of their defense enterprises which are interested in joint ventures in civilian production with American companies. The Department of Commerce will use this to develop a Chinese Defense Enterprise Directory profiling enterprises engaged in defense conversion. By publicizing this list, we hope that qualified, interested U.S. businesses can identify potential partners. It’s a two-way street though. The Chinese also have experience in defense conversion going back some 15 years. And we think there are U.S. industries and companies that could benefit from cooperation with Chinese industries in trying to switch over to civilian, consumer-oriented products. Consequently, we will be providing a similar list to the Chinese. Under the umbrella of the Commission, we hope to facilitate contacts, partnerships, and investment in both directions. We know from our experience with Russia that joint ventures in defense conversion can work -- but it takes a lot of determination and patience. I am confident, however, that if we’re willing to work hard, the Commission will help each country make defense conversion as convenient and as profitable as possible. Our delegation’s time here is too short, but I already know that it’s been very well spent. Later today, I will deliver a speech on our bilateral security relationship at the People’s Liberation Army’s National Defense University. Tomorrow, I will have an opportunity to meet with top leaders of the Chinese government, including President Jiang Zemin (Jee-yahng Ze-ming). There are obstacles to be overcome in our security relationship with China. But our two countries are too large and too powerful, and the challenges we face together are too important, for us not to work very hard on improving the relationship. In the Chinese classic “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu, there is actually some pretty good advice about how to maintain peace. It says, “always remember danger when you are secure and remember chaos in times of order, watch out for danger and chaos while they are still formless and prevent them before they happen.” I hope my trip helps the governments of both our nations strive to prevent danger before it happens. Answer: Air Traffic Control is one of the areas of cooperation that the joint defense conversion commission is pursuing. This includes modernizing China's air traffic control systems and integrating them with international standards. This presents opportunities for U.S. companies with expertise in this area to partner with Chinese defense enterprises. We believe this will not only benefit U.S. companies, but also contribute to the modernization and safety of China's air traffic control systems. Answer: PLA NDU SPEECH TIME: 1000, Tuesday, Oct 15 PLACE: PLA NDU SCENARIO: After a quick welcome by PLA NDU President General Zhu Dunfa (biography next under)—who hosted LTG Cerjan in January and who has been invited to visit our NDU at an early date, SECDEF will be led to the PLA NDU auditorium for his speech. About three hundred PLA officers will be gathered to hear this 20-minute speech—45 minutes including sequential translation (our interpreter will have text, but SECDEF should pause a few sentences at a time to allow him to interpret). A 20-minute Q&A period will follow. At the end of the speech, if time permits, there will be a rapid tour of the campus. The total time spent here will be 90 minutes. OUR ISSUES: SECDEF should tell Zhu that we firmly believe in a close NDU-NDU relationship. LTG Cerjan's visit here and the visit of 5 PLA NDU scholars to attend a regional security conference in the U.S. in September were very useful and help promote- mutual understanding on regional and bilateral security issues. General Rokke is looking forward to General Zhu's visit. SECDEF speech on ""Asia-Pacific Security and the Role of U.S.-China Military Relations"" can be found next under. It will explain definitively to the PLA top ranking officers our vision of the military relationship and also serve to articulate for our domestic audience the rationale and benefits of such a military relationship. AUDIENCE ISSUES: Can the secretary explain how reduced budget mesh with new roles for the U.S. military worldwide? Does the U.S. believe that the “Soviet threat"" is gone forever? LC 4 2 4 e < Fy Ps Vy , A a ° reese DEFENSE ISSUES Vol. 9 No. 81 Remarks as delivered by Secretary of Defense William J. Perry to the People’s Liberation Army National Defense University, Beijing, China, Oct. 18, 1994. It is a great honor for me to be here and meet the leadership of the PLA [People’s Liberation Army]. The British author Graham Greene once wrote that there always comes a moment in time when a door opens and lets the future in. With the ending of the Cold War a door has opened for the Asia-Pacific region. Together, the nations of this region can work to shape that future to make it prosperous, peaceful and secure. The Asia-Pacific region today is more peaceful and more stable than at any time in this century. The rivalry of the Cold War has been washed away by a flood tide of democracy and economic progress. And throughout the region there is a sense of increased confidence and optimism about the future. The seeds of this impulse were actually sown during the Cold War, as Asian nations undertook market reforms and began building strong trade links with their neighbors and the rest of the world. The results have been extraordinary. The gross domestic product of this region essentially matches that of the United States and Europe combined. Asia now accounts for almost one-third of the gross world product. This enormous economic growth now makes the prosperity of Asia essential to the economic health of the world. And good economic relations require healthy political ties. Consequently, leaders around the globe are placing increased importance on their relations with the nations of this region. President [Bill] Clinton has done so, including convening the first-ever meeting of leaders of the region last November in Seattle, at which time he met President Jiang Zemin. The challenge facing us today is to ensure that this region’s stability and prosperity are strengthened for future generations. The United States and China share a special responsibility for making this happen. That’s why I’m here today. I want to talk to you this morning about the reasons why our security relationship is so important and about some of the most important challenges that we face. And I want to talk about the importance of building ties between our two militaries. Shared Responsibility There are four principal reasons why the United States and China share a special responsibility to secure the present and future stability of the West Pacific. The first is strategic. The size of our countries and their populations, our vast natural resources and the creative spirits of our people combine to make the United States and China key players in every aspect of the region’s economy and security. This is not an idle boast, and I The first reason why our nations have a special obligation to get along is that we have many overlapping interests. Both the United States and China regard economic progress and the eco- nomic well-being of our people as a vital national priority. And eco- nomic progress requires, above all, stability and peace. Fortunately, the economic strengths of our countries complement each other, and the forces favoring cooperation be- tween us are growing stronger all the time. The third reason our relationship is so important is the danger posed by proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. China and the United States are two of a handful of nations capable of producing both. Early this month our two govern- ments signed important agreements to control missile transfers and missile material production. This was an important step, but more needs to be done to promote global security by limiting weapons of terror and mass destruction. Restraint by China in transferring these technologies, in concert with the United States and other major powers, is vital to the success of current global nonproliferation regimes. Indeed, without the full participation of both China and the United States, no effort against proliferation can be successful. Fourth, because China and the United States play such key roles in Asia, our cooperation is essential to addressing major threats to regional stability. This won't be easy. The Cold War world was one of great danger, but it was also rigid and somewhat stable. The thaw that came with the end of the Cold War alleviated one of the greatest dangers — that of a nuclear world war. But the new world is more complex and still dangerous. Right now Asia faces many challenges and threats to its stability, challenges and threats that require Chinese-American coopera- tion. This morning I want to focus on four of those challenges. The most serious challenge is on the Korean Peninsula. There are both nuclear and political dimen- sions to this challenge. Let me consider first the nuclear dimension. If North Korea produces nuclear weapons, the peace and security of Northeast Asia will be threatened and the worldwide effort to control weapons of mass destruc- tion will be dealt a heavy blow. I have discussed this with Minister of National Defense Chi, and I believe that we have a common view on this issue. North Korea must honor its commitment to the Nonprolifera- tion Treaty and to its agreement with South Korea for a denuclear- ized Korean Peninsula. Ending Nuclear Threat Both the United States and China support a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula. Right now we are deeply engaged in discussions and dia- logue with North Korea. Just this morning I have heard that the negotiations in Geneva have produced an agreement. I am hopeful that this agreement will result in the ending of the nuclear threat from North Korea. All during these negotiations we have cooperated very closely with your government, which has been very helpful. The second dimension of the challenge is finding ways to reduce the overall tensions on the penin- sula that have plagued the Korean people and their neighbors for half a century. We are deeply interested in the long-term future of the Korean peninsula and its contribution to peace and stability in the region. And we want to work with China to ensure that peace and stability. But only the Korean people themselves can address the root causes of the tensions between them. That is why it is so important for the North and South to revive their dialogue and work toward removing military confrontation and increasing economic and human ties. Reducing Tensions in Northeast Asia also depends on other outside factors. America's security alliances and military presence in Northeast Asia, I believe, are key components of the region's stability. A keystone to security in Asia is the firm fabric of strategic ties and the military alliance between the United States and Japan. The people and the governments of Japan and the United States are committed to maintaining and strengthening the alliance to deal with the challenges of the post-Cold War world. I believe that this alliance is a force for stability. The American and South Korean security alliance is also an important force for regional peace and stability. The United States will maintain a ground and air military presence on the peninsula for as long as the Republic of Korea and the Korean people feel that it meets their security interests. The second challenge to regional security in Asia lies in South Asia. We are on the brink of a nuclear weapons race on the subcontinent, where relations between India and Pakistan have been tense for years. India and Pakistan have the right to a strong defense, but the combination of nuclear weapons and enduring tension could prove catastrophic to both countries, indeed to the entire region. As in the case with Korea, China has a huge stake in this issue since it involves nations on its border. With so much at stake it is essential that countries with influence in South Asia try to stop the potential arms race before it gathers momentum. The recent progress between the United States and China on missile technology and fissile material is a very positive step in that direction. But we must do more if we are to prevent a South Asian nuclear arms race. A third challenge we face lies in the South China Sea. This situation has been a source of tension for years, and it creates anxiety about the future. If disputed territorial claims to the Spratly islands erupt into conflict, it could be a devastating blow to regional stability and threaten sea lines of communication vital to the United States and to other countries of the world. Long-Term Solution Inflammatory statements and military deployments help keep tensions high. They also prevent the development of natural resources which might help reduce tensions. That's why I'm encouraged by the stated desire of China and Vietnam to avoid conflict. I am also encouraged by the Indonesian-led efforts to find a long-term solution to disputed territorial claims involving other nations. What is needed are permanent and peaceful solutions to these problems. The fourth regional security issue is Taiwan. Over the past 22 years, six American administrations have demonstrated America's commitment to abiding by the terms of the Taiwan Relations Act and the Three Communiques between China and the United States. Responsibility for resolving differences lies with Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. The overriding United States interest is that the resolution be peaceful and not threaten regional security. Not long ago relations across the straits reflected fierce hostility between the two sides. But today economic and cultural relations are robust and growing stronger every day. More significantly, political contacts appear to be developing at a pace that both sides are comfortable with. We welcome any progress that the two sides can agree on. Overall, military tension has been reduced, and the situation is far less volatile. This is a promising trend accomplished by the two sides, and we believe that our policies contributed to these positive developments. These policies include strict adherence to the agreements between China and the United States and include the maintenance of unofficial relations with Taiwan. This will not change. None of the challenges to Asian stability and security can be fully met without cooperation between the United States and China. Each of us has a particular kind of influence, an And each of us must use this influence appropriately. Maintaining regional stability is our cooperative task. It is also the strategic basis for our relationship. An important component of a healthy political relationship between our two countries is military-to-military ties. By building trust these ties contribute to our ability to solve regional problems. Building Trust One way that military ties build trust is by helping both sides understand each other's defense policies and strategic intentions. Both of our countries need to do better in this area. And indeed that is a major purpose for my visit here today. China is a large country with a proud, independent spirit. Your capabilities in all areas, including military areas, are growing every day. This growth, particularly in the military area, creates much speculation in Washington and in capitals throughout Asia. We welcome your assurances about the focus of your defense budget and the peaceful, defensive orientation of your modernization program. Nevertheless, it would be helpful if your defense budget and strategic planning were more open and visible to the outside world. This would contribute to stability in the Asia-Pacific region. We have nothing to fear from a better understanding of China's military capabilities and intentions. Of course, we understand that this is a two-way street. And we want you to know about United States military planning as well. I know that some in China believe that the United States regards China as a threat or at least a future threat. As secretary of defense of the United States, I can assure you that those who make these arguments do not understand American defense policy. The fact that some people believe them just highlights the need for greater openness and understanding. For all of these reasons, I am pleased that in the past year we have begun rebuilding ties between our militaries. Just last August, your deputy chief of the general staff, Gen. Xu Huizi, visited the United States. We were able to talk very frankly and productively about each other's concerns. I am convinced that our two militaries are working toward the same goals of mutual understanding, peace, and stability. We want to build military-to- military ties with China that will endure long into the future. Doing this means building a consensus and a strong foundation of domestic support in the United States. No military relationship can grow in a vacuum, and it cannot survive without a healthy political relationship. I must tell you that the idea of U.S.-China military-to-military ties has its critics in the United States, in the capitals of our allies, and, I'm sure, in China as well. That's why we must proceed cautiously and within a framework of overall progress in our relations, including difficult issues such as nonproliferation and human rights. But we must proceed. I envision a relationship that is based on mutual respect and trust, and that rests on a solid foundation of officers - like yourselves - who will lead the armed forces into the 21st century. I can assure you that your American counterparts, who also proudly wear their country's uniform, share this vision. In the past 200 years, the United States and China have met under various circumstances and for various purposes. At times we have opposed each other. At other times we have been drawn together by common interests. From the outset of his administration, President Clinton decided that our countries needed to follow the path of cooperation instead of confrontation. That is why he launched a policy of comprehensive engagement, including a resumption of the military ties which I am discussing today. And that is why he renewed most-favored-nation trading status for China, to pave the way for expanding our ties. I have strongly supported these policies. Now the challenge is to use our expanded ties for our mutual advantage and for the benefit of stability in the Asia-Pacific region. We must continue to build trust and understanding between our militaries, and work together to address regional problems and challenges. I am confident that together, the United States and China can contribute to a more stable and prosperous world. the South China Sea. In all of these discussions, we reaffirmed our mutual commitment to dialogue and cooperation to find peaceful solutions to these challenges. I am pleased to report that we have made progress on many of these issues. We have agreed to continue our dialogue on defense planning and re-structuring, and we have also agreed to establish a military-to-military hotline to enhance communication and reduce the risk of misunderstanding or miscalculation. We have also discussed ways to improve our bilateral relationship, which is essential for the stability and prosperity of the region. I want to thank my Chinese hosts for their hospitality and openness during this trip. I am confident that our discussions this week have helped to strengthen the important relationship between our two countries and will contribute to peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region. Now, I would be happy to take your questions. Thank you. t aims to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. During my trip to China, I discussed this issue with Chinese leaders and emphasized the importance of adhering to this agreement. We also discussed ways to strengthen our cooperation in preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction. While we cannot say that this issue has been completely resolved, I believe that our discussions have contributed to a better understanding and commitment to addressing this issue. The United States lifts Category II sanctions in exchange for adherence to MTCR proliferation. There was also another agreement reached to provide for a future bilateral treaty to ban the production of fissile material for nuclear weapons. I have addressed our concerns over proliferation very frankly with all of the Chinese leaders that I met, emphasizing how important the issue is to both of our countries and to the bilateral relationship. What initiatives did you propose to the Chinese military? A: I discussed with the Chinese how to improve mutual understanding and trust between our militaries. Therefore, I explored some possible next steps in the military relationship with the PLA. I can tell you that no arms sales or military technology transfer was proposed or considered. What did you accomplish at the meeting of the joint defense conversion commission? I met with the co-chairman of the commission, Minister Ding Henggao of the Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense. In this first meeting of the commission, we discussed the principles of this commission and the types of cooperation which the commission will consider pursuing. Our hope is to facilitate cooperation between Chinese defense enterprises with U.S. businesses in civilian production. We agreed on several areas of joint cooperation, including Air Traffic Control, non-polluting electric cars and an exchange of defense industry conversion managers. I must stress that this is not a military technology cooperation program. Can you tell us more about the air traffic control cooperation? China, with 30% annual growth in air traffic, faces issues similar to those the U.S. encountered during its high aviation growth period. We hope to increase coordination between the civil and military air traffic authorities and increase the use of air space for civil purposes, where appropriate. For example, an area of possible cooperation is to promote the standardization of civilian and military air traffic control equipment, so that there is seamless air traffic control between civilian and military controllers. Why are we talking defense conversion with China when we know that China wants to use this commission for technology transfer purposes and to supplement its defense budget through production of civilian goods? First, all technology transfer decisions related to the joint commission will be made through normal export-control channels, using normal procedures. There is no intention of bypassing existing tech transfer constraints. Secondly, encouraging defense conversion is in the interest of promoting peace. We will study carefully the types of facilities and the kinds of projects in any cooperation. While we do not oppose a legitimate defense budget by China, we will be watching to see if any gains—monetary or technical—from our defense conversion cooperation will be used in ways that are counter to US. interests. Why are you going to participate in WWII commemorative activities in China when we fought with the nationalist government not the communists? In China during WWII, Americans fought alongside the Chinese people irrespective of their political persuasions. I will participate in one WWII commemoration event in China in Chongqing at the Stilwell Institute. The commemoration will be for the cooperation between the Chinese and American people in WWII as part of the year-round world-wide WWII commemoration activities. DATE HOSTED BY E TIME: 1845, Tuesday, Oct 18 PLACE: Shangri-la Hotel SCENARIO: SECDEF and entire party will participate in the dinner. SECDEF and Mrs. Perry will lead Minister Chi and his wife to a side room first, before entering the dining room after 10 minutes of cordial greeting. This will be a western dinner. Soon after being seated, an informal toast should be given by SECDEF standing by his chair. Then Minister Chi will reciprocate with his informal toast. The dinner should not last longer than two hours. lk up the steps to the main entrance. On the left side of the steps is a planter (see diagram) where SECDEF will lay a wreath. The wreath will be placed on the planter and SECDEF will stand at the foot of the wreath (see diagram). The wreath will be picked up later by the Chinese and placed in the main building on a stand in a prominent place. The wreath will be brought to the site by a Chinese honor guard as part of a small ceremony. The wreath will have a small ribbon with the following words: ""In memory of General Stilwell, from William Perry, Secretary of Defense, United States of America."" After laying the wreath, SECDEF will be escorted into the main building, where he will sign the guest book and proceed to the second floor for a short meeting with the Director of the Institute, Mr. Yang. After the meeting, SECDEF will proceed to the third floor and unveil a bust of General Stilwell, which will be covered with a small silk cloth. The unveiling will occur in a small room to the right of the stairs on the third floor. The cloth will be removed by SECDEF and Mr. Yang. After the unveiling, SECDEF will present the Institute with a framed photo of General Stilwell, which will be hung in the Institute. The photo will be brought to the site by SECDEF. After the unveiling, SECDEF will proceed to the main auditorium on the third floor for the ceremony. The audience will be Chinese military and civilians, and American and Chinese media (see diagram). The ceremony will be conducted in English and Chinese and will last approximately 20 minutes. The ceremony will end with a short video of General Stilwell's life and career. After the ceremony, SECDEF will proceed to the main entrance and lay a second wreath on the other side of the steps (see diagram). This wreath will be in honor of the Chinese soldiers who fought and died with General Stilwell. The wreath will be picked up later by the Chinese and placed in the main building on a stand in a prominent place. The wreath will be brought to the site by a Chinese honor guard as part of a small ceremony. The wreath will have a small ribbon with the following words: ""In honor of the Chinese soldiers who fought and died with General Stilwell, from William Perry, Secretary of Defense, United States of America."" After the wreath laying, SECDEF will proceed to the main building and attend a small reception with the Chinese military, American and Chinese media, and the American and Chinese delegation. The reception will be held on the second floor of the main building. After the reception, SECDEF and Mrs Perry will proceed to the airport for departure to Beijing. ing our efforts to bring this treaty into force and we are committed to working with other nations to achieve this goal. - We encourage China to ratify the CTBT as soon as possible and to continue to play a responsible role in the international non-proliferation regime. - The U.S. is committed to working with China and other nations to address concerns about the treaty and to ensure its effective implementation. - We believe that the CTBT will contribute to international peace and security by preventing the development of new nuclear weapons and reducing the risk of nuclear war. - We also recognize the importance of maintaining a strong nuclear non-proliferation regime and urge China to continue to work with us towards this goal. - The U.S. and China have a shared responsibility to promote global stability and security, and we believe that the CTBT is a key part of this effort. - We look forward to continued cooperation with China on this important issue and to working together towards a world free from the threat of nuclear weapons. to gauge our commitment to a CTBT. Although we made good progress in the past year, much more remains to be done. That is why the U.S. calls on all nations participating in CTBT negotiations to redouble their efforts. We deeply regret that China conducted a nuclear weapon test on October 7. We urge China to consider further the changed circumstances of global security affecting the role of nuclear weapons, and join the other nuclear powers in bringing a moratorium on further nuclear tests. TRIP TO ASIA—OCTOBER 16-22, 1994 I. Introduction From October 16 to 22, 1994, I traveled to Asia after completing a visit to the Middle East. I spent October 16-19 in China, then I went for one day to Leyte to participate in a WWI commemoration activity, then I spent one day each in Seoul and Tokyo. The Philippines stop, although I saw President Ramos, was largely non- substantive, but I want to give you more detailed descriptions of the very important stops in China, Korea, and Japan. II. China— I was the first Secretary of Defense to visit China since former Secretary Frank Carlucci visited China in the fall of 1988. The Tiananmen incident of June 1989 had halted our robust military relationship with China, and it was only last November that we revived high level military dialogue. I met with the President, the Premier, the Vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission, the Minister of Defense, the Foreign Minister, and the Minister of the Commission on Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. I went to China with the following objectives in mind: a. To discuss regional security issues--including North Korea--with China b. To discuss military-to-military cooperation c. To discuss Chinese nuclear testing d. To discuss the human rights problem e. To discuss defense strategy and planning—i.e., transparency—with the PLA f. To discuss defense conversion cooperation by convening a joint commission Before I go into detail on my assessment of my accomplishments in each of the objective areas above, let me make very clear what I was not in China to do. I was not in China to discuss arms sales or military technology transfer. And I was not in China to discuss lifting of the Tiananmen sanctions which are still in place. I was in China just when the North Korea nuclear problem framework agreement was initialed in Geneva. I found the Chinese position very similar to ours--that there should be a denuclearized and peaceful Korean peninsula, and that a Geneva agreement which includes calling for North-South dialogue should be supported. China cautioned that the implementation of the framework agreement is going to be a long and difficult road, but it volunteered to be helpful if needed. On the proliferation issue, I was heartened to hear the Chinese commitment in principle to global non-proliferation, and the Chinese told me they wish to make foreign exchange via the commercial civilian market rather than through arms sales. We discussed some specific problems, but overall, China's willingness to pursue a dialogue with us on MTCR guidelines and parameters and China's signing of a missile agreement with us earlier in October are encouraging signs. I tried to press the Chinese on an early stoppage of nuclear testing. It is clear, however, that there is deep belief in China that for technical reasons, it must continue a few more tests. I did obtain a clear commitment from China that it will sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty in 1996, and I left feeling that perhaps there is room to get the Chinese to stop testing before 1996. We will need to pursue this further. I had an extended human rights discussion with all Chinese officials I met. I was not there to negotiate, and I did not detect any movement in Chinese positions. However, I consider it an advancement when I was able to discuss at length with the PLA leaders our concerns on human rights and how the lack of resolution of this problem will bound our ability to gauge our commitment to a CTBT. Although we made good progress in the past year, much more remains to be done. That is why the U.S. calls on all nations participating in CTBT negotiations to redouble their efforts. We deeply regret that China conducted a nuclear weapon test on October 7. We urge China to consider further the changed circumstances of global security affecting the role of nuclear weapons, and join the other nuclear powers in bringing a moratorium on further nuclear tests. TRIP TO ASIA—OCTOBER 16-22, 1994 I. Introduction From October 16 to 22, 1994, I traveled to Asia after completing a visit to the Middle East. I spent October 16-19 in China, then I went for one day to Leyte to participate in a WWI commemoration activity, then I spent one day each in Seoul and Tokyo. The Philippines stop, although I saw President Ramos, was largely non- substantive, but I want to give you more detailed descriptions of the very important stops in China, Korea, and Japan. II. China— I was the first Secretary of Defense to visit China since former Secretary Frank Carlucci visited China in the fall of 1988. The Tiananmen incident of June 1989 had halted our robust military relationship with China, and it was only last November that we revived high level military dialogue. I met with the President, the Premier, the Vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission, the Minister of Defense, the Foreign Minister, and the Minister of the Commission on Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. I went to China with the following objectives in mind: a. To discuss regional security issues--including North Korea--with China b. To discuss military-to-military cooperation c. To discuss Chinese nuclear testing d. To discuss the human rights problem e. To discuss defense strategy and planning—i.e., transparency—with the PLA f. To discuss defense conversion cooperation by convening a joint commission Before I go into detail on my assessment of my accomplishments in each of the objective areas above, let me make very clear what I was not in China to do. I was not in China to discuss arms sales or military technology transfer. And I was not in China to discuss lifting of the Tiananmen sanctions which are still in place. I was in China just when the North Korea nuclear problem framework agreement was initialed in Geneva. I found the Chinese position very similar to ours--that there should be a denuclearized and peaceful Korean peninsula, and that a Geneva agreement which includes calling for North-South dialogue should be supported. China cautioned that the implementation of the framework agreement is going to be a long and difficult road, but it volunteered to be helpful if needed. On the proliferation issue, I was heartened to hear the Chinese commitment in principle to global non-pro To expand the military relationship. I got the clear indication they understood very well that human rights is a part of our foreign policy, and that movement on this issue is essential if we are to improve our military relationship. I am somewhat encouraged by the Chinese willingness to enter into an exchange of briefings with us on each other's defense strategy and planning. This is after I explained to China that as a large power with a modernizing military, its neighbors' nervousness can only be dispelled with more transparency in China's defense planning. This initiative, by the way, was welcomed in my subsequent stops in Seoul and Tokyo. How forthcoming the PLA will be remains to be seen, but I intend to kick off this exchange by sending a high level briefing team to China in November. On defense conversion cooperation, we are beginning modestly. I agreed with my Chinese co-chairman of the Joint Defense Conversion Commission to work to convert China's military-controlled air traffic control system to civilian control. The Federal Aviation Administration will lead the U.S. effort, and if the Chinese integrate their military-to-civil conversion in this area, there would be benefits for U.S. companies hoping to enter into cooperation on air traffic control equipment with China. I want to stress that this commission will engage only in civilian cooperation. There is no intention to go down a ""slippery slope"" to military technology transfer, and all export license decisions will be made using the normal channels. The Chinese warmly received me and clearly were interested in developing our military relationship further. I agree with my PLA hosts that a good military relationship increases mutual understanding and trust and could help us resolve bilateral and multilateral security issues. The size of China, the military which is going to modernize in any case, the effect it has on not only its Asian neighbors but outcomes in other world problem areas, and the key policy role the PLA plays in China all make it prudent for us to engage in a relationship with the PLA. I believe that on this trip, I was able to make modest progress in moving the military relationship forward, and I was able to articulate to the PLA leadership our concerns in both bilateral and regional security problems. We will continue to be cautious about the military relationship, but I left China feeling optimistic about the future.",Confidential "UNCLASSIFIED AN: 0790073-0645 UNCLASSIFIED PAGE 1 WARSAW GISS2 1520242 ACTION NEA-Q7 INFQ OCT-01 1990-00 /608 & woe ncn new ennnnnnee 062266 1605082 /20. see, R 1508562 FEB 79 rr 7 an gr FH AKEMBASSY WARSAW SV Eger 2 HL TO SECSTATE WASHINGTON DC 769 Ne UNCLASSIFIED WARSAW 153 DEPARTMENT FOR NEA/INS re E.O. 22065: N/A Oo ose ASS SSD LS te en TAGS: POL SUBJECT: CONDOLENCE MESSAGE REQUEST YOU PASS FOLLOWING MESSAGE TO MRS.

Suggest some reasons why we are getting frequent sinus infections, and what should done? Hello. 1. Sinus infections (sinusitis) are swelling or inflammation of the tissue lining the sinuses. 2. Causes include a virus, bacteria, fungus, allergies, polyps, tooth infections. 3. Blockage of the nose, especially if you are allergic or having nasal polyps makes you prone to have frequent sinusitis. Plus, congenital illness or weak immunity also puts at risk for sinus infections more often than healthy patients. Prevention consists of keeping nasal pathways clean, stay well hydrated, avoid dry air places. You can use air humidifiers to moisten the air. Eat healthily, get enough sleep, and exercise more.",Confidential "My son is almost 3 years old-he has been vomiting on and off for a little over 2 weeks. Occasional diarrhea-every other day-he was usually very active-the last day or 2 seems more tired than usual. We took him his pediatrician today and he said it was a virus-he coughs right before he vomits-I was thinking post nasal drip. Isn't too long to be a virus? What are your thoughts? No fever. Sometimes, viruses take a longer time to clear. However, to be sure, you should do his stool exam and his blood counts so that, if needed, he can be started on antibiotics. Post-nasal drip is unlikely in a three-year old child. The more likely cause of his cough are adenoids.",Confidential "Qwest Note Steve, Make sure that we circulate a DASH on the disposition of the QWEST note which we discussed on Friday.

Mostly it's been a tolerable spotting, for the past week I have been on a heavy period which is becoming lighter. Although I've had clots throughout the periods today I have seen a somewhat large size the length of a small tampon. Should I be worried? I have also been becoming lightheaded when I get up from laying down or sitting down in my own mind I think this is maybe anaemia? Hello,Welcome to Healthcaremagic.Yes you may have anemia.But this needs either iron tablets or injection depends on your hemoglobin level in blood.Regarding your spotting and heavier bleeding, It is very common with Mirena IUD for initial 3 to 6 months.Thus your body needs adjustment for the Mirena IUD.After these 3 to 6 months, your body may adjust and your periods may resume to normal.So you do not need to worry too much about this. If you are my patient, I will prescribe iron tablets for 2 months after checking the hemoglobin concentration in blood. I ask you wait for 3 more months and review.Hope this helps.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

So I did a root canal on it. The second sitting was done before a week. I started to have pressure on the tooth after two days. I consulted the dentist, and he told me that the seal has got broken. The doctor said to me that the tooth should be pain-free for a weekend to have a fixing over it. But, I had more pain than before doing a root canal. The pain was terrible.

You have an infection still lingering in your tooth undergoing root canal treatment. It causes pain. Your dentist should place a calcium hydroxide dressing in the tooth, and it disinfects the canals. A course of antibiotics should be given. Also, the tooth should be trimmed to avoid contact with opposite jaw tooth. If the pain does not get better, get an X-ray done and upload it to me.

I have had two different diagnosis - pneumonia then asthma. After two months I am getting worse rather than better. Question: Any possibility the non use of CPAP could have caused a lung fungus? Yes there is a high chance that as the CPAP was not used for the 3 weeks you were away, it built up fungus in the mask due to the humidity.And as you must have used it later without washing it properly, it can lead to the fungal infection.However not necessary that it is a fungal infection, it can be a bacterial infection also.

I immediately had swelling the size of a golf ball and bruising. The swelling has gone down slightly within the week but now the pain has come back with a vengeance over night. Is this normal? Hello, You are right. The pain is due to the injury you had playing soccer as there are very much skin and fascia covering over the shin region the injury must have not healed. as you mentioned the swelling came down with a weak but the tissue healing is a little slow. This is common and need not worry as this is normal. You can do quick icing and that should take care of the pain. Slowly start doing the ankle toe movements and static quadriceps and static hamstring exercise so the muscles become stronger and the pain doesn't come back.

Now i have bumps around and in my anus, a fever, headache, nausea, chills, and my bum hurts so much I can barely move, sit, or lay on my back. Do I most likely have herpes now? Hello Miss,Welcome to Health Care Magic. I have gone through your query and I understand your concern. The possibility that you may be infected with Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) is very high. You also mentioned that you had also a little fissure on your anus, and it could also be the site of entering various bacteria and infect you. In order to give a definite diagnose, you have to visit your local physician, who may order cultures (blood, tissue, and fluid samples) of the sores and send them to a laboratory for examination. Your doctor can typically diagnose a herpes infection by a visual examination of the herpes sores. Although they are not always necessary, your doctor may confirm his or her diagnosis through a laboratory test.Genital herpes is not the only condition that can produce these symptoms. Sometimes, HSV is mistaken for vaginal yeast infections, bacterial infections, or bladder infections. The only way to know whether they are the result of HSV or another condition is to be checked by a health care provider.Hope I answered your question. If you have other question, don't hesitate to ask again.Take Care,Dr. Ina Zaimi",Confidential "my son is 34 yrs old and obese(about 300lbs) and now his blood work shows elevated liver enzymes as well as a gallbladdder number that is not normal. his tryc.,his sugar,his colesterol are all high. what can he do quickly to get on the right track. the dr is doing a 2nd blood test to make sure the first one was correct.he is already on blood pressure pills,including fluid pills.

I just had my 11 month old daughter get a CBC to check if there is even a slight possibility that she has leukemia. I am very concerned about leukemia happening again in our family because my baby sister died of it more than 20 years. We sent to the hospital because I saw 3 small ""bruises"" on her leg a week ago. They were pale brown, not the red-bluish bruise you get from a you get hit hard by something. My daughter started to walk a month ago and does not seem to mind falling and hurting herself just to reach what she wants grab. The bruises could have just been from her walking or crawling. She has no fever. Her appetite is good; no weight loss; no signs of weakness. But we were still worried.From her CBC: RBC was normal (4.86 x 10^12/L), platelet was ""adequate"", but WBC elevated (14 x 10^9/L). I believe that should be about 14,000/ cubic mm. Blood morphology said ""Smear shows slightly hypochromic, microcytic red blood cells. Platelets are adequate"".Should I be worried? I do not want to subject my daughter to a battery of tests for a witch hunt for leukemia. Thanks. Hi and welcome to HCm. It is good to be caotious about childs health but hypochondria wont be helpful for you and her either. Blood work is normal,slightly raised WBC means nothing or some healed respratory infection.

The merger probability is derived from a two scenario test, merger closure or merger non closure (there is also a competing offer scenario in reality). Let's use a closing DYN price of $46.20 yesterday (note I had a typo), at the exchange ratio, (not taking into account timing and dividends), this yields a merged ENE price of $12.40 ($46.20 * .2685). ENE closed at $10.00 yesterday. Thus if the market thought there was complete certainty of merger, the prices would converge at $12.40. Now comes the artful part, the non merger ENE price. I included another tab (Merger) to sensitize this. Say we pick an ENE price with no merger of $4.00. Looking at a deterministic probability, one can look at the distance (difference) in dollars to calculate the probability. For instance: ENE merged 12.40 ENE close 14-Nov 10.00 ENE no merger 4.00 Probability of merger = (1-((12.40-10.00) / (12.40 - 4.00))) or 71.4%. Said another way, there is a 71.4% chance of being worth $12.40 and a 28.6% chance of being worth $4.00, which yields a weighted price of $10.00 ($12.40 * 71.4%)+($4.00 * 28.6%). I also included a $1 distressed ENE price and a $7 previously observed low end ENE price as scenarios. Regards,",Public "I recently had a CT Scan and prior blood work.

If so, this would make possible an early decision to normalize relations with the United States, and it could lead to a change in China's hard-line policies toward the Soviet Union and Indochina. There are risks, however, in the current situation, which we must be careful not to underestimate. First, there is the possibility that the radicals will not go quietly and that Hua will be unable to consolidate his position. In this event, the outcome would be uncertain, but there would be some prospect of continuation of the current policy of attempting to use the radicals to block a move toward normalization with the United States. Second, there is the possibility that the new leadership, once it has consolidated its position, will seek to play down the importance of its move toward the United States, either by denying that it has taken place or by arguing that it is merely a tactical maneuver. This would be a setback to our efforts to normalize relations with China, but it would not necessarily mean that the new leadership was not prepared to move toward normalization. Third, there is the possibility that the new leadership will be unable to consolidate its position and that there will be a period of confusion and instability that could last for several months. In this event, the new leadership would be unlikely to move toward normalization with the United States until it had consolidated its position. Finally, there is the possibility that the new leadership will be unable to control the radicals and that there will be widespread violence and chaos. In this event, the prospects for normalization with the United States would be remote, and we would have to consider the possibility that China might adopt a more hostile stance toward the United States. In conclusion, while the situation in China is still fluid, the developments to date suggest that there has been a coup by Hua Kuo-feng against the radicals in China's leadership. If this is the case, it could lead to a consolidation of China's leadership and an early decision to normalize relations with the United States. However, there are risks involved in the current situation, and we must be prepared for various contingencies. Radicals has not affected the PRC's anti-Soviet orientation but may improve prospects for further positive steps in US-PRC relations. These indicators include: -- Chiao's UN speech, which stressed the continuity of China's foreign policy in the post-Mao era but was more explicit than last year's in its treatment of the US as a lesser threat than the USSR. -~- The abandonment of the tough language on Taiwan first used by Chang Chun-chiao with Senator Scott in July this year. The ""noose around the neck"" analogy has not been used since Vice Foreign Minister Wang Hai-jung's meeting with the Congressional Staff Delegation in late July. Chiao Kuan-hua reverted to a standard non-bellicose line on Taiwan during his meetings with Schlesinger on September 6-7, and Vice Premier Li Hsien-nien told Senator Mansfield October 9 in discussing Taiwan that ""patience is possible... we have time enough."" -- A news program on Peking TV October 9, which ran a film concerning Chenpao Island (the scene of bloody battles with the USSR in 1969) was immediately followed by a clip of ""American friends in the US mourning Chairman Mao."" A Chinese official specifically drew the attention of a visiting British group to this program the next day. These indicators are consistent with the view that the purge of radical elements will make China's leadership less inclined to use tough talk to maintain pressure on the US over the Taiwan issue. Obviously we must wait for further developments to give us a clearer picture of what is happening in Peking. In the meantime, we should continue to avoid any comments by USG officials. We should also be looking for ways to signal our continued interest in improving Sino-US relations. The CDC decision is conveniently timed in this regard. SECRET NOTE: The foregoing is predicated on the successful moves of the moderates to quell opposition (or coup attempts) by radicals. There is another scenario that would flow from somewhat different events and different interpretations; that is, if radical elements are not peacefully contained, and if sustained dissidence emerges. There may be little point in examining a contingency that has not yet arisen. However, some of us are dismayed at the re-emergence of an anarchic and disruptive political style reminiscent of the Lin Piao affair of 1971 and other previous purges of high-level figures. We will be looking for signs that this outwardly mature and homogenous communist system is now producing political behavior that is destructive to overall PRC goals and that has its roots in personal ambitions.

The majority of these have been released after a few hours or days. The military authorities have also individuals. Despite the frequent statements of intent to turn over the processing of civilians to civil courts for political violations, the creation of three more military tribunals seems to be in direct contradiction to Prime Minister Marcos' June 12 address to the National Assembly, when he announced that the military tribunals would now be phased out. Perhaps most serious have been the continuing reports of torture. The Government has in the past year relaxed some aspects of martial law, released some political detainees, resumed a dialogue with the opposition, and on June 12 established the long-awaited interim National Assembly. The overwhelming majority of the Assembly's members, however, can be assumed to be pro-Marcos, and the Government, to ensure this, indulged in massive fraud to prevent any of the Aquino-led opposition slate from winning in Metro Manila. The Assembly's value as a firm step in returning to democratic government is questionable. It has no independent legislative authority and its activities constitute no check on Marcos' power. The press, which is now owned by supporters of Marcos, prints a limited range of opinions; recent reports do indicate, though, that Marcos is prepared to see the establishment of an opposition paper. There have been periodic releases of detainees, the most recent in May and June 1978. Although the Government announced the release of over 2,000, a substantial majority of those affected by the directives previously had been released. Many appear to be common criminals or Filipino Muslims picked up in counterinsurgency sweeps in the Southern Philippines. Few of the 2,000 were ""political prisoners."" Of the 40 to 50 who were listed as released and the 28 listed as amnestied, none was in detention at the time of the announcements. Forty-three other ""political prisoners"" not on the lists, however, are believed to have been released since June 9. President Marcos announced that all but 300 ""hard core"" cases would eventually be released, but similar statements have been made in the past without significant follow-up. No valid figure on the number of political prisoners in custody can be developed until the Government makes available the names and locations of all prisoners held. These examples indicate the continuing depth of some human rights problems in the Philippines. The amnesties and dropping of charges against the post-election demonstrators comes after a series of strong diplomatic representations. Perhaps equally important, they come after a period in which the United States also indicated its concerns by abstention votes in the international financial institutions, disapprovals of some licenses directed to the police, and a delay in the submission of a larger arms transfer. The Government's record of dealing with the economic human rights of the Filipinos has been substantially better. Corruption does persist, and the old oligarchy has been substantially replaced by the new. Notwithstanding these traditional patterns, the Philippine Government is among the developing countries most concerned with the improvement of the economic well-being of its people. According to AID, the GOP is among the best worldwide in identifying, designing, and implementing projects to improve the welfare of the mass of its citizens, while a major land reform program has affected holdings down to 15-20 hectares. U.S. ACTIONS CONCERNING HUMAN RIGHTS --Continuing to represent to Marcos the concern of American citizens and Congress over human rights violations in the Philippines, which could result in less generous assistance to the Philippines. --Where the rights of American citizens or their relatives (a significant number as a result of the historical relationship with the U.S.) are concerned, acting quickly to offer consular assistance or inquiry. --Exercising approved 6.

FY 80, budget planning PROJECT PAPER Philippines Fisheries Development $6.5 million - Loan Asian Development Bank September The project has been accorded high priority by the government under the Laguna de Bay Development Program. The main objectives of the project are: to develop the lake fishery through fish pen and cage culture; to increase milkfish and tilapia production to meet the growing demand for fish in metropolitan Manila and its surrounding areas; and to help small scale fishermen of the Laguna Bay region improve their socio-economic condition. The project is designed to provide direct benefits to an estimated number of 1,550 fishermen families in the project area, enabling them to become self-owner operators of fish pen modules and to increase their average annual income from about $675 at present to about $2,500-$5,650 depending on the size of fish pen modules. In addition, the project will also provide job opportunities for about 150 workers in hatcheries and the project office. Under the project, a total area of 2,500 hectares will be developed into fish pen modules to be constructed in three sizes - 2.5 ha, 5 ha, and 10 ha - and to be operated by about 2, 3, and 5 family units respectively. This development will be supported and complemented through the construction of a hatchery and nursery complex, and the provision of transportation facilities and ancillary equipment. Consulting services will also be provided mainly to assist in project implementation. The total annual fish production under the project is estimated to be about 16,000 m.t., consisting of milkfish and tilapia in a ratio of 3 to 2, respectively. Implementation of the project is estimated to be completed in four years from the date of effectiveness of the proposed project. The project will be executed by two agencies; namely, the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) and the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP). LLDA will be responsible for all technical aspects of the project, mainly involving supervising fish pen and cage construction, producing and distributing fingerlings, providing extension services, and assisting in marketing of the produce. In addition, LLDA will also assist DBP in selecting sub-borrowers. DBP will act as a financing intermediary responsible for evaluating and approving sub-loan applications, and administering sub-loans and special savings accounts of sub-borrowers. In June 1978, the LLDA undertook a socio-economic study of fishermen in 14 municipalities out of a total of 44 municipalities in the Laguna Bay region. These 14 municipalities are mainly related to the project area. At present, there are about 4,240 fishermen families, having a total number of about 25,440 persons living in the project area. Out of these, 4,750 are active fishermen, of which 3,100 are full-time, 1,270 as part-time, and the remaining 380 as occasional fishermen. The average fisherman family's income is estimated at $675 annually. About 57 percent of the fishermen families earn an annual average income below $675, 26 percent between $675 to $1,225, and about 17 percent above $1,225. The target group of beneficiaries under the project are fishermen belonging to the lowest income level of the Laguna Bay region. To this effect, one of the eligibility criteria for the selection of sub-borrowers will be that the annual income of each sub-borrower should not exceed about $675. $1,225 in principle. Ifa August 3, 1978 ""PROJECT PAPER Philippines Security National Bank $1.0 million OPIC OPIC proposes to insure against political risk an investment of $1.0 million by Security National Bank in a branch bank operation in the Philippines. The investor will purchase $1.0 million of Philippine Central Bank Certificates of Deposit, which will represent part of the normal foreign currency cash reserves of the Philippine Central Bank, but will be only .06% of the current foreign exchange holdings of the GOP. OPIC does not consider this project to be of significant direct or indirect benefit to the host government. PROJECT PAPER Philippines Second Agusan River Irrigation $13,500,000 - Loan Asian Development Bank September The project is designed to provide economic and health benefits to about 40,000 persons (farm owner/operators and tenants) who live along the Agusan River in Mindanao, one of the poorest regions in the Philippines. About 61 percent of the residents of these project sites are owner/operators who own about 66 percent of the land. The remaining are tenants and lease holders. Currently the average income per hectare in the area is $250. The average family holdings consist of a little more than 1 ha. Under the project incomes are expected to increase to about $250 per ha. The project includes three major elements: irrigation infrastructure for rice cultivation, deep well construction for potable water, and construction of health stations to serve all the people in the project area. Under project conditions, rice cultivation is expected to yield two crops per year for a total annual production of 8.5 metric tons per hectare. Currently 95 percent of the land area is rainfed and yields only one crop per year. Based on the prevailing production figures in the area, full development of the project is expected to yield $7 million per annum in incremental sales. The rural water supply for the project consists of the construction of an additional 75 wells, bringing the total number of wells in the project area to 115, which will serve 100 percent of the population. Currently 40 percent of the population has use of water from the existing 44 wells. The health element of the project includes construction of seven additional barangay health stations in the project area. About 25 percent of the people now receive benefits from the existing two health centers. The additional health stations will provide health benefits to 100 percent of the population. In addition to direct treatment for cases of schistosomiasis, the project will finance the construction of drains, footpaths, and bridges to obviate the need for walking in infested waters.

It was subsequently decided to approve the licenses for the armed infantry fighting vehicles and the patrol boats, and to deny the licenses for the two applications for small arms ammunition manufacturing equipment.",Confidential "Hi I m 27,male experiencing frank hematuria for the last 7 years .i have done all the exams possible .but no unswers.im really worried because I can never know if the blood would come after the intercorse .and it never comes after masturbation .always after penetration.never with the ejaculation .its a lot of blood with big dry pieces.that hurt when comes of...my life is n stand by .no relationships and no plans for the future ...please help Hi,Thanks for writing in.Treatment of frank hematuria is based on the cause for it.This might include, for instance, taking antibiotics to clear a urinary tract infection, trying a prescription medication to shrink an enlarged prostate, or shock wave therapy to break up bladder or kidney stones. If there is any problem with prostate and urethra like a stricture then that must be treated first.It is important to get imaging investigations like ultrasound scan and CT scan of the abdomen to know the origin of hematuria. There might be a stone anywhere from the kidney to urinary bladder causing the hematuria. It can also be caused due to any growth in the urinary tract or bladder. This should be investigated quickly and treated if present.If the underlying condition isn't serious, no treatment is necessary.",Confidential "My tooth feels loose at the bottom. I got up this morning and brushed my teeth and when I ran my toungue on the bottom row, one of them felt sharp on the bottom. I've noticed it before, and just recently went to the dentist and forgot to mention it, but he didn't notice it either. it feels worse today. Is it going to fall out. I have pretty straight teeth its jst the four bottom that aren't. Hello,I assume you are concerned with the tongue side of your lower front near the gum tissue? You may have some recession and root exposure. This area can accumulate tartar quickly. This can be sharp or break off, leaving a rough edge. If your entire tooth feels loose or mobile, then I suspect bone loss. You should consider X-rays of this area and a periodontal evaluation. If you just had a routine exam and cleaning, you should contact your dentist and inquire about your periodontal health.if your teeth are sharp and chipping at the biting edge, then you may grind your teeth at night. This stress can damage enamel and the ligament holding the teeth in bone. Teeth can move with pressure. A night guard to protect your teeth is a suggestion. Have you had recent changes in the position of your lower teeth? Both grinding teeth and bone loss can cause this to occur.More details and a clinical exam would be helpful to further evaluate your dental condition. I am glad to answer additional questions.

I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out heart related diseases because left sided chest discomfort is commonly seen with heart diseases. So get done ecg and 2d echo. If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases. Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of chest pressure and left sided chest pain. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs too. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health.

IN THE NEAR FUTURE. MEPs' REACTION WAS GENERALLY FAVORABLE, ALTHOUGH SOME QUESTIONED WHETHER IT WAS CLOSELY LINKED TO THAT OF THE U.S. THE GENERAL CONSENSUS WAS THAT EUROPE SHOULD DEVELOP ITS OWN POLICY WHICH PURSUES DÉTENTE BUT MAKES CLEAR TO THE SOVIETS THAT THE PRESENT BREAK RESTS ON THEIR SHOULDERS. THE MEETING BROUGHT OUT EURO-MEPs' FRUSTRATION OVER THE COMMUNITY'S LIMITED CAPACITY TO ACT AS A COMMUNITY. END SUMMARY. 2. IN A FORCEFUL STATEMENT TO THE EP'S POLITICAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE IN BRUSSELS JANUARY 31, EC COMMISSION PRESIDENT JENKINS REVIEWED THE STEPS TAKEN BY THE EC IN RESPONSE TO THE SOVIET INVASION OF AFGHANISTAN. JENKINS REMINDED THE EURO-MEPS THAT UNLIKE THE US-USSR GRAIN ACCORD, THE EC DOES NOT HAVE A BILATERAL AGREEMENT WHICH CAN SERVE AS A BENCHMARK. EC EXPORTS, HE SAID, INCLUDE SEVERAL DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS WHOSE VOLUME HAS VARIED GREATLY IN RECENT YEARS. HE FURTHER NOTED THAT THE COMMISSION HAS THE NECESSARY INSTRUMENTS TO MONITOR EC EXPORTS TO THE SOVIET UNION AND TO KEEP THEM WITHIN LIMITS. THESE ""ADMINISTRATIVE MEASURES WILL BE KEPT UNDER REVIEW AND ADAPTED AS THE SITUATION EVOLVES,"" HE SAID. ""WE WILL NOT EXPORT AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS TO THE USSR WHILE AFGHANISTAN IS UNRESOLVED. EC EXPORTS OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS TO THE USSR WILL NOT EXCEED WHAT WE JUDGE TO BE TRADITIONAL QUANTITIES. IN NO CASE WILL THERE BE LARGE EXPORT DEALS AT SPECIAL PRICES OF THE TYPE WHICH HAPPENED BETWEEN THE US AND THE USSR IN THE PAST. OUR EXPORT POLICY TOWARD THE USSR WILL BE EXTENDED. JENKINS FURTHER STRESSED THAT THE US ""NATURALLY LOOKS TO THE EC FOR POLITICAL, MORAL AND PRACTICAL SUPPORT."" HE URGED THAT ""WHILE SHARING THE VIEW OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE USSR'S ACTION, THE EC NEVERTHELESS HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT POLICY OF VIEW WHEN IT COMES TO THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF SOME ASPECTS OF OUR POLICY.""

Enders Wimbush Alex Alexiev January 1981 N-1634/1 SANTA MONICA, CA, 90406 This study is one of a planned series addressing the importance of the ethnic factor in the Soviet armed forces. The parent project, ""The Implications of Demographic Change for Soviet Defense Policies,"" was directed by S. Enders Wimbush. Publications under the project to date include The Ethnic Factor in the Soviet Armed Forces: Preliminary Findings, by S. Enders Wimbush and Alex Alexiev, N-1486/1, April 1980, and Historic Overview, by Dmitry Ponomareff and Susan Curran, R-2640/1 (forthcoming). Planned publications include a study of current demographic trends in the USSR with a projection of the numbers of draft-eligible males by nationality to 1995, and one or more studies dealing with the options available to Soviet military manpower planners for future manpower use in conditions of rapid demographic change. The present Note draws upon ongoing research to examine the circumstances surrounding the appearance and use of Soviet Central Asian soldiers in Afghanistan during and following the Soviet invasion of that country in December 1979. Information for the analysis derives exclusively from interviews with former Soviet servicemen who were asked about territorial, functional, and operational aspects of stationing policies and practices for non-Russian servicemen in the Soviet armed forces, and from personal reports to the authors from eyewitnesses to the Soviet invasion. The authors intend this study to be useful to intelligence and manpower analysts generally, especially those interested in Soviet military manpower capabilities and practices, and to military analysts concerned with specific aspects of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. SUMMARY Published reports about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979 paint a confusing picture regarding the presence and function of Soviet Central Asian soldiers in the invasion force. For the most part, these reports suggest that Soviet political and military leaders have broken with historical precedent by using soldiers from minority groups who are ethnically, culturally, religiously, and linguistically similar to the populations being invaded. Based on extensive in-depth interviews with former Soviet servicemen of different nationalities, this study concentrates on current territorial, unit, and functional stationing policies and practices, and on weapons and unit training procedures for Central Asians in the Soviet armed forces to challenge this assumption. It concludes that, indeed, many Soviet Central Asians are likely to have served in Afghanistan but in non-combat roles, and that, with few exceptions, these troops probably were never intended to engage the Afghan rebels except incidentally. The great majority were assigned to construction, support, and occupation units that were highly visible to foreign correspondents and diplomats, who may have been unable to distinguish between combat and construction troops and between soldiers of different nationalities who are racially similar. In addition, we believe that some of the Soviet Central Asian soldiers in Afghanistan belong to Soviet Internal Security Forces (MVD) and to special airborne units which, according to our research, can contain Central Asians. While Central Asian troops probably were not intended to engage in combat with the Afghan rebels, Soviet leaders may have believed that the ethnic affinities between Soviet Central Asian troops and the Afghan populations would blunt the political impact of the violent invasion. This public relations effort appears to have failed; Soviet Central Asian troops reportedly engaged in widespread fraternization with the Afghan peoples. Primarily for this reason, Central Asians were replaced by Slavic troops beginning in late February 1980, although a few still remain in Afghanistan. us the task of examining the extent of this participation and its implications for the future. -vii- PREFACE This study was conducted as part of a larger research project on the Soviet Union's military strategy and operational art. In particular, the project examines the role of Soviet nationalities in the military and the implications of this role for Soviet military operations. The study on Soviet Central Asian soldiers in Afghanistan was undertaken to provide insight into the Soviet Union's use of ethnic minorities in its military operations. The analysis of this case study will contribute to a better understanding of Soviet military strategy and the role of ethnic factors in warfare. The study is based on a wide range of sources, including Soviet propaganda, memoirs, and official documents. The research also draws heavily on interviews with Soviet veterans of the Afghanistan war and other experts on the subject. The findings and conclusions presented here are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the RAND Corporation or its research sponsors. SUMMARY Section I provides an introduction to the study, discussing the importance of the ethnic factor in warfare and the specific ethnic dilemma faced by Soviet leaders in conducting military operations across their borders. Section II examines the participation of Soviet Central Asian soldiers in the invasion of Afghanistan. It discusses the motivations for their participation and the extent to which they were involved in the conflict. Section III presents the current RAND research on Soviet military strategy and the role of nationalities in the military. It discusses the implications of the findings for the Soviet military and the potential impact on future conflicts.

The term ""Slav"" is meant to include the major Slavic groups of the USSR (Great Russians, Ukrainians, and Belorussians), with the exception of the Western Ukrainians, who, our research indicates, are subjected to the same kinds of prohibitions and restrictions in military service as Soviet Asian minorities. -4- II. SOVIET CENTRAL ASIAN SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN — Despite confusion and contradiction (noted below) in the reports of journalists and travelers who witnessed the opening rounds of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979, evidence now is ample to show that the initial Soviet invasion force contained a significant number of Soviet Central Asian soldiers. The use of Soviet non-Russian soldiers in situations where these soldiers have ethnic, linguistic, cultural, or religious ties to the population under attack apparently is a departure from established Soviet political-military practice. Soviet authorities seldom if ever have used non-Russian soldiers to project Soviet power and influence in situations where the natural rapport between non- Russian soldiers and local populations was likely. Sizable concentrations of Soviet Central Asian soldiers in Afghanistan suggest that Soviet leaders may view Soviet minority nationalities as a new weapon in the Soviet military arsenal, a weapon which is all the more difficult to combat because essentially it is a political weapon. If so, the use of Soviet Central Asians in Afghanistan could set a precedent for the use of other Soviet non- Russian nationalities in actions against other foreign populations who are ethnically similar; for example, the use of Moldavians in Romania, Azeri Turks and Turkmen in Turkmenistan, Uighurs and Kazakhs in China, and others. Presumably, in the view of Soviet political and military leaders, such affinities as those of Soviet Central Asian soldiers to various parts of the Afghan population could dramatize the common bonds of the invader and his victim, thereby reducing opposition to a rapid and total Soviet takeover. -5- If this presumption is true, the importance of this departure from established practice should not be underestimated. Prior to recent thrusts into Afghanistan, Soviet practice regarding the use of Soviet non-Russians as pointmen for projecting Soviet power or as surrogates for Russian soldiers largely eschewed this option for other than symbolic reasons, such as stationing non-Russians in Soviet embassies and other highly visible assignments to give credibility to the notion of equality among Soviet nations and ""friendship of peoples."" This practice dates from the inception of Soviet power in 1917. At that time, Lenin and his Bolsheviks routinely opposed demands by dynamic Soviet Muslim leaders--who were professed Marxists and revolutionaries--to take advantage of the inherent similarities of Soviet Muslims and the populations of Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and western China to form a ""springboard for revolution"" in the East. Thus, Soviet Azeri Turks were prohibited from carrying the revolution to Iranian Azerbaijan, as were Uzbeks and Tajiks into Afghanistan and Kazakhs into Xinjiang. Soviet non-Russians and especially the Soviet Turkic-Muslim peoples were purposely kept at home for reasons the Bolshevik leadership never bothered to explain. [1] Similarly, during World War II most of the Turkic-Muslim soldiers mobilized during the defensive beginnings of the fight against Germany were removed or not replaced from the front line once the Soviet army [1] This policy is described in detail in Chapter 3 of Alexandre A. Bennigsen and S. Enders Wimbush, ""Muslim National Communism in the Soviet Union: A Revolutionary Strategy for the Colonial World?"" (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1979). S. Enders Wimbush, Muslim National Communism in the Soviet Union: A Revolutionary Strategy for the Colonial World, Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1979. -6- assumed the offensive. This and the deportation of entire peoples from the North Caucasus to Siberia and to Central Asia (allegedly for collaborating with the Germans) suggest that the Kremlin doubted the loyalty of these peoples, a view that was strengthened by the defection of several hundred thousand Soviet Muslims to the Germans. The abolition of national military units of soldiers made up almost exclusively of Soviet minority people in the 1950s underlines these doubts. Little evidence has been found to indicate that Soviet authorities have attempted to use their minorities to further Soviet political or military aims across borders in situations where such use would appear to be advantageous. For example, Soviet Azeri Turks were not used in any systematic fashion--and some specialists believe that they were not used at all--to further Soviet goals in Iranian Azerbaijan in late 1946 when Soviet authorities supported the Azerbaijan independence movement there as a means of exacting concessions from the Iranian government. Nor is there evidence to indicate that in their long relationship with Egypt and other Arab clients in the 1950s and 1960s, Soviet leaders approved of employing Soviet Muslim cadres, for other than symbolic reasons, who would have a more natural rapport with the Muslim Egyptians. According to one report, Khrushchev summarily rejected a request by President Nasser of Egypt to send Soviet Muslim pilots to fight there. In a more recent example of Soviet sensitivity to the potential infection of Central Asian Muslims by outside sources, Soviet leaders rejected requests by Libya's Colonel Khadafi--and, it is rumored, by Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini--to establish a diplomatic mission in Tashkent. Beginning in 1978, Soviet leaders apparently modified their reluctance to use Soviet Central Asians as part of a political-military strategy. In fact, the Soviet Central Asian penetration of Afghanistan began sometime before Soviet troops crossed the border. Following Nur Mohammad Taraki's ascent to power with Soviet assistance in April 1978, a considerable number of non-military Soviet Central Asians were sent to Afghanistan--as interpreters and technicians--to service the new round of USSR-Afghanistan contracts initiated at that time. In addition, Soviet Central Asians moved into critical sectors of the Afghanistan bureaucracy, the universities and institutes, and into other positions where they could deal with key political, social, economic, and cultural issues in Afghan society, including the development of nationality policy. This influx of Soviet Central Asians as bureaucratic cadre II. CURRENT RAND RESEARCH Current Rand research examining the impact of the ethnic factor on Soviet military policies may help clarify these issues and others. This research relies primarily on in-depth interviews with former Soviet servicemen, most of whom served in some branch of the Soviet military within the past ten years. Our analysis pays particular attention to territorial, branch, and functional stationing patterns for non-Russian soldiers. Thus, we are able to address with some confidence the nature of Soviet Central Asian military involvement in Afghanistan prior to the 1979 invasion. participation in Afghanistan based on our understanding, derived from interviews of current Soviet military policy and practices. Results of our research that bear on the question of Soviet Central Asian soldiers in Afghanistan may be summarized as follows. Except where noted, our interviewees unanimously identified these practices. © The overwhelming majority of Soviet Central Asians who serve in the Soviet armed forces are carefully and purposely segregated into non-combat construction units; those few who are conscripted to combat units usually serve in support roles. © Soviet Central Asians who serve in construction units receive only the most rudimentary military training, usually no more than one or two hours of rifle training, and often no individual or unit military training whatsoever. o Elite military units such as the Strategic Rocket Forces, the Air Force, and to a lesser extent the Soviet Navy are drawn almost exclusively from the Slavic population, and of this population mostly from Russians. o Internal Security Forces (MVD) are composed of a large number, probably an overall majority, of Soviet Central Asians who do receive extensive military training. (Although unanimous in this view, fewer interviewees had knowledge of the MVD.) o By design, the Soviet military currently has no national military combat units in which the majority would be recruited from one or several related ethnic groups. o With the exception of construction units, stationing generally is based on the principle of extraterritoriality; that is, of stationing non-Russians in national regions of the USSR other than their own. Our research indicates that the large majority of Soviet Central Asians serve in non-combat construction battalions, and only a very few in combat units.[1] To illustrate, construction battalions (each service has its own construction battalions with the Ground Forces possessing the most) routinely contain Central Asian and Caucasian soldiers, up to 80 to 90 percent. An average Soviet Ground Forces combat unit will contain up to 20 percent non-Slavs from all parts of the USSR of whom less than 10 percent are likely to be Central Asians. [1] According to our findings, Soviet authorities privately justify this segregation for a number of reasons, including the relatively low educational level of Central Asians compared with Russians despite an equivalent number of years of formal schooling, marginal ability and unwillingness by Central Asians to use the Russian language, frequent instances of conflict--often violent--between Central Asian soldiers and others (especially Russians), and, as noted, the question of loyalty of Central Asian troops. In addition, our research indicates that Soviet Central Asians serving in any capacity in the Soviet armed forces (with exceptions noted below) are unlikely to have received sufficient military training to qualify them for a combat role in Afghanistan. Soviet Central Asians who serve in combat units usually are confined to support duties, such as working in kitchens, warehouses, and barracks. If they receive regular combat training, the extent to which they are meant to be integrated into normal combat procedures is unclear from our research, but there is a strong suggestion that they are meant to be excluded from normal military operations. Central Asians who serve in construction battalions for the most part receive only marginal military training-- sometimes only a few hours with a rifle and in many cases no military training at all. Nearly all of the Soviet divisions identified in Afghanistan originated from the Central Asian and Turkestan Military Districts.[2] Of these, only a few probably were combat ready (category I), while the others relied upon a last-minute call-up of reserves from the local population to bring them to complement. Thus, the units containing Central Asians sent to Afghanistan were of two types: combat units of low-readiness from the Central Asian and Turkestan Military Districts, and construction battalions from various parts of the USSR. iness divisions and available construction units. In both cases, it is doubtful that the soldiers in these units had received at any time during their obligatory terms of service more than marginal weapons and combat training. Because of this, we believe that neither the recently filled out combat units with extraordinary concentrations [2] Colonel Jerome J. Haggerty, ""Afghanistan--The Great Game,"" Military Review, August 1980, pp. 39-40. -13- of Central Asians nor the construction units were intended for combat in Afghanistan except incidentally. Combat units from these low-readiness divisions probably were intended to perform occupation duties. Construction and support units, by their very nature, are not intended for combat service. Reports concerning the timing of the reserve call-up vary from several hours to several weeks. In any case, it is unlikely that Soviet Central Asian reservists received fundamental or much additional weapons and combat training, a notable omission from their training during obligatory service, due to time constraints. Underlining this deduction is the rapid withdrawal of Central Asian troops from Afghanistan within a few months of their arrival and their replacement with other, primarily Slavic, troops. Other Central Asian reservists were recalled to service but never mobilized. Many were sent to holding camps along the Soviet-Afghanistan border until late February 1980, when they were deactivated without having seen active duty. It is unclear whether these Central Asian reservists received military training in the holding camps, but many were not issued uniforms, which suggests that they did not. [3] Some units of the Air Force and the Strategic Rocket Forces have been identified in Afghanistan. These branches of the military draw personnel almost exclusively from the Slavic, primarily Russian population. According to our interviewees, one interesting exception to recruitment policies to elite military services is the airborne forces. [3] ""KARI MArx, Lenin = KARMAL"", Der Spiegel, June 16, 1980, pp. 112-114. Airborne units can contain Central Asians who are Party members and possess unblemished political and security credentials. As airborne soldiers, Central Asians receive weapons and combat training and can serve in any capacity from unit interpreter to weapons specialist. While it is possible, even likely, that Central Asians served in Afghanistan with airborne units, it is unlikely that they could be found in large numbers or sizable concentrations in these units. The Soviet military as a matter of policy abolished national military units in the late 1950s (and even & republic's constitutional right to field them in 1978); therefore, large concentrations of Soviet Central Asian soldiers in Afghanistan cannot be explained this way. One possible exception to this rule exists: A high percentage of Soviet MVD troops, probably a majority, are Central Asians who receive fundamental, even extensive weapons and, probably, combat training. Soviet leaders may have contingency plans for fielding moderate-sized ""national units"" of MVD troops for special assignments. (For example, Kazakh troops of the MVD--who are chosen for their antipathy to Russians--put down the 1972 Novocherkask bread riots.) Trained Central Asian MVD troops probably were, and perhaps continue to be, used in Afghanistan to guard military installations and government buildings and to escort convoys, tasks which are consonant with MVD functions. -15- IV. CONCLUSIONS The support role and occupation duties of Soviet Central Asian soldiers in Afghanistan often positioned them in highly visible locations, such as unloading supply aircraft at the Kabul airport and building barracks and officers' quarters, where foreign observers and especially journalists chanced to see them in sizable concentrations. Convoy and guard troops of the MVD--again, mostly Central Asians--also were highly visible. (It should be noted that the term ""MVD"" refers to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which includes both police and paramilitary forces.) In conclusion, while Central Asians may have served in small numbers in combat units and possibly in larger numbers in support and occupation roles, it is unlikely that they played a significant role in the Soviet military presence in Afghanistan. Their lack of extensive weapons and combat training and their rapid withdrawal from the country suggest that they were not intended for combat service. Instead, they likely served in support and occupation roles as part of the overall Soviet strategy in Afghanistan. The visual identification of Soviet Central Asian soldiers by foreign journalists is in itself highly suspect. It is conceivable that some of the ""Central Asians"" identified by Western journalistic sources were in fact Volga Tatars or Mordvinians who can be racially similar to Central Asians and who for some centuries have been accepted as equal in the Russian military establishment to Slavic troops. Moreover, we are inclined to suspect the ability of untrained journalists to distinguish between dark-skinned Central Asians and dark-skinned peoples from the Caucasus, especially Armenians, Georgians, and Azeri Turks. From these encounters, journalists concluded that Soviet Central Asians participated fully in the Soviet invasion force. In fact, Soviet Central Asians conceivably did participate where they were observed; that is, in areas where their construction, support, occupation, convoy, and guard functions would logically take them. But it is unlikely for the reasons noted above that sizable concentrations of Central Asians could be found on the front line. Soviet authorities probably sent Central Asians into Afghanistan for three reasons. First, Central Asians constitute perhaps the only readily available construction and support resource for building a logistic base of operations in Afghanistan. Second, Slavic troops were not readily available to fill out the incomplete divisions stationed in the Central Asian and Turkestan Military Districts. Third, and most important, for public relations reasons, it was expected that Soviet Central Asians probably would blunt the political impact of the violent attack on the Afghan population by their ability to fraternize with various parts of it. When Soviet Central Asian soldiers began to be withdrawn from Afghanistan in late February and early March 1980, it may have been in part because this initial logistic and support function had been largely completed. Certainly this is one explanation, but it is clear from eyewitness reports and especially from reports by those eyewitnesses who speak the local languages of Afghanistan that Soviet Central Asian soldiers fraternized with the Afghan population, and that this fraternization was wide-ranging enough to make Soviet authorities uncomfortable lest Soviet Central Asians become infected with pro-Afghan, Islamic, nationalist, or anti-Russian sympathies. Consequently, most Soviet Central Asian soldiers have been removed; others, as noted earlier, were gathered together but never sent to Afghanistan. Those few who remain are logically from the MVD, serving in various security functions. This was observed to be the case in Czechoslovakia in 1968 after most Soviet troops were withdrawn. From the perspective of a Soviet political or military leader, the use of Soviet Central Asians as soldiers in Afghanistan probably backfired as a public relations strategy. For example, some recent information from Soviet Central Asia indicates that the use of Soviet Central Asians in the Afghanistan invasion has caused a new awareness among Soviet Central Asians generally about their relationship to the populations across their border, and in particular, to the world of Islam. For the most part, non-military Central Asians sent to Afghanistan to staff bureaucracies, like Central Asian soldiers, have been removed and replaced by Slavs, suggesting that they, too, may have developed unacceptable attachments to the Afghan population. Thus, it would appear that the Soviet experiment with Central Asians in Afghanistan was, at best, plagued by serious problems that caused its termination. At worst, the experiment simply failed. Soviet leaders undoubtedly will learn many lessons from this experience, including the difficulties they are likely to encounter if they are required once again to mobilize incomplete divisions that must be brought to complement from local, non-Slavic reservists. Increasingly, as the pool of available conscripts - and, hence, future reservists - becomes more and more non-Russian and non-Slavic, this issue will come to play a major role in mobilization decisions. For this and other reasons, Soviet reserve mobilization requires considerably more research and analysis by Western specialists. Beyond this, the problems surrounding the use of Central Asian military and non-military personnel in Afghanistan probably will convince Soviet leaders to reassess their eagerness and willingness to use Soviet Central Asians in this way in the future. Moreover, such a reassessment is likely to ensure that the long-standing historical doubts about the reliability of Central Asian participation in the Soviet armed forces will resurface and be strengthened.",Public "My 3 1/2 year old has been complaining on and off of pain in his penis.

Korea Attached at Tab G is a memo on our position regarding termination of the U.N. Command from Dick Solomon. While we do not yet have a definitive ROK reaction to our proposal - which Ambassador Habib presented to officials in Seoul last week - we believe it is important that you give the Chinese an authoritative signal of our intention to make further progress on this issue. The talking points below represent the maximum that you could disclose to the Chinese of the details of our proposals to the ROK. There is, alternatively, a good case for not using all of these points, because the Chinese might raise objections to some points, or our discussions with the ROK might produce modifications in our present plans. Talking Points: - The Chinese side was very helpful in handling the dissolution of UNCURK at the UNGA session last November in a constructive manner. - We told you last summer that we would consider alternative arrangements to the U.N. Command before next fall. We are willing to see the UNC terminated if alternative arrangements acceptable to both sides can be worked out which will maintain stability on the Korean Peninsula. - We are in the process of working out the details of a proposal with the ROK Government which Seoul will present to Pyongyang. Prior to this happening, we will consult with you on the details of the proposals via Ambassador Huang Chen or Huang Hua. We expect to be able to do so in a few weeks. - Once the two Koreas have reached a common position, the U.N. Security Council can ratify the new arrangement. We believe it will not be helpful to building confidence to have a public debate on this issue while the private negotiations are going on. Thus, we hope your North Korean friends will not precipitate a premature debate on this question in the U.N. - Our basic position is that while the UNC can go, the structure of the present armistice agreement should be maintained as a transitional arrangement. We believe that both the PRC and U.S. should remain associated with the existing armistice arrangement, as it will stabilize the situation as the two Koreas work out a new relationship. - We are willing to commit ourselves publicly to the ultimate withdrawal of our forces from Korea in a Shanghai Communique-type statement, but we will carry out our withdrawal only as the security situation on the Peninsula is stabilized. We have not decided on the most appropriate format for such a public statement, but we assume this will become evident as the negotiations proceed. - We will commit ourselves to this position on the basis of a private understanding with you and North Korea that you accept the interim presence of our forces in the ROK as the transitional arrangements between North and South evolve and are stabilized. We assume you will probably continue to make public statements calling for the withdrawal of our forces. - We believe there should first be a non-aggression pact between Seoul and Pyongyang. We understand that the North Koreans are seeking a more extensive peace treaty involving basic political issues. We are not opposed to such an arrangement in principle, but believe that it should evolve on a step-by-step basis as confidence is built between the two sides. - We frankly don't think it is helpful to have the North Koreans making direct public appeals to our Congress for a treaty negotiated directly with the U.S. This only raises suspicion in South Korea about our intentions and complicates our relationship with Seoul. We hope you will discourage such tactics. - We understand that the North Koreans have been making statements to the effect that they are willing to negotiate with the U.S. if we are willing to withdraw our forces from Korea. We have consistently made clear to the North Koreans that we are prepared to negotiate with them, but that we are not willing to withdraw our forces from Korea as a precondition to such talks. We believe that the North Koreans should understand that our willingness to negotiate with them is not dependent on our forces leaving Korea.

Indochina - On Vietnam, stress that we continue to believe that it is in everyone's interest to keep this region quiet. A renewed flare-up of hostilities would not be in the interest of US/PRC relations. We have always urged restraint on South Vietnam. and would hope that Hanoi's friends would do likewise with North Vietnam. Restraint on outside military assistance is essential. - On Laos, state that we support the new coalition government and the withdrawal of all outside troops (i.e., North Vietnamese and Chinese as well as Thai). - On Cambodia, our policy remains the same: We are willing to see a truly neutral government, with an appropriate role for Sihanouk, and we are not wedded to any particular persons or factions in the present government. We continue to favor negotiations between the Khmer factions, and we think the time may have come for the opening of such contacts. The Phnom Penh authorities have defeated the insurgent threats to the capital, and the dry season is nearly over. It is clear that neither side can prevail militarily, and a negotiated settlement would serve US and Chinese interests. Only the Soviets would gain from Hanoi's domination of the Indochina region. J.

Since then he has been able to eat very little - eats mostly yogurt, Ensure, fruit, etc. His stomach feels like it's filled with air. He also got pneumonia, then congestive heart failure. Could it be medication or an after-effect of what he has been through. We see the cardiologist Friday and hope we'll get some answers. But maybe you can come up with some answers. Thank you. Hello Thanks for posting at HCM. Loss of appetite after a pacemaker/defibrillator insertion is uncommon. But it is common after a pneumonia or congestive heart failure. I think the loss of appetite is as a result of the pneumonia and heart failure. Medications like antibiotics can also decrease appetite. You have to ensure that his nutrition is proper. Ensure is a good protein supplement along with fruits and milk products. Antibiotics are usually continued for 10-14 days after pneumonia depending on severity.He will gradually regain his appetite. There are some appetite boosting medications also like syrup aptivate or syp neogadine elixir. These brands can have different names in different countries. I don't know which country you are from.

GENERAL TAROUN, THE COMMANDER OF THE AFGHAN NATIONAL POLICE AND THE OFFICIAL WHO EVIDENTLY GAVE THE FINAL ORDERS FOR THE ASSAULT. TAROUN REFUSED TO TALK TO A US EMBASSY OFFICIAL SEATED OUTSIDE HIS OFFICE DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SIEGE, SAYING HE WAS ""TOO BUSY."" THE US EMBASSY IN KABUL HAS REPORTED THAT TWO OF THE FOUR TERRORISTS WHO ABDUCTED DUBS WERE KILLED WHILE BEING TAKEN AWAY BY POLICE AFTER THE SIEGE. THE BODIES OF THE SECOND MAN AND A FOURTH ""TERRORIST"" WERE DISPLAYED AT THE MORGUE LATER IN THE DAY. AFGHAN OFFICIALS REPEATEDLY REFUSED TO TELL EMBASSY OFFICERS THAT THE ASSAULT WAS ABOUT TO BE LAUNCHED IN THE MINUTES BEFORE IT WAS ORDERED. THE STORY OF DUBS' DEATH IN ROOM 117 OF THE ORAB, CAVERNOUS KABUL HOTEL IS BEING PORTRAYED BY THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT AS A REGRETTABLE BUT UNAVOIDABLE RESPONSE TO TERRORISTS WHO HAD GIVEN POLICE 10 MINUTES TO MEET AN IMPOSSIBLE DEMAND. BUT STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS WHO HAVE SEEN THE CABLE AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FROM THE EMBASSY IN KABUL SAY THEY BELIEVE THAT THE KEY TO THE STORY MAY BE THE HARSH ANTI-TERRORISM TACTICS THE SOVIETS USE AT HOME AND APPEAR TO TEACH ABROAD. THE BLOODY RESULTS THAT THOSE NO-NEGOTIATING TACTICS TEND TO BRING UNFOLD IN FLAT, ALMOST LACONIC PROSE IN THE CABLE'S CHRONOLOGY, WHICH BEGINS AT 8:45 AM ON FEB. 24 WITH DUBS' LIMOUSINE BEING STOPPED IN DOWNTOWN KABUL BY A MAN IN A TRAFFIC POLICE UNIFORM. FOUR ARMED MEN THEN FORCED THEIR WAY INTO THE CAR AND MADE THE CHAUFFEUR DRIVE TO THE HOTEL. THE CHAUFFEUR WAS THEN ORDERED TO GO BACK TO THE EMBASSY WITH NEWS OF THE KIDNAPPING. US OFFICIALS ARRIVED AT THE HOTEL BY 9 AM, ABOUT THE SAME TIME AFGHAN POLICE GOT THERE. ""AT ABOUT 9:20, THE FIRST SOVIET POLICE ADVISER, A TALL BALDING MAN WITH A BLACK OVERCOAT, ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO CONSULTATION WITH THE AFGHAN OFFICIALS,"" THE CABLE REPORTS. TEN MINUTES LATER, ""THERE WAS A SMALL CONFERENCE AMONG THE AMERICANS, THE AFGHAN POLICE AND THE SOVIET ADVISER."" THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS CONFERENCE AND LATER CONVERSATIONS THAT DIRECTLY INVOLVED THE AMERICANS, AFGHANS AND SOVIETS SHARPLY CONTRADICTS AFGHAN ACCOUNTS THAT BLAME CONFUSION ON LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED BY THE THREE NATIONALITIES. MOREOVER, AT THAT CONFERENCE, AND FOR THE NEXT FOUR HOURS THE AMERICANS WERE TOLD THAT THE KIDNAPPERS HAD NOT MADE A SPECIFIC THREAT ON DUBS' LIFE OR ESTABLISHED A DEADLINE, ACCORDING TO THE CABLE. EMBASSY POLITICAL OFFICER BRUCE FLATIN PLEADED WITH THE AFGHANS AND THE SOVIETS AT THE HOTEL NOT TO TAKE ANY ""PRECIPITOUS"" ACTION, AND TO WAIT FOR ADVICE THAT THE EMBASSY HAD REQUESTED FROM WASHINGTON. AS HE FINISHED SPEAKING, ""TWO SOVIET PLAINCLOTHESMEN ARRIVED ON THE SCENE, CARRYING SEVERAL GREEN CANVAS BAGS,"" THE CABLE SAID. AT 10:25, SERGEI BAKHTURIN, THE SOVIET EMBASSY SECURITY OFFICER, CAME TO THE HOTEL. HE IMMEDIATELY ASSURED THE AMERICANS OF A STRONG SOVIET INTEREST IN THE AMBASSADOR'S SAFETY. ONE OF THE AFGHAN POLICE OFFICIALS ""PROMISED TO DEFEND THE AMBASSADOR WITH HIS OWN LIFE,"" ACCORDING TO THE CABLE. AT THAT POINT, THE AMERICANS WERE UNCERTAIN HOW MANY MEN WERE HOLDING DUBS. THEY SUBSEQUENTLY LEARNED THAT ONE GUNMAN HAD COME DOWNSTAIRS TO LOOK FOR A KEY AND HAD BEEN OVERPOWERED AND CAPTURED IN THE HOTEL LOBBY. THE EMBASSY ALSO DISPATCHED POLITICAL OFFICER JAMES E. TAYLOR TO THE MINISTRY OF INTERIOR TO SEE TAROUN, THE POLICE COMMANDER. ARRIVING AT THE MINISTRY AT 10:45, At 11:15, he repeatedly sent messages to Taroun asking that a move be made that would endanger Oubs' life. But Taroun refused to see Taylor, and kept him waiting outside his office. The first signs of preparations for assault came at 11:26, when Afghan troops with commando gear began sealing off streets and setting up ladders against the side of the hotel in full view of those in room 217, astonished Americans ""once again asked the Afghan police force for patience,"" and no assault materialized. According to the cable, Bakhturin, who emerges as the principal go-between, told US officers that the gunmen had demanded the return of a captured accomplice, a demand that was refused by the police. When the police asked for Flatin to shut off the lights in Oubs' room or drop to the floor in 20 minutes, Flatin refused, recognizing that the Afghans were preparing for an assault. The police officer in charge ""became very upset and insisted that he was under orders to strike immediately."" It was shortly after noon at that point, and Bakhturin disclosed to Flatin for the first time that the police felt that a 1 PM deadline had been set by the kidnappers. The tragedy that was building becomes more visible in the cable's new tone of inevitability. Firemen with picks and axes arrived and joined the police. A photograph of the ambassador was displayed to all members of the security strike force. One of the commanders then asked, ""Is that the terrorist?"" He was told that it was the ambassador, whom he was to avoid shooting, the cable states. The Afghan forces appeared to the Americans to be receiving orders over a radio set up in a small room off the hotel lobby. The cable suggests that Taroun was directing the assault by radio from his office. At 12:45, ""one specially armed and armored policeman lay prone on the floor before the door, pointing his weapon at the door. The Soviet advisers then stepped forward into operational roles, handing a weapon from a green canvas bag to one of the Afghan soldiers and positioning the snipers,"" the cable says. ""At exactly 12:56, very heavy gunfire broke out in the corridor, in the room and from across the street. Both single-shot and automatic weapons were heard. ""The entryway into the hotel room was a seven-foot-long hall whose air was filled with dense cordite smoke,"" the American group reported. They found Oubs' body beside a wardrobe. He had a single small-caliber wound above the right eye and a large-caliber bullet wound in the heart area and had a wound in the left wrist. The Americans hurriedly inspected the room for evidence and took notes of the extensive damage. Three days later when they returned for another inspection, they found that the room had been replastered and repainted, and that all traces of Adolph Oubs' killing had been covered up.

With the construction of the evaporation ponds over Transwestern's right of way and pipline, Transwestern has closely monitored the potential for impacts for the pipeline. This includes a more frequent inspection of the pipeline conditions underlying the ponds by taking potentiometric readings to verify that corrosion is not present. Transwestern has also installed rectifiers to assist in eleminating the potential of pipeline corrosion. As a DOT requirement, Transwestern has cathodically protected the entire pipeline system with an external pipeline coating to further ensure the integrity of the pipeline underlying the evaporation ponds. The pipline safety measures implemented by Transwestern are designed to not only identify corrosion iimpacts to the pipeline system at the inception of detrimental impacts as a result of corrosion, but also allow for long term stability and integrity by conducting state of the art monitoring and detection. Noise Issue. In the initial environmental assessment and study, Transwestern conducted baseline surveys of the area to determine existing noise levels. This study was completed to assist Transwestern in the mitigation measures which will be implemented after construction of the Gallup Compresso Station. Pending completion of the facility, Transwestern will conduct post noise studys to determine whether facility noise levels have increased above those levels mandated by FERC. In the event of operational noise levels exceeding the FERC regulatory level of 55 ldn, Transwestern is committed to performing any and all mitigation measures necessary to ensure that the post noise level of the facility will not be above the level mandated by FERC. Decrepancy of trailer park residents. In the letter by Mr. Garcia, it was stated that Transwestern's assessment of the number of residences in the adjacent trailer park was not 18 as had been stated in our original study, but ""more like 35 trailers"". The number of mobile home residences currrently in the trailer park may in fact be closer to 35. Transwestern's trailer park residence count was taken in the winter of the year when the fluctuating job market is normally down and the number of residences in the park was low. The transient nature of mobile home residences and the fluctuating job economy of the area is probably a direct reflection of the up and down nature of the residences. It should also be noted that during the time that the trailer park count was made, the owner of the trailer park who is also the operator of the evaporation ponds was experiencing major difficulties in the operation of the ponds and raw sewage had overflowed the pond embankments and had resulted in the raw sewage ponding in the yards of many of the trailer park residents. It was actually noted that many of the spaces normally occupied by mobile homes had been vacated. This unsanitary condition was also identified by the New Mexico Environment Department.

BOTTOM LINE: China figures prominently in every key issue/area in Asia, and will almost certainly become significantly more powerful over time. The protection of U.S. interests in Asia demands a healthy, non-hostile long-term relationship with the PRC.

Please type your query here...I am having a terrible toothache and when I stand up or lie down, I can feel my pulse in my tooth. I can't stand this throbbing pain anymore but I can't afford a trip to the dentist. Any suggestions? Dear User,Thanks for using health care magic.From the available description it appears that there is infection in root of your teeth. The another possibility is of caries tooth which leads to raw surface and this gives sense of pulsation if exposed to low or high temperature.Visiting dentist is required as he can only provide the suitable treatment for condition after diagnosing it.Other than keep your oral hygiene in better form so there is no or minimal risk of repeated infection.'Hope I have answered your query.

We are still gathering information and considering the options. 3. No need for others to rush. We do not feel that there is any immediate crisis in our China policy that demands a quick decision. We are not stampeded by tactical events. We believe that we must be careful and deliberate in our approach to this important issue. Therefore, we urge other governments to wait and see how our policy evolves before committing themselves to any particular course of action. 4. UN CHIREP must be seen in broader context of long-term China policy. The question of China's representation in the United Nations is only one aspect of our overall policy toward China. We must consider it in light of our long-term interests and objectives, and not let the tactical issue of UN CHIREP lock us into a strategic course without fully understanding the consequences. Our China policy from A to Z -- No change at all; Two China's; One China; One China, One Taiwan; beefing up our Asian deterrent; seeking mutual accommodation with Peking. For tough talk, the potential benefits (and drawbacks too) of our having Taiwan as a military base could even be used to illustrate why such thorough study is necessary. 3. U.S. flexibility. We prefer directions that ease our relations with Peking, but that depends on Peking too. We haven't heard from them lately. We are willing to talk with them about any important subject, at any level. 4. Other governments should wait. We have always exchanged views on China policy with our friends.

This can be diagnosed by the following ways: Clinical examination by a General Surgeon gives fairly correct diagnosis. To be confirmed by high resolution ultrasonography or MRI as is needed. FNAC that is fine needle aspiration may be needed in selected cases. All these will give a proper diagnosis and a plan of an appropriate management wither surgical or medical as the need be.

IMMEDIATE RESULTS. REMARKABLY OPEN MARATHON DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN PRESIDENT MARCOS AND ASST. SECY. HOLBROOKE HAVE ENHANCED THE ATMOSPHERE FOR VITALIZING OUR BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP IN AN OBJECTIVE AND USEFUL MANNER; FOR DEALING EFFECTIVELY WITH UNCERTAINTIES IN THE OVERALL SECURITY RELATIONSHIP; AND FOR TENDING TO IMMEDIATE IRRITANTS ARISING AT THE BASES. MARCOS APPARENTLY RECOGNIZES THAT CONGRESSIONAL CONSIDERATIONS MAY PRECLUDE EARLY SUBMISSION OF A NEW AGREEMENT, BUT HE IS LOOKING TO A PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSION PROCESS IN THE NEXT MONTHS. OUR RESPONSIVENESS TO THE ISSUES HE HAS RAISED AT THE POLICY AND AT THE OPERATIONAL LEVEL WILL BE KEY. WE ARE EMBARKING UPON A TWO-TIERED DIALOGUE DESIGNED TO DEAL WITH BOTH LEVELS. 2. MAJOR POLICY ISSUES. A. STATUS OF FORCES AGREEMENT (SOFA). MARCOS IS CONCERNED THAT THE CURRENT SOFA IS OUTDATED AND NEEDS TO BE REVISED. HE HAS INDICATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN AGREEMENT THAT IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION AND THAT PROVIDES FOR MORE EQUITABLE TREATMENT OF FILIPINOS WORKING AT THE BASES. HE ALSO WANTS A CLEARER DEFINITION OF MILITARY ACTIVITIES THAT ARE PERMITTED AT THE BASES. B. US MILITARY PRESENCE. MARCOS HAS EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT THE US MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE PHILIPPINES MAY BECOME TOO DOMINANT AND THAT THE PHILIPPINES COULD BECOME TOO DEPENDENT ON THE US FOR ITS SECURITY. HE WANTS TO ENSURE THAT THE PHILIPPINES MAINTAINS ITS SOVEREIGNTY AND INDEPENDENCE. C. BASES RENTAL. MARCOS HAS INDICATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN INCREASE IN THE RENTAL FEES FOR THE US MILITARY BASES IN THE PHILIPPINES. HE BELIEVES THAT THE CURRENT FEES ARE TOO LOW AND DO NOT REFLECT THE TRUE VALUE OF THE BASES. 3. OPERATIONAL ISSUES. MARCOS HAS ALSO RAISED SEVERAL OPERATIONAL ISSUES THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE ADDRESSED, INCLUDING IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE AT THE BASES, THE NEED FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN US AND PHILIPPINE MILITARY FORCES, AND THE NEED FOR A CLEARER DEFINITION OF THE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF EACH COUNTRY'S MILITARY FORCES AT THE BASES. 4. GUIDELINES FOR FUTURE DISCUSSIONS. IN ORDER TO ENSURE A PRODUCTIVE DIALOGUE WITH MARCOS, WE SHOULD BE PREPARED TO ADDRESS HIS CONCERNS IN A TIMELY AND RESPONSIVE MANNER. THIS MAY INCLUDE PROVIDING HIM WITH DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE CURRENT SOFA AND OUR PLANS FOR ITS REVISION, AS WELL AS ENGAGING IN OPEN AND HONEST DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE US-PHILIPPINE SECURITY RELATIONSHIP. 5.

I m 24 weeks pregnant and i have acute Bronchitis... I recently saw the other day that i have red blotchy area on my face localized in just this one area. What can I do for it to go away. It doesn t itch although its dry. Hello,As you explain, the history you should contact your doctor for further follow-ups.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Jnikolla",Confidential "Hello. I have been taking medications for pain for several years. Always going through a pain management dr because that is their specialty. In February I changed my pain management dr because I didn t think I was getting the level of care I needed. I found a new dr that not only prescribed medications but also did procedures which seemed to help me more than just being on medication. I have had several drug screens over the years all of which I ve never had a problem with. Recently one of my drug screens came back with methadone and morphine. I didn t even know what methadone was until it was explained to me. I have NEVER misused my medications or taken ANYTHING other than what has been prescribed to me. I guess my question is how would I test positive for medications that I have never taken? Hello, The usual test done is a dipstick. There is some animal serum that was immunized against a particular drug and made to light up if it binds the drug. BUT it can bind to similar compounds that are not a drug and sometimes it just misfires. A better and far more expensive test is MASS SPEC. It is less likely to misfire.

The lump was as large as a ducks egg...and now it is about the size of a pigeon s egg. there are still black marks under my left eye , as the veins continue to clear out the blood. How can I help this process to speed up ? Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.With your history this seems to be a resolving hematoma in the subcutaneous tissues of the area. As the hematoma was large enough initially, it might take more time for the blood to get absorbed gradually. You can apply a pressure bandage over it if need be. However, it would take its own time unless it has got organised. In that case it might have to be evacuated by a small incision under local anaesthesia. You have to take the opinion of a general surgeon in that case. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in planning your treatment.

Can such tooth pastes can be used over a prolonged period of time? Hello,Choosing a desensitizing tooth paste depend on your degree of tooth wearing and the amount of sensitivity. You should start with a very basic one like plain sensodent , apply for 10-15 minutes, do it for two times daily for at least 1 week. If you did not feel relief from that then you should visit your dentist as he will examine the tooth and then prescribe you what is needed, as without proper examination just experimenting with anything is not done.Hope it will help youThank you",Confidential "TOM Ne oe ates, a i t 4 — wt | BRIDGE TASKER ""B00 06 SUBJECT TASKER NUMBER Daybook information for Sail ORIGINATOR/REFERENCE SUSPENSE 1100) J001B 6 Dec DATE/DTG DATE TASKER ORIGINATED FINAL ACTION 5 Dec 96 INFORMATION REQUIRED/REPLY FORMAT: O MESSAGE series C enter © PAPER (INFORMATION POINT TALKING OTHER: ) BRIEFING qt DAYBOOK ENTRY-ORIGINAL AND COPY.

Hi there, welcome to HCM, thanks for your question.It is highly unlikely that the sweeding in your left little finger is caused form your cervical spine.Cervical spine compression would cause pain or numbness or burning sensation or weakness in your fingers.But never compression in cervical spine has not been associated with swelling in fingers.

TRADITIONAL TRIBAL RESISTANCE TO CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY, RELIGIOUS CONCERNS AND IDEOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES HAVE LED TO ARMED OPPOSITION, ORIGINALLY CONFINED TO TRIBAL AREAS IN EASTERN AFGHANISTAN BUT NOW APPARENTLY SPREADING TO OTHER AREAS OF THE COUNTRY. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE SIGNS OF DECLINING MORALE AND INCREASING CASUALTIES AMONG THE MILITARY AND INDICATIONS OF TENSIONS WITHIN THE RULING PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY. AT THE SAME TIME, SEVERAL OPPOSITION GROUPS HAVE ESTABLISHED THEMSELVES IN PAKISTAN AND ARE ATTEMPTING TO GENERATE INTERNATIONAL PUBLICITY AND FOREIGN SUPPORT. SO FAR, PAKISTAN APPEARS TO BE AVOIDING ANY SUBSTANTIAL SUPPORT TO THESE COMPETING GROUPS. TIES BETWEEN THESE GROUPS AND RESISTANCE ACTIVITIES IN AFGHANISTAN ARE UNCLEAR. THE DRA IS ALSO CONFRONTING THE SPECTER OF A SERIOUS SHORTFALL IN WHEAT PRODUCTION DUE TO INADEQUATE WINTER PRECIPITATION AND UNCERTAINTIES RESULTING FROM THE REGIME'S EXTENSIVE LAND AND CREDIT REFORM PROGRAMS. EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY TO IMPORT AS MUCH AS 800,000 TONS OF ADDITIONAL FOODGRAINS BUT DELIVERY AND DISTRIBUTION WILL BE A DIFFICULT TASK FOR THE DRA.

I have had episodes of sudden fainting, pain and burning in the chest. When tested, ECG was fine. But four days ago, it was different. I had felt extremely fatigued for two days, then I felt pain in my center and left side of my chest. My hands seemed numb. I had periodic episodes of cold sweats on the back of my head and neck, as well as a dull ache in my left upper shoulder. The heaviness was there also. This stayed off and on all evening, during which I took two baby Aspirin, which provided a little relief. The next day, I was still very tired and my chest was sore. The pain was sporadic in my chest, like a quick stinging pain. When I tried to do anything, it would try to start again. During this time, my blood pressure reached its highest at 167/112 mmHg. The third day I felt better. I am currently on Zoloft 100 mg once daily. Does this sound like a heart attack? I was terrified. Hello. Your symptoms are not typical of a heart attack. They seem to indicate musculoskeletal pain or inflammation. Is the pain triggered by deep breathing or body movements? This would be another argument in favor of a musculo-skeletal pain. The increase in blood pressure values during these episodes is a normal physiological reaction to the pain. So, there is nothing to worry about. Anyways, an exercise cardiac stress test would help reassure you that nothing bad is going on. Regarding your blood pressure values, I would recommend you to measure your blood pressure frequently during a week and write those values down. If blood pressure values are frequently above the normal ranges (140/90 mmHg), antihypertensive therapy may be needed. Some blood lab tests are also necessary to investigate for other possible metabolic causes that may lead to this symptomatology: For more information consult a cardiologist online -->",Confidential "Morela Hernandez - remove from distribution lists Hi there, Morela called to asked to be removed from all EIM distribution lists, (eg.

If this is the case, the Soviet Union has already made a feint in the East and is now attacking in the West. But we don't think so. The Soviet Union is making a feint in the East while attacking in the West. If this is the case, the Soviet Union has already made a feint in the East and is now attacking in the West. But we don't think so. The Soviet Union is Soviet Union is so aggressive, why does China not join the Soviet Union in the Warsaw Pact or in the International Communist Movement?"" In China. Also, we say that the Soviet focus is in the West. We are also making solid preparations. But one should by no means be under the false impression that when China proposes this theory that ‘China wants to direct the Soviet Union Westward so that the Soviet Union will not go to the East. I heard that during your first trip to China, prior to President Nixon's visit, Premier Chou talked to you. I was not present, but he said China's strategy was to get prepared to deal with aggression from all Sides. At that time we did not have the Shanghai Communique yet. Well, although I have read the verbal record of your talk, I do not remember what the original words were: but anyway, the Premier told you that even if the Soviet Union seizes the land north of the Yellow River, and Japan grabs the northeast, the United States the east, and India grabs Tibet, we are not afraid. That was what we thought at that time. After the Shanghai Communique, we made no reference to these words. We have always believed that we should rely on our independent strength to deal with the Soviet Union, and we have never cherished any illusions about this. We have told this to the Doctor as well as to visiting American friends. We do not depend on nuclear weapons; even less on nuclear protection by other countries. We depend on two things: First is the perseverance of the 800 million Chinese people. If the Soviet Union wants to attack China it must be prepared to fight for at least two decades. We mainly depend on millet plus rifles. Of course, this millet plus rifles is different from what we had during Yenan times. We pursue a policy of self-reliance in our economic construction and also in our strategic problems. As I said just now, we are not directing the evil of the Soviet Union Westward, but we are concerned about the West because if the Soviet Union is to make trouble its focal point is in the West. Naturally we are concerned about it. It is precisely proceeding from this assessment that we are interested in a unified and strong Europe -- including the improvement of relations between Europe and the United States. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE DECLASSIFIED Sheri DO F726 a 41 PRODUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PVF uses, om Hero — TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE 6 It is also precisely proceeding from this strategic assessment that we advised you to use both of your hands in dealing with Arabs and Israelis. It is also precisely out of this strategic assessment that we expressed that we did not understand the attitude of the United States in the case when the Soviet Union and India dismembered Pakistan. These are political problems as well as strategic problems, and these include tactics under the guidance of these problems, these strategic problems -- for instance, when we advised you to use both of your hands (in the Middle East/ this was tactics. It was also precisely out of this strategic assessment that we have often told you, as well as Japan, that Japan should put a first priority on relations between Japan and the United States and then between Japan and China. This not only concerns the West but also the East. On this point, we have advised our American friends on many occasions that the United States should formulate its own focus of strategy. We have often said the United States was keeping ten fleas under its ten fingers and that the United States should not let itself bog down in the quagmire of Indochina. And out of this strategic consideration, when the United States was building its military base in Diego Garcia on the Indian Ocean, China did not criticize this. On these questions and a number of other issues we proceed from political and strategic considerations to deal with international problems as well as our bilateral relations. We have made our assessment of Soviet strategy after careful study of the international situation. In our talks with the Europeans, they have constantly raised the question: ""If the Soviet Union is so aggressive, why does China not join the Soviet Union in the Warsaw Pact or in the International Communist Movement?"" There is trouble in Europe, what will be the attitude of the United States? I will be very candid with the Doctor, the Europeans are very apprehensive on this point. Secretary Kissinger: But our question is what will be the attitude of the Europeans? TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE DECLASSIFIED Ato MO 772625 . EE PROCUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE Vice Premier Teng: Perhaps this has something to do with your relations with the Europeans. The Doctor may recall that in 1973 Chairman Mao asked you whether it was possible for the new isolationism to emerge in the United States. You answered in the negative term. You said no. Secretary Kissinger: I just now said to Mr. Lord that I knew I was tricky, but I am not that tricky -- to answer ""affirmatively no."" (Laughter) Vice Premier Teng: But from that you can assess what Chairman Mao is thinking, what we are thinking about. This observation of the situation dates back as early as the first nuclear arms talks between the United States and the Soviet Union. Those talks took place in 1963. That treaty was prepared by three countries, and it left a deep impression on me at that time. I made my last visit to the Soviet Union as head of the delegation of the Chinese Communist Party to negotiate with the Russians, and it (the non-proliferation treaty) was made public on the day when we left (Moscow). At that time our talks with the Soviet Union were completely bankrupt, and we were certain that a most important part of the treaty was directed against China. I don't doubt that at that time the attitude of the United States and the British was to restrain the Soviet Union from nuclear development. Of course this is a strategic problem and, in terms of tactics, after more than nine years -- nearly ten years -- in this period things have changed. They show that the aim -- the purpose -- of these tactics has failed to be achieved. In 1972, when you reached the second (SALT) agreement, the Soviet Union drastically quickened their pace in the development of nuclear arms. Their pace was quicker than the United States. When the third agreement (on prevention of nuclear war) was reached between your countries, the strategic balance had reached equilibrium. In November last year when we met (after the Vladivostok meeting), the Doctor informed us that the number of Soviet missiles had not yet reached the ceiling, and this morning you told us that the number of Soviet missiles had exceeded the ceiling -- leaving aside the quality. This is our observation from one angle. And in the race between the Soviet Union and the United States, the United States has not gained. In terms of conventional weapons, the Soviet Union has far exceeded you and Europe. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE DECLASSIFIED Ato MO 772625 . EE PROCUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE It is almost eleven months since we met last year. During this period we have again made our observations. And through our observations we have got the impression that the Helsinki Conference is an indication -- and not only the Helsinki Conference, but things before the Helsinki Conference -- that it is worthwhile to recall history. Secretary Kissinger: What things? Vice Premier Teng: Well, problems of various descriptions (mentioned earlier). By recalling history, I mean the period prior to the Second World War -- the period 1936 to 1939, which is particularly worthwhile to recall. The Doctor studies history and I think is more knowledgeable than I. As I understand, the Doctor once said that in actuality the Soviet Union has gone beyond the Rhineland. This shows that the Doctor has made a study of it. After the Germans entered into the Rhineland you may recall what was the attitude of the British and French, and what was the policy pursued by Chamberlin and Daladier. They pursued a policy of appeasement towards Hitler. he Soviet Union. They have more confidence in themselves. They think the Soviet Union has become strong. They think the Soviet Union is now strong and powerful and you cannot restrain them. The Soviet Union is not satisfied with the status quo. They want to expand their territory. They want to expand their territory, especially in the southern part of our continent. In pursuing such policies, the purpose of Chamberlain and Daladier was obvious. They wanted to direct the peril Eastward, and their first aim was to appease Hitler so that he would not take rash actions. Their second aim was to direct the peril toward the East. The stark historical realities have brought out the failure of the policies carried out by Chamberlain and Daladier. Their policies have gone to the opposite of their wishes. They neither got international peace and stability nor achieved their purpose of directing the peril of Hitler to the East. Instead, the spearhead of Hitler was directed to the West -- Czechoslovakia and Poland. These countries were in the West, and they did not attack the Soviet Union first. If I remember correctly from what I read in newspapers, when Chamberlain visited Germany he carried an umbrella. But it neither shaded him from the moon or the sun -- no, the rain or the sun. At that time France boasted that they had the Maginot line. But Germany did not attack the Maginot line. They attacked from Belgium and attacked France, and France collapsed and Chamberlain gave up all resistance. He mobilized all the ships to move from Dunkirk -- that is, he wanted to slip away. So in fact this appeasement policy led to an earlier break out of the Second World War. In our contacts with quite a number of Europeans they often raise the lessons of Munich. According to our observations, we may say that the danger of such historical tragedy is increasing. The Doctor asked just now what were other things apart from the Helsinki Conference. I raised three questions to you this morning. This shows there were other things apart from the Helsinki Conference. In terms of strategy, Soviet weapons have far exceeded those of the West. Also, you have reached the equilibrium of weapons. In terms of total military strength, the Soviet Union has a greater military strength than the United States and the European countries put together. But the Soviet Union has two big weaknesses: One, they lack food grains; the second is that their industrial equipment and technology is backward. In the long run, although the Soviet Union has a greater military strength, these two weaknesses have put the Soviet Union in a weak position. It is limited in its strength so that when a war breaks out the Soviet Union cannot hold out long. Therefore, we do not understand why the United States and the West have used their strong points to make up for the Soviet weakness. If the United States and Europe have taken advantage of the weaknesses of the Soviet Union, you might have been in a stronger negotiating position. As for our views on the Helsinki Conference, I think you know our views, which differ from yours. We call it the European Insecurity Conference and you call it the European Security Conference. The Munich agreement pulled the wool over the eyes of Chamberlain, Daladier, and some European people. And in the case when you supply them, make up for the weak points of the Soviet Union, you help the Soviet Union to overcome its weaknesses. You can say you pulled the wool over the eyes of the West and demoralized the Western people and let them slacken their pace. We have a Chinese saying: A donkey is made to push the millstone because when you make the donkey push around the millstone you have to blindfold it. This is a political or we may say strategic problem in the present situation which people are most concerned with. And we are now speaking our views on these problems very candidly. As for the Russians, they now feel you cannot restrain the Soviet Union. They have more confidence in themselves. They think the Soviet Union has become strong. They think the Soviet Union is now strong and powerful and you cannot restrain them. The Soviet Union is not satisfied with the status quo. They want to expand their territory, especially in the southern part of our continent. hem. They are not reliable and cannot be restrained. And, of course, in the West -- including the United States -- there are two schools of public opinion. A greater part of the public opinion has clearly seen this. A considerable, greater part of the public opinion has seen this. We understand that the Americans, Europeans, and including the Japanese, do not want a war because they have gone through two World Wars. This we can understand. They fear a war. We always feel that to rely on the European Security Conference, or anything else in an attempt to appease the Russians, will fail. These things will be counterproductive. For example, the Europeans fear war day and night. They hope to obtain peace for a certain period of time at any price. Exactly because of that, we should not blindfold them by the evolution of detente. We should remind them of the possibility of attack from the polar bear. So every time Chairman Mao meets foreign guests he advises them to get prepared. Without preparation they would suffer. The most effective way to deal with the possible attack from the Russians is not what you call agreements or treaties, not what is written on paper, but actual preparations. As for China, we have told you on many occasions, and I will again tell you frankly, that China fears nothing under heaven or on earth. China will not ask favors from anyone. We depend on the digging of tunnels. We rely on millet plus rifles to deal with all problems internationally and locally, including the problems in the East. There is an argument in the world to the effect that China is afraid of an attack by the Russians. As a friend, I will be candid and tell you that this assessment is wrong. Today we are only talking about strategic problems. The Doctor was a former professor. I have taken my 50 minutes to talk and I have gone beyond 50 minutes. That was because I am only a soldier. It is not easy to confine oneself within 50 minutes. I once taught in a school. I gave a lecture for 50 minutes, but I have never been a professor. I have taken too much of your time. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE DECLASSIFIED ° ; feorsy MD 7.726 05 BE PRODUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES, ; ¢ Py wees po foot — TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE 11 Secretary Kissinger: No, it was interesting and important. Can we take a five minute break, and maybe I will make a few observations? Vice Premier Teng: Yes. (There was a short break at this point.) Secretary Kissinger: Do you want me to make some observations now, or how do you propose to proceed? Vice Premier Teng: Yes. Please go ahead. Secretary Kissinger: I listened with great interest to the Vice Premier's presentation and I would like to make a few observations. First, I have noticed the frequent reference to President Nixon. I have worked very closely with President Nixon. And I think it is correct to Say that we jointly designed the policy to which you referred approvingly. It is also the case that I am still in touch with him every two or three weeks at some length, so I know his views very precisely. I can safely Say that the policy we are pursuing today is the policy that President Nixon would pursue if it had not been for Watergate. The policy toward the Soviet Union that is being pursued today was designed by President Nixon and myself and is the same that is being pursued today. There is no difference between President Nixon's policy toward the Soviet Union and President Ford's. If anything, President Ford is a nuance tougher toward the Soviet Union. And I say this as the one man in public life who has maintained contact with President Nixon and never criticized him and has stated publicly that he has made a great contribution in matters of foreign policy. Leaving this aside, I must say I listened to the Vice Premier's presentation with some sadness. I had thought, obviously incorrectly, that some of the public statements which I had heard were said for public effect. But this is obviously not the case. And I am very sorry about this because it makes our task more difficult. We are not here to discuss the past. I have no interest in discussing the past. I am here to discuss the future, and I am here to discuss the future in a constructive spirit. I have noted the Vice Premier's statements on the Soviet Union. I have no interest in defending the Soviet Union. I have no interest in defending any country. I am not a lawyer; I am a statesman. I am interested in the future, not in the past. But I must tell you that the Soviet Union is not the only country that has a record of aggression. The Soviet Union is not the only country that has a record of aggression in the last 30 years. The Soviet Union is not the only country that has a record of aggression in the last 30 years and that has not yet acknowledged it. I am not interested in defending the Soviet Union. I am here to discuss the future. I am here to discuss the future with a country that has a great civilization, that has a great culture, that has a great history, and that has a great future. I am here to discuss the future with a country that is a great power, that is a great power in Asia, that is a great power in the world, and that has a great role to play in the world. I am here to discuss the future with a country that has a great people, that has a great people who have made great contributions to the world, and who have made great contributions to the United States. I am here to discuss the future with a country that is an ancient civilization, that is a great power, and that is a great people. I am here to discuss the future with a country that has a great role to play in the world. I am here to discuss the future with a country that has made great contributions to the world, that has made great contributions to the United States, and that has a great people.

However, the Soviet Union has increased its military strength at a faster rate than the United States, leading to a relative increase in their strength. This is a concern for us, but it does not mean that we are weak or that we will not be able to defend ourselves and our allies. Another misapprehension is the idea that the United States is solely responsible for the arms race and tensions with the Soviet Union. This is not true. Both sides have contributed to the arms race and tensions, and both sides must work towards reducing them. Finally, I want to address the issue of human rights. The United States takes human rights very seriously, and we believe that it is important for all nations to respect the rights and dignity of their citizens. We will continue to raise these issues with the Soviet Union and other nations, but we also recognize that change must come from within each country and cannot be imposed from the outside. In conclusion, I want to reiterate that the United States is committed to defending ourselves and our allies, and we will not back down in the face of aggression from any nation. We also recognize the importance of dialogue and diplomacy in reducing tensions and promoting peace. We will continue to engage with the Soviet Union and other nations in pursuit of these goals. Thank you. the agreements that have been signed. This is the result of changes in technology. and the erroneous decision of the Administration that was in office in the 60's when the Soviet Union was building up its strategic forces. If you analyze the results of the (SALT/ agreement of 1972, since 1972 the strategic strength of the United States has increased considerably relative to that of the Soviet Union. It is also true that after some point in the field of strategic weapons, it is difficult to translate military superiority into a political advantage. With respect to the second agreement, the Vladivostok agreement, you must have translated what I said incorrectly from the German. There has been no change in the Soviet strength since Vladivostok. Since the Soviet Union does not dismantle their obsolete units, they have 2,700 units and they have had those for five years. After Vladivostok they would have to get rid of 200. Since we do get rid of our obsolete units, we have somewhat less than 2400. But numbers are not so important anyway, as each US unit can carry more warheads. We have gone ahead by a ratio of 6 or 7 to 1. Moreover, since the Soviets like big things which take room, they have about 85 to 90 percent of their forces on land, where they are vulnerable because the accuracy of our forces is improved. Less than 20 percent of our forces are on land, and they are less vulnerable. So it is not true that in the strategic balance we are behind, even though there are many newspaper articles in America written for political purposes that assert this. In 1960 President Kennedy was elected by speaking of the missile gap, even though the Soviet Union had only 30 missiles, each of which took ten hours to get ready to fire and we had 1,200 airplanes. Ever since then it has been the secret dream of every American presidential candidate to run on a missile gap campaign, so we are in danger of this issue erupting every four years. In 1970 when we confronted the Soviets on the submarine base in Cuba, in 1970 in Jordan, in 1970 in Berlin, and in 1973 in the Middle East, they always yielded within 36 hours when we made a military move. Their military calculations are not as optimistic as some of our European friends fear - such as Denmark.

The long term program we are now negotiating precisely prevents them from storing large quantities because it puts a ceiling on what they can buy in one year on the American market. So our policy is quite clear, and in pursuing it we have not asked anything from China. We have kept you informed by our many discussions, but I don't recall that we have ever asked for anything from the People's Republic of China. Of course, China pursues its own policies, and we respect your independence. I hope you will make the positions which you made clear to us clear to every European visitor who comes here. We do not object to your public posture. We think it is essentially correct, and indeed it is even helpful. We do object when you direct it against us, when you accuse us of betraying our allies and endangering the security of the world by deliberately promoting war and standing on the sidelines, when in fact we are doing actual things to prevent a war and preserve the world equilibrium. And you should also consider that if the United States public finds too much discouragement around the world, and if everywhere we move we find the opposition of every country, then precisely this mood of isolationism which concerns so many other countries will develop. We attach great significance to the agreements that have been signed. This is the result of changes in technology. and the erroneous decision of the Administration that was in office in the 60's when the Soviet Union was building up its strategic forces.

In the September 4, 2001 Order, the Commission decided that the ""translated in-city price cap is to be fixed at an amount determined on the day of the first in-city capacity auction under UCAP methodology"" using data from the most recent 12-month period. On the basis of Operating Data received by the NYISO, the Capacity-weighted EFORd for all Generators subject to market power mitigation measures for the 2001-2002 Winter Capability Period Auction is 7.04%.

The main focus will be Southwest Asia and the Indian Ocean, including the steps both countries are taking to respond to the Soviet thrust into Afghanistan. In addition, these talks will permit exchanges on Southeast Asia, East-West issues in Europe, global interdependence issues (arms control, energy, and food/population, environment) and bilateral issues. Zhang's visit, March 13-23, is part of a broad range of consultations which the two governments have held since the normalization of US-PRC relations fourteen months ago. It also provides the opportunity to continue discussions begun during Secretary of Defense Harold Brown's visit to China in January.

I suggest you not to worry much. All these given thoughts are just normal for every person like you. You are obsessive. That is all. These are called obsessive thoughts. Brain (mind) is made for its own functions and its duty is to think. Therefore you cannot stop it from thinking. But you definitely can control the way it thinks by diverting its attention to more demanding things. Creative thinking should help brain diverting. If you try to forcefully overcome obsessive thoughts, it will come back every now and then and disturb you more vehemently. Rather, this is just disappointment. Disappointment which arises out of unforeseen life events do bring such symptoms like sadness, irritation, anger, lethargy, lack of interest, lack of appetite etc. Please understand this fact and make sure to introspect. Talking to your friends, out door activities and being creative should give you relief. Find the reason for your disappointment and consult a psychologist if need be.

If you attempt pregnancy now, most likely you will require insulin right from the beginning as pregnancy itself causes a diabetes like state which becomes more manifested in people who are already diabetic. Also you may need higher doses than in previous pregnancy. If the sugars are well controlled throughout the pregnancy then there should not be any issues for you as well as the baby. Everything depends upon the sugar levels. If they are controlled there are no risks. A proper diabetic diet and regular exercise will help keep the sugars down.

Secretary Kissinger: Mr. Vice Premier, I think the President's statement was a very good one. I think we should not have any formal statements. We should just have a discussion. The President: I would just like to say, Mr. Vice Premier, that we have a full agenda today. We have the Soviet Union, Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, and Angola. I thought we could have a general discussion on these subjects. I would be very glad to have you lead off the discussion. Vice Premier Teng: I think I should make a brief statement on the Soviet Union, and then we can have a general discussion. The President: That would be very good. United States, and encouragement to France to establish diplomatic relations with China. Observations and comments on the matters we discussed yesterday. Vice Premier Teng: I think in your conversation with Chairman Mao yesterday we almost covered all the international issues. And yesterday our two sides talked about the strategy and tactics against the Soviet Union. And during the meeting with Chairman Mao yesterday afternoon, Mr. President, you also discussed with the Chairman the strategy regarding the Soviet Union. We have noticed that it seems recently the Soviet Union has adopted a tougher position -- a fiercer position. And I believe that Mr. Secretary made a statement with regard to the problems in Angola and a warning to the Soviet Union. We have also noticed that the Soviet Union has given a tit-for-tat response. Flaunting the banner of supporting the national liberation forces of the oppressed peoples, the Soviet Union is using this banner as a cover for gaining access to strategic ports in many places. And, of course, this has something to do with Soviet domestic politics because in February the 25th Party Congress will be held. And the agenda for that Party Congress has been adopted in which Brezhnev will make a political report. And Kosygin is going to make the report on the five-year economic plan. It is worth it to pay attention to the response of the Soviet Union with regard to the problems of Angola. In effect, in plain language it is their belief that detente should not prevent the Soviet Union from seeking hegemony. The President: Mr. Vice Premier, I agree we covered a great deal of territory in our discussions with the Chairman yesterday. And in our talks I went into the things that the United States has done and is doing in our efforts to meet the expansionist efforts of the Soviet Union. And I noticed as you did that Mr. Brezhnev and Mr. Kosygin are going to make two significant talks at their Party Congress. Would it be appropriate for me to ask if you are sending a delegation to their Congress? (Laughter) Vice Premier Teng: I went to Moscow seven times. I know almost all of the old-age leaders in the Soviet Union -- of course, except those of relatively young age. As the Chairman told you yesterday, there is not a single time in our dealings with the Soviet Union that our minds have met. The President: That is encouraging. (Laughter) Vice Premier Teng: In 1963 I led a Chinese delegation to Moscow, and that was our last delegation. But even then we didn't give up hope. When Khrushchev fell and Brezhnev took power in 1964, the Premier went to the celebration of the October Revolution anniversary to see if there was any change there. When the Premier arrived in Moscow the first sentence he heard from the Soviet leaders was that the policies of the Khrushchev time would not change. So Premier Chou did not fulfill his original itinerary and came back earlier than planned. To speak frankly -- and I hope that it will not offend you -- in the dealings with the Soviet Union, perhaps we are a little more experienced than you. The President: Let me say, Mr. Vice Premier, we have had some experience in dealing with them and we met and challenged them in a number of cases as I indicated yesterday, and we will continue to do so. But I think it would be helpful in this frank talk with you if you could indicate the various places and ways -- whether in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, or Africa -- what your country is doing to meet this challenge so we can better understand how we can act in parallel. Vice Premier Teng (with some visible tension in his face): We have done only two things: One is to make preparations for ourselves -- to make solid down-to-earth preparations. Second, we fire some empty cannons. The empty cannons include encouragement to Japan to strengthen its relations with the United States, and encouragement to France to establish diplomatic relations with China. have similar concerns about the Soviet Union and are also looking to the United States for support and strength. We believe that the United States is a key player in maintaining global stability and balance of power. The President: We also believe that our alliance with Europe and Japan is essential in dealing with the Soviet Union. We do not see ourselves as the only country responsible for maintaining peace and stability, but we do have a major role to play. Vice Premier Teng: We agree with that. And we believe that the United States should continue to strengthen its ties with its allies and work together to address global challenges. We also hope that the United States will continue to take a responsible and cautious approach in international affairs. The President: We appreciate your perspective and we are committed to working with our allies to maintain peace and stability in the world. We also believe that our relationship with China is an important factor in achieving this goal. Vice Premier Teng: We also value our relationship with the United States and hope to continue to strengthen and develop it in the future. The President: Thank you for your frank and open discussion. We look forward to continuing our dialogue and cooperation with China. Vice Premier Teng: Thank you, Mr. President. We also look forward to further communication and cooperation with the United States. tries are relatively developed, and because the Soviet Union is also developed. In comparison, Southeast Asia and Africa are relatively easy to handle. The President: We have this view that the Soviet Union is a great power and we are a great power. We should deal with each other as equals and on a basis of mutual respect for each other's interests. We think that the Soviet Union has been trying to gain an advantage over us in various parts of the world. We think that the Soviet Union is trying to gain an advantage over us in Europe. We think that the Soviet Union is trying to gain an advantage over us in the Middle East. We think that the Soviet Union is trying to gain an advantage over us in Africa. We think that the Soviet Union is trying to gain an advantage over us in Southeast Asia. We think that the Soviet Union is trying to gain an advantage over us in Latin America. We think that the Soviet Union is trying to gain an advantage over us in the Caribbean. We think that the Soviet Union is trying to gain an advantage over us in several parts of the world. We think that it is necessary to deal with the Soviet Union as a great power. We think that it is necessary to deal with the Soviet Union as a great power. We think that it is necessary to deal with the Soviet Union as a great power. We think that it is necessary to deal with the Soviet Union as a great power. The President: The countries in Western Europe have no need whatsoever to worry. They have been told explicitly that we have not only the capabilities but also the will to fight for the countries of Western Europe. SECRET/SENSITIVE After all, we have advised some of our allies to strengthen their ties with us, and we have also told Japan and Thailand to strengthen their ties with you. We are also concerned about Soviet influence in Laos and its potential effects on Southeast Asia. Vice Premier Teng: Yes, that is a concern for us as well. However, the Soviet Union can only exert so much influence. As I mentioned earlier, the Europeans have two main worries. Firstly, they are concerned about the growing talks of detente between the United States and the Soviet Union, and fear that they may be left out of any deals made. Secondly, they are worried about domestic issues, particularly the rise of leftist forces. The President: This was one of the main reasons for our meeting at Rambouillet. The six countries - four from Western Europe, Japan, and ourselves - met to coordinate our economic plans. We believe that if our economic recoveries are not coordinated and moving ahead at a reasonable rate, it could potentially strengthen leftist forces. However, we are confident in the progress of our economic recoveries, and there was a consensus at Rambouillet that many of our economic plans were coordinated. Vice Premier Teng: Regarding the issue I raised earlier, I would also like to suggest that if the United States' relations with the Soviet Union continue to cause worry among Western European countries, and if they feel that they are not in an important position, then their role in detente with the Soviet Union may become too excessive. This could potentially lead to a situation where the Soviet Union can easily disintegrate the European countries one by one, and ""Finlandize"" them. SECRET/SENSITIVE After all, the United States holds an important position both politically and economically, and any tactics used in our relations with the Soviet Union could greatly affect Western Europe and Japan. This could create a favorable situation for the Soviet Union to further its agenda. The President: Mr. Vice Premier, you should not have any concerns about our attitude towards the Soviet Union. The Secretary of State regularly meets with Ministers from four Western European countries to coordinate our diplomatic efforts and other matters. We are working together and our detente with the Soviet Union will not compromise this coordination. Secretary Kissinger (interrupting): We meet secretly once a month to coordinate plans for Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Yugoslavia. We are even making joint plans for common action regarding Yugoslavia. However, we do not announce these meetings to spare the feelings of others. We will be meeting again next week in Brussels. Vice Premier Teng: We believe that the top priority should be for the United States to pay more attention to Europe. It is a difficult issue, as the European countries are relatively developed and the Soviet Union is also a developed country. In comparison, Southeast Asia and Africa are relatively easier to handle. The President: We view the Soviet Union as a great power, and we must deal with them as equals and with mutual respect for each other's interests. However, we also believe that the Soviet Union is trying to gain advantage over us in various parts of the world, including Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. We must deal with them as a great power, but also be aware of their attempts to gain advantage over us. against the Communists. We are interested in helping them in any way we can. But there is no doubt that they are a strong nation. Vice Premier Teng: This is our common view. The President: Yes, we are in agreement on this point. Our focus is on Europe, but we have different opinions and there is not complete agreement. The Soviet Union is paying more attention to Europe and we have no objections to the reunification of Germany. We are working closely with our allies in Western Europe to strengthen their capabilities and we are also helping to strengthen anti-Communist forces in Portugal. We also recognize the importance of helping Yugoslavia, as they are a strong nation and can fight against the pro-Soviet forces. can comment. We are watching the situation in Syria very closely. Our Ambassador there has been very helpful to us in giving us his analysis of the situation. He believes that Syria has not yet made a decision to move closer to the Soviet Union. They are still on the fence. It is important that we do everything we can to encourage them to stay on the fence. Vice Premier Teng: I believe that is the case, but we must watch closely. The President: We agree. Secretary Kissinger: We agree with that assessment. The President: The Secretary of State and I have discussed this at length, and we are in complete agreement. We will do everything we can to keep Syria on the fence. Vice Premier Teng: It is not easy. The President: We know that, and we are aware of that. Vice Premier Teng: It is not easy for us either. We have our own problems. If we don't pay attention, the Soviet Union will take advantage of the situation. Secretary Kissinger: We are also trying to keep the Soviet Union out of Lebanon. Vice Premier Teng: Yes, that is very important. The President: We are working with our European friends to keep the Soviet Union out of Lebanon. As you know, the Soviet Union has been trying to get into Lebanon. We are working with our European friends to keep the Soviet Union out of Lebanon. And we are also working with our European friends to help the Lebanese government. We are trying to get other countries to help the Lebanese government. We are trying to get other countries to help the Lebanese government, and we are trying to get other countries to help the Lebanese government.

We are trying to get other countries to help the Lebanese government. Vice Premier Teng: In our opinion, the Lebanese government is not strong enough to keep the Soviet Union out. The President: That is true. We are trying to help the Lebanese government, and we are trying to get other countries to help the Lebanese government. Vice Premier Teng: That is very good. The President: Now, Mr. Vice Premier, do you have any questions or comments about the Middle East? Vice Premier Teng: No, I have no questions. The President: Well, we will continue to watch the situation in the Middle East. Vice Premier Teng: Yes. The President: We will continue to work with our European friends to keep the Soviet Union out of Lebanon. And we will continue to work with our European friends to help the Lebanese government. And we will continue to work with our European friends to help the Lebanese government. Vice Premier Teng: We must also pay attention to the situation in the Arabian Peninsula. The Soviet Union is trying to get into that area as well. The President: We are aware of that, and we are watching that. Vice Premier Teng: And the Soviet Union is also trying to get into the Persian Gulf. The President: Yes, we are aware of that, and we are watching that very closely. Vice Premier Teng: We must pay attention to that. The President: We are paying attention to that. Vice Premier Teng: Yes. The President: We are aware of that. We are watching that very closely. SECRET/SENSITIVE ""speak. We have been disturbed about Somalia. There is some evidence that it may not be as big a problem as we thought; but Somalia, if it stays with the Soviet Union, could cause serious military problems in that area. Secretary Kissinger: In the Middle East, Mr. Vice Premier, we look at the various countries. We have a good relationship with President Assad. He has a complicated domestic situation. Some of his advisers, including the Foreign Minister, are closer to the Soviet Union than he is. But they are very suspicious of the Soviet Union, and they are using it only for military equipment. They are not a satellite of the Soviet Union. In fact, I am quite confident that when we are prepared to move in Syria, we can do to the Soviet Union in Syria what we did to the Soviet Union in Egypt. But we cannot take decisive action in Syria — to speak here among friends -- until after our elections. But we will take decisive action some time after that. So we must give Assad some face-saving formulas for the next ten months; that is why we supported his resolution in the U.N. But on the other hand, we must not get pushed too hard in the Security Council debate in January, because it is an empty victory to get a resolution for the Arabs if our domestic support for this policy in the Middle East is eroded. We don't want that kind of a situation to exist in the next ten months. So we will, of course, have a bland resolution. You might keep this in mind in the Security Council. But our direction is clear, and President Assad understands it. He just sent a message to President Ford thanking him for our recent action in support of his position. With respect to Iraq, we brought great pressure on them in combination with Iran and other countries while they were very pro-Soviet. Partly as a result of this pressure, and partly because the Soviet Union seems unable to gain political support without an army of occupation, Iraq is moving away somewhat from the Soviet Union. We have many unofficial contacts with them, and I expect our relations will improve over the next year. With respect to South Yemen, we again have a combination of pressure from Oman and somewhat from Saudi Arabia. I met with their Foreign Minister at the U.N. and we agreed to open diplomatic relations. We are only waiting for Saudi Arabia to do it first, so that the wrong impression is not created. Somalia: The Soviet Union has military bases, as you know. But we are working — and you can help perhaps also with the Organization of African Unity -- and we will use the influence of Saudi Arabia. In Somalia, influence usually means money. The Soviet Union has put much military equipment into Libya. This is the most dangerous situation right now. And we think that Egypt will look after that in some period of time. We will have about ten months of a defensive policy, but after that we will move decisively. But we can oppose Soviet actions as they are afraid of war in the Middle East, and because they can't achieve anything in the Middle East without our cooperation. As the President said yesterday to the Chairman, he will not have a period of stagnation, and it will be evident we will be working with both our hands. Vice Premier Teng: In the past, I talked to some of your American friends -- I don't remember if I told this to Doctor: The greatest reality in the Middle East is that there are 3 million Israelis fighting against 120 million Arabs. In this regard, the position of the United States has some advantages, but also considerable disadvantages. The Soviet Union has a lot of openings they can squeeze into. Secretary Kissinger: But they can't produce anything — they can only talk. Vice Premier Teng: It is important to pay attention to the national sentiment of the Arabs. SECRET/SENSITIVE The President: I am sending a personal friend as Ambassador to Nepal, Mrs. Maytag. Secretary Kissinger: This shows the significance we attach to Nepal. Vice Premier Teng: It is necessary to help Nepal. The Nepalese are a nation that can fight. Nepal isn't Sikkim or Bhutan. So much about the issue of South Asia. Now to Southeast Asia? SECRET/SENSITIVE . os DECLASSIFIED a oe _Autoy MAD £79,520) PRODUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES — : By CAP 124 drielisler SECRET/SENSITIVE 18 Just now Mr. President discussed the situation in Southeast Asia. As far as Southeast Asia as a whole is concerned, we feel that the situation there is relatively good. Three Indochinese countries have different attitudes. The attitude of Cambodia is relatively good. Undoubtedly the Soviet Union will increase its influence in Vietnam and Laos. But we also believe that it is not such a simple thing for a nation which has fought three wars to forget its independence so lightly. But the possibility should not be ruled out that the Soviet Union will try by every means to get the bases in Cam Ranh Bay which you so painstakingly established. (Laughter) The President: You may have noticed that the Secretary of State in Detroit last week opened the door a crack as far as Vietnam is concerned. Vice Premier Teng: Yes, we have noticed. It is beneficial to have dealings with the Soviet Union over a long period of time. And we also believe that someday India will eventually rebel against the Soviet Union. Because the deeper the Soviet involvement, the more problems they (the client state) will confront. We know very well the way the Soviet Union is doing things. The salient characteristic of the Soviet Union is that it is very stingy. Anything it supplies will have some political conditions attached. Secretary Kissinger: On the other hand, gratitude is not a characteristic India is famous for. The combination of these two factors is likely to produce some tensions. Vice Premier Teng: The Soviet Union at present is pushing its collective security system in Asia, and particularly in Southeast Asia. I believe it will not succeed; even Vietnam will not agree to it. As to the five countries in ASEAN, they are very clear about it. The President: We are totally opposed to it. Vice Premier Teng: Because it is primarily those countries which are concerned. Those which accepted it would become the victims of the so-called collective security in Asia. Even India does not dare to give open support to the Soviet proposal. SECRET/SENSITIVE av a ay a ae eas : NINND G7d5 we teat De en , euhioniy 20 REPRODUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES — : By CAP 124 drielisler SECRET/SENSITIVE 19 The President: In my visit to Indonesia and the Philippines, I will make this very clear. We are vigorously opposed to it. Secretary Kissinger: But it warrants attention that India has a treaty with the Soviet Union, and India wants to establish treaties with these countries. Vice Premier Teng: We have seen that India is making efforts to sell the so-called collective security system of Asia, but to no avail. Their Vice President has made a round of trips to Southeast Asian countries especially for this purpose. We have established diplomatic relations with a majority of the ASEAN countries. Indonesia does not have good relations with us, but we are in no hurry. The President: When I am in Indonesia, we will speak very forcefully to them concerning this effort. Vice Premier Teng: It seems not to be easy for the time being. The diplomatic relations between our two countries were suspended in 1965. And that (situation) also involves several million Chinese descendants. As far as China is concerned, we are willing to improve relations with Indonesia, but we have patience. Finally, we may discuss the issue of Angola. Actually this issue was already discussed in Mr. President's conversation with Chairman Mao. We hope that through the work of the two sides we can both bring about a better situation there. Secretary Kissinger: We have been effective in getting South Africa out of Zambia, but not out of Angola. We can try to work on Zambia to allow transshipment through their territory, but it may be difficult due to their strong stance on Zimbabwe and South Africa. We will continue to look for ways to help through the southern front. SECRET/SENSITIVE 22 Vice Premier Teng: But you should give greater help in the north too. As far as I know, you have many ways to help. Also through third countries. . The President: We have and will. Vice Premier Teng: Good. Secretary Kissinger: We are working with France. They will send some equipment and training. The President: I just approved before I left Washington $35 million more above what we have done before; and that is on its way as I understand it. Vice Premier Teng: It is worth spending more money on that problem. Because that is a key position of strategic importance. The President: Yes. They have an important port; and their natural resources are vital. Vice Premier Teng: So should we call it a morning and continue our talks tomorrow? We spent two and a half hours making a round the world trip. The President: It has been very beneficial and encouraging to work with you, Mr. Vice Premier, to be very frank, and to see how our interests are similar in many, many areas of the world. Vice Premier Teng: We have said we have many things in common. Secretary Kissinger: What should we say to the press? Vice Premier Teng: We may say that we have continued significant discussions on a wide range of international issues. Secretary Kissinger: All right. Vice Premier Teng: We will see you tomorrow.

Were I treating you, I would suggest tablet montelukast and levocetirizine daily at least for 2-3 months.2. I would also start inhaler formoterol and budesonide in low dose daily for at least 2-3 months.3. Simultaneously, I would suggest you regular steam inhalation and warm saline gargles to hasten the healing process.4. Once you have no longer episodes of cough & chest complaints, I would plan to reduce your medications gradually.5. As you are working in a bakery, I would specially suggest you to cover your nose and mouth with a mask while working. If possible, you could take steps (like keeping window open) to improve ventilation in the area where you work.6. In general, I would suggest you to avoid exposure to dusts, smokes and air pollution. Regular breathing exercises and a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals (e.g., adequate amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits, sprouts, etc) will definitely help you in a long run.7. I would suggest you allergy testing, which will help you identifying substances causing troubles to you and also measures to avoid them.8. If above measures do not help, personally I would suggest you spirometry to know your lung capacity and identify type of lung problem you have.Hope above suggestions will help you.Regarding your main question, I would say, Asthma, if cannot be cured, can be very well controlled by regular medications without affecting your daily life. If allergy testing identifies some allergen, you may be prescribed specific allergen immunotherapy, which can change your immune system to improve your asthma. Also, if daily exposure to bakery dust (including yeast, wheat flour, egg, other dusts) is the cause of your symptoms, avoiding bakery dust will help you a lot.I must also mention that it takes long time to develop allergies and asthma. So no matter you have tolerated bakery dusts so far, may be it is now increasing your symptoms (it's known as Baker's asthma, you can read on internet).Should you have any further query, please fell free to ask at HCM.Wish you the best of the health.Thank you & Regards.",Confidential "FANTASY FOOTBALL 2000 It is coming up on that time again.

I consulted a doctor and got the following tests done- USG whole abdomen, Creatinine, Lipid profile, Thyroid, Urine Culture and Routine. The usg shows collection of fluid behind the uterus as told to me by the doctor who checked thye reports. He prescribed me Taxim. After taking those tablets the pain reduced but it is not completely curing. Please suggest..i m worried very much. Thanku Reena Pandey Hi Reena,Thanks for your query.The commonest causes of little fluid in the narrow pouch (called Pouch of Douglas) between the rectum and uterus. A small amount of free fluid in the Pouch of Douglas is completely normal, and may just be an indicator of where a woman is in her menstrual cycle. The Pouch of Douglas typically holds a bit of fluid immediately after ovulation monthly. This fluid dissipates on its own as a woman continues on her cycle, and reappears during the next month's cycle.However, an infection of the peritoneal cavity can also cause fluid to build up in the pouch of Douglas. Infection is usually due to gonorrhea, fungal and trichomonal organisms.Common causes of fluid in the pouch are :-* irritable bowel syndrome* ovarian cysts* Pelvic inflammatory diseaseI personally feel that Taxim or, preferably Azithromycin should be given along with anti-fungal (such as Fluconazole) + anti-amebic drug, such as metronidazole, tinidazole or secnidazole. Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable treatment as advised.If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” rating to my answer, to encourage all doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

TANAI: IT COULD BE SAID THAT THE AMOUNT OF ARMS AND THE NUMBER OF ARMED CARAVANS TOGETHER WITH MATERIAL SUPPLIES SENT TO THE REBELS INCREASED BY SOME 30 PERCENT COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS MONTH. RECENTLY THERE HAS ALSO BEEN AN INCREASE IN SUPPLIES TO REBEL BASES LOCATED IN THE BORDER REGION. THE REBELS' ANTI-STATE PROPAGANDA HAS ALSO INTENSIFIED. THE OPPOSITION OFTEN SHELLS TOWNS AND SETTLEMENTS, AND MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE AND RECENTLY A LARGE NUMBER OF CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED. ALTHOUGH THE OPPOSITION FORCES ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE UNITY IN THEIR OPERATIONS AGAINST THE STATE, THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED. IT SHOULD ALSO BE SAID THAT EVEN THE COMMANDERS OF THE REBELS, WHOSE UNITS ARE FACING A BATTLE ON THE TERRITORY OF AFGHANISTAN, CANNOT REACH AN AGREEMENT ON UNITY. AS REGARDS THE THEORETICAL QUESTIONS OF UNITY, NOT EVEN THEIR LEADERS, THAT IS TO SAY THE ""ALLIANCE OF THE SEVEN"" CAN HELP THEM IN THIS.

TEXT: ((TEXT)) DANAS: THEY NEVERTHELESS CAME VERY CLOSE TO SOME TOWNS, THEY EVEN OCCUPIED SOME OF THEM TEMPORARILY. TANAI: IT IS IMPORTANT TO STRESS THAT AFTER THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE LIMITED CONTINGENT OF SOVIET UNITS FROM AFGHANISTAN, OUR ARMED FORCES DISPLAYED THE ABILITY TO CONDUCT INDEPENDENT AND SUCCESSFUL MILITARY OPERATIONS. WE ACHIEVED POSITIVE RESULTS. THE PLANS OF THE REBELS TO OCCUPY VARIOUS PARTS OF OUR COUNTRY FAILED THANKS TO THE ACTIONS OF OUR ARMY. THEY SUSTAINED SERIOUS LOSSES AND A LARGE AMOUNT OF WEAPONS AND COMBAT AND OTHER EQUIPMENT WAS CAPTURED. THE ARMY PRESENTED ITSELF IN ITS BEST LIGHT BY DISPLAYING COURAGE AND ENDURANCE. AS YOU KNOW, THE REBELS STATED THAT AFTER THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE LIMITED CONTINGENT OF THE SOVIET ARMY THEY WILL CAPTURE TOWNS SUCH AS JALALABAD AND GHAZNI. I CAN ALSO MENTION THE EXAMPLE OF THE GARRISON IN THE TOWN OF KHOST ((SPELLING OF NAME AS PUBLISHED -- FBIS}). IN KHOST THERE ARE ONLY THE UNITS OF OUR ARMY AND THEY ARE SUPERBLY CARRYING OUT THEIR DEFENSE DUTIES. THE SAME APPLIES TO KANDAHAR, PAKTIA PROVINCE, AND KABUL. THE ROAD BETWEEN THE BORDER AND KABUL AND JALALABAD IS OPEN. TRANSPORT VEHICLES ARE MAKING THEIR WAY WITHOUT ANY DIFFICULTIES. DANAS: IT WAS IN FACT ON THAT ROAD THAT SEVERAL DAYS AGO A GROUP OF JOURNALISTS HAD PROBLEMS. THEY WERE ALL WOUNDED. TANAI: YES, THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPEN. THIS IS A RESULT OF REBELS' MEAN TACTICS, OF AMBUSH ATTACKS, MINES ON THE ROAD. THE REBELS, EVEN WHEN THEY ACHIEVE SOME INSIGNIFICANT SUCCESSES, TRY TO MAKE THEM SOUND LIKE GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS AND VICTORIES. I WANT TO STRESS THAT WE ARE PREPARING OUR ARMED FORCES TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETELY INDEPENDENTLY CARRY OUT ALL COMBAT TASKS AFTER THE COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL OF SOVIET TROOPS FROM AFGHANISTAN. WE ARE CONSOLIDATING OUR POSITIONS AND GARRISONS, AND ARE STRENGTHENING THE LEVEL OF OUR ARMY'S COMBAT READINESS. OF COURSE, WE ARE ALSO TRYING TO ENSURE SAFE TRAVELING ON OUR ROADS. DANAS: IN YOUR ARMY THERE HAVE BEEN CASES OF DESERTION. ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A GREAT NUMBER AND IS THIS WORRYING? TANAI: THERE ARE DESERTERS IN EVERY ARMY, ESPECIALLY DURING A WAR. WE HAVE THEM TOO, BUT THIS PHENOMENON IS NOT OF THE PROPORTIONS AS PRESENTED IN THE WEST'S MEDIA. TODAY, THE AFGHAN ARMY PERSONNEL IS WELL PREPARED, MORALLY AND POLITICALLY, AND IT HAS GREAT EXPERIENCE. HEY ARE BEING OFFERED A PLACE IN THE POLITICAL LIFE OF THE COUNTRY. DANAS: IN THE COUNTRY THERE ARE REPORTS OF MUTINIES IN THE ARMY. WHAT IS YOUR COMMENT ON THIS? TANAI: THERE ARE NO MUTINIES IN THE ARMY. THERE ARE, HOWEVER, INDIVIDUAL CASES OF VIOLATIONS OF DISCIPLINE AND THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ATTEMPTING TO CREATE PROBLEMS. WE ARE DEALING WITH THESE CASES IN ACCORDANCE WITH MILITARY REGULATIONS. DANAS: WHAT IS THE SITUATION IN KABUL? HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE THERE AND HOW MANY REFUGEES ARE THERE? TANAI: THE POPULATION OF KABUL IS AROUND 1.5 MILLION PEOPLE. THE NUMBER OF REFUGEES IS NOT KNOWN EXACTLY, BUT IT IS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND 100,000 PEOPLE. CONSIDERATIONS UNCLASSIFIED His work is being done by local organs, military commanders, and political workers. Danas: Armed opposition groups are receiving aid from foreign countries? From which country, in your opinion, is the most aid coming from? Tanai: It is difficult to say precisely which country is giving the most aid in arms, but it is not a secret that some Western and Arab countries are sending infantry equipment as well as heavy arms to the rebels. They are receiving anti-aircraft cannons, missiles, ammunition, grenades, various sorts of mines, and so on. Danas: What sort of projectile has recently been used against Kabul causing many casualties among civilians? Tanai: I think that these are Chinese projectiles launched from multi-barrelled missile launchers, but there are also missiles from Western countries and even from certain Arab states. Danas: From which Arab states? Tanai: I would not like to talk about that now. You probably have more information about these missiles. Danas: What do you personally think as defense minister about some leaders of opposition groups, about Masood and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar? Tanai: Gulbuddin Hekmatyar is one of the leaders of the ""Alliance of Seven."" He fled to Pakistan and has been an active counterrevolutionary for several years now. Gulbuddin uses terror and stops at nothing. It is no secret that he is working for the CIA. The same can be said for Ahmadshah Masood. He is one of the main leaders for the formation of groups in the Islamic Society party and operates in the Panjshir Valley and the areas that surround it. Danas: What kind of future do the ""enemies"" offer to Afghanistan? Is it a system of ayatollahs, similar to the Iranian system? Tanai: Some regions of Afghanistan are at the moment under the partial control of the rebels. Here they are carrying out inhumane operations against the local population. However, they cannot come to agreement among themselves even here. An example is the Konarha province where the opposition groups could not reach agreement over the division of power and literally fought each other so that there were many casualties. Danas: That means that you are quite certain that you will survive in power even after the complete evacuation of Soviet soldiers from Afghanistan? Tanai: Our party and our government are striving to resolve the Afghan problem by political means. We are also using military methods but whenever we can, we go for a peaceful solution. An expression of this is our policy of national reconciliation. Since the beginning of the withdrawal of Soviet units, our army has shown that it can successfully carry out independent operations, defend individual garrisons, and secure communications. I believe that even after the departure of Soviet units, our army will be able to carry out the task that has been placed before it. It is true that we have had losses, but this is war and there are losses in war. Losses are inevitable, but the tasks are being carried out. Danas: You said that there are no longer Soviet soldiers in 26 out of 32 provinces in Afghanistan and your army is in control of the situation. However, the mujahideen are here outside Kabul and firing missiles at the town and airport. Tanai: Yes, they are outside Kabul, but they are suffering great losses because we are constantly attacking them with either artillery or by helicopter and airplane. Danas: The opposition groups continue to receive aid from abroad. You say that your army is in control of the situation, but the mujahideen are crossing your border. What do you think of that? Tanai: Our government has proclaimed the border area a peace zone. We did this so that Afghan refugees can freely return home, so that they do not instigate military operations there, and so that some of our units could withdraw into the interior of the country. That is our decision, dictated by both humane and strategic considerations. REASONS. YOU SEE, APART FROM THIS, OPPOSITION GROUPS ARE CARRYING OUT ARMED ACTION IN THIS REGION, IN WHICH CIVILIANS SUFFER. THIS IS THEIR TACTIC BUT WE DO NOT WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUFFERING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE. THEREFORE WE HAVE WITHDRAWN. I WANT TO STRESS TO YOU ONCE AGAIN THAT OUR AIM IS PEACE FOR ALL AFGHAN PEOPLE, PEACE IN THE COUNTRY, AND THE INDEPENDENCE OF AFGHANISTAN. WE WANT TO ACHIEVE THIS THROUGH POLITICAL MEANS BUT IF THIS IS NOT ENOUGH, MILITARY METHODS ALSO EXIST, OF COURSE.

Ambassador Huang: And we have no problem with it. The Secretary: Well, I am glad to hear that. I am very glad to hear that. The President has great respect for Senator Mansfield. He has a great deal of influence. We are very glad to hear this. Ambassador Huang: He is a very good friend of China. The Secretary: I know that. We are very glad to hear this. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE EXCLUSIVELY EYES ONLY The Secretary: We favor it. We think it's a good idea and helpful to Sino-U.S. relations. Ambassador Huang: It's just a question of finding a mutually acceptable and convenient time with the Senator. The Secretary: Will you discuss this with the Senator? (There is discussion among the Chinese.) Ambassador Huang: The Senator has invited the Ambassador to lunch next Tuesday. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE EXCLUSIVELY EYES ONLY DECLASSIFIED Authority WMD 4 D820 {8 L0T— ka NARA Date The Secretary: Good. (There is discussion among the Chinese.) Ambassador Huang: I'd like to ask you a question, What do you think about the political situation in France after the death of President Pompidou? The Secretary: First, despite what some Frenchmen are putting out, we are opposed to Mitterand. The U.S. does not want Mitterand to win. And insofar as we can affect the situation, we will support either Chaban Delmas or D'Estaing. And we will do nothing to embarrass the French government. Now it is our assessment that Mitterand may get the most votes in the first round, but he will not get 50 percent. And there is a good chance in the second round either D'Estaing or Chaban Delmas will get a majority. Ambassador Huang: That's also our view. The Secretary: [I slightly prefer D'Estaing personally -- this is not an official view -- because I think he's more intelligent than Chaban Delmas. We have no significant view on that subject. That's just a personal judgment. We prefer either one to Mitterand. And I'll even let them keep Jobert as Foreign Minister if they want to. (Laughter) Even with that, we'd rather have him than Mitterand win. Ambassador Huang: Personally, I also think either Chaban Delmas or D'Estaing will win, but it is difficult to say at the present time which one will win. The Secretary: The only danger is that the Gaulhists have fought so much among each other that everyone is thinking that Mitterand can't win, and therefore it is safe to vote for him in the first ballot, and that by accident he might get over 50 percent. And in that way, maybe Mitterand could win, but it's not probable -- that is a slight danger. Ambassador Huang: I was in France for some years, and I noted their elections. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE EXCLUSIVELY EYES ONLY The Secretary: I'm not worried about the second ballot -- I'm more worried about the first. Ambassador Huang: Yes. I think there's a point in what you said. We can't completely disregard such a danger. The Secretary: At any rate, you can tell Peking that the U.S., insofar as we can do anything to affect the elections, will be anti-Mitterand strongly. Ambassador Huang: Well, I know you are very busy, so I will leave now. (As the Chinese were leaving, the Secretary asked if the Ambassador was well settled in town, and he said that he was.)",Restricted "Report on Hearing Today The court held a hearing today on the motion by some of the plaintiffs for an order regarding the preservation of documents. The motions were directed primarily to Arthur Andersen and, to a lesser degree, to Enron. None of your names were mentioned at the hearing. Arthur Andersen and one of the plaintiffs' lawyers had agreed on a proposed order for preserving documents. Other plaintiffs' lawyers said that the agreed order was not stringent enough. With respect to Enron, there is some doubt as to whether the court can enter any order regarding Enron, because that may be the exclusive purview of the bankruptcy court. Although the issue of which attorney should be appointed lead counsel was not technically before the court, most of the hearing was consumed with the various plaintiffs' lawyers arguing that the court should select them to be lead counsel. The court said that it would not rule on the motion regarding preservation of documents until after 3:00 tomorrow. All of the plaintiffs' lawyers are to get together in the next 24 hours to see if they can agree amongst themselves as to what they want the court to do. The court said she would also consider whether Arthur Andersen was willing to agree to whatever order plaintiffs' all might agree upon. The judge suggested that she would be selecting the lead plaintiff (and counsel) within the next few weeks.",Public Just had a MRI saying L4/5 disc level has a moderate size central disc protrusion which is associated with indentation of the thecal sac and compression of the subarticular bilaterally and contact with both the L5 nerves.

The Political Journal of Gorbachev's responses to written questions on international trends and Soviet reform is unprecedented in China, though it caps a trend towards positive academic and press assessments of Gorbachev's program. Some specialists point to first-time evidence of low-key Soviet pressure on Vietnam to withdraw from Cambodia. Beijing's move thus seems intended to signal approval of the general direction Gorbachev is taking, highlight the potential for cooperation, and smoke out his real intentions regarding Beijing's strategic interests. On the domestic angle, the publication of the Soviet assessment that detente lies ahead and that radical reform is essential and inevitable helps legitimize the views of Beijing's reformers as they prepare major reform plans. Zhao Ziyang's protege, Vice Premier Tian Jiyun, was cited by Xinhua on January 10, well after Gorbachev was interviewed, as stressing how much Beijing and Moscow could learn from exchanging experiences on reforming the central planning system. His remarks hint at upgrading the level of contacts in economic and reform matters, while holding fast on Chinese prerequisites for political normalization with Moscow.

Or have you met an orthopedic surgeon? As post the recovery due to the weakness of the quadriceps muscles this symptoms of cracking sounds are normal, by strengthening the muscles of the knee your problem should be solved. Also, an input from the orthopedic surgeon using a clinical examination and also the MRI will help to plan the further rehabilitation.As you are basket ball player your lower limbs have to be really stronger to get the torque in the muscles to jump for your goal.

I would suggest you to consult dentist once and get IOPA( X-RAY) done to check extent of infection as there could be chances of bone involvement is there. Go for extraction of tooth and any surgical procedure/restorative procedure if required. Yes you should take Fluoxacillin to avoid any infection.

The Vice Presidential contest figures are running way behind these presidential candidates, with the latest available (Embtel 876) showing: Roxas - 612,834 Lopez - 530,896 Manahan - 95,838 3. In Senate races, the Nacionalistas are leading 5 to 3 according to PPI. The Liberals are leading in the House 42 to 32. 4. COMMENT: It is apparent that as indicated in Embtel 877 (briefed separately), a great bulk of returns is being delayed, particularly from LP areas. It is too early to say whether this is legitimate delay or whether the delay is intentional. (We had a fairly reliable report earlier this week that 400,000 extra LP ballots were being prepared at Peralta's direction: 200,000 in Luzon and 200,000 in Mindanao.) 5. In this connection, 43 Philippine provinces are governed by Liberals (with the local administration generally in Liberal hands) and 13 by Nacionalistas. Of the cities, 22 have Liberal mayors and 14 have Nacionalista mayors.

Sign up for one of the most worthwhile organizations at Haas. Join Challenge for Charity TODAY! WHAT IS CHALLENGE FOR CHARITY? Challenge for Charity (otherwise known as C4C), is our official philanthropic endeavor where Haas, along with 5 other major west coast business schools, raises money for Special Olympics. Haas' chapter of C4C donates significant sums of money and volunteer hours to Special Olympics every year. In previous years we've raised as much as $70,000 for Special Olympics and we hope that this year will be just as successful!!! C4C is one of the largest organizations at Haas and plays a major role in organizing almost all of the most popular student functions including the Halloween Ball, Ski Weekend, Charity Auction, Talent Show, Sports Weekend at Stanford, and much more. Stop by our booth at Club Night this Thursday 9/5 from 5pm to 8pm to get more involved with any of these fantastic events! WHAT DO I GET WITH MY C4C MEMBERSHIP? As an Evening MBA student, your C4C membership dues are only $150! Not only does your membership support a fabulous cause, it also entitles you to so many great benefits including a really cool new baseball cap and free access to some of the most popular social events at Haas! Ticket prices for non-C4C members typically range about $40 per person for EACH of our most popular events. This means that your membership brings you a ton of fun at significant savings! Anyone who has attended any of our events can tell you that this is a deal! So, sign up today! CAN MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER JOIN C4C TOO? As you may have noticed, significant others are just as much a part of the Haas family as the students, so don't forget your significant other is eligible for C4C membership as well. We realize that significant others are not always able to attend as many events as Haas students, so significant others' membership dues are only $75. That means you and your honey can join for a mere $225! If your S.O. can only attend two of our many events, it will more than cover the cost of his/her membership! HOW DO I SIGN UP? To join C4C, simply submit a check payable to Challenge for Charity indicating the name(s) of the new C4C member(s). Please place your checks in Linda Ng's mailbox in the MBA Lounge at Haas or stop by the C4C table at Club Night this Thursday 9/5 from 5pm to 8pm. We will also be holding a membership drive during the coming weeks, so look for us in the Haas courtyard during break. Remember that membership is only $150 per Haas student and only $75 for Haas significant others. WHAT IF I'M ALREADY A MEMBER? C4C membership is only for the academic year, so if you joined C4C last year, you must sign up again this year. If you've already joined C4C this year, you need to pick up your brand-spanking new baseball cap. Please stop by the C4C table at Club Night this Thursday or during our membership drive at break during the coming weeks. Thank you for supporting C4C and the Special Olympics!

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. No, this value does now suggest active tuberculosis. These are antibodies against tuberculosis. They can be present if child is vaccinated with BCG vaccine in past. So borderline positive antibodies don't suggest TB. Simple viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is the most common cause for cervical Lymphadenopathy in children. So give him treatment for URTI for 1 week. His swellings will mostly reduced. Don't start anti tubercular drugs on this report. Give him plenty of fluids orally. Avoid oily and spicy food. Warm water gargles 5-6 times a day is also beneficial. Don't worry, he will be alright.

Bruce said that the Secret Service had done the same thing for the previous visit of a PRC Foreign Minister, Chen Yi. Huang Chen said that the PRC had not been aware of it. The PRC cars were not checked on the previous occasion because they were parked in the open, in front of the White House, and were not left unattended. This time they were checked over because they were left unattended in the garage. The Secret Service did not know that the PRC had left instructions not to touch the cars. The whole thing was a misunderstanding, and the PRC was not very gracious about it. They did not protest to the Secret Service, but they did protest to the White House and State Department.

Can Spondylosis cause this kind of Epileptic fit? If not what should we do now? Hello, . Epilepsy and spondylosis are 2 independent condition not related to each other. Cervical spondylosis wouldn't be causing epilepsy in your father. It is good to know EEG and brain scans were normal. Most often a cause for epilepsy is not found as in the case of your father. However review of his blood tests may help us rule out any missed causes. Meanwhile it is absolutely important to be regular with antiepileptic medications.

CANCIO ALSO TESTIFIED THAT THE BULLET CAME FROM A .357 CALIBER REVOLVER, A WEAPON THAT MORENO WAS KNOWN TO CARRY. A BALLISTIC EXPERT TESTIFIED THAT THE BULLET THAT KILLED AQUINO WAS FIRED FROM A WEAPON SIMILAR TO THAT USED BY MORENO. SECRET SECRET PAGE O4 MANILA 37871 O1 OF O05 0507342 THE DEFENSE CASE a 6. THE DEFENSE ARGUED THAT ROLANDO GALMAN SHOT AQUINO ON ORDERS FROM THE COMMUNIST NEW PEOPLE’S ARMY {NPA). THEY CLAIMED THAT GALMAN'S ASSOCIATION WITH THE COMMUNISTS WAS EVIDENCED BY HIS MURDER OF A CIVILIAN IN 1976. THE DEFENSE ALSO TRIED TO SHOW THAT GALMAN WAS A MEMBER OF THE NPA HIT SQUAD, THE SPARROW UNIT, WHICH SPECIALIZES IN TARGETED ASSASSINATIONS. THE DEFENSE CLAIMED THAT GALMAN WAS ABLE TO ENTER THE PLANE WITH A .357 REVOLVER BECAUSE HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE NPA. THE DEFENSE ALSO TRIED TO IMPLICATE THE JAPANESE RED ARMY (JRA) IN THE ASSASSINATION, BY INTRODUCING EVIDENCE OF A JRA MEMBER'S PRESENCE IN THE PHILIPPINES IN 1983, AND BY CLAIMING THAT THE JRA HAD A MOTIVE TO KILL AQUINO BECAUSE OF HIS SUPPORT FOR THE PALESTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION (PLO). THE DEFENSE ALSO TRIED TO DISCREDIT THE AUDIO RECORDINGS OF THE SHOOTING BY INTRODUCING A TAPE RECORDED BY A JAPANESE TOURIST, WHICH, THE DEFENSE CLAIMED, DISPROVED THE EXISTENCE OF THE SHOUTS CAPTURED ON THE BURTON AND TBS TAPES. THE VERDICT 7. THE SANDIGANBAYAN REJECTED THE PROSECUTION'S CASE, AND EMBRACED THE DEFENSE'S THEORY THAT GALMAN SHOT AQUINO ON ORDERS OF THE COMMUNIST NPA. THE COURT CONCLUDED THAT REBECCA QUIJANO WAS NOT A CREDIBLE WITNESS, AND THAT HER TESTIMONY WAS CONTRADICTED BY THE TESTIMONY OF OTHER WITNESSES. THE COURT ALSO DISMISSED THE AUDIO RECORDINGS AS SECRET SECRET PAGE O5 MANILA 37871 O1 OF O05 0507342 INCONCLUSIVE BECAUSE THEY DID NOT CAPTURE THE SOUNDS OF THE SHOTS. THE COURT REJECTED THE PHOTO CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS ON THE TARMAC, AND CONCLUDED THAT AQUINO WAS ALREADY DEAD WHEN HIS BODY WAS TAKEN TO THE AIRPORT CLINIC. THE COURT ALSO DISMISSED THE BALLISTIC EVIDENCE PRESENTED BY THE PROSECUTION, AND CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO LINK MORENO TO THE KILLING. THE COURT ALSO FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO LINK MORENO TO GALMAN, OR TO THE NPA OR JRA. THE COURT ALSO REJECTED THE ALLEGATION THAT THE ASSASSINATION WAS ORDERED BY THE MILITARY, AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS THEORY. THE COURT ALSO CONCLUDED THAT THE SHOUTS CAPTURED ON THE AUDIO RECORDINGS WERE NOT EVIDENCE OF A CONSPIRACY, AND THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO INDICATE THAT THE SHOUTS WERE CONNECTED TO AQUINO'S DEATH. THE COURT ALSO FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE THEORY THAT THERE WAS A CONSPIRACY TO KILL AQUINO, AND THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO INDICATE THAT THE SHOUTS WERE CONNECTED TO AQUINO'S DEATH. THE COURT ALSO FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THE THEORY THAT THERE WAS A CONSPIRACY TO KILL AQUINO, AND THAT THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE TO INDICATE THAT ANY OF THE ACCUSED WERE INVOLVED IN SUCH A CONSPIRACY. IN CONCLUSION, THE SANDIGANBAYAN ACQUITTED ALL 26 ACCUSED OF THE MURDER OF AQUINO AND GALMAN. SECRET SECRET PAGE O6 MANILA 37871 O1 OF O05 0507342 COMMENT 8. THE SANDIGANBAYAN VERDICT IS A SHOCKING REPUDIATION OF THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED BY THE PROSECUTION, AND A VICTORY FOR THE DEFENSE, THE MILITARY, AND THE GOVERNMENT. THE COURT’S DECISION SHOCKED THE NATION AND SPARKED DEMONSTRATIONS IN MANILA AND OTHER CITIES. THE DECISION IS ALSO LIKELY TO REINFORCE THE GROWING IMPRESSION THAT THE GOVERNMENT IS UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PROSECUTE CRIMES COMMITTED BY THE MILITARY, AND THAT IT IS MORE INTERESTED IN PROTECTING THE MILITARY THAN IN PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE. THE DECISION IS ALSO LIKELY TO UNDERMINE THE CREDIBILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT, AND TO STRENGTHEN THE HAND OF THOSE IN THE MILITARY AND ELSEWHERE WHO ARE OPPOSED TO DEMOCRATIC REFORM. IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, THE DECISION IS ALSO LIKELY TO UNDERMINE THE GOVERNMENT’S EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH A DEMOCRATIC AND JUST SOCIETY, AND TO CREATE A CLIMATE IN WHICH THE PEOPLE FEEL SECURE IN EXPRESSING THEIR VIEWS AND PARTICIPATING IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS. THE DECISION IS ALSO LIKELY TO UNDERMINE THE PEOPLE’S CONFIDENCE IN THE GOVERNMENT, AND TO UNDERMINE THE GOVERNMENT’S ABILITY TO GOVERN EFFECTIVELY. 9. THE SANDIGANBAYAN VERDICT IS ALSO LIKELY TO UNDERMINE THE PEOPLE’S CONFIDENCE IN THE JUDICIARY, AND TO UNDERMINE THE JUDICIARY’S ABILITY THE COURT'S DISMISSAL OF THE WITNESS TESTIMONY OF REBECCA QUIJANO IS NOT SURPRISING, AS SHE WAS THE ONLY EYEWITNESS TO THE ASSASSINATION AND HER TESTIMONY WAS THE STRONGEST EVIDENCE AGAINST THE ACCUSED. HOWEVER, THE COURT'S RELIANCE ON WITNESSES WITH QUESTIONABLE CREDIBILITY AND THE DISMISSAL OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE AND EXPERT TESTIMONY RAISES DOUBTS ABOUT THE IMPARTIALITY AND OBJECTIVITY OF THE SANDIGANBAYAN'S FINDINGS. IT APPEARS THAT THE COURT WAS MORE CONCERNED WITH DISCREDITING QUIJANO'S TESTIMONY IN ORDER TO JUSTIFY ITS DECISION RATHER THAN TRULY SEEKING THE TRUTH. THE SANDIGANBAYAN FINDINGS MAY BE SEEN AS A POLITICAL DECISION RATHER THAN A JUST AND FAIR LEGAL DECISION. THE SANDIGANBAYAN FULLY EMBRACED THE MILITARY'S CONTENTION THAT ROLANDO GALMAN SHOT AQUINO UPON THE ORDERS OF THE COMMUNIST NEW PEOPLES ARMY (NPA). CITING ""INTELLIGENCE FILES,"" BUT WITHOUT ADDUCING ANY EVIDENCE, THE COURT ASSERTED THAT GALMAN HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN EMPLOYED BY THE COMMUNISTS AS A HOLD UP MAN IN CENTRAL LUZON. THE COURT FURTHER SUGGESTED THAT THE NPA KILLED AQUINO TO AVENGE THE DEATHS OF WORKERS ON THE HACIENDA LUISITA, THE TARLAC SUGAR PLANTATION OWNED BY AQUINO'S IN-LAWS, THE COJUANGCO FAMILY. THE COURT CITED DEFENSE TESTIMONY THAT ""IN 1969 THERE WERE SEVERAL EXHUMATIONS IN HACIENDA LUISITA OWNED BY JOSE COJUANGCO (NOTE: JOSE ""PEPING"" COJUANGCO IS THE BROTHER OF CORY AQUINO) AND FAMILY, OF REMAINS OF PERSONS WHO WERE SECRETLY KILLED AND BURIED BECAUSE THE COJUANGCOS... PROMISED THE PEOPLE TO GIVE THEM... THE VERY LOTS THAT THEIR HOUSES WERE OCCUPYING, AND WHEN THIS WAS NOT COMPLIED WITH, THE PEOPLE STARTED TO AGITATE AND THAT WAS WHEN THE KILLINGS STARTED TO HAPPEN."" THE COURT ALSO CITED THE TESTIMONY OF DEFENSE WITNESS RUPERTO SUMAT, WHOSE FATHER WAS ALLEGEDLY KILLED UPON ORDERS OF BENIGNO AQUINO. SUMAT TOLD THE COURT THAT HE WAS APPROACHED IN JULY 1983 BY SOMEONE HE REFUSED TO IDENTIFY WHO SAID THAT AN IMPORTANT PERSON WOULD BE ARRIVING THE FOLLOWING MONTH AND ASKED WHETHER HE WOULD LIKE TO AVENGE THE DEATH OF HIS FATHER. FINALLY, AFTER ABSOLVING THE PRINCIPALS OF GUILT IN THE ACTUAL SHOOTING OF AQUINO, THE COURT ARGUED TAUTOLOGICALLY THAT THERE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN OFFICIAL, HIGH-LEVEL CONSPIRACY BEHIND THE ASSASSINATION. BECAUSE AQUINO WAS SHOT BY GALMAN AND NOT THE SOLDIERS, THE COURT WROTE, THE MONITORING OF AQUINO'S MOVEMENTS PRIOR TO HIS RETURN TO MANILA AND THE ADOPTION OF AN ELABORATE SECURITY PLAN ""APPEAR TO US AS MORE CONSISTENT WITH INNOCENCE RATHER THAN GUILT."" ALL OF THE DEFENDANTS, FROM AQUINO'S SERGEANT-ESCORTS UP TO GENERAL VER, WERE ACTING IN AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY: ""IF PERFORMANCE OF OFFICIAL DUTIES IS WHAT AN AGREEMENT ENVISIONS, CALLING THAT PACT A CONSPIRACY AMOUNTS TO SELF-CONTRADICTION."" THROUGHOUT THE LENGTHY VERDICT, THE JUSTICES MADE FREQUENT REFERENCE TO A CLIMATE OF ""POLITICAL PASSION"" WHICH PREVAILED SINCE THE ASSASSINATION. WITHOUT STATING SO EXPLICITLY, THE COURT IMPLIED THAT THE AGRAVA BOARD'S FINDINGS WERE CONDITIONED BY AN UNWARRANTED PUBLIC CLAMOR FOR THE BLOOD OF THE MILITARY SUSPECTS. ONCE THE TRIAL BEGAN, THE COURT CHARGED THAT UNNAMED ""INSIDIOUS FORCES SHIFTED THEIR ONSLAUGHT TO THE BEDROCK FOUNDATION OF PUBLIC FAITH IN THE ENTIRE JUDICIAL SYSTEM: THE CREDIBILITY OF THE COURT."" THE VERDICT ENDED WITH A PERORATION: ""IT IS TO THE CREDIT OF THE FILIPINO NATION THAT THEY REFUSE TO YIELD TO THE PETULANT URGINGS OF A MISGUIDED FEW TO DESTROY THE HONORED PLACE OF THE JUDICIARY IN A CIVILIZED SOCIETY... FOR THE RULE OF LAW IS NOT AN EMPTY SLOGAN: TO A CIVILIZED NATION, IT IS A WAY OF LIFE, A NATIONAL COMMITMENT TO RENDER INFLEXIBLE OBEISANCE TO THE FUNDAMENTAL PRECEPTS OF FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE."" THE JUSTICES CLOSED BY DRAWING A CURIOUS PARALLEL BETWEEN THE AQUINO TRIAL AND THE FAMOUS DREYFUS AFFAIR, WHERE IN BOTH CASES A LONE GUNMAN WAS RESPONSIBLE. ACTING UPON ORDERS FROM THE COMMUNIST INSURGENTS. ULTED IN NOVEMBER WHEN THE PROSECUTION PRESENTED ITS FINAL ARGUMENTS, BUT HIS PARTICIPATION WAS PURELY COSMETIC. THE REAL WORK WAS DONE BY A LESSER MEMBER OF THE PROSECUTION TEAM, RAUL GONZALES. GONZALES IS A FORMER LAW PARTNER OF FERDINAND MARCOS, AND HIS BROTHER IS A MEMBER OF THE SANDIGANBAYAN. GONZALES' ROLE IN THE PROSECUTION TEAM WAS CLEARLY TO WEAKEN THE CASE AGAINST THE ACCUSED. IN ADDITION TO THE PROSECUTION'S WEAK PRESENTATION OF ITS CASE, THE VERDICT ALSO REFLECTS THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE SANDIGANBAYAN WAS PREPARED TO BEND THE RULES IN ORDER TO ASSIST THE DEFENSE. THE VERDICT'S APPENDIX CONTAINS A LENGTHY TEXT OF A LETTER FROM DEFENSE COUNSEL JIMENEZ TO THE SANDIGANBAYAN REQUESTING THAT THE COURT TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE OF CERTAIN NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS WHICH, JIMENEZ ARGUED, SHOWED THAT THE AGRAVA BOARD WAS BIASED AGAINST THE ACCUSED. THE SANDIGANBAYAN GRANTED THIS REQUEST AND APPENDED THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLES TO ITS DECISION. IN ADDITI ON TO THE NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS, THE SANDIGANBAYAN ALSO APPENDED AS EVIDENCE A SECRET SECRET PAGE 03 MANILA 37871 O4 OF O5 0507382 PHOTOCOPY OF THE LETTER ITSELF. THIS LETTER CONTAINED AN ADDITIONAL, UNRELATED REQUEST, THAT THE SANDIGANBAYAN TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE OF CERTAIN OTHER NEWSPAPER ARTICLES WHICH JIMENEZ ARGUED SHOWED THAT THE AGRAVA BOARD WAS INCOMPETENT. THE SANDIGANBAYAN GRANTED THIS SECOND REQUEST AS WELL AND APPENDED THE SECOND SET OF NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS TO THE FIRST SET WHICH IT HAD APPENDED TO ITS DECISION. THUS THE SANDIGANBAYAN TOOK JUDICIAL NOTICE OF NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS WHICH IT HAD APPENDED TO ITS OWN DECISION. THIS APPARENTLY UNIQUE PROCEDURE ENABLED THE SANDIGANBAYAN TO CITE AS EVIDENCE IN ITS DECISION THE NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS WHICH HAD BEEN APPENDED TO ITS DECISION AS EVIDENCE. THE SANDIGANBAYAN ALSO TOOK JUDICIAL NOTICE OF OTHER NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS WHICH IT HAD NOT APPENDED TO ITS DECISION AS EVIDENCE. THESE ACCOUNTS WERE CITED IN THE DECISION ITSELF AS PROOF THAT THE AGRAVA BOARD WAS BIASED AGAINST THE ACCUSED. IN ADDITION TO THIS BLATANT MISUSE OF EVIDENCE, THE SANDIGANBAYAN ALSO IGNORED THE RULES OF EVIDENCE IN ITS TREATMENT OF THE TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES. IN ITS DECISION, THE SANDIGANBAYAN QUOTED EXTENSIVELY FROM THE TESTIMONY OF WITNESSES WHO WERE PRESENTED BY THE DEFENSE, BUT IT DID NOT QUOTE AT ALL FROM THE TESTIMONY OF PROSECUTION WITNESSES. THE SANDIGANBAYAN ALSO CITED AS PROOF OF THE ACCUSED'S INNOCENCE THE FACT THAT THE PROSECUTION HAD NOT CALLED CERTAIN WITNESSES, BUT IT IGNORED THE FACT THAT THE DEFENSE HAD NOT CALLED THE SAME WITNESSES. IN ADDITION, THE SANDIGANBAYAN IGNORED THE FACT THAT THE PROSECUTION HAD ATTEMPTED TO CALL THESE WITNESSES BUT WAS PREVENTED FROM DOING SO BY THE SECRET SECRET PAGE 04 MANILA 37871 O4 OF O5 0507382 SANDIGANBAYAN ITSELF. THE SANDIGANBAYAN ALSO IGNORED THE FACT THAT THE DEFENSE HAD NOT CALLED AS WITNESSES ANY OF THE SOLDIERS WHO HAD BEEN ASSIGNED TO THE SECURITY DETAIL OF THE ACCUSED ON THE DAY OF THE ASSASSINATION. INSTEAD, THE SANDIGANBAYAN CITED THE ABSENCE OF SUCH WITNESSES AS PROOF THAT THE PROSECUTION HAD FAILED TO PROVE ITS CASE. THE SANDIGANBAYAN ALSO IGNORED THE FACT THAT THE DEFENSE HAD NOT CALLED AS WITNESSES ANY OF THE DOZENS OF JOURNALISTS WHO HAD WITNESSED THE ASSASSINATION. INSTEAD, THE SANDIGANBAYAN CITED THE ABSENCE OF JOURNALISTS AS PROOF THAT THE PROSECUTION HAD FAILED TO PROVE ITS CASE. THE SANDIGANBAYAN ALSO IGNORED THE FACT THAT THE DEFENSE HAD NOT CALLED AS WITNESSES ANY OF THE DOZENS OF PASSERSBY WHO HAD WITNESSED THE ASSASSINATION. INSTEAD, THE SANDIGANBAYAN CITED THE ABSENCE OF PASSERSBY AS PROOF THAT THE PROSECUTION HAD FAILED TO PROVE ITS CASE. THE SANDIGANBAYAN ALSO IGNORED THE FACT THAT THE DEFENSE HAD NOT CALLED AS WITNESSES ANY OF THE DOZENS OF AIRPORT SECURITY GUARDS WHO HAD WITNESSED THE ASSASSINATION. INSTEAD, THE SANDIGANBAYAN CITED THE ABSENCE OF AIRPORT SECURITY GUARDS AS PROOF THAT THE PROSECUTION HAD FAILED TO PROVE ITS CASE. THE SANDIGANBAYAN ALSO IGNORED THE FACT THAT THE DEFENSE HAD NOT CALLED AS WITNESSES ANY OF THE DOZENS OF AIRPORT EMPLOYEES WHO HAD WITNESSED THE ASSASSINATION. INSTEAD, THE SANDIGANBAYAN CITED THE ABSENCE OF AIRPORT EMPLOYEES AS PROOF THAT THE PROSECUTION HAD FAILED TO PROVE ITS CASE. IN ADDITION TO THESE AND OTHER IRREGULARITIES IN THE SANDIGANBAYAN'S TREATMENT OF THE EVIDENCE, THE VERDICT ALSO SECRET SECRET PAGE 05 MANILA 37871 O4 OF O5 0507382 REFLECTS THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE SANDIGANBAYAN WAS PREPARED TO IGNORE ITS OWN RULES IN ORDER TO ASSIST THE DEFENSE.

Thank you. Hello, Thanks for posting your query. This pain came from a cavity that had virtually reached the root. you have to visit dentist for root canal treatment if there is no other cause i.e. fracture. Till then you can apply tea tree oil and a clean medicine dropper. With care, put 3-4 drops of the oil onto the affected tooth/teeth and leave it for at least 30 minutes. Tea tree oil has very good healing and antibacterial properties which would help alleviate the pain and kill the bacteria. You only need about 6-8 tablespoons of salt and about a cup of water. Just wait for the salt to completely dissolve before you gargle the solution for about 1-2 minutes. Repeating the process a few times may be necessary to make the pain subside significantly.

My head sometimes feels like something is moving around. Since Friday my right hand is on pins and needles. I ve been to the cardiologist been hospitalized with many tests run for heart issues with all negative results. My friends said it could be the effects of menopause plus I can t sleep at nights. Help Hi...Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC...I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...The mentioned symptoms in your query relates with menopause, as anxiety is one of the common symptom experienced by women going through this phase. It’s possible for anxiety and stress to cause physical symptoms, like heart palpitations, problem sleeping, cold or sweaty hands and/or feet, feelings of panic, fear, and uneasiness, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet and depression.I will advise you to make necessary changes in your life style like:-Start Exercising-Exercise releases endorphins and tires muscles, both of which drastically reduce your anxiety experience. Exercising, especially jogging is extremely important for managing anxiety.Avoid Stress-Avoiding stress is often easy to say and difficult to do. You can go for Common stress-management therapies like yoga, tai chi, biofeedback, guided imagery, and aromatherapy.Hope this information helps...Thanks & Regards,Dr.Shiwani",Confidential "My 27-year-old daughter, who has Down Syndrome, has puffy toes with purple areas on the tips and top surface.

Contact your doctor and let him/her know what is going on, and get seen at emergency or urgent care. If you are having fevers, this is especially important.

Commonly low potassium, dehydration, low calcium and also low protein level can cause leg and hand cramps. Prednisone if you are using tablet can cause fluid retention and also vary calcium metabolism. So Get checked to these serum electrolyte levels and if abnormal replenish them.

Attached is a breif outline on the NJ Basic Generation Service Standard Offer. - Please read. Although this will have risks regarding capacity, ancillary services, and basis; This may be an excellent means to test the PJM standard offer market, since the minimum size required would be a 100MW slice. The NJ Board of Public Utiltiy is currently shaping the auction process, and our regulatory people have been involved by interventions. Jeff Ader (EES) has been working with regulatory to push that this should be a retail deal (similar to the retail customers that New Power won from PECO) and not a wholesale deal. Is this the message we want to send? I suggested to regulatory that we propose that it should be split as to allow the best pricing for the NJ utilities and for everyone to be able to participate. They suggested that if EES has more interest than EWS (apparently they wish to take 1000MW of this), that we should push the retail. How would retail take the ancillary and capacity risk? Are we set up such that EES would have a better chance of winning this? What is our interest in taking on these exposures?

Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage? Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best.

Japan also hopes that its trade and investment links will give it greater influence over Chinese policies on trade and technology transfer. Beijing, for its part, seeks to encourage Japan to play a more active role in regional security affairs. China would like to see Japan take a more neutral stance between China and the Soviet Union and to reduce its economic ties with Taiwan. Japan's Economic Interests The Japanese Government and private sector are increasingly aware of the potential for conflict with the US over their com- peting economic interests in China. As Japan's trade surplus with the US continues to widen, the US Congress and the Administration are likely to increase pressure on Japan to restrain its exports to the US. In this context, Japan is likely to look to China as an export outlet and as a source of imports, especially for energy and other raw materials. Japanese companies are already investing heavily in China to take advantage of lower labor costs and to avoid US trade barriers. Japan's economic interests in China are also closely tied to its energy security. Tokyo has become increasingly concerned about its dependence on Middle East oil and is seeking to diversify its energy sources. China, with its vast coal and oil reserves, offers Japan an attractive alternative. Tokyo is also interested in exploiting China's offshore oil reserves and is considering offering China technology and capital for exploration and develop- ment. The US Response The US can expect Japan to continue to pursue its economic interests in China, even though this will likely create tensions with the US. Japan will not, however, jeopardize its security relationship with the US to improve its economic ties with China. UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED SECRET -4- Japan's primary security concern is the Soviet military threat, and Tokyo will continue to rely on the US for its security. Japan will seek to minimize the impact of its economic ties with China on its security relationship with the US. The US, in tum, should continue to encourage Japan to play a more active role in regional security affairs and to consult closely with Tokyo on issues involving China. CC — RELEASED UNCLASSIFIED (entire text) NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS (UN) SINO-JAPANESE RELATIONS: GAINING MOMENTUM BUREAU OF Summary INTELLIGENCE Sino-Japanese relations are rapidly regaining the momentum of their honeymoon period of the late AND RESEARCH - 1970s, spurred by mutual economic interests and rising concern about the Soviet military presence in Asia. Prime Minister Nakasone's spring visit to China encapsulates the convergence that is taking shape. During the trip, China and Japan accentuated their bilateral economic relationship by completing the largest low-interest loan ever made by any country to China. China and Japan also gave new emphasis to their identity of views on a number of Asian security issues and agreed to closer foreign policy consultations at senior levels. Substantially improved bilateral ties will in time mean stiffer competition for US products in the China market but will also help bring China into closer alignment with US security interests in the region. Background Over the past year, the Chinese economy has moved from a recovery phase to a development strategy that emphasizes higher rates of growth and a resumption of large technology imports. In this context, China sees Japan as an increasingly important partner which is willing to provide high technology and capital in exchange for Chinese natural resources and other export goods. Japan perceives the same striking compatibility and is building the basis for a long-term and extremely valuable economic relationship. Tokyo's extensive concessionary and commercial loans should achieve for it a much greater role in Chinese development and trade than the US can expect. United States Department of State Office of FUI, Privacy, & Classification Review SECRET Review Authority: MARTENS, R. Declassify: OADR (Taylor, J.) Date: 09/08/95 Case ID. 9400924 | UNCLASSIFIED Report 86a UNCLASSIFIED SECRET -2- Since 1979, Tokyo has extended about $13.5 billion in official and commercial credits to Beijing, and more is forthcoming soon. Tokyo has pledged about $3.5 billion in official low-interest development assistance for infrastructure projects and about $2.0 billion in Japan Eximbank credits for energy development; an additional $3.0 billion in energy development credits is now being considered. Japanese commercial banks have made available about an $8 billion credit line at relatively low interest levels for various large-scale projects. Technical assistance has included offers from the Japanese private sector to help modernize thousands of China's aging factories. The two countries also have embarked on joint exploration and development of rare strategic metals and uranium deposits. Trade, based on a rough exchange of China's energy and other raw resources for Japanese plants, machinery, and equipment, has reached the $10 billion-per-year level and may double over the next decade. New Impetus Beijing's main efforts at this juncture are aimed at attracting more private Japanese investment in joint ventures. Chinese leaders are not altogether comfortable with the fact that although Japan is China's largest trading partner, its investments in China amount to less than 10 percent of total foreign investment there. During the March 1984 Nakasone visit, Beijing stressed the stability of China's present economic and political course—an issue that continues to worry Japanese investors. Uneasiness lingers within the Japanese business community over the 1981-82 decision by China suddenly to curtail imports of heavy industrial goods and its inability to meet its oil and coal commitments to Japan under their long-term trade agreement. Both China and Japan seem increasingly receptive to establishing a special political relationship that reinforces their mutual economic interests. Tokyo believes that such a connection with Beijing will help tie China to the West, lend credibility to Japan's efforts to moderate China's behavior in the region, and provide a counterbalance to the Soviet Union. Japan also hopes that its trade and investment links will give it greater influence over Chinese policies on trade and technology transfer. Beijing, for its part, seeks to encourage Japan to play a more active role in regional security affairs. China would like to see Japan take a more neutral stance between China and the Soviet Union and to reduce its economic ties with Taiwan. Japan's Economic Interests The Japanese Government and private sector are increasingly aware of the potential for conflict with the US over their competing economic interests in China. As Japan's trade surplus with the US continues to widen, the US Congress and the Administration are likely to increase pressure on Japan to restrain its exports to the US. In this context, Japan is likely to look to China as an export outlet and as a source of imports the pragmatic, pro-Western line of the Deng Xiaoping regime, and promote stability in the region. In building such a relationship, Japan has sought to tread lightly on such sensitive issues as its defense buildup. When Tokyo has raised this subject, it has been to reassure China that Japan would never revive militarism. The Chinese have also sought to put the best face on their political relations. Premier Zhao recently told the Australians that he thought the chances of a revival of Japanese militarism were extremely remote, and China's press has not raised the issue since last fall. Meanwhile, the Chinese continue to leave dormant several longstanding irritants, including conflicting claims to the Senkaku Islands and Japan's extensive involvement with Taiwan. SECRET/ Not INGE CCRT R OREIGN NATIONALS UNCLASSIFIED SECRET -3- Where Do They Go From Here? In the months ahead, China and Japan will make a determined effort to galvanize their political relationship. Both sides recognize that most past disputes have revolved around commercial matters and that these are sure to increase with an expansion of economic relations. Moreover, Beijing also would like to develop a long-term relationship with Tokyo that would be insulated from possible political setbacks in US-China ties caused by Taiwan or other contentious issues. The closeness of the relationship will be limited ultimately by national self-interests. Beijing will be constrained by its desire not to be overly dependent on Japan as a supplier of goods and capital at the expense of other countries and by deep-seated memories of Japan's militarist past. Tokyo will be constrained by lingering insecurity over its investments in a socialist economy and by a desire not to rely too heavily on China for its imported resources. Nevertheless, Moscow's accelerated military buildup in Asia is a major factor that will continue to push China and Japan into close political alignment. During Nakasone's visit, Beijing went beyond previous media treatment in stressing its common view with Tokyo of the Soviet threat, according particular emphasis to SS-20 deployments. The two countries agreed to exchange information on the missiles and to increase overall foreign policy consultations at the ministerial level. Should intermediate-range nuclear forces talks reconvene, Tokyo and Beijing may coordinate their efforts vis-a-vis the US to make sure that their interest in maintaining global limits is not compromised in the course of the negotiations. In recent months, the Chinese appear to be increasingly comfortable with Japan's more activist political role in the region. Chinese officials no longer raise criticisms, as they did in early 1983, of Nakasone's pledge to extend Japan's defense perimeter to Taiwan and the four strategic straits near Japan. Instead, they praise Nakasone for being the first Japanese Prime Minister willing to advocate publicly that Japan should have a major voice in world affairs. During his visit to China, Nakasone began a dialogue on a number of international issues, focusing on problems of stability on the Korean Peninsula, and offered his good offices to foster better relations between South Korea and China. The Chinese most recently have hinted at something resembling Sino-Japanese entente. During Party Secretary General Hu Yaobang's visit to Japan, the Chinese for the first time asserted that strong Sino-Japanese relations are crucial to the peace and stability of the region. The Chinese continue to affirm their lack of concern with the Japanese buildup, apparently confident that Tokyo plans only marginal military growth. Nevertheless, they remain watchful for a more militarist tendency. China's greater acceptance of a more activist role by Japan in the region is paralleled by an attitude somewhat more positive than in recent years toward the US military posture.

The Chinese continue to affirm their lack of concern with the Japanese buildup, apparently confident that Tokyo plans only marginal military growth. Nevertheless, they remain watchful for a more militarist tendency. China's greater acceptance Statements made to the Japanese, the Chinese have emphasized over the past few months the importance of healthy Sino-US relations to the peace and stability of Asia. In addition, articles have appeared in Chinese media which give tacit approval to the US military buildup in Asia. Although reluctant openly to endorse US-Japan military cooperation, Chinese officials continue to express support for strong ties between Tokyo and Washington. At this juncture, neither China nor Japan sees its interests sufficiently threatened by the Soviet Union to move toward military cooperation. In fact, Nakasone explicitly ruled out such an option during his visit to China. Beijing needs regional stability in order to continue to devote its resources to economic development, and it appears confident that its recent improvement of relations with the Soviets has reduced the near-term threat to its security. Hence, Beijing likely will avoid introducing the strong anti-Soviet rhetoric characteristic of the late 1970s into its present relationship with Japan. The Chinese have turned aside, at least for the time being, a request by Japan that Beijing support its position on the sovereignty of the Northern Islands in its talks with the Soviet Union. Nevertheless, prospects are good that the two sides will supplement their agreed Foreign Ministry consultations on Soviet military activity with exchanges of official military delegations. Indeed, this process is off to a fast start with the unprecedented visit of China's Defense Minister to Tokyo in early July. Prepared by Charles Martin, William Brooks 632-1343 Approved by Louis G.

The Hepatitis B vaccine caused me an unresolved encephalopathy and symptoms of autoimmunity. It caused flu-like symptoms, including malaise, sore throat, diffuse musculoskeletal pain, extreme exhaustion, numbness of both feet, abdominal pain, diffuse myalgias, arthralgias, and fatigue. I also had problems with cognition and concentration. The mild numbness I had in my hands after vaccination has spread, and I developed burning, lancinating pains in my arms and legs. It is painful to even wear shoes. I feel electric shocks in my arms and legs, and heaviness in my arms and legs got worse. I feel as if I have the flu every day, and all my muscles hurt. I am dizzy and light-headed. I have intermittent problems with numbness and tingling in my arms and legs, clumsiness in my right hand, trouble running, painful jerking of my right arm, and a low energy level. Overwhelming exhaustion that rest does not improve. I also have short-term memory loss, difficulty with attention span, low-grade fever, and rapid heart rate. The shoulder pain inhibits my ability to do chores and to groom myself. Afterward, I started to struggle with dressing and lifting my arm. The shoulder pain onset was gradual, and I have body aches, frequent muscle tension, severe muscle weakness, muscle spasms, and soreness across my shoulders. I feel less coordinated, and have pain under my left arm, severe frontal and parietal headaches, and nausea. I feel weak from shoulder to the elbow of my vaccinated arm, sweats, chills, joint aches, and stiffness. There are some unusual pains down the sides of my fingers, and inconsistent tremor of my right hand greater than my left. I also have vertigo, abnormal involuntary movements, memory loss, weakness in my left arm and left leg, and an inability to exercise. I get very ill when I try to exercise. According to my doctor, molecular mimicry is a potential mechanism for these adverse events. In such cases, a vaccine specifically activates cross-reactive T cells or antibodies that initiate a process, which ultimately injures the host’s nerve tissues. My GP said it is to do with 'nerves' and he referred me to a neurologist. The list of investigations that would prove worthwhile is deltoid muscle biopsy, plasma creatine kinase levels, MRI shoulder, EKG, nerve conduction studies, and brain perfusion scan.

(See pp. 14-15) UNCLASSIFIED SECRET COMPTROLLER GENERAL'S REPORT TO REPORT ON U.S. ASSISTANCE TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON U.S. SECURITY THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT IN AGREEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS ABROAD, SUPPORT OF THE PHILIPPINE CIVIC COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS, ACTION GROUP UNITED STATES SENATE Department of Defense Department of State B-168501 DIGEST WHY THE REVIEW WAS MADE The Chairman, Subcommittee on U.S. Security Agreements and Commitments Abroad, Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, by letter dated November 26, 1969, requested that the General Accounting Office (GAO) study the payments made to the Government of the Republic of the Philippines by the Government of the United States in support of the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHILCAG) in Vietnam. The specific scope of this study was established in subsequent meetings with the staff of the Subcommittee. It was agreed that GAO would direct its study to (1) payments for the cost of per diem and overseas allowances of PHILCAG personnel in Vietnam, (2) material and logistical support provided to PHILCAG in Vietnam by the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, and (3) related material assistance given to military units in the Philippines. An interim report on this study was made to the Chairman on February 19, 1970 (B-168501). FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS On the basis of records furnished by the Departments of Defense (DOD) and State and of discussions with responsible officials, GAO found that late in 1964 the U.S. Government offered to, and the Government of the Philippines accepted, certain quid pro quo financial and material assistance for sending PHILCAG to Vietnam. GAO verified that the value and type of assistance given to the Philippine Government was substantially as described by Mr. James M. Wilson, Jr., Deputy Chief of Mission, U.S. Embassy, Manila, in his testimony at the hearing before the Subcommittee on U.S. Security Agreements and Commitments Abroad. (See pp. 4-7) GAO found also that U.S. officials exercised no control or supervision over the utilization of funds provided for the payment of per diem and overseas allowances to PHILCAG personnel and that therefore the purpose for which funds were actually applied could not be established. See pp. 8-9 GAO was unable to establish the validity of the receipt, disposition, or actual cost of equipment and logistical support provided to PHILCAG due to incomplete documentation by DOD. GAO is reasonably sure that such support cost at least $24 million, of which $4.2 million was for providing PHILCAG with equipment in Vietnam and $20 million was for recurring subsistence, operating expenses, ammunition, and some additional equipment. The possibility exists that the total cost was far greater than these figures. The amount of equipment turned in by PHILCAG upon leaving Vietnam in December 1969 could not be reconciled by U.S. military personnel with the shipment, authorization, or inventory lists covering PHILCAG operations. (See pp. 10-12) GAO noted that costs amounting to about $3 million had been incurred for equipment, patrol craft, and weapons used to support military units in the Philippines and that $500,000 related to the costs of replacing personnel in PHILCAG in Vietnam and of packing, crating, handling, and transportation costs connected with PHILCAG. (See pp. 12-13) Although not directly related to PHILCAG, other U.S. assistance to the Philippine Government, including military and economic aid, increased substantially during fiscal years 1966 to 1970. (See p. 14) GAO was seriously hampered and delayed in making this study by the reluctance of both DOD and the Department of State to make available the records and personnel necessary to verify the facts and figures presented to GAO by the Philippine Government. (See pp. 14-15) the United States would be construed as an indication of the Philippines' involvement in the Vietnamese conflict and would jeopardize the Philippines' position of neutrality in Southeast Asia. In January 1966, the Philippine Government formally announced its decision to send a military unit to Vietnam and requested U.S. assistance. Negotiations between the two Governments continued through 1966 and, in October of that year, an agreement was reached on the terms of the U.S. assistance. The agreement was signed by both Govern- ments on November 14, 1966, and was ratified by the Philippine Congress on December 9, 1966. The agreement provided for the United States to pay for the cost of per diem and overseas allowances of Philippine military personnel serving in Vietnam, as well as for material and logistical support provided by the U.S. Mili- tary Assistance Command, Vietnam. In addition, the United States agreed to provide material assistance to Philippine military units in the Philippines. The agreement also stipulated that the Philippine mili- tary unit would be known as the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHILCAG) and would be under the operational control of the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. The agreement further stated that the PHILCAG would operate under the general principles of the Geneva Convention. In December 1966, the Philippine Government announced that it would send a 2,000-man unit to Vietnam. The unit left the Philippines in April 1967 and was withdrawn in December 1968. Throughout the period of the Philippine military unit's presence in Vietnam, there were discussions between the two Governments concerning the possibility of extending the Philippine commitment beyond December 1968. However, no agreement was reached and the unit was withdrawn as scheduled. the United States might convey a mercenary connotation for the Philippine unit. President Marcos also stated that Philippine congressional approval of his aid-to-Vietnam legislation would be facilitated if the the United States were to provide, in addition to the support needed to deploy a military contingent to Vietnam, some form of assistance to Philippine domestic programs. Various kinds of assistance were considered by the United States, including expanded assistance under MAP and additional Public Law 480 and other economic aid. We found no evidence, except for the financial and military working arrangements in Vietnam, of any written agreements having been concluded by the two governments with respect to PHILCAG and the related commitments of the United States. Neither did the records of verbal discussions between the two governments, to which we were permitted access, indicate the limits of U.S. aid in exchange for PHILCAG. For these reasons, we were restricted in our review by the Departments' arbitrary definition of U.S. quid pro quo assistance. The record of discussions implies that assistance from the United States in the form of logistical support of PHILCAG and payment of per diem and overseas allowances to PHILCAG personnel were President Marcos' conditions for sending a unit to Vietnam. U.S. assistance for domestic civic action and anti-smuggling programs, consisting of engineer construction equipment and patrol craft, was mentioned in the PHILCAG context but ostensibly as a device for helping President Marcos' aid-to-Vietnam bill through the Philippine Senate. The United States chose to consider a portion of the domestic assistance as PHILCAG related and funded it as part of the support of the Free World Military Assistance Forces in Vietnam. Other, identical assistance was funded under MAP and excluded from the quid pro quo definition. President Marcos' concern over the possible mercenary implications of accepting assistance from the United States for PHILCAG was evident from the method which was agreed to and subsequently implemented for the handling of the payment of allowances for PHILCAG personnel. The United States delivered dollar checks directly to the Philippine Secretary of National Defense in Manila. It was agreed to between officials of the Department of State and President Marcos that the Philippine Government could conceal the receipt of these payments from the Philippine public in its national defense budget. It is quite conceivable that few officials in the Marcos administration were aware of the cash payments by the United States or of the purpose for which they were actually intended. UNCLASSIFIED CHAPTER 3 ASSISTANCE PROVIDED According to Department of Defense records, approximately $41 million, including estimated costs for the first half of fiscal year 1970, was provided in the military functions appropriations for PHILCAG-related assistance. We made such tests as we considered necessary to satisfy ourselves that the Philippine Government actually received such assistance from the United States and that the value and makeup of such assistance was substantially as described by Mr. James M. Wilson, Jr., Deputy Chief of Mission, U.S. Embassy, Manila, in his testimony before the Subcommittee on September 30 and October 1 and 2, 1969. In accordance with section 401(b) of Public Law 89-367 and section 640(b) of Public Law 89-687, which authorized the support of the Free World Military Assistance Forces in Vietnam with military appropriation funds, DOD submitted quarterly reports to the Congress on the estimated value, by country, of such support based on actual or estimated obligations for material contracts and services. The total cost for this support reported for the Philippines from fiscal year 1966 through the second quarter of fiscal year 1970, when PHILCAG redeployed from Vietnam, was approximately $33 million. This included costs for the deployment and redeployment of PHILCAG personnel, as well as the value of material and services provided by the United States to support PHILCAG's operations in Vietnam. In addition, the United States provided approximately $8 million in assistance to the Philippines under the Military Assistance Program (MAP) for PHILCAG-related activities, such as the construction of facilities and the provision of equipment for PHILCAG's domestic civic action and anti-smuggling programs. This assistance was not included in the quid pro quo definition and was not reported as part of the support of the Free World Military Assistance Forces in Vietnam. Overall, the total value of U.S. assistance provided to the Philippines for PHILCAG-related activities during this time period was approximately $41 million. This assistance was crucial in enabling the Philippines to deploy and sustain PHILCAG's operations in Vietnam and to support its domestic programs. Without this assistance, it is unlikely that the Philippines would have been able to fulfill its commitment to the United States and send a military unit to Vietnam. was $17 million, or less than 50 percent of the support costs incurred. This variance appeared to be caused by the fact that DOD reports apparently included only personnel and operations and maintenance costs associated with PHILCAG but excluded the cost of equipment. A recapitulation of PHILCAG-related cost data, by source, follows. DOD budget Reported by DOD data to the Congress $40.8 million $17.3 million 7 UNCLASSIFIED PER DIEM AND OVERSEAS ALLOWANCES Approximately $3.9 million was paid to the Government of the Philippines between October 1966 and January 1970 for the cost of per diem and overseas allowances of PHILCAG personnel in Vietnam. Quarterly payments were made on the basis of personnel-strength figures reported to the Comptroller, Joint U.S. Military Advisory Group (JUSMAG), by the Philippine Department of National Defense and verified through the use of strength data submitted by PHILCAG through the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. These strength figures, all reported by Philippine sources, were accepted by U.S. officials as the basis for computing payments without further verification either in the Philippines or in Vietnam. In checking the accuracy of the JUSMAG computations, we found that the payment for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1969 had been incorrectly computed which resulted in an overpayment to the Philippines of $30,000. The amount of the payment was computed by the JUSMAG Comptroller using the following combined schedule of daily rates for per diem and overseas allowances: Brigadier General $7.00 Colonel 6.50 Lieutenant Colonel 6.00 Major 5.50 Captain 5.00 First Lieutenant 4.50 Second Lieutenant 4.00 Master Sergeant/First Sergeant 2.50 Technical Sergeant/Staff Sergeant 2.00 Sergeant 1.50 Corporal 1.20 Private First Class/Private 1.10 At the written request of the JUSMAG Comptroller, a U.S. Treasury check was issued by the disbursing officer at Clark Air Force Base after the close of each quarter. This request cited a message as authority for the disbursing officer to issue the check. We never saw this message, however, because, in answer to our requests for a copy of it, we were told that no copy was available at JUSMAG, the American Embassy, Clark Air Force Base, or the originating Air Force Headquarters in Hawaii. The disbursing officer stated that he considered the Comptroller's request to be his authority for issuing the check. Although PHILCAG redeployed from Vietnam in December of 1969, we were advised by JUSMAG officials that, as of the time of our inquiry, they had received no instructions from higher headquarters regarding the termination of payments. The Chief, JUSMAG, indicated, however, that he would make no more payments. Fourteen quarterly checks were issued between October 1966 and January 1970. These checks were charged mainly to the Army military pay and allowances appropriation. An examination of canceled checks returned to the Department of the Treasury showed that they had been made payable to the Secretary of National Defense, Republic of the Philippines, and that they had contained no data identifying their purpose. The most frequently occurring endorsement on the checks appeared to be the signature of Ernesto S. Mata, Secretary of National Defense. The checks were deposited in the Philippine Veterans Bank, usually in the Camp Aguinaldo Branch. Each check was delivered by the Chief, JUSMAG, or his Chief of Staff, to the Secretary of National Defense, together with a typed receipt. The receipt listed the check number and date and stated that the payment was for ""commercial consumable support for the AFP"" (Armed Forces of the Philippines), a phrase which was described as a cover by JUSMAG in a message to the Commander in Chief, Pacific, in October 1966 when the first check was delivered. The receipt, which was signed by the Secretary of National Defense, was retained in JUSMAG's files. iew and determined that the total cost of subsistence and operating expenses for PHILCAG during fiscal years 1966 through 1969 was approximately $20 million. When delivery of the check was accomplished, President Marcos was notified by the U.S. Ambassador. U.S. officials exercised no control or supervision over the utilization of these funds; therefore the purpose for which the funds were actually used could not be established. Our inquiries into this matter, which were confined to U.S. sources, revealed that no information was required of, or received from, the Philippine Government on the disposition of the funds paid to it by the United States. We were able to verify that some equipment and logistical support of PHILCAG in Vietnam had been provided by the United States. Because of incomplete DOD documentation, we were unable to establish the actual cost of this support. We are reasonably sure that such support cost at least $24 million, and there is a strong possibility that the total cost was greater. Approximately $4.2 million of this amount was funded to provide PHILCAG with equipment in Vietnam, and the remaining $20 million was the cost of recurring subsistence, operating expenses, ammunition, and some additional equipment. From available records, we confirmed that most of the equipment represented by the $4.2 million was shipped to Vietnam for PHILCAG in August 1966 under a special DOD project. Because of the inadequacy of the records, we were unable to establish a clear picture of the disposition of this equipment; however, we were able to determine that: 1. The United States-Philippine working agreement provided that equipment support to PHILCAG in Vietnam was to be on a loan basis, except for replacements of items brought to Vietnam by PHILCAG. Evacuation from Vietnam of equipment, the title to which did not rest with the Philippine Government, required prior approval of the Commander, U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. 2. JUSMAG officials had no record of the equipment, if any, which had accompanied PHILCAG to Vietnam or which had been returned with PHILCAG upon its redeployment. 3. PHILCAG equipment authorizations had been based on a Table of Organization and Equipment and a Table of Allowances which had been approved by the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam. These documents authorized equipment far in excess of that originally included under the special DOD project, such as medical and dental equipment, additional small arms, automatic weapons and mortars, howitzers, armored personnel carriers, and tanks. Records of initial equipment issues to PHILCAG were not available; however, in the opinion of several officials of the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, the equipment authorized probably had been issued to PHILCAG. 4. Prior to its departure from Vietnam in December 1969, PHILCAG conducted an inventory of equipment on hand. This inventory was, for the most part, unconfirmed by U.S. personnel. As in the case of the authorizations, quantities inventoried had exceeded the special DOD project equipment and the quantities finally turned in. 5. PHILCAG records of turn-in of equipment had been accepted without verification by the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam; however, the records could not be reconciled with shipment, authorization, and inventory lists. At the time of our review, the U.S. Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, had not yet resolved turn-in discrepancies and PHILCAG property records had not yet been closed. The following comparison demonstrates the inconsistency in the number of PHILCAG equipment line items contained in various documents we reviewed. Authorized Inventoried Turned-in 675 319 301 Accountable records identifying subsistence and operating costs for PHILCAG were not maintained prior to fiscal year 1969. In the absence of such records, these types of costs were estimated by DOD for budgeting and reporting purposes based on PHILCAG personnel-strength figures. We used these estimated costs for the purpose of our review and determined that the total cost of subsistence and operating expenses for PHILCAG during fiscal years 1966 through 1969 was approximately $20 million. iew. In addition, U.S. Army, Vietnam, identified approximately $5.1 million in equipment and ammunition costs between fiscal years 1967 and 1970, which, according to Army officials, were based, in part, on actual issues and which we accepted as probably valid for the purposes of our review. These costs were apparently not included in the DOD report to the Congress on support to the Free World Military Assistance Forces. In addition, U.S. Army, Vietnam, identified approximately $5.1 million in equipment and ammunition costs between fiscal years 1967 and 1970, which, according to Army officials, were based, in part, on actual issues and which we accepted as probably valid for the purposes of our review. These costs were apparently not included in the DOD report to the Congress on support to the Free World Military Assistance Forces. the United States paid the Phil-| 4 ippine Government for sending troops to Vietnam was denied today by the Philippine Govern- ment. In an official statement, the government said that “the Phil- ippines has received no fee or payment of any kind for the Philcag or its personnel, nor has there been any grant in consider- ation for the sending of Philcag to Vietnam.” The statement was issued by Presidential spokesman Luis Villafuerte in answer to a query from the Philippine News Service, the government news agency. The statement added that the Philippine Government has al- ways maintained that the Phil- cag was sent to Vietnam “as a matter of policy” in support of the United States’ policy of helping the South Vietnamese people in their fight against Communist aggression. | The statement said that the Philippine Government, through the Department of Foreign Af- fairs, has always been aware of the fact that the United States Government had been providing the Philippine Government with “tangible and material assistance” for the Philippine Civic Action Group (Philcag) since its deployment to Vietnam in 1966. In its statement, the govern- ment added that “the U.S. Gov- ernment had been providing financial and material support to the Philcag, which has been in the neighborhood of $36 million.” The Philippine Government said that the Philcag was sent to Vietnam “as a matter of pol- icy” in support of the United States’ policy of helping the South Vietnamese people in their fight against Communist aggression. | The statement added that “the Philippine Government, through the Department of Foreign Affairs, has always been aware of the fact that the United States Government had been providing the Philippine Government with tangible and material assistance for the Phil- cag since its deployment to Vietnam in 1966.” The statement said that the UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED APPENDIX II Page 1 Supplementary Information Additional information concerning the Philippine Civic Action Group (PHILCAG) was obtained from the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of State. This information was not provided during the Subcommittee's hearings. In a letter dated December 12, 1969, to the Subcommittee, the DOD stated that the United States had provided the Philippine Government with $38,809,661 in assistance for PHILCAG from fiscal year 1966 through fiscal year 1969. This figure includes $2,000,000 in fiscal year 1966 for the initial deployment of PHILCAG to Vietnam, and $36,809,661 in fiscal years 1967 through 1969 for the continued support of PHILCAG. The DOD also provided a detailed breakdown of the assistance given to the Philippine Government for PHILCAG. This breakdown is as follows: Fiscal Year 1966: $2,000,000 for initial deployment to Vietnam Fiscal Years 1967-1969: $9,000,000 for pay of PHILCAG personnel $9,000,000 for overseas allowances of PHILCAG personnel $2,000,000 for equipment and supplies for PHILCAG $3,000,000 for construction of PHILCAG facilities in Vietnam $13,809,661 for other support of PHILCAG, including transportation, maintenance, and medical care The Department of State also provided information on the history of discussions between the United States and the Philippines regarding the deployment of PHILCAG to Vietnam. According to the Department of State, the idea of deploying a Philippine military unit to Vietnam was first mentioned in discussions between the two countries in Manila in October 1965. The United States proposed that the Philippines send a military engineer unit to Vietnam, and the Philippine Government agreed in principle. In March 1966, the United States and the Philippines signed a memorandum of understanding, which provided for the deployment of PHILCAG to Vietnam and outlined the terms of U.S. assistance to the Philippines for this purpose. In addition, the Department of State stated that the United States provided MAP support for engineer battalions for civic action in the Philippines, similar to that which was service funded for PHILCAG in Vietnam. This support was provided as part of the overall U.S. military assistance program to the Philippines. During the Subcommittee's review, access to pertinent records on MAP assistance to the Philippines was delayed by the DOD's refusal to permit access to these records. The Subcommittee plans to conduct a thorough review of U.S. military assistance to the Philippine Government and will report its findings to Congress. and New Zealand. The testimony showed that the United States was paying the Philippines $2 million a month for the troops. It also showed that the United States had paid the Philippines $1 mil- lion in 1964 and $1.5 million in 1965 for the same purpose. The testimony showed that the United States was paying South Korea $14 million a month for its troops in Vietnam and that the United States had paid $3.5 million in 1965 and $10 million in 1966 for the same purpose. The testimony showed that the United States was paying Thailand $4 million a month for its troops in Vietnam and that the United States had paid $1 million in 1964 and $2 mil- lion in 1965 for the same pur- pose. The testimony showed that the United States had also paid South Korea $1.5 million in 1965 and $3.5 million in 1966 for the support of South Korean troops in Laos. The testimony showed that the United States had paid Thailand $1.5 million in 1965 and $2.5 million in 1966 for the support of Thai troops in Laos.

The committee's report, the result of an investigation by a subcommittee headed by Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.), also said that the United States has agreed to reimburse South Ko- rea and Thailand for the costs of their troops in Laos. There are no South Korean or Thai- land troops in Laos now, but both countries had troops there in the early 1960s. The report said that the U.S. government has paid the Philip- pines $2 million a month since 1966 for the support of Philip- pine troops in Vietnam. The Philippines has received a total of $4.5 million in addition to the monthly payments, the re- port said. The report also said that the United States has paid South Korea $14 million a month since 1966 for the support of South Korean troops in Vietnam. The South Koreans have received a total of $24.5 million in addition to the monthly payments, the report said. The report said that the Unit- ed States has paid Thailand $4 million a month since 1966 for the support of Thai troops in Vietnam. The Thais have re- ceived a total of $8 million in addition to the monthly pay- ments, the report said. The report said that the U.S. government has also paid South Korea $1.5 million and Thailand $1.5 million for the support of troops in Laos. The report did not specify the time period cov- ered by these payments. The report was made public yesterday after being submitted to the full Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee in September. The committee voted to make the report public yesterday af- ter a brief closed session. The report said that the Unit- ed States has paid these coun- tries to send troops to Vietnam because of “the belief that the presence of these forces in Viet- nam would provide a psychological boost to the war effort and would help to demonstrate the interna- tional character of the war.” The report quoted testimony given to the subcommittee in September by a State Depart- ment official that “the South Korean and Thai governments have been very cooperative in providing support to the United States in Vietnam.” The report also said that the United States has paid the Phil- ippines for the use of Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Base in the Philippines. The report did not specify the amount of money paid for this purpose. The report said that the Unit- ed States has also paid the Philippines for the use of Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Base in the Philippines.

The re- port did not specify the amount of money paid for this purpose. The report said that the Unit- ed States has also paid the Philippines for the use of Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Base in the Philippines. The re- port did not specify the amount to the Philippines in 1966 and 1967 to help finance the con- struction of a military base at Zamboanga, on the island of Mindanao. The Senators said the base was used by the Philippine troops before they were sent to Vietnam. The Senators charged that the money was paid to the Philippines in re- turn for the troop assignment, The Philippine Government denied that the fund contribu- tion was in any way related to the troop dispatch. It said the money was given “as a matter of course” to the Phil- ippines as part of a military aid agreement between the two countries. The statement said that the money was used to finance the construction of a base at Zam- boanga and that the base was used by Philippine troops be- fore they went to Vietnam, but it added that “the two events were not related.” The Philippine Government said it had not been asked to comment on the Senate state- ment, but that it was doing so now “to avoid any misunder- standing of the nature of the fund contribution.” The Philippine Government has been sensitive to charges that it sent troops to Vietnam in return for American military aid. President Marcos has re- peatedly denied that the troop dispatch was related to the military aid program. The Philippine troops have been withdrawn from Vietnam, and the Philippine Government has said it will not send any more, although it will continue to provide medical and civic action teams. The Senate subcommittee said in its report that the United States had paid $48 million to support between 1,100 and 1,500 Filipino troops in the Korean War. The Senators also said that the United States had paid $2.7 million to the Philippines for the use of the Zamboanga base. The subcommittee said that the Philippine Government had spent $1.7 million of the $2.7 million on the base, but that the money had been spent be- fore the troop dispatch to Vietnam was announced. The Philippine statement said that the United States had given the Philippines $2.7 mil- lion for the Zamboanga base in 1966 and 1967, but that the Philippine Government had spent $3.7 million on the base in the same period. The statement said the Philippines spent the extra $1 million from its own funds, The Philippine statement also said that the cost of the base had been $3.7 million, not $1.7 million as the Senate subcommittee had reported. The Philippine statement said that the base had been used by Philippine troops be- fore they went to Vietnam, but that the base was not built for that purpose. The state- ment said that the base was built “to provide for the staging and training of Phil- ippine troops to be used in the campaign against the Hukbalahap guerrillas.” The Philippine statement said that the United States had given the Philippines $1.4 million for the base in 1966 and $1.3 million in 1967. It said that $1.8 million of the $2.7 million had been spent in 1968, and that the remain- ing $900,000 had been spent in 1969, The Philippine statement said that the base was built by the Philippine Air Force and that the United States had provided the materials. It said that the United States had also provided “some technical assistance.” The Philippine statement said that the United States had given the Philippines $1.4 million for the base in 1966 and $1.3 million in 1967.

The Philippine statement said that the base was built by the Philippine Air Force and that the Department of to the Phili southern Vie of the the military functions appropriations we requested from the State would not be made available to us, even if they related pines, but were concerned with the U.S. military assistance tnam. This was the case even though the Docume Department of State were paid for with funds from appropriations. The ground rules also prohibited our review of documents classified confidential or higher, and we were not allowed to review any documents classified as secret or top secret. This limitation severely restricted our review of documents prepared by the Department of State, and we were unable to review many documents prepared by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other military organizations that were classified as secret or top secret. We were also unable to review many documents and records of the Philippine Government that were considered UNCLASSIFIED Page 2 to be sensitive in nature, and we were restricted to the review of only those documents that the Philippine Govern- ment permitted the Departments to release to us. The ground rules did not permit us to review any documents prepared by the Philippine Government that were classified confidential or higher, and our access to documents classi- fied secret or top secret was also severely limited. We were unable to review any documents that were classified confidential or higher by the Philippine Government that were not specifically identified and requested, and then screened for us by the Department of State. We believe that the Department of State, Department of Defense, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff have exercised an unduly restrictive approach in their interpretation of the scope of our review, and that this approach has seriously hampered and delayed our work and limited our ability to report on the extent and effectiveness of U.S. assistance to the Philippines. In our opinion, the Departments have interpreted the scope of our review too narrowly and have not given adequate consideration to the purpose of our review. We believe that the ground rules established by the Departments were not consistent with the intent of the Congress in requesting our review and that the Depart- ments’ interpretation of the scope of our review has not been consistent with the intent of the Congress. We believe that the Departments’ interpretation of the scope of our review was unduly restrictive and that it prevented us from reviewing many significant aspects of U.S. assistance to the Philippines. We believe that our review was frustrated by the Departments’ interpretation of the scope of our review and that our work was hampered by the Departments’ reluctance to give us access to docu- ments, papers, and records that we considered pertinent to our review.

UNCLASSIFIED and International Security Affairs) UNCLASSIFIED APPENDIX IV UNCLASSIFIED Page 1 OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE WASHINGTON 25, D.C. 20307 INTERNATIONAL SECURITY AFFAIRS 10 March 1970 In reply refer to 1-2309/70ct Mr. James A. Duff Associate Director International Division General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Dear Mr. Duff: The Secretary of Defense has asked me to reply to your letter of 26 February in which you complained of a denial of access to the files of the Department of Defense, in which you concluded that the letter request of Senator Symington for an investigation of PHILCAGV is broad enough to encompass all matters of receipt, disbursement and application of public funds related in any manner to our relations with the government of the Philippines and in which you requested a far greater degree of cooperation on the part of officials of the Department of Defense than you allege to have experienced to date. It is the policy of the Department of Defense in this Administration to provide maximum cooperation and assistance to the GAO, consistent, of course, with the proper discharge of the responsibilities of the Department as assigned to it by the National Security Act as amended. It is a well-known fact that the files of the Department of Defense contain some of the most sensitive documents of the Federal Government, including documents relating to war plans, future budget and planning data, confidential correspondence exchanged between heads of state, highly sensitive memoranda between the President and the Secretary of Defense, internal departmental working papers and memoranda, reports of Inspectors-General, performance evaluation reports, and a number of others of similar sensitivity, all of which have traditionally been withheld even from Committees of the Congress. Accordingly, the Department of Defense cannot accept the premise that GAO auditors possess the absolute right of complete, immediate and ready access to the uncensored files of the Department, and we will continue to consider such blanket requests for immediate access as inappropriate and improper. 27 UNCLASSIFIED APPENDIX IV UNCLASSIFIED Page 2 The request by Senator Symington for a GAO study of the equipment and materiel furnished by the United States to PHILCAGV presents an unusual case because of its peculiar relationship to hearings already held by the Symington Subcommittee. The Department of Defense, therefore, established a separate procedure for the review and handling of information requested in the course of your PHILCAGV study. It was designed to expedite your efforts by providing you a single authoritative point of contact within the Defense Department since your study involved both DOD and the military services. If, as you suggest, your basic charter is legally sufficient to permit GAO to investigate all matters of receipt, disbursement and application of public funds related in any manner to our relations with the Philippine government, then such an audit should be conducted within the normal, established procedures and completely outside the special organization created for the PHILCAGV review. I suggest, therefore, that if you choose to undertake a study of all public funds related to the Philippines, you inaugurate your normal liaison procedures with the Department of Defense through the Comptroller's office since such matters fall clearly beyond the purview of Senator Symington's request regarding PHILCAGV. You will, I am sure, be given access to those documents to which you have traditionally been accorded access in the past. Finally, because of the political sensitivity of our relations with the Government of the Philippines, we must insist upon the exercise of our prerogative to review all documents relating to PHILCAGV in Washington before releasing them to the GAO. We are fully cognizant of the fact that a Washington review of documents requested in the field will result in some delay in transmission of the requested information. However, we are convinced that such a review is necessary to ensure that no information is released which would be detrimental to our national security or to our foreign relations. Sincerely, David Packard Deputy Secretary of Defense UNCLASSIFIED ich we have also sidelined in red, are in our judgment SECRET because they refer to intelligence sources and methods and discuss the intelligence collection activities of the United States. UNCLASSIFIED We have no objection to the GAO's release of the report in its classified form to Senator Stuart Symington, Chairman of the Subcommittee on U.S. Security Agreements and Commitments Abroad of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, provided that the Chairman is notified in the letter of transmittal that the Department of State has not been accorded the opportunity to comment on any of the report's contents. Sincerely yours, | J. H. NOLAN Acting Assistant Secretary Mr. James A. Milgate Acting Director International Division U.S. General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 UNCLASSIFIED Our reason for indicating a SECRET classification for these paragraphs is that the underlined portions are drafted in such a manner as to reveal certain detailed aspects of our negotiations with the Philippines regarding support for the PHILCAG which have remained classified thus far. Declassification of such details of confidential negotiations between the two Governments could cause serious embarrassment to the United States in its relations with the Philippine Government, just as it could in our relations with any other Government if details of normal confidential negotiations were unilaterally disclosed by us. Sincerely yours, - Arnold A. Maclay, - Marshall Green Mr. J. E. Milgate, Assistant Director, U.S. General Accounting Office.

I don't bleed unless Iam sitting on the toilet and when I cough the blood spurts out. I first noticed it this morning before I hopped in the shower I coughed a lot( I have a bad cold right now ) and 3 big spots of blood had dripped out onto my floor. Now everytime I'm on the toilet today blood spurts out..should I go see a doctor or wait it out? Thank you for your query Yes, any rectal bleeding should be checked out immediately, especially in the quantity you mentioned and that spurts. Do you have any history of hemorrhoids, liver disease or intestinal/rectal surgery? Did you have any recent diarrhoeal disease? Sometimes increased intra abdominal pressure (such as when you cough) could rupture tiny blood vessels in the anal canal that can bleed If this continues, I recommend you go to the ER. If it is minimal or stops, see your physician ASAP to rule out serious disorders and prevent further blood loss. Expect to be hospitalized, with blood work. Depending on where the bleeding point is and how big it is, how much blood loss has occurred, you may need cautery/pressure dressings, blood products. These are just a few things. It may just be a small vessel bleed and you may be allowed to go home after a few hours Hope this helps. Wish you good health.

Recently, took a health check-up and found that my vitamin D levels are very low 5.24 ng/ml, vitamin B12 332 pg/ml. Every now and then I have stiffness in my neck and uneasiness in my knees. Can you please suggest me vitamin D supplements to overcome this deficiency, duration of intake and side effects, if any. I am a non-vegetarian and currently not taking any supplements and not under any medication. Should I be taking any other supplements apart from vitamin D considering my age is above 30. Apart from the vitamin D deficiency, I could see some abnormal values for lymphocyte percentage, lymphocytes absolute count, monocytes absolute count, total RBC, platelet distribution width (PDW) and platelet to large cell ratio (PLCR). Attaching my health report for your further reference. Please advise. Hello. Your vitamin D and HDL are low, and iron levels are low normal. Rest all reports are fine (attachment removed to protect patient identity). So, for vitamin D, you should have tablet Uprise D3 (or Calcitriol sachets) 60,000 units with milk once a week for eight weeks and then once a month for the next six months. This will cure deficiency and also replenish your stores. May cause some gastritis, otherwise safe. For HDL, you do not need to have anything, but just have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty oily food, regular exercises like brisk walking or running according to capacity. Also, for iron, have iron rich food like green leafy vegetables like spinach or jaggery, etc.",Confidential "Daily Tie Outs Across Risk Systems Shona, As per my memo to you on August 13th, I am scheduling a kick-off meeting with individuals to discuss a daily tie-out process across all global risk applications/reports, i.e. DPR, Infinity, RisktRAC (VAR and Benchmark) and CAS.

QUOTE DRAFT REPLY DEAR MR. BURTON: THANK YOU FOR YOUR LETTER OF APRIL 21, 1988, ASKING FOR OUR VIEWS ON A.I.D. FUNDED AFGHANAID OPERATIONS. SINCE 1985, A.I.D. HAS PROVIDED GRANTS TO AFGHANAID FOR TWO TYPES OF ACTIVITIES: (1) CASH-FOR-FOOD, AND (2) AN AMBULANCE PROJECT. APPROXIMATELY $3.4 MILLION HAS BEEN PROVIDED FOR CASH-FOR-FOOD PROGRAMS AND A SMALL GRANT OF $128,989 WAS MADE FOR THE AMBULANCE PROJECT. THOUGH AFGHANAID STAFF WAS ENTHUSIASTIC AND COMMITTED TO THEIR WORK WITH AFGHANS, THE ORGANIZATION INITIALLY FACED MANAGERIAL PROBLEMS AND INADEQUATE SYSTEMS OF ACCOUNTING WHICH HAMPERED ITS EFFECTIVENESS. FOR EXAMPLE, AUTHORITY WAS CENTRALIZED IN AFGHANAID’S LONDON HEADQUARTERS WITH VIRTUALLY NO DECISION MAKING PERMITTED AT ITS FIELD OFFICE IN PESHAWAR. THIS SITUATION IMPEDDED IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AMBULANCE PROJECT, WHICH WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TERMINATED, AND RESULTED IN LATE REPORTING ON BOTH ACTIVITIES MENTIONED ABOVE. ADEQUATE SYSTEMS OF ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL RESOURCES WERE ALSO NOT WELL ESTABLISHED. AFTER A.I.D.'S REVIEW OF AFGHANAID’S ACTIVITIES IN 1987, THE ORGANIZATION HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT MANAGERIAL CHANGES AND HAS MOVED TO ESTABLISH AN ADEQUATE SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTING OF FUNDS IT RECEIVES. ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT HAS IMPROVED WITH THE APPOINTMENT OF A NEW PESHAWAR DIRECTOR WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN INCREASED DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS, AND PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE IN ESTABLISHING AN ADEQUATE ACCOUNTING SYSTEM. THESE IMPROVEMENTS HAVE LED TO INCREASED EFFECTIVENESS IN AFGHANAID’S OPERATIONS. HOWEVER, TIMELY REPORTING TO THE INTERNATIONAL RESCUE COMMITTEE (A.I.D.'S INTERMEDIARY) OF MAJOR EVENTS CONCERNING A.I.D.'S CURRENT GRANT IS AN AREA REQUIRING IMPROVEMENT. WHILE A.I.D. EXPECTS TO CONSIDER REQUESTS FOR FUTURE GRANTS FROM AFGHANAID, WE HAVE ENCOURAGED A DIVERSIFICATION IN SOURCES OF FUNDING. THEREFORE, WE WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO AN EXPANDED ROLE BY ODA IN THIS REGARD.

SECRET DECL: OADR MEMORANDUM FOR: The President FROM: Lawrence S. Eagleburger, Acting Secretary 2. China: Li Peng Visit for UNSC Summit. Chinese Premier Li Peng's visit to New York on January 31 for the British-sponsored UNSC summit marks in Chinese eyes a further sign that their diplomatic rehabilitation is proceeding apace two and a half years after Tiananmen. Li may stay over in New York on February 1 for bilateral sessions the Chinese are trying to arrange with you and the leaders of Russia, Japan and India. Folded into his previously-scheduled trip to Europe (Switzerland, Italy, Portugal, Spain and possibly Malta), the visit to New York is designed to underscore China's renewed commitment to the UN and its role in international affairs. 3. Chinese Expectations. The Chinese have a number of expectations for Li's visit to New York and are hoping for certain outcomes from the UNSC summit and from the bilateral meetings with you and other leaders. These include: - A successful UNSC summit that will demonstrate China's increased standing in the international community and its ability to play a constructive role in global issues. - A reaffirmation of the importance of the US-China relationship and a demonstration of the US commitment to improving ties. - A discussion of the possibility of a US-China summit in 1992, preferably in the US. - A discussion of China's desire to join the G-7 and the importance of its inclusion in international economic and political fora. - A reaffirmation of the US ""one-China"" policy and a discussion of Taiwan's status and relations with the mainland. 4. Chinese Tactics. The Chinese are likely to use Li's visit to New York to try to portray themselves as a responsible and constructive member of the international community. They will likely emphasize their cooperation with the US on regional and global issues, such as the Gulf crisis and the Cambodian peace process. They may also try to deflect criticism of their human rights record by highlighting their economic reforms and improvements in living standards. However, they will also be vigilant in protecting their sovereignty and defending their actions in Tiananmen. They will likely resist any attempts to pressure them on human rights or other sensitive issues. 5. US Objectives. Our objectives for Li's visit should be to reaffirm the importance of the US-China relationship and underscore our commitment to improving ties. We should also use the opportunity to discuss China's role in the international community and its aspirations for a larger role in global affairs. We should also raise our concerns about human rights and press for improvements in this area. However, we should be careful not to jeopardize the success of the UNSC summit or damage our overall relationship with China. 6. Action Request. We recommend that you agree to meet with Li Peng on February 1 in New York. We also recommend that you use this opportunity to discuss our concerns about human rights with him and to raise the possibility of a US-China summit in 1992. We further recommend that you reaffirm our commitment to the ""one-China"" policy and emphasize our interest in seeing China play a constructive role in international affairs. We will provide additional guidance and talking points as the visit approaches. Lawrence S.

MEMORANDUM FOR H 2 Pe FROM: Marshal Wright [hw ! ) SUBJECT: NSSM 141 - Implications for US Policy of the Participation of The People's Republic of China in Multilateral Diplomacy KB. We initiated the NSSM 141 study so we could look within a single framework at all the problems likely to be posed by the PRC's emergence onto the multilateral scene. The object of the exercise is to provide ourselves with a conceptual basis for taking the disparate individual decisions we will need to face. Since we are not holding an SRG Meeting, we ought to give the Departments overall guidance by memo. The NSDM I propose (Tab A) instructs the bureaucracy to deliberately eschew progress on the issues, in so far as this is constructively possible, until the President's visit has clarified the new US-Chinese relationship, and perhaps provided a better basis for cooperation than that which now appears to exist. None of the issues individually -- nor all of them collectively -- begin to compare in importance with the President's Peking trip. Nor do any or all of them commend themselves as issues well adapted to establishing a favorable atmosphere for that trip. The atmosphere of the UN itself, and the nature of the issues, suggests that attempts to come to grips with these issues are more likely to exacerbate than to harmonize the atmosphere for the trip. The problems we will face break down into the following categories: -- Those which in the immediate course of things we cannot or have not been able to avoid; -- Those which we may have to face because of events beyond our control (including decisions by the Chinese themselves); -- Those which may lie temporarily dormant unless we take immediate initiative. An overall conclusion from this survey is that very few issues need to be tackled now and that we should have little difficulty in postponing most problems at least until after the President's visit to Peking. (This assumes to some extent similar restraint in this period on the part of the Chinese themselves.) Issues on Which We Have Had to Act There are three problems in this category: -- The Indo-Pak war. -- The imminence of the December 31 expiration of U Thant's term precipitated five-power consultations and then full Security Council consideration. We could not, as a practical matter, refuse to participate without either agreeing to an interim extension of U Thant's incumbency or being prepared to see ourselves uninvolved in the choice of a successor. -- The nature of the General Assembly agenda forced us to decide what our attitude was to be toward the disarmament forum. We decided to support the scheduling of another meeting of the Conference of the Committee on Disarmament (CCD), making clear that the two questions remain open of participation by the PRC (and France) and of the US-USSR co-chairmanship. This, I believe, was a reasonable and intelligent resolution of the problem, for it involved minimal immediate movement -- and preserves a maximum of future flexibility. Issues Which Depend on Events Beyond Our Control -- The Middle East The PRC has shown a disinclination to join the four-power talks, and there is no reason to suppose they will change that position in the next few months unless the situation in the area should seriously deteriorate. Should they wish to join, a reasonable posture for us would be the position that their support for Security Council Resolution 242 is a sine qua non for membership. -- Moves to Exclude the ROC from International Organizations We have already in effect decided to try to retain ROC participation only in the International Financial Institutions and certain commodity arrangements. A crunch would come if the PRC sought admission in the IFI's, coupling this with a demand for the ROC's expulsion. There is no indication they plan to do this. So in the immediate future, but if they do, we can continue low-key efforts for the ROC if there is a reasonable chance of success, and try to minimize the polemical confrontation with the PRC. -- Taiwan, Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam In regard to these issues, our posture with regard to the Chinese is primarily defensive. We need to decide how to react, rather than how to act. The Chinese could condemn our ""aggressive occupation"" of Taiwan or demand repeal of the UN Korean War resolutions to which we would be forced to respond, but with the adjournment of the General Assembly, the probability is virtually nil for any initiative before the President's trip. The State paper mentions positive initiatives we might take, such as suggesting UN membership for the two Koreas and the two Vietnams. But these are not decisions to be taken on the basis of the present study. -- Africa and Micronesia The adjournment of the General Assembly reduces the chances to near zero that the PRC will provoke a confrontation with us on these issues in the immediate future, and certainly not before the President's visit. Issues on Which We Have Discretion as to Timing On a whole range of more or less technical issues (seabeds, environment, outer space, drug control, UNCTAD, population control, UN finances, etc.) we do not yet know definitively the Chinese desires either as to participation in discussions or on substance. Accordingly, we could, if we wished, actively encourage them to participate (generally speaking, we can't keep them out if they want to come in) or initiate bilateral contact to ascertain their views (which might in some cases be quite constructive) and attempt to influence them. I believe such initiatives on our part would be premature before the President's visit for the following reasons: Initiatives could be interpreted as pressure by us. They run some risk of engaging us in contentious exchanges. In no case is there an urgent requirement for such action. Posture We Should Adopt From this survey, I believe the following conclusions emerge: 1. Our overall aim should be to defer any action which might lead to hardening Chinese positions on multilateral issues, pending the President's trip. 2. Where we must deal with the Chinese, we should adopt a businesslike posture and deal with them matter-of-factly without appearing either to be unduly solicitous or aloof toward them. 3. Where they attack us, we must to some extent tailor the tone of the response to the attack, but should, in any case, strive to keep our statements straightforward, factual, non-polemical, and brief. 4. We should not, in advance of the Peking trip, initiate bilateral discussions to head off such attacks, or moves aimed at involving the Chinese in multilateral issues, for there is too great a danger of triggering a negative reaction from the PRC. Review of NSSM 141 Following the President's Trip Given the clarification of PRC positions that should result from the President's Peking discussions, we should review NSSM 141 again following the trip. We will then be better situated to consider what positions we might take towards the PRC in the U.N. and other multilateral forums. The NSSM 141 study is a good, concise briefing paper on the problems we will encounter with the PRC in the multilateral context. We have attached it at Tab C, in case you have time for it.

Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble.

The US might offer to finance the construction of a research reactor in India, if India would agree to delay its own nuclear explosion for an appropriate period of time (say six months). The US would also offer to supply India with the necessary fuel and would undertake to remove the spent fuel from India. 2. The US and India might conclude a bilateral agreement on peaceful uses of atomic energy which would include a clause to the effect that India would not explode a nuclear device prior to a mutually agreed date. 3. The US might offer to assist India in its atomic program in return for an Indian agreement to delay its own explosion for a mutually agreed period of time. 4. The US might offer to provide India with a nuclear reactor for power purposes, if India would agree to delay its own explosion for a mutually agreed period of time. In order to avoid the appearance of coercing India into a position which might be unpopular with its public, it might be desirable to approach the Indian Government in a way which would permit it to say that the initiative for postponement came from India. One possibility might be for the US to suggest that India and the US jointly propose to the Soviet Union that the three countries agree not to explode nuclear devices for a mutually agreed period of time. If the Soviet Union did not accept the proposal, the US and India could then conclude a bilateral agreement. Alternatively, TOP SECRET it might be possible to get the Soviets to agree to a three-power agreement, in which case the US and India could join with the Soviet Union in proposing to the rest of the world a moratorium on nuclear explosions. The Department might wish to consider the possibility of approaching the Soviets with a proposal along the lines of the following: The US is concerned about the possibility of a Chinese Communist nuclear explosion in the near future, and has been exploring with India ways in which the US and India might cooperate in the atomic energy field. One of the possibilities which has been considered is the conclusion of a bilateral agreement under which India would agree not to explode a nuclear device for a mutually agreed period of time, in return for US assistance in its atomic program. The US would like to suggest that the Soviet Union join with the US and India in concluding a tripartite agreement on this subject. Alternatively, the US would like to suggest that the Soviet Union join with the US and India in proposing to the rest of the world a moratorium on nuclear explosions for a mutually agreed period of time. The US would be interested in hearing the Soviet Government's views on this matter. If the Soviets should agree to a moratorium on nuclear explosions, the US would then have to consider whether it could accept such an agreement without the inclusion of some kind of inspection clause. If the US could not accept such an agreement, it would be necessary to negotiate a bilateral agreement with India. The Department might also wish to consider the possibility of proposing a moratorium on nuclear explosions to the Soviets without making any mention of India. This would have the advantage of avoiding any appearance of trying to coerce India into a position which might be unpopular with its public. The disadvantage would be that the Soviets might not accept the proposal, in which case the US would have to negotiate a bilateral agreement with India. The US would also have to consider the possibility that the Soviets might accept the proposal, in which case the US would have to negotiate a three-power agreement with India and the Soviet Union.

TOP SECRET Illustrative: (a) India (and perhaps Japan) have nuclear development programs sufficiently advanced so that they could by now have produced a nuclear explosion; their programs, however, have been directed rather at peaceful uses of atomic energy. (b) Observers are puzzled by the failure of the Chinese Communists, who have been engaged in an effort which started in 1950, thus far to explode a nuclear device of their own. Since several other powers pioneered the way, the technological requirements for producing such an explosion have become widely known. Communist China has scientists, including ones trained abroad, of requisite capability; the essential raw materials; and suitable testing areas. It accordingly can only be speculated that Communist China has (1) organized its effort poorly, or (2) realizes that nuclear weapons are not ones which will contribute to realization of its expansive aims--since world opinion, which will condemn all aggression in proportion as it can be identified as such, will tolerate aggression with nuclear weapons even less than aggression by conventional armed forces.

PURPOSE: - Convince the Justice Ministry to find a means to allow U.S. Customs visits to facilities suspected of exporting prison-made goods to the U.S. in order to conclude during your visit an MOU on prison labor: -- We should encourage Justice to incorporate into the draft MOU the oral understanding on prison visits reached by the Secretary and his counterpart in November, and to allow visits by Customs officials accredited to our embassy in Beijing. -- We can avoid a potential confrontation without compromising Chinese sovereignty by adopting this pragmatic solution. - If we are unable to obtain a clear commitment to allow visits, Congress could require strong enforcement measures or curtail or condition China's MFN status. (2) Urge Justice to provide updated information on the welfare of well-known political and religious prisoners and reiterate the necessity of allowing international monitoring of such prisoners. II. PARTICIPANTS U.S. China Under Secretary Kanter Vice Minister Lu Jian Ambassador Roy Attachments: Tab 1 - Talking Points Tab 2 - Political Prisoner List Tab 3 - Religious Prisoner List Tab 4 - Biographic Information The Justice Ministry grudgingly assembled the prisoners' list in response given to the Secretary in November, but has been reluctant to provide more details about the location and welfare of the prisoners. The ministry understands the broader foreign policy ramifications of their detention policies, and should be reminded that the holding of political and religious dissidents tarnishes China's international image and hampers development of Sino-U.S. relations. Minister Cai argued to the Secretary that conditions in Chinese prisons are among the best in the world and cited Warren Burger as praising China's penal system. Allegations to the contrary, he asserted, were slander and rumors fabricated by opponents of China. The Secretary urged Cai to permit the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to have access to Chinese prisons. Cai argued incorrectly that the ICRC visited prisons only during times of war. Despite China's negative response so far, we need to continue to stress the need to provide some kind of regular international access to Chinese prisons. We can persuasively argue that such access is in China's interest as a means of rebutting unsubstantiated charges of torture and other mistreatment of prisoners.

The shoulder pain inhibits my ability to do chores and to groom myself. Afterward, I started to struggle with dressing and lifting my arm. The shoulder pain onset was gradual, and I have body aches, frequent muscle tension, severe muscle weakness, muscle spasms, and soreness across my shoulders. I feel less coordinated, and have pain under my left arm, severe frontal and parietal headaches, and nausea. I feel weak from shoulder to the elbow of my vaccinated arm, sweats, chills, joint aches, and stiffness. There are some unusual pains down the sides of my fingers, and inconsistent tremor of my right hand greater than my left. I also have vertigo, abnormal involuntary movements, memory loss, weakness in my left arm and left leg, and an inability to exercise. I get very ill when I try to exercise. According to my doctor, molecular mimicry is a potential mechanism for these adverse events. In such cases, a vaccine specifically activates cross-reactive T cells or antibodies that initiate a process, which ultimately injures the host’s nerve tissues. My GP said it is to do with 'nerves' and he referred me to a neurologist. The list of investigations that would prove worthwhile is deltoid muscle biopsy, plasma creatine kinase levels, MRI shoulder, EKG, nerve conduction studies, and brain perfusion scan.

I have been married since 4 years. Now, Me and My husband are planning a baby. We are trying from last more than six months but no success. I earlier had a regular menstrual cycle of 38 days but from last 4-5 months, my period have become irregular. I consulted 1 doctor (Dr. Himangi Nengi) who advised me to do follicular monitoring. In that monitoring, Ovulation didn't occur, so she gave me ovulation Tablets (Fertomid 50) for five days from Day 3rd of my period to Day 7th. I am regularly following this medication from last 2 months and ovulation also happens but still, I am not able to concieve. Can you please suggest what should I do now and please suggest some best Gyneo/Infertility Doctors. Thanks Kaur HIThanks for posting your query. First of all the cause for infertility has to be evaluated . It could be due to some problems in you or your husband or both . So both of you have to get evaluated. I advise you to get the following tests done . Serum TSH, FSH, LH, Prolactin, AMH, Ultrasound Abdomen Pelvis and Serum Vitamin D 3. Also get Semen Analysis and Serum Vitamin D3 for your husband and revert back with reports. If you can tell me from which place you are I can suggest some good Infertility Doctors.

What is the implication of it to my health? Also, what can I do about it? Thanks! Hi, Your platelet count is low and this can predispose you to bleeding from the nose, from the gums, under the skin ( in the form of red spots) and prolonged bleeding from cuts. The cause would need to be determined by doing a bone marrow biopsy. The treatment would depend upon the identified cause. Meanwhile, I would suggest you get a platelet count done weekly and totally avoid situations where you can get injured. Your cholesterol levels are high and this has been found to predispose you to heart disease and other diseases of the blood vessels. They need to be managed with a mixture of dietary interventions and drugs like statins. Please have a low fat diet with your saturated fat intake Exercise for atleast 50 minutes daily. This should be primarily cardiovascular exercise like walking, jogging, skipping or swimming. Speak with your physician about the need for statins like atorvastatin.

(Emergency reporting requirements are automatically approved for six months under the OMB regulations.) However, it gave FERC several conditions that would have to be met before the reporting requirements could be extended. OMB has advised FERC that, if it decides to request renewal of the Information Collection Request after that date, it must address certain issues as part of its supporting statement (more specifically, ""include an explicit discussion""). As you may remember, in addition to requesting rehearing of the FERC order, ENA and EES submitted comments to OMB regarding our problems with FERC's estimate of the burden on affected companies of the proposed collection of information. We pointed out that we do not manage our business in the manner contemplated by the reporting requirements, much less keep our records in that manner. We manage our business on an aggregated basis, and complying with the requirements will require us to implement significant manual review and analysis to arbitrarily define the components of a sale. We stated that we might even have to hire full-time staff to dedicate to the task. The issues that we raised in our comments are the same ones that OMB requires FERC to address if they submit a request for approval to extend the reporting requirements past 1/31/02. (FERC indicated in its July order that it intended to extend the reporting requirement through 9/30/02 to coincide with the end date of its mitigation plan.) OMB questioned the practical utility of requiring disaggregated data when ""commenters"" reported that they did not maintain the data in a way that allowed them to report it that way. OMB expressed concern that the data collection would require significant data manipulation in order to respond, and the resulting disaggregation would likely be artificial. OMB also required FERC to evaluate its burden estimates after ""consulting with respondents"", and it must provide a list of the names, affiliates, and phone numbers of the respondents it contacted. FERC has not yet issued an order on our rehearing request. While we would not expect them to withdraw the reporting requirements entirely, it may be that the OMB action will affect their final decision.

NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL 4 WASHINGTON, D.C. 20506 National Security Decision Memorandum . TO: The Secretary of State The Secretary of Defense The Director of Central Intelligence SUBJECT: Implications for U.S. Policy of the Participation of The People's Republic of China in Multilateral Diplomacy The President has reviewed the paper prepared in response to National Security Study Memorandum 141. He agrees with the study's conclusion that difficult policy choices are not presented, that our problems are essentially tactical, and that common sense usually suggests the limits within which answers will be found. He believes, in general, that the issues discussed in the study carry a greater immediate potential for disagreement than for cooperation between the U.S. and China. He therefore wishes, when possible, to defer all action on these issues until after his visit to Peking has further clarified the U.S.-PRC relationship. Accordingly, the President believes that our actions in the period before his visit should be governed by the following general principles: 1. Our overall aim should be to defer, for the time being, any action likely to force or encourage the Chinese to take positions on multilateral issues. 2. Where we must deal with the Chinese, we should adopt a businesslike posture and deal with them matter-of-factly without appearing either to be unduly solicitous or aloof. 3. On issues on which the Chinese directly challenge or attack U.S. policies, we must, to some extent, tailor the tone of the response to the challenge, but should, in any case, strive to keep our statements factual, non-polemical, and brief. Following the President's China visit, we will review the NSSM 141 study to consider, in the light of his Peking discussions, what positions we might take toward the PRC in the U.N. and other multilateral forums.

Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best.

The estimated number of refugees in Pakistan has risen from 99,000 in April 1979 to approximately 153,000 in September 1979, and then doubled again in January 1980. Many more unregistered refugees are believed to have been absorbed into the local population. Soviet anti-guerrilla operations continue to expand, and the total number of refugees in Pakistan could reach 1 million by April or May. The first trickle of refugees began to flow toward Pakistan in May 1978, and the rate of registered refugees in camps increased from approximately 10,000 in 1978 to 153,000 in September 1979, and then doubled again in January 1980.

It is fine because it was only two drops. 2. We usually do not go for emesis (vomiting) for phenol poisoning cases. Because, it is a volatile compound and causes vapors entering the lungs through the airways. 3. As it was only two drops, I do not think it may cause much trouble.

It s just that I have had to take upwards of 20 pills everyday, and needed to see what affect not taking so much would have on my daily routine. It s been 3 days and I m functioning okay. What should I do? Hello,the answer depends on important things, like why it was prescribed in the first place. If - for example - you had a coronary artery event or cerebrovascular disease then stopping it increases THE RISK of a new cardiovascular event. I've written RISK in capital to emphasize the fact that stopping plavix won't make any difference in symptoms or the way you feel. It just causes an increased risk for thrombosis (blood clots) which may cause the cardiovascular event.

In conclusion, the development of effective and responsible police forces is an important element of U.S. foreign policy. AID Missions have an important role to play in the development of these forces, and they should work closely with other U.S. agencies and the host government to insure that their programs are coordinated and complementary.

The other component is due to external agents like environmental exposure, sunlight, use of any cosmetics etc and is amenable to treatment.You can get a series of chemical peels, which actually remove the upper dead layers of skin and stimulate regeneration of collagen and thus newer layers of skin. Many options are available in chemical peels depending on the requirement and skin type. (Glycolic peel, retinol peel, cocktail peel etc)Also, chemical peeling can be preceded by a simple procedure called microderamabrasion or commonly known as skin polishing to augment the results.Also, at home you can try using cream containing kojic acid, tetrahydrocurcumin, arbutin etc for several months (Melaglow cream) for additional benefit and maintenance.Always use broad spectrum sunscreen before going out in sun.Use a plain moisturiser like cetaphil DAM on daily basis for healthy and hydrated skin.Take plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your daily diet.Hope this will take care of your issue.Thank youDr Hardik Pitroda",Confidential "WARNING: Your mailbox is approaching the size limit This warning is sent automatically to inform you that your mailbox is approaching the maximum size limit.

APPROACH Our policy of high-level engagement with China, initiated at your most recent meeting with Vice Premier Qian Qichen (September 30 in New York), has resulted in useful trips to China by Agriculture Secretary Espy, Deputy USTR Barshefsky, Assistant Secretary Shattuck, and DOD Assistant Secretary Freeman, and a similarly constructive visit to Washington by Vice Foreign Minister Liu Huaqiu. Our consistent message has been that Chinese progress is needed sooner rather than later in nonproliferation, trade, and especially human rights, if we are to achieve the fundamental improvement in our relations that both sides support. We have also made clear that the bilaterals in Seattle between Vice Premier Qian and you and between Presidents Clinton and Jiang are particularly propitious opportunities to show progress in the U.S.-China relationship. Real differences over human rights, trade, and nonproliferation continue to exist. Nevertheless, in response to our constant message that relations will suffer without significant progress on their part in all three areas, the Chinese have made positive gestures and indicated willingness to do more. Your meeting with Qian will set the stage for the presidential bilateral, the first meeting between American and Chinese Presidents since before the June 1989 Tiananmen Square incident. The key message to convey is that serious positive steps are urgently needed and that we are prepared to take our own steps to improve relations. Your approach should be to stress the principal issues requiring progress; to make clear President Clinton's personal commitment to improved relations with China, providing the Chinese make the necessary progress on issues of concern; and to reveal our decision on satellites as a sign of our willingness to improve relations. If a mutually convenient time can be arranged, you may wish to propose to Qian another meeting in Seattle following that between the two presidents. You should also take this opportunity to express to Qian the importance of U.S.-Chinese cooperation on regional issues like North Korea and Iran.",Confidential "I am 45 years old and had a pregnancy 21 years after a tubal ligation that ended in miscarriage in Dec. 2009, an ectopic 6 months after that which my doctor advised to have my left ovary (due to cysts ) and both tubes removed in May 2010. I now have not had a period since Jan. 10th...have had mild pregnancy symptoms and my lower abdomen is hard. Home preganacy tests and qualitative hcg tests came back negative. My hormone and thyroid levels have been checked and are normal, as were the luteal phase so he says I m not in perimenopause. I m very concerned that I could have an ectopic, but am wondering the chances of that happening. Hi, In the current scenario, I would advise you to go for a trans-vaginal sonogram to exclude any local causes for the amenorrhoea. If you are not pregnant, and as your hormonal profile is normal, then the cause for the delayed period could be inadequate ovarian function as you have only one ovary left and owing to your age, the ovarian reserve of your other ovary is also likely to be less.

It believed that arms control was a tool of foreign policy, to be used when it served our national interest. He said the US was not an arms control fanatic; it was a realist. Ambassador Seignious noted that this view was not shared by all of our allies but that it was the view of the US administration. He said that the US had had some success in arms control, but that it had been limited. He said that the US was interested in arms control for several reasons. First, it was interested in avoiding nuclear war. We believed that the risk of nuclear war was greater than it should be. We believed that we had to take steps to reduce that risk. We had to take steps to reduce the risk of nuclear war because of the catastrophic consequences that would result from such a war. Secondly, we were interested in arms control because of the cost of the arms race. We believed that the arms race was dangerous to our own economy and to the world economy. The United States spent a great deal of money on defense. We believed that we could reduce our defense expenditures without jeopardizing our security. We believed that we could reduce our defense expenditures by negotiating arms control agreements. Moreover, we believed that we could reduce the arms race itself. Thirdly, we were interested in arms control because of its political implications. We believed that arms control could lead to improved relations between the United States and the Soviet Union. We believed that arms control could lead to reduced tensions between the superpowers. We believed that arms control could lead to increased stability in the world. Ambassador Seignious noted that the US had had some success in arms control. We had negotiated SALT I and SALT II. We had negotiated the Threshold Test Ban Treaty. We had negotiated the Limited Test Ban Treaty. We had negotiated the Non- Proliferation Treaty. We had negotiated the Biological Weapons Convention. We had negotiated the Chemical Weapons Convention. We had negotiated the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty. We had negotiated the Incidents at Sea Agreement. We had negotiated the Hot Line. We had negotiated the ABM Treaty. We had negotiated the MBFR Agreement. We had negotiated the CSCE Final Act. We had negotiated the Helsinki Accords. We had negotiated these agreements because we believed that they served our national interest. We had negotiated these agreements because we believed that they were in the interest of world peace. We had negotiated these agreements because we believed that they were in the interest of stability. We had negotiated these agreements because we believed that they were in the interest of arms control. We had not negotiated these agreements because we believed that arms control was an end in itself. We had negotiated these agreements because we believed that arms control was a means to an end. The end that we sought was world peace. The means that we used was arms control. delegation to take a positive attitude in Geneva and to work with the PRC delegation there. He said that he hoped that the PRC would take a similar attitude in the CD. Ae Ambassador Seignious said that he would like to leave with the PRC the thought that the US and the PRC have a common interest in the control of nuclear weapons. As we move forward, we must understand what we share in common and what we do not share. We must develop a dialogue that will enable us to move forward in the direction of our mutual interest. Ambassador Seignious added that the US and the PRC should not be adversaries. We must be able to talk to each other. The US has no designs on the PRC. We have no desire to change the political structure of the PRC. We do have a commitment to the security of our friends and allies in the region. We hope that the PRC will share this commitment to regional security and will work with us to maintain it. Ambassador Seignious concluded by expressing his appreciation for the PRC's hospitality and for the opportunity to meet with the PRC representatives. He said that he hoped that this meeting would be the beginning of a fruitful dialogue between the US and the PRC on arms control and other important issues. ted to bilateral relations. The Vice Minister said he hoped that the PRC would be able to participate in some of the multilateral negotiations in the future, but that this would depend on the development of bilateral relations with the US. Ambassador Seignious thanked the Vice Minister for his comments and said he would report them to Washington. He pointed out that the US has been in the arms control business for a long time and has had a lot of experience. However, the US is always willing to learn from others, and he was sure that the US delegation to the CD would be willing to learn from the Chinese delegation. Ambassador to the CD to be as helpful as he could to the Chinese Ambassador. General Seignious briefly reviewed at this point several of the issues which would be on the agenda at the CD beginning in February. He mentioned specifically chemical weapons and radiological weapons. The superpowers must limit their arms before the smaller powers can begin. He said this approach is fundamentally correct, but not sufficient. The United States is willing to reduce, as we demonstrated in our March 1977 proposal to the Soviet Union, but the Soviets have refused. All powers, small and large, must join in pressuring the Soviets to reduce. Ambassador Seignious said that Chinese participation in the CD will make a profound impression on world opinion. The PRC is known as a self-reliant nation, and its opinions will be highly respected. For example, Chinese support for nuclear free zones is well-known. There are other ways in which the PRC could reaffirm its support for the principle of nuclear free areas. For example, it could accede to the Outer Space Treaty and the Seabeds Treaty, both of which have as their primary aim barring the stationing of nuclear weapons in vast areas of man's environment. Ambassador Seignious concluded by saying that he was proud to have been involved in the beginning of the US-Chinese dialogue on arms control, and was convinced that Chinese participation would make the world a more secure and safer place. The Vice Minister thanked Ambassador Seignious for his systematic introduction to US thinking on arms control. It will help the PRC better understand basic arms control concepts. DECLASSIFIED The Vice Minister said he did not have much to add to the Ambassador's statement. Chinese positions are well-known. These positions are principled, though not yet formulated in some specific areas of disarmament. He could endorse, however, one point made by Ambassador Seignious, and that is that all arms control proposals must be examined in the light of national security interests. The Vice Minister continued that the strengthening of a state's arms capability is not incompatible with arms control. If properly used, arms control can add to defense capability. The development of armaments of countries varies; therefore views on arms control vary as well. It is an objective fact that in the present world the two superpowers have the largest arsenals - larger than the arsenals of all the other nations combined. The primary danger to the world thus stems from these two superpowers. In today's world, however, it is the Soviet Union which is expansionist and the greater threat to world peace. Though the US has a large arsenal, it is difficult for it alone to thwart the Soviet Union. The PRC and the US must therefore work together. Because of this, the PRC does not take a negative view of the recent US defense budget increases, nor does it take a negative view of US military assistance to other nations. The Vice Minister said he, of course, had known that the US has a positive view of SALT II. Ambassador Seignious' explanation had helped him understand why this is the case. The Vice Minister thanked Ambassador Seignious for his instructions to the US Ambassador to the CD to cooperate closely with the Chinese Ambassador. The PRC will be a newcomer to the conference and will be depending on their American colleagues for assistance. On the question of bilateral efforts, the Vice Minister said he agreed we need to deepen relations in order to discern common interests in arms control. The two sides would be keeping in contact in order to do this. He thanked Ambassador Seignious for his advice on multilateral questions. The PRC has not made a deep study of many of these issues, since its primary attention has usually been devoted to bilateral relations. The Vice Minister said he hoped that the PRC would be able to participate in some of the multilateral negotiations in the future, but that this would depend on the development of bilateral relations with the US. Ambassador Seignious thanked the Vice Minister for his comments and said he would report them to Washington. He pointed out that the US has been in the arms control business for a long time and has had a lot of experience. However, the US is always willing to learn from others, and he was sure that the US delegation to the CD would be willing to learn from the Chinese delegation. The Vice Minister again thanked Ambassador Seignious for this chance to meet, and expressed the hope that the United States and China would keep in contact on these matters through many channels. Ambassador Seignious responded that we would be happy to do so, and that upon request we would send a team to Beijing to discuss the history of arms control and to provide briefs and literature on these subjects. Or, if the PRC wished, it could send a delegation to Washington. We can, he continued, establish our own ""hotline"" on arms control matters. The Vice Minister thanked Ambassador Seignious for the offer. He said the PRC will consider sending or receiving a team, and suggested that for that eventuality the sides should exchange agenda items.",Confidential "City meet. 7 hk. ma.

Maximize utilization of contracts to provide support. All air controllers would be Philippine Air Force personnel trained, certified, and evaluated by USAF. Maintenance and ownership of radar and associated support equipment would remain the responsibility of USAF. DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF INTELLIGENCE FEC: 17 May 1977 CLASSIFICATION SCHEDULE OF AUTOMATICALLY DECLASSIFIED INFORMATION AT 2 YEAR INTERVALS 7 MAY 1977 Retain a contingent of USAF air controllers to provide coordination of US flying operations, combat sage, and standardization of PAF controllers. Implementation of the above concept would result in savings of 78 US military personnel. The trade-off would be a loss in US air capability as reflected by the following impact statements: Implementation would degrade training due to missed intercepts, etc. May increase potential for accidents as language problems may affect flying safety. Would severely degrade theater contingency support capability as Wallace is the primary source for additional air controllers required for contingencies. Another area for consideration of turnover to Philippine control is the John Hay recreational area. The John Hay recreational installation is of considerable commercial value. It should be viewed as an important bargaining chip and considered for reversion only in exchange for appropriate concessions gained in the negotiations. Recent management initiatives have reduced US military presence to 14 supervisors, the lowest level necessary to support utilization of the facility. The majority of management functions and all labor required to operate the base are being performed by Filipinos. The long line communications operation at John Hay would be retained by the Air Force.",Confidential "Thank you Squamous cells were recently discovered in a biobsy of my vagina. I had a complete hysterectomy in 2010 for uterine cancer followed up by radiation. My gyn oncology doctor's nurse recently called and said the doctor isn't concerned and to come back for my regular 6 month checkup. Needless to say I am a little concerned. Cancer is cancer. Hi,Thanks for writing in.You have been treated by hysterectomy and radiation for uterine cancer in 2010 and recently had a vagina biopsy done as follow up. You are concerned about the presence of squamous cells in your vagina biopsy.The vagina is lined by a layer of flat cells called squamous cells. This layer of cells is also called epithelium or epithelial lining, because it is formed by epithelial cells. Any abnormal growth and multiplication of these squamous cells is an indication for cancer. In your situation, squamous cells are seen in the vagina (which is normal) and no mention about it being abnormal in morphology (appearance) or mitotic activity (multiplication) is there.Your report is normal and not a cause for concern at the moment.Hope this helps.",Confidential "I am still having pain in my right bottom calf leg.

I am out of my home state and he has fl medicaid and What I have been told is his medicaid would not cover him in another state!! And I do not have his card on me! Hi...fever with burning sensation could be a symptom of viral illness. Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.Paracetamol can be given in the dose of 15mg/kg/dose (maximum ceiling dose of 500mg) every 4-6th hourly that too only if fever is more than 100F. I suggest not using combination medicines for fever, especially with Paracetamol.But if there is any rash or redness over the area of burning which you are quoting - I suggest you get him checked by a doctor.Regards - Dr. Sumanth",Confidential "Hi, my name is David and I have a liver tumor 10cm hanging off the tip of my right liver lobe.

It is very uncomfortable and my right side and right intestinal is kind of hard and bloated. I am scheduled for a consult at Georgetown U Hosp on the 30th, but all I can think is ""Get this the hell out of me!"" The oncologist sugggested surgery to remove asap but the hospitals wouldn't schedule before 30th. I have a consult at Hopkins on April 4th. I am having this sense of urgency. How quickly can something like this progress or move? Hi David, How are you? I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and I understand your apprehension about the tumour. But Liver cancers in general tend to grow very slowly and are generally less aggressive than the other cancers. They usually appear in patients suffering from cirrhosis, esp due to hepatitis c. In your case I take it that your rest of the liver is normal. You also mentioned that the tumour is hanging off the tip of the lobe - this is very good for you for two reasons : 1. There is a very very low chance that the tumor can involve or invade a blood vessel, which would alter your prognosis to the negative to a great extent (very common in tumours growing inside the liver). 2. Surgical removal becomes very easy as the surgeon does not need to go through the main liver tissue to resect the tumor. Although the operating surgeon is the best judge (and also since I do not have access to your scans), in these kind of tumors, he could potentially get away with resecting just 2 cm of the tip of the liver. I often resect these kinds of tumors laparoscopically and you should explore the possibility with your surgeon.

I have minor medical knowledge, and know to get to ER if this gets worse and report to the doctor, but...was just wondering...do I need to go sooner than later? Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to HCM. I carefully read your concern. You are a 55-year old woman, which is a borderline age for risk for cardiovascular disease. The pain in the chest you described, which is triggered by effort and goes away when you stop, fulfils some criteria of angina (chest pain caused by narrowing of coronary arteries - the arteries that surround the heart like a crown, hence the name, and supply its muscle with oxygen and nutrients). Of course, in this level of conversation, when none of the test were carried out, this is just an assumption judging by the characteristics of the pain. Therefore, I would strongly recommend you to do a cardiac check-up: EKG, echocardiogram and cardiac stress test. Also, I would recommend you to be put on a 24-hour blood pressure monitor, to determine if there is also high blood pressure (hypertension) or not. As for the rapid heart rate, if it goes up while exerting, and remains regular, then my opinion is that there is nothing to worry about. There is a simple formula for this - the heart rate accepted as normal, at a person that is exercising, is 220-age (165 beats per minute, in your case). My further recommendations would be, that you should do a complete blood count and measure the levels of the following cell derivatives: - glucose - HbA1c - urea and creatinine - AST, ALT, GGT - electrolytes - total cholesterol, LDL- and HDL-fraction, triglycerides I hope I wash helpful and thorough, with my answer.

On July 3 and August 4, we sent you two major papers which explored policy options on how we might proceed this year in the process of U.S.-PRC normalization. We understood your assumption that the various post-Indochina and pre-1976 considerations, as well as some objective arguments, make a move to full normalization very unlikely in conjunction with the President's trip to Peking in December, and your inclination to seek progress in our relationship with the Chinese through ""half-step"" measures. From this policy perspective, the present paper is designed to give you a tactical approach to your (and the President's) dealings with PRC officials over the coming three months. The following analysis seeks to: - Describe briefly the state of play of the PRC leadership situation which you and the President will face this fall. - Analyze the posture Peking has adopted regarding the President's trip, and China's longer-term strategy for dealing with the U.S. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE - Suggest a counter-strategy for our dealings with the Chinese, and how such a strategy could be implemented in the context of the various fall leadership meetings. - And finally, highlight for you a number of decisions which must be made, or planning measures which must be implemented, if we are to prepare in an orderly manner for the President's trip and your October advance. Peking's Politics on the Eve of the President's Trip Until the end of August, the PRC domestic political scene seemed to be moving in the direction of greater stabilization, reestablishment of Party rule under the active leadership of Teng Hsiao-p'ing and Chang Ch'un-ch'iao, the rehabilitation of senior cadre purged during the Cultural Revolution, and public emphasis on a law and order program of economic development and political unification. A meeting of the Military Affairs Commission in June and July restored to active public life former Chief of Staff Lo Jui-ch'ing (purged in 1965), and made decisions which seemed to shift China's national defense line toward an emphasis on military professionalism and technological sophistication, and away from the politicized guerilla warfare approach of the 1960s. At the turn of September, however, a new political polemic burst forth amidst otherwise bland press accounts of economic development projects, surfacing what appear to be serious tensions within the leadership over a broad range of policy issues. We frankly cannot estimate at this point in time the full import of the policy debate which seems to be reflected in the current criticism of Mao's favorite novel Water Margin (All Men Are Brothers). The themes in this press campaign do, however, reflect issues which have been visible in Peking's political debate for the past several years: how far to go in rehabilitating leaders purged during the Cultural Revolution; the future of the Party's left wing; the role of the military; and China's orientation to the U.S. and Soviets. What has made the current material of particular interest, however, is the way in which it directly criticizes ""the Emperor"" for granting amnesty to rebellious officials. This obviously has implications for Teng Hsiao-p'ing and the other rehabilitated leaders. In this sense, the current polemic appears to be a continuation of the debate reflected in the August 1974 Chinese Communist Party Central Committee document ""Concerning the Present Situation and Our Tasks,"" which was a major attempt to define the post-Cultural Revolution order. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE believe that the U.S. is trying to split China from the Soviet Union, others believe that the U.S. is only interested in ""luring China in deep"" in order to achieve its own strategic objectives. This latter view, which Yao is said to hold, is that the U.S. is trying to use the prospect of improved relations with China to put pressure on the Soviet Union to make concessions in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) and on other issues. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE 3 most observers of the Chinese scene find hard to accept, were it not for past instances of press criticism of the Chairman in historical polemics which have been admitted to by the PRC, and the indications in 1974 of uncertainty about Mao's position -- most obviously his long absence from Peking and non-participation in the Party Plenum and National People's Congress in January of this year. All of this is occurring, of course, against the background of repeated reports of Mao's, and Chou's, failing health -- the most recent of which USLO conveyed from the Romanian ambassador in Peking, a man with access to senior Chinese leaders and in the past a reliable reporter. The implications of this situation for our dealings with the PRC this fall are varied, and to some degree mutually contradictory. The storm may pass without much effect on our relationship; yet Peking may also be entering a period of immobilism on contentious issues (such as the next stage in their relations with the U.S.), and the authority of senior leaders -- even Mao -- may be dissipating. If the Chairman really is under attack, he will have even less flexibility in dealing with us on normalization issues than has been the case thus far. Indeed, it is possible that Peking may prefer to avoid addressing the contentious issues between us under present circumstances. Alternatively, however, it could be argued that in view of the current signs of debate in Peking on policy toward the U.S. and USSR, it is all the more urgent to draw on Mao's authority -- somewhat attenuated though it may be -- to consolidate a relationship with Peking, and to undercut those in China who argue that the U.S. is just dragging its heels on normalization while using its relationship with the PRC essentially as leverage on the Soviet Union. This point of view can be countered, of course, by the argument that if Peking's leadership situa- tion is so unstable even a relatively favorable deal on normalization might not stick. We are well aware that -- quite apart from the conflicting implications for U.S.-PRC relations of the present leadership situation in Peking -- our national policy should basically reflect U.S. interests and the degree of support the President may have at any given time for making difficult decisions. At the same time, however, one factor which should be considered in formulating a strategy for the Peking summit is the state of China's internal political scene, and the strategy the PRC is adopting for dealing with us. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE 4. Peking's Strategy: ""Lure the Enemy in Deep"" In early June Teng Hsiao-p'ing told a group of visiting American newspaper editors that Peking will welcome the President whether or not he has major business to transact. This gesture (subsequently confirmed to you in private by Ambassador Huang) seems to have been prompted by concern in Peking that Mr. Ford might postpone or cancel his trip to China as a result of the unfavorable political climate in the U.S. generated by events in Indochina. The Chinese clearly want this fall's Presidential visit to take place. CAS reporting over the past two months has revealed that the PRC is briefing its cadre privately that the President will be welcome this fall, but that not very much should be expected in the way of results of the visit. In short, Peking does not want its own people to develop excessive expectations about the possibility for progress in the normalization process. One particularly sensitive report attributes to Politburo member and ideologue Yao Wen-yuan the view that the leadership in Peking is still somewhat divided over how to welcome Mr. Ford, but that there is a consensus that the Presidential visit will not lead to a significant improvement in relations. Yao also asserted that while some in the PRC leadership believe that the U.S. is trying to split China from the Soviet Union, others believe that the U.S. is only interested in ""luring China in deep"" in order to achieve its own strategic objectives. This latter view, which Yao is said to hold, is that the U.S. is trying to use the prospect of improved relations with China to put pressure on the Soviet Union to make concessions in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) and on other issues. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE ay be used to justify continuing a hardline stance toward the Soviet Union and rejecting any compromises with the U.S. that might be seen as weakening China's position in relation to the Soviets. Initially believed the U.S. was sincere in wanting to improve bilateral relations with Beijing, there is now some feeling of having been deceived and that Washington is just using the China connection to pressure the Soviets. Yao added that despite this feeling there is not likely to be a serious deterioration in U.S.-China relations as a result of the President's trip, although the normalization process will be retarded because of doubts about the Administration's ""sincerity."" What is Beijing's current strategy for dealing with us? While as Yao Wen-yuan's remark suggests, there may be divided opinion on this question, the mainstream of opinion in Beijing seems to be that while China should seek a settlement of the Taiwan question at some point, the present semi-normal relationship with the U.S. is of value to the PRC for security reasons even in the absence of a resolution of the future of the island. Beijing has engaged in a concerted campaign to make this point clear to us and to the Soviets. Some leaders may even be arguing that in the wake of Indochina, Beijing does not need further changes in the East Asian power balance which could set in motion forces which the PRC is not fully prepared to contend with. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE In addition, the Chinese may also be calculating that the President's chances of being elected in 1976 are reasonably good, but not strong. They very likely prefer the continued incumbency of a Republican Administration they know and have certain understandings with, and may have decided not to jeopardize Mr. Ford's chances of election by refraining from pressuring him on what they know are contentious domestic issues associated with normalization. Teng Hsiao-ping's reminder to you of last November that ""while you owe us a debt, we can wait if you still need Taiwan"" seems to have additional tactical advantages to the Chinese. Beijing may be calculating that by adopting a posture of patience with the U.S., they will put the Administration in a psychological posture of being beholden to them for their ""generosity"" - a sense of indebtedness for not being pressured on the Nixon assurance of normalization by 1976. The Chinese may also calculate that in a second Ford term, the PRC will be in a more favorable strategic position to press us. Given the current signs in our public debate of erosion of support for detente with the Soviet Union, Beijing may hope that in two or three years, worsened relations with Moscow will make the Administration all the more desirous of maintaining leverage over the USSR through good relations with the PRC. As well, recent signs of progress in China's ICBM, submarine, and early warning radar development programs hold out for Beijing the prospect of being able to deal with the Russians (and us) from a less vulnerable strategic position in the next five to ten years. In short, for a combination of strategic and psychological reasons, the Chinese appear to have decided that if the U.S. is unwilling to move to full normalization, both PRC interests and good tactics are served by playing out the present relationship with us for the next year or so. A less evident line of argumentation in Beijing - but one which seems to be reflected in continuing criticism in PRC media of those who would compromise with ""social-imperialism"" - may be that China should expect no increment to her security from dealings with the U.S. Some may be arguing that China's relationship with Washington is, in fact, inciting Moscow to take more active measures to encircle and pressure China, and that PRC security interests will be better served by reducing tensions with the Soviets than by seeking to counterweight them by tilting toward an increasingly passive U.S. At the least, this line of debate may be used to justify continuing a hardline stance toward the Soviet Union and rejecting any compromises with the U.S. that might be seen as weakening China's position in relation to the Soviets. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE suggests to the Chinese that we are still interested in improving relations, but that we are also aware of their manipulative attempts to put us in their debt. This approach would also allow us to maintain some flexibility in the future, depending on how the Chinese respond to our proposals. We suggest that this line of approach be pursued further in your meetings with Huang Chen and with the President. We believe it offers the best chance of maintaining some momentum in our relationship with China, while also avoiding the appearance of being completely on the defensive. However, we also recognize that this approach may not be entirely satisfactory to the Chinese, who may still see it as a sign of weakness and hesitation on our part. Therefore, we recommend that we be prepared to take a tougher stance if necessary, and to make it clear to the Chinese that we will not be manipulated or indebted to them. This could include putting pressure on them through hard tactics, such as trade restrictions or military maneuvers. In summary, we believe that the best counter-strategy for the U.S. in dealing with China is to put them on the defensive by maintaining a firm but flexible stance. We should make it clear that we are still committed to the objectives of the Shanghai Communique, but that we will not be manipulated or indebted to the Chinese. By maintaining this position, we can potentially gain more from an independent position in the great power triangle than by adopting a position of strident hostility to the Russians combined with a relatively accommodating attitude toward the Americans. There is, to be sure, a possibility that the Chinese might, unexpectedly, counter an expression of interest in normalizing on our part with a relatively favorable response. Deal. It is highly unlikely, however, that such a Chinese response would be so forthcoming as to place us in the position of appearing to renege should we decide to hold back from agreement. We could, moreover, regulate the degree of risk by the way we presented Option 3. Nevertheless, you obviously could not proceed with this approach unless the President were clearly aware of the potential consequences. If he does not want to run the risk of having to consider any Chinese proposals on normalization, then the safest course would be to proceed with Option 2. If you can gain the President's authorization for this approach, however, we believe that U.S. interests will be far better served by it than by Option 1 (while Option 2 will remain as a fallback). At a minimum we will have put the Chinese on the defensive and established a more favorable posture for future negotiations on this issue; at maximum we might unexpectedly reach an agreed formula for full normalization which would gain for the U.S. the long-term strategic advantages of a non-confrontation (if not fully cooperative) relationship with the PRC, and at a cost which would very likely be lower than that which the U.S. would have to pay in the future. Issues for Your Early Decision We now have about a week to prepare for your anticipated September 28 working dinner in New York with Ch'iao Kuan-hua (although the date remains uncertain in the absence of a response from the Chinese). This session with the Foreign Minister represents an important opportunity to set the tone for your October advance trip to Peking. Depending upon the approach which you and the President wish to take in organizing the Peking summit, you can use the Ch'iao dinner to set in motion certain policy processes on the PRC side. In order to prepare for the dinner, and to initiate other planning measures which will enable us to prepare in an orderly way for your October advance trip and the President's visit, we urgently need your guidance on the following questions: TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE Mm AREME DECLASSIFIED, they WAT 22870 ""ASS te, ' mae KARA ie Geta TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE . 10. -- The approach, or approaches, which you and the President wish us to take in preparing briefing materials and talking points.

Decisions on these packages, which are being staffed through the NSC mechanism, will also enable you to inform Peking of future U.S. military draw-downs from the island, something which Mr. Habib, at your instruction, informed the Chinese we would do before the end of the year. RECOMMENDATIONS: -- That you seek the President's concurrence on a general approach for dealing with the Chinese this fall, particularly as it relates to the normalization issue. -- That you meet with us at an early date to provide guidance for preparing for your dinner with Ch'iao and October visit to Peking, and the President's trip.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. These are all myths about masturbation that it will stun the growth and it will have effects on the brain functionality. The only side effect of masturbation is that the body gets used to take all the pleasure from masturbation and libido towards sexual intercourse is reduced, another cause of decreased libido is that when a person masturbates on regular basis his sperm count will reduce and body will make more sperms this will direct most of the testosterone towards sperm formation causing decreased libido.

THE SOURCE CLAIMS THAT THE CHINESE HAVE BEEN SHIPPING ARMS TO THE PHILIPPINES ON A REGULAR BASIS SINCE 1983. THE SOURCE SAYS THAT THE ARMS ARE SENT IN SHIPS AND ARE OFFLOADED BY COMMUNIST CHINESE WORKERS AT THE PORT OF COTABATO IN MINDANAO. THE ARMS ARE THEN TRANSPORTED BY TRUCK TO A SITE IN NORTH COTABATO WHERE THEY ARE HANDED OVER TO MNLF REPRESENTATIVES.

Flexible scoliosis usually doesn't produce such severe symptoms.

Dear friend I am sorry to know you are in such a bad shape.I will suggest you not to go for another nerve block .Your pain just may worsen.You should continuecwith your brace and PT.A regular home regimen of physiotherapy can surely alleviate your most of the problems.You know ,back problem is very common and nagging problem.So instead of thinking about radical surgical approach like nrrve block operation you should settle for conservative way like physiotherapy.also go for some lifestyle changes like avoiding lifting heavyweight,bending forward too much.Hope,in this way you can get rid of this back pain.my best wishes for you.",Confidential "Hi doctor.

On washing, sometimes I pass urine and on passing urine I feel a severe pain at the site from where the urethra originate or at the base of the penis. Many times, I felt that that pain is due to pressence of residual seman which remained in the urethra and the seman,on contact with urine might create pain. As soon as I clear up the urethra by squeezing the residual seman ,pain gradually decreases. Plz, suggest some remedy for night fall and specially to counteract the pain.

I am quite sensitive to dust and get sinusitis along with blocked nose and stuffed head often. Around three to four weeks back, I had small red bumps on the roof of my mouth. When I consulted with a doctor, they suggested Augmentin 65 for a week as I was having some viral or bacterial infection in my throat as well. After a week, I was feeling fine. Again since last two weeks, I have thick phlegm like in my nostrils and very much dry. The dry mucus was hard and yellow in color. On cleaning, it was painful and discomfort in swallowing, but these bumps are making me panic, I have had few tonsil stones come out of my tonsils also, which on seeing a spot I cleaned using a cotton bud. I am very much worried about my recurrent throat infections as well as these bumps as shown in the picture. My medical history includes the following. I was diagnosed with acid reflux before four years and has been taking medicine and following diet control on food. Though I did keep it under control, at times, I get heartburn after a particular food, but it goes away immediately. I also get recurrent sinusitis. I had been falling for pharyngitis due to consumption of cold items. A doctor advised me to have Septilin on a daily basis and for long, and I feel it controlled my infections. Also, seven months back I had trouble sleeping due to severe back pain upon lying down to sleep. When consulted and took an MRI, it resulted in a spine disc hitting a vein causing pain at different angles. My habits include eats quite rightly all meals, but at times skip breakfast and occasional alcohol consumption. I am a software engineer, and hence, at times I have trouble having a proper sleep of 6 to 8 hours. Hello. You have very precisely described your problem with pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I appreciate that. My diagnosis of your condition based on your symptoms is chronic or recurrent acute rhinosinusitis, which is causing chronic pharyngitis. Rhinosinusitis produces thick mucus or phlegm that runs down your throat and causes those bumps. The bumps are in fact lymph nodules, which get inflamed due to the post-nasal drip occurring due to rhinosinusitis. The same mucus or phlegm due to air currents inside nasal cavity dries up to form crusts. The crusts when pulled off, strips the nasal mucosa (inner lining of the nose) and causes a temporary bleed. Secondly, your oropharynx (the region is shown in your picture) shows telltale signs of chronic inflammation. They are the granular posterior pharyngeal wall (the bumps), congested anterior faucial pillars (the rashes on the roof of the mouth - soft palate or pillars) and the enlarged tonsils. These may cause recurrent throat pains and sore throat, which may require taking a frequent antibiotic course. Dust, one of the primary causative agents of allergy, worsens sinusitis by causing blocked sinus ostium, which causes proper ventilation of sinuses. You may note down various times when your allergy and sinusitis get triggered, like certain locations, certain food items, certain habits, etc. Kindly do the CT scan and send me the report as well as films. Films are important. Kindly upload those if you are getting a CT done anyway.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Due to underlying stress people can have conversion or dissociate reaction.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. However, the answer is a little difficult because such paralysis may be cause by many different causes, simply knowing there is weakness is by no means enough and tests are needed to identify the cause before we start discussing treatment which varies according to the cause. The most likely possibilities would be peripheral nerve damage like for example in acute polyradiculoneuritis (Guillain-Barre syndrome) or spinal cord damage due to inflammation, stroke, tumors etc. As I said a proper neurological exam as well as probably tests like spinal MRI an EMG are needed. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.",Confidential "Remote Offices- Suggestions The doorstep audit is not yet complete as I'm having about 25 or so deals ""tested"" out of the Long Beach office. We should know all final results within the next week or so. Rick-your suggestions are generally on target as we have already begun the process for pulling each specific office's information together-ie: how many offices do we have, who are the specific people in them, what do they transact on (DSM, gas/power commodity, services mgmt., etc), and can we consolidate/minimize the number of offices we have. For example, of the 87-ish offices that we currently have EES folks in, only 14 of those offices have individuals that transact gas or power deals in the EnronDirect sales group (ie: customers below $10 million in energy spend) and there are @ 45 sales folks in these 14 offices. The losses now expected out of the Long Beach office are MUCH lower than initial estimates. If anyone would like to review, please call me directly. We are already well underway in establishing new transaction process' for both gas and power deals. Although we have already put in place and communicated these new procedures to each of the sales offices, we are putting together a ""sales package"" that will encompass each of the new procedures in detail, each of the new gas and power contracts and rules for use, and a new sales policy which will review in detail the responsibilities for each sales individual. This policy will require signatures from the sales folks in order for them to continue working for EES in a sales transaction role. We are also exploring an independent verification process whereby we would have someone from either Deal Capture or Deal Management actually contact the customer to confirm the transaction. The ""McDonald's Hamburger"" analogy is quite appropriate here!

Also since you had an inguinal hernia surgery you should slowly start doing mild exercises to strengthen the muscles as to avoid any muscle wasting. start with breathing exercises like deep breathing and diaphragmatic breathing by placing the hand over the incisional area as to safeguard it.on a later stage you should strengthen the core muscles and the spinal muscles. Also to focus on the muscle of the hip and thigh to provide good stability to the joints involved.with the grace of God you will have a good health and recovery",Confidential "my 2and half year old daughter cries a lot while passsing stool .She is so scraed that she do not pass stool frequently.

The ‘Pakistani - Government’s present policy of using the Frontier Constabulary to control the tribal areas appears to be ‘an effective means of maintaining control. However, the policy is costly and results in the diversion of troops from other military duties. The ‘Pakisteni Government is now in the process of estab- lishing a Frontier Corps, which will be recruited from the tribal area, and which will be used to maintain law and order in the tribal area. The Frontier Corps will be under the control of the army and will be trained, equipped, and organized to perform this function. This will result in relieving the army of this task and will permit the army to be used for other military duties. The Frontier Corps will be recruited from the tribesmen and will be officered by regular army officers. The Frontier Corps will be trained and equipped to perform this function. It is estimated that it will take approximately two years to organize, train, and equip the Frontier Corps. a - . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - - . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . - . . . . . .

S. policy, On normalization, I stressed the importance of some statement about a peaceful settlement on the Taiwan issue and said that we would think over the various principles that had been discussed on this trip to see whether further progress could be made. I indicated that we would continue the gradual reduction of our presence on Taiwan in any event. Teng professed Chinese lack of interest in a gradual process and said that they would prefer a brisk solution. However, if the U.S. were not ready to meet Chinese principles, Peking could wait. They did wish to solve this question, he said, but only in accordance with their principles. There was some further discussion during which we agreed that no further progress could be made during this trip, but that we would think the matter over further. SECRET/SENSITIVE DECLASSIFIED headquarters MO 7272690 SECRET/SENSITIVE Teng then launched into a philosophical discussion of familiar Chinese themes, perhaps under Mao's instructions. He stressed that the world is in great turmoil and that one had to be prepared for eventual war. He then stressed that the initial Soviet threat was against the West rather than China and said that the ""polar bear"" was after us. He said that they were ready for war and were not afraid of it. I again pointed out that whether the initial attack was against the West or the East, the ultimate danger remained the same. We then had an exchange on the stepped-up Chinese rhetorical attack on us on Third World issues. I had hit him hard on this previously and he seemed defensive. I pointed out that it was inconsistent for the Chinese to want us to have an active foreign policy in order to counter Moscow, while at the same time China attacked us publicly in such areas as the Middle East, where we are trying to erode Soviet influence, and the energy situation, whose weakening of the West could not be in China's interest. In short, I said the Chinese should make sure that their rhetorical cannons did not hit their own fortifications. I emphasized the importance of U.S. leadership; the need for close cooperation with Europe and Japan who otherwise would be demoralized; and our strategy in such areas as the Middle East and Cyprus. We then closed on a cordial note with both sides agreeing that the exchanges had been very helpful and candid, and the trip productive. It was clear to both of us that despite our philosophic differences, which we have always acknowledged, we can work together on many international issues of primary concern. That evening I hosted a return banquet at the Great Hall of the People. The Foreign Minister's toast, like the Chinese toast last year at the return banquet, was brief and somewhere between correct and friendly. I tailored my own remarks accordingly, giving them a modest upbeat quality. After dinner we worked out, without difficulty, the brief communiqué announcing your trip to the PRC. We had prepared a longer draft similar to the one used on last year's trip, but it would have essentially repeated Shanghai Communique principles and further plans for trade and exchanges, etc. The Chinese suggested that we should have a brief dramatic announcement of your trip whose importance would speak for itself, rather than cluttering up the text with reiterating of past statements. I agreed with the Chinese view, which I think was correct, and merely modified their text to give a positive description of our conversations and state the unchanged commitment to normalization by both sides. SECRET/SENSITIVE Friday we visited Soochow with its exquisite gardens and canals, full of beautiful proportions and great variety of perspective.

We think it's a good idea and helpful to Sino-U.S. relations. Ambassador Huang: It's just a question of finding a mutually acceptable and convenient time with the Senator. The Secretary: Will you discuss this with the Senator? (There is discussion among the Chinese.) Ambassador Huang: The Senator has invited the Ambassador to lunch next Tuesday. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE EXCLUSIVELY EYES ONLY DECLASSIFIED Authority WMD 4 D820 {8 LOT— ka NARA Date The Secretary: Good. (There is discussion among the Chinese.) Ambassador Huang: I'd like to ask you a question. What do you think about the political situation in France after the death of President Pompidou? The Secretary: First, despite what some Frenchmen are pulling out, we are opposed to Mitterand. The U.S. does not want Mitterand to win. And insofar as we can affect the situation, we will support either Chaban Delmas or D'Estaing. And we will do nothing to embarrass the French government. Now it is our assessment that Mitterand may get the most votes in the first round, but he will not get 50 percent. And there is a good chance in the second round either D'Estaing or Chaban Delmas will get a majority. Ambassador Huang: That's also our view. The Secretary: [I slightly prefer D'Estaing personally -- this is not an official view -- because I think he's more intelligent than Chaban Delmas. We have no significant view on that subject. That's just a personal judgment. We prefer either one to Mitterand. And I'll even let them keep Jobert as Foreign Minister if they want to. (Laughter) Even with that, we'd rather have him than Mitterand win. Ambassador Huang: Personally, I also think either Chaban Delmas or D'Estaing will win, but it is difficult to say at the present time which one will win. The Secretary: The only danger is that the Gaullists have fought so much among each other that everyone is thinking that Mitterand can't win, and therefore it is safe to vote for him in the first ballot, and that by accident he might get over 50 percent. And in that way, maybe Mitterand could win, but it's not probable -- that is a slight danger. Ambassador Huang: I was in France for some years, and I noted their elections. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE EXCLUSIVELY EYES ONLY The Secretary: I'm not worried about the second ballot -- I'm more worried about the first. Ambassador Huang: Yes. I think there's a point in what you said. We can't completely disregard such a danger. The Secretary: At any rate, you can tell Peking that the U.S., insofar as we can do anything to affect the elections, will be anti-Mitterand strongly. Ambassador Huang: Well, I know you are very busy, so I will leave now. (As the Chinese were leaving, the Secretary asked if the Ambassador was well settled in town, and he said that he was.)

Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage? Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best.

I had an opportunity to speak with Ralph Komai today during the PCB quarterly management conference call that Transwestern has with SoCal to discuss PCB related invoices. As a brief summary, Southwest has had isolated hits of PCB in liquids (232 and 132 ppm) and in wipe tests (10-100 ug/wipe) in regulators on their system and they have asked Ralph if he would assist them in the management and disposal of PCBs on their system. He wil also be providing thoughts on how and why PCBs move in a gas pipeline. I had asked Ralph not to mention about Transwestern's agreement with SoCal for which Transwestern pays SoCal for 86% of their PCB costs. I had asked him to only focus on the Southwest system. Apparently Southwest is not up to speed with the PCB regualtions, however, enough so that they do realize that the mega rule will impact their operations and Ralph will probably provide input for that as well from an LDC standpoint. I asked Ralph whether Southwest seemed excited or worried about the PCB discovery on their system and he indicated that they were more concerned about compliance with the PCB regulations.

As per your query you had extraction of abscessed tooth which could leads to spread of infection at times if not done properly as it is always advisable to have proper course of antibiotics to subside infection and then go for extraction.I would suggest to do warm saline rinses or baking soda rinses 3-4 times a day ,they will be very helpful in relieving symptoms. You should visit dentist once and get complete examination done and go for X-ray of tooth to detect if any fragment of tooth chip is there.

So by providing external oestrogen and progesteron again periods can be induced. Which are given to you .But good and healthy eggs can't be produced.

Hi,Thank you for posting your query.I have noted your MRI brain findings as well as the symptoms.You are spot on in doubting that why would Chiari malformation cause symptoms at the age of 55, even though it occurs at birth.I agree with you that Chiari malformation is an incidental finding in your case, and your headaches are unrelated to that.

Could it be an allergic reaction to the tuna, and corn? Hello,I can understand your concern. Yes, there is a chance that the child is allergic to either corn or tuna. I would advise you to visit a pediatrician for the prescription of the antihistamine to control the allergic reaction. If the ulcer in the mouth is painful, you can apply local Benzocaine gel over that such as Mucopain, 3-4 times in a day.If he develops recurrent episodes of such allergic reactions, you should go for a blood test that evaluates what substances the child is allergic to so that the exposure can be avoided in the future.I hope this information helps you.

(U) US and Chinese Interests and Objectives in Security Cooperation. a. (U) Historically, the United States has pursued its national interests without emphasizing its relations with China. Since the end of World War II, the Soviet Union has been the only nation considered a serious threat to the most salient US interests--those relating to survival, territorial integrity, and world order. This threat from the Soviet Union has also been the driving force in the developing relationship with China. b. (U) US objectives in security cooperation with China include deterring both regional and global Soviet aggression; enhancing US warfighting capabilities in the event of a global war with the Soviet Union by obtaining the participation of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) or the use of Chinese military facilities; supporting the current, pragmatic leaders of China; and improving US access to scarce natural resources. c. (U) China's primary interests and objectives relate to economic development, political maturity, and status and security in international relations. These interests and objectives can all benefit from relations with the United States. Through security ties with the United States, China hopes to cement the alignment with the United States against the Soviet Union; support the modernization of the PLA through US technical assistance, equipment, and technology; and attain greater international legitimacy. d. (U) The Chinese approach to security tends to be balance of power oriented, stresses self-reliance, and is essentially defensive in nature. Cooperation with the United States entails disadvantages and risks for China, These include dependence on foreign partners, the possibility of conflict between opposing ideologies, and the potential for adverse social effects and domestic political vulnerability. Security cooperation also reduces flexibility on selected foreign policy issues, and would probably lead to increased tension with the Soviet Union. 2. (U) Global and Regional Impact of US-China Security Cooperation. a. (U) Matrix. A matrix, shown as Appendix D of the study, has been developed to aid in the analysis. It consists of four options: institutionalized normalization, moderate relationship, significant relationship, and de facto alliance. The options include arms sales/technology transfers, training, plans/ exercises, intelligence, and other activities. This matrix, along with US objectives, provides the framework for discussing the global and regional relations which will be affected by more extensive security cooperation with China. b. (U) Soviet Union. While The United States and NATO continue to be the USSR's most significant military threat, it views China as a most troublesome, unpredictable, and intractable opponent. Even at present levels of security cooperation, the USSR perceives a basic strategic realignment opposing it. This helps the United States achieve its objective of ensuring that the Soviet Union does not decrease its deployments opposite China, and compels Soviet planners to consider the possibility that Chinese forces and/or facilities might be made available to the United States in the event of a general war. Higher levels of security cooperation may reinforce this perception. Moreover, expanded security cooperation between China and the United States could have a far-reaching effect on the overall national security decision-making process of the Soviet Union. There are two tendencies, ""traditionalist"" and ""pragmatist,"" within the USSR. The former is generally more inclined to support confrontational policies and to emphasize especially the inherent dangers in cooperation with China. The pragmatist tendency, on the other hand, normally supports actions which recognize the benefits of superpower cooperation, especially on arms control. Proponents of the pragmatist tendency tend to recognize that China has a weak economy and limited absorptive capacity. They are also more likely than followers of the traditionalist tendency to emphasize conflicts between the United States and China, i.e., Taiwan. These conditions, they argue, could undermine US-China security cooperation. A US-China security cooperation program involving substantial transfer of arms (Options 3 or 4 in the Matrix) probably would undercut the pragmatist arguments, and thus enhance the influence of the traditionalist tendency over all Soviet security decisions. (U) Japan and the Koreas. Japan, invariably considered the linchpin of US Asian policy, has entered into extensive and cordial relations with China, and, like China and the United States, has officially identified the Soviet Union as the principal threat to its security. But Japan is concerned about the prospect of a militarily strong China, and will offer little support for substantially expanded US-China security cooperation. A high level of security cooperation, including weapons transfers, would also be perceived by many Japanese as signaling a change of focus in America's Asia policy from Japan to China. This would further diminish the credibility of US security guarantees, possibly stimulating the Japanese to increase their own military capabilities--a development Washington has been seeking--but ultimately weakening the alliance with the United States. Moreover, the Japanese would be concerned about US-China relations which might cause the Soviets to increase their pressure on Japan. Since the Soviets already presume Japanese collusion in US-China security relations, Soviet hostility toward Japan would probably increase as US-China security cooperation deepened. Finally, US security cooperation, which actually improved China's military capabilities, might raise questions among the Japanese about the security of the two adjacent areas most critical to the security of Japan itself, i.e., Korea and Taiwan. South Korea probably has benefited from improved US-China relations, since China seems to be restraining North Korea on the reunification issue. With a program of US-China security cooperation involving the transfer of offensive weapons, however, South Korean leaders might be concerned that China's improved military capabilities could be used in the future to assist North Korea. In the North, the government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea might react to expanded US-China security relations by associating itself more closely with the Soviet Union at the expense of its ties with China. Security cooperation with China will make it more difficult for the United States to reduce United States have a common interest in opposing Soviet hegemony; (2) (U) improved US access to, and influence with, the Chinese; (3) (U) improved US-China military-to-military relations, which could reduce the potential for miscalculation in crises; (4) (U) improved US-China intelligence cooperation, including access to Chinese assessments of Soviet intentions and capabilities; (5) (U) improved US-China cooperation on regional conflicts, such as Indochina, Afghanistan, and the Middle East; (6) (U) potential for reduced Chinese military expenditures and increased Chinese reliance on the United States for advanced weapons systems; (7) (U) improved US-China cooperation on arms control issues, including the potential for Chinese participation in strategic arms limitations talks. b. (U) Disadvantages for the United States of expanding security cooperation with China include: (1) (U) potential damage to US relations with the Soviet Union, particularly if the Soviet Union perceives that it is being ""ganged up"" on by the United States and China; (2) (U) potential damage to US relations with other major powers, particularly Japan and Western Europe, which might view an expanded US-China security relationship as a return to the Cold War and a threat to detente; (3) (U) potential damage to US relations with Taiwan, which would view any upgrading of Chinese military capabilities as a threat to its security; (4) (U) potential for increased Chinese influence in regions of vital importance to the United States, such as Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East; (5) (U) potential for increased Chinese military capabilities, particularly in the nuclear and missile fields; (6) (U) potential for increased Chinese involvement in regional conflicts, particularly those which involve the Soviet Union; (7) (U) potential for increased Chinese opposition to arms control, which could complicate future arms limitation negotiations. c. (U) Overall, expanding security cooperation with China presents both advantages and disadvantages for the United States. While it could lead to improved relations and cooperation in various areas, it could also damage relationships with other major powers and potentially increase Chinese influence and military capabilities. Careful consideration and assessment of the potential consequences is necessary before pursuing any significant increase in security cooperation with China. hinese fought each other in Korea, to the present situation in which both countries have recognized that they have a common interest in limiting Soviet expansionism and in reducing the danger of a global nuclear war. Relations between the two countries have been characterized by the following steps: (1) (U) President Nixon's visit to China in 1972, which set the stage for the establishment of liaison offices in each other's capitals. (2) (U) The Shanghai Communique, issued by President Nixon and Premier Chou En-lai on 27 February 1972, which outlined the basis for future relations between the two countries. (3) (U) The Joint Communiques of 1 January 1979, which estab- lished diplomatic relations between the United States and the PRC, and of 17 August 1982, which announced the establishment of consulates general in Chengdu and Guangzhou. (4) (U) The signing of a memorandum of understanding on 1 October 1982, which established a Joint Defense Conversion Committee to explore the possibility of US defense industry assistance to the PRC. (5) (U) The exchange of high-level visits between the two countries, including the visit of Secretary Weinberger to the PRC in September 1983, and the visit of Defense Minister Zhang Aiping to the United States in November 1983. (6) (U) The authorization of the sale of military equipment and technology to the PRC on a case-by-case basis. b. (U) In addition to the above, the United States and the PRC have engaged in a number of security cooperation activities, including joint military exercises, exchanges of military personnel, and cooperation in intelligence matters. c. (U) The United States has also taken steps to improve its understanding of China and the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA). These steps have included the establishment of a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) China Military Studies Office (CMSO) and the assign- ment of a number of military attaches to the US Embassy in Beijing. The US Army has also established a China Foreign Area Officer (FAO) program. 2. (U) Objectives. The objectives of this study are to: a. (U) Identify the principal US strategic interests in expanded security cooperation with the PRC. b. (U) Identify the principal risks associated with expanded security cooperation with the PRC. c.

(U) Security Cooperation with the PRC. The security cooperation activities that have taken place between the United States and the PRC are shown in Annex A. These activities have been characterized by a steady expansion of contacts and exchanges between the two countries. a. (U) Military Contacts. Military contacts between the United States and the PRC have included the following: (1) (U) Visits by high-level defense officials, including Secretary of Defense Weinberger's visit to the PRC in September 1983 and Defense Minister Zhang Aiping's visit to the United States in November 1983. (2) (U) Visits by high-level military officials, including the visit of General John W. Vessey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to the PRC in September 1983 and the visit of PLA Deputy Chief of General Staff General Liu Huaqing to the United States in November 1983. (3) (U) Exchanges of military personnel, including the assignment of a US Army attache to the US Embassy in Beijing and the assignment of a PLA attache in Washington. (4) (U) Joint military exercises, including the visit of a US Navy ship to Shanghai in May 1983 and the visit of a PLA delegation to the United States in November 1983. (5) (U) Cooperation in intelligence matters, including the exchange of intelligence information on the Soviet Union. b. (U) Arms Sales and Technology Transfers. The United States has authorized the sale of military equipment and technology to the PRC on a case-by-case basis. The following equipment and technology have been approved for sale to the PRC: (1) (U) Nonlethal military equipment, including communications equipment, trucks, and tents. (2) (U) Technology for the b. (U) Even though strategic considerations have always provided the principal justification for enhanced US-PRC relations, overt military or security cooperation was muted as long as Washington attempted to pursue a policy of evenhandedness vis-à-vis the two major Communist powers. That policy was abandoned after Soviet and Soviet-supported interventions in Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. In August 1979, former Vice President Mondale forcefully emphasized the change in the direction of US policy when he told his hosts in Beijing that ""any nation which seeks to weaken or isolate (China) in world affairs assumes a stance counter to US interests."" A few months later, shortly after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, then Secretary of Defense Brown made the security relationship more explicit by announcing, also in Beijing, that the United States would permit, on a case-by-case basis, the sale of dual-use technology and nonlethal equipment to China, and that the sale of weapons systems by US allies would not be opposed. More recently, on June 16, 1981, the security relationship was expanded further with the announcement by Secretary of State Haig that the United States would consider, again on a case-by-case basis (after consultations with allies and friends and Congress), the sale of any armaments or weapons technology. Security cooperation, then, was apparently inaugurated with limited notice, partly in response to unexpected Soviet action, to deter the continued expansion of Soviet influence by force. Consequently, many within the American bureaucracy, particularly in the military, may not have previously given adequate attention to security cooperation with the PRC. 2. (U) Terms of Reference. The specific terms of reference for this study are contained in the January 12, 1981 letter, subject: Study Implications of US-China Security Cooperation (US-China) from MG R.L. Schweitzer, Director of Strategy, Plans, and Policy, acting for the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans, to the Commandant, US Army War College, which is reprinted as Appendix A. The objectives and one limitation from the study directive are repeated below for emphasis. a. (U) The four interrelated objectives specified by the study directive are: (1) (U) Identify the major objectives of security cooperation for both the United States and the PRC; (2) (U) Examine military and strategic implications of US-China security cooperation and estimate the benefits, risks and costs, as far as relations with other international actors (e.g., Soviet Union, NATO, Japan, ASEAN, and India) are concerned; (3) (U) Specify areas in which cooperation may be beneficial to the United States, as well as areas in which cooperation is not desirable; and, (4) (U) Provide, in the conclusions, specific options and initiatives that policymakers can use in shaping the US-China security cooperation relationship. b. (U) The exclusion of specific operational implications for the Army from this report is intended to focus the study on broad strategic problems rather than relatively parochial concerns of the Army. The latter (e.g., details of force structure; personnel needed, organization, and security assistance requirements) are extremely important, but need to be addressed after the more fundamental considerations discussed in the following chapters are analyzed and understood. On the other hand, the United States seeks to achieve through security cooperation with China are: a. (U) To promote and protect US national interests by reducing the level of threat to the United States and its allies posed by the Soviet Union; b. (U) To strengthen the global position of the United States by maintaining a favorable balance of power; c. (U) To achieve a more stable and constructive relationship with China that can contribute to regional stability and security in East Asia; d. (U) To promote and protect US economic interests in China and the region; e. (U) To enhance the security and stability of Taiwan and reduce the likelihood of conflict over the island's future status; f. (U) To promote human rights and democratic values in China; g. (U) To prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and other advanced military technologies from China; h. (U) To maintain open lines of communication and cooperation with China on global issues of mutual concern, such as terrorism and climate change; i. (U) To foster a more cooperative and transparent relationship with China that can help prevent misunderstandings and miscalculations that could lead to conflict. j. (U) To promote mutual understanding and cultural exchange between the United States and China. cant contribution to the maintenance of world peace. At have traditionally guided US policy are as follows: a, (U) The primary objective of the United States is to prevent hostile nations from attacking the United States, its territories, and its overseas bases. The threat of invasion of the continental United States has always been remote. 4 UNCLASSIFIED then CGSNFIDENAAL However, the advent of the nuclear age and ICBMs meant that the continental United States could not only be attacked but also the survival of the United States threatened without an invasion by a foreign army. As a result, for the last 30 years protection of US territorial integrity has been based primarily on four principles: (1) strategic nuclear deterrence; (2) negotiation of formal, detailed and verifiable strategic nuclear arms control agreements; (3) prevention of the proliferation of nuclear weapons; and (4) avoidance of direct military conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. In comparison to the USSR, Chinese strategic nuclear capabilities have played only a small role in US defense calculations. If China improves its strategic nuclear capabilities as expected, future US force planning and arms negotiations will have to take these forces into consideration. b. (U) Historically, US interests have been best served by an international environment of stability in which change has been evolutionary rather than the result of political revolution. As a result, another major US objective has been the promotion of peaceful solutions to world problems. Particularly, the United States is interested in deterring the USSR from using conflicts between regional powers to further Soviet political and military influence at the expense of the United States. c. (U) A third major objective is to help US allies and other friendly states resist political, economic, or military coercion by stronger nations. d. (U) Where and when feasible, the United States has sought to improve East-West relations in an attempt to defuse sources of potential military conflict. This objective is based on the assumption that fostering economic and political interdependence among the USSR and the West, and China and the West will result in more responsible, less aggressive destabilizing behavior on the part of the world's two Communist giants. Soviet actions in recent years have caused many observers and policymakers to question this objective, but it still remains as a stated long-term US goal. e. (U) Since the end of World War II, containment of the spread of communism has been an important objective. It has evolved from the containment of the monolithic communism that was believed to exist to the more recent approach of selective containment of Soviet political and military influence. f. (U) Finally, if deterrence of conflicts fails and peaceful resolution of world problems proves impossible, the US objective is to maintain sufficient conventional and strategic forces to defend US interests by military force until such conflicts can be terminated on terms favorable to the United States. 7. (U) US Objectives Served by Security Cooperation With China. a. (U) US-China security cooperation is intended to support US objectives of deterring both regional and global Soviet aggression. Advocates believe that US-China security cooperation will contribute to deterrence by increasing Soviet concerns about a two-front war, complicating Soviet military planning, and making the USSR less inclined to initiate military conflict, either in Europe or Asia. (1) (U) A strong, confident China, it is argued, will contribute to East Asian regional stability, but a weak nation will be vulnerable to Soviet pressures and be a source of instability. Only a China that is politically and militarily capable of acting as a major power in the region can help to stabilize the East Asian balance of power, according to this point of view. (2) (U) It can be argued that more normal relations with China already have made a significant contribution to the maintenance of world peace. can't step toward a peaceful solution of one major contentious Asian issue, i.e., Taiwan. Beijing now speaks of ""reunification"" of Taiwan with China rather than ""liberation."" If more extensive US-China security cooperation increases the stakes for the PRC in good relations with the United States, the prospects for peaceful settlement might be enhanced further. b. (U) Security cooperation with China could enhance US warfighting capabilities in the event of a global war with the Soviet Union. If Chinese military forces supported the United States in a global war, they would constitute another ""force multiplier."" Even if China chose not to commit its military forces against the Soviet Union, a security cooperation relationship that allowed the United States to use Chinese naval and air facilities during a war might enhance US military capabilities against the Soviet Union. c. (U) The primary goal of the current Chinese pragmatic leadership is to modernize China economically, politically, and militarily. If modernization of China succeeds, China will become a more powerful actor, with or without US-China security cooperation. However, advocates of closer security cooperation believe that a positive US-China relationship will support the current pragmatic leadership. This group has interests and objectives parallel to those of the United States and security cooperation will enhance the US ability to favorably influence the evolution of Chinese policy. d. (U) Finally, apart from military justifications, cordial and extensive relationships with China may enhance US access to scarce natural resources. While much of China has not been thoroughly surveyed, exploration to date has shown China to be endowed with significant amounts of scarce natural resources. China has recently begun to furnish the United States with tantalum, vanadium, and titanium. The addition of China as a supplier of scarce raw materials will diversify sources of supply and could help to moderate US strategic vulnerability. Security cooperation may be one tool to facilitate US access to Chinese natural resources and to provide a firm basis for a profitable economic relationship. CONFIDENTIAL UNCLASSIFIED Section III. (U) Chinese Interests and Objectives in Security Cooperation.* 8. (U) China's National Interests and Objectives. a. (U) The preceding section identified the interests and objectives of the United States which are, or could be, affected by security cooperation with the People's Republic of China. While US national interests and security objectives understandably pervade US strategic calculations, they constitute only half the equation. China also has interests which must be recognized, since they will decisively shape and condition the other half of the dynamic bilateral relationship. Some of these interests, and the objectives which support them, are primarily of a domestic nature; others derive directly from the international environment. As a practical matter, however, they are all deeply interrelated. b. (U) An important domestic national interest of China is economic development. Since the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, the successor leadership has focused most of its attention on a comprehensive program of industrial, agricultural and military development which is called the ""Four Modernizations."" Relying heavily on imported technology to drive scientific progress, the program aspires to transform China into a ""powerful, modern socialist country by the year 2000."" In retrospect, initial goals were far too ambitious, as evidenced by successive economic ""readjustments"" over the past two to three years. Despite these temporary setbacks, the present leadership is deeply committed to this innovative program of economic development. Specific objectives include improving the low standard of living of the Chinese masses; achieving sustained, long-term economic growth; and increasing aggregate national power in order to support an independent and secure China on the world stage. c. (U) Another domestic national interest of China is the maintenance of social stability and political control. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been in power since 1949 and is determined to maintain its grip on power. The CCP views economic development as a key tool in maintaining social stability and political control. The leadership is also wary of any foreign influence that could undermine its authority, making security cooperation with China a delicate issue. d. (U) On the international front, China's primary interest is in ensuring its own security and sovereignty. This includes territorial integrity and the protection of its borders. China has long-standing disputes with neighboring countries over territories such as Taiwan, the South China Sea, and the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. Security cooperation with the United States could potentially help China to address these disputes and protect its sovereignty. e. (U) China also has economic interests in security cooperation with the United States. As the world's second-largest economy, China relies heavily on trade and investment for its economic growth. A positive relationship with the United States could open up new economic opportunities for China, while security cooperation could provide a level of stability and predictability for Chinese businesses operating in the global market. f. (U) Finally, China has a desire for greater international prestige and influence. As a rising power, China seeks to increase its standing in the international community and be recognized as a major global player. Security cooperation with the United States could help to legitimize China's role as a responsible stakeholder in international affairs and enhance its global influence. *Note: The preceding text is from a confidential document and has been modified for public release. Some information may have been omitted or changed to protect sensitive information. dent foreign policy. c. (U) Another domestic national interest which affects US-China relations is the attainment of political maturity. The creation within China's Communist system of attitudes and institutions conducive to prolonged political stability is an essential precondition for sustained economic growth. Within the context of political stabilization and systemic reform, the consolidation of power by the Deng Xiaoping coalition is another priority objective. A wide range of specific initiatives has been introduced to ""deradicalize"" political thought; separate state and party functions; establish bureaucratic accountability; fight nepotism, corruption and inertia; ensure an orderly succession; find a new legitimizing role for the party; and open up the Chinese political system to greater participation. d. (U) A final national interest category derives from China's role and status in the international system. China shares a number of fundamental concerns common to most sovereign nations, but several are particularly salient in the current situation. These objectives include preservation of national independence and territorial integrity; improved national security; and increased global influence leading to restoration of China to its ""rightful place"" in world affairs. *The material in this section is essentially a summary of the main points developed in much greater detail in Appendix B, Chinese Interests and Objectives in Security Cooperation, UNCLASSIFIED 10 UNCLASSIFIED CHAPTER 3 GLOBAL AND REGIONAL IMPACT OF US-CHINA SECURITY COOPERATION (U) Section I. (U) General. 1. (U) Introduction. a. (U) The possible ramifications of US-China security cooperation cannot be considered in bilateral terms alone. The relationship will impact upon the perceptions of leaders in other nations and, as a result, will affect other global and regional relationships which are important to the United States. This section will introduce a range of possible security cooperation options that could develop between the United States and China. In Section II, the possible influence of US-China security cooperation on other US global and regional relationships will be discussed and analyzed. b. (U) Four potential security cooperation options that could develop between the United States and the People's Republic of China are summarized in Figure D-1, Appendix D, a foldout that can be kept open for frequent reference as the rest of the study is read. The matrix is keyed upon five major military-related security cooperation categories: arms sales/technology transfer, training, plans and exercises, intelligence sharing and gathering, and other. The ""other"" category is a catch-all to allow the incorporation of items which are important but do not neatly fit into one of the more specific subdivisions. c. (U) The options chosen by the study team are a summary and combination of activities that have been suggested in other studies and a result of the study team's own analysis. Obviously, there are more than four major options that could evolve as a result of US-Chinese security cooperation. For example, the number of options could be increased by simply adding alternatives between Option 2 and 3 and Option 3 and 4 which more closely parallel the current Option 1. The additional options might read something like ""consider selling systems which provide offensive capabilities"" and ""consider selling/providing sensitive military equipment."" This approach was rejected for the matrix (but not for the analysis in the following section) because it tends to make the distinctions between each option less clear and some members of the study group believe that such distinctions are artificial. 2. (U) The Matrix. a. (U) The matrix contains hypothetical options which may never be duplicated in reality, although Option 1 is intended to represent the major components of the current security relationship between the United States and China. The matrix should not be used to prescribe or predict the types of security cooperation which the United States should or will pursue with the PRC. It is only a tool to help answer the important question: Is one form of security cooperation more likely than others to result in achieving US interests and objectives? In the following section, the implications of various options for the major regions of the world will be assessed. Those interests and objectives already discussed in Chapter 2 should be the most important factors for analysis. b. (U) There are two ways to view the matrix. First, each option can be seen as distinct and separate: one step on a stairway of commitment. Each higher step includes all of the components of the preceding steps. As one moves further to the right in the matrix toward Option 4, in other words, there is a cumulative effect. If the US-Chinese security cooperation developed into the hypothetical ""significant relationship,"" all (or most) of the attributes of ""institutionalized normalization"" and a ""moderate relationship"" would already be in existence before the ""significant relationship"" materialized. Using this approach, arms sales/technology transfer is the most important category and indicator of a move to a new level of security cooperation. c. (U) The second way of looking at the matrix is to view it as providing a number of alternatives where arms sales/technology would continue to be important but would not be the driving category of US-China security cooperation. Using this approach, theoretically it is possible to have a security relationship where arms sales/technology remains at the status quo but training is at the ""moderate relationship,"" plans/operations may be at the ""de facto alliance relationship,"" and intelligence and others are at the ""significant relationship"" level. Viewing the matrix in this way could provide more flexibility for policymakers than the assumption that any security cooperation will be determined primarily by arms sales/technology transfer. d. (U) The priorities one places on US objectives will have an important impact upon how one views the matrix. If the most important US objective is to have a China strong enough to tie down Soviet forces, repel an attempted Soviet invasion, and provide relief for Europe by causing Soviet forces to be oriented toward the Far East rather than Europe, then Chinese military capabilities will have to be improved. This means that arms sales/technology transfer with military applications should be given the top priority. If the primary objective is to affect the perceptions of other international actors, including the Soviets, then there may be less of a need to emphasize arms transfers/technology transfer. Rather, it may be possible to increase the perception of a closer relationship with China by picking options from the other categories without simultaneously enhancing military capabilities. Section II. (U) Global and Regional Impact. 3. (UV) Soviet Union. a. (U) The Soviet Union's long-standing adversary relationship with China is not related to any single issue. Sino-Soviet tensions are based upon territorial differences, competition for influence in various regions of the world, ideological conflicts and maneuvers for leadership within the Communist arena, military tensions along 4,500 miles of common border, and racial animosities. From a Soviet perspective, the United States continues to be the Kremlin's primary international competitor and, in concert with NATO, its most significant military threat. However, the USSR views China as probably its most troublesome, unpredictable, and intractable opponent. Therefore, any security cooperation between the United States and the PRC will obviously have a significant impact upon the Soviet Union. b. (U) Although our understanding of the Soviet political process still tends to be sketchy and far from complete because of the s The secretive nature of the Soviet Union, it is clear that the totalitarian (unitary) model no longer accurately describes the Soviet political process, and that there is no single, discernible ""Soviet view"" which will guide Soviet policy and actions. Even a cursory reading of Soviet literature suggests the variety of factional, occupational, and bureaucratic interest groups which not only exist within the Soviet Union but also have impact upon Soviet policy. Conflict and differences among and within institutions and among individuals over what UNCLASSIFIED means should be pursued occur within the Soviet Union. Something similar to, but not exactly like, Western interest group politics and conflicts also seem to exist over what Soviet programs should be given priority, which ones should be slowed down or put into abeyance, and how overall Soviet goals and objectives should be carried out. Therefore, it probably is appropriate to talk about some Soviet views on US-Chinese security cooperation rather than to focus on ""the Soviet view."" c. (U) Discussions of Soviet views or ""groupings"" often assume uniformity within the various groups. This type of thinking has contributed to assessments which see the party and military in constant conflict because the two institutions hold different values, interests, and objectives, and subscribe to different modus operandi for dealing with the Soviet political environment.* The assumption of intra-group cohesion also has led to analyses that see support or opposition to arms control and detente as based primarily upon an individual's institutional affiliation. In other words, the Soviet foreign policy apparatus and Academy of Science research institutes generally are expected to support arms control while military spokesmen oppose it. d. (U) The analysis that follows does not reject this bureaucratic politics approach, i.e., where one sits determines one's views, but suggests that no single analysis can adequately explain Soviet views on China. If one believes that Soviet views on China are primarily institutional in origin then there should be a military, foreign policy community, party, etc. position. That does not seem to be the case as individuals within the same Soviet institution do seem to subscribe to significantly different attitudes about China. The analysis draws heavily upon studies written by Franklin Griffiths and Lawrence Caldwell arguing that Soviet behavior and views can be best explained in terms of loose coalitions and general ""tendencies"" within the Soviet Union."" Thus, the important point is not only where one sits in the bureaucracy but also the issue (or in this case the country) involved. Such an approach deemphasizes personalities and individual's views and focuses on issues and the potential policy ramifications of those issues. While Caldwell calls the Soviet ""tendencies"" modernism and orthodoxy, this section uses the shorthand of ""pragmatist"" and ""traditionalist"" because of its more specific concern with China. e. (U) As early as 1973, Soviets of the traditionalist persuasion essentially stopped referring to China as merely a socialist state which was misinterpreting Marxism-Leninism. Instead, they have emphasized China's efforts to collude, ally, or have tacit agreements with anti-Soviet forces throughout the world. As indicated by the flurry of Soviet alarmist articles around such major events as normalization of US-Chinese relations, the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship, exchange visits of high-ranking US and Chinese officials, and US willingness to consider the sale of dual-use technology and nonlethal military equipment to the PRC, traditionalists are quite concerned and fearful that these steps could develop into more far-reaching military cooperation with China. The traditionalist's tendency is to emphasize the threat to world peace that any cooperation with China could cause. They believe that US, NATO, or Japanese cooperation with China is primarily anti-Soviet oriented. They see cooperation with China as supporting the militarist designs of China against Vietnam and encouraging Beijing to take even more hardline military positions against the Soviet Union, specifically against Soviet interests in Asia. Following is a rather typical traditionalist statement about the threat of collusion between the imperialists and China: 13 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED The real threat to peace and the security of nations, mainly the Soviet Union and other countries of the socialist fraternity, comes from American imperialism and its NATO allies, with whom Beijing hegemonists are now collaborating in preparation for world war. f. (U) It would be ideological heresy for traditionalists to argue that the recent positive shift in the correlation of forces could be permanently reversed. But they do contend that powerful anti-socialist forces still exist and that for a temporary period these reactionary forces could surface to threaten world peace. Since the danger of war has not been eliminated, the traditionalists argue that the Soviet Union must be prepared to confront the possibilities of regional and global conflict at all times and complacency is not acceptable. The possibility of Chinese- US security cooperation is one of the insidious ways that Soviet traditionalists believe reactionaries within both China and the West are attempting to preserve their domestic power bases. A traditionalist's worst-case analysis would see the PRC, by the late 1980s, making significant progress in its domestic economic modernization as a result of Japanese and US support and developing a modern nuclear and conventional military force by virtue of security cooperation and arms transfers from the United States. Even if a formalized alliance between China and the United States did not exist, a de facto anti-Soviet condominium would have the same results. Be (U) The pragmatists, like the traditionalists, support a strong Soviet military, but they tend to believe that there are areas of common interest with the West. Members of this Soviet group have generally supported arms control negotiations, increased foreign trade, and expanded political-economic relations, particularly with the United States and Europe. They have emphasized that military conflict between the superpowers, with its high potential for escalation to nuclear war, would have disastrous consequences. The pragmatists seem to reject the view that anyone could emerge victorious (in the truest sense of the word) from a nuclear war. Soviets of the pragmatist persuasion are concerned about China as a threat to Soviet interests and the possibility of US-Chinese security cooperation. However, their assessment of the future tends to be somewhat more sanguine than that of the traditionalists. h. (U) Pragmatists are more inclined to emphasize the limitations of the Chinese domestic economy. They suggest that the problems associated with economic modernization are so significant that the PRC will not be able to make major progress in this area in the immediate future. As one author in Kommunist recently argued, “the situation within the PRC national economy remains tense. Attempts to rescue it from the state of chaos have yielded limited results."" Another recent study done by two members of the Soviet Institute of the USA and Canada details, in more specific terms, the problems facing China. The Chinese education system essentially disintegrated during the Cultural Revolution when it was more important to be Red than expert. There is a shortage of skilled workers, scientists, engineers, and technicians to operate modern equipment, even if the Chinese could obtain it from the West. In addition, China lacks the necessary financial resources to purchase major quantities of industrial equipment or defense items from foreign nations. China has few products that it can reasonably expect to export to obtain hard currency. ency. The two Soviet authors also argued that important legal restrictions in the United States prevent the export of the most modern, sophisticated technology to Communist nations and that the United States is still somewhat undecided about how far it should proceed with its economic support of China. Those of the pragmatist persuasion tend to argue that these are not small problems, which China and the United States can easily overcome just because they share a common anti-Soviet feeling. For example, the two members of the 14 UNCLASSIFIED Institute of the USA and Canada ended their study on technological contacts between the United States and the PRC by saying: ""If we soberly assess the potential for scientific and technical contacts between the United States and China,... we can expect these conflicts to be considerably exacerbated in the near future."" i. (U) Since the pragmatists doubt that a strong and enduring security relationship between the United States and the PRC can develop, this is another issue on which they differ from the traditionalists. Pragmatists agree with the traditionalists that a formal Chinese alliance with the United States would pose a formidable threat to the Soviet Union. However, they emphasize that important points of conflict and contention exist between Washington and Beijing, particularly over Taiwan. Both pragmatists and traditionalists believe that China is an expansionist power. The pragmatists, however, differ with their associates and argue that Chinese expansionist tendencies will ultimately cause major policy disagreements with the United States and its Asian allies threatening the existence of US-China security cooperation. As one Soviet commentator has said, ""it is hard to believe in the possibility of the protracted harmonious coexistence...in a zone which each of them regards as its own preferential sphere of influence.""9 The most important journal of the Soviet Ministry of Defense has argued that the growing close relations between China and the United States are ""the result of conditions at hand,"" i.e., temporary. Moreover, it would be incorrect to depict this alliance as complete, homogeneous, formulated once and for all and so on. Although it now has a strategic significance in the assessment of the correlation of forces in the world, its vitality is very problematic, especially for the long range. 10 In other words, Soviet military planners need to consider the US-Chinese factor but long-term strategic planning, weapons procurements, and force deployments probably should not be based on the assumption that the current Chinese-US relationship can be maintained over a long period. j. (U) The traditionalist and pragmatist characteristics described here represent ideal types and tendencies. Probably no one person in the USSR holds every one of the specific attributes ascribed to the pragmatist or traditionalist ideal position. Soviet policymakers subscribe to and support portions of each type depending on the situation and circumstances. One can readily see this in the official Soviet press as different segments of the same article swing from commentary on US-Chinese cooperation which support the traditionalist to arguments that use pragmatist rationale. k. (U) The ""China problem"" has specific and unique impact on the USSR, no matter if one is of the traditionalist or pragmatist persuasion. Both the traditionalists and pragmatists worry openly about how the US-Chinese relationship has evolved during the 1970's and realize that close cooperation between Washington and Beijing is adverse to Soviet interests. The two groups, on the other hand, differ over whether the relationship is already firmly cemented, whether it can be maintained over a long period, and what responses the Soviet Union should initiate. The two probably agree that Soviet military forces need to be maintained on the Sino-Soviet border (if those forces should be increased could be a point of debate, however); the US-Chinese relationship needs to be monitored closely; and Moscow should attempt to isolate and contain China when and wherever possible. Moreover, there is probably agreement that Moscow should attempt to undermine other nations' support for close US-China relations by emphasizing the potential danger of armed conflict between the two Communist giants as China increases its military power and that a strong China enhances the possibility of Chinese military aggression against other Asian nations. UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED of Chinese military aggression against other Asian nations. 1. (U) Nevertheless, the fact that these two differing Soviet tendencies do exist is an important point for American policymakers to recognize. US-Chinese security cooperation will obviously impact differently upon the pragmatists and traditionalists and could play a role in determining which faction becomes dominant. For example, if the emphasis in US-China security cooperation were arms sales and technology transfers, the differences between the pragmatist and traditionalist tendencies would probably be compressed. At a minimum, the pragmatist faction would be hard-pressed to support an argument that an alliance between Washington and Beijing might not be enduring if the United States moves to sell arms to the Chinese. There is an outside chance that Option 2 would leave the pragmatists with some maneuver room since the United States did provide Yugoslavia with defensive weapons in the 1950s and Moscow continued to maintain the possibility of political rapprochement with Tito during that period. However, a move to Option 3 or 4 under the arms sales category would seem to undercut any support the pragmatists might be able to garner within the Soviet Union. Even if they were inclined to argue (which would seem unlikely) that the sale of ambiguous defensive/offensive weapons or sophisticated weapons did not seal a permanent relationship, enhancing Chinese offensive capabilities would be a threat to Soviet vital interests and territory which no Soviet could take lightly. n. (U) On the other hand, if US-Chinese cooperation resulted in few substantive increases in Chinese military capabilities, it is possible that the pragmatist position might be supportable within Soviet policy debates. The categories where the United States could make the most impact by creating the impression of cooperation, thereby complicating Soviet defensive planning but at the same time not convincing the pragmatists that an alliance was confirmed, would be to choose activities from the ""intelligence"" and ""other"" categories of Option 3. In the remaining three categories, options chosen from ""significant relationship"" would indicate a commitment beyond what the pragmatists would think is possible in the near future. As a result, if selections from Option 3 in the training or plans/exercises categories, which would necessarily involve frequent and visible interaction between military establishments, were chosen, there is a good possibility that this would so jar the pragmatists that they would be forced to align with the traditionalists. Any selection taken from Option 4 would probably be interpreted by both the traditionalists and pragmatists as confirmation of their worst fears. It would support the traditionalist arguments and undermine the pragmatist position. n. (U) Since the end of World War II, the primary objective that the United States has pursued in its relations with the Soviet Union has been to prevent the normal political and economic competition that exists between the two superpowers from escalating to military conflict. Other subordinate but important objectives that traditionally have guided US policy are: (1) (U) Negotiation of formal and detailed nuclear and conventional arms control agreements, (2) (U) Efforts to reduce the risk of nuclear war, (3) (U) Prevention of actions that encourage the proliferation of nuclear weapons, (4) (U) Where feasible, improvement of political and economic relations with the Soviet Union. political-economic relations with the USSR to encourage it to become a more responsible international actor that pursues economic, political, and diplomatic solutions to world problems rather than military coercion, (5) (J) Encouragement of independent action and loosening of political, economic, and military ties among the non-Soviet Warsaw Pact states and the USSR. (6) (U) Expansion of trade relations with Eastern Europe as a means to enhance political relations with those countries and to encourage and support greater political and economic autonomy on their part, (7) (U) Support for free movement of people and ideas among nations and respect of individual rights and liberties within nations, (8) (U) Support the development of moderate political leadership within the Soviet Union, 0. (U) Given both superpowers' desires to avoid direct military confrontation because of the risks of nuclear escalation, US-China security cooperation should not necessarily lead to military conflict between the superpowers. However, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve many of the subordinate US objectives while also pursuing close security cooperation with China. (U) Because of the high threat perception of the traditionalists, whose position will be strengthened when US-China security cooperation occurs, Soviet policy would probably emphasize the competitive nature of Soviet-American relations and the general hostile relations between capitalist and socialist states. Little emphasis would be put on arms control talks. In fact, the traditionalists would most likely argue for across-the-board quantitative and qualitative improvements in both the conventional and strategic forces. At a minimum, they might suggest that the USSR would need to increase its forces even more than current plans may provide for, on the Sino-Soviet border. If this occurred and post-1969 historical precedent prevailed, such an increase would not come from deployment of Soviet forces from other areas but would be newly created divisions and be additive to the Soviet force structure. Given manpower problems facing the Soviets in the 1980s, significant increases in its force levels would have to come at the expense of manpower for civilian sector jobs. While this decision would probably be made reluctantly, in the face of what the Soviets would perceive as a national security threat, it seems likely that the Kremlin would divert the necessary manpower. Moscow, however, could place additional Category II and III divisions on the Sino-Soviet border creating the impression of new deployments but having less total manpower impact on the domestic economy. The heavy industry and national defense sectors of the economy would probably receive an increased share of the Soviet budget. Foreign trade and technology transfers for both the Soviet Union and its East European allies would be discouraged, autarky would be a primary Soviet objective, and Moscow would attempt to tighten its controls over the Warsaw Pact, limiting East European economic and political autonomy. The traditionalists would probably put a heavy emphasis on nationalism and the military threat from China, as well as the increased threat from the capitalists, in an attempt to convince consumers that domestic sacrifices were necessary. To increase ideological vigilance, renewed suppression of Soviet dissidents would probably occur, making it difficult to achieve the US objectives of human rights and freer movement of peoples and ideas. (U) It is in this larger context, which emphasizes tying down Soviet forces on the Sino-Soviet border and complicating Soviet military planning, and not solely in the military arena, that the United States must judge the potential implications of security cooperation with China and its impact on the Soviet traditionalist versus pragmatist tendencies. If the United States policy. S is willing to take the chance of foregoing arms control negotiations and rejecting the objective of improving political- economic relations which encourage Moscow to become a responsible actor in the international environment, then actions in US-China security cooperation which support the traditionalist position should be pursued. On the other hand, if a major objective of the United States continues to be strategic arms limitations and leaving the channels of communication open for cooperation when it is in each party's mutual interest, policies which do not undermine the Soviet pragmatist position should be followed. While these issues are important in their own right, they are even more important since inevitably a major political succession crisis will occur within the Soviet Union sometime during the 1980's. The Soviet tendency which emerges victorious from this struggle could very well set the tone of US-Soviet relations for the next quarter of a century. (U) One important caveat should be noted and emphasized. The preceding discussion assumes that US policy would or could be carefully modulated to manipulate the debate between Soviet traditionalists and pragmatists in order to assure some desired impact upon Soviet policy. In the past, the United States has not done too well in such a task and probably there is little reason to believe that our abilities will improve significantly in the next decade. Such a finely tuned orchestration of foreign policy is probably not within the capabilities of a pluralist, democratic nation. When one realizes that Washington would have to design policies not only to impact upon the Kremlin, but also simultaneously affect Beijing as well, the feasibility of carrying out such a program must be seriously questioned. 4. (U) Japan and the Koreas, If Sino-American security cooperation increases through the 1980's, Japan, the Republic of Korea (ROK), and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will be forced to reevaluate their respective defense postures and priorities. It will be essential for the United States to consult very closely with its Northeast Asian allies and to maintain a visible and credible presence in the region to ensure that an evolving relationship with China does not adversely affect US interests and objectives. a. (U) Japan. The Japanese people today are highly conscious of defense problems. For the first time since 1945 public opinion polls indicate that most Japanese regard defense issues as being more salient than economic or environmental issues. Similarly, all Japanese political parties now regard national defense as a legitimate subject for Diet debate. Finally, members of the academic community and the Self-Defense Forces now participate in unprecedented public discussion. This is not to suggest that Japan is on the verge of a rapid reorientation in its defense posture. These events, however, do show that public and private opinion in Japan is in a state of flux and that evolving US relations with the PRC will be rigorously scrutinized by groups representing all relevant sectors of Japanese opinion. (1) (U) Two sets of related events seem to spark the present concern: a perceived lack of US commitment to the defense of the region and the increase in the Soviet military presence there, especially in those islands of the Kurile chain claimed by Japan. The 1971 announcement of President Nixon's proposed journey to China in 1972 caused severe problems for the government of Prime Minister Sato. The Japanese policy of not recognizing the PRC was never wholly popular even within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). A succession of LDP prime ministers had rendered themselves politically vulnerable by deferring to the US position. The speed and secrecy with which the United States moved towards normalization made it difficult for Japanese politicians to prepare their constituents for a reversal in US policy. and Japanese policies. The Nixon Doctrine, US withdrawal from Vietnam, and the ultimate turn of events in the Indochinese peninsula further undermined Japanese perceptions of the value of the US relationship and of the importance the United States attached to it. Finally, the Carter Administration's position on withdrawal of the US ground forces from Korea, coupled with the admittedly necessary US preoccupation with the Indian Ocean and Southwest Asia, literally forced Japan to reexamine its strategic position. (2) (U) During the same period, Japan and the USSR continued to discuss a peace treaty and Japan-USSR economic cooperation. As Japan warmed to China, however, Soviet-Japanese relations cooled. Tension then mounted as the Soviet Union reinforced islands claimed by Japan and increased harassment of Japanese fishing boats in adjacent waters. (3) (U) Despite its economic strength, Japan has been and remains acutely affected by the actions of outside powers. The events of the 1970s provided impetus for change but domestic political and economic conditions helped to prevent this impetus from being translated into a more aggressive policy. The challenge posed by the emergence of a new or different force in the region will help to remove at least the political constraints and could thereby encourage pressures for change. Sino-American security cooperation suggests that China may emerge as a new and more potent regional force, and in a shorter time than might otherwise have been expected. It may also be expected that Japan will be forced to play a different role in the region than it has in the past. (4) (U) Even though Sino-American security relations are basically at the Option 1 level, Soviet reaction directed toward Japan has been swift and from the Japanese point of view quite hostile. The USSR alternately has warned Japan of possible consequences of too close a relationship with China and the United States and then tried to woo Japan away. In fact, it is this dichotomy in Soviet policy that has contributed to the new defense mood in Japan. If the United States continues to limit security assistance to China to dual-use equipment and nonlethal technology, present levels of Soviet hostility probably will endure, thus encouraging those Japanese officials who favor a more vigorous defense posture. If US security assistance to China begins to exceed present levels, Soviet hostility towards Japan could greatly increase and thereby reinforce Japanese perceptions of the seriousness of the Soviet threat. In this case, the Maritime Self-Defense Force (MSDF) could be expected to increase its antisubmarine warfare capability substantially and also to increase the number of surface combatants to assist in protecting northern and eastern lines of communication and in the defense against offensive amphibious operations. The permissible operating range of the MSDF might be increased to protect lines of communication from the south. Likewise, increases in the capabilities of the Ground and Air Self-Defense Forces could occur. These illustrations are intended to underscore the principle that throughout the 1980s, each ""escalation"" of US assistance to China will probably exacerbate Soviet hostility to Japan; further, such hostility will support Japanese officials who seek greater military power. It should be emphasized, however, that the opinion of officials (certainly within the Self-Defense Forces) is ahead of public opinion on this issue and that this gap will militate against immediate development of a Japanese offensive capability. (5) (U) However, if the United States were to move towards a ""significant relationship"" or ""de facto alliance"" with China, the Japanese might consider that to be a fundamental departure from current policy and begin to introduce a modicum of offensive power projection into their military planning. If the Chinese were to possess a projectable offensive capability, this could further exacerbate Soviet hostility towards Japan and potentially lead to a more aggressive Japanese military posture. y capabilities to more actively pursue its interests in the region, Japanese attitudes may change. In particular, if China were to successfully resolve the Taiwan issue, this could have a significant impact on Japanese perceptions of China's power and intentions. If China were seen as successfully challenging US dominance in the region and replacing it as the dominant power, Japan may feel compelled to reevaluate its own defense capabilities and potentially increase its military capabilities. bility including their small strategic force, China could then act from a position of greater strength to support its dependent policies in East Asia. A stronger and ultimately more independent China would strain the equilibrium of forces in the region, seriously degrade Japan's ability to pursue its interests competitively with China and the USSR, increase Soviet efforts alternately to threaten and woo Japan, and could generally heighten Japanese doubts about US intentions. In effect, Japan would be in a position where perceived threats to its vital national interests would dictate a strong and more independent response. More important, Japan might be put in a position where it would opt to increase its own military capabilities.14 (6) (U) The Japanese are prevented at the present time from seeking an accord with the USSR essentially because of Soviet intransigence on the northern islands question. The salience of this issue in Japan is such that no government could compromise without appearing to capitulate. On the other hand, it is also unlikely that the Soviet leaders could reverse their position without serious difficulty. In any case, the Japanese would probably resist Soviet blandishments because, from the Japanese point of view, continuing Chinese economic and technological needs render the PRC easier to deal with than the Soviet Union. Japan has and will continue to have substantial leverage with respect to the People's Republic. There is less with the USSR.15 (7) (UV) A similar rationale would prevent Japan from assuming a neutral posture. Pro-defense advocates would argue that reliance on relatively narrow concepts of self-defense is responsible for bringing Japan to its present weak state. They would redefine self-defense to encompass the idea of an active defense against the USSR and more vigorous competition with China. This formulation, as was suggested earlier, could well receive the support of significant sectors of Japanese opinion. Thus, if the United States moves significantly beyond present levels of security cooperation with China, it could force the Japanese to become more independent and aggressive in foreign policy, and also to bring defense policy into line with their new approach to foreign relations. (8) (U) Three other factors will influence Japanese responses to evolving US-China security relations. Japanese perceptions of the impact of security relations on the stability of the Korean peninsula, the Japanese assessment of China's capacity to absorb increasingly sophisticated forms of technology, and the effect of Sino-US cooperation on the status of Taiwan. If the United States moves towards ""de facto alliance"" policies, these considerations and perceptions will increasingly militate in favor of a more active Japanese defense policy. (9) (U) At present, the Japanese see China as an important force for restraining the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) from seeking reunification of the peninsula by force. Accordingly, they acknowledge the utility of US, and indeed their own, policies towards China. In the same way, Japanese business and government circles have evaluated Chinese cancellation of several joint projects as illustrating Chinese inability to pay for and/or absorb higher levels of technology. The Japanese see a number of systemic impediments to China's modernization in all spheres and have revised earlier forecasts of rapid Chinese progress. 16 Finally, in the short term, the Japanese seem able-~albeit grudgingly--to live with the present status of Taiwan. Japan possesses some economic leverage over the PRC and can be expected to apply it in preserving its important interests in Taiwan. At present, 20 UNCLASSIFIED rce deployments in the Pacific at present levels and continue to improve the capability of ROK forces. If the United States were unable to provide these assurances, or if the Republic of Korea believed that US security interests were being subordinated to other US foreign policy interests, it would probably seek to expand its own military capabilities. In this case, South Korea might seek to develop or acquire nuclear weapons, or it might seek to develop an independent strategic deterrent capability. This could trigger a regional arms race, with other countries in the region, such as Japan and Taiwan, also seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. This would have severe consequences for regional stability and US security interests. (3) (U) If Korean planners perceived a greater imbalance of forces than already exists, they would most likely seek renewed public US assurances to maintain the US 2d Infantry Division in forward deployment. They would probably also seek assurances that the United States would maintain its own air and sea force deployments in the Pacific at present levels and continue to improve the capability of ROK forces. If the United States were unable to provide these assurances, or if the Republic of Korea believed that US security interests were being subordinated to other US foreign policy interests, it would probably seek to expand its own military capabilities. In this case, South Korea might seek to develop or acquire nuclear weapons, or it might seek to develop an independent strategic deterrent capability. This could trigger a regional arms race, with other countries in the region, such as Japan and Taiwan, also seeking to acquire nuclear weapons. This would have severe consequences for regional stability and US security interests. forces at levels sufficient to deter the North and its supporters. Third, the ROK would try to ensure for itself an increased flow of military equipment equal in sophistication to that provided by the United States to China. Finally, South Korea and Japan could be expected to begin greater coordination of their respective defense efforts. As the United States enhances Chinese military capabilities, Japan and South Korea might feel it necessary to press for continued and even expanded US efforts on their behalf. It will be difficult for the United States to justify to Asian allies a net reduction in its efforts on grounds that the PRC enhances deterrence of the USSR and its allies. (4) (U) Ironically, at the same time there could be strong domestic pressure in the United States to reduce the US presence if not the commitment to Northeast Asian allies. If South Korea is able to independently constrain the North and is linked more closely to Japan, and if Japan is better able to project power, important sectors of public opinion in the United States might argue that resources employed in Northeast Asia would be better employed elsewhere. The United States will have to take concrete steps to ensure that assistance to China is not perceived either in the United States or in allied nations as a way for the United States to reduce its presence or commitment to either Japan or the Republic of Korea. c. (U) Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). Three important factors will influence the course of defense planning in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea during the 1980s. First, North Korea must deal with the problem of succession to Kim Il Sung. Although Kim Jong Il, the dictator's son, appears to be heir apparent, the final decision has yet to be made. Moreover, it is difficult to predict with very much clarity what the orientation of any post-Kim Il Sung leadership will be. However, analysts generally seem to agree that whatever leadership emerges, it will not produce a major reorientation towards the South. Second, the DPRK is in a state of economic distress, and this at a time when the ROK is achieving steady levels of economic, military growth and institutional stability. As time passes, it will become increasingly difficult for North Korea to work its will by military means. Finally, North Korea's Soviet and Chinese allies are themselves in a state of mutual hostility and Pyongyang is ultimately dependent on both. Unlike its adversary to the south, North Korea faces particularly acute difficulties in achieving its goals. (1) (U) North Korea would probably be happy to see the PRC achieve modernity, particularly in the military sphere. In fact, China's present relationship with the United States does not seem to have caused significant problems. For example, despite minor strains, Pyongyang has ""welcomed"" Prince Sihanouk and continues to support China's efforts in Cambodia. Relations with the USSR also remain mutually supportive. If the DPRK is troubled at all by the prospect of China's military modernization, it is because the leadership fears that the strings perceived to be attached to US security assistance will work to the disadvantage of the DPRK. Chinese moderation on reunification suggests that the Pyongyang leadership's fears in this regard may be justified. The DPRK may well feel that Beijing will accept permanent division of Korea if it means that the material resources for modernization can be attained. Whether Pyongyang's fears are justified or not, the pace of US-China security cooperation to date has not exacerbated them. security cooperation diminishes China's support for North Korea. The USSR, revising upwards its assessment of the Chinese threat, could then attempt to take advantage of PRC-DPRK tensions to consolidate its position with North Korea. A combination of increased Soviet trade benefits and additional security assistance might serve as an inducement. North Korea might perceive that its security needs would be better met by the Soviet Union while maintaining a formally correct relationship with China insofar as possible. China would then claim that the new situation is the result of ""social imperialism"" and ""hegemonism"" and also maintain the formally correct diplomatic, trade, and cultural relations that would permit it to remain appraised of events in Pyongyang. This scenario assumes that China can secure its borders with Korea and the USSR, that North Korea will determine it can get what it needs from the USSR, and that the USSR is sufficiently concerned about a Chinese threat to run the risk of possible confrontation with the United States in Korea. (3) (U) These assumptions will increase in importance as the security relationship with China continues to evolve. In any case, it is probable that the impact of closer Sino-American security relations on North Korea will be such that the United States will not find it easy to reduce either its presence or its direct participation in the affairs of the Korean peninsula. 5. (U) Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand. a. (U) Perceptions of US-China relations in Southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand are diverse. Not only do the positions of the 11 states relative to China and the United States vary, but there are different groups in each state which view the roles of China and the United States from contrasting perspectives. In the following discussion, it has been necessary to simplify complex positions and ignore some points of view entirely. (1) (U) According to official Vietnamese statements, the developing entente between the United States and China is conclusive proof of the aggressive designs of both powers. Moreover, Sino-American collaboration, combining the two leading enemies of Communist Vietnam, provides much of the rationale and justification for Vietnam's dependence on the Soviet Union. As long as Chinese-supported guerrillas oppose Hanoi's client regime in Kampuchea and the PLA threatens Vietnam's northern border, increased Sino-American security cooperation, especially if weapons or weapons technology were transferred to Beijing, probably would deepen the hostility of the Vietnamese leaders towards the United States. It would also reinforce the current tendency to rely on Soviet assistance to defend against the threat from China, which would seem more ominous because of direct American assistance to the PLA. However, if in the future the tensions with China were lessened because of a political solution of the Kampuchea problem, especially if the Chinese acquiescence in the solution seemed to result from US pressure, and American policy toward Vietnam became more flexible, Hanoi might see some value in closer US-China security cooperation. Vietnamese leaders might even believe that the United States would be better able to restrain PRC behavior through Option 2 level security cooperation than with Option 1 level. With the reduction of the Chinese threat apparently related to the provision of US military assistance to Beijing, and therefore more stable than if the reduction in tensions were merely the whim of Chinese leaders, the Vietnamese leadership or groups within it might feel confident enough to try to reduce Vietnam's dependency on the Soviet Union. To provide China capabilities which could be used against Vietnam would obviously not contribute to conditions for curbing the flow of Soviet military and economic aid. At the present time, Kampuchea and Laos are so dominated by Vietnam that the perceptions of Their leaders, which on this subject probably conform to those of the Vietnamese, are irrelevant. (2) (U) In non-Communist Southeast Asia, attitudes toward Sino-American security cooperation are heavily influenced by perceptions of threat and the status of resident ethnic Chinese.22 (a) (U) The majority of Thai and Singaporean leaders, who are convinced that the Soviet-supported Vietnamese occupation of Kampuchea is an expression of a new imperialism and a serious threat to Thailand and ASEAN, apparently are unconcerned about or even supportive of US-China security relations, at least as far as short or mid-term considerations are concerned. Vietnam can be better opposed by China, which provides the principal military deterrent, in collaboration with the United States, which offers valuable diplomatic and material support, than by China and the United States acting independently or by China acting alone. It is probably significant that the leaders of Singapore, 76 percent of whose population is ethnic Chinese, and Thailand, where ethnic Chinese have been better assimilated than elsewhere in Southeast Asia, are not preoccupied with the problem of overseas Chinese. However, if the Kampuchean-Vietnamese issue, which to these officials raises the specter of Soviet interference in Southeast Asia, recedes from the center of ASEAN deliberations, US-China relations may be perceived much more critically. Without a significant Soviet-Vietnamese threat to be opposed, these officials could view China supported by the United States as a significant obstacle to the independence and prosperity of their countries. Many Singaporeans and Thais now speak of the long-term problem which might be spawned by close relations between the United States and the PRC. (b) (U) Generally, the urgent sense of threat articulated by most Thai and Singaporean leaders is only held by a minority in the rest of Southeast Asia, and concern about the possible role of China in the area is greater. In the Philippines, over which Soviet reconnaissance planes have flown unauthorized missions, China is viewed primarily as a force to supplement the US presence and balance the Soviet Union. Concern about the future behavior of the PRC as a supporter of insurgency, a focus of loyalty for the relatively small but economically significant ethnic Chinese population, and ultimately a regional military power is present, however. (c) (U) For most leaders of Indonesia and Malaysia (a minority tend to concur with the majorities in Singapore and Thailand) the threat from Vietnam and the Soviet Union has less saliency than the threat of intervention that they perceive from China. This threat is apparently more a function of the position of ethnic Chinese in each society than a strategic estimate, although Indonesians and Malaysians do argue their case in strategic terms. The 4 million ethnic Chinese in Indonesia occupy a far more important role in the nation's economy than their proportion of the population justifies, and they are widely resented for their economic success. They are also viewed as having facilitated PRC penetration of the Sukarno regime by providing intelligence and financially supporting the Partai Kommunist Indonesia (PKI). There has been relatively little recent PRC interference in Indonesian affairs, although the discovery of illegal Chinese aliens and alleged PKI disturbances have been portrayed as part of a Beijing-sponsored plot. Some leaders of the PKI live in exile in China and periodically have been given the use of propaganda facilities to attack the Suharto government. 23 (4) (U) Malaysia's ethnic Chinese make up some 29 percent of the population, but hold the leading positions within the economy. To the Malay elite which rules Malaysia, the possibility of an alliance of Chinese Malaysians and the PRC is a constant threat. Moreover, PRC interference in Malaysian affairs is a contemporary phenomenon: the Vo f the Soviet Union in the region. However, this could be offset by concerns about China's own military ambitions and its potential role as a regional hegemon. (b) (U) Additionally, increased security cooperation with China could lead to concerns about the credibility of US security commitments to the region and the balance of power in East Asia. This could result in a shift in regional security dynamics and potentially increase tensions between countries in the region. (c) (U) On the other hand, maintaining a strong US military presence in the area and continuing to support regional economic and political development could help alleviate these concerns and reinforce US objectives in the region. (d) (U) It is also possible that increased security cooperation with China could lead to improved relations between China and other countries in the region, which could benefit US interests in the long term. However, this would depend on the specific nature of the security cooperation and the reactions of other regional players. (e) (U) Overall, the impact of US-China security cooperation on US objectives in the region will depend on a variety of factors, including the level and nature of the cooperation, the reactions of other regional players, and the broader political and economic context in which it takes place. Continued engagement and careful management of relations with all countries in the region will be necessary to achieve US objectives and maintain stability in East Asia. If the Soviet Union and Vietnam by signaling US concern and the convergence of US and Chinese objectives in a dramatic way. The risk would be that the United States might become identified with all of the PRC's Vietnam policy, including the armed invasion in 1979 and any similar action which might occur in the future, or that the United States was deferring to China in the formulation and execution of Southeast Asian policy. If this perception can be minimized by maintaining US force levels, demonstrating US interest in the area, and persuading the PRC to moderate its behavior, the cost in terms of loss of influence with Indonesia, Malaysia, and perhaps the Philippines would probably be minimal and acceptable. Otherwise, the US commitment to the security of Southeast Asia might lose some of its credibility. (b) (U) Raising the level of security cooperation to Option 3 or Option 4, which besides the strong political symbolism would provide China with military capabilities which could be effectively used against regional states (although they would be of limited use against the USSR), would undoubtedly create greater tensions between the United States and states of the area, particularly in Southeast Asia, than US-China security cooperation at the Option 2 level. Such a policy could lend credence to the position that China as much as the Soviet Union strives to dominate East Asia, and at the least increase the fears of those who view China as a major threat. In the near term, Option 3 and 4 security cooperation might serve to balance Soviet force increases. In the long term, it may provide opportunities for the Soviet Union to expand its influence. 26 -CONFIDENTIAL UNCLASSIFIED (4) (U) One of the most critical immediate goals of US policy in Southeast Asia is to prevent the Soviet Union from establishing permanent bases in Indochina, and to limit Soviet access to Vietnamese military facilities. Security cooperation with the PRC probably would not directly affect this goal except in the obvious sense that Vietnamese leaders may desire greater military and economic assistance from the Soviet Union, and be more likely to agree to a Soviet request for permanent facilities, if China's military capability deployed against Vietnam is improved as a result of US assistance. On the other hand, given conditions like those described above, wherein the United States seemed to be restraining China and members of the Vietnamese elite sought to lessen its dependence on the Soviet Union, closer US-China security cooperation might contribute to Vietnam's resistance of Soviet demands for more effective use of the facilities in Vietnam. (5) (U) US-China security cooperation probably has no bearing on the maintenance of US military facilities in Australia or the Philippines. However, the maintenance of those facilities, particularly the bases in the Philippines, is related to whether closer Sino-US security cooperation will serve the objectives of the United States in the area. The perception of a permanent military presence depends largely on the stationing of naval and air capabilities at Clark Air Base and Subic Naval Station. If these Philippine bases (the facilities in Australia are much smaller and have less significance in Southeast Asia) had to be abandoned, the resulting departure of US forces might cause leaders in many nations to view US-China security cooperation more critically than when US forces were present. In addition to their military function, then, the US military facilities have a political function of significance, particularly in Southeast Asia. Yet in the future, because of domestic Philippine politics, the United States could find it impossible to maintain Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Station, even though they now appear to be critical to the execution of US strategy in East, South, and Southwest Asia. Therefore, alternative arrangements to maintain the perception of a permanent US military presence in the region may need to be considered. Presence should be continuously explored and contingency plans capable of rapid execution developed so that the benefits which accrue from closer security cooperation with China may be retained, even if the military advantages of Clark and Subic cannot be duplicated. 6. (U) US-China security cooperation would only seem to affect the other US regional objectives indirectly, in the sense that US-China relations may enhance or diminish the general impression of the United States. 6. (U) South and Southwest Asia. a. (U) The United States, Soviet Union and China have all been involved to varying degrees with South Asia since the early 1950's. The concern of each of these nations with the other has been reflected in their relations with India and Pakistan. Diplomatic support along with economic and military assistance have been the instruments of superpower foreign policy towards the subcontinent. (1) (U) Traditional concern for South Asia has in recent years been supplemented with a major and direct US commitment to Southwest Asia. The denial of this area to the Soviet Union, and continued access to oil and SLOC's, has meant the exacerbation of US-Soviet relations which, in turn, impinge on Sino-US relations. (2) (U) The strengthening of the US commitment to South and Southwest Asia is a positive turn of events from Beijing's point of view. For years, it has warned that the US ""hands off"" policy is an example of self-deception because it only enables Moscow to move in to exert its ""hegemony"" southward. (3) (U) Moscow has repeatedly pushed South Asian nations to subscribe to some form of a system of collective security in Asia. The initial timing of this proposal, made on the heels of the 1969 Sino-Soviet border clash is seen not only by Beijing, but also by other nations in Asia, as a plan to contain the PRC. The Soviets have refuted Chinese accusations that their plan calls for an encirclement of China by a Soviet sphere of influence in Asia by pointing out that the USSR is not only a European but an Asian power as well. The Chinese counter that the Soviet scheme ""means that developing countries must meekly submit to the men in the Kremlin as if they were Moscow's vassal states.""28 China has been especially concerned that Moscow does not solidify the southern flank of China and that ""Soviet revisionism's tattered flag for an anti-China military alliance""29 not succeed. (4) (U) Taken in this context, US efforts to oppose the Soviets in their own backyard, i.e., in South and Southwest Asia, is a move welcomed by Beijing. Unlike the containment policies of the 1950's, Washington's current focus on Moscow's possible move southward mirrors similar concerns in Beijing. As such, it is a policy long advocated by the PRC. b. (U) Beijing's policy in South Asia has been closely tied to the state of its relations with Moscow. Furthermore, alignments in South Asia have been polarized around either the USSR or the PRC. (1) (U) Another major Asian power, India, has competed with China within Third World councils. Today, the PRC may have eclipsed India as a leader of the Third World. Beijing's self-declared policy of eschewing superpower status is justified on the grounds that to be a superpower means ""playing the tyrant in the world, and everywhere subject (sic) others to bullying, aggression and exploitation.""30 (2) (U) Indian fears of the PRC transcend the military and involve the psychological. Memories of the rout suffered at Chinese hands in 1962 still remain. Despite years of concerted military development and an impressive industrial base capable of sustaining a respectable indigenous armament industry, New Delhi is obsessed with fears of an attack by China alone or in concert with Pakistan. (3) (U) Given these fears, various Indian leaders, Mrs. Gandhi most prominent among them, see a real need for India's Moscow connection which is viewed as ensuring restraint by Beijing as well as serving as a counterbalance to China's growing power. (4) ‘(U) New Delhi is extremely suspicious of any talk of parallel interests between Washington and Beijing. Mrs. Gandhi displays a tendency to look upon a Sino-US response to any Soviet challenge in Afghanistan as a camouflage for extending US control in South and Southwest Asia. India sees China as welcoming such a move. (5) (U) From the Indian perspective, Sino-US normalization is moving apace. Ever since full diplomatic recognition in January 1979, economic and diplomatic interaction has proceeded well, a trend which the Indians fear could presage closer military cooperation. While ""de facto alliance"" as reflected in the matrix of Sino-US relations would provide the worst case scenario, New Delhi is not pleased at even limited cooperation with military overtones, e.g., sale of dual-use technology. 28 - UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED (6) (U) Indian predispositions to remain Moscow's friend in South Asia will make it extremely difficult to accept any form of Sino-US cooperation. While some movement towards normalization of Sino-Indian relations has taken place, as yet it is far from a significant rapprochement. The anti-US bias of Indian policy under Mrs. Gandhi will continue to be useful to Moscow since New Delhi can contest policies also unwelcome for the USSR. Indian condemnation of US reactions in Southwest Asia and an enlarged presence in the Indian Ocean are a case in point. Close relations between Washington and Beijing will make Sino-Indian normalization more difficult. However, the rapprochement may well not occur even if Sino-US cooperation remains limited. (7) (U) Pakistan is the one country in the region with whom the PRC has been continuously and actively involved since the early 1960's. Ties have been strengthened because Islamabad supports Beijing's view of ""Indian expansionism and Soviet hegemonism."" Furthermore, Pakistan welcomed China's championship of the Third World and the loss by India of the position of leadership. Diplomatic and economic, as well as military, help from the PRC have been of tremendous significance for Pakistan. Nevertheless, Islamabad recognizes the limitations which the Sino-Soviet problem and the Indo-Soviet treaty impose on Beijing's full support for Pakistan. Even so, as General Zia stated in his July 1980 interview when speaking of the PRC: ""Their word is as good as gold with us.""3 (8) (U) The PRC also derives certain advantages from its relations with Pakistan. First, Pakistan has provided China with another link to the outside world, particularly before 1971. Second, Pakistan is the only friend China can count on in the important area of South and Southwest Asia. This can be especially useful with conservative Arab regimes who are, by inclination, indiscriminately anti-Communist. Third, Sino-Pakistan friendship restrains possible Soviet successes in Pakistan. (9) (U) Seeing Pakistan as a shield against Soviet expansion, the PRC's response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was to call for concrete measures and ""practical actions"" to stop further Soviet moves, 22 Thus, in the context of Chinese concern with Soviet power, Sino-Pakistani policies have reinforced each other, as Indo-Soviet policies have coincided in relation to China. (10) (U) Islamabad would welcome closer Sino-US cooperation along the entire spectrum of possibilities. Because of its special role in the establishment of Sino-US ties, Pakistan would be pleased if the China opening was followed up with close interaction. However, Islamabad recognizes that there are difficulties in the path of close Sino-US cooperation. (11) (U) Leaders in Pakistan believe that the closer the ties between the PRC and the United States, the greater the likelihood that Beijing's pleas for more US economic and military assistance will receive favorable action. Therefore, improved US-China security cooperation is seen as providing a means of improving Pakistan's security. (12) (U) Perceptions of countries of South Asia, including Pakistan, are shaped by their own national interests and strategic considerations. Islamabad's desire for closer Sino-US cooperation is driven by its own security concerns and its belief that such cooperation could benefit its own relationship with the United States. Western European countries do not perceive China as a major military threat to the region, as they are more concerned with Soviet aggression. However, they do recognize China's growing economic and political influence in the world and see potential for increased cooperation and trade with China. b. (U) National Positions. (1) (U) France. France has maintained a consistent policy towards China, recognizing its importance as a regional power in Asia and seeking to maintain good relations with Beijing. France has also been a strong advocate for ending the arms embargo against China and has continued to sell military equipment to China despite US objections. Paris sees China as a potential counterbalance to Soviet influence in Asia and as a valuable economic partner. (2) (U) United Kingdom. The UK has also maintained a consistent policy towards China, recognizing its importance as a regional power and seeking to develop closer economic ties. However, the UK has been more cautious than France in its approach to arms sales to China, and has generally followed the lead of the US on this issue. The UK also sees China as a potential counterbalance to Soviet influence in Asia and as an important economic partner. (3) (U) West Germany. West Germany has also pursued closer economic ties with China, and has become one of China's largest trading partners in Europe. However, West Germany has been more cautious in its approach to arms sales to China, and has generally followed the lead of the US on this issue. West Germany also sees China as a potential counterbalance to Soviet influence in Asia and as an important economic partner. (4) (U) Italy. Italy has pursued closer economic ties with China, and has also sought to expand political relations. However, Italy has been more cautious in its approach to arms sales to China, and has generally followed the lead of the US on this issue. Italy also sees China as a potential counterbalance to Soviet influence in Asia and as an important economic partner. (5) (U) Other European countries have also sought to expand economic and political relations with China, but have generally been more cautious in their approach to arms sales. Most European countries see China as an important economic partner and potential counterbalance to Soviet influence, but do not view China as a major security threat to the region. European strategists do not expect active participation by China in the often-discussed ""two-front strategy"" against the Soviet Union. China is militarily vulnerable, and Western Europeans realize that Beijing wants to ease tensions on the Sino-Soviet border by diverting Moscow's attention to the west. Nonetheless, China is viewed as contributing to European security by acting as a counterweight, tying down Soviet divisions on the Sino-Soviet border which could be deployed elsewhere. (4) (U) West Europeans were attracted by the benefits inherent in economic penetration of Chinese markets after the Four Modernizations drive was launched, but trade has not reached the levels anticipated when official relations were established between the EEC and China. Recently there have been a series of contract cancellations, and trade may have already peaked for the short term. China's two largest European trading partners, the Federal Republic of Germany and France, had a two-way combined trade with China of only $696.3 million during the third quarter of 1980. This represents a reduction even before the recent spate of contract cancellations, from $738.0 million for the same period in 1979. (6) (U) From the European perspective, trade with Beijing has been constrained due to China's lack of foreign exchange, and the Chinese propensity for making limited purchases with the intent of establishing reverse engineering projects. Moreover, at least until recently, European detente with the USSR has resulted in positive economic and political benefits which many Europeans will not sacrifice for closer ties to China. As pointed out by retired US Foreign Service Officer and noted scholar O. Edmund Clubb: ""The Western Europeans...will not be persuaded by Hua (Guofeng)'s summons to political confrontation with 'hegemonism' to abandon their profitable trade with the Soviet Union in favor of exploiting the 'boundless' market of China on unlimited credit."" (7) (U) Western Europe's relationship with China is constrained to some degree by Moscow's adversarial relationship with Beijing. Moscow condemned the EEC-China trade agreement, and has repeatedly warned against arms sales and military collusion between Western Europe and China. Western Europe would prefer an approach balanced between defense and detente in their relationship with the Soviet Union, so tensions can be reduced and resources diverted to alleviate domestic inflationary pressures. Europeans generally prefer a selective linkage approach in their relations with the USSR, with detente insulated from bilateral Soviet-American relations, SALT negotiations, and Sino-US relations that could threaten relaxation of international tensions. Europeans, and particularly the West Germans, are not ready to sacrifice the benefits of detente with a situation that might be described as a ""Russian bear that is right outside their door."" (8) (U) The degree of detente pursued by individual West European nations is roughly in direct proportion to their geographic proximity to the Warsaw Pact border. While this oversimplifies the relationship, it is clear that Western Europe in general, and the West Germans and French in particular, view detente with Moscow in terms of practical, political advantages. The nations of Europe cannot be viewed as similar entities with identical reactions to Chinese overtures, Soviet warnings, and Sino-US rapprochement. Britain's sympathetic and traditional ties to the United States differ from France's independent mien and recent initiatives to deepen scientific, technical and economic cooperation with the Soviet Union. The West Germans are perhaps more enigmatic. Although the number one ""capitalist trading partner"" of the Soviet Union by 1978, West Germany is still one of the staunchest allies of the United States, as evidenced by Bonn's boycott of the 1980 Olympics, protesting Soviet intervention in Afghanistan. (9) (U) Any review Views of dissimilarities exemplified by the preceding short examples must be leavened when viewing the future by awareness of the new sense of unity in the European community. The European Economic Community has been growing steadily, and the European Parliament was formed following the election of members for the first time in 1979. A European monetary system was created in 1979 and consolidated in 1980, and there is now a European Court. The dynamics of this evolution into a distinct and stronger geopolitical community are just now beginning to be felt. Disparate and contrasting views from Western Europe can be expected for the foreseeable future, but there already has been some narrowing of these differences. This new network of communications and consultation will continue reducing differences in West European perceptions of security relationships. b. (U) Perceptions of Potential Options of US-China Security Relations. UNCLASSIFIED c. (U) Impact of Perceptions on US Interests and Objectives. (1) (U) The US affiliation with Western Europe is marked by the exceptional depth, breadth, length and stability of the relationship, founded upon historical legacy, kinship and common values. The mutual reliance that exists between the two continents, though tempered by national self-interests, impacts on any views of initiatives with security implications. (2) (U) West Europeans would feel threatened by closer Sino-US security ties (especially at the level of Option 3 or 4 in Arms Sales/Technology Transfers), based on the predictable Soviet reaction, and threats to detente and to the future of SALT and MBFR talks that are implicit in such a relationship. These perceptions will have a considerable impact on US initiatives towards Beijing, for while the United States too often fails in its commitment to close and continuous consultations with West European friends and allies, its first priority is still Europe. This commitment to West Europe, plus a strong mutuality of interests and security concerns, makes the United States highly sensitive and responsive to European perceptions. 8. (U) Special US Foreign Policy Issues. US security cooperation with China could conceivably have an impact on virtually all aspects of US foreign policy. In many cases, however, the linkage appears to be indirect and tenuous. US policy toward the Third World, over which China apparently wants to assert leadership, probably is affected by US-China relations, but it is uncertain what special impact security cooperation has. Similarly, while the developments in Sino-US relations have undoubtedly influenced American behavior in the United Nations, security cooperation probably will not make any direct and obvious difference. Two issues, the problems of Taiwan and arms control, do appear to be explicitly linked to US-China security cooperation. (U) Taiwan. Although Mao Zedong and the Chinese Communists officially proclaimed the People's Republic of China over 30 years ago, the Chinese civil war has never been concluded. The survival of the Nationalist regime on the island province of Taiwan has created a long-standing issue which greatly complicates the development of US-China relations. The United States for many years guaranteed the security of Taiwan against any outside threat, and in the process prevented the reunification with the mainland which would likely have followed the Communist victory. In recent years US policy has undergone a transformation, shifting from a focus on Taiwan to a strategic alignment with the PRC; however, it is still painfully ambivalent on the question of Taiwan's future. In the face of growing political isolation in the international community, Taiwan has capitalized on its dramatic economic growth by substituting extensive commercial relations for official diplomatic relations. The political stability, rising standard of living and pro-Western orientation of Taiwan are all factors which make it a valuable ally to the United States in the Pacific region. However, the US also has a strong interest in maintaining good relations with the PRC, and any security cooperation with China could potentially complicate the delicate balance between these two interests. (1) (U) Unfortunately, the United States is uncomfortably placed in the middle of this triangular relationship, much closer to either side than the Chinese parties are to each other. For the time being, at least, the opposing views of Beijing and Taipei appear to be irreconcilable. China is fundamentally committed to the eventual reunification of Taiwan with the mainland, although it has demonstrated some flexibility on the pace and scope of the reunification process. On the other hand, the authorities in Taiwan, who still claim to represent the legitimate government of all China, have refused to consider reunification with the mainland under any Communist government. Taiwan has scorned the tentative concessions made by China's post-Mao leadership, and has vigorously renewed its vow to return to the mainland. (2) (U) In this environment, characterized by the fundamental antipathy of the two Chinese factions, security cooperation between the United States and China will inevitably be a volatile, highly contentious issue. Policy problems will be compounded by the presence in the United States of vocal constituencies for both sides. The pro-Taiwan group, in particular, may seek to make security cooperation with China a domestic political issue if they perceive that Taiwan's security is being threatened. (3) (U) While Taiwan would obviously prefer no US support whatsoever for China, it has resigned itself to American trade and investment in the mainland, which will improve China's technological base and support the modernization drive. However, any initiatives which involve the actual sale of advanced weapons, transfer of modern defense technology, or military-to-military relations will be strenuously opposed by Taiwan, using whatever tools of persuasion it can muster. Influential US supporters of Taiwan, for example, are likely to articulate Taiwan's case when it would be impolitic for the latter to do so itself. (4) (U) Domestic debate on the merits of increased US-China security cooperation underscores the rather stark implications for Taiwan. Any US aid and assistance which serves to upgrade China's military capabilities adversely affects the security interests of the authorities in Taiwan. The seriousness of these implications increases, of course, in direct proportion to the level of US-China security cooperation. At Option 1 level, the consequences for Taiwan are negligible. In the long term, an extensive economic relationship supporting broad modernization of China's agriculture and industry probably would have a greater adverse effect on Taiwan's security than the relatively harmless security initiatives possible under institutionalized normalization. (5) (U) At Option 2 level, the possibilities for substantial improvements in the Chinese armed forces increase markedly and would likely cause some serious concern in Taiwan. Nevertheless, the increased threat would likely remain at a manageable level for some time, due to the emphasis on defensive systems and technology. (6) (U) If the United States initiated security cooperation with China at the Option 3 level, more immediate Taiwanese security interests would be threatened. The distinction between defensive and offensive weapons may be clear in abstract discussions, but begins to break down quickly in practical applications. (7) (U) At Option 4 level, Taiwan would feel gravely threatened, since the PRC would receive the best available weapons and military equipment. Moreover, the United States would be so closely linked with the PRC in its security relationship that it could ill-afford to assist Taiwan, even were it inclined to do so. Several years would be required, at a minimum, before forces from the mainland would be able to successfully invade the island or force it to capitulate. (8) (U) US-China security cooperation at successively higher levels will force the authorities on Taiwan to consider alternatives to present policies. If they continue to reject any form of reunification compromise with the Communists, re- gardless of the potential risks, several options are available. First, they can seek to align themselves with a countervailing power. Evidence of this can be seen already in Taiwan's interest in establishing some sort of formal security structure with Japan and South Korea. However, if threatened by a powerful, modernized China, Taiwan would need a stronger ally. The Soviet Union is probably the only power, other than the United States, which could effectively deter China from attempting forced reunification. A strategic alignment with the Soviet Union would probably be attractive only as a last resort after all other options had been foreclosed. (9) (U) Another alternative open to Taiwan is to develop and produce nuclear weapons. While it has not sought so far to acquire such a capability, Taiwan is among the growing number of countries possessing the necessary technical and pro- ductive capacity to do so. Faced with a growing threat from the mainland, possibly as a partial consequence of US-China military cooperation, Taiwan could view the development of a nuclear deterrent as a quick, albeit very dangerous, means of guaranteeing future security. (10) (UV) Taiwan would prefer a strong, unequivocal US commitment to its security, but realizes assurances incorporated into the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 are probably the best it can expect under the circumstances. However, by confirming the policy of the United States ""to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character,"" the Act does offer Taiwan the option of appealing to the United States for newer, better weapons. Such pleas have been made regularly since derecognition, and serve to keep Taiwan in the public eye, reinforcing the US security commitment. Militarily, the ability to purchase advanced weapons systems from the United States provides Taiwan the means to maintain a substantial qualitative advantage over the mainland. As US-China security cooperation moves past the Option 1 level, requests from Taiwan to purchase arms will likely increase. However, this becomes a less viable course of action if the deepening US-China security relationship moves to Option 3 or 4 levels. At that point, the strategic significance of the relationship would likely be too great for the United States to jeopardize by selling more arms to Taiwan. (11) (U) US-China security cooperation need not necessarily reinforce Taiwan's determination to remain implacably hostile to China. Certainly at Option 1 level, and perhaps Option 2 as well, Taiwan is not likely to modify its present foreign policy positions. At these levels, there is little or no incentive for Taiwan to seek any accommodation with China, or even to improve relations. Taiwan's impressive economic performance, accompanied by an increase in trade links and other commercial relations with the West, is building renewed self-confidence. At the same time, many Western nations have been disillusioned, at least temporarily, by the prospects for trade and investment in China. In the wake of successive economic ""readjustments,"" which have caused the deferral or outright cancellation of major projects already contracted, the wisdom of reducing trade with Taiwan in order to gain favor with China is being reassessed. Security cooperation at Option 3 or 4 levels, however, would serve notice to Taiwan that the economic advantages it enjoyed could not sufficiently compensate for the deterioration in security which would inevitably follow. Under these circumstances, Taiwan would be more inclined to consider lim (12) (U) In the preceding instance, US-China security cooperation at the higher levels could serve long-term US interests in the region. However, operationalizing and orchestrating a US policy to achieve the objective of bringing Taiwan and China closer together by entering an extensive security relationship with the latter would appear to be both difficult and dangerous. b. (U) Arms Control. China's successful test of a long-range ICBM in May 1980 and the US-China security relationship will likely complicate future arms control negotiations. China's declaratory position is that it opposes bilateral superpower arms control efforts, particularly SALT. China's opposition rests on a belief that such efforts are evidence of the world's two hegemonic powers attempting to divide the world and dictate to lesser powers. A declaratory rejection of SALT also reflects more fundamental, immediate Chinese concerns. First, China is clearly inferior in Strategic nuclear weapons. Acceptance of the philosophy of strategic nuclear arms control could consign China to a permanent state of inferiority vis-a-vis its two primary adversaries. Second, to date the SALT process has not extended to ""gray area"" systems. However, ""gray area"" systems, particularly the Soviet SS-20, BACKFIRE, MRBM, and IRBM, represent the most immediate and severe nuclear threats to Chinese security. Third, China has continually pointed out to the United States that SALT has neither constrained Soviet aggressive behavior, nor limited Moscow's strategic nuclear growth. China essentially sees the Soviets using SALT as a device to create a climate of opinion in the West which weakens the US commitment to strategic nuclear modernization, while Moscow continues to improve its nuclear forces not only in throw-weight and accuracy but also in the number of systems. (1) (U) These Chinese perceptions could have an adverse impact on future strategic arms limitation negotiations, particularly if China is to be a tacit US partner as a result of US-China security cooperation. In both SALT I and II, Soviet negotiators pointed out that the strategic nuclear threat to Moscow included not only US ICBM's, and French, British, and US forward-based systems, but Chinese weapons as well. This is one reason the USSR was able to successfully argue during SALT I that it needed more strategic weapons systems than did the United States. Moscow had to deter a variety of ""strategic"" threats, while the United States essentially was only concerned with the Soviet Union. If China continues its opposition to SALT, it could be difficult to achieve significant reductions in Soviet strategic systems. Continued Chinese nonparticipation in SALT could also mean that in order to obtain a SALT agreement the United States will have to allow Moscow an additional increment in capability to ""deter"" the Chinese. If this is true, the United States could face a serious dilemma that would be difficult to resolve: its foreign policy would call for encouraging the Kremlin to target some of its strategic nuclear forces on China, while simultaneously strengthening Chinese military capabilities through security cooperation. 36 UNCLASSIFIED y augmenting its capabilities with Chinese nuclear weapons, (3) (U) Third, an increasing Chinese strategic nuclear threat could revive Soviet interest in revising the ABM treaty. In part, both Moscow and Washington agreed to the 1972 ABM treaty because the state-of-the-art in ABM technology was such that neither could adequately protect its missiles or national command authority from an all-out nuclear attack. However, a limited ABM capability could provide the Soviets with a significant margin of protection against the Chinese nuclear threat, at least for the next 10 to 15 years. Conceivably Soviet planners could be tempted to abrogate the current ABM treaty or negotiate its amendment and deploy additional missiles to knock down Chinese missiles. Any Soviet effort to increase its ABM capabilities might be viewed in the east as increasing the Soviet threat to the United States, thus destabilizing mutual deterrence. On the other hand, in the future, the United States may also be interested in deploying ABMs to reduce the vulnerability of American ICBMs. (4) (U) Fourth, any attempt to involve China in strategic nuclear arms limitation forums would necessarily surface the issue of forward-based systems, since these are the most threatening to China. However, discussing limitations on SS-20's or BACKFIRE's in the Far East would open the door to similar questions about those systems in Europe, an issue of equal importance to the Soviets. US and European stay systems which are capable of hitting Soviet territory are currently not considered ""strategic"" for the purpose of nuclear arms limitations discussions. (5) (U) All of these issues may very well be raised in the coming decade even if there is no security cooperation between the United States and China. However, it is possible that the existence of US-China security cooperation could significantly complicate the strategic nuclear arms limitation process by creating the initial impression of a commonality of views between Washington and Beijing that would not exist. In the long run, the two superpowers probably have no alternative but to include China, as well as the other nuclear powers, in strategic arms negotiations. However, bilateral US-Soviet SALT negotiations are already in jeopardy. The possibility that US-China security cooperation might seriously complicate an already difficult problem should be recognized. (6) (U) MBFR negotiations present similar problems for the United States in the context of a possible security relationship with China. On one hand, an MBFR agreement reducing the size of Soviet forces facing Central Europe is in US and NATO interests. On the other hand, it is not in Chinese interests that Soviet forces removed from Europe be made available for redeployment to the Far East. Theoretically, at least, it could be argued that successful MBFR negotiations would reverse what is now the primary modus operandi for security cooperation with China. The present rationale for security cooperation with China is to relieve Soviet military pressure on Europe. MBFR agreements which enabled Moscow to redeploy some of its forces to the Far East could mean that US-China security cooperation at Options 2, 3, or even 4 might become necessary to balance growing Soviet power in Asia. S-China security cooperation could lead to an increased Soviet military presence in Asia. The Soviet Union would be likely to respond by providing additional military assistance to Viet- nam, stepping up arms sales to India, and perhaps also by taking other actions to strengthen its military posture in the region. c. (U) The United States must carefully consider the potential for damage to its relations with third countries. For example, US security cooperation with China could have an adverse impact on US-ROK relations. Although there is some evidence that the ROK is beginning to explore the possibilities of a relationship with China, it is unlikely that the ROK will be able to develop a relationship with China as close as that of the United States. a. (U) Security cooperation enhances the perception of a basic strategic realignment opposing the Soviet Union. b. (U) Security cooperation provides access to China which was not previously available. US-China contacts had not included interaction between defense and military officials until Secretary of Defense Brown visited Beijing in early 1980. High level contacts between the defense establishments of both countries are now becoming more routine, enabling both governments to become better informed about the policies, problems and strategic perspectives of the other. It is doubtful that the United States can cause the PRC to make internal decisions which Washington wants to see occur, if Beijing believes such decisions do not serve its national interests. However, since security cooperation implies a stronger mutual political commitment than the mere association of nations, it may provide additional reasons for Chinese decisionmakers to decide that China's interests will be served by deferring to US preferences and expectations and possibly increase the available US levers to influence Chinese decisionmakers. A mutually beneficial security cooperation program will reduce the likelihood of a return to hostile bilateral relations between the United States and China. c. (U) As a result of security cooperation, US capabilities for gathering information on the Soviet Union have been significantly enhanced. Expanded security cooperation could ensure constant and reliable US collection capabilities against Soviet ground forces on the Sino-Soviet border, the Soviet Pacific Fleet, as well as strategic nuclear weapons tests. d. (WU) Personnel exchanges can provide a means to increase general US knowledge of China and provide important opportunities to influence the PLA. Option 2 level security cooperation encompasses exchange visits between working level groups, and discussions of possible common approaches to common problems. Option 3 calls for the United States to assist China to develop doctrine and to integrate new weapons and equipment. Such activity necessitates extensive personal interaction and mutual confidence building. These actions would create a corps of Chinese and Americans whose shared experiences could facilitate US influence among China's military professionals. e. (U) US-China security cooperation tends to support the pragmatic leadership coalition now in control in China. This group values closer relations with the United States and has aggressively sought to restrain Soviet expansionism. A key factor in their ability to retain power in China will be the success of the Four Modernizations program. If US-China security cooperation supports the defense modernization program, and does not undermine the other three higher priority modernizations, it should also help secure the tenure of the pragmatic leadership. 2. (U) Risks in Expanding Security Relations With China. Security cooperation, while an essential component of the US relationship with China, is also the most sensitive component of the relationship. Increases in China's military capability will have consequences not only in Asia, but also throughout the world. Decisions concerning the pace, timing, and substance of changes in US security relations with China should therefore be considered in light of the possible risks to US interests and objectives discussed below. a. (U) A program of arms sales/technology transfer and training will most likely have an adverse impact on US-Soviet relations. It will strengthen the position of the traditionalists in the Soviet hierarchy and weaken the pragmatists. A traditionalist-dominated Soviet Union is less likely to be enthusiastic about SALT or interested in East-West dialogue, presumably still objectives of US policy, and more inclined to support autarky and the competitive (rather than cooperative) aspects of US-Soviet relations. b. (U) Heightened threat perception resulting from US-China security cooperation could lead to an increased Soviet military presence in Asia. The Soviet Union would be likely to respond by providing additional military assistance to Vietnam, stepping up arms sales to India, and perhaps also by taking other actions to strengthen its military posture in the region. c. (U) The United States must carefully consider the potential for damage to its relations with third countries. For example, US security cooperation with China could have an adverse impact on US-ROK relations. Although there is some evidence that the ROK is beginning to explore the possibilities of a relationship with China, it is unlikely that the ROK will be able to develop a relationship with China as close as that of the United States. S-China security cooperation might cause the Soviets to increase their troop strength on the Sino-Soviet border without reducing deployments opposite Western Europe. When the Soviet Union increased its Asian deployments in the 1960's and 1970's, forces were not transferred from other locations. Rather, the total strength of the Soviet armed forces was increased. New Soviet divisions deployed against China may have low levels of manning and readiness. Nevertheless, they will represent an increased threat and, given the tendencies of worst case planning, could have an adverse impact on perceptions in China, the United States, and other nations. e. (U) Arms sales/technology transfer and training programs could create tension between the United States and NATO allies, particularly if Sino-US cooperation goes hand-in-hand with reduced US interest in detente. Europeans, particularly Germans, prefer to follow a selective linkage approach in their relations with the USSR. Germans feel they have benefited economically and politically from detente and that military tensions in Europe have lessened. They do not want to see these positive regional developments jeopardized by US actions in other areas of the world. Therefore, security cooperation with China at the higher levels could undermine NATO solidarity, especially if US allies were not fully consulted ahead of time. The Soviet Union, which always tries to weaken the ties of the United States and its NATO allies, would likely seek to exploit such a situation. f. (U) Any equipment provided to China under Option 3 or 4 would improve Chinese military capabilities against US allies or other pro-Western regional states. Under the hypothetical possibilities of Option 3, F-X aircraft or naval surface vessels might increase the potential threat to Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. While the military threat would be initially marginal (except possibly to Taiwan), it is likely that US regional allies would request more advanced weapons for themselves. This could lead to a regional arms race, with the United States providing weapons to all the participants. g. (U) Due to the massive size of the Chinese armed forces, transfer of substantial quantities of weapons and equipment would be necessary before an appreciable improvement in Chinese capabilities could be achieved. If such items were provided to China from active or reserve forces inventories, modernization of the US force structure could be seriously retarded and the readiness levels degraded. Providing equipment from wartime replenishment stocks could further degrade US capabilities to meet general war or special contingency requirements. h. (U) Higher levels of US-China security cooperation might cause Japan to question the wisdom of basing its defense almost exclusively on the alliance with the United States. While this might spur Japanese officials to increase defense expenditures, a significant program of security cooperation with China, coupled with increased emphasis on other aspects of US-China relations, could lead them to conclude that China, rather than Japan, was becoming the cornerstone of US strategy in Asia and the Pacific. Moreover, while Japan views China as a limited military threat today, a modernized, militarily powerful China would be considered a serious threat. Finally, Japan wants to avoid unnecessary confrontations with the Soviet Union, and thus is not eager to be included in an anti-Soviet coalition with the United States and China. i. (U) Arms sales or transfers of military technology to the PRC will ensure that Taiwan remains a major issue. Superficially at least, the US and Chinese positions are similar. In reality, they are far apart, and probably irreconcilable for the time being. The authorities on Taiwan, and their influential supporters in the US Congress and elsewhere, will react to every real or potential increase in the military capabilities of China. 1. (U) Prioritize and sequence security cooperation efforts with China. It is important to prioritize and sequence security cooperation efforts with China in order to minimize risks and ensure successful outcomes. This means taking into account the potential consequences of each step and carefully considering the timing and order of actions. For example, it may be necessary to first build trust and establish a foundation for cooperation before moving on to more sensitive issues such as arms sales. 2. (U) Coordinate closely with allies and partners. Any security cooperation with China should be closely coordinated with allies and partners in the region. This will help to ensure that their concerns and interests are taken into account and that they are not caught off guard by any developments. Close coordination will also help to maintain a united front against potential threats in the region. 3. (U) Ensure adequate resources and capabilities. Before embarking on any expanded security cooperation with China, the United States must ensure that it has the necessary resources and capabilities to support such efforts. This includes both military forces and diplomatic resources. It may be necessary to increase force levels in the region or reallocate resources from other areas in order to adequately support expanded cooperation with China. are suggested by the analyses of this report. a. (U) While strategic considerations will necessarily continue to be important, the overall relationship between the United States and China should be allowed to mature and develop on its own merits, and not be used solely as a lever against the Soviet Union. If increasingly higher levels of security cooperation with China are tied directly to unacceptable Soviet behavior in other parts of the world, this implies that China is less than an independent factor in US policy deliberations, i.e., if Soviet behavior becomes less threatening to US interests and objectives, there will be only a small, if any, role for China to play in US foreign and defense policy. Furthermore, if US policy toward China is merely one element of US-Soviet relations, it can only coincidentally contribute to the achievement of American objectives not related to the Soviet Union. An enduring relationship with China is probably not possible if this is the basis of US policy. b. (U) If security cooperation is to play a positive role in future US-China relations, it should not become the leading element of the relationship. Shared strategic perspectives are important, but the mutual commitment implied by security cooperation should rest on a broad, firm base of economic, political, and cultural relations. Attempts to substantially expand security cooperation will ultimately fail, possibly with serious side-effects, unless they reflect growing confidence and consensus between the United States and China in these other areas as well. c. (U) Making arms sales and weapons technology transfers the driving feature of US-China security cooperation involves unnecessary risks. Such a policy could cause the Chinese to expect more than the United States would be willing or able to provide, endangering the entire relationship if their expectations are not met. It may also encourage, in China and elsewhere, the belief that the PRC has greater significance in US strategic planning than is actually the case. Other aspects of security cooperation are more likely to solidify the relationship and accomplish US national security objectives. d. (U) Specific Recommendations. a. (U) If requested, limited sales of clearly defensive weapons and technology--but not those with offensive applications--should be approved after consultations with allies and friends in Asia, whose opinions should be given appropriate consideration. International reactions to the initial sales should be weighed carefully before approval of subsequent requests. b. (U) Option 2 training activities could be implemented selectively, with PLA officers attending Command and General Staff or senior service level institutions. Courses which are substantially related to the use of equipment and technology not available to China should not be open to Chinese students. c. (U) Regular port calls by US ships and discussions with the Chinese over common approaches to take when coincidental interests are threatened, the plans/exercises activities of Option 2, could be implemented without threatening China's neighbors or destabilizing the region. It should be recognized, however, that the Soviet Union may attempt similar actions with its allies in the region to show its concern over US initiatives. Assisting the PRC develop plans and doctrine for use of new equipment (Option 3) which the United States has agreed to provide could be considered also. d. (U) Exchanging nonsensitive intelligence data (Option 2) carries little risk if implemented carefully, insuring that sensitive sources and capabilities are not compromised. In addition, benefits may be derived through the addition of Chinese input to US intelligence data. e. (U) Exchanging visits between working level officials and exchanging observers during some military exercises, ""Other"" (Option 2) activities, could also be approved without being provocative or destabilizing. g, ed. by R.

(U) Most observers believe that Vietnamese leaders want to break the dependency relationship with the Soviet Union, and that they will do so as soon as they can without unacceptable risks to their security. Vietnamese are said to be intensely nationalistic, and also not very fond of Russians. For instance, see William S. Turley and Jeffrey Race, ""The Third Indochina War,"" Foreign Policy, Spring 1980, pp. 92-116; Douglas Pike, ""The USSR and Vietnam,"" in The Soviet Union in the Third World: Success and Failures, ed. by Robert H. Donaldson, pp. 251-266; and Derek Davies, ""The Region: The Confucian Way,"" Asia 1980 Yearbook, p. 14. Some commentators, including Davies and Nayan Chanda of the Far Eastern Economic Review, have argued that a moderate group in the Communist Party of Vietnam had resisted the alliance with the Soviet Union and favored a more independent foreign policy. See also Kamuja, p. 752; and Nguyen Manh Hung, ""The Vietnamese Communist Party and the Soviet Union,"" Asian Survey, Vol. XX, No. 7, July 1980, pp. 754-762. However, others have argued that the Vietnamese leadership is deeply committed to the Soviet alliance and that there is no significant opposition within the party.

Chinese leadership, even though the regime has never publicly admitted that China is a developing country. The government's overall goal is to quadruple the 1980 GNP by the year 2000. This goal was set forth in the Third Plenum of the Eleventh Party Congress in December 1978, and was reaffirmed at the Twelfth Party Congress in September 1982.7 In order to achieve this goal, the Chinese leadership has adopted a four-pronged approach to economic development: the Four Modernizations. These are to modernize agriculture, industry, science and technology, and national defense. The Four Modernizations are interrelated, with success in one area depend- ing on success in the others. In addition, the Chinese leadership has identified three key areas of economic development: energy, transportation, and communications. The Chinese have also taken steps to improve their external economic relations. These steps include the establishment of economic and trade offices abroad, the liberalization of foreign trade and investment, and the establishment of special economic zones. d. (U) In order to achieve its economic development goals, China must overcome a number of problems. The Chinese leadership is aware of these problems and has taken steps to address them. The most pressing problem is the need to modernize the industrial sector. Although China has made significant progress in this area, its industrial base is still relatively small and technologically backward. In addition, China must modernize its agricultural sector in order to feed its growing population. Other problems include the need to develop its energy resources, to expand and modernize its transportation system, and to develop its scientific and technological capabilities. All of these areas require large infusions of capital and advanced technology. This is why China is seeking closer economic ties with the United States and other developed countries. e. (U) The Chinese leadership is also aware of the need to improve the living standards of the Chinese people. In the past, the Chinese have been willing to accept a lower standard of living in order to achieve other goals. However, as the Chinese population becomes more affluent, the Chinese leadership will be under increasing pressure to improve the standard of living. In addition, the Chinese leadership is aware that economic development is critical to maintaining political stability. If the Chinese are unable to provide adequate food, clothing, and shelter for their people, they risk losing the support of the populace. f. (U) The Chinese leadership also recognizes that economic development is critical to achieving its long-term foreign policy goals. The Chinese are concerned that their relatively low level of economic development will lead to increased dependence on foreign powers, particularly the superpowers. The Chinese are also concerned that their low level of economic development will limit their ability to influence the international system. Finally, the Chinese leadership is aware that economic development is critical to maintaining a strong national defense. Without a strong economy, China will be unable to support a modern military force or to develop and acquire advanced military technology. 5. (U) Political Maturation. a. (U) The Chinese leadership is also concerned with political maturation. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has always been concerned with its own survival, and has sought to insure its continued rule through the establishment of a strong and effective government. The Cultural Revolution dealt a severe blow to the CCP's ability to govern effectively. The current Chinese leadership is attempting to rebuild the Party and to reestablish its control over the government. In addition, the Chinese leadership is attempting to establish the rule of law in China. These B-2 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED efforts are designed to insure the continued stability of the Chinese regime and to enable the regime to deal effectively with the economic and foreign policy challenges facing China. b. (U) The Chinese leadership is also attempting to improve its relations with the Chinese people. The Chinese people have traditionally been suspicious of their government and have been willing to accept authoritarian rule only as long as the government provided for their basic needs. As the Chinese people become more affluent and better educated, they are likely to demand greater political freedom and to be less willing to accept authoritarian rule. The Chinese leadership is aware of this and is attempting to establish a better rapport with the Chinese people. This is one reason why the Chinese leadership has encouraged greater contact with the outside world. c. (U) The Chinese leadership is also attempting to improve its relations with the Chinese diaspora. The Chinese diaspora, which numbers over 20 million people, is an important source of capital and technology for China. In addition, the Chinese diaspora is a potential source of political support for the Chinese leadership. The Chinese leadership is aware of this and has taken steps to improve its relations with the Chinese diaspora. These steps include encouraging overseas Chinese to maintain their ties with China, to invest in China, and to return to China to work or retire. d. (U) Finally, the Chinese leadership is attempting to improve its relations with Taiwan. The Chinese leadership has always been concerned with reunification, but has been unwilling to use force to achieve this goal. Instead, the Chinese leadership has attempted to isolate Taiwan diplomatically and to encourage Taiwan to reunify with the mainland voluntarily. The Chinese leadership is aware that the use of force against Taiwan would have serious economic and political consequences, both domestically and internationally. Therefore, the Chinese leadership is attempting to develop economic and cultural ties with Taiwan in order to encourage reunification. 6. (U) International Interests. a. (U) The Chinese have a number of international interests which are critical to their national well-being. The Chinese view these interests as inseparably linked to their domestic interests. For example, the Chinese are seeking to develop closer economic ties with the United States and other developed countries in order to promote economic development and modernization. At the same time, however, the Chinese are concerned that closer ties with the West will lead to increased political and cultural influence which could undermine the stability of the Chinese regime. Similarly, the Chinese are seeking to promote political stability and economic development in Southeast Asia in order to insure regional security and to promote regional economic growth. However, the Chinese are concerned that their efforts to promote regional stability and development could lead to increased dependence on China by the countries of Southeast Asia. Finally, the Chinese are seeking to promote regional and international stability in order to promote a favorable international environment for economic development and to enhance China's influence in the international system. However, the Chinese are concerned that their efforts to promote regional and international stability could lead to increased dependence on China by other countries and could lead to increased superpower involvement in regional affairs. b. (U) In addition to these broad concerns, the Chinese have a number of specific international interests. These include: B-3 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED (1) (U) Territorial Integrity. The Chinese are concerned with maintaining their territorial integrity. This includes preventing the secession of Taiwan and T present Chinese leadership. An ambitious development program was announced in early 1978 which focused on major modernization efforts in four key sectors: agriculture, industry, science and technology, and national defense. Designated the Four Modernizations, the original program set unrealistic production goals and has since undergone several major readjustments. Despite this erratic start, the long-term prospects for economic growth are good if China can avoid both a major war and further debilitating political instability. Three specific objectives deriving from China's interest in economic development can be discerned: - Improve the standard of living of the Chinese people. - Lay the foundation for continued growth in the future. - Establish the basis for increased national power. d. (U) The key to the success of the Four Modernizations is the productive potential of the Chinese people. They are the most important resource China possesses, but are no longer easily roused by ideological appeals and mass mobilization campaigns. To counteract the legacy of apathy, cynicism and fear left by the Cultural Revolution and an endless series of lesser ""struggles,"" the present leadership is appealing to the acquisitive nature of the Chinese people. Material rewards now provide the incentive for greater productivity. Meaningful improvement in the standard of living, at the expense of Maoist egalitarianism if necessary, is the rationale for individual commitment to the economic development program. e. (U) The stated goal of the Four Modernizations is to build China into a ""powerful, modern socialist country by the year 2000."" Marginal, short-term improvements are not being sought; the goal is long-term, comprehensive economic development in all sectors. If attained, this objective will ensure progressive improvement in China's standard of living, while establishing the basis for long-range growth in aggregate national power. 5. (U) Political Maturation. In the Chinese system, politics and economics are inseparably linked. China's leaders understand that in order to achieve their economic objectives, politics must develop and mature as well. Three objectives are now evident: - Political stability now and in the future. - Systemic reform of an outdated set of socialist institutions. - Consolidation of power by the present ruling coalition. a. (U) If China is ever to enjoy sustained, significant economic growth, it must first achieve political stability. The Cultural Revolution, a period when politics ran out of control, has been declared a national disaster. Moreover, this assessment is widely shared by the Chinese masses, who have been forced to bear the social and economic costs of political excess. A stable political environment, conducive to balanced development and capable of holding the confidence of the people, is an essential prerequisite for economic development. b. (U) Achieving long-term stability in the Chinese political system will be a difficult task, as the history of the PRC makes abundantly clear. Power abuses and endemic factionalism at the highest levels have long characterized Chinese internal politics. Among the numerous causes of instability are the absence of effective, institutionalized checks and balances; the intense interplay of strong personalities; and an inability to forge a durable ideological consensus within the party leadership. Systemic reform, as currently envisioned, is not likely to eliminate these causes; however, it must at least reduce their disruptive potential. c. (U) The driving imperative behind political reform is the need to spur economic development by raising individual productivity. The dilemma facing the present Chinese leadership is to preserve socialism and the ""fruits of the revolution,"" while at the same time affording wider opportunities for political participation at all levels. Loosening up of the system will be ten tentative at first, but is the necessary political corollary to economic reforms stressing decentralized management and material incentives, A major initiative in this direction has been the introduction of a ""socialist legal system."" Although still in infancy, it attempts to supplant the often arbitrary and inconsistent rule of man with the uniform rule of law. Cadre and worker alike need to know where they stand with respect to the system; they need to be reassured that ""correct"" actions taken today will not be cause tomorrow for criticism or punishment. Another recent legal innovation, the law governing joint business ventures in China, was an important step in expanding foreign investment and assistance in the Four Modernizations.1 However, (U) Another implicit political objective of the present leadership is to hold on to power and consolidate its control wherever possible. This natural preoccupation with survival is particularly salient in Communist regimes, where loss of political power frequently has serious personal consequences as well. The present leadership, usually characterized as ""pragmatic"" or ""moderate,"" appears to have a solid hold on the reins of power. While Deng Xiaoping and his associates are consolidating their control of the party and state bureaucracies, long-term stability is still far from assured.!2 An outright failure of the modernization program, for example, would seriously undermine the moderates' position and could precipitate an internal power struggle, particularly if Deng himself had already departed the scene. 6. (U) International System. a. (U) In addition to vital national interests primarily domestic in nature, China has important interests which derive from its role in the international system. These interests are shared by most sovereign states, and supporting objectives are quite similar as a result. In China's case, a combination of history and contemporary geopolitics adds urgency to these objectives. Three principal objectives, all closely interrelated, can be identified. - Preserve political independence and territorial integrity. - Improve the overall level of national security. - Increase global influence. b. (U) In order to place these in proper perspective, the collective impact of 4000 years of Chinese history must be appreciated. While much of the intellectual impedimenta of Confucian China has been permanently discarded, the existence of a distinct and unique Chinese world view is undeniable. Over the centuries, geographical circumstances and a Sinocentric culture have combined to temper China's contact with other civilizations. Less civilized neighbors were considered barbarians, and though waves of barbarian invaders periodically swept across China, even establishing their own dynasties in some cases, Chinese culture remained preeminent. China's moral and cultural superiority was unquestioned; even the barbarians acknowledged this through the formalities of the tribute system. c. (U) China's self-assurance was seriously undermined in the 19th century by a new wave of ""barbarians."" Using trade as the lever, the Western powers forced their way into China, exposing a corrupt, impotent empire in the process. By the end of the century, China was on the verge of permanent partition at the hands of the imperialists. It barely managed to avoid that fate, and the fall of the Ch'ing dynasty in 1911 failed to produce the strong, unified China many nationalists and reformers had hoped for. In the 1920s, a small Communist movement sprang up, first in the cities and then spreading to the countryside, and China slowly sank once again into civil war. Foreign imperialism, this time from Japan, brought China to its knees in the 1930s. Due in part to resurgent Chinese nationalism, the Communist Party experienced a tremendous increase in membership. Following World War II, the civil war resumed in earnest, but the Nationalists soon proved no match for the Communist forces. onal security -~Increased global influence 4. MILITARY MODERNIZATION -~Enhanced defense capabilities -~Increased global and regional influence or the well-organized, highly-motivated Communist armies. In 1949 the triumphant Communists established the People's Republic, thus ending China's ""century of humiliation."" 15 in Light of recent Chinese history, much of it personally experienced by China's present leaders, preserving political independence and territorial integrity is a priority objective. Moreover, the goals of economic development and political maturation noted earlier ensure that China will never again be subjected to foreign intervention. d. (U) The objective of improving national security closely supports the preservation of political independence and territorial integrity. The Chinese need look no further than the period of foreign intervention to see how the inability to defend the country can quickly lead to political subjugation and economic exploitation. Despite the importance the Chinese Communists have consistently attached to national defense, they find themselves increasingly vulnerable to the growing military capabilities of the superpowers and certain regional military powers as well. Moreover, China has no natural allies and is likely to remain politically isolated to some extent. Viewing China's massive size and huge population, smaller neighbors can never be comfortable if they align too closely with China; on the contrary, they often seek linkages with other large nations to balance Chinese power.16 China's last major attempt at an alliance, the 30 year Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance, fell apart barely 10 years after its inception, although it formally lapsed only in 1980. Because of their relevance to Sino-US relations, China's national security objectives will be examined more fully in a subsequent section. e. (U) China's final objective in international affairs is to increase its global influence. The Communist leadership has a clear conception of China's ""rightful"" place in the world. Although it patronizes Third World countries by capitalizing on China's self-proclaimed status as a developing country, it is clear that the intent is to restore China to the first rank of world powers as quickly as possible. Growth in international power may not manifest itself in a Soviet-style drive for global hegemony or territorial expansion at the expense of regional neighbors. However, the Chinese will inevitably seek to exercise greater influence over global affairs as economic growth and the modernization effort draw it more fully into the international community. This drive for increased political influence will probably have a regional component as well. China will likely seek to reassume its ""natural"" role as the dominant regional power, but will encounter resistance from Japan, the Asian economic superpower, and Vietnam, which is unwilling to accept Chinese hegemony over Southeast Asia. f. (U) Finally, Chinese military capabilities will gradually grow, as a result of defense modernization on the one hand, and as a function of China's quest for political independence and global influence on the other. An increase in China's strategic nuclear capabilities, a key component of global power, should be expected over the next 20 years. Given the numbers and technical sophistication of systems currently deployed by the two superpowers, China cannot catch up to them by 2000, but even moderate growth could substantially enhance China's global and regional influence. 7. (U) Summary. Figure B-1 summarizes the Study Group's view of China's national objectives as they derive from three broad national interests. All objectives are interrelated and, insofar as possible, mutually supporting. 1. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - Improved standard of living - Sustained growth - Increased national power 2. POLITICAL MATURATION - Political stability - Systemic reform - Consolidation of power 3. INTERNATIONAL STATUS - Preservation of independence and territorial integrity - Improved national security - Increased global influence 4. MILITARY MODERNIZATION - Enhanced defense capabilities - Increased global and regional influence —-National security —-Increased global influence. Figure B-1. (U) China's National Interests and Objectives. Section III. (U) China's National Security. 8. (U) Concepts of Security. The Chinese conceptual approach to security is a unique amalgam which draws heavily from a number of diverse sources, ranging from the ancient to the modern, and heavily flavored with Mao Zedong Thought. On the theoretical level it consists of fundamental concepts which shape China's security policies in the broadest sense; on the operational level it shapes strategy and doctrine. Several guiding principles are summarized below. —-Self-reliance is always preferable. —-Maintain a balance of power. —-Play off the ""barbarians"" against each other. —-Mobilize the whole nation. —-Favor the defense over the offense. —-The moral is inherently superior to the material. —-China's inherent strength will ultimately prevail. —-Regime legitimacy is linked to state security. 9. (U) Threat Assessment. In the brief span of 40 years the Communist government of China has fought, at one time or another, with both superpowers and most of the major states on its periphery. In light of Chinese historical experience and the Sinocentric conceptual base upon which security policy is founded, any nation capable of striking China, acting alone or in collusion, must be considered a potential threat to China's security. b. (U) United States. While the PRC desires the active cooperation of the United States in a united front strategy to restrain Soviet expansionism, it takes a cautious view of long-term Sino-US amity. China must consider the possibility that the United States could once again constitute a serious threat to its security, especially if current efforts to establish a long-term relationship fail.2 c. (U) Regional States. China's relations with its many neighbors in the south and west range from open hostility to quasi-alliance. Vietnam enjoys the full support of the Soviet Union and, as the most significant military power in Southeast Asia, poses a limited threat to China's southern border. India, another beneficiary of extensive Soviet aid, is the dominant power in South Asia and China's major competitor for status and influence in that region. Afghanistan is now occupied by Soviet troops, while Pakistan is an old and close friend. Nations such as Burma and Nepal actively seek friendly neutrality. In Northeast Asia, China competes with the Soviets for influence in North Korea, but has no direct relations with South Korea. Japan is the economic giant of Asia and could constitute a serious threat to China's security if it ever acquired military capabilities commensurate with its economic power. Finally, Taiwan will likely remain a source of potential conflict, but does not represent a serious threat to the security of the PRC as long as it does not ally itself with a hostile power or develop an independent nuclear capability. 10. (U) Military Capabilities. a. (U) The military capabilities of the PRC are a direct function of its level of economic development. Production of modern weapons systems requires high technology and a strong industrial base. Since China is lacking in these prerequisites, its present military capabilities are of a relatively low order. They are certainly no match for either superpower and cannot even guarantee success against a determined, well-armed regional opponent such as Vietnam. China also lacks the ability to project significant military power much beyond its own borders. b. (U) The PRC currently devotes 8 to 10 percent of its GNP to national defense, as compared with about 5 percent in the United States and over 12 percent in the Soviet Union. However, the GNPs of the two superpowers are, respectively, over four and one-half and three times greater than China's.22 In order to substantially increase defense spending, Beijing intends to raise GNP; devoting a larger share of the GNP to defense is a key element of China's modernization program. ) The Chinese have launched a major effort to improve their defense technology through the acquisition of Western equipment and technology. In the mid- 1970s, they began to acquire advanced military equipment and technology from Japan, France, and other nations. In the early 1980s, the Chinese began to purchase military technology from the United States. This effort has been quite successful, and the Chinese are now producing a number of advanced weapons systems, including the F-8 fighter, H-6 bomber, and the Type 051 Luhai-class destroyer. However, the Chinese still lag behind the West in many areas, and their weapons systems are often less sophisticated than their Western counterparts. 14.

In the interests of promoting its ""united front against hegemonism"" the PRC has refrained from mentioning this possibility, although as late as 1977 an authoritative foreign policy statement held that ""the two hegemonist powers, the Soviet Union and the United States, are the common enemies of the people of the world.""

The ""Petroleum Faction"" has been more concerned with economic development, especially in the energy sector. The struggle is not waged with the same intensity or in the same manner as during the GPCR, but it is no less real and it is no less a struggle over values. c. (U) The basic values of the Chinese people are difficult to assess. The GPCR, which was a struggle over values, was not a simple matter of pro- or anti-Mao. Rather, it was a complex set of issues that had to do with the nature of the Chinese political system and the relationship of the individual to it. The Chinese people have a strong sense of self-identity, and they are also very nationalistic. They believe in hard work, discipline, and sacrifice. They are also very pragmatic and are willing to accept unpalatable decisions if they believe that these decisions will ultimately benefit China. They are also willing to be patient. They are not, how- ever, willing to be exploited or humiliated. They have a strong sense of fairness and are willing to fight for what they believe is right. They are also a very proud people. They will not accept a subservient role for China in world affairs. They are willing to be patient, but they will not be ignored. They will not accept a foreign power having a military presence on Chinese soil. They are very sensitive to foreign criticism and are quick to respond to what they believe is foreign inter- ference in their internal affairs. They are also very sensitive to their national honor and are quick to respond to what they believe is an affront to that honor. d. (U) The Chinese people are also very nationalistic. They are proud of their history, their culture, and their contributions to civilization. They are also proud of their role in the Third World. They are not anti-foreign, but they are suspicious of foreigners. They are not xenophobic, but they are proud of their own accomplishments. They are not expansionist, but they are determined to regain what they believe is their rightful place in the world community. They are not irrational, but they are determined to be treated as equals by the superpowers. e. (U) The Chinese people are also very pragmatic. They are willing to accept unpalatable decisions if they believe that these decisions will ultimately benefit China. They are willing to be patient. They are not, however, willing to be exploited or humiliated. They have a strong sense of fairness and are willing to fight for what they believe is right. They are also a very proud people. They will not accept a subservient role for China in world affairs. They are willing to be patient, but they will not be ignored. They will not accept a foreign power having a military presence on Chinese soil. They are very sensitive to foreign criticism and are quick to respond to what they believe is foreign interference in their internal affairs. They are also very sensitive to their national honor and are quick to respond to what they believe is an affront to that honor. f. (U) The Chinese people are also very sensitive to their environment. They are aware of the limitations of their resources, and they are willing to make sacrifices to preserve them. They are also very concerned about the quality of their environment. They are aware of the dangers of pollution, and they are willing to make sacrifices to prevent it. They are also very concerned about population growth. They are aware of the dangers of overpopulation, and they are willing to make sacrifices to control it. They are also very concerned about the quality of their food. They are aware of the dangers of contamination, and they are willing to make sacrifices to protect it. They are also very concerned about the quality of their water. They are aware of the dangers of contamination, and they are willing to make sacrifices to protect it. g. (U) The Chinese people are also very concerned about the quality of their health care. They are aware of the dangers of disease, and they are willing to make sacrifices to protect it. They are also very concerned about the quality of their education. They are aware of the importance of education, and they are willing to make sacrifices to improve it. They are also very concerned about the quality of their housing. They are aware of the importance of housing, and they are willing to make sacrifices to improve it. They are also very concerned about the quality of their transportation. They are aware of the importance of transportation, and they are willing to make sacrifices to improve it. h. (U) The Chinese people are also very concerned about the quality of their food.

(U) The Chinese people are very pragmatic when it comes to economics. They are willing to accept unpalatable decisions if they believe that these decisions will ultimately benefit China. They are willing to be patient. They are not, how- ever, willing to be exploited or humiliated. They have a strong sense of fairness and are willing to fight for what they believe is right. They are also a very proud people. They will not accept a subservient role for China in world affairs. They are willing to be patient, but they will not be ignored. They will not accept a foreign power having a military presence on Chinese soil. They are very sensitive to foreign criticism and are quick to respond to what they believe is foreign inter- ference in their internal affairs. They are also very sensitive to their national honor and are quick to respond to what they believe is an affront to that honor. b. (U) The Chinese people are also very nationalistic. They are proud of their history, their culture, and their contributions to civilization. They are also proud of their role in the Third World. They are not anti-foreign, but they are suspicious of foreigners. They are not xenophobic, but they are proud of their own accomplishments. They are not expansionist, but they are determined to regain what they believe is their rightful place in the world community. services. The petroleum faction falls in between but emphasizes technical expertise. While personal ambition, career considerations and the like certainly influence individual loyalties, it is also important to understand that different ideological views underlie specific policy preferences and that ideology is and is likely to remain an important force in Chinese politics. c. (U) The debate over ""de-Maoification"" is only the most obvious example of this situation. To revise the place of Mao in Chinese history is to raise serious questions about the proper role of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It is to cast doubt upon the ideological basis for a significant period of recent Chinese history and therefore cuts to the very basis of Chinese society. d. (U) While most observers generally agree that supporters of the so-called pragmatic faction led by Deng Xiaoping tend to dominate the political landscape, they also agree that significant failure of any important element of the Deng program will again render him vulnerable to the kind of ideological attacks he suffered in 1976. This illustrates the saliency of ideology in China today and motivates outside observers to conclude that the lack of ideological or value consensus could have an important impact on US-China relations generally and on the security dimension of the relationship in particular. 2. (U) Citizen Expectations. a. (U) A second consequence of the GPCR that grows out of the first and could also have important consequences for US-China relations is that the period 1966-76 engendered a marked increase in the level of citizen political and economic expectations. During the Cultural Revolution, regular channels of party, government, and even for a time PLA authority were circumvented as Red Guard groups and their supporters sought to achieve their goals. An important result of the temporary eclipse of social institutions was that many Chinese, especially young people in urban areas, gained a new sense of their ability to achieve goals by independent political action. The brief existence of Democracy Wall, reports of sabotage, strikes, demonstrations, and the like all support the assertion that, generally speaking, the experience of the Cultural Revolution has made the Chinese less likely than before to accept policy judgments they perceive to adversely affect their interests; furthermore, they are more likely, despite government control efforts, to engage in direct political action to achieve their desires. b. (U) Indeed, it can be argued that much of Deng's present support is derived from the pragmatists' ability to respond to citizen demand in positive ways. For example, 1979 saw across-the-board wage increases in China's factories. Later, the price of rice and other basic foodstuffs paid to the peasant was increased. Later still, urban dwellers received a monthly wage-income supplement to cover the rise in the cost of living. Simultaneously, with the rise in income, industrial production began to emphasize consumer goods. All of these measures raised mass economic expectations and also helped to produce a greater sense of political efficacy among the Chinese people. The current leadership must now continue to fulfill these expectations or at least prevent a net decline in living standards if it is to retain citizen support. Failure to do so will again raise the specter of vulnerability, which when tied to ideological problems, could have very serious consequences for US-China relations. 3. (U) Institutional Change. a. (U) China today is also characterized by an institutional fragility that is in part a result of the Cultural Revolution but which is perhaps more the product of pressures for institutional change that have emerged since 1977. Between 1966 and 1970, CCP membership increased from approximately 17 million to 35 million. (Present membership is about 38 million.) b. (U) Confidence has also been shaken by efforts to separate party from government. Prior to the GPCR party decisions were synonymous with government policy. But new directives and resignations (including Deng's as Senior Vice Premier of the State (government) Council) signaled a different relationship. The leadership has yet to offer an unambiguous clarification of the interface between the government and party bureaucracies with the result that bureaucrats tend to be hesitant about making decisions. c. (U) Since 1977 the power to make basic management, fiscal, investment and contractual decisions, including those with foreign concerns, has devolved more than ever before to the provinces and even to local government organs and industrial enterprises. Such policies fly in the face of previous modes. The result has been a perceived bureaucratic lag as local and provincial officials first hesitated to use their new powers and then used them in ways that some central leaders felt to be excessive. The present leadership continues to try to articulate an acceptable formulation but, in the meantime, tensions remain. d. (U) Nor has the People's Liberation Army been immune from similar pressures. For historical and ideological reasons the PLA has traditionally been regarded as the final repository of true Chinese Communist values. Competition to join the ranks was keen; acceptance guaranteed not only high prestige but useful training and a bright future. In 1967, however, the PLA intervened in the Cultural Revolution to bring order to a chaotic situation. In doing so the PLA alienated large numbers of previously admiring Red Guards who were now on the opposite side. Nevertheless, PLA prestige increased as its officers came to dominate central and provincial decision-making councils. Decline began in 1971 when Lin Biao became implicated in a coup attempt and was accelerated as his supporters were slowly but inexorably purged. PLA leaders are said to resent the decrease in the standing of the armed forces. e. (U) Worries about institutional power are further reinforced by ideological concerns. Since 1934-35, the army has been very closely identified with Mao. Older PLA leaders therefore are extremely wary of attempts to reinterpret or revise his role in Chinese history. Apparently there is real concern that China may slip its ideological moorings and this feeling prevents full PLA support for the present leadership. f. (U) A final source of institutional fragility is seen in a current move towards reductions in forces in the PLA, and a new emphasis on youth and technical expertise at the expense of experience and political reliability. The present leadership seems committed to the principle that a successful modernization program requires innovative talent, technical proficiency, and reward in proportion to achievement. Such practices contradict an important element of China's ancient cultural tradition as well as previously established practice. Accordingly, the PLA leadership has encountered considerable difficulty in organizing itself for implementing the new personnel policies. It has As also encountered not a little resistance from older officers and noncommissioned officers, as well as more recent recruits whose peasant origins denied them opportunity to acquire the levels of education now deemed essential. Therefore, the army, which would bear major responsibility as US-Chinese security relations continue to evolve, is subject to the same fragility as are institutions of party and government. It seems clear that the present state of China's most important institutions could have direct impact upon the course of PRC relations with the United States, and especially upon the security dimension of the relationship. 4. (U) Competition for Limited Resources. a. (U) In the last six months the PRC has announced a reduction in the national budget. The defense budget has not been spared. Contractual commitments with Japan and other countries have been cancelled and the leadership admits to an inflation rate of 5 to 7 percent. These actions reveal that China's economic base is weaker than anyone had realized and that modernization priorities are once again being reassessed. A close review of China's economic scene lies beyond the scope of the present study. Nonetheless, even the outline presented here suggests that China lacks the economic and technical resources to support the modernization program even as revised in 1979-80. b. (U) China's leaders are thus forced, at a time of social change, to utilize a burdened and evolving institutional matrix to allocate a resource base that may well be insufficient to support even the relatively limited modernization goals now projected. Any ""mistake"" in Deng Xiaoping's political calculus could well spark a series of reactions based upon value preferences, unfulfilled expectations, and inadequate institutional support that would cause severe stress and which might well result in the reduction in the power of the groups who from the US point of view would best respond to US interests. Section II. (U) China's Domestic Scene and the Chinese Perception of the Relationship with the United States. 5. (U) Defining the Relationship. a. (U) The factors analyzed above should not be viewed as determinants of Chinese actions. Nor should they be utilized in support of efforts to denigrate the worth of US-China security cooperation. Rather, there are certain aspects of China's domestic scene that seriously constrain and limit Chinese options. The factors noted above influence China's leaders to define their relationship with the United States in a particular way and to articulate a particular strategy for achieving their goals. b. (U) The relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of China has always had a security dimension. Strategic considerations in part prompted Henry Kissinger's first visit to Beijing in July 1971 and the search for global equilibrium has been a durable feature of joint discussions ever since. Since normalization, events indicate that, despite opposition and with some reservation, the present Chinese leadership has made a political decision to enter into some sort of security relationship with the United States. In this rather limited sense, the question of security relations with the United States is not presently a real issue for political debate, although it could become so. c. (U) In any case, political, social, and economic factors, of the type noted above, as well as longer-range strategic perceptions, combine to influence China's leaders to define the relationship with the United States in the broadest possible terms. The Chinese see relations with the United States as having economic, cultural, technical, and educational dimensions, as well as a security dimension. Indeed, considering the relatively low priority assigned to defense modernization, it can be argued that the Chinese, in one sense, feel that the overtly security-oriented dimension, although special, is of lesser importance compared to other aspects of the relationship. UNCLASSIFIED useful useful Different dimensions. Present levels of economic, cultural, technical, and security relations have caused problems for their pragmatist supporters. Considerable political maneuvering was required to begin even the modest programs presently in place and factional conflict continues to exist. However, given the current position of the pragmatic group, it is reasonable to assert that security cooperation through Option 2 could be achieved without untoward impact on the political/social systems. b. (UV) Indeed, 'all else being equal, and assuming firm consolidation of pragmatist control, increased assistance on a broad spectrum of defense, economic, technical, and educational problems would probably help the regime to consolidate its control even more. China's upwardly mobile urban population would benefit most from such programs and the already significant gap between urban, suburban, and rural areas would probably increase. While this would cause some additional social frictions, the regime could probably manage them without excessive difficulty. 10. (U) Risks of High Level Security Cooperation. With respect to security cooperation defined more narrowly, the issue is less clear. If the analysis of China's current political/social/economic scene presented above is accurate, at level 3 cooperation pressure to divert major amounts of resources to the defense sector would require a reversal of the present policy of reduced defense expenditures. This would pose a considerable political burden for Deng and the pragmatists. More important, given China's economic problems, the inevitable corresponding reductions in other sectors would probably cause widespread social discontent which would be utilized by Deng's opponents as ammunition for new and more strident attacks. Any attempt to increase security cooperation beyond present levels at this time might produce the additional instability about which Deng is so concerned. The situation with respect to the PLA is similar in principle. To move to cooperation even at Option 3 of the matrix, much less 4, will require new doctrine and new skills, the implementation of which by definition will produce a ""different"" army. If such moves are made at the present time, they will be resisted by large segments of all ranks of the PLA. This resistance will probably also heighten political instability and thereby pose additional problems for that segment of the leadership whose views are most in accord with US interests. 11. (U) Reflections on China and the United States. It has been argued that China's domestic political, social, and economic environment acutely influence the pace, not only of security relations, but of economic, technical, and cultural relations as well. This means that within acceptable limits, the United States must in a sense march to the beat of China's drum if it is to assist in developing a stable, strong, and modern partner that will assist it to fulfill its interests. The peculiar characteristics of China's present conditions make it difficult to predict or influence the outcome of any initiative. Accordingly, the United States must be very sensitive to these conditions so that initiatives can be timed and presented to best effect. Similarly, as the United States continues to structure its relationship with China it may have to confront the real possibility that in the shorter term, to emphasize the security dimension ultimately works to its disadvantage.

I turned 50 this year. It is impacting my ability yo exercise, so thought it was time to investigate. I just had a cardiac catheterization test. No blockages were discovered. However, they were not able to complete the procedure through wrist because my right side artery does not connect directly to the heart. It connects to the left side artery, which then goes to the heart or aortic arch. Stress test results showed abnormalities at high heart rate (both in EKG and echo). Are there any health issues related to the abnormal artery connection? Other than just being out of shape, are there any other medical issues to consider or investigate? I am currently on regular Amlodipine and Losartan for high BP. Hi. First, you need to be started on medicines called as diuretics like Torsemide 10 mg once a day in the morning and also Amlodipine should be replaced with Beta blockers like Metoprolol XR 25 mg once a day. Both drugs will help you in relief of symptoms and also other benefits. So, you discuss with your local doctor regarding this. The symptoms occur due to pulmonary congestion. Both hypertension and your anomaly have a role in it. The next important decision will be of surgery to correct the abnormal connection. I need to know the details of the reports to know the exact type of anomaly and course of the artery. You can upload your angiography report. It is being the rare condition, the decision is not very straight forward, and data is inconclusive regarding the preferred modalities. In some conditions, patients are offered surgical management while in others patients are kept on drugs. It also depends on the opinion and willingness to undergo such major surgery. I think, you should be put on the drugs which I mentioned above and look for the response.

Our estimates regarding the votes of commissioners Brown, Wood, and Lynch did play out, as well as the CPUC's failure to pursue retroactivity for DA agreements. The CPUC's move to carry forward the DA vote is not a complete surprise, as President Lynch has historically presided independently from pressure by Governor Davis. Dismayed that the California Legislature was unable to offer resolution, Lynch and other commissioners felt obligated to provide direction and move the state forward in securing the State's economic base. Note that DA agreements signed within the last three months may still be held under review by the CPUC, though no official word has yet been issued. The CPUC also passed two measures that were preventing the progress of California's $12.5B bond sale. There is still no clear date as to when these bonds will be issued. SoCal/PG&E Bankruptcies Mirant and Reliant (with Mirant leading the push) are reported have approached several entities as potential third parties for a creditors committee to take SCE into involuntary bankruptcy. The City of Long Beach has been approached, but we believe Long Beach will use its leverage as a potential third party creditor to negotiate an independent deal with SoCal for payment of debt. Orange County, Coram, and San Gorgonio Farms are also suspected to have been asked to sign the petition. Contrary to rumor, it is not confirmed that Dynegy is considering joining Mirant and Reliant. However, such a move by Dynegy ""would be logical"" and note that Dynegy funded, with Mirant and Reliant, recent polling research examining the public opinion effects of such a move. Dynegy is reportedly discussing the possibility. We are attempting to determine SoCal's response to the PG&E filing, the Mirant-Reliant effort, and to try to pulse the likelihood and timing of a voluntary bankruptcy petition. Per earlier media reports, PG&E just announced it is filing three months early of a reorganization plan with the court. We believe that the utility was motivated, in part, by its desire to scuttle any chance of a state MOU with SoCal in the third special session of the Legislature. The reactions of key lawmakers (Burton, Bowen, Hertzberg, Keeley), and of course the Governor, will be important to watch. The key elements of PG&E's plan include: Assumes all responsibility for debt. No state aid requested. The utility will be split into two, with a distribution company remaining under CPUC regulatory authority and the native generation spun off into a new company free of CPUC oversight but regulated by FERC. PG&E commits to provide 100% of its native generation to the State of California for 10 years at cost. Cost of power includes both cost of generation (currently about 3.5 cents per kw/h) and cost of financing (estimated by our sources at 1.5 cents per kw/h). All debt will be paid, with 90% of QF debt paid immediately and the remainder over a longer term. Large generators will be ""substantially"" paid immediately and be asked to carry remaining debt over a longer term.",Public "es is intended to prepare the public for the possibility of a long period of martial law.

Thanks,",Public "National Intelligence Bulletin December 11, 1975 CHINA-ANGOLA “ Peking's policy toward Angola continues to reflect Chinese efforts to capitalize on Moscow's heavy-handed support for the Popular Movement. Publicly, the Chinese are maintaining a position of strict neutrality, and there is no evidence that any significant new amounts of Chinese military assistance are reaching the National Front or National Union. The South Africans reported that a Chinese vessel transferred cargo to trawlers off the Angolan coast nearly a month ago, indicating that Peking was making good on an earlier promise to provide some arms to the National Union. No similar deliveries have been reported since. The Chinese may also have given tacit approval to Zairian President Mobutu to divert to northern Angola small amounts of military equipment provided to Zaire under China's formal military assistance program—so long as Peking is left with a plausible case for denying direct involvement in Angola. As long as other countries maintain their current levels of assistance to the National Front and the National Union, China can be expected to maintain a low profile with its former clients, endorse the Organization of African Unity's call for neutrality toward Angola, and score propaganda points at Moscow's expense. Peking is clearly concerned, however, that it may not be able to sustain this approach. Any significant reduction in support for the National Front and National Union by other countries, for example, would present the Chinese with difficult decisions. Mobutu would almost certainly want to divert to Angola large amounts of the Chinese assistance to his country to make up for the loss of other sources, and such increased Chinese involvement would not go undetected for long. Peking would be forced either to give Mobutu free rein and risk major damage to its international image or to maintain restrictions on the use of Chinese equipment and chance not only a major strain in Sino-Zairian relations but also a default to the Soviets in the rivalry for influence in Angola. The prospect of a reversal of the Organization of African Unity's position on Angola or an agreement among its members to go their separate ways on the recognition issue would be equally unsettling to the Chinese. This would almost certainly lead to much wider African and Third World recognition for the Popular Movement and leave Peking on the wrong side of the fence. Such valued friends as Tanzania, Mozambique, Romania, and Yugoslavia have steadily followed Moscow's lead in formally recognizing the Popular Movement. The Movement, for its part, has carefully avoided closing the door on Peking. A senior official of the Movement has specifically stated that his group has resisted Soviet pressures to side with Moscow in the ideological dispute with China. There are no signs, however, that Peking is seriously considering switching its political position. On the contrary, the expanded Soviet and Cuban role can only have negative consequences for China's influence in the region.",Restricted "My husband was diagnosed with polysistic kidney disease 3 yrs ago...I hear there is no cure for this...just control blood pressure which he does with medication.....his kidney function is 30..he is 49 yrs. old why cant they offer him a transplant.

The US-owned, Liberian-flag tanker Sungari"" (275,000 tons) Was hit at anchor 8 miles off Kuwait's al-Ahmadi oil terminal at 5:00 a.m. local time October 15, by an Iranian Silkworm missile. Witnesses report the missile exploded inside the vessel, setting it afire from stem to stern. The fire was extinguished within four hours. Two crewmen are missing. The missile left a 4m x 3m hole in the ship's side. The ""Sungari"" was partially loaded with oil. Four reflagged US tankers were nearby, the closest two miles away. No US Navy warships were in the vicinity. Three of the tankers have been moved farther south, and the fourth will be moved when it finishes loading. As in three earlier Silkworm attacks on Kuwaiti territory early in September, this missile was most likely fired at near its extreme range from a site on the occupied al-Faw peninsula. A missile fired September 4 passed over the al-Ahmadi anchorage, but on that occasion apparently did not acquire a ship on its terminal guidance radar. In recent days, Iraqi B6éD Badger-copy bombers have fired air-launched Silkworms at a number of Iranian tankers. Fragmentary information indicates that these also caused damage and large fires exceeding the usual results obtained by Iraq's Exocet missiles or Iran's ship-launched Seakiller missiles in typical ""Tanker War"" attacks.

Dam, net ink SUBJECT: Assassination of Benigno Aquino 1% the Philippines Forty-eight hours after the assassination of Philippine opposition leader Aquino, President Marcos remains firmly in control. Manila and the rest of the country are calm, but rumors abound. Marcos, flanked by his Cabinet, showed himself at the helm during a televised press conference Monday evening. He took the occasion to deny rumors of governmental disarray and his own incapacitation, and defended Mrs. Marcos against accusations of involvement in Aquino's death. The Philippine Government must now move quickly to initiate a thorough and unbiased investigation into the circumstances surrounding the assassination. Our Ambassador has been quietly encouraging the Prime Minister and other Philippine officials to consider appointing a panel of distinguished citizens who will be accepted by the opposition and general public as fair and impartial to review the evidence and render a decision. Thus far, our counsel has met with a favorable but non-committal response. Statements by Philippine opposition leaders have fueled rampant speculation as to the motives and implications of Aquino's assassination. There appears to be a widely held view that individuals connected to the Marcos Government or security apparatus may be responsible. Looking ahead to the National Assembly elections scheduled for May, 1984, some opposition leaders have suggested boycotting the elections and disbanding opposition political parties on the grounds that the Aquino killing totally undermined the Government's credibility. Another element of uncertainty is the country's difficult short-term liquidity problem. Of immediate concern is the large stock of short-term debt -- between $9 and $13 billion -- which must be refinanced on an ongoing basis, and the need to maintain the confidence of the large private banks and the International Monetary Fund. So far, fallout from the Aquino assassination has not impacted on the country's financial situation. Pervading all discussion of the Philippines’ political and economic situation is speculation on the state of President Marcos' health. His appearance on television yesterday only partly laid to rest rumors about the President's health. The succession question remains foremost in everyone's mind, however can be expected to grow in intensity in the coming days. The Aquino funeral will be held on Sunday. Consideration was given to sending a U.S. official delegation but was rejected on the grounds that protocol does not call for one and because official foreign representation is not expected. However, our Ambassador will represent the USG at the funeral. We will monitor the security situation there closely and keep you informed. Drafted by: EA!

It would have been really good if you had mentioned the details of the MRI reports as we could have understood something from it. If you have any issue with the intervertebral disc and nerve entrapment. Now since you are mentioning about pain in the hip, thigh, leg and back, I would like to know if the pain symptom is radiating in nature? Also how is the back pain? Is the nature of the pain sharp shooting or dull aching. If dull aching then it will be related to muscle but if sharpshooting than it will be for nerve. Now coming to an analysis of you, you mentioned your age is 38 so we can look for some Degenerative changes in the lumbar spine. Due to which there might be changes of back pain and nerve getting trapped. for this I will recommend you to try out the exercise for the core, back and lower limbs on both sides. It is mandatory to do exercise in any back pains or radiating pains as due to pain there is a muscle weakness which gets build up over a period of time and once the muscles are weak there is instability of the spinal column. I wish you check for your blood glucose levels along with uric acid too so we can have a differential diagnosis made to rule out the possibility because. If you can still mention in detail about the MRI it will be really kind of you. In my clinical practice of over 12 years, many back cases associated with leg pain are doing well with conservative management. Like - exercise, physical therapy and yoga. Outcome score is almost as desired to be. Please start the exercise and you will get a difference in the overall physical well being. Hope I have answered your query.

He also urged for an immediate announcement of the release of these individuals, which would have a positive effect on bilateral relations. He noted that the U.S. had not yet received any response to the questions raised by A/S Schifter during his visit to Beijing, and that the lack of response would undercut the administration's argument that progress was being made in the human rights dialogue with China. Mr. Kimmitt also expressed concern about religious freedom in China, citing reports of restrictions on legitimate religious activity and the arrest of Catholic priests and laymen.

VFM LIU REPLIED THAT, GIVEN THE TWO COUNTRIES' DIFFERENT SYSTEMS AND VALUES, IT IS INEVITABLE THAT CHINA AND THE U.S. WOULD HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS ON HUMAN RIGHTS. LIU ASSERTED THAT THERE HAD BEEN MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN HUMAN RIGHTS CONDITIONS INSIDE CHINA IN THE 49 YEARS SINCE LIBERATION. THE PRC REGARDED THE RIGHT OF SURVIVAL AS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF HUMAN RIGHTS; THE RIGHT OF NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE AS THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT; AND THE RIGHT TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AS THE THIRD. LIU SAID THAT SINCE 1949, THE PRC HAD REVERSED THE PREVIOUS SITUATION WHERE THE CHINESE PEOPLE HAD NOT ENOUGH TO EAT OR WEAR.

LIU STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE RELATIVES OF ANY CHINESE LIVING IN THE U.S. GOING THERE TO VISIT.

I hope that you're not suffering from any underlying cause as you've not mentioned (such as Diabetes).

I would like to take an ipill today as I do not want to be pregnant..Is it safe for me to take it ? I am 31 years old 5 feet 2 inches and weighing around 65 kgs HiCholestasis effect is due to the hormone estrogen. That is why your doctor rightly advised against using birth control tablets. When she said this she was talking with reference to birth control pills containing both estrogen and progesterone.The I PILL contains progesterone only. So you can use I PILL without worrying about cholestasis. Moreover the progesterone is washed off from your body in few days.If you wish to postpone pregnancy I advise you to discuss with your doctor and use regular contraception.I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.,Confidential "Mapp machine Hey Don, I need a little bit of info.

Teng: I think that would be a good idea. Kissinger: And if you have any other suggestions, please feel free to let me know. Teng: We will discuss it with you later. Kissinger: Yes, we can discuss it later. I just wanted to mention it now so that we can plan ahead. Teng: Yes, we can discuss it later. e is to make it more difficult for us to protect our allies and to undermine the alliance system. Teng: I think that is the same as your interpretation. Kissinger: I am glad we agree on that. What we want to do is to discuss this with you because we think this is a matter of some importance and we would like to know what you think about it. Teng: We are also very interested in this matter. We would like to hear more about your thoughts and concerns on this proposal. We are also concerned about the implications for our own security and for the stability of the region. We will consider this matter carefully and discuss it with you further. countries. And we have always stated that our purpose is not to create a bloc directed against China. We have never tried to hide this from you. And we have always tried to avoid formulations which would imply such a bloc. Our policy is directed against the Soviet Union and not against China. We have never tried to deceive you. Teng: We have never said that you have deceived us. We have only said that the Soviet Union has this intention. Kissinger: We have always tried to avoid formulations that would imply such a bloc. Teng: We have never said that you are creating a bloc. We have only said that the Soviet Union has this intention. Kissinger: We have always tried to avoid formulations that would imply such a bloc. Teng: We have never said that you are creating a bloc. We have only said that the Soviet Union has this intention. Kissinger: You have said that we are trying to create a bloc directed against China. Teng: No, we have only said that the Soviet Union has this intention. And we believe that you are not willing to create such a bloc. Kissinger: It is certain that we are not trying to create such a bloc. We have always tried to avoid formulations which would imply such a bloc. TOP SECRET /NODIS/XGDS Teng: But even if they were so, even if they succeeded, what role would those treaties play? They would not be able to play much of a role. And if they signed such agreements, they would still be waving their baton, and if they don't sign they would still have nuclear weapons. As for our nuclear weapons, as Chairman Mao says, they are only so much (gesturing with fingers). Kissinger: We have never discussed nuclear weapons with you from our side. Teng: That is right. Kissinger: We inform you of Soviet overtures not because you should pay attention but because if they should ever tell you, you will know what is happening. And also we have an understanding with you not to do anything with the Soviet Union without informing you. And so we inform you of things with them whether you attach significance to them or not. And we are not asking you to do anything about it. There is one other matter that came up in Vladivostok that I wanted to mention to you. The Soviet proposed to us to have consultations on Japanese-Chinese relations and to prevent them from becoming too close. We have refused this, and we have told the Japanese in a general way about this, and have told the Japanese about our refusal. Teng: So from this too we can see the aims of the Soviet Union. You know, their Foreign Minister, Mr. Gromyko, has a characteristic of which we were told by Khrushchev in 1957 when Chairman Mao went to Moscow. TOP SECRET/NODIS/XGDS Khrushchev introduced Gromyko to us, and he told us that Gromyko had a lot of things in his pocket. And Khrushchev told us that this fellow Gromyko could produce this formula today, and tomorrow, and he has so many things he can produce that that is his major trait - that was Khrushchev's introduction of Gromyko. And it seems that Brezhnev has learned that trait from Gromyko and has a lot of things in his pocket too. As for our dealings with the Soviet Union, we do not rely on our nuclear weapons. And we don't have very much skill other than digging tunnels and having rifles. As for your signing such agreements, we do not attach such great significance to them. Maybe we won't even comment. Kissinger: That is entirely up to you. The agreements we sign have nothing to do with China except the one on preventing nuclear war which to us gives us legal possibilities. But the agreement, or the tentative one in Vladivostok, we consider very favorable in the overall strategic balance. It is up to you if you comment or not. It has nothing to do with the People's Republic of China. Teng: I would like to raise a question. We have heard the Doctor say that the recent meeting and the recent signing of such an agreement was a great breakthrough. Was it really so? To be more specific - how reliable can it be - how reliable are the prospects for ten years of detente and a cease of competition in the military field? Kissinger: First of all, you have to understand that we have to fight on many fronts. And our domestic strategy is to isolate our left, if that is a proper thing to say in the People's Republic. Teng: We like those on the right! Kissinger: The ones on the right have no choice but to be with us anyway. The ones on the right are no problem with us. Teng: Isn't Mr. Heath of Great Britain a well-known man on the right? Kissinger: Oh, yes. Teng: And wasn't Mr. Adenaver of your former fatherland a well-known man of the right? And in France, De Gaulle, Pompidou and Giscard, Tanaka, and Ohira are famous men on the right. We like this kind, comparatively speaking. Kissinger: We send our leftists to Peking. Teng: But they have a strong air force. Kissinger: Yes, but their navy is not as strong as ours. Teng: But they are building it. Kissinger: Yes, they are building it, but we still have a strategic advantage in this area. Teng: I think your navy is stronger than theirs. Kissinger: Yes, it is. Teng: But they are building their navy. Kissinger: Yes, they are, but we still have a strategic advantage in this area. The treaty says: we can have 1, 320 missiles. We have 656 on submarines. We have 1, 054 on land. We have 300 F-111s. We have 435 B-52s. This is less than 2, 500 missiles. The Soviets have 1, 600 missiles and 2, 000 bombers. We are allowed 2, 500 missiles. We are not violating the treaty. Teng: But the Soviets are very worried. Kissinger: The Soviets are worried because they cannot match our technology. For example, the new Trident submarine is much quieter than their submarines and carries more missiles. They are worried because we have the cruise missile which is an extremely accurate missile, which can be fired from a submarine. We have 100 of them on submarines. The Soviets have nothing that can match it. They are worried because we have the B-1 bomber. They are worried because we have the F-15 fighter plane. They are worried because we have the Pershing missile which can strike any target in the Soviet Union from Western Europe. TOP SECRET /SENSITIVE/XGDS Teng: But they have increased their numbers. Kissinger: Yes, they have increased their numbers, but our technology and capabilities are still far superior to theirs. I was saying was this: At present if the Soviet Union should launch an attack with conventional weapons.

(liberation of Taiwan; post-liberation 33. plans) The PRC expects no basic changes in US policy toward China no matter who wins the election. Taiwan will remain a stumbling block toward normalization, and the PRC will continue to insist that the US completely abandon the policy of defense of Taiwan. The PRC is formulating plans for governing Taiwan, and: 1) will expel all foreign technicians and managers, but not until self-reliance is achieved; 2) all Kuomintang officials will be removed from government; 3) will counter any Soviet attempt to interfere with liberation by moving against the Soviets in the Sino-Soviet border area. 315/09755 A senior diplomatic official abroad who, in this case, may have intended his remarks to reach the US government. (normalization/Taiwan) The PRC would use military force without restraint should Taiwan take ""some precipitous action.""

The Shah's foreign policy is characterized by a strong sense of national pride and a desire to see Iran regain its former status as a major regional power. He is particularly sensitive to any perceived slight or insult to Iran's sovereignty and independence. This sensitivity is a major factor in his foreign policy decisions and in his relations with other states. At the same time, he is keenly aware of Iran's limitations and knows that it is not yet a major power. He is realistic about what Iran can and cannot do. The Shah has a deep interest in the United States and is an admirer of our country and its institutions. He is convinced that the United States is the only power that can provide the protection Iran needs against Soviet aggression. He is also convinced that the United States has a vital interest in the security of the Persian Gulf and that we need Iran as a strong regional ally. He is committed to the special relationship with the United States which he sees as the key to his country's security and prosperity. The Shah is a strong and determined leader who has a clear idea of what he wants for his country. He is not averse to taking risks and has a strong sense of his own destiny. He is also a very shrewd and able politician who knows how to get his way. He is a man of action and does not like to be kept waiting or to have his time wasted. SECRET SECRET -4- III. BACKGROUND The Shah's Visit The Shah's visit to Washington has been the subject of intense speculation in the Iranian and international press. The Shah has been quoted as saying that he is coming to Washington to get assurances and guarantees from the United States about its commitment to Iran's security, and to discuss arms sales, oil prices, and other matters of mutual interest. The Shah has also been quoted as saying that he is concerned about the U.S. commitment to the Persian Gulf and the Middle East and about the security of the Indian Ocean basin. The Shah's visit is being portrayed in Iran as a major event in which the Shah will seek to obtain firm commitments from the United States on a wide range of issues. The Shah's visit is taking place at a time when the United States is facing a number of problems in the Middle East, Southern Africa, and in its relations with the Soviet Union. The Shah's visit will provide an opportunity to discuss with him the major issues on our foreign policy agenda. It will also enable him to hear your views about these issues.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE ACTION na . S/S \ November 8, 1977 SECRET EXDIS EXPEDIT TO: The Secretary THRU: Mr. Habib FROM: NEA - Alfred L. Atherton, Jr. {V/. SUBJECT: Memorandum to the President for the Visit of the Shah I have attached a memorandum from you to the President which lists ours and the Shah's principal objectives and provides pertinent background material and suggested approaches to a number of issues which will arise. Recommendation: That you sign the attached memorandum for the President. Attachment: Memorandum for the President on the Visit of the Shah and Shahbanou Drafted:NEA/IRN:CWNads : bdf eve. 23014:11/7/77 SECRET THE SECRETARY OF STATE WASHINGTON SECRET EXDIS MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: Cyrus Vance SUBJECT: Visit of the Shah and Shahbanou, November 15-16 I. OBJECTIVES Your objectives in meeting the Shah will be: -- to establish a close personal relationship and to persuade him of your commitment to a continuation of the special relationship--building a solid foundation to withstand the frustrations which are likely to arise on such matters as military sales and oil prices; -- to impress upon the Shah the necessity not to increase oil prices within the next year; -- to discuss with him frankly the future of our military supply relationship, against the background of our current arms restraint policy and Congressional attitudes; what we seek is a dialogue in which the Shah can be brought to accept the fact that our open- ended supply policy of the past is no longer feasible without shaking his confidence in the basic relationship; -- to inform the Shah how we propose to deal with his request for an additional 140 F-16s; -- to discuss, as necessary, the proposed nuclear bilateral agreement; -- to have wide-ranging exchanges on such matters of mutual interest as the situation in the SECRET GDS SECRET -2- Middle th us in the effort to keep the Gulf open. and does not anticipate a direct Soviet attack on Iran as long as the West remains strong and alert to Soviet aims. Not having to be concerned with an opposition or recalcitrant legislature, he tends to look well into the future and to assess current events against broad historical trends. He sees the Soviet Union as having an inexorable impulse to expand its influence into areas of opportunity and, in the longer run, aspiring either to control directly the oil wealth of the Persian Gulf or to be able to deny it to others. He regards Soviet influence in Afghanistan and India to the east and Iraq and Syria to the west as tightening a ""pincers"" around Iran--part of a long-range Soviet plan to reach out to the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean beyond. Soviet actions in the Horn of Africa and the use of Cuban surrogates in Africa are cited by him as integral elements of the same Soviet dynamic thrust for increased positions of strength along the vital sea lanes--and a threat to the movement of Iran's oil. The Shah's concept of Iranian influence and power dovetails with this larger world view as well as with more immediate Iranian national interests. Since 1971, Iran has moved adroitly to use its oil and financial resources and the Shah's prestige to become a significant force in the Middle East and South Asia. To the east he has extended aid to Afghanistan to give that country some alternative to reliance on the Soviet Union and has settled the historic quarrel over division SECRET SECRET -4- of the Helmand River waters. He has extended substantial assistance to Pakistan and established closer relations with India. The Shah has used his influence to help ease tensions between India and Pakistan and between Pakistan and Afghanistan. To the west, he has resolved long-standing Iran-Iraq tensions, provided assistance to Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, and, at the same time, maintained the informal excellent relationship with Israel--including the shipment of oil. Additionally, he has expanded his activities in tandem with us to key parts of Africa. Meanwhile, Iran maintains good rela- tions with the People's Republic of China and Japan and with the countries of Western and Eastern Europe. His Personality The Shah tends to be stiff and formal and does not easily unbend his imperial demeanor--very much the serious head of state who is quick to sense slight, condescension or over-familiarity. For the last 15-20 years, after a lengthy period of uncertainty, indecision and personal--as well as political--insecurity, he has rigorously applied himself to ruling his country. He is articulate in presenting his views and is extraordinarily well informed on such diverse fields as nuclear energy, oil, arms, population pressures, world food needs, etc. At the same time, his air of self-confidence-- some would say arrogance--covers a continuing sense of insecurity which is in part simply a Persian cultural trait, but also derives from the complexities of ruling his country and his essentially gloomy view of the future of mankind. U.S.-Iran Relations The Past We have developed over three decades, especially in the last ten years, a particularly close and complex relationship with Iran based on what has been a solid bipartisan national consensus. [Iran's strategic SECRET SECRET —5- geographic position, including its position on the Straits of Hormuz (through which passes about 60 percent of international trade in oil), the anti-communist nature of its leadership, and the Shah's willingness to project his power and influence in the region in ways generally use- ful to us have highlighted the country's importance to us. In the first two decades after World War II, Iran joined CENTO (originally the Baghdad Pact), permitted vital U.S. electronic intelligence facilities to operate from Iranian territory, provided us access to Iranian airspace and military facilities, assured a stable source of petroleum for Israel, and coordinated with us in the effort to keep the Gulf open. The United States has a significant influence on such regional matters as Afghan-Pakistan-India problems. In return, Iran relied on the U.S. deterrent umbrella for its deepest security concerns, and received from us substantial economic and military assistance which was vital to the Shah both internally and externally. In 1959 we signed an agreement to cooperate in security and defense under which the U.S., in the event of communist aggression against Iran, would ""take such appropriate action, including the use of armed forces, as may be mutually agreed upon..."" We involved ourselves deeply with the Shah's military and economic planning and were generous with our advice on Iran's internal political development. In effect, Iran was a ""client state."" In the last decade this essentially tutelary relationship has been changed by a number of developments; the Shah gained firm political control of his country for the first time in his long rule; the Iranian economy started to modernize and grow at a record rate, and U.S. economic and military aid was terminated; British power withdrew east of Suez and a number of new mini-states, potentially the targets of Arab radicalism, were established in the Persian Gulf; the United States was isolated from much of the Arab world for a lengthy period after the 1967 war; the Vietnam War raised serious doubts as to the activist nature of the U.S. role in Asia; and a revolution in SECRET SECRET -6- the international petroleum economy spotlighted the importance of Persian Gulf oil in the industrial states. Our response in these changed circumstances was to evoke the Guam Doctrine and to promote Iran to the role of regional partner in maintaining--together with Saudi Arabia--stability in the Persian Gulf region. The Shah accepted this role as it coincided with his own perceptions of Iran's evolving power and interests. Iran received, as a result, favored access to advanced U.S. weapons systems; in 1972, President Nixon ordered that we would, in general, agree to sell Iran those weapons it requested. We undertook to inform the Shah, and frequently consulted with him, on broad U.S. political strategic decisions and Middle Eastern issues. The significant increases in oil revenues since 1973 permitted Iran to become a regional power of consequence more quickly than had been envisaged. The U.S.-Iran relationship has continued to center on mutual security interests but has become increasingly broad-based. Our exports of civilian goods to Iran are now running over two billion dollars per year; direct U.S. investment in Iran is over one-half billion dollars, with the possibility of significant increases in the next few years; over 150 of the largest U.S. firms and banks are active in the country and over 30,000 Americans live in Iran. We established in 1974 a U.S.-Iran Joint Commission to promote U.S. public and private sector cooperation in the fields of energy, manpower, agriculture, trade and finance, and science and technology. Iran has asked for our collaboration in supplying a significant part (8 reactors) of a nuclear power network that it seeks to establish and we are negotiating a bilateral agreement as a framework for such collaboration. Over 50 American universities have links with Iranian universities or governmental institutions and the Iranian student population in the United States is now approximately 30,000, the largest single contingent from any foreign country. Iran currently is providing us with between 8-9 percent of our oil imports. SECRET SECRET -7- In a major sense Iran has reached the position of a stable and moderate middle-level power which has been a goal of United States policy ever since World War II. The Future The Shah will arrive here in a mixed mood. He is gratified by your personal involvement in the AWACS sale and apparent interest in his broader security concerns, pleased with the personal attention you have given him in your exchanges of correspondence, and satisfied that we have kept him informed about, and at times involved him in, developments in the Middle East and Africa. At the same time, he is disturbed by the growing role of Congress in foreign policy, which he sees as thwarting Executive Branch support for our arms relationship with Iran. (He has often expressed doubts about the ability of Western democracies to provide strong executive leadership and to follow steady, long-term policies.) He will be looking for reassurance of your determination to meet the Congressional challenge and to chart a long-run course of action in domestic and foreign policy areas of key interest to him, e.g., energy conservation programs, Middle East negotiations. In his talks with you, the Shah will impress upon you his strongly held view that Iran's national interests are complementary to our own throughout the region and that an economically and militarily strong Iran can play an important role in protecting these mutual interests. Not long ago he summed up his views to an American official, ""If not Iran, who else in the area can contribute to peace and stability in the region--I do not know how it (arms sales) harms you--we have never aggressed on anyone."" On our part, the principal task is to nudge the relationship further along the road toward an increasing partnership, with shared responsibilities, where our extensive mutual interests will provide a solid foundation to withstand and overshadow the frustrations which are likely to arise between us on one issue or another in the years ahead. The national consensus which has supported previous Administrations in dealing with Iran has been seriously eroded by Iran's SECRET SECRET -8- advocacy of high oil prices, the growing sentiment against the large-scale transfer of sophisticated arms (and concern what Iran will do with these arms), and the widely held perceptions of the Shah as arrogant, imperial, and insensitive to personal freedom of his subjects. We have a major interest in managing our relationship with Iran in a way that differences of view on specific subjects do not threaten the relationship as a whole. Since the Shah makes all important decisions in his country and has had a favored position with us for years, differences tend to take on the aspect of a personal confrontation. The Shah and his ministers play this card adeptly. As this process proceeds, the Shah may make policy adjustments if we cannot fulfill his wishes, but he sees a basically close relationship as crucial to him. He has been signaling to us his desire to work closely with this Administration: positive human rights actions in Iran, support for our African policies--Rhodesia, Somalia, Chad--and the moderate position on oil prices he took recently with Secretary Blumenthal. Thus, the atmospherics of your talks--and not only the exchanges on substantive issues--will be most important. You will want to weave a number of themes: assurances that you value highly our bilateral ties and recognize the important positive role Iran is playing regionally; your personal commitment to strengthen the relationship; our confidence in the Shah's judgment generally and support for his domestic economic and social revolution; our desire to share with him in a special way our perceptions and problems on world affairs and to seek his views; and to impress upon him our determination to work out such problems as may arise in our bilateral relationship in a way consistent with our shared interests. On points of difference-- oil, arms transfers--we will want to discuss these in the context of old friends talking out frankly and fully our mutual problems and, on arms in particular, our intent to work as closely as possible with him to meet his legitimate requests to the extent practicable. SECRET SECRET -9- III. Key Issues 1. Arms Transfer Relationship A separate inter-agency study on the ""U.S.-Iranian Military Relationship,"" requested by the NSC, has been submitted with options for your consideration. The Shah is likely to raise with you the following points on arms: - He will probably express his concern that Congress will be cutting back on arms sales to Iran. He may ask for your personal assistance in preventing Congressional action which he believes would be detrimental to our relationship. - He may ask you to consider the sale of advanced aircraft and missiles to Iran, including the F-15 and the Phoenix missile. He may also request assistance in accelerating delivery of certain weapons systems already purchased. - He may express concern over the lack of a long-term commitment by the U.S. to Iran's security, and may ask for your views on this issue. - He may raise the issue of the U.S. embargo on arms sales to Iran, which has been in place since 1979. He may seek your support in lifting the embargo. - He may express interest in developing Iran's domestic defense industry and may seek U.S. assistance in this area. It will be important for you to convey our appreciation of Iran's role as a stabilizing force in the region and our commitment to maintaining a strong and mutually beneficial arms relationship. At the same time, you should stress the importance of Congressional oversight and our commitment to upholding the rule of law in our arms sales. You may also want to address the issue of human rights and its impact on arms sales to Iran, acknowledging the concerns expressed by Congress and the American public. 2. Energy and Oil Prices The Shah has long been a proponent of high oil prices and has been a key player in OPEC decisions on pricing and production levels. He will likely express his disappointment SECRET SECRET -10- with the recent drop in oil prices and may seek your views on the future of the oil market. He may also raise the issue of U.S. dependence on foreign oil and may seek assurances that the U.S. will continue to support a stable and profitable oil market. You may want to acknowledge the Shah's role in maintaining stability and security in the oil market, while also expressing our concerns about the impact of high oil prices on the global economy and the need for a more balanced approach to energy policy. You may also want to discuss the potential for increased U.S. energy production and diversification of energy sources. 3. Human Rights The Shah's human rights record has been a source of controversy and criticism, both domestically and internationally. He may seek your understanding and support in defending his actions and may express concern about the impact of human rights on our bilateral relationship. You may want to acknowledge the importance of human rights and our commitment to upholding them, while also recognizing the challenges faced by Iran in balancing stability and progress with individual freedoms. You may also want to discuss specific concerns and areas for improvement, while reaffirming our support for Iran's stability and security. 4. Regional Issues The Shah is likely to seek your views on a range of regional issues, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Soviet presence in Afghanistan, and - We understand Iran's concerns about the long-term sustainability of oil as a resource and the need to develop alternative energies. We are committed to working towards these goals and would welcome Iran's cooperation and partnership in this effort. - We appreciate Iran's position as a leading OPEC member and the influence it holds in determining the outcome of the December meeting. We hope that Iran will use its influence to support a price freeze and work towards a more stable and predictable oil market. - We understand that Iran has been consistently pushing for higher oil prices, but we hope that in light of current economic conditions, Iran will consider the potential negative impact of a price increase and work towards a more moderate approach. - We are concerned about the impact of rising oil prices on the world economy, particularly on developing countries. We hope that Iran will take these factors into consideration in its decision-making. - We remain committed to our long-term energy objectives and hope to work closely with Iran in achieving these goals. We value our partnership and cooperation with Iran in the energy sector and look forward to continued collaboration. Union is not exploiting the situation but note that the Soviets are always looking for opportunities to expand their influence. -- Reiterate our support for Pakistan's territorial integrity. -- Indicate that we are aware of the possibility of Saudi assistance to Pakistan's nuclear program and that we are pursuing the matter with the Saudis. -- Emphasize the importance of regional stability and the need for all countries to work together to address common challenges. -- Thank the Shah for his continued support and reiterate our commitment to working closely with Iran on regional issues. U.S. - USSR Relations U.S. Objectives: Brief the Shah on the Indian Ocean, SALT negotiations and the overall bilateral relationship. Shah's Objectives: Ensure that Iran's interests in the Indian Ocean are protected, and obtain a readout on U.S.-USSR relations. Essential Factors: Iran is a key player in the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean, and has a strategic interest in the stability of the region. The Shah has expressed concerns over Soviet expansion in the Indian Ocean and has sought U.S. support in countering this threat. He is also interested in the progress of SALT negotiations and the overall state of U.S.-USSR relations. Points to be Made: - Provide an update on the situation in the Indian Ocean and the U.S. efforts to counter Soviet expansion in the region. - Discuss the latest developments in SALT negotiations and the U.S. position on arms control. - Reaffirm the U.S. commitment to maintaining a strong relationship with Iran and discuss ways to further strengthen bilateral cooperation. - Seek the Shah's input on how the U.S. can better support Iran's interests in the Indian Ocean and address any concerns he may have regarding U.S.-USSR relations. Somalia with arms provided that they not be used in the Ogaden. -- As a result of our decision not to supply arms to Somalia, the Shah decided to provide a shipment of Iranian-made arms. We appreciate his action and have conveyed this to him. We have also told him that we will continue to look for ways to help Somalia without becoming involved in the Ogaden dispute. -- The Shah has expressed concern that Siad has bitten off more than he can chew in the Ogaden. We share this concern. -- The Shah has also expressed interest in the possibility of a U.S. role in mediating the Ogaden dispute. We have told him that we see no possibility of successful mediation at this time. -- We would appreciate the Shah's views on the current situation in the Horn and on the possibility of further Iranian assistance to Somalia. C. Ethiopia U.S. Objective: We should seek Iranian support for our efforts to encourage the Ethiopians to move toward a more moderate position on the Eritrean ques- tion. The Shah's Objective: He will want to know what our intentions are in Ethiopia and what our views are on the future of that country. Essential Factors: The Shah is interested in the future of the Horn and has expressed concern that the Soviets may be trying to establish a naval base in Ethiopia. The Shah has been very helpful in the past in urging the Ethiopians to move toward a more moderate position on the Eritrean question. He may be prepared to do so again. Points to be Made: -- We share the Shah's concern that the Soviets may be trying to establish a naval base in Ethiopia. We are encouraging the Ethiopians to avoid any such moves. In the meantime, we are supplying economic and humanitarian aid to both sides and are looking for opportunities to encourage Ethiopia and Somalia to move away from the Soviets and toward the West. Both have made limited overtures to us recently to seek improved relations. -OAU mediation efforts, which we support, have made no progress to date. Each side appears to feel that time is on its side. C. Southern Africa U.S. Objectives: We will want to retain Iranian support for the U.S./U.K. efforts concerning Rhodesia and to prepare the ground for Iranian cooperation should we take further steps vis-a-vis South Africa. The Shah's Objectives: He will appreciate a status report on Rhodesia, and your views about South Africa, including possible future actions, e.g., trade embargo. Essential Factors: The Shah, whom we have kept well informed, is supportive of the joint U.K.-U.S. efforts in Rhodesia. He is prepared to contribute to the Zimbabwe Development Fund. He has recently met with Bishop Muzorewa. Iran is a member of the Core Group on Rhodesian sanctions and has asked South Africa not to transship Iranian oil to Rhodesia. Over 80 percent of South Africa's oil comes from Iran and the effectiveness of any future trade embargo will depend on Iranian cooperation. Iran currently has close ties with South Africa. Points to be Made: - Our recent support of a mandatory arms embargo increases the chances of constructive change within South Africa. SECRET SECRET - We would be interested in the Shah's perceptions of recent developments in Southern Africa and look forward to continuing cooperation with Iran in all African problem areas, where we have shared goals. D. Chad U.S. Objective: To encourage the Shah to meet some of Chad's military requirements. The Shah's Objective: To have our best estimate of the security situation in Chad, as well as a statement of U.S. objectives. Essential Factors: We have encouraged Iran to provide military supplies and/or financial help to Chad and the Iranians appear receptive. Points to be Made: - We told the Chadians in July that we would assist them in restoring their territorial integrity. As you know, Libyan-backed insurgents are threatening the northern and eastern part of the country. Third-country transfers appeared to be the most expeditious means of responding to Chad's urgent needs. We have appreciated the positive response from your government. - The Chadian Government has recently completed lists of its specific needs and a Chadian delegation will be visiting possible donors shortly. - Our goal in Chad is to strengthen the central government militarily to enable it to negotiate with insurgents from a position of strength. The Chadians have recently been successful in their negotiations with certain guerrilla factions. However, the Libyan-supported groups feel no need of negotiating at this time. We continue to regard the military situation in Chad as serious. SECRET",Confidential "Organizational Announcement It is with regret that I have to announce that Jeff Skilling is leaving Enron.

You are on the right medicine for ringworm, but there may be chances that you may have a resistant strain of fungus. So, should not use any steroid containing cream. Now, I suggest tablet Trfy 250 mg (Terbinafine) once daily for 21 days and this tablet have both fungistatic and fungicidal properties.

I can feel the chin and lip but they feel weird whe touching or when I move them. On the X Ray post extraction , it showed that the drill went up to the nerve canal. It's been 8 days with no changes as far as I can tell. The lower teeth in front of the extraction are "" numb "" but feel uncomfortable when I press on them. Is this possibly reversible? what suggestions do you have ? Hi..Thanks for the query..As per your complain it looks like during the extraction of the wisdom tooth or the third molar tooth there has been injury to the inferior dental nerve and it is leading to numbness in the lower gums, chin, lip etc as these areas are supplied by inferior dental nerve..I would therefore suggest you to consult an Oral Surgeon and get thoroughly evaluated and if needed an MRI SCAN can be advised to check for the condition of the nerve.In case if there is only injury to the nerve then it will gradually repair itself and the sensations will become normal and numbness will subside..In case if the nerve is broken or severed in two parts then there can be irreversible damage and the numbness can be permanent..So it will be better to get examined and treated accordingly..Hope this helps..Regards.",Confidential "Valuable Information - Consulting Club Firm Night 9/20 The Haas Consulting Club invites all MBA students to the MBA Firm Night, September 20, 2001 Date/Time/Location: The Consulting Club Firm Night will be held September 20, 2001 from 6:30-9pm at the Marine?s Memorial Club and Hotel in San Francisco (directions below).

The standard BP (blood pressure) ranges between 110 by 70 mmHg to 120 by 80 mmHg. I think your BP is within the range and any reading above this normal range is considered to be abnormal or high. High BP can be temporary or transient depending upon the triggers. A person can have high blood pressure if the BP remains consistently and persistently high for one to two weeks. In this case, tests like ECG (electrocardiography) can be done before the medications are given. You can reduce blood pressure by reducing the intake of salt, fatty foods, do a lot of exercises, and have a good sleep. Be relaxed.",Confidential "I started the HCG diet about two months ago.

(© wicewera) Afghanistan: Soviet Occupation and Withdrawal The following report was prepared by the Bureau of Intelligence and Research as part of an annual series of Special Reports on the situation in Afghanistan. Introduction and Summary Although 1988 has proven to be a watershed year, the bloody conflict in Afghanistan continues. Protracted UN-sponsored negotiations concluded in Geneva with the April 14 signing of an accord between Afghanistan and Pakistan; the USSR and the United States assumed as guarantors. On May 15, in compliance with the Geneva agreement, the Soviets began to withdraw their troops from Afghanistan; by mid-August, they withdrew about one-half of their forces. The shift of military momentum toward the resistance, or mujahideen, probably is irreversible. Under the impact of these developments, the demoralization of the Soviet-backed regime in Kabul has accelerated. If the Soviet Union carries out its obligation to withdraw all of its troops by February 15, 1989, the ninth year will be the last year of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev concluded that Soviet involvement in Afghanistan was a ""bleeding wound"" and worked steadily to end it. His decision was undoubtedly influenced by a number of considerations: By 1987, the mujahideen had fought the Soviet regime forces to a stalemate; Moscow's Afghan policy had alienated it from the Islamic, Western, and nonaligned countries; and the Soviets failed to find a client leader in Kabul who could capture the loyalty of the Afghan people. Furthermore, more than 5 million Afghans, approximately one-third of the country's prewar population, remained in Pakistan and Iran as refugees. Systematic terror bombings, aerial bombardment, and cross-border shelling failed to end Pakistan's support for the Afghan resistance. The December 1987 summit between President Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev in Washington, a final shuttle trip to Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran by UN negotiator Diego Cordovez in January 1988, and Gorbachev's February 8, 1988, announcement of his withdrawal decision set the stage for the final round of UN-sponsored Geneva negotiations which had begun in 1982. The parties gathered in Geneva for the last time in early March. After 2 months of negotiations, an agreement was signed on April 14, 1988, to become effective on May 15. The USSR would withdraw one-half of its forces by August 14 and the remainder by February 15, 1989. Afghanistan and Pakistan agreed not to interfere in each other's internal affairs. The first phase of the Soviet withdrawal was followed by a series of regime military reverses; Soviet troops subsequently have intervened to prevent mujahideen capture of key towns and cities. In late October, the USSR introduced sophisticated aircraft and surface-to-surface missiles into the conflict and stated that it would suspend the commencement of its final phase of withdrawal. Nevertheless, the Soviets are obligated to withdraw the remainder of their forces by February 15, 1989. Most observers believe that the Najibullah regime will not long survive the Soviet departure. It already has begun to unravel as party desertions increase and factionalism intensifies with each group blaming the other for the looming crisis. In efforts to persuade elements of the resistance to join in a ""national reconciliation"" coalition government, Najibullah and his ""nonparty"" prime minister, Hassan Sharq, steadily reduced the role of People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) members in the Kabul government, offered top government jobs to resistance commanders, and promised more autonomy to ethnic minority groups. However, the resistance remains unimpressed and uninterested in any such coalition. Faced with an increasingly unstable situation, Moscow dispatched to be seeking to improve relations with both coun- tries. However, Gorbachev did not address the issue of future Soviet military as- sistance to the Najibullah regime. He did not specify whether the Soviets would continue military aid to Afghanistan, and he did not mention the future sta- tus of Soviet military ad- visers and technicians in the country. It is likely that the Soviet Union will con- tinue to provide military aid to Afghanistan in some form, but probably in re- duced amounts and with less direct involvement. The Soviet decision was welcomed by the United States and other Western countries, as well as by Pakistan and the Afghan resistance. However, the mujahidin initially rejected the Soviet proposal for withdrawal within 18 months, insisting on a shorter time frame. After consultations with the United States and other countries, the mujahidin announced their acceptance of the Soviet proposal on March 20. The Soviet decision to withdraw from Afghanistan was a landmark development in the long and difficult process of finding a political settlement to the conflict. It was the result of a three-year decision-making process, during which the Soviet leadership recognized that there could be no military solution to the conflict without a massive increase in their military commitment. In the end, Moscow was unwilling to provide the necessary support to win militarily, and there was no realistic alternative to cutting losses and withdrawing. The decision was also motivated by domestic and international factors, including economic and social strains and the desire to improve relations with the United States and other countries. However, the Soviet offer did not address the issue of future military assistance to the Najibullah regime, and it remains unclear how the Soviets will continue to support Afghanistan in the future. The withdrawal is expected to result in the return of millions of refugees and the beginning of efforts for resettlement and reconstruction. natory treatment of Afghan citizens in Pakistan or Pakistani citi- zens in Afghanistan. The agreements also provide for the following: e The withdrawal of all Soviet forces from Afghanistan within nine months, with the process to begin on May 15: e The return of Afghan refugees from Pakistan within three months after the beginning of the withdrawal: e The release of prisoners of war and of political prisoners, and an amnesty for those who fought against the Kabul regime: e The establishment of an interim government in Afghanistan to be formed by agreement between the parties, which would be followed by free elections: e The right of all Afghans to participate in the political life of the country and to express their views freely: e The right of all Afghans to return to their homes and to be reintegrated into Afghan society: e The right of all Afghan citizens to be protected by the law and to enjoy human rights and fundamental freedoms: e The right of all Afghan citizens to practice their religions freely, as well as the right to education and employment.

The central feature, however, and the one that had taken years to negotiate, was the timetable for the Soviet troop withdrawal: The Soviets would begin their pullout on May 15 and would have one-half of their troops out by August 1; all Soviet troops would be out by February 15, 1984. In signing the accords, the United States, on the basis of understandings reached with the Soviets, reserved the right to continue to provide military assistance to parties in Afghanistan, while stating its readiness to exercise restraint if the Soviets did so. The United States also noted that its role as guarantor did not imply any recognition of the regime in Kabul. However, U.S. hopes for the Soviet restriction of military assistance to the Kabul regime were not realized. The Soviets immediately announced that their departing troops would leave behind equipment and military facilities valued at more than $1 billion and on June 18, publicly reemphasized their intention to continue supplying military hardware to the Kabul regime. Substantial deliveries of military equipment—including tanks, armored personnel carriers, and aircraft—have continued unabated throughout 1983. Implementing the Accords The agreement’s fourth instrument presented a procedure for monitoring the accords. Cordovez was instructed to lend his ""good offices"" to Pakistan and Afghanistan and was authorized ""such personnel under his authority as required"" to investigate possible violations. Fifty military officers, drawn from existing UN peacekeeping operations, were seconded to Pakistan and Afghanistan under the command of General Raul Helminen of Finland. The group, known as the UN Good Offices Mission in Afghanistan and Pakistan (UNGOMAP), was formally established by the Secretary General on April 26 through an exchange of letters with the President of the Security Council. Pakistan and Afghanistan pay operational costs while the United Nations funds travel expenses, equipment, and salaries. On October 31, the Security Council voted to regularize UNGOMAP's status through a formal resolution. UNGOMAP has made a significant contribution in monitoring the Soviet withdrawal. On August 16, it certified that the USSR had complied with the Geneva accords by withdrawing one-half of its troop strength. It remains poised to oversee the final withdrawal as well. Under the accords, reports of alleged violations are submitted to the local UNGOMAP office and to UN offices in Geneva; they are to be discussed by the two countries within 24 hours of submission. Since the accords have been in effect, Kabul has frequently accused Pakistan of supporting the mujahideen in violation of the Geneva accords, while Pakistan has denied such charges and, for its part, charged that Afghan terror bombings, shelling, and aerial bombardment of Pakistani territory were violations. UNGOMAP has not, as yet, confirmed any allegations of violations. The Impact of Geneva on the UN Annual Resolution The United Nations has debated the Afghanistan issue every year since 1979, condemning the Soviet occupation by a generally increasing margin. In 1987, the 42nd UN General Assembly vote was 125 to 19 with 84 abstentions—a record vote. This year, as a direct consequence of the Geneva accords and the completion of one-half of the Soviet pullout, the parties agreed on a consensus resolution. The resolution was passed on November 3 without debate. The consensus resolution specifically states that the situation found today in Afghanistan results from ""the violation of principles of the Charter of the United Nations."" United Nations and of the recognized norms of inter-state conduct."" It welcomes the Geneva accords and calls on all parties to implement them faithfully. The resolution ""notes the continuing process of withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan and expresses its expectation that the withdrawal will be completed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Geneva agreements."" It further calls on all foreign powers not to interfere in Afghanistan's internal affairs and for the establishment of a ""broad-based government."" By agreeing to the resolution, the Soviet Union reaffirmed its commitment to fulfill the provisions of the Geneva accords, specifically the removal of its troops by February 15. The resolution also makes clear that foreign powers, specifically Soviet forces, are responsible for the war and destruction in Afghanistan. Resistance Opposition to the Accords Peshawar's seven party alliance, the political leadership of the resistance, opposed the Geneva talks from their inception, arguing that the Kabul regime is illegitimate and has no authority to engage in such negotiations. The alliance maintains that the Afghan conflict can only be settled through direct talks between itself and the Soviets. Furthermore, the alliance was concerned that the Geneva accords might lead to diminished military support, putting them at a disadvantage compared to Kabul's forces. On April 16, just two days after the accords were signed, the Resistance Alliance sponsored a massive rally in Peshawar to register its displeasure. Resistance spokesmen vowed to continue the war against the Najibullah regime. The Military Situation The Soviet withdrawal decision, which led to the Geneva accords, was heavily influenced by battlefield events in Afghanistan. In the end, Moscow deemed the overall costs of pursuing a military solution to be too high. Conflict Dynamics From the beginning, the Soviet Union directed and dominated the military effort. During the first seven years of the conflict, Soviet commanders and advisers orchestrated virtually all military operations; Soviet airpower provided the mobility and firepower needed to apply modern counterinsurgency tactics; Soviet Spetsnaz (special forces) troops ambushed mujahideen supply columns; and the Soviets controlled key locations, facilities, and the main road network. The Kabul regime itself has never been able to mount a credible military effort. The Afghan army, comprised predominantly of conscripts, is plagued by low morale, chronic defections to the mujahideen, and inadequate transportation and logistics capabilities. Primarily, it has performed garrison duty and participated in Soviet-planned sweep operations. Ministry of Interior security troops, members of the Afghan secret police (RHAD, later known as WAD), and other special units have been more reliable, but are too few to tip the balance against the mujahideen. The Soviet Union has supplied regime forces with large amounts of modern equipment in hopes of creating a military capable of functioning on its own after the Soviet departure. However, this strategy does not address the fundamental problem, which is a lack of motivated and trained Afghan army personnel. Over the years, the resistance steadily built up a hard-core cadre of experienced commanders capable of planning and carrying out effective, though limited, military operations. Consequently, until the Soviet decision to withdraw, the war was characterized by periods when new Soviet equipment and tactics caused the mujahideen considerable difficulty, followed by periods of mujahideen adjustment and resurgence. In the last such cycle, the Soviets used improved tactical intelligence, Spetsnaz, and helicopters in a concerted assault on mujahideen supply lines. But within a year, resistance logistics were moving faster than ever. The mujahideen's acquisition of surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) was critical to their ability to counter Soviet airpower. This forced the Soviets to rely more heavily on their ground forces, which were vulnerable to ambushes and raids by the mujahideen. This shift in tactics and the continued resistance of the mujahideen ultimately led to the Soviet Union's decision to withdraw from Afghanistan. ons, and other these Soviet tactics. Since late 1986, when SAMs were used in significant numbers, the mujahidin were able to move without constant fear of Soviet helicopter attacks. This SAM capability soon forced all Soviet aircraft to fly higher with much less effectiveness, and the resistance supply and morale situation improved dramatically. Improved Mujahidin Position By early 1988, the mujahidin had seized the tactical initiative. Soviet troops reacted to situations created by the resistance while attempting to breathe life into the moribund Afghan army. Important changes in mujahidin strategy during the year, the impact of which has been magnified by Soviet withdrawal, underscore this basic change in battlefield dynamics. First, the level of cooperation among groups fighting inside the country reached unprecedented levels. Mujahidin commanders, aware of the value of such cooperation, set aside previous differences and suspicions to achieve the common goal of evicting the Soviets and the Najibullah regime in Kabul. Operations coordination among commanders representing different resistance parties in various localities has increased markedly. Moreover, they have shared captured supplies as well as intelligence, and some groups have shared fighters for given operations, occasionally dispatching guerrilla units from one region to another. Second, in mid-year, mujahidin commanders decided to avoid costly frontal assaults, opting instead to retain the classic guerrilla strategy of surrounding, isolating, and harassing garrisons and then waiting for them to fall. In many cases, this tactic has included the negotiated surrender of most or all of the regime defenders. Employing such tactics against heavily manned regime garrisons, such as Khowst, put increased pressure on their manpower resources. Some mujahidin commanders did not attack departing Soviet formations, preferring to concentrate on the regime and to build up their forces for a future possible full-scale attack against Kabul. With military supplies more abundant than ever—including tons of material captured from the regime— mujahidin commanders were able to field more men than ever before. As victory became apparent, weapons were available, and capable commanders were leading operations in the field. Soviet Withdrawal The Geneva accords called for a 50% reduction of Soviet forces in the first 3 months, May 15-August 15. Most Western estimates put Soviet troop strength at about 120,000 men, counting all Soviet military personnel in country. Soviet officials conceded only 100,300 troops in Afghanistan. Early Soviet plans appear to have included a withdrawal first from the east (Jalalabad-Gardez-Ghazni) and the south and west (Kandahar-Shindand- Herat). But, as the withdrawal began, the security situation became so desperate in the Kandahar area that this option was discarded. Instead, some troops remained in Shindand and Herat, while troops from Kunduz and Feyzabad in the north withdrew. After an extensive, last-minute airlift operation from Kandahar and other areas in early to mid-August, the Soviets essentially managed to meet the requirement to have 50% of their forces withdrawn by August 15. The first units to leave were some of the best, most mobile formations the Soviets had in Afghanistan. For example, most Spetsnaz troops and an airborne brigade had been removed by August 15, probably because their mission of border interdiction no longer was important. Other units withdrawn were independent brigades and regiments which had demonstrated effective combat capabilities. The drawdown of Soviet personnel highlighted the weaknesses of the regime: The departure of Soviet troops from an area usually led to significant mujahidin gains. But Soviet troop morale also declined significantly, as evidenced by increased incidents of public drunkenness, drug use, unauthorized sale of weapons and ammunition, indiscriminate firing of weapons, and other. ons, and even assaults on Afghan civilian ""allies."" After August 15, the Soviets began reorganizing and preparing for the last phase of removing the remaining 50,000-60,000 troops. Soviet troops re- mained in only two corridors in north- ern Afghanistan: from Kabul north to the border and, in the west, from Shind- and north to the border. This force— supported by additional aircraft based in the U.S.S.R.—remained quite capa- ble of conducting major operations around important garrisons and secur- ing the lines of communication to the U.S.S.R. Renewed Soviet Activities Soviet reliance on Afghan security forces to maintain control of provincial capitals proved to be overly optimistic. In late October and early November, the Soviets responded to a general de- terioration of the security situation— including a severe mujahidin threat to Qandahar and heavy rocket attacks on Kabul—with new deployments. A MiG-27 Flogger regiment with more than 30 aircraft arrived at Shindand airfield in late October, and by early November SCUD launchers were de- ployed to the Kabul area—both new weapons in the Afghan conflict. SCUD missile firings began almost immedi- ately, as did heavy air strikes by air- craft stationed across the border inside the U.S.S.R. Missions by Soviet-based Tu-22M Backfire strategic bombers and Su-24 Fencer aircraft became routine, along with strikes by the Afghan-based MiG-23, MiG-27, Su-25, and Su-17 air- craft. The bombing was concentrated around Qandahar, in the Kabul area, and Jalalabad, as well as along the withdrawal routes. As in earlier in- stances of Soviet conventional warfare against the mujahidin guerrillas, the latest Soviet military escalation has had only a limited effect on the resistance. In early November, Moscow “sus- pended” the second phase of its troop withdrawal, which it previously had an- nounced would begin November 15. In fact, the Geneva accords do not require the Soviets to resume their withdrawal by any specific date as long as it is completed by mid-February. During a visit to Kabul in mid-November, Oleg Baklanov, Central Committee Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) said troops would re- turn to the Soviet Union in strict compliance with the timetable of the Geneva accords. A bilateral protocol on military and economic cooperation also was signed during Baklanov's visit. These steps were designed to apply political as well as military pressure on the resistance and Pakistan. They Control of the Provinces ant Qandahar U.S.S.R. AFGHANISTAN “ ‘ oS i Y Chagcharan —: / f+ Nel te ng co 7 : ay Ay: . , : : ‘, 7 Tann 0161 11-88 STATE ONAVGE} proved fruitless, however, as the resistance and the Pakistan Government reiterated their determination not to be intimidated by Moscow. Moscow's escalation also has contradicted earlier Soviet assurances that it would not engage in offensive operations unless attacked. Moreover, launching military operations from Soviet territory runs counter to Soviet undertakings in the Geneva accords not to intervene in Afghanistan's internal affairs. Combat Operations The Soviets and their allies had been losing outposts and small garrisons for some time before the Soviet withdrawal began. Subsequently, this deterioration accelerated dramatically. As Soviet forces vacated areas (mainly in eastern and southern Afghanistan), the Kabul regime forces began retreating from outlying areas to consolidate with its major garrisons. By the end of the year, Kabul could not claim to have increased control anywhere. Qandahar and Jalalabad, the two largest urban areas outside Kabul, were under heavy mujahidin pressure. The deteriorating situation in Qandahar apparently prompted the Soviet long-range bombing campaign which began in early November. An unprecedented number of mujahidin victories vividly exposed the weak core of the Najibullah government. By the end of May, Commander Masood's men had recaptured the entire Panjsher Valley, of the text: alley. Some posts were va- cated, others overrun. In total, the resistance scored a stunning victory in an area hotly contested throughout the war. Control of the Panjsher shortened mujahidin supply lines and extended Masood’s influence toward Kabul and the Salang area. In October, regime forces were pushed out of the Konar Valley, the northern gateway to Jalalabad. By November 15, five province capitals were in mujahidin control despite the Soviet regime tactic of heavily bombing urban areas under resistance control. The mujahidin controlled Asadabad (Konarha Province), Taloqan (Takhar Province), Bamian (Bamian Province), Zareh Sharan (Paktika Province), and Mahmud-e Raghi (Kapisa Province). Other provincial capitals, such as in Laghman, Oruzgan, and Ghazni, were seriously threatened. However, the resistance, concerned over Soviet reprisal against civilian populations, has avoided taking control of urban centers. At the same time, the road between Kabul and Qandahar was cut in numerous places. Qandahar itself was completely surrounded with supplies for regime troops arriving by aircraft and occasional heavily armored convoys using the road from Shindand. The situation in and around Qandahar worsened daily, including a major regime defeat at Spin Buldak in early September. The mujahidin capture of Takteh Pol south of Qandahar at the end of the month brought the airport, 26 kilometers south of Qandahar, within mortar and rocket range. Mujahidin forces cut the airport road in several places, threatening the regime's ability to hold out in Qandahar. In late October-early November, the focus shifted to the area from Jalalabad to the Pakistani border. Resistance fighters captured the border post of Torkham and a number of strongpoints along the road to Jalalabad. A regime counterattack—using armored vehicles and reinforcements brought in from as far away as Mazar-i-Sharif—recaptured Torkham in mid-November but lost it again later in the month to a resistance counterattack. Regime units sent to push back the mujahidin defected en masse, and the resistance continued to gain ground in its advance toward Jalalabad. Around Kabul, the mujahidin position also improved this past summer and fall. The Regime Armed Forces Feeling under the pressure of an unbroken series of defeats, retreats, and consolidations, the Afghan army is a demoralized force. Poorly led but better equipped than the mujahidin, the army has not expanded its control anywhere in the country over the last year. Most experts agree that it probably can survive no more than a matter of months after a complete Soviet withdrawal. Since the withdrawal started, the Afghan army was defeated at Ali Kheyl, Spin Buldak, and in the Konar and Panjsher Valleys. The mujahidin efforts in the Kunar Valley are particularly noteworthy since they took Barikowt, the garrison nearest the Pakistan border, and then methodically moved Mujahidin in prayer during a ceasefire down the rest of the valley. Army personnel could not have been surprised, nor could they claim that they were far from supporting bases and supplies. Apparently, they simply did not have the will to stand and fight whereas the mujahidin did. Likewise, in the north, Kunduz was captured by the mujahidin as soon as Soviet troops departed in August. The regime was able to retake the city only after major intervention by the Soviets, who provided command and control as well as artillery and air support. After Soviet troops leave, the regime’s ability to use its arsenals of Soviet equipment effectively will be severely limited. Regime pilots, in chronic short supply, are reluctant to fly into threatened areas. The regime also lacks the capability to provide logistical support to the cities, towns, garrisons, and outposts it is attempting to hold. In addition to shortages of qualified and capable officers, the regime is chronically short of manpower. Forced conscriptions keep the ranks of the army. e The Kabul Regime Political Developments The past year was an unusually difficult one for the PDPA and the regime government. The Soviet decision to withdraw its military forces, which have provided the underpinning for the Kabul regime's survival for 30 years, forced party chief President Najibullah and other key leaders to confront the possibility - indeed, the probability - that both party and government would soon lose power and disappear. The regime, under Soviet guidance, has followed a two-pronged strategy in an attempt to avoid disaster. It made desperate efforts to shore up its military forces, and it reduced the PDPA role in the central government to induce ""opposition elements"" - resistance commanders - to agree to a cease-fire and to join a coalition government. Formally, however, Najibullah's elaborate ""national reconciliation"" scenario only exacerbated deep functional rifts within the PDPA and accelerated the unraveling of the regime. National Reconciliation Policy: A Parliamentary Facade As president and party chief, Najibullah has tried to make the concept of national reconciliation appealing and credible to the Afghan people and internationally. Following a Soviet script, he created the facade of the infrastructure for a parliamentary democracy, in which the PDPA party would appear to have a minimal role. Simultaneously, he has stressed the Islamic nature of this new government. The process began in late 1987 with the adoption of a new constitution and the forming of new political parties, including an ""Islamic Party"" to join the PDPA in a coalition. Elections In accordance with the new constitution, elections were held April 5-15, 1988 for a national parliament, or Mel Shura. Voters elected candidates for a lower house (Wolass Jirga) and one-third of the senate (Seren); the remaining senators were to be appointed from special interest groups. The March 1988 establishment of an election commission and announcement of the election regulations left little time to make arrangements for the elections, thus reducing the credibility of the exercise. Observers reported numerous infractions of the election laws. There were no secret ballots; candidate lists were not published until after the polls opened; polling booths were unmanned; and 13-year-old children voted (the legal age is 18). In fact, these anomalies were only the most obvious means of fraud and coercion used to achieve the desired results. The resistance, of course, opposed the elections, and despite the regime's efforts, turnout was minimal even in areas under regime control. Resistance interference effectively prevented elections in most of the country. None of these problems prevented the regime from declaring the elections a success and claiming that 3.5 million people voted. The point of the facade was to convince the international community that the regime was moving toward democracy and to shore up its legitimacy. But in reality, the elections did little to change the regime's power structure or to bring about genuine national reconciliation. The regime remains heavily dependent on Soviet military and economic aid, and its control over the country is limited to major cities and highways. The resistance continues to control large areas of the countryside and to pose a significant threat to regime control. The exercise was to establish a parliament in which the PDPA would appear to be a minority. In order to give credibility to the national reconciliation policy. This was achieved by having non-PDPA associates of the regime run as members of email left-wing parties—two of which participated in a coalition with the PDPA—or as individuals representing various front organizations. Najibullah also stressed from the beginning that a significant number of seats would be saved for the “opposition”—by which he meant members of the resistance. The net result of Najibullah’s reverse rigging scheme was that the PDPA technically won only 20% of the parliamentary contests. A New Government The new parliament that convened on May 30, 2 weeks after the Geneva accords became effective and the beginning of the Soviet troop withdrawal, consisted of 126 lower house deputies and 110 senators: 62 house and 82 senate seats were left vacant for the resistance “opposition.” Non-PDPA member Mohammed Hassan Sharq was selected by President Najibullah to be the new prime minister, replacing party stalwart Sultan Ali Keshtmand. The appointment was intended dramatically to reinforce the point that the PDPA was going to take a back seat: in fact, the new constitution vests key powers in the presidency, and there was no indication that Najibullah was prepared to give up that central role. In any event, Sharq’s long-time association with the ‘archam wing of the party, dating back to the Daoud government (1975-78), made the “non-PDPA” appellation meaningless. Sharq had served as the regime's deputy prime minister since June 1986 and before that as its ambassador to India. Likewise, on June 7, when Sharq announced his cabinet, consisting of 11 new members and 10 former ones, the nonparty credentials of the “new” ministers were undermined by the fact that most had served the regime government previously in other capacities. Furthermore, the powerful ministries of interior, state security, and foreign affairs remained in PDPA hands. The major exception was the effort to enlist a resistance commander or a respected retired general from an earlier era to become minister of defense. This post remained open for some time, but in August it finally was given to Army Chief of Staff General Shahnawaz Tanai of the Khalq faction. Thus, almost 2 years after he announced the national reconciliation policy in January 1987, Najibullah has been unable to attract a single major figure of the resistance or prominent Afghan refugee to join the government. Multiple Parties Creating the appearance of a multi-party system is basic to Najibullah’s national reconciliation policy. At the time of the April elections, the PDPA pressured two small northern ethnic parties—the Workers Organization of Afghanistan (WOA) and the Workers Revolutionary Organization of Afghanistan (WROA)—to join it and run as a front called the Left Democratic Union. In July, Najibullah officially recognized two more new parties: the “Union of Ansarullah” party, based in southern Afghanistan, and the “Movement of Solidarity of the People of Afghanistan” party. An early September conference of political parties and organizations brought seven parties together. But the proceedings indicated that these small and primarily local organizations representing minority and regional interests were not able to gain converts for national reconciliation. In fact, some new parties appeared to have joined the chorus of Najibullah’s critics. Zones of Peace and Neutrality As soon as the Soviet withdrawal preparations were underway in late April and May, resistance pressure and the need to man major garrisons vacated by the Soviets forced the regime to pull back from smaller exposed positions near the Pakistan border. Consequently, Najibullah decreed the recently vacated area as “demilitarized zones” along the border to facilitate the return of refugees. The gesture was The Mujahideen continued their steady advance, and the refugees did not come back. By the end of the summer, the pressures produced by a series of successful resistance military offensives and by the failure to make any headway on the political front had intensified. In his September 1 speech to the political parties' conference, Najibullah introduced the idea of establishing zones of peace and neutrality, where full provincial power would be ceded to the ""opposition."" Once again, Najibullah was trying to make it appear that the government was voluntarily ceding power in areas that the resistance had already occupied or taken over by force. Ethnic and Autonomy Issues and Administrative Controls During the year, two new provinces were created - Sar-e-Pol in the north and Nuristan in the northeast - by carving out territory from adjoining provinces. In each case, the purpose appears to have been to create a new entity where an ethnic minority - the Hazaras and Nuristanis respectively - would dominate. This readjustment would guarantee representation in the new parliament for these ethnic groups. At the same time, the Sharq government has abolished the special ministry for nationalities that carries connotations of a Soviet-style system. In mid-March, when the regime named a special deputy prime minister to look after the northern areas, rumors spread that Moscow and the regime were considering partitioning Afghanistan if the regime were driven out of Kabul. Actually, as the government later announced, the plan was to divide the entire country into zones, each with a super chief. The government hoped that with this arrangement it could improve central control over provincial areas, while allowing more local - and ethnic - autonomy. The theory was that if local ethnic groups and tribes were given more responsibility for their own areas, they would stop fighting the regime. But the plan will not be implemented as the resistance forces the pace of the regime's downfall. Meanwhile, zones of a different kind may be created: the government is considering amalgamating provinces that have fallen to the resistance with neighboring provinces where the provincial capitals still remain - at least nominally - under Kabul's authority. PDPA: Party Strife From the beginning of the year, it has been apparent that the withdrawal decision seriously has strained the already fractured PDPA. Two powerful groups within the party, the Khalqis, led by former Interior Minister Sayed Mohammed Gulabzoi, and alienated Parcham supporters of former party chief Babrak Karmal, have consistently opposed Najibullah's national reconciliation policy. Both groups have accused Najibullah of cooperating with a Soviet sell-out of the April 1978 ""revolution""; they would prefer to continue the war rather than make further political concessions which could lead to a transfer of power from PDPA hands. Earlier, the Babrakists also were blaming Najibullah for letting the Khalqis amass too much power. By the end of the year, however, they appeared to be making common cause with the Khalqis in plotting against Najibullah. Najibullah has tried to undermine his critics by removing them from party and government positions. Thus, three PDPA central committee plenums during the year - January 27-28, June 22, and October 19 - at which ""organizational"" - i.e., personnel - matters were high on the agenda, were extremely divisive. The period of forming the new Sharg government in May also was particularly difficult as Najibullah tried to exploit the policy of opening up ministerial posts for the ""resistance opposition"" as a way to remove his own party opposition - particularly his chief adversary, Gulabzoi. Najibullah has found it easier to remove Babrakists and other Parcham challengers than the Khalqis. The January plenum demoted two prominent Babrakists. g of power. The latest round of Geneva talks, which began in March 1988, have been stalled on the issue of the inter- im government, with the Resistance Alliance refusing to participate in a coalition with the Najibullah regime. The Soviet Union, while publicly sup- porting Najibullah, has privately expressed a willingness to see him re- moved from power in a way that would not appear to be a Soviet-installed solution. In late May, Prime Minister Sultan Ali Keshtmand and Defense Minister Mohammed Rafie were eased out to free spaces in the new government for nonparty candidates. The June 22 plenum was billed as a party unity plenum—presumably to calm the agitation triggered by the May upheavals. The most notable personnel action was the elevation to full membership on the central committee of a group of high-ranking military officers. But by fall, the party was in shambles. At the October 19 plenum, many party members, mostly Babrakists and including some central committee members, were arrested; a formerly close associate of Babrak Karmal, Abdul Zohor Razmjo, who had already been replaced as the Kabul city party chief in January, was removed from the Politburo. Najibullah, however, had more trouble eliminating his Khalq opponents, who were firmly entrenched in the defense and police establishments. As Minister of Interior, Gulabzoi commanded his own private army—the Sarandoy, a special police militia force. Indeed, the escalating military crisis and the focus on defense— it was the priority issue at the January and June plenums—appears to have helped Gulabzoi consolidate and broaden his power base through much of the year. Recurring rumors about a possible Gulabzoi-led coup against Najibullah revealed Najibullah’s apparent inability to force out his major challenger as well as the intensity of the power struggle. Meanwhile, repeated efforts to force party members to sign up for military service have had an extremely negative effect on party cadre morale. After years of trying to enforce peace between the warring PDPA factions, the mid-October arrival in Kabul of Soviet Ambassador Yuliy Vorontsov appears to have been a turning point in Soviet policy toward party infighting and in the fortunes of Gulabzoi. Although most party dissidents arrested at the October 19 plenum were Babrakists, some Khalqis also were detained. Furthermore, Gulabzoi was unable to prevent the Khalqis’ most adept survivor, Saleh Mohammed Zeary, a member of the Politburo since April 1978, from being dropped from that body. Throughout the year, Zeary had been outspoken in his criticism of Najibullah’s policy. Finally, on November 6, Gulabzui himself was unceremoniously dispatched to Moscow as the new regime Ambassador. Gulabzoi’s removal was a strong indication that the Soviets want to see further evolution of the national reconciliation policy and hope that it can lead to a political settlement. As the February 15 deadline for the Soviets to complete their withdrawal approached, the need to achieve such a settlement became more urgent. Therefore, Gulabzai's militant opposition to the policy could be tolerated no longer. Without Gulabzoi, the intensity of the Khalq-Parcham struggle may diminish; but it is not over. Another old-time Khalqi, Mohammed Aslam Watanjar, has been named as the new Minister of Interior—a move that may have been necessary to try to calm resentment among Khalqis and within the Sarandoy over Gulabzoi’s abrupt dismissal. Meanwhile, continuing rumors anticipating more party purges of former Babrakists indicates that the party remains in turmoil. The Search for a Political Solution During the final Geneva negotiations, Pakistan dropped its demand for the installation of an interim government prior to concluding the accords, in return for an agreement that UN negotiator Cordovez would continue to pursue the issue in his personal capacity after the accords went into effect. Although most participants in the Afghan struggle would have preferred a negotiated political settlement to the conflict, achieving a consensus agreement on an interim government has proven to be difficult. The obvious problem is that the Najibullah regime has resisted agreeing to its own demise, while the Resistance Alliance has steadily rejected joining any coalition with the regime and insists on a transfer rather than a sharing of power. The latest round of Geneva talks, which began in March 1988, have been stalled on the issue of the interim government, with the Resistance Alliance refusing to participate in a coalition with the Najibullah regime. The Soviet Union, while publicly supporting Najibullah, has privately expressed a willingness to see him removed from power in a way that would not appear to be a Soviet-installed solution. gees, and seven Afghan Muslims inside the country. The alliance also called for a 50-50 division of portfolios between the mujahidin and the seven Afghan Muslims. The alliance was silent on whether the Afghan Muslims should be PDPA members, but it was clear that the resistance leaders were thinking only of those PDPA members who had defected from the regime in the past two years. The U.S.S.R., for its own interests as well as those of its clients, staunchly has backed Kabul's position, hoping to preserve the PDPA as an institution and a residual role for some regime members. But the Soviets ultimately may decide they have an overriding interest in obtaining a negotiated resolution before their departure. Subsequently, the situation in Afghanistan at the end of 1988 may lead Moscow to support the departure of the PDPA. Kabul's View of a Political Settlement As originally conceived, the objectives of Kabul's national reconciliation policy were a cease-fire and a political settlement allowing the PDPA to retain control through the all-powerful presidency as well as the military and security ministries. Over time, Najibullah has accepted the more modest goal of preserving the party as an entity in a future government. However, the continued lack of interest by the mujahidin political leaders in Peshawar and the military commanders inside Afghanistan in participating in such a government presents the regime, and Moscow, with a critical challenge. The key question remains whether they will agree to a transfer of power to achieve a political settlement. Rumors since early August—when Foreign Minister Shevardnadze made his third visit to Kabul this year—suggest that Najibullah would step down, leaving Prime Minister Sharq to arrange for an interim government of neutrals. When he visited Moscow in September to sign economic aid agreements, Sharq was given a public relations buildup by the Soviets, fueling further speculation that he had been picked to play a key future role. Expectations were raised in mid-October when the international press gathered in Kabul for an anticipated historic PDPA central committee plenum. After more than a week's delay, during which new Soviet Ambassador Yuliy Vorontsov arrived in Kabul, the plenum produced no dramatic change in the top leadership. However, the attendant arrests and demotions of party dissidents and the subsequent exile of the intransigent Khalq leader, Minister of the Interior Gulabzui, to Moscow as Ambassador, may offer a more flexible PDPA approach to the interim government issue. The Resistance Planning for an Interim Government Leaders of the Afghan resistance movement—both the seven alliance party chiefs in Peshawar, Pakistan, and the commanders inside Afghanistan—have been primarily preoccupied with the military struggle against the Soviets and the PDPA regime. During 1988, however, with the signing of the Geneva accords and the 50% withdrawal in August of Soviet troops, the resistance leadership has paid progressively more attention to pressing political issues. During the weeks preceding the signing of the Geneva accords, the alliance, together with Pakistan, opposed signing the accords before installation of a transitional government in Kabul. The anticipation of a withdrawal settlement, enhanced by Gorbachev's February 5 statement and Najibullah's aggressive campaign for a cease-fire and a coalition government, put pressure on the alliance to develop its own interim government proposal. On January 31, the alliance issued a general statement calling for a government in Afghanistan composed of the resistance, refugees, and ""Afghan Muslims living inside the country."" This latter phrase was as far as the resistance was prepared to go in response to Najibullah's call for a coalition government. As no member of the PDPA would be considered a good Muslim by the resistance, it constituted a rejection of any future role for dedicated PDPA members. Three weeks later, on February 23, the alliance followed up with a more detailed blueprint for a transitional government to take over in Kabul pending national elections. The formula included a supreme council of the seven party leaders, a head of state and government, and a 28-member Cabinet made up of mujahidin, seven refugees, and seven Afghan Muslims inside the country. The alliance also called for a 50-50 division of portfolios between the mujahidin and the seven Afghan Muslims. The alliance was silent on whether the Afghan Muslims should be PDPA members, but it was clear that the resistance leaders were thinking only of those PDPA members who had defected from the regime in the past two years. gees, and seven Muslims ""now living in Afghanistan."" Subsequently, Engineer Ahmad Shah, deputy leader of Abd ul-Rassul Sayyal's [Hihad-i-lslami party, was chosen to head the government. His government eventually included two deputy prime ministers and Cabinet officers from among the different parties. A constitution was adopted that was based exclusively on Koranic law. The Cabinet met several times and sent a team into Afghanistan to examine possible sites for a temporary in-country headquarters. In late June-early July, UN negotiator Cordovez once again visited the region. His mission was to check on UN monitoring of the Geneva accords and to discuss with the various parties his ideas about a future interim government. At a press conference in Islamabad at the end of his visit, Cordovez revealed his proposal for an interim government of neutrals or technocrats, who would call for a cease-fire and organize a Loya Jirga. The latter, a traditional Afghan assembly of acknowledged and respected leaders, would make arrangements for choosing a future permanent government. Cordovez's plan first called for the Najibullah government to step aside. It was publicly rejected by Najibullah and other PDPA representatives and by a number of resistance elements. The Resistance Alliance, in an apparent split decision, voted not to meet with Cordovez during his visit. Pir Sayyid Ahmad Gailani, who was serving as chairman's spokesman of the alliance, indicated in a June 30 press conference that some parties would have welcomed a meeting. Gulbuddin Hikmatyar, who had served as the immediately preceding chairman, held a press conference on July 6 in which he rejected Cordovez's call for a neutral government and for a Loya Jirga, both of which he described as tribal and feudal institutions. He stated that the only solution to Afghanistan's problems lay in general elections. Both Gailani and Hikmatyar revealed that the alliance was then in the process of working out the modalities for elections to establish a council (Shura) composed of representatives from each of Afghanistan's districts as well as refugees. The Shura ultimately would accept or reject the alliance- sponsored Ahmad Shah government and would arrange for general elections after the Soviet departure. Hikmatyar said that the elections for the Shura would be held within 105 days - i.e., by October 19. However, nothing happened until October 31, when new alliance spokesman Burhanuddin Rabbani announced a new, more comprehensive plan for a larger and more broad-based Shura. Under the new plan, in addition to representatives from each of Afghanistan's districts and refugees, a large number of delegates would be nominated from among mujahideen commanders, tribal leaders, and representatives of the expatriate technocrats. The Shura would hold a vote of confidence on the Ahmad Shah provisional government, and if it were rejected, would create another interim government in its place. The alliance, however, has had, and probably will continue to have, difficulty implementing its plans. It is difficult to hold elections for district representatives to a Shura in areas where intense fighting continues. In some cases, local councils of mujahideen commanders might agree on someone to represent the area. A growing number of such local councils have been formed inside Afghanistan to coordinate military operations and also civil administration in areas that have come under mujahideen control. But in other cases, party or tribal competition would make such a consensus impossible. Conceiving and implementing an effective interim government proposal also has been hampered by the differing viewpoints in the alliance, as revealed in the split over whether or not to meet with Cordovez. One longstanding point of contention has been over a possible role in an interim government for the former king, Zahir Shah. However, there appears to be agreement within the alliance on a The alliance that it would be preferable to reach a political settlement before the February 15 deadline for the Soviet troop departure. The Soviet Position and the Taif Talks The Soviets, who probably authored Kabul’s national reconciliation scenario, have steadily backed Najibullah’s calls for a coalition government that would include PDPA representation. They also have insisted that the question of a future government is for the Afghans alone to decide. Thus, they have pushed for the alliance to enter into direct talks with the Kabul regime. The Soviets also had consistently refused to meet with representatives of the alliance, despite the latter's claim that only through such bilateral talks could the Afghan crisis be settled. (One exception had been some unpublicized discussions in Europe with representatives of one of the alliance parties on the prisoner-of-war (POW) issue.) The Kabul government was adamantly opposed to the idea of Moscow talking to the alliance, no doubt fearing that the Soviets might reach agreement independently. Moscow intensified its search for a political solution following the completion of the first phase of the troop withdrawal in mid-August. In October, Vorontrav was sent to Kabul to lend his diplomatic experience to the search. In early December—in a major change in Soviet policy—he was sent to Taif, Saudi Arabia, to meet with the alliance’s current chairman, Burhanuddin Rabbani. Since the decision to meet directly with the alliance, despite Kabul’s objections and Moscow's previous undertaking, Moscow now appears ready to explore all options that could lead to a political settlement. The only agreement to emerge, however, was to continue the talks. Soviet Concerns Over POWs Moscow remains concerned over the fate of its soldiers missing in action (MIA). It estimates that the number of MIAs exceeds 300, although there is no accurate figure regarding how many Soviet MIAs may actually be alive and in the hands of the mujahideen. In response to Soviet charges, the Government of Pakistan said that no Soviet prisoners were on Pakistani territory. Moscow and the resistance declared their readiness to discuss this issue directly. A resistance delegation met with Soviet officials in Islamabad to discuss this issue in November, after which an agreement to exchange prisoners was announced. Afghanistan in the Regional Context Pakistan Pakistan remains the outside nation most affected by events in Afghanistan. As a result of the Soviet invasion and occupation, Pakistan eventually played host to some 3 million refugees and has faced terrorist campaigns and shellings and bombings of its territory. Pakistan also has hosted the leadership of the Afghan resistance and has advocated the mujahideen cause in the United Nations, the Nonaligned Movement (NAM), and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). Pakistan played the key role in the long and tortuous negotiations leading to the Geneva accords. At Geneva, despite considerable pressure from the USSR and the Kabul regime, Pakistan did not relent on points of principle. Pakistani steadfastness was instrumental in getting the Moscow-Kabul side to make considerable concessions. The Soviets, for example, first insisted that 4 years would be required for a withdrawal. They eventually agreed to a 6-month timeframe. Pakistan consistently refused to recognize the PDPA regime and insisted on an indirect proximity talks formula throughout the long years of negotiations. As noted earlier, Islamabad pressed to include a provision in the accords for a neutral interim government to supersede the discredited PDPA regime and end the fighting. While Pakistanis have expressed frustration at the seemingly endless conflict—the millions of refugees as well as the often bloody sabotage bombings, shellings, and aerial bombardments from across the border—they have been remarkably consistent in their support of their government. China's ties to Pakistan are a crucial component of its Afghan policy. The PRC has provided significant aid to Pakistan, including military assistance and economic aid. China also supports the Afghan mujahideen, providing them with weapons and training. China sees the mujahideen as important allies in the fight against Soviet expansionism and has called for their inclusion in any future Afghan government. China has also maintained friendly relations with the Kabul regime, providing them with economic and military aid. However, China has made it clear that its support for the regime is contingent upon Soviet withdrawal and the establishment of a coalition government. In addition to its support for the mujahideen and the Kabul regime, China has also played a role in the Geneva negotiations, hosting talks between the Soviet Union and the mujahideen. China's involvement in the negotiations reflects its desire for a stable and peaceful resolution to the conflict in Afghanistan. Overall, China's policy towards Afghanistan is driven by its strategic interests in the region and its opposition to Soviet expansionism. The PRC supports both the mujahideen and the Kabul regime, but ultimately seeks a peaceful resolution to the conflict through the withdrawal of Soviet troops and the establishment of a coalition government. and calling for the withdrawal of all foreign troops from Afghanistan. The resolution also expressed support for the Afghan resistance and called for the establishment of an Islamic fund to assist the refugees fully supported the Pakistani positions on an interim government and symmetry during the Geneva negotiation process and has worked closely with Pakistan to provide assistance to Afghan refugees. Afghanistan in the International Arena Gaining Islamic and International Credibility The single most important event in Afghanistan's foreign relations during the year was the April 14 signing of the Geneva accords. Najibullah clearly was a reluctant participant and Wakil, who actually signed for the regime at Geneva, even more so. Nevertheless, Najibullah has tried to make the best of it—portraying himself for both domestic and international audiences as the great peacemaker. The message, however, has not been convincing to most observers, who give the resistance mujahideen the credit for Moscow's decision. Conversely, Najibullah's political enemies have been all too eager to let him take the blame for what they see as a Soviet ""sell-out."" Najibullah began the year on a high note, having just returned from a December 1987 trip to Asia, where he met with Indian Prime Minister Gandhi for the first time and also visited Vietnam and Cambodia. In May, Najibullah went again to India on a trip that was heralded by the Kabul media as an expression of confidence by the Indian Government. Najibullah continued his travels in early June with a trip to the United Nations, where he addressed the Special Session on Disarmament, and a visit to Cuba. However, plans to continue on to Czechoslovakia were canceled, presumably because of instability and coup rumors in Kabul. Since then, Najibullah has stayed close to home— except for some probable unpublicized visits to Moscow. Despite these efforts, the regime never has gained international credibility. Few countries outside the communist bloc recognize it as legitimate. Efforts by the regime in 1988 to change its status as an international pariah were largely a failure. Throughout the year, Najibullah has tried assiduously to associate himself and the new government with Islamic tradition and has pushed for expanded international acceptance— particularly in the Islamic world. In March, the PDPA Politburo established an ""Islamic University"" in Kabul; on various occasions Najibullah appeared before the ""Islamic High Consultative Council"" to report on government policies and plans. In late October, the regime sponsored an international Islamic conference in Kabul to commemorate the Prophet Mohammed's birthday. Najibullah once again appealed for a cease-fire and talks with the ""opposition,"" this time suggesting Mecca as a venue. The Kabul Regime and the OIC The Organization of the Islamic Conference declared the Afghan seat vacant at the time of the Soviet invasion. It has since been contested by the resistance and the Kabul regime. Following Gorbachev's February 1988 withdrawal announcement, Kabul embarked on an ambitious plan to convince OIC members that the imminent Soviet withdrawal signaled a basic change in conditions and that the OIC could award its Afghan seat to Kabul at its forthcoming ministerial meeting to be held in Amman from March 21 to 25. Foreign Minister Wakil was dispatched to foreign capitals as part of Kabul's lobbying campaign. Saudi Arabia, location of the OIC's headquarters, was instrumental in rebuffing Kabul's effort. Saudi Arabia has been among the most vigorous of the Arab countries opposed to the Soviet occupation and has helped organize Arab and Muslim states against it. A resistance delegation attended the OIC meeting as observers and presented its case to the delegates. On March 21, in a tacit admission of the campaign's failure, the Afghan Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning discussion of the Afghan issue in Amman as ""unjustifiable and open interference in the internal affairs of an Islamic country."" On March 23, the OIC passed a strong resolution noting the worldwide condemnation of the Soviet occupation and calling for the withdrawal of all foreign troops from Afghanistan. The resolution also expressed support for the Afghan resistance and called for the establishment of an Islamic fund to assist the refugees. reflected in previous UN and OIC resolutions. It called on all OIC members to withhold recognition of the Kabul regime until all Soviet troops were withdrawn and to stop all forms of aid to Kabul. It also commended Pakistan for providing asylum to Afghan refugees, called for an immediate withdrawal of Soviet troops, and deplored Afghan air raids, bombings, and terrorism directed against Pakistan. While praising the resistance for its struggle against Soviet occupation, the conference did not award the vacant Afghan seat to the mujahideen, stating that it would be filled when the fighting had ceased, an acceptable government had been established, and the refugees had returned. It did, however, recommend that conference members establish closer relations with the resistance. Afghanistan in the NAM In 1980s, the Nonaligned Movement held its ministerial from September 5 to 10 at Nicosia, Cyprus, and adopted a consensus resolution on a variety of international issues. The resolution expressed ""deep satisfaction"" at the conclusion of the Geneva accords and commended the United Nations for its efforts but urged that a ""broad-based government"" be established in Afghanistan. This echoed previous NAM declarations which refused to confer legitimacy on the Kabul regime. Expanding Bilateral Relationships During the year, the regime established an embassy in Vienna and gained accreditation to Nicaragua, Cyprus, and Ghana respectively for its ambassadors in Cuba, Moscow, and Ethiopia. Afghanistan and the Media The Kabul regime and the Soviet media have alleged that Western, Pakistani, and Arab military advisers were active in Afghanistan. In October, Kabul claimed that two Americans were killed in combat inside Afghanistan, while in November there were claims of up to 20 Americans at a time fighting in Afghanistan. No evidence has ever been produced, and the United States has termed Kabul's charges as spurious. Kabul and the USSR actively have attempted to prevent reporters from entering the country, except through Kabul's auspices. Seven journalists—one Norwegian, one Japanese, one Australian, one British, one Pakistani, and two Americans—have been killed covering the war, and three have been captured and imprisoned. The Kabul regime has offered sizable cash rewards for the capture or killing of foreign journalists traveling with the mujahideen in an attempt to dissuade other journalists from entering Afghanistan. Two captured journalists were released in 1988. Alain Guillo, a French journalist, captured in October 1987, was tried and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment as a spy. He was released on May 29, 1988. Fausto Biloslavo, an Italian journalist, was captured in November 1987. He was tried in Kabul for ""illegal entry and spying"" and was sentenced to 7 years imprisonment. He was released on June 1, 1988. In both cases, the Kabul regime attempted to obtain legitimacy by manipulating the imprisoned reporters. Both Italy and France have restricted contacts with Kabul and were forced by the incarceration of their nationals to hold talks with Kabul. The journalists were not released until high-level government officials asked Najibullah to ""pardon"" them. These exchanges were given wide coverage in the Soviet and Kabul media. Following the Geneva accords, the Soviets became more responsive to journalists and flew foreign reporters to Qandahar on Soviet planes, allowed them to accompany withdrawing Soviet troops, and gave them free access to Soviet soldiers. This proved to be a unique opportunity for veteran journalists—who had long covered the war only from the resistance side or through Soviet-controlled visits to Kabul—to experience the war from the point of view of the average Soviet soldier. The Soviets' own coverage also began to change. For the first time, the Soviet people were exposed to realistic reports of combat inside Afghanistan and were allowed to learn of the grim and brutal reality of the war. The bloody nature of the conflict. Pre- vious Soviet coverage had been sparse and unenlightening, stressing the suc- cesses of the Red Army and its support from the Afghan people. For the first time Soviet commentators began to dis- cuss the difficulties facing Soviet troops and Afghan resistance to Sovietization. This change in coverage was meant to encourage public support for Gor- bachev's withdrawal decision, shift the blame for the disaster onto the previous regime, and perhaps prepare the Soviet public for impending withdrawal from Afghanistan in the face of continued fighting there. Human Rights and Afghanistan The most serious violations of human rights in Afghanistan have resulted from the disregard of the humanitarian rules of war by Soviet and Kabul regime forces. Soviet Kabul forces continue to kill and injure civilians in retaliation for military success as well as during at- tempts to create secure areas. Tactics used against the civilian population in- clude high-altitude bombing raids, in- discriminate air and artillery attacks, time bombs set to detonate during peak travel hours along popular supply routes, and booby traps cleverly de- signed to attract children. Resistance forces also have been responsible for violent acts which have brought death and injury to noncombatants. Abuses by the Kabul regime and Soviet forces remain widespread—de- spite some amelioration as part of the regime's national reconciliation cam- paign. Najibullah’s government has en- gaged in political killing, abduction, forced conscription, torture, arbitrary arrest, and systematic denial of basic human rights. Thousands of Afghans have been arrested and imprisoned for years without trial and hundreds have been summarily executed or died from mistreatment. Kabul regime press agents often forcibly snatch underage Afghan males from the streets. Parents are seldom notified, and the children simply disappear into the army. Victims have described the system- atic use of torture in regime prisons. Some have alleged the torture was di- rected or observed by Soviet personnel. Imprisoned foreign nationals from a number of countries are denied access to their embassies. The regime does not protect Afghan citizens from arbi- trary arrest. Arrest warrants are not issued, and detainees have been kept imprisoned for years without access to legal assistance, family, or medical care. Najibullah’s “revolutionary jus- tice” system tries, sentences, and sometimes executes prisoners in secret. Food, water, and sanitary facilities are in short supply in Afghanistan’s over- crowded prisons. Many prisoners are chronically ill. Private homes in Afghanistan rou- tinely are searched by government forces. Telephones are tapped and cor- respondence monitored. All media are controlled by the PDPA with no dis- senting opinions allowed. Foreign radio broadcasts are often jammed. Any ex- pression of dissent from PDOPA views or criticism of the Soviet Union can result in imprisonment. Carnes Press: Amnesty International’s May 1987 report on Afghanistan condemned the Kabul Soviet practice of detaining, ex- ecuting, and attacking refugees fleeing to Pakistan. It contains eyewitness ac- counts of attacks on refugees by Soviet and regime troops. The report also at- tacks torture in regime prisons and noted that political prisoners are often forcibly conscripted upon their release from prison, a practice Amnesty Inter- national decries as nothing more than “continued political imprisonment.” Throughout 1987 and into 1988, Am- nesty International received no re- sponse to its numerous requests for information about prisoners. Amnesty International noted that under Najibullah’s national reconcilia- tion program some 1,000 political pris- oners may have been freed. However, regime attacks on civilians did not cease after the program was initiated, and the flow of refugees into Pakistan and Iran continued unabated. The United Nations noted some improvement in the movement of refugees into and out of neighboring countries. In 1985, Felix Ermacora, the UN's special rapporteur on human rights in Afghanistan, again visited both Afghanistan and Pakistan to gather facts and impressions and prepare a written report. Ermacora criticized Afghanistan's new constitution, which he charged was not a ""free act of self- determination,"" did not guarantee a multiparty system, and did not adequately safeguard human rights. He noted that human rights would not be assured until the ""revolutionary tribunals,"" revolutionary prosecutor, and secret police (KHAD) were abolished. Ermacora described the large numbers of refugees as the principal human rights problem facing the country and noted that the presence of Soviet troops was the principal hindrance to their return. For the past several years, the United Nations, despite Soviet efforts to quash debate, has passed annual resolutions on the ""Question of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms in Afghanistan."" These resolutions have been critical of the human rights situation in Afghanistan. The most recent resolution, passed by consensus in December 1984, recognized ""some improvements in some aspects of the human rights situation in Afghanistan"" but expressed deep concern about continuing allegations of torture and ill-treatment of prisoners, continuing disappearances, and the incarceration of political prisoners. It noted that human rights violations ""persist with the same frequency as in the past"" and that civilians are most affected. The Afghan Economy Agriculture and Food Supply Abundant snow and rainfall over the winter months ensured a good spring wheat harvest, helping keep prices of staples down in the first half of 1985. Meat prices registered the largest increases, a reflection of continuing herd attrition from the fighting. The regime for the first time began importing meat from India to feed troops. Some of this meat reached the market, moderating price increases somewhat. Meat prices in Kabul essentially increased by an estimated 75% over 1987 prices, and what little meat was available was of very poor quality. Inflation Inflation continued to increase steadily in 1985 despite a highly publicized government campaign to keep prices down. Food shortages and price increases were more pronounced toward the end of 1985, when fighting closed roads leading to Kabul and Kandahar. Annual inflation reached an estimated 40% (up from an estimated 30-35% inflation rate in 1987). The extensive destruction and depopulation of previously productive agricultural areas near Kabul during 1987 forced merchants to seek fruits and vegetables from farther distances. Potato prices increased sharply because of difficulty in transporting them from the main growing area in central Afghanistan. Prices for firewood also began climbing in the fall as fighting reduced access to forested areas; demand was abnormally high because of a scarcity of kerosene. The regime blamed the kerosene shortage on transportation problems. Continued Depreciation of the Afghani A 25% depreciation of the Afghani during 1985 increased the scarcity of foreign exchange, making commercial imports more expensive. The currency depreciation, and regime efforts to force merchants wishing to trade with private Western firms to first sign barter contracts with the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) organizations, spurred reliance on barter trade with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The sharp depreciation of the Afghani against the U.S. dollar and other Western currencies was fueled, in part, by large hard currency purchases by the regime. Earlier in the year the Afghani rose and fell with reports of progress in the Geneva talks, with merchants buying Afghanis in anticipation of an early refugee return. The decline in the value of the Afghani resumed in earnest after the terms of the Geneva accords were announced in April. The Soviet withdrawal were set. General Economic Performance Agricultural production declined in 1987 according to regime reports and probably fell again in 1988 because of further damage to fields and irrigation systems. Natural gas exports also dropped due to militant activity in gas-producing areas and around the export pipeline to the Soviet Union. In a March 1981 speech to provincial governors and members of the Afghan Council of Ministers, Prime Minister Keshtmand blamed lagging economic activity and exports on a shortage of raw materials and mismanagement by government enterprises. He attributed a sharp decline in hard currency earnings to an absolute decline in Afghan exports and to an increasing reliance on barter trade with CMEA countries. Soviet Aid in 1988 The Soviet Union began instituting aid agreements between individual Soviet republics and Afghan provinces in 1987 to better control aid disbursements and bind the Afghan economy closely to its own. Many of these agreements involve aid to the agricultural sector, particularly flood control and irrigation projects, but they also are used as a conduit for commodity imports, particularly foodstuffs. The number of these aid agreements grew rapidly in 1988, and a significant proportion of Soviet aid is now funneled through them. For example, Laghman Province received shoes, mattresses, soap, salt, wheat, and radios under its aid agreement with the Belorussian S.S.R. Expansion of the Kabul Airport was completed in May with Soviet assistance. As part of an ongoing 10-year, $150-million Soviet aid program to augment Afghan electricity supplies, Kabul was linked to the Soviet power grid in late 1985. UN Humanitarian Effort The Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan have inflicted immense suffering on the Afghan people and left the country with enormous physical destruction. Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed or maimed, and about 3.2 million people have fled to Pakistan and another 2 million to Iran rather than submit to the Soviets and the legitimate Kabul regime. Another 1.2 million people have been internally displaced. Besides the millions of refugees, there has been extensive physical destruction of homes, mosques, roads and bridges, orchards, and irrigation systems. Health and educational systems have been disrupted severely. Mines have been sown indiscriminately over much of the country, rendering many agricultural fields useless in a country where agriculture forms the ""backbone"" of its economy. The size of the problem is such that no single country can provide the resources required to help the Afghan people meet the challenge before them. The demand for expertise and financial aid compel an international response to which the United Nations and its technical and development agencies must provide leadership. The United Nations is responding to this need. In May, the Secretary General appointed a Special Coordinator for Afghan Humanitarian Affairs, Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan. UN agencies have begun drawing up plans and stockpiling food, medicine, and other necessities in anticipation of the return of the refugees. Plans are also being made for the eventual reconstruction of the country. Refugee Repatriation The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) will have chief responsibility for the return of several million Afghans, a repatriation effort that is unprecedented in modern history. The successful repatriation of the refugees will depend on the return of peace and stability. This in turn depends on the timetable of Soviet withdrawal and prospects for political and military stability at both national and provincial levels. Another factor which will influence the refugee return is the speed with which the mines are destroyed or neutralized. Economic opportunities in Pakistan and Iran in comparison with expected opportunities in Afghanistan also will play a role. Finally, the rate of return will be heavily dependent upon the restoration of agricultural productivity, prior to which supply of food from the outside will be essential. Over half of the several million refugees expected to return to Afghanistan following the Soviet withdrawal will be children and young adults. In some border provinces, where the war has greatly disrupted village life, returning refugees and displaced persons will outnumber residents. The heaviest concentration of returning refugees will be in the war-ravaged eastern and southern regions, followed by Herat Province in the west. Refugees in Pakistan The ethnic Pashtuns, who have maintained strong tribal ties despite severe disruption of their lifestyles, include about 80% of the Afghan refugees in Pakistan. Most Pashtuns moved into refugee camps in Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province and Baluchistan from villages within 100 miles of the border. Some refugees have moved back and forth across the border to join the mujahideen and to trade or temporarily return to their farms. Pashtuns should be the first wave of returning refugees because of their fierce independence and close proximity to home. Other ethnic groups who fled from farther away, such as the Hazaras, Tajiks, and Uzbeks, probably will be more cautious in returning. Since the Soviet invasion, the Government of Pakistan has provided generous assistance to the Afghan refugees despite domestic economic strains and international pressures. Most refugees live in camp clusters of mud and straw houses as they would in their home villages. The refugees in Pakistan are allowed to travel outside the camps and to take remunerative jobs. Many of the more than 300 camps scattered along the border region have well-developed and specialized markets that interact with each other as well as with local Pakistani markets. Refugees, where possible, work as traders, laborers, and truck drivers. Their economic stability and access to better medical care than was available in their home villages have resulted in very high fertility rates and relatively low infant mortality rates. Thus more Afghans may return than initially fled. By fall 1988, no significant repatriation had occurred; indeed, refugees are still fleeing areas of heavy fighting. Most Afghans in Pakistan probably will wait until late spring or early summer 1989 to return home because of continued instability in the eastern and southern regions. The border area still offers a less-than-hospitable homecoming, despite a reduced Soviet presence, because of widespread distribution of landmines and fierce fighting between the mujahideen and Kabul regime forces in and around towns and cities. As the border areas become more secure, refugees will begin returning to their villages to repair homes and irrigation ditches and prepare abandoned farmland for the first planting next spring. Refugees in Iran The return of Afghan refugees from Iran is much harder to predict than that from Pakistan. They are more spatially diffused and have become more integrated into the host country economy than their fellow refugees in Pakistan. Although Iran may have as many as 2 million Afghans, about half are Persian-speaking economic migrants who may not return in the next couple of years unless Iran's economy continues to nose dive. Most of the estimated 1 million Afghan refugees in Iran are expected to return to the western provinces of Herat and Farah. Rural Stability and Urbanization Afghanistan's rural population has fallen sharply since the Soviet occupation. Those villagers who did not flee the country often migrated to cities such as Kabul, Kandahar, and Herat. All of the towns and cities in the southern and eastern provinces have been damaged by the war and a few have been completely deserted. Some Afghans, rather than become refugees, migrated to Kabul which, as a result, has more than quadrupled in size. doubled its population (to about 2 million). Internally displaced Afghans have proven to be a serious problem. While refugees receive considerable attention from relief agencies, displaced persons often are overlooked. Having migrated to cities, many are housed in urban slums in substandard conditions and are suffering from unemployment and malnutrition. There are some indications that they are in worse condition than the refugees. This group will require considerable attention as the country reconstructs. Restoring displaced persons and refugees in their former villages, replanting crops, restoring irrigation canals, and reorganizing marketing systems will be major obstacles to rural stability and will require substantial foreign assistance. Peaceful resettlement also may be hindered by conflicts over land tenure between those who stayed and those returning. Finally, the threat of food shortages or the reality of entrenched rural poverty, coming after 5 years of relief assistance, may push some refugees and displaced persons to cities that will be hard pressed to accommodate them. Infrastructure and Agriculture Although much infrastructural damage can be repaired with local material and labor, major reconstruction projects, such as rebuilding bridges and main highways, will require international assistance and may take several years. Along with infrastructural damage and labor shortages, land abandonment has been blamed for much of the decline in agricultural productivity within Afghanistan. If traditional staples, particularly wheat and rice, once again are to support the local population, attention must be paid not only to the provision of good seed, fertilizer, and livestock but also to marketing systems that hold the key to regional development. If this effort fails, farmers returning to the eastern and southern provinces may resort to opium cultivation to provide them with much- needed income during the first few years. The International Relief Effort An extensive rural development program—focusing on basic needs, agricultural production, and marketing systems—will be required over the next few years to avert famine and uncontrolled migrations to cities. But before that long-term development effort can take place, the UNHCR and several governmental and voluntary agencies face the challenge of assisting several million poor, but proud, Afghans in returning home. Although the United Nations has contingency plans for repatriation, including monitoring stations and food rations through the first harvest, it will be unable to control when and where the refugees go or to provide the major infrastructural assistance that will be needed. Over the next year, repatriation and relief efforts probably will be directed at the southern and eastern provinces. These provinces will face a difficult task absorbing the upcoming influx, but their relatively close proximity to refugee camps and tribal and economic links among Pushtuns on both sides of the border should ease the transition period. U.S. Policy Geneva Accords Since Soviet forces invaded Afghanistan in December 1979, their prompt and complete withdrawal has been viewed by the United States as the single most important factor in solving the Afghanistan crisis. The Geneva accords signed on April 14, 1988, provided a timetable for that goal. Their centerpiece is the stipulation that all Soviet troops must be removed from Afghanistan no later than February 15, 1989. The accords constitute a first step toward resolving the Afghan conflict. In this regard, the withdrawal of Soviet troops will set the stage for the return of the refugees to a free, sovereign, and nonaligned Afghanistan, where they may decide their own future free from outside interference. On August 15, 1988, the Soviet Union met the first benchmark stipulated in the agreements by essentially completing the withdrawal of 50% of its forces from Afghanistan. medical treatment. The United States fully expects the Soviet Union to adhere to its commitment at Geneva by withdrawing its forces completely from Afghanistan no later than the February 15, 1989, deadline given in the accords, When the United States agreed along with the Soviet Union to become a co-guarantor of the agreements, it insisted that the obligations of the guarantors must be balanced and symmetrical. The United States was prepared to accept a joint U.S.-Soviet moratorium on further military supplies to parties in Afghanistan for a limited period of time. The Soviets, however, refused to accept such an arrangement, claiming a right to continue furnishing military hardware to their clients in Kabul. Consequently, the United States insisted that it would retain and exercise the right, consistent with its own obligations as a guarantor, to provide military assistance to parties in Afghanistan. The United States added that it was prepared to exercise restraint in providing military assistance should the Soviet Union do so as well. Unfortunately, the Soviet Union since has chosen not only to continue supplying the Kabul regime with military goods but also to increase the scale and breadth of its assistance, providing the PDPA regime with weaponry and technology heretofore unavailable to it. The United States regards direct Soviet-resistance talks as a positive development and supports a peaceful settlement of the Afghan conflict involving genuine Afghan self-determination. The form of a future government, and the modalities for choosing it, are for the Afghans themselves to decide. The United States backs no parties or individuals in this process. Humanitarian Assistance The United States supports the United Nations as it prepares for the task of resettlement of millions of Afghan refugees, Moreover, it will cooperate fully with the resettlement and reconstruction effort under the direction of Sadruddin Aga Khan, the UN coordinator for Afghan relief. From 1980 to 1988, the U.S. Government has provided approximately $750 million in humanitarian aid for the Afghans through multilateral and bilateral channels. These funds helped provide food and health care, housing, education, and vocational training. In fiscal year (FY) 1989, the United States will provide an additional $156 million in aid. Beginning in 1985, the U.S. Government, through the Agency for International Development (AID) has administered a cross-border humanitarian assistance program to assist the Afghan people in countering the systematic destruction of their crops, livestock, and property inflicted by the Soviet army. This program also provides Afghans with the means to survive in their country and helps them resist the pressures that have forced millions of their compatriots to become refugees in Pakistan. U.S. support is channeled through the various technical committees of the Afghan Resistance Alliance to support their efforts to provide education, health, and agricultural services inside Afghanistan. The U.S. Government also channels support through American and European private voluntary agencies. The alliance technical committees and the private voluntary agencies make it possible to deliver foodstuffs, textbooks, medicines, agricultural equipment, and livestock to war-affected people still inside Afghanistan who need them most. For FY 1989, cross-border humanitarian assistance is valued at $71.74 million plus an additional $23 million in emergency refugee and migration assistance funds designated by the Congress to be administered under the cross-border program. In addition, AID and the Department of Defense provide excess humanitarian goods as well as help transport food, medicines, and clothing donated to the alliance by private groups in the United States. As part of the same program, Afghans wounded in the war are transported to the United States, Europe, and the Middle East for free medical treatment. Medical treatment. As of July 31, 1988, more than 600 patients had been placed worldwide. Published by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Public Affairs.

The landed families are SECRET generally pro-American, but are also strongly national- istic and are determined to maintain their control. The landed families have a strong vested interest in the status quo, and have resisted change. They have been able to use their control of the economy to maintain their political power, but are not averse to using the military to support the status quo. The second principal force is the military which has been a major factor in Philippine politics since independence. The military is largely composed of officers drawn from the landed families. The military is generally pro-American and anti-Communist, but is also strongly nationalistic and has been suspicious of the landed families. The military has been used in the past to support the landed families and to suppress dissent. The third force is represented by the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). The CPP is a small group of highly dedicated and disciplined revolutionaries who have been able to exploit the poverty and dissatis- faction of the vast majority of the population, particu- larly in the rural areas. The CPP is strongly anti- American, and is committed to the overthrow of the government and the establishment of a Communist state in the Philippines. The CPP has been able to build a small but effective guerrilla force which has been able to operate in many areas of the Philippines. The CPP has also been able to make inroads into the labor movement and the student movement, and has been able to build an effective propaganda apparatus. The CPP is also active in the legal political process, and has been able to win some support from liberal and radical elements. The fourth force is represented by the legal political opposition. The legal political opposition is made up of a variety of groups and individuals ranging from conservative to radical. The legal political opposition has been able to exploit the dissatisfaction of the population with the status quo, and has been able to build a substantial following. The legal political opposition is generally pro- American, but is also strongly nationalistic and is committed to reform of the system. SECRET The fifth force is represented by the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is a powerful institution in the Philippines. The Catholic Church is generally pro-American, but is also strongly nationalistic and is committed to social reform. The Catholic Church has been a major factor in the growth of the legal political opposition, and has been able to build a strong following among the urban poor. The Catholic Church has also been active in the rural areas, and has been able to build a network of rural parish workers. The sixth force is represented by the urban poor, who constitute a growing and potentially explosive element in Philippine society. The urban poor are largely made up of rural migrants who have been unable to find jobs or land in the cities. The urban poor are generally pro-American, but are also strongly nationalistic and are committed to social reform. The urban poor have been exploited by the CPP and the legal political opposition, and have been a major factor in the growth of these groups. The seventh force is represented by the rural poor, who constitute a large majority of the popula- tion. The rural poor are largely made up of landless peasants and tenant farmers who are living in extreme poverty. The rural poor are generally pro-American, but are also strongly nationalistic and are committed to social reform. The rural poor have been exploited by the CPP and the legal political opposition, and have been a major factor in the growth of these groups. The eighth force is represented by the Moros, who constitute a large minority in the Philippines. The Moros are largely Moslems who live in the southern islands of the Philippines. The Moros are generally pro-American, but are also strongly nationalistic and are committed to the establishment of a separate Moslem state. The Moros have been exploited by the CPP and the legal political opposition, and have been a major factor in the growth of these groups. SECRET The ninth force is represented by the Chinese, who constitute a large minority in the Philippines. The Chinese are generally pro-American, but are also strongly nationalistic and are committed to the pro- tection of their economic interests. The Chinese have been able to build a strong economic base in the Philippines, but have been subjected to discrimination and harassment by the government and by other groups. The Chinese have been able to use their economic power to exert political influence, and have been a major factor in the growth of the legal political opposition. The tenth force is represented by the United States. The United States is generally regarded as a friend and ally by most Filipinos. The United States has been able to exert considerable influence on the Philippines, but has also been the target of anti- American propaganda and demonstrations. The United States has been able to use its economic and military aid programs to exert political influence, but has also been subjected to criticism and pressure from various groups. The eleventh force is represented by the Soviet Union and Communist China. The Soviet Union and Communist China are both regarded with suspicion and hostility by most Filipinos. The Soviet Union and Communist China have been able to exploit the anti- American sentiments of the CPP and other groups, but have been unable to build a significant following. The Soviet Union and Communist China have also been unable to exert any significant influence on the Philippines. The twelfth force is represented by the non- Communist countries of Asia. The non-Communist countries of Asia are generally regarded as friends and allies by the Philippines. The non-Communist countries of Asia have been able to exert considerable influence on the Philippines, and have been able to win support for their policies and programs. The non-Communist countries of Asia have also been able to use their economic and military aid programs to exert political influence, and have been able to counter the propaganda and influence of the Soviet Union and Communist China. SECRET The thirteenth force is represented by the international Communist movement. The international Communist movement is generally regarded with suspicion and hostility by most Filipinos. The international Communist movement has been able to exploit the anti- American sentiments of the CPP and other groups, but has been unable to build a significant following. The international Communist movement has also been unable to exert any significant influence on the Philippines. The fourteenth force is represented by the international non-Communist movement. The international non-Communist movement is generally regarded as a friend and ally by most Filipinos. The international non-Communist movement has been able to exert considerable influence on the Philippines, and has been able to win support for its policies and programs. The international non-Communist movement has also been able to use its economic and technical assistance programs to 500 wealthy traditional families, whose entrenched privilege is largely rooted in the possession of land. An opposing force is the rising upper middle class of entrepreneurs and professionals of Filipino, Chinese and mixed extraction, which challenges the social and political monopoly of the traditional elite. A lower middle class is forming in the larger towns. The rural population is at the bottom of the social structure, particularly its tenant and agricultural labor portion; but a growing class of city unemployed is also forming at the base. These remain thus far caught in a cycle of poverty and deprivation. Politically independent for only nineteen years and seeking their own distinct identity, the Filipinos are acutely sensitive to any implications that the United States takes them for granted or fails to regard them as equal partners. The Philippines has reason to be proud of its political and cultural development but it is also highly aware of its many economic and social problems. With considerable economic potential, but in the past not always blessed with responsible political leadership, and beset by corruption and gross inequities in the distribution of wealth, Philippine internal development has been uneven at a time when its rate of population growth is among the highest in the world. B. US Interests By almost every criterion for policy development, the Philippines constitute an area of key interest to the US in Asia. 1. Strategic Situated athwart the sea lanes connecting the Southwest Pacific with the South China Sea, and stretching northward from Borneo and Sulawesi to the south of Taiwan, the Philippine archipelago occupies a key location in the chain of offshore islands along the eastern periphery of the Asian land mass. Control of this chain by forces friendly to the US continues to be essential to maintain the US strategic posture in the Pacific, not only to ensure the outward projection of US power in the Far East but also to protect the westward oceanic approaches to the US. Our access, presence and relative freedom of operations in the Philippines provide an essential element of support in our efforts to weaken and confine the extension of Asian Communist power and influence--as well as potentially in Southeast Asia. The sizeable military establishments which we maintain in the Philippines play an essential role in the defensive system we have erected in Southeast Asia. Our bases not only assist in the protection of the Philippines proper but serve as an anchor for the outward projection of US power in maintaining the security of the southeast corner of Asia and the Southwest Pacific area. The Philippine armed forces are called upon to play a substantial role in the defense of the Philippines and, potentially, in that of Southeast Asia. 2. Political As the oldest and one of the only two operating democracies in Southeast Asia, the Philippines presents a sharp antithesis of the traditional oligarchies and military and radical nationalist dictatorships now tending to prevail in the region. From the point of view of cultural exchange, and of information and propaganda, the Philippines provides us with a basically receptive audience for the continued dissemination of our system of values. Our support of the Philippines is not doubted in any part of Asia and, should it come to falter, the consequences upon the foreign calculus of our determination to maintain the US presence, power and influence in the Southwest Pacific would be severe and immediate. This is recognized in our treaty commitments to the Philippines; it was reiterated recently in the following words of the communique issued at the conclusion of President Macapagal's state visit to President Johnson. to encourage a responsible and constructive role for the Philippines in regional and world affairs. 5. Maintain and strengthen economic and military cooperation and assistance programs designed to promote economic development and social progress, and to strengthen the defense capabilities of the Philippines in the face of internal and external threats. 6. Promote and protect the rights and welfare of US citizens and business interests in the Philippines, on, October 5-6, 1964: ""Any armed attack against the Philippines would be regarded as an attack against the US forces stationed there and against the US and would instantly be repelled"". 3. Direct Interests In a narrower conception of interest, the US maintains in the Philippines a commercial investment which, at over $400 million, is our third largest in the Far East, after Australia and Japan. The resident American community of some 25,000 is one of our largest in the Far East. US exports to the Philippines in 1964 totaled $360 million, making the Philippines our third best customer in the Far East, after Japan and Australia. In the same year, imports from the Philippines amounted to $387 million, including primary products upon which US processors have in some instances become almost exclusively dependent. Our total trade with the Philippines, fourth largest in all Asia (after Japan, India and Australia), may be expected to grow if the economy continues to expand, a proper climate for foreign business is maintained, and the Philippines adopts a liberal trade policy. Since the end of World War II, we have provided the Republic of the Philippines a round total of approximately $1.5 billion in economic aid and $0.5 billion in military assistance of all kinds. During this period we have continued to make direct payments of substantial benefits to some 100,000 veterans and dependents of veterans of the Philippine and US armed forces in the Philippines--a tie and obligation we have nowhere else in the region. 4. Continued Support for the US Perhaps most important, the Filipino people have repeatedly demonstrated in the past that, across barriers of ocean and of race, this is one country in the Far East where Americans can feel safe and, in a sense, ""at home""; where US policies have been broadly supported and our motivations accepted and understood. Generations are gradually changing, the memories of shared sacrifices are growing dimmer in the Philippines and in the US, and irritations have occasionally marred our relations. Yet in the enduring support and goodwill of the Filipino people we have a priceless asset in Asia, the preservation of which is worth our maximum efforts. C. US Objectives Our over-all objective for the period under consideration continues to be to preserve the Philippines as an independent and democratic nation, friendly to the US, and maintaining a foreign and defense policy in general alignment with our own. To this end, our policy objectives for 1966-1970 are as follows: 1. Stimulate and encourage the leadership stratum in Philippine society further to extend its sense of the national - as against the sectional, family or partisan - interest, and its devotion to and competence to direct institutions established to further the general interest. 2. Encourage and as appropriate assist a process of political growth which will provide a constantly expanding base of popular participation, growing depersonalization of the political process, increasing maturity and self-discipline in attitudes of and toward government, and greater decentralization of responsibil- ity. 3. Encourage among Filipino leaders and people a responsible and self-reliant sense of independence and national spirit, to replace lingering quasi-filial tendencies of excessive dependence on the US. At the same time, seek to reduce negative and recriminating outlooks of ill-directed nationalism and to keep at bay tendencies toward chauvinism and attraction to less desirable models of radical nationalist Asian societies. 4. Adjust to inevitable attitudes of greater independence in Philippine foreign policy, but continue to encourage a responsible and constructive role for the Philippines in regional and world affairs. 5. Maintain and strengthen economic and military cooperation and assistance programs designed to promote economic development and social progress, and to strengthen the defense capabilities of the Philippines in the face of internal and external threats. 6. Promote and protect the rights and welfare of US citizens and business interests in the Philippines, 12. Continue to aim for, and thus to build the elements of, an enduring partnership between the Philippines and the US, and as part of this process, actively engage in cultural and educational exchanges to promote mutual understanding and appreciation between the two nations. Encourage the G.O.P. to promote and protect human rights and democratic values, and assist in efforts to combat corruption and promote good governance. Strengthen economic ties through increased trade and investment, and support the Philippines in its efforts to diversify its economy and reduce dependency on a single industry. Encourage the Philippines to play a more active role in regional and global affairs, and support its efforts to promote peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region. s of its rights and responsibilities. The Philippine economy has made great strides in recent years. The rate of economic growth has been impressive, but it is still not clear that the gains are being widely shared. The rate of population growth continues to be high, and the population is now over 40 million. The economy is under considerable strain as a result of the rapid population growth. The country is heavily dependent upon the export of a few commodities, and the economy is vulnerable to external shocks. The economy is also vulnerable to internal shocks, such as the HUK rebellion, which is a symptom of the problems of a rapidly expanding population and of inequitable distribution of the fruits of economic growth. The Philippine Government has been aware of these problems, and has been seeking ways to deal with them. The results of these efforts are not yet clear. The Philippine Government has been concerned about the problems of internal and external security. It has been working to strengthen its armed forces, and to develop a strong military establishment. It has also been working to improve its internal security forces. The Philippine Government has been particularly concerned about the HUK rebellion, which has been a major problem since World War II. The rebellion has been a symptom of the problems of a rapidly expanding population and of inequitable distribution of the fruits of economic growth. The Philippine Government has been working to deal with these problems, and has had some success. The rebellion has been reduced in intensity, but it has not been eliminated. The Philippine Government has also been concerned about the external military threat. It has been working to develop a strong military establishment to defend the country against the threat of invasion. The Philippine Government has been particularly concerned about the threat from Communist China, which has been a major problem since World War II. The threat has been increased by the Chinese intervention in Korea, and by the continued presence of Chinese forces on Taiwan. The Philippine Government has been working to deal with this problem, and has had some success. The armed forces of the Philippines have been strengthened, and the country is now better able to defend itself against external aggression. In conclusion, the Philippines has made great strides since independence, but it still faces many problems. The political system is still developing, and the economy is still vulnerable to external and internal shocks. The country is also facing serious problems of internal and external security, which will require continued attention and effort. As the Philippines moves forward, it is important that it maintains a strong and stable relationship with the United States, which can provide valuable support and assistance in dealing with these challenges. delegation to Congress were also evident in the Nacionalists, The campaign was marked by the usual charges and counter- charges of fraud, intimidation, and violence, with Marcos eventually emerging victorious and Macapagal graciously bowing out. The Philippines is of all the Cravings and goals of a democratic system. Although represented by leaders who are given to oratorical flourish and by an extremely outspoken and often irresponsible press, the population is by and large docile, happy to accept life as it comes, and perhaps too ready to condone moral weakness in others in the expectation of similar treatment in return. Up to the present, the disruptive elements so often found in younger democracies--intellectual radicals, student activists who are prepared to take up this or that cause, military strongmen--have been slow to gain attention and influence. Somewhat ominously, this condition is now changing. See the Basics On the economic side, many of the requirements for sustained growth have now been present for some time, there are basic factors of strength, and substantial areas of hope--and of real effort. Nonetheless, the economy has not reached the desired growth rates, the country is not yet in the early stages of takeoff, and basic unresolved problems remain. The economy is now growing at a rate--between 4 and 5 percent--which might be just tolerable were it not for the population growth rate at an extraordinarily excessive 3.3 to 3.5 percent (the statistics are uncertain). Moreover, the growth process is subject to profound distortions and perversions in terms of any examination which is objective by Western standards in judging development. Growth in agricultural productivity and rural socio- economic change are undesirably slow; real income for wage earning groups in both industry and agriculture has been declining; while the problem of unemployment, particularly in the larger cities, magnifies. The Philippines is beset by an antiquated and wholly insufficient transport and communications system; lack of irrigation, dams, roads, and infrastructure projects of all kinds; increasingly frequent rice shortages associated with extremely low agricultural productivity and distribution deficiencies; an uncertain balance-of- payments and international reserve position, constantly subject to ""raiding"" through excessive borrowing during election campaigns; insufficient local savings available for investment, and an insufficiently attractive climate for foreign capital in the past few years. Current Trends The early promise of the Macapagal administration, which took office in January 1962, was not fulfilled. It started strongly with currency decontrol which led to falling prices and rapid stabilization of the economy, and followed this up with a hastily planned but enthusiastically supported Five-Year Socio-Economic Program. By mid-1963, however, it had ground to a virtual halt in terms of real accomplishments. Flagrant tendencies of corruption, favoritism, and lack of imagination and zeal on the part of public officials quickly reasserted themselves and led to serious disappointment of many of the younger and more modernist elements of the political leadership. Seeking above all a society which moves and an economy which performs, these elements have been increasingly yearning to rally around a new party formation or to accomplish the outright takeover of one of the present major parties. Macapagal campaigned earnestly for reelection on a platform which promised continued concern for social welfare and development. While he did not in the last two years of his administration have a majority of both houses, he lacked in terms of personal leadership in Congress and seemed content to rely on a record of non-accomplishment, fixing the blame for it on the politicians. The Nacionalista opposition--headed for the 1965 elections by Senate President Ferdinand Marcos-- placed the blame back squarely on the President and what was termed his ""do-nothing"" administration. The tendencies to passivity, corruption, and even outright dishonesty discernible on the Liberal side were also evident in the Nacionalists. The campaign was marked by the usual charges and countercharges of fraud, intimidation, and violence, with Marcos eventually emerging victorious and Macapagal graciously bowing out. ions The United States and the Philippines have a long history of close ties, dating back to the early 20th century when the Philippines was a US colony. After gaining independence in 1946, the Philippines remained a strong ally of the United States, particularly during the Cold War era. However, in recent years, the relationship between the two countries has become more complicated and strained. One major factor in the current state of US-Philippine relations is the election of President Rodrigo Duterte in 2016. Duterte has taken a more independent stance from the United States, seeking closer ties with China and distancing himself from traditional US allies in the region. He has also been critical of US policies, such as the War on Drugs, and has expressed a desire to decrease US military presence in the Philippines. Additionally, there have been tensions over trade issues, such as the US withdrawal from the Trans- Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the imposition of tariffs on Philippine exports. There have also been concerns over human rights violations in the Philippines, which have strained the relationship between the two countries. Despite these challenges, the United States and the Philippines continue to have strong economic, military, and cultural ties. The two countries are bound by a Mutual Defense Treaty, and the United States remains one of the top trading partners and sources of foreign direct investment for the Philippines. The two countries also have a long history of cultural exchange, with many Filipinos living and working in the United States and vice versa. Overall, while there are certainly challenges in the current state of US-Philippine relations, the two countries continue to have a strong and important relationship that is likely to endure in the future. ement of October 1959. ions Since the establishment of Philippine independence, in 1946, the Philippines and the United States have reaffirmed their close mutual ties in a series of formal, binding agreements. Through the Military Bases Agreement of 1947 (now undergoing review), the Military Assistance Agreements of 1947 and 1955, the Mutual Security Treaty of 1951, and the multilateral Manila (SEATO) Pact of 1954, the US has undertaken major responsibility for the external defense of the Philippines. Through the US-Philippine Trade Agreement of 1947, as revised by the (Laurel-Langley) Trade Agreement of 1955, both countries agreed on a period of gradual transition from special to normal trade relationships, which is to last until 1974. Beyond these formal ties, an informal relationship of a very special character exists. The Filipinos have continued to look to the United States for guidance in many fields. On the other hand, Americans generally assume that they have a particular responsibility for their ex-colony. The majority of Filipino people and leaders continue to believe that their close relationship with the US should be preserved and strengthened; and the great majority of those who criticize the United States for some of its policies in the Philippines are pro-American in terms of the East-West struggle. Articulate Filipino political leaders, however, are now pressuring for change, for improvement of the Philippine position in the various treaties and agreements with the US, and for a loosening of some of the ties between the two countries. Behind their attitude lie heightening nationalism; a continued search for national identity based on changing generations, values and aspirations; an uncertain but increasing desire to seek a more Asian orientation; a sense of growing Chinese power and doubts of US capability or intent to cope with it; and an increasing desire to see modifications in the relationship in terms of greater recognition of Philippine as against US interests. The Philippine Congress and Government are presently reviewing major aspects of Philippine-US relationships and attempting to evolve policies that will more nearly express their current concepts of Philippine self-interest. There have been problems of jurisdiction over American military on the US bases, and of their protection against unlawful intrusions by Filipinos, and these have given rise to Philippine charges of injustice and unequal treatment. Moreover, the Philippines desires to ensure that appropriate consultation take place on the uses which are made of the bases in US strategy in the Far East. Dissatisfaction has also been expressed with the level and character of US military assistance to the Philippine forces, as well as more generally with an alleged tendency on the part of the US to neglect the country compared to others (especially nonaligned powers) in terms of US aid. There is often impatience with the conditions of aid and the requirements for substantiation of applications for development loans on concessional terms. Recent irritations in bilateral relations have been caused by unexpected application of the Retail Trade Act to American firms long established in the Philippines but unable fully to satisfy the requirements of the Act; and by reiterated demands on the part of elements of the Philippine press and public that the US clarify its intentions with respect to the so-called ""parity"" provision of the Constitution and of the Laurel-Langley Trade Agreement, giving US citizens rights equal to those of Filipinos in the exploitation of public utilities and natural resources. Our intention not to seek extension of this provision beyond 1974 was made clear in an official statement of October 1959. Believed by the Filipinos -- must be redefined. Statement issued in Manila on March 9, 1965. Among other present problems remaining to be resolved are veterans' claims, requests for special consideration on coconut and sugar quotas, and for additional air routes. [Indicative also of continuing problems in our relations are occasional official American tendencies to impetuousness when confronted with unfair and unjust charges often made by some sectors of the public and especially of the extremely unrestrained Philippine press. More fundamentally, deteriorating conditions of law and order in the country--including the areas around US bases--and continued stagnation of the Philippine public sector in terms of carrying out essential programs and developmental projects, are subjects of growing American concern.

The US, therefore, must continue to provide military assistance, but in a manner which will encourage the Philippine government to increase its own efforts and to exercise greater responsibility for its own defense. The US must also be prepared to consider requests for additional assistance, such as providing more sophisticated weapons and training for the Philippine armed forces. Recalled when it seems absent from our considerations - must be reviewed with appreciation for the interrelationship between economic, political and security considerations. Both future political stability and economic development in the Philippines depend in large part on meeting the insistent complex of problems involved in bringing about significant rural change and development. At the same time, the lively but distorted and in many respects weak private industrial sector now developing largely in the urban centers needs capital, managerial skills, markets, new sources of sustenance and of growth. The linkage of the countryside and of the industrial sector - to provide production incentives, employment opportunities, and increasing income for the farmers - is crucial for economic development. The US must determine how it can best stimulate, assist and further this process, particularly in the face of prolonged stagnation on the part of the Philippine public sector. What further can be done to revitalize and energize the latter, to add to the presently sorely lacking basic infrastructure of the country? Furthermore, the US cannot ignore the growing and vexing problem of excessive population growth, threatening to devour the progress already made and to compound the future problems. Both the Philippines and the US confront the need to develop rational programs in their trade and investment which will stimulate maximum use of Philippine and US capital in economic expansion, and at the same time protect Philippine economic independence and self-reliance. The US will have to determine what pattern of trading relationships will best accord with its own and Philippine needs in the transitional stage to 1974, and what patterns in longer range partnership. In the process, the US should guard against confusing its national interest with that of its nationals; but seek adjustments or replacements of current arrangements in trade and investment which would, in the longer range perspective, best serve its overall interests. A key issue here is the timing and the stance we adopt in specific negotiations to revise or replace the Laurel-Langley Agreement. The problem of increasing deterioration of law and order in the larger cities and of security in some parts of the countryside is already assuming larger proportions. When regarded in combination with traditional proclivities to graft and corruption, to smuggling and tax evasion, and to reliance on private possession of means of violence for protection or compulsion, this situation is cause for concern and subject to exploitation by potentially insurgent groups. The US should regularly reexamine the adequacy of Philippine capabilities to cope with its internal security, particularly because a grave GOP weakening in this respect would threaten the continued and stable operations of US military installations. Moreover, the threat from Communist China may grow in function of mainland developments. Currently, conventional Philippine combat capabilities are only minimal. The military establishment of the Philippines is small and undermanned, and its equipment is limited and outdated. The US, therefore, must continue to provide military assistance, but in a manner which will encourage the Philippine government to increase its own efforts and to exercise greater responsibility for its own defense. The US must also be prepared to consider requests for additional assistance, such as providing more sophisticated weapons and training for the Philippine armed forces. that they may be able to buy more of the goods and services which the cities can produce; develop a stronger industrial base; and expand its foreign trade and investment. This would provide the economic base for the development of a more mature and responsible political system. 7. The US expects the Philippines to continue to support the US in the United Nations and other international organizations, and to continue to develop its own capabilities to contribute to the free world's security and prosperity. It is inadequately supported by the Philippine Government, which is a major reason for its lack of combat readiness. Its capabilities and resources are increasingly sapped by political interference, lowering morale and lack of funds. The US therefore faces a major task in continuing to seek ways of improving the utilization of MAP equipment -- as well as in clarifying its own commitments and in imparting a clear sense of purpose to the AFP. Finally, taking into account possible changes in strategic doctrine as well as our own evolving posture with regard to the Asian mainland and periphery, the US must determine the reasonable priority of its continued possession of military bases in the Philippines and deduce from this the reasonable cost it must be prepared and may be required to pay in terms of harmonizing its own requirements with Philippine attitudes and demands. III. US STRATEGY FOR NEXT 3-5 YEARS A. Desired Course of Philippine Evolution 1. The US desires to see a Philippine leadership emerge which is able to rise above the strong tides of personal interests and family loyalties to identify with national-level well-being and proper national interests; and which has the executive competence required to match the complexities of modern government, of economic development, and of the judgment of security threats. 2. There must be strengthening of the popular acceptance of representative government founded on honest elections; increased institutionalization of political parties; a maturing of the popular conceptions of government -- away from the attitude that it is a paternalistic provider of jobs and other resources for those with best access to it -- and of democracy, to include not only freedom, but responsibility (e.g. tax collection) and self-discipline (e.g. obedience to law); greater delegation of responsibility to provincial and local levels of government; and development of the kind of nationalism in which national pride, security in one's national identity, and identification with the nation's well-being provide a sufficiently strong collective sense of purpose and responsibility. 3. Filipinos must achieve competence in both the techniques and logic of management, and in the ethic of management for the public good. Government bureaus must be able to collect taxes as appropriate, make program decisions with reasonable competence, and pursue the execution of their programs in a reasonably legal and rational way; enhanced managerial performance is also needed at the provincial and local level. 4. In its relations with the United States, the Philippines should shed the quasi-filial tendencies which characterized the first years of independence, and the negative recriminating outlooks of ill-directed nationalism. 5. While the long-range goal is the complete normalization of relations, a realistic short-range estimate of the situation in Southeast Asia makes a degree of continuing ""special relationship"" probably inevitable to assure a dependable and cooperative base for the execution of US responsibilities in the area. 6. In its other external relationships, the Philippines should mature in its knowledge of its Asian neighbors and appreciation for the consequences of its policies and activities in Asia; retain its determination to prevent further spread of Communism in the area; maintain its identity as Southeast Asia's most western-oriented nation, and provide a measure of leadership for the area; strengthen its role as a responsible participant in the international community, contributing its share of resources in maintaining security in Asia. 7. The US wishes to see the Philippines achieve balanced and self-sustained economic growth -- and thus, greatly increase agricultural production to enhance the rural population's purchasing power, so that they may be able to buy more of the goods and services which the cities can produce; develop a stronger industrial base; and expand its foreign trade and investment. This would provide the economic base for the development of a more mature and responsible political system. 8. The US expects the Philippines to continue to support the US in the United Nations and other international organizations, and to continue to develop its own capabilities to contribute to the free world's security and prosperity. e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e Strong reservations in other countries. However, the US must at the same time contend with perhaps quite unique liabilities in the Philippines. 1. Filipinos are constantly ambivalent about the US. In the Filipino view, American motives are initially assumed to be simon pure but, on closer examination, are generally found to reveal elements of self-interest. This elicits Philippine attitudes of doubt that Philippine interests are being served. Unilateral US actions involving the Philippines lead to the attitude that the Philippines is ""being taken for granted."" If, however, discussions are held beforehand, fears of lending substance to accusations of subservience to the US sometimes delay Philippine assent to US views. 2. The very fact that we are so thoroughly counted on limits our ability to reduce, revise, or otherwise modify our extension of a variety of benefits to the Philippines. 3. In rational terms, the US market is indeed of vital importance to certain Philippine producers, and American investment and business activity is of major importance to Philippine economic development. Yet the operational framework for US business and capital in the Philippines tends to be inspired less by rational considerations than by emotional drives for economic independence. These drives are in large part predicated on the belief that the long period of American economic involvement in the Philippines left the country too exclusively dependent on raw material exports and on imports from the US. The generally prevailing tendency, therefore, is toward curbing rather than inviting the expansion of American business activity. 4. Philippine dependence on US forces for their external security tends to produce a climate in which Philippine contributions toward ensuring their own national defense are repeatedly insufficient. Reliance on the US tends to remove the sense of need for the actions which we are continuously prodding them to take, and illogically seems to contribute to complacency concerning internal security problems. B. Basic Strategic Alternatives One way of stating the major question facing US policy would be to ask, to what degree shall we actively enter, engage ourselves in the Philippine polity to achieve the results we seek? We have a tradition of deep engagement in Philippine internal development, and there remains now and for the foreseeable future a widespread legacy of belief that we will intervene whenever required, and should in fact do so to keep matters moving in the right direction. Any choice stated starkly between all-out intervention and all-out disengagement is, of course, not stated realistically or in the proper terms. All-out re-engagement in Philippine politics, the economy, and the military structure would be not only beyond our resources and capabilities, and widely rejected by Filipino leadership, but wholly counterproductive and a confession to the world of failure of the Philippine experiment in self-determination and independent growth. Conversely, an extreme withdrawal of resources, interests, and efforts from the Philippine scene would be inconceivable at the present stage of Philippine, Asian, and world developments. C. Main Thrust of Preferred Strategy The Philippines is now approaching the period of its full economic as well as political independence. Philippine economic growth is expected to continue at a steady pace, with the country's GDP projected to surpass that of some developed countries in the next decade. As the Philippines becomes more economically self-sufficient, the main thrust of US strategy should be to support and encourage this growth while also maintaining a strong relationship with the Philippines. This can be achieved through a combination of economic and security cooperation, as well as continued engagement in Philippine internal development. The US should work to promote a more balanced trade relationship with the Philippines, encouraging the expansion of American businesses in the country while also supporting the growth of local industries. In terms of security, the US should continue to provide assistance and training to the Philippine military, while also encouraging the Philippines to take a more active role in ensuring their own national defense. Overall, the preferred strategy should focus on strengthening the Philippines' economic and political independence, while also maintaining a close and mutually beneficial relationship with the US. This will require a careful balance of support and engagement, while also respecting the Philippines' sovereignty and right to self-determination. racy and with our institutions, but they are not sufficiently aware of the underlying principles and values which are the foundation of our system. The USG should provide opportunities for Filipinos to study these principles and values in the context of their own history and culture, and to explore their implications for the development of Philippine society and government. This effort should be directed at both civilian and military elites. The USG should also continue to support the devel- opment of a strong and stable two-party system. This effort should be directed primarily at the Liberal Party, which is the only viable opposition party in the country. The USG should encourage the Liberals to broaden their base of support and to develop their policy positions in areas of concern to the United States. Additionally, the USG should provide support for the development of a strong and stable local government system, which is essential to the overall stability of Philippine democracy. The USG should also continue to provide support for the development of the Philippine military as a professional, non-political force. This effort should be directed at improving the military's capability to provide internal security, particularly in rural areas, and in the development of a more effective civil-military relationship. The USG should also work to promote a more mature and responsible political behavior in the Philippines. This could be done through various means such as supporting civic education programs and promoting dialogue and cooperation between political parties. 2. External In our bilateral relations with the Philippines, the USG should continue to provide sustained, visible high level attention to the country. This includes regular visits from high level US officials and continued engagement in bilateral discussions and negotiations. The USG should also continue to work towards convincing rational Philippine politicians and the general public of the importance of the US-Philippine relationship. This includes highlighting the mutual benefits of the relationship and addressing any concerns or misunderstandings that may arise. Furthermore, the USG should work towards removing any past or current irritants in the bilateral relationship and promoting maximum Philippine participation in regional affairs. This could be done through increased economic and military cooperation, as well as promoting people-to-people exchanges and cultural understanding. 3. Economic The USG should continue to support economic development in the Philippines, particularly in the rural areas where poverty and underdevelopment are most prevalent. This could be done through targeted aid and assistance programs, as well as promoting private sector growth and improving government services at the provincial and municipal levels. Additionally, the USG should encourage the Philippine government to address issues such as population control, which could have a significant impact on the country's economic development. The USG should also continue to provide economic and technical assistance to help the Philippines transition to a more independent foreign policy. tion of their national self-interest, and that it is not the product of any form of coercion by the US. In order to achieve this goal, it is important to maintain a strong and constructive dialogue with the Philippine government and society. The US must also continue to support the Philippine government in its efforts to improve its governance and promote democratic values. Additionally, the US should work closely with non-governmental organizations in the Philippines to strengthen civil society and promote democratic principles. Furthermore, the US must recognize the importance of the Philippines as a strategic ally and provide adequate resources and support to maintain our military presence in the region. This includes continued access to Philippine military bases and facilities, as well as providing training and assistance to the Philippine military in order to enhance their capabilities. Finally, the US must continue to engage in bilateral dialogue with the Philippines on issues of mutual concern and work together to address regional challenges, such as the presence of Chinese military bases in the South China Sea. By strengthening our alliance and partnership with the Philippines, we can better protect our shared interests and promote stability and prosperity in the region. Correction: tion of the elements controlling a proper security policy for the Philippines, as much as on reliance on historical factors, sentimental ties, advantage in the aid or economic fields, or simply the traditional way of doing things. First, we must continue to give the Philippines sustained, visible high-level US Government attention. We have tended to neglect to show a people as US-conscious as the Filipinos, that they matter to us on a permanent basis -- and not only when the chips are down. We are forever characterized in Manila as ""taking the Philippines for granted"" -- particularly with respect to the level of military and economic aid they receive, in contrast to neutrals and countries antagonistic to the U.S. Second, we must intensify our efforts to convince all rational Filipino politicians and the Philippine public in general that we are taking effective action to help ensure the defense of the Philippines. We should recognize that the presence on the spot of conventional US power is a telling element in convincingly demonstrating the credibility of our commitments. Despite the unquestioned array of naval and air power which we maintain in and in proximity to the northern Philippines, there are no US land combat forces in the islands. Third, we must continue to keep the Filipinos convinced of the need both to us and to them for the presence of our air and naval bases in the Philippines. This means not only that use of such bases must bear a close and understandable relationship to the defense of the Philippines proper, but also that the uses made of them in the furtherance of our mutual interests elsewhere in the region or the world must be made a matter of joint concern. We must recognize that the GOP may insist upon increased consultation on the operational use of our bases. Use of the bases without Philippine acceptance risks, to some extent, their further tenure by the US. Persuading the Filipinos to maintain the pro-US orientation of their foreign policy means a joint effort to rid our bilateral relations of past or current irritants. These are often matters of only relatively minor concern to the US but of great moment to the Philippines and on which the latter is increasingly sharply demanding US concessions. In general, we should respond promptly to Philippine requests whenever we receive them -- and even seize the initiative whenever we judge it appropriate -- for discussions toward the modification, revision, readjustment or renegotiation of military, economic, administrative, or other arrangements. At the same time, we should be vigorous in countering inaccuracies regarding US policies and programs and anti-US propaganda, and we should take all measures required -- through US public information and related programs -- to place the US image in the most favorable perspective in the Philippines. a. While remaining firmly opposed to any reopening, or reconsideration, of the so-called Philippine ""omnibus claims,"" we should be prepared to support redressing of inequities in the provision of benefits to Filipino veterans of World War II. Our annual disbursement of approximately $45 million in veterans benefits, providing monthly payments to over 100,000 persons in all 56 Philippine provinces, remains a major ""grass roots"" aid program and one of considerable economic significance as well as political impact. b. The Special Fund, amounting to some $28 million, which stems from the most recent (and last) war damage legislation passed by the US Congress for the Philippines, is to be used to further educational programs to the mutual advantage of the Philippines and the US. We should respond to worthwhile Philippine projects for the Fund, but preserve a measure of control over disbursement. of $1.6 billion. 3/ In brief, the vital growth factors are: a. A rate of growth of GNP of at least 5% per year, in real terms, to keep pace with the rate of population increase. b. A rate of growth of GNP per capita of at least 2.5% per year to make some progress towards reducing the gap between the Philippines and other less developed countries. c. A rate of growth of GNP of at least 6% per year, in real terms, to make significant progress in improving the standard of living of the majority of the population and to reduce the extent of poverty. d. A rate of investment of at least 14.6% of GNP, in 1962 prices, to sustain a 5% rate of growth of GNP, and a higher rate to achieve a higher rate of growth of GNP. 2. The Role of Foreign Assistance The Philippine Government has, in recent years, been making a determined effort to increase the rate of investment from the level of 10.5% of GNP in 1962 to the level of 14.6% required to sustain a 5% rate of growth of GNP. This effort has been supported by a policy of borrowing abroad, which has resulted in a sharp increase in the debt-service ratio. The Philippine Government has also been trying to attract foreign private capital, but without notable success. 3/ See The Philippine Economy in the 1960's, by Gerardo P. Sicat, Philippine Institute for Development Studies, Manila, 1966, pp. 44-45. y Section 3) are still strong enough to inhibit the development of a rational attitude toward economic growth. Moreover, the elite, which is still the most influential group in the country, is not sufficiently aware of the imperative need to increase the rate of economic growth. This elite has not yet come to accept the idea that the government has a major responsibility for promoting economic growth and that this responsibility requires a willingness to forego immediate consumption for the sake of invest- ment in the future. This attitude is reflected in the low level of government expenditures for economic development and in the fact that the government has not been able to hold down consumption expenditures to a level that would permit a high rate of investment. In addition, the government has not yet been able to mobilize the resources of the country toward the goal of economic growth. One of the most important obstacles to such mobilization is the lack of a co- ordinated and integrated government organization to plan and carry out a comprehensive program of economic development. The present government organization is fragmented and lacks continuity, coherence, and co- ordination. The President’s Office, which is the center of the government organization, is not suffi- ciently staffed or equipped to provide the necessary leadership or to make the detailed studies and plans required for a comprehensive program of economic development. The lack of a comprehensive development plan is reflected in the absence of a consistent set of prior- ities for the allocation of resources. In the absence of such a plan, the various government agencies tend to compete for resources on the basis of their own particular interests and the pressures of their own constituencies. This competition is reflected in the budgetary process, in which the various agencies tend to exaggerate their needs and the importance of their programs. As a result, the government has not been able to allocate its resources in a rational manner that would give priority to programs of economic development. Another important barrier to growth is the lack of a sufficient degree of social and political stabili- ty. The Philippines has been plagued by political instability since its independence. The frequent changes of government have resulted in a lack of continuity and coherence in the government’s economic policies and programs. This has discouraged long- term investment and has made it difficult to carry out a consistent program of economic development. Additionally, the country has experienced a number of serious internal security problems, particularly in the southern islands, which have disrupted economic activity and discouraged investment. The lack of social stability is reflected in the high level of social unrest and in the frequent labor disputes and strikes. The labor situation has been further complicated by the fact that the government has not been able to provide adequate employment opportunities for the rapidly growing labor force. This has resulted in a high level of unemployment, particularly in the cities, and has created a poten- tially explosive social problem. Another barrier to growth is the lack of an adequate infrastructure. The country’s transportation and communication systems are inadequate and have not been able to keep pace with the growth of the economy. This has resulted in high transportation costs and has hindered the development of the country’s resources. In addition, the country’s educational system has not been able to provide the trained personnel needed for economic development. The quality of education has been low and the educational system has not been able to keep pace with the rapid growth of the school-age population. This has resulted in a shortage of skilled workers and technicians, particularly in the fields of science and technology. Finally, the country’s international economic position is a barrier to growth. The Philippines has been heavily dependent on the United States for aid, trade, and investment. This dependence has resulted in a lack of diversification in the country’s economic activities and has made the country vulner- able to changes in the economic policies of the United States. The country’s trade position is also a source of concern. The Philippines has been running a chronic trade deficit, which has resulted in a drain of foreign exchange and has limited the country’s ability to import the capital goods needed for economic development. Additionally, the country’s external debt has been growing and has placed a heavy burden on the government’s budget. The country’s dependence on foreign aid and foreign capital has also limited the government’s freedom of action and has made it difficult to carry out a comprehensive program of economic development. Section 1) of doing business, operating financial institutions and making investment decisions are ill-suited to the creation of a modern, dynamic economy, and constantly reassert themselves. The public sector is virtually stagnant, the private one, though active and growing, would contribute far more to the achievement of national goals with proper government support and direction. Both sectors are beset with problems of graft, smuggling, favoritism and various other forms of corruption. The government's inability to collect enough revenue to support the public activities essential for social or economic improvement affects the defense establishment, the educational system, the Agrarian Reform Program, and the development of all infrastructure essential to sustained economic growth. The socio-economic plan of 1962 identified candidly and comprehensively the areas where remedial action in the public sector is needed and described the administrative techniques required to carry it out. Unfortunately, the goals of this integrated development plan are not being realized. Basically, the same obstacles to successful implementation that plagued earlier large-scale planning efforts immobilized this plan as well. The blame lies in part with the failure of executive leadership, in part with the Philippine Congress, the system of reciprocal favors and the ""pork barrel"" aspect of politics in general, and in part with the incapacity of the Philippine bureaucracy thus far to translate a program of magnitude and complexity into action in the face of these conditions. 3. US Role It is cardinal for us to realize that the Filipinos are becoming more and more determined that they want to decide for themselves the direction in which they wish to go. This does not necessarily mean that they have achieved consensus on the required statesmanship or strategy for development. While our aid has been relatively minimal in the past five to eight years, our presence as an ""aid power"" has been important, and we have made some significant contributions, most of which will assist the country to make slow evolutionary progress in the future. There is every reason to believe that continuing - and even in some respects intensifying - these efforts will continue to have the same contributive effects. Our recent past aid has not been so large in input, and its effect has not been so dramatic, as to indicate that shutting it off entirely would be disastrous to the economy. On the other hand, to abandon the task now - when Philippine growth, progress, and stability is perhaps even more important to the security of the US than it was in earlier stages of the postwar period - would be short-sighted in the face of challenge. Even more importantly, it would have serious political repercussions, because our aid has long become and remains a symbol of our support. To cease it abruptly or even soon would cause a traumatic shock in the Philippines which would have strong adverse effects upon our relations. Moreover, in absolute terms, the magnitude of our aid has been relatively insignificant in terms of costs to the US. The better part of wisdom is to regard ourselves as engaged - one way or the other - in the process of Philippine economic development and growth for as long as the job needs doing. At the same time, we can place no faith or expectations either in miracles and gadgets, or in sudden dramatic ""quantum jumps."" For the most part, the institutions have been established and the requirements are known. Though they have achieved consensus neither on the specific goals nor on the specific methods, the Filipinos generally know what they must do and think they know how. The problem is one of will, of drive, of management and of skills. and management. This assistance should be concentrated in the key agencies of the Philippine Government, particularly those charged with economic development and social reform. In addition, the U.S. should con- tinue to provide technical assistance and training to Philippine officials and employees in these areas. This should be done with a view to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the Philippine Government's operations, and to increasing its capacity to plan and implement economic and social programs. We should also consider the possibility of establishing a Philippine counterpart to the U.S. Civil Service Commission, which would be responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive program of personnel administration and management throughout the Philippine Government. Such a program should include the development of a merit system for the selection, promotion, and retention of government employees, as well as training and development programs for personnel at all levels of government service. c. Private Sector Development. In order to achieve a more broadly based and self-sustaining economic growth, it is necessary to stimulate the development of the private sector in the Philippines. This can be done through the provision of technical assistance and training to Philippine businessmen and entrepreneurs, as well as through the promotion of private investment and joint ventures between Philippine and U.S. companies. In addition, the U.S. should continue to support efforts to improve the business climate in the Philippines, including efforts to reduce bureaucratic red tape and corruption, and to strengthen the rule of law and protection of property rights. Overall, the challenge to U.S. ingenuity in assistance programming in the Philippines is great, and the frustrations that come with it are not likely to diminish anytime soon. However, it is a challenge that must be faced and continuously evaluated in order to achieve the desired economic and social progress in the country. currency country would be willing to import. The Philippines is not such a country. In the past, the Philippines has been able to use its AID program resources to purchase surplus US agricultural commodi- ties. However, the Philippine Government is now financing its own food imports and US agricultural commodities are not competitive with those from other countries. Under these circumstances, the US can be of little help to the Philippine Government in the purchase of US agricultural commodities. However, we should continue to explore with the Philippine Government the possibility of using these commodities for food distribution programs in order to meet emergency needs. g. The foregoing is not intended as a complete statement of the factors which we believe should be considered in determining the future shape of our program in the Philippines. Rather, it is intended to provide a basis for further discussion and analysis. administrative, and financial management as well as in public safety. Performance in tax and customs administration, capital project preparation, land reform implementation and in the key government planning agencies will be especially crucial in the next few years. Our ability to effect changes in GOP central government management has been limited, however, and is likely to continue to be limited. We should be on the alert for and responsive to any changes in this climate, but in the interim we should shift the focus of our attention to the more progressive provinces and municipalities. Such advice as can be useful in improving the provincial and municipal capacity to manage its economic affairs and carry out programs of economic development should be provided directly to the local governments. Thus, the second area of priority attention addresses itself to the problem of oiling the machinery for carrying out the programs enumerated in the first priority area. c. The third area of priority attention should be the Private Sector. The objective here is to do everything that can effectively and appropriately be done by the U.S. to create a climate conducive to accelerated private growth for economic and social development. This includes, with the aid of appropriate international and other institutions, influencing the Government to take those fiscal measures which contribute to a stable economy and inspire the confidence of the domestic and international business communities. Information and techniques should be provided to help broaden the base of enterprise, to encourage entry of new private entrepreneurs, not only in the Manila area but elsewhere throughout the country, and enlarge the operations of those presently engaged. This would include but not be limited to support of the Economic Development Foundation and other institutions, and include attention to small-scale investments in rural industries and marketing schemes. d. Capital Assistance. We should remain prepared with capabilities for capital assistance in projects of serious dimension, to be considered when the Filipinos want and are ready for them and when they can demonstrate they are prepared for real performance. In the meanwhile, we should study closely the possibilities of assisting in the refinancing of many essentially sound private firms which are now desperately short of working capital for contingency purposes. The Philippine Government has failed seriously in the last few years to take advantage of the foreign funds available to it for capital projects. Plagued by pork barrel assignment of resources to political favorites and a general inability in key departments such as Public Works and the Bureau of Public Roads to develop and implement feasible projects, the public sector has let years go by without important starts on long lead-time infrastructure. The field of transportation lags particularly far behind. Rural electrification and power development, harbor and highway projects, and communications are other examples. In many of these vital fields, the private sector itself should be called upon to play an increasing role as primer and builder of projects -- given the stagnation on the government side. e. Population Control. Even with positive government performance and effective US assistance, the Philippines would be running a close race with population expansion. This fact increases both the need for substantial economic development to keep up and for as prompt attention as possible to population control. f. Surplus US Agricultural Commodities. Their use as an economic resource in the Philippines is severely limited. Under Titles I and IV of Public Law 480 it is difficult to find eligible commodities, with the exception of rice in periods of critical shortage, which the importer in a freely convertible currency country would be willing to import. The Philippines is not such a country. In the past, the Philippines has been able to use its AID program resources to purchase surplus US agricultural commodities. However, the Philippine Government is now financing its own food imports and US agricultural commodities are not competitive with those from other countries. Under these circumstances, the US can be of little help to the Philippine Government in the purchase of US agricultural commodities. However, we should continue to explore with the Philippine Government the possibility of using these commodities for food distribution programs in order to meet emergency needs. g. The foregoing is not intended as a complete statement of the factors which we believe should be considered in determining the future shape of our program in the Philippines. Rather, it is intended to provide a basis for further discussion and analysis. currency situation, would not prefer to import from a source and at a price of his choice without fulfilling the complicated PL 480 requirements. The stress of negotiating a formula for use of the sales proceeds creates tension in US-Philippine relations. Furthermore, there is strong Philippine objection to undertaking long-term obligations for dollar repayment for commodities to be consumed in the present. However, these sales proceeds currently offer the only remaining source of US-owned local currency for use in military programs and to stimulate economic and social development. The provisions of Title II offer important inducements for socially desirable growth purposes, through the use of surplus food or feed grain for work projects or to stimulate new productive and self-help efforts in the rural society, as well as to provide employment and training opportunities for unemployed and underemployed. We should accordingly look for appropriate opportunities to develop and step up PL 480, Title II programs, and make the necessary resources under the ""Food for Peace"" program available to that effect. G. Trade strategy 1. Basic Considerations Four fundamental considerations establish the context within which our trade and investment strategy must fit. These are: a. Philippine preoccupation with economic independence. Most negative symbol of the past relationship is the so-called ""parity"" provision of the 1946 Trade Agreement (carried over in Article VI of the 1955 Laurel-Langley Revised Trade Agreement) giving Americans the same rights as Filipinos in the exploitation of natural resources and operation of public utilities until 1974. This provision required modification of the Philippine Constitution and, in the public mind, gives the US a continuing quasi-colonial hold on the Philippines. Analysis indicates, however, that Filipinos are more upset by the principle than with the effect of parity, as they are generally cognizant of the advantages which American investment in the parity fields has brought, and of the fact that there has been no great influx of US investment in these fields since 1946. b. The real need for foreign investment and for facilitated Philippine export trade to achieve development goals. Close to 50 percent of total Philippine exports continue to be sold in the US, and American investment remains a most important source of capital, though it is decreasingly so in the light, particularly, of rising Japanese investment in the Philippines. The kind of US investment now required is, to a large extent, long-range investment which will need assurance of its status beyond 1974, when the Revised Trade Agreement expires. If private US investment is to play a significant role in development, both the US and the Philippines must turn their attention now to the longer-range basis of the relationship and to correcting to the extent possible impediments to a favorable investment climate which have arisen in recent years. c. The need to preserve the US military and political position in the Philippines. To the extent that our overall posture requires a friendly Philippine base, some economic and commercial accommodation may be found necessary to assure a Philippine feeling of vested interest in our presence. d. US Government responsibility for the protection of legitimate interests of American investors whose activities have been undertaken on the basis of existing agreements. US involvement in creating the conditions under which much American investment and commercial interest was established in the Philippines, either during the Commonwealth period or since independence, adds to the expectation within US business circles that these legitimate interests will continue to be protected. 2. Recommended Approach It is e e e e In US interest to avoid renegotiation of the Revised Trade (Laurel-Langley) Agreement of 1955 itself, since this would open up a difficult and nonproductive assortment of unrealistic demands and grievances on both sides of the Pacific. On the other hand, several current and anticipated problems involving the Agreement are causing serious irritants and should be resolved. More fundamentally, it will be necessary well before the expiration date of the Agreement (1974) to make clear to the Philippines our intentions with respect to key provisions, particularly those on mutual across-the-board tariff preferences, on special commodity aspects (sugar), and on rights acquired under the parity (Art. VI) clause. At the same time, in terms both of our responsibilities for the protection of American investors and of our long-range planning with respect to Philippine development, it will become quite essential that we know as long in advance of 1974 as possible what Philippine intentions are with respect to the future of US private investment. Our basic approach should be to negotiate agreements as and when adjustments of the present trade and investment relationship or the resolution of current problems make it necessary between now and 1974, and to look toward a treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation (FCN) to take full effect not later than 1974, when the Laurel-Langley Agreement expires. The Laurel-Langley Agreement itself calls for consultations regarding its termination not later than July 1, 1971, but the need for an improved investment climate calls for much earlier definition of the post-1974 relationship. The most important current issues relate to Philippine problems in adjusting to declining quota and tariff preferences in the US market, and to American business concern with harassment resulting from Philippine interpretation of their Retail Trade Nationalization Law. The question of applicability of the Retail Trade Nationalization Law to American firms engaged in retail trade is presently in the courts. If the ultimate judicial decision is adverse to US firms, and no solutions are found in legislative or administrative relief, it is probable that we will have to resort to government-to-government consultations as provided for under Article X of the Laurel-Langley Agreement. At this time the Philippines might push for renegotiation of the Agreement. If the courts relieve the pressure on American business, it is more likely that the US will retain the initiative on renegotiation. In either case, the time will have arrived - most probably, early in 1967 - to begin serious initial discussions of the post-1974 relationship. Such discussions should lead, preferably not later than 1967, to formal negotiations. In an FCN Treaty, we should seek to obtain provisions which would (1) assure such continued protection as can reasonably and constitutionally be obtained for ""vestigial"" American investment rights legitimately contracted under the parity (Article VI) clause of the Laurel-Langley Agreement; (11) provide basic national or nondiscriminatory treatment for existing and prospective American business interests; (iii) lead to standardization or ""normalization"" of our commercial relationships with the Philippines, after 1974. During the course of negotiating an FCN treaty we should be prepared to provide for such necessary trade concessions as might be required to assure continued economic stability. This could be done partly, and as needed, by separate agreements. a. Vestigial Rights. The US took a considerable step forward in March 1965, with the announcement in Manila by a high US official that the US did not intend to seek extension of the Article VI ""parity"" provisions of the Laurel-Langley Agreement. At the same time, the announcement indicated that ""we assume, of course, that rights acquired prior to 1974 will be protected in accordance with the Philippine Constitution."" The announcement had the effect of partially neutralizing the parity issue, even though the US was not giving up anything that it expected to obtain. In negotiating for the continued protection of ""vestigial"" rights in accordance with the Philippine Constitution, a distinction might be obtained between investors who acquired vested interests in the Philippines--such as ownership of land, or leases or contracts for fixed periods--and those investors who enjoy merely a privilege of concession without a fixed period or contract fixed by law. If such a distinction can be drawn, we should then seek formal guarantees for the former in FCN negotiations, while obtaining for the latter the best possible terms to protect them after expiration of Laurel-Langley. It is by no means certain, however, that such guarantees or terms--even if obtainable from the Philippine executive branch--would effectively protect these rights beyond 1974 in the light of Philippine constitutional provisions. b. Investment. With respect to national treatment for investment in general (Article VII provisions of the present Agreement), it is clear that obtaining provisions in a new instrument continuing such treatment beyond 1974 should be a major goal of the American negotiators. Full national treatment may not be obtainable in every area, or with respect to every local investment incentive. It should be realized that a strong segment of Philippine economic thinking opposes it on grounds that it would perpetuate what is regarded as an already too great discrepancy between American and non-American foreign capital in the country. A negotiation may therefore instead result--at a minimum--with the Philippines having limited rights to screen prospective investment. In the period under review, US policy will in any case have to walk a difficult tightrope between protecting the American investment position in the Philippines, and recognizing Philippine national aspirations. The US Government must seek not only to persuade the Philippine Government that a moderate policy toward existing and prospective foreign capital investments is in its own self-interest, but also seek to move American business interests toward policies more in tune with the rapidly developing Philippine economy and nationalist sentiment. An important feature should be to encourage new American businesses entering the Philippines to accept the joint venture concept. Increasing incidence of Filipino capital participation, up to and even over 50% Philippine ownership of joint ventures, should help forestall negative or nationalist legislation, and produce a more favorable overall climate for US investment. An important incentive to investment is the protection of patent rights. We should oppose restrictive Philippine legislation in this regard. We should also obtain Philippine Government acceptance of AID investment guaranty agreements covering loss due to war, revolution, or insurrection under the specific risk program and covering extended risks under a new program. c. Trade. At an early stage in the FCN negotiations, we should make the US position clear to Philippine authorities that the US does not believe that tariff preferences should be continued between the two countries beyond 1974. In conveying our position, we should emphasize our belief that the Philippines should broaden its international trading pattern, and that the US is willing to provide relevant technical assistance in surveying market trends for export products on which they most depend, in diversifying their markets. and living standards of sugar workers. In addition, we should make it clear that, in the event of Philippine refusal to negotiate a new agreement or to accept the ""recapture fee"" principle, the US would be entirely free to take whatever unilateral action it might deem appropriate, including the application of a ""recapture fee"" to all Philippine sugar imported into the US. In order to promote their exports, we should urge the Philippine Government to explore other avenues of obtaining tariff reductions, such as through GATT - of which they are still not a member. Their increasingly protectionist tariff policy makes it more important to bring the Philippines into international tariff bargaining as soon as possible. This would further help in their transition from overdependence on the US market. SECRET AihS -56- . In proceeding in accordance with this general principle, however, we should recognize that the Philippines might well expect continued preferences beyond 1974, in terms of quotas, pricing schemes, etc. in a number of specific commodities. The Philippines has a direct and tangible interest in US concessions in quota and tariff preferences far exceeding ours in reciprocal concessions. Elimination of these without provision for other satisfactory marketing arrangements for some of the major Philippine exports might cause considerable trade disruption and subsequent economic dislocation not in our over-all interest. We and they should start now making preparations for this transition. (1) Sugar. The roughly $150 million sugar export trade to the US, based on a guaranteed yearly quota and on a preferential price, including a premium which accounts for about $40 million of the above figure, is the principal item. As long as the Laurel-Langley Trade Agreement runs, the absolute quota of 952,000 short tons commercial weight (980,000 short tons raw value) is guaranteed. By US interpretation followed thus far, the price is also guaranteed, but depends on the US Sugar Act (see Part Two, II). Moreover, the Philippines has benefited in terms of 70,000 short tons raw value additional quota from redistribution of the former Cuban quota. The fact that virtually all Philippine export sugar goes to the US indicates the extent of industry dependence on the US quota and price. During the course of an FCN negotiation, it should be impressed upon the Philippines that whatever concessions we might ultimately make in terms of a continued quota and/or price guarantee beyond 1974, such concessions will come with great difficulty given the pressure of domestic and of other foreign producers upon the US. Full facts on the growing and demanding US domestic sugar industry should be disseminated by both private and official US information organs. Moreover, we should take the line that quite aside from our problems in accommodating other foreign producers, and desire to decrease US price advantages to these producers, we consider it fundamentally unwise in terms of Philippine economic development to encourage further dependence on sugar in the Philippine economy. As we make these points, we should be prepared to offer assistance to the Philippine Government and to the sugar industry in bringing about, and in easing the strains of, a gradual transition which would see the Philippine sugar industry greatly rationalize its costs and productive techniques, and diversify its markets, finding new outlets outside the US. We should also make it clear to the Philippines that its present advantage springs not only from the fact of the Agreement, but also from our favorable interpretation - or lack of unfavorable interpretation - of it, insofar as the ""recapture fee"" is concerned. (See Part Two, Section II, F=4.) (While there is no ""recapture fee"" in 1965 because the US Sugar Act expired, it is assumed that legislation continuing this authority will be enacted.) In this regard, if the Philippines were disposed - perhaps beginning in 1971 - to accept at least in part the ""recapture fee"" principle, we should be disposed to consider extending assistance to the Philippine sugar industry to help it improve the conditions of agricultural work and living standards of sugar workers. In addition, we should make it clear that, in the event of Philippine refusal to negotiate a new agreement or to accept the ""recapture fee"" principle, the US would be entirely free to take whatever unilateral action it might deem appropriate, including the application of a ""recapture fee"" to all Philippine sugar imported into the US. the Philippine desire to renegotiate the bases agree- ment, as well as the desire of some to see the bases removed, will continue. In addition, there is a growing concern among Philippine leaders over the impact of US bases on the Philippine economy and society. e. The Philippine Government is still committed to the concept of an ""Asian NATO"" and has been a strong supporter of SEATO. The Philippine Government would like to see a revitalized SEATO which would provide a multilateral security arrange- ment in which the US would play a major role. How- ever, the Philippine Government is not willing to assume a major role in SEATO, and it will be difficult to persuade it to do so. e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e I support for increased emphasis on civic action and counterinsurgency capabilities, including the effectiveness of the Philippine Constabulary, Cc git? B) To ensure effective training and maintenance of equipment by the AFP, and stimulate greater emphasis and effective performance on civic action projects, Bids c) Budgetary Support, Just as we must accept the reality of a probably weak contribution from the Philippine forces, we should recognize the probability that the Philippine defense budget situation will not improve, and therefore that we may have to be prepared - repugnant as this course is on rational economic or political grounds - to consider direct budget support in order to develop a capability to contribute to a worthwhile defense effort, to the extent at least that we desire any worthwhile AFP contribution at all. At a minimum, commercial consumables, which have now been restored for FY-1965 and FY-1966, may have to be continued at a minimal level. The GOP The GOP is unlikely to take the steps, such as vigorous tax collection, elimination of smuggling and corruption, necessary to significantly increase total revenues and thus the total national budget. Diversion of resources from socio-economic to military purposes is unlikely to be acceptable to or undertaken by the GOP. It could also be counterproductive. For, at this stage at least, the principal aspect of the internal security threat is political and socio- economic; and it is by effective programs in these fields that the threat must first be reduced. This being said, there should of course be no diminution in US efforts through persuasion and otherwise to bring about a larger Philippine contribution and better support. d) Police Program. We can and must do more, in concert with the GOP, to increase greatly the role and effectiveness of the police forces in the maintenance of law and order. This situation is now, in many areas of the countryside, slipping badly; whereas, in some of the larger cities, particularly Manila and its suburbs, it is alarmingly bad. Crime, violence, smuggling, bribery and corruption are rampant; the prevalence of firearms and of private guard organizations sometimes compounds the problem; and the rates of pay, morale, and aptitude among police are, in general, reaching intolerably low levels. Nor is the problem confined entirely to police standards and organization; for even if this were radically improved, the problem of law and order would remain far from solution. The judicial system is overburdened, excessively slow, and far too frequently corrupt. Failure to try, sentence, and confine criminals leads back to disinclination to apprehend them; for in frequent instances the police have not properly performed their job, only to be left in a ludicrous and exposed situation by the subsequent failure of judicial sanctions. The Philippines should be urged to establish a national police commission with significant power over all local forces and authority to coordinate operations of all law enforcement bodies, although the PC should remain under military control. Creation of such a commission with requisite powers would be a considerable step forward in reforming the disorganized, graft-ridden, ill-coordinated, and poorly trained complex of nearly 1,500 separate local police units, and in integrating the efforts of the various law enforcement agencies. If the commission could not immediately, or not soon, be established, we should at least urge Presidential appointment of a single head or coordinator of police programs - a step which could probably be taken without awaiting legislative action and which would at least signal the Government's intent really to take the situation in hand. and notification should be incorporated into the new bases agreement. Additionally, we should negotiate for the removal of any restrictions on the use of the bases for military purposes, as well as the elimination of any requirements for prior Philippine approval for the use of the bases. In terms of compensation for the use of the bases, we should negotiate for a fair and reasonable amount based on the actual costs incurred by the Philippine government for hosting the bases. We should also seek to establish a mechanism for periodic review and adjustment of the compensation amount to ensure that it remains fair and reasonable. Overall, our goal should be to maintain a strong and mutually beneficial relationship with the Philippines, while also ensuring that our military presence and operations in the country are not hindered by unnecessary restrictions and irritants. By negotiating a new bases agreement that addresses these issues, we can strengthen our alliance with the Philippines and better support our shared interests in the region. and other characteristics of the major Philippine political parties, ACTION: CIA, State, USIA, and all other Agencies 2, Develop a strategy for influencing the political parties and other key elements of Philippine society in a pro-US direction, ACTION: State, USIA, and all other Agencies 3.

Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage? Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best.

Do you think there might be a pill we could take Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM. I can understand your situation and problem. COPD (chronic obstructive Pulmonary disease) is chronic, progressive obstructive disease of the airway. It is incurable. Inhaled treatment is the first line therapy for COPD. And if patient is not improving or controlled with Inhaled treatment then we can add oral bronchodilators too. Oral bronchodilators are theophylline group. Acebrophyllin and doxophyllin are commercially available. Since both are prescribed drugs, you need doctor's prescription for them. You should also enroll yourself in pulmonary rehabilitation center where chest physiotherapy and deep breathing exercises are done. These will improve your lung function and decrease the symptoms. So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.",Confidential "hi,when ever i do any physical activity like running, i don't neceseraly have shortness of breath, but it feels like i can't take as much air in my lungs as i could normally.

So better to consult a cardiologist, and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).If all these are normal, then no need to worry about heart diseases. Also, get done pulmonary function test (PFT) for the diagnosis of exercise-induced asthma. If PFT is normal, then no need to worry about lung-related diseases. Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar feelings. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I just got injured on the little finger of my left hand while playing a cricket match. There is a blood clot and the last segment of my little finger is swollen and slightly purplish. What should I do? I had put my finger in a bowl of ice for about 5 min. Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. I suppose it is only a minor injury without any fissure or fracture in your distal phalynx, and for the first 48 hours icing will be benefecial. Use NSAIDs like declophen or ibuprufen as an analgesic and to decrease the inflammation, use topical anti inflammatory gels (like voltaren gel). Sometimes if the swelling is extensive, we add an antiedematous drug (alpha chemotrypsin), also elevating the hand or an arm sling or slabs to decrease its mobility. If no progress or the swelling stays ask your physician for an x-ray just to assure your little finger is free of any injuries. Hope the above information helps you.

I can understand your concern. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) can cause reduction in heart functions. This can cause fluid retention in the body. This fluid can accumulate in lungs, abdomen and legs. In lungs, it causes pulmonary edema and this can cause breathlessness on exertion. In abdomen it causes ascites and this cause heaviness in abdomen. So you should consult cardiologist and get done 2d echo to measure heart function. If it is reduced then you will need diuretics to reduce fluid retention. After diuretics, you will mostly improve.

October 2000 $ 3,214 February 2001 $ 4,153 I spoke with Corrine Surface at BPA and learned that these charges are being applied given the following situation: On October 10, 2000 and February 1, 5, and 6, 2001, our Real-Time group called BPA to reserve transmission for some schedules. Our R-T guys requested tranny using account numbers (such as 794811) that were for day-ahead firm transmission, thus entering the field of Unauthorized Increase Charges (incurred at $12,000/MWh) . Since BPA did not go over the structure of the product in that account, they are not going to charge us the $12,000 per MWh, but since we did get firm transmission, we will have to pay the $59/Mwh for the firm; hence the above charges.

He asked if this group was selected as a group or if this was an amalgamation of HR employees from the various operating companies.

A single buyer entered the marketplace on both September 26 and 27 and paid above market prices ($4.70-$4.80) for San Juan gas with the intent to distort the index. At the time of these trades, offers for physical gas at significantly (10 to 15 cents) lower prices were bypassed in order to establish higher trades to report into the index calculation. Additionally, these trades are out of line with the associated financial swaps for San Juan. We have compiled a list of financial and physical trades executed from September 25 to September 27. These are the complete list of trades from Enron Online (EOL), Enron's direct phone conversations, and three brokerage firms (Amerex, APB, and Prebon). Please see the attached spreadsheet for a trade by trade list and a summary. We have also included a summary of gas daily prices to illustrate the value of San Juan based on several spread relationships. The two key points from this data are as follows: 1. The high physical prices on the 26th & 27th (4.75,4,80) are much greater than the high financial trades (4.6375,4.665) on those days. 2. The spread relationship between San Juan and other points (Socal & Northwest) is consistent between the end of September and October gas daily. It doesn't make sense to have monthly indeces that are dramatically different. I understand you review the trades submitted for outliers. Hopefully, the trades submitted will reveal counterparty names and you will be able to determine that there was only one buyer in the 4.70's and these trades are outliers. I wanted to give you some additional points of reference to aid in establishing a reasonable index. It is Enron's belief that the trades at $4.70 and higher were above market trades that should be excluded from the calculation of index. It is our desire to have reliable and accurate indeces against which to conduct our physical and financial business. Please contact me anytime I can assist you towards this goal.

The editorial was followed by a speech by Chiang Ching, a member of the Politburo and a member of the ""Gang of Four"" (Gang of Four is the popular term for the group of four leftist leaders who are the main instigators of the campaign) in which she called for a campaign to ""criticize and repudiate"" those who ""have been attempting to restore the old order"" and ""restore the feudal system."" These statements and other recent developments suggest that the campaign will be directed against ""rightists"" and ""capitalist roaders"" and will be used to purge the party and the government of ""rightist"" and ""capitalist"" elements. The campaign is still in its early stages and the objectives of the Gang of Four are not yet clear. It is possible that the Gang of Four is using the campaign to strengthen their position within the party and government and to weaken the position of those who oppose their policies. It is also possible that the Gang of Four is attempting to discredit Chou En-lai and other moderate leaders in preparation for a major shift in policy. If the latter is the case, the campaign may have serious implications for Sino-American relations. The campaign is already having a significant impact on the party and government. There are reports that party members are being asked to write self-criticisms and to confess their ""errors."" The party has also set up committees to investigate the backgrounds of party members and to identify those who are ""rightists"" or ""capitalist roaders."" The committees are also preparing to investigate the backgrounds of government officials. The campaign is expected to continue for several months and there is speculation that it may be extended to the military. The campaign is also having a significant impact on the Chinese people. The Chinese press has reported that millions of people have attended meetings to criticize Confucius and Lin Piao. There are also reports that thousands of people have been arrested and detained. The government has also announced that it will dispatch ""workers"" to factories, communes, and schools to help ""educate"" the people and to ensure that the campaign is successful. The campaign is expected to have a serious impact on the Chinese economy. The government has already announced that it will reduce the production of consumer goods and will increase the production of industrial goods. The government has also announced that it will increase the production of grain and other agricultural products. The government will also divert resources from the production of consumer goods to the production of industrial goods. As a result, the Chinese people will be forced to sacrifice their standard of living in order to support the campaign. The campaign is also expected to have a serious impact on the Chinese military. There are reports that the military will be used to enforce the campaign and that the government will divert resources from the military to support the campaign. There are also reports that the government will use the campaign to purge the military of ""rightist"" and ""capitalist"" elements. If this is the case, the campaign may have serious implications for the Chinese military and for the stability of the Chinese government. II. Implications for Foreign Policy The campaign has not yet had a significant impact on Chinese foreign policy. The Chinese government has continued to support the ""three worlds"" theory and has continued to criticize the Soviet Union and the United States. The Chinese government has also continued to support the revolutionary movements in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The Chinese government has also continued to support the ""national liberation movements"" in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The campaign may have a significant impact on Chinese foreign policy in the future. The Chinese government may use the campaign to justify a major shift in policy. The Chinese government may also use the campaign to discredit Chou En-lai and other moderate leaders who support a gradual approach to foreign policy. If this is the case, the campaign may have serious implications for Sino- American relations. III. Conclusion The campaign is still in its early stages and it is too early to make definitive judgments about its implications for domestic and foreign policy. It is possible that the campaign will be used to strengthen the position of the Gang of Four and to weaken the position of those who oppose their policies. It is also possible that the Gang of Four is preparing for a major shift in policy and is using the campaign to discredit Chou En-lai and other moderate leaders. If the latter is the case, the campaign may have serious implications for Sino-American relations. It is also possible that the campaign will have a significant impact on the Chinese economy and the Chinese military. The campaign is expected to continue for several months and it is likely that its impact will be felt for several years. In the meantime, the United States should continue to monitor the situation and to assess its implications for Sino-American relations. ated the Maoist ""center"" and are moving to oust Mao and his closest associates. (2) Mao and his closest associates have initiated the campaign, perhaps with Chou's acquiescence, to discredit Chou and other ""pragmatists"" and reassert Maoist control over the party and government.

In any case, the anti-Confucius campaign and the rehabilitation of Lin Piao as a national hero suggest a much more fundamental division within the top leadership than has been apparent before. It is not clear whether this division is ideological, personal, or a combination of both. However, it is clear that the Cultural Revolution and its policies are at the heart of this division. In fact, the Chinese have been moving to strengthen their ties with the US. The recent visit of Vice Premier Li Hsien-nien to the US is a case in point. Li is a close associate of Chou and a member of the ""leftist"" camp. He was received with unusual warmth by President Nixon and Secretary Kissinger. The Chinese have also been pressing for a Nixon visit to Peking. If the Chinese were serious about a reversal of their policy toward the US, they would hardly be taking such steps. In conclusion, while the current campaign in China may signal a shift to the ""left"" in domestic politics, there is no evidence to suggest a reversal of Chinese foreign policies, particularly those related to the US. The attacks on Western cultural figures and the Januery Parcel mini-crisis can be seen as part of a larger domestic political dynamic, rather than a reflection of Chinese foreign policy intentions. Therefore, it is likely that Chou En-lai's personal stature and authority will be reduced as a result of the current campaign, but this does not necessarily mean a change in Chinese foreign policies. a 4 Rhetoric has heightened in some fields--notably with respect to the USSR--but in others, of strong PRC interest, it has not. For example, People's Daily in its January 27 RET PTS Ceasefire Agreement Rhetoric has heightened in some fields--notably with respect to the USSR--but in others, of strong PRC interest, it has not. For example, People's Daily in its January 27 Ceasefire Agreement, and, consistent with the past year's practice, treated the US role in Vietnam lightly. Similarly, Peking has created relatively little commotion over Park's internal troubles or the ROK-held islands off the North Korean coast; moreover, the Antonioni diatribe includes explicit re-endorsement of ""Chairman Mao's revolutionary line in foreign affairs,"" for which the US is not mentioned. There have as yet been no significant signs of change in matters of some significance involving developing relations. At the UN in the fall, the PRC seemed anxious to show itself to be constructive and accommodating on the Korean question. In negotiations with Malaysia concerning diplomatic relations, the Chinese have been conciliatory, while their structured contacts with the GDR also seem to be proceeding in the ""spirit of Pundéung."" In early January, Foreign Minister Ohira visited Beijing, signed a Sino-Japanese trade agreement, and apparently also won approval for a Japanese-devised solution to the GRC/PRC airlines problem, which fell well short of Beijing's original demands. In recent weeks, non-stop Moscow-Peking air service has been instituted, and the yearly Sino-Soviet border river navigation talks have been routinely conducted. Finally, the Chinese justified their Paracels operation in defensive terms, released the captured American and the first group of Vietnamese quickly and quietly, and show no signs of moving on to the Spratlys--in part, according to clandestine reports, because of their desire to avoid confronting ROC forces there. The absence of significant substantive foreign policy change in the six months since the beginning of the anti-Confucian campaign does not eliminate the possibility of change to come. We know extremely little about what happens in the PRC leadership; analysts failed to foresee such major events as the Cultural Revolution and the fall of Lin Biao. Moreover, the small group of people who today govern China, riven and scarred by the upheavals they have so recently passed through, may be driven into further internecine battles even while recognizing the risks to China's stability and security. We have no evidence linking the left to opposition to détente policies, but we would not rule out that certain Chinese leadership elements, striving for ascendancy, might find it useful--either as a means of domestic political infighting or of a different interpretation of China's relations--to force a change in PRC foreign policies. In reaching the estimate that a change in policy is unlikely, we have nothing on which to base our case except long-standing hopes and expectations that pursuit of self-interest, having proved highly profitable, will not be quickly abandoned. Existing policy has contributed to a large reduction in the US presence in Asia, has limited the increase in Soviet influence, and increased the international isolation of Taiwan, all at low cost to Beijing. The progression, however, has not yet been carried as far as it could reasonably be expected to go; the patterns in relations with Japan and Southeast Asia noted above are part of an ongoing process in which each step implies the next. The twin practical rationales for Chou En-lai's opening to the non-Communist world--the Soviet threat, and access to Western technology--remain as valid as ever. However, conscious though the Chinese leaders may be of benefits from relaxed tensions, it would be highly difficult for any faction among them to cut through the barriers of hostility toward and mistrust of the USSR--a Two which Mao's personal animus has contributed-and make even a significant move toward the Soviets. We know of no Peking figure or group who might favor such a gesture. If the Soviets withdrew some military units from the northern border area, a move which the Chinese for years have insisted must be a prerequisite to meaningful border talks, tentative possibilities might open--but Moscow has ww . - 9 - mee h EFSF 4 ATE never shown any inclination to make such a unilateral concession, On the other hand, the Washington-Moscow detente has also complicated the problem of rationalizing the Washington-Peking relationship. The Brezhnev-Nixon meeting of June 1973 may have led China's leaders to ponder where the triangular USSR-US-PRC relationship was heading, and to consider what the nature of the Sino-US relationship should be. By August, Chou En-lai at the 10th Party Congress was justifying Sino-US detente in distinctly left-handed and tactical terms, declaring that helping a bandit was not such a bad thing if your purpose was to keep the damage down rather than to share in the loot. At the same time, US exchange groups which had tentatively advanced visits to the PRC began to encounter difficulties, and although the Philadelphia Orchestra's fall visit went off successfully, the negotiations for 1972 exchanges carried out in conjunction with the Secretary's November trip to Peking resulted in no further exchanges in 1973, despite the fact that the exchange program had earlier been envisioned on both sides as one that should progressively expand. Progress in arranging the scheduled 1974 exchanges has been minimal to date, and exchange programs conducted by other Western countries are also encountering difficulties. The connection with the attacks on ""eternal aggression"" committed by Antonioni et al is clear. Other Sino-US negotiations, on claims and assets frozen since the 1940's, have not progressed, but the lack of publicity on this question suggests that the problems are of a technical or bargaining nature and have no wider ramifications. One area of Sino-US interaction which is more than atmospherics is trade. Were Peking to start cutting off its technological nose for the sake of its ideological face we would have real cause to fear that the Chinese political process was again slipping out of control. To date there is no sign that this is happening: Sino-US trade, which reached a 1973 volume of $600 million, continues to flourish, and while the Chinese display moderate concern at the severe imbalance between imports and exports, they continue to contact US businessmen assiduously. There is pressure, however, and if the domestic situation should spin out of control we will increasingly face the question of whether current Chinese foreign policies can be preserved intact.",Confidential "I m 30 years olf female and i have extra pulmonary tb I had swollen lymph node in neck but after completing two months of medication for tb Swollen node is healed I was losing wieght before i started treatement I m on medication since five months In between i had to stop tb medicine for a months time since liver enzymes were raised high Now i feel ok May i know am i going fine with this line of treatement Hi!Welcome to HCM!The duration of treatment for extrapulmonary TB involving lymph nodes should be atleast 12 months.

Had this from earlier prescription from 1 year back. Pls help Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query. Enzoflam is an NSAID pain killer medication, and NSAIDs can cause gastric irritation. Your symptoms appear to be indicative of a gastro-enteritis (probably due to giardiasis or amoebiasis), and hence I feel that taking Enzoflam could probably worsen the gastritis. There are other pain-relieving medication which are more gastric-friendly and would be more appropriate in this situation. Even if you would like to take Enzoflam, it's better to take it along with an anti-ulcer medication like Ranitidine (Zantac) - available over-the-counter. Also, avoid spicy and oily foods and take a bland diet. Drinking plenty of fluids, especially cold milk, can also help alleviate your symptoms.

From: Walter J. Stoessel, Jr., Acting Secretary of State Subject: Your Visit to Manila, June 29 - July 2 - To: The Vice President, Yonsei Dear Sir, I am writing to inform you of your upcoming visit to Manila from June 29 to July 2. Your presence at the inauguration of President Marcos will help reassure him of the Reagan Administration's support and commitment to a close relationship with the Philippines. President Marcos has recently been re-elected for a term of six years, extending his rule to a total of 16 years. Despite opposition boycotts and voter apathy, the government has reported a solid victory for Marcos. He now begins his new term with full control over the government and the country. With the support of the military and his unmatched competence as a leader and politician, he is expected to continue governing for several more years. The Marcos government has been supportive of U.S. interests in recent years, particularly during the negotiation of the 1979 amendment to the Military Bases Agreement. However, Marcos faces major challenges ahead, including a struggling economy and a more aggressive opposition. Your visit will help reassure him of the importance the Reagan Administration attaches to the relationship between the U.S. and the Philippines. During your visit, you will have three main objectives: 1. To emphasize the importance of a close and friendly relationship between the U.S. and the Philippines. 2. To express pleasure at the current state of relations between our two countries, particularly in regards to the use of our military facilities. 3. To make it clear to Marcos that the Reagan Administration opposes terrorism and will take appropriate action against any illegal use of the United States for terrorist purposes. One of the first issues you will address is presenting a letter from President Reagan to President Marcos. This is a standard procedure and will be warmly received by President Marcos. Thank you for your participation in this important visit. I am confident that it will strengthen the relationship between our two countries. Sincerely, Walter J.

Thank you,",Public "S&P Mtg re: BME/RT Issues scheije@selectenergy.com writes to the NYISO_TECH_EXCHANGE Discussion List: I apologize for the larger circulation of this email than to just the S&P WG. The MC last week urged a rapid consideration of the interactions between BME and SCD and their related prices from the hot, high load days of July 24 and 25. To pursue this there is additional information needed from the ISO. Below is a preliminary list I compiled that would be useful in assessing the situation. Data should be provided for relevant hours i.e. those with high BME or RT prices or both. Particularly for those hours with binding reserve constraints in HA or RT. 1 RT reserve levels in each hour (it is recognized that the value fluctuates but the the point is to get an idea of apporximately how short the ISO was of reserves, if at all) 2 Similar information should be obtained for our neighbors; PJM, NE and IMO. Also, could the ISO describe what the others do hour ahead to prepare for the next operating hour under circumstances such as we encountered those two days? NY has the unfortunate position of producing prices related to decisions for which it pays otherwise - what were our neighbors doing? 3 An accounting, by hour, of reserves carried on exports out of NY 4 Identification of any non-ICAP based exports that may have been counted for reserve; this shouldn't happen as it puts non-ICAP providers in the position of being recalled... 5 BME reserve deficiencies by hour; were the reserve levels always met, albeit at extreme prices, or was the ISO unable to cover the requirements in advance? 6 Based on Mike Calimano's report, there were ""a couple hundred Mws"" of operating units not seen by BME; this situation needs to be (1) confirmed and (2) explained and corrected The following are sort of 2nd tier questions: 1 If the ISO was short of reserves in RT why weren't the EDRP resources, who were notified, not called into play to aid in curing the deficiency? There should have been no economic judgement call by operators (if the first two hours were at $500 that was likely cheaper than what BME was taking in if the BME prices applied to settlement under ECA B). BME made no judgement call when its prices spiked due to the 30 M NSR scarcity and took available imports. 2 What would have been the System State(s) if the reserve margins had been held in RT (assuming ISO was short in RT)? Would this have forced a Major Emergency and subsequent voltage reductions, public appeals etc? Had this been done would have the EDRP Mws been activated? I would also like to offer the following as potential changes to be considered. They are based on the limited discussions that have taken place so far. 1 Include exports that are being counted as reserve in BME as it evaluates its reserve position. Since BME is deciding which transactions will be scheduled, operators would need to indicate which transactions and how many Mws could be counted in RT as reserves. The implications for the solution algorithm are unclear - can BME recognize the additional reserves thus carried? Would it result in fewer imports and lower BME prices? What if the reserve requirements used as input to BME were manipulated downward for reserves on exports? What happens if BME did not schedule the export(s)? 2 Subject to the ISO providing detailed RT reserve info, it seems that the reserves should be carried in RT and that SCD should not be allowed to dispatch with units that were not available to BME (thus resulting in the large price disparities). If the ISO had adequate reserves in RT, SCD should not be allowed to produce RT price reductions relative to what BME is doing. However, having said this, if there are no energy resources to maintain reserve levels AND the ISO needs to maintain its regulation room, the next thing to go is load. To my long understanding, we do not shed load to avoid shedding load (at least not to maintain reserves...) Perhaps if BME has some adjustments and the missing Mws are accounted for, little needs to be done in RT. (This does not mean that SCD handles GTs correctly - that is still a commit problem it is incapable of resolving...) 3 At one point, we had approved use of BME prices to settle all HA transactions. This approach was scuttled by the ISO when they discovered that there were persistent, unidirectional price differences between the proxy busses and their connected in-NY zones. We then retreated to automating what is done under ECA B; substituting BME prices only under constrained ramp or ATC conditions. The ISO should review this again. Does the price difference remain, inviting gaming? If so, is there a way for the MMU to watch for or prevent inappropriate opportunistic behavior? A full, partial 3rd settlement would lessen the sting of HA prices that are out of synch with RT. 4 The ISO should review the multipliers in the LP solution that insure that energy, then regulation and then the 3 types of reserve are maintained. They should be no more than required for a proper solution outcome. Prices at $65000 are not necessary and misleading (while mathematically correct...). Also, if we are to consider settling transactions at BME prices, such an outcome would result in considerable opposition... 5 Another non-controversial change would be to extend the DADRP participants to hour ahead evaluation. In the instant circumstance, it is likely that BME would have chosen some of those loads opposed to imports (there was no congestion so some of those western loads might have looked pretty good...). Since there is the issue that the DADRP is subsidized, I would propose that, if extended to BME, that the DA bids be used for BME evaluation. If nothing else look at it as sending money to companies in NYS. Jim",Public "My 12 yr old son and I have a snot free cold for last week. We have really had to push ourselves hard.

Marcos will charge the opposition with being soft on the communists and anti-American; he will pull out all the stops in attempting to discredit Laurel's personal life and his family's wealth and its Japanese ties, past and present; and he and Imelda will also use whatever weapons they - and the intelligence services - can find to smear Cory Aquino. We believe that there is a possibility that Marcos, under US encouragement and pressure and believing his own propaganda, will want the mechanics of the election to be reasonably honest. He probably feels that he can afford to lose 30 or even 40 percent of the vote and still be perceived as having won a resounding victory. Nevertheless, he will want to ensure a safe margin and, at this point, is very likely prepared if necessary to manipulate the final tallying of the votes and certification of the winner by COMELEC. If the initial unofficial results begin to come in and Marcos is faced with the prospect of defeat, the odds are that he will order a manipulation of the count. In this scenario, the announcement of local and provincial results would probably be held up while the totals were adjusted. For Marcos, defeat would portend not simply retirement from office but probable retribution for himself and his family for past corruption and for the murder of Aquino. Those around him like Ver and the Romualdezes would very likely press him to take extreme measures. At this point, COMELEC's role would become critical. If Marcos Wins Without Fraud With all of his assets, Marcos could win an election which was perceived as reasonably honest, and thereby restore a degree of legitimacy to his government. In this case, he could launch a period of proclaimed reform, and it is not impossible that he could regain a bit of psychological momentum for some period of time. But we doubt this could last long. At a minimum, he will presumably at last have a vice president who could hopefully manage a stable succession. If Marcos Steals the Election If it were clear that Marcos had stolen the election, the results could be profound, but it is difficult to predict what will happen. Certainly, many moderates might opt out, emigrate, or offer their sympathy or support to the NPA. The alienation of the middle classes could pass the point of no return. Reformers would possibly attempt a military coup. If the attempt failed, the political and security environment would further deteriorate. Given Marcos' health, many, however, might just urge waiting Marcos out. Whatever the impact, it is conceivable that as long as his health held out, Marcos might be able to retain power. If so, the resultant polarization of Philippine society between Marcos supporters and the communists would give a possibly decisive boost to the communists.

ADP-W AISI TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20301 30 NOV 1974 MEMORANDUM FOR LIEUTENANT GENERAL BRENT SCOWCROFT, DEPUTY ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR NATIONAL SECURITY AFFAIRS SUBJECT: Changes In U.S. Force Levels on Taiwan (C) (TS) This memorandum responds to your verbal request for alternative plans to accomplish a 25, 50 and 100 percent phase-down of nonintelligence forces on Taiwan. (TS) Projected U.S. nonintelligence force strengths on Taiwan for end FY 1974 and end FY 1975 are 3,550 and 2,277 respectively. Composition of these force levels is covered in Annex A. Alternative plans for a 25, 50 and 100 percent phase-down of U.S. nonintelligence personnel remaining on Taiwan at end FY 1975 are outlined in subsequent paragraphs. (TS) The following actions, listed in order of priority, represent the 25 percent phase-down plan (column II, Annex A): a. (TS) Utilize contractor personnel to accomplish some of the War Reserve Materiel (WRH) storage, to support the depot maintenance function, and to perform base security functions at Tainan Air Base. This will permit a reduction of 282 spaces. b. (TS) Reduce the U.S. Air Force communications group at Ching Chuan Kang (CCK) Air Base, thereby saving 92 spaces. c. (TS) Phase out the 327th Air Division and reduce associated support at Taipei Air Station and other operating locations, thereby saving 411 spaces. These foregoing actions would result in a saving of 785 spaces which constitutes a 34 percent reduction. (TS) The following actions, listed in order of priority, represent the 50 percent phase-down plan (Column IV, Annex A): a. (TS) Reduce United States Navy support personnel in Taipei by 84 spaces. Classified by... 7SR CSA) nen neeene , W SUBJECT TO GENERAL DECLASSIFICATION SCHEDULE OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 11652. AUTOMATICALLY DECLASSIFIED AT TWO YEAR INTERVALS. DECLASSIFIED ONAZ military functions. (TS) In summary, we conclude that a 34 percent reduction (25 percent phase-down plan) in U.S. nonintelligence force levels on Taiwan is feasible with relatively minor costs and without reducing essential military functions. reductions could possibly be achieved by merging some functions (e.g., TDC/MAAG) or by contracting for some services, these would likely be minor and would not significantly impact the overall effectiveness of TDC. b. Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) (1) The MAAG is presently authorized 103 personnel (91 military and 12 civilian). The MAAG is responsible for providing military assistance and advice to the ROC Armed Forces. Key functions include: (a) Advising the ROC Armed Forces on the most effective use of US-provided equipment and training. (b) Providing training assistance in the use of US-provided equipment and in military operations and techniques. (c) Monitoring the effectiveness of US-provided equipment and training. (d) Administering the US military assistance program in the ROC. (2) While some reduction could feasibly be made below the current authorized level of 103 personnel, performance of the above functions would be seriously degraded. Although some reductions could possibly be achieved by merging some functions (e.g., TDC/MAAG) or by contracting for some services, these would likely be minor and would not significantly impact the overall effectiveness of MAAG. c. US Army Security Agency (USASA) (1) The USASA is presently authorized 39 personnel (30 military and 9 civilian). The USASA is responsible for providing communications intelligence (COMINT) support to CINCPAC. Key functions include: (a) Operating and maintaining a COMINT facility at Taipei. (b) Providing COMINT training and assistance to US Forces and military/nonmilitary US agencies in the ROC. (c) Providing COMINT support to US Forces and military/nonmilitary US agencies in the ROC. (2) While some reduction could feasibly be made below the current authorized level of 39 personnel, performance of the above functions would be seriously degraded. Although some reductions could possibly be achieved by merging some functions (e.g., TDC/MAAG) or by contracting for some services, these would likely be minor and would not significantly impact the overall effectiveness of USASA. d. US Air Force Security Service (USAFSS) (1) The USAFSS is presently authorized 36 personnel (26 military and 10 civilian). The USAFSS is responsible for providing communications intelligence (COMINT) support to CINCPAC. Key functions include: (a) Operating and maintaining a COMINT facility at Taipei. (b) Providing COMINT training and assistance to US Forces and military/nonmilitary US agencies in the ROC. (c) Providing COMINT support to US Forces and military/nonmilitary US agencies in the ROC. (2) While some reduction could feasibly be made below the current authorized level of 36 personnel, performance of the above functions would be seriously degraded. Although some reductions could possibly be achieved by merging some functions (e.g., TDC/MAAG) or by contracting for some services, these would likely be minor and would not significantly impact the overall effectiveness of USAFSS. Annex 8 TOP SECRET - SENSITIVE ferred to the military departments. It is estimated that 100 of these spaces could be absorbed by the military departments, but the remaining 38 spaces would have to be filled by contract or local hire. This would be costly and would result in a significant reduction in the quality of technical support. Additionally, a 100 percent reduction would preclude the possibility of expansion of the IJCS-PAC system to meet increased requirements. A 50 percent reduction in the US military personnel requirements for USACC-Taiwan would be a more realistic goal. This would leave approximately 200 military spaces to be transferred to the military departments. Under this scenario, the remaining 200 spaces could be filled by contract or local hire. The cost to the US Government for contract support would be approximately $5.5 million per year. This cost would be offset by the savings achieved by the transfer of the 200 spaces to the military departments. d. Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) (1) The DMA is currently authorized 10 personnel (four military and six civilians). The DMA provides mapping, charting, and geodetic support to US military forces and other authorized users. This support is essential to the security of the island and the effectiveness of US forces. (2) DMA personnel provide the following key functions: (a) Provide mapping, charting, and geodetic support to US forces and other authorized users. (b) Conduct surveys, prepare maps, and provide geodetic data to support military operations and planning. (c) Provide geodetic control for navigation, weapons delivery, and other military operations. (d) Provide geodetic support for civil defense and disaster relief. (3) DMA personnel are essential to the security of the island and the effectiveness of US forces. The DMA mission is unique and cannot be provided by other agencies. While some functions could be Annex 8 TOP SECRET - SENSITIVE performed by local hire or contractors, the quality and security of the support would be degraded. Additionally, the DMA provides essential support to other US Government agencies and the ROC. A 100 percent reduction in DMA personnel would seriously degrade the quality and timeliness of this support. A 50 percent reduction would be more realistic, but would still result in a degradation of support to US forces and other authorized users. Therefore, a 25 percent reduction is recommended. d. Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) (1) The DMA is currently authorized 10 personnel (four military and six civilians). The DMA provides mapping, charting, and geodetic support to US military forces and other authorized users. This support is essential to the security of the island and the effectiveness of US forces.

A 50 percent reduction would be more realistic, but would still result in a degradation of support to US forces and other authorized users. Therefore, a 25 percent reduction is recommended. facilities on Taiwan would result in a significant decrease in the operational readiness of US and MAP aircraft in the region, as well as a loss of support for US and MAP aircraft undergoing depot-level maintenance. This would have a direct impact on the ability of US and MAP forces to meet their operational commitments in the area. (2) Cost. The estimated annual cost of contracting for depot maintenance and support services in lieu of using the current AFLC detachments on Taiwan is $2 million. This estimate includes the cost of transportation of aircraft to and from the depot maintenance facility, as well as the cost of contracting for maintenance services. (3) Personnel. If the current AFLC detachments on Taiwan were inactivated, 70 military personnel and 36 civilian personnel would be affected. These personnel would be reassigned or returned to the CONUS. However, if the depot maintenance facilities were relocated to another location in the Pacific, approximately 40 military personnel and 36 civilian personnel would still be required to support the operations. f. Operational Support Airlift (OSA). There are currently approximately 50 military personnel assigned to this activity. (1) OSA aircraft are required to provide airlift support for US and MAP military personnel and cargo throughout the Pacific area. If Taiwan were lost as a base for OSA operations, the aircraft would have to be relocated to another Pacific base. This would result in an estimated annual increase of 2,000 flying hours for the aircraft involved. (2) Cost. The estimated annual cost of this increase in flying hours is $500,000. (3) Personnel. If the OSA aircraft were relocated to another base in the Pacific, approximately 50 military personnel would still be required to support the operations. TOP SECRET - SENSITIVE Could only be done at great cost and degradation to the present depot maintenance requirements. (2) Loss of the depot maintenance facilities on Taiwan would result in an approximate additive cost of $46 million dollars to the USAF portion of the maintenance contract and $13 million dollars to the Navy and Marine portion (per FY, based on current contract hourly cost differential between Taiwan and the United States). Other cost additives for which estimates are not available include those associated with longer ferry time of aircraft to CONUS vice Taiwan. f. Support Personnel (1) A 100 percent reduction of non-intelligence personnel would remove all support personnel presently on Taiwan, leaving the intelligence community completely without support. Since such support is necessary, 75 personnel (50 Navy and 25 Air Force) would be required to provide medical/dental, service, personnel service (administrative, postal, and air morale-related), and logistics and transportation support for the intelligence community. (2) Similarly, if some of the TOC, MAAG, USACC-Taiwan, WRM storage, and aircraft depot maintenance personnel remain on Taiwan, additional support personnel would be required to provide those agencies with essential support. The total number of support personnel required would, of course, vary with the total personnel remaining on Taiwan. Although not linear, the requirement would vary from 75 personnel (intelligence support only) to approximately 614 personnel. g. Summary (1) In summary, there are functions/forces on Taiwan that rate priority for remaining on Taiwan and should remain as long as possible. The first two functions can be performed elsewhere or transferred to the DAO, Taipei, without major cost but would likely cause major political turbulence with the Republic of China. The third function can be accomplished by contracting for the majority of the communication service at significant unprogrammed cost cited above or by mission reduction. The next two functions can be accomplished elsewhere or by contracting for the service at a cost cited above. Support personnel relate to all of the functions remaining on Taiwan and would be reduced as the supported functions below are phased down. Function Number TOC 83 MAAG 50 USACC-Taiwan 427 WRM Storage 75 Aircraft Depot Maintenance 70 (2) Minor additional reductions could possibly be made by merging some functions (e.g., TDC/MAAG) or by contracting for some services.

The Chinese also expressed their belief that the U.S. is not likely to conclude a mutual defense treaty with Taiwan, as this would be a violation of the Communique. REPRODUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES DECLASSIFIED By LTT NARA Date TOP SECRET/CODEWORD People's Republic of China Options Study of Approaches to President Ford's Trip to PRC Completed I have completed, in cooperation with Win Lord and Phil Habib at State, a detailed analysis of various approaches you might take in organizing President Ford's trip to Peking later this year. The study also takes a look at timing options on your own advance trip. In the conclusion, we request an opportunity to receive your guidance on the approach you wish us to take as we pursue advance planning on these trips. PRCLO Officials Express Concern Ford Might Not Visit China PRC Liaison Office officials are now actively replaying Teng Hsiao-p'ing's public comments of June 2 to the effect that China will welcome President Ford on his visit later this year even if he is not prepared to promote greater progress on the Taiwan question. Political Counselor Tsien Ta-yung, during a small dinner with two American academics, emphasized that China would not push the U.S. on the Taiwan question. He said that while the PRC was not prepared to compromise on the principles involved, they would just ""let the issue lie"" for the time being. He stressed that the problem of Soviet expansionism requires that the U.S. and China cooperate on international issues. He went into some detail in describing (in a sympathetic tone) some of the domestic difficulties the President faces, and then emphasized that Mr. Ford should come to Peking despite these problems in order to maintain an active relationship on the more pressing security problems of concern to the U.S. and PRC. We take Tsien's comments as further indication that Peking has given its diplomats internal guidance directing them to emphasize in public contacts the line that our current relations are satisfactory, and that the President's trip should proceed under any circumstance. We believe Chinese officials are somewhat concerned the President might postpone his trip. Tsien also surprised his academic guests by responding very positively to their suggestion that it was in the mutual interest of both China and the U.S. to ""expand"" the current exchange program. Tsien seemed to have in mind only a numerical expansion of the current pattern, inasmuch as he TOP SECRET/CODEWORD was rather noncommittal to their suggestions that the time was ready for a ""qualitative change"" in the nature of the program to include new types of contacts (such as joint scientific research programs). An intercepted message reporting the results of a dinner which PRCLO Chief Huang Chen gave for Iranian officials provides more detail on current Chinese attitudes toward the American political scene. PRC officials told the Iranians that there appears to be a diffusion of foreign policy authority at the White House, with your own influence diluted by the greater initiative taken in foreign affairs by the President and Messrs. Hartmann and Rumsfeld. PRCLO Deputy Chief Han Hsu spent considerable time with the Iranians (as he has with other visitors in the past several months) discussing purported differences in approach to national security issues between yourself and Secretary of Defense Schlesinger. The Chinese official emphasized that the Pentagon is not very optimistic about detente, a position which the Chinese appreciate. Han also emphasized to the Iranians the PRC's current concern about the Soviet Union's new opportunities for gaining influence in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean. Other Iranian officials were told by the Chinese that the U.S. is in the process of fulfilling its Shanghai Communique commitment to further reduce its forces on Taiwan. They were also told that the U.S. is not likely to sell F-5E aircraft to Taiwan, as this would upset the balance of forces in the Taiwan Strait. The Chinese also expressed their belief that the U.S. is not likely to conclude a mutual defense treaty with Taiwan, as this would be a violation of the Communique. We were also told that the Chinese government did not encourage North Korean leader Kim Il-sung to take advantage of the current atmosphere in Asia and in the U.S. to launch more aggressive actions against South Korea. PRC Tensions with Moscow and Hanoi Over Southeast Asian Developments Revealed An intercept reporting a recent conversation between the Chinese ambassador to Albania and his Italian counterpart adds weight to indications that Beijing's relations with Hanoi and Moscow over developments in Southeast Asia are quite strained. The intercept reports the Chinese ambassador commenting to the Italian official that Sino-Soviet relations in Southeast Asia are ""continually worsening."" Beijing is dissatisfied with Hanoi's policies, which seem to represent a Soviet point of view, and is concerned as well about North Vietnamese ""chauvinism."" The Chinese see Hanoi as assertive in pressing through military action the Vietnamese claim to contested islands in the Gulf of Siam, which has put Hanoi in conflict with the new Cambodian regime. The Chinese official also indicated that the reunification of Vietnam is considered inevitable but not desirable from a PRC point of view. TOP SECRET/CODEWORD",Restricted "Text of telegram 84MANILA034898 Rebecca Quijano, believed to be the new famous “Crying Lady” who may have been a witness to the August 21, 1983 assassination of former Senator Benigno Aquino at the Manila International Airport, has surfaced in Manila and is currently in the custody of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Quijano was a passenger aboard the China Airlines plane which brought Aquino from Taipei to Manila on the day of his assassination. She was seen in news photographs and videotapes of the events which immediately followed the killing, in tears, exclaiming ""They shot him! Why aren't you crying?"" (translation from Tagalog) to others at the scene. The Agrava Board which investigated the assassination tried to obtain her testimony on numerous occasions, but never succeeded. Quijano was arrested on December 13 by NBI agents in her room at a downtown Manila hotel on outstanding charges of ""estafa"" (fraud or swindling) and car theft. She has been in the custody of NBI agents since her arrest and is represented by Raul Gonzales, a noted Manila trial lawyer and president of the National Bar Association. Gonzales was, until his withdrawal in June (reported in RefTel), a sometimes participant in hearings of the Agrava Board on behalf of the National Bar Association. Representatives of the Philippine Constabulary, Central Investigative Service (PC-CIS) have attempted to speak with Quijano, but Gonzales has blocked these efforts on the grounds that the PC-CIS has no legal charter to investigate the Aquino case, as it is now in the hands of the Tanodbayan (anti-corruption prosecutor). Gonzales has requested the Tanodbayan to place her in its protective custody, and the Tanodbayan has agreed to this request and has deputized the NBI as the custodian of Quijano, as it does not have its own facilities or personnel for this purpose. Gonzales is now making efforts to have Quijano's testimony – whatever it may be – preserved by means of a deposition. Comment – This new development in the Aquino assassination inquiry could potentially provide valuable information and insights into the events surrounding the killing. The fact that Quijano has been in hiding for over a year and has only now surfaced raises questions about her motives and credibility.

I saved the broken tooth piece in a cup of milk in the refrigerator. The piece is fairly small (bottom corner chipped off). What are my options to get my tooth fixed? It does not hurt but it is a little sharp to the touch. Hi. That is good that you saved the part of the tooth. But actually little chipped off part of the tooth cannot be reattached to the tooth by any means. But if whole tooth and its root somehow got knocked out of socket while you fell down or so and that tooth is kept immediately under your saliva or milk and then re-implanted at the same place within one hour then this tooth definitely gets saved. But, unfortunately, its broken part is hard to re-attach. You should get filling of it done as soon as possible and get sharp edges trimmed else it will hurt your tongue or lips.

Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days.

Our family friend suggested me to consume Kalarchikai medicine, powdered mixed with pepper and honey to have it for one mandalam (48 days). I have completed nearly 44 days by consuming one small ball of the mixture every morning and before two weeks I got my periods. Then I had checked whether the cysts were dissolved by having an abdomen scan. But still, small multiple follicules have been seen in it with both ovaries enlarged. Kindly suggest me what I can do further. I got married before one and a half years and I am much worried about my pregnancy. I have gallstones as well. Hello. I just read your query. See Kalarachi Kai choornam is helpful in amenorrhea. As far as small cysts are concerned they are unmatured eggs which failed to induce menstrual cycle previously, as a result, they got collected in the ovary and they will remain in the ovary. Now, you have got your periods you can start trying for conception. But I advise you to do it under the supervision of a nearby gynecologist because egg size is important while conception and that you can know by ovulation study. Ovulation study is performed under the supervision of a gynecologist. For gall stones, surgical intervention is required generally.

It has been three hours now but there has been no dizziness, severe pain or fluid flow. I played soccer on the beach and drove scooter over 10 km in between without any issues. All I feel now is a slight pain in my ear when I put my small finger inside the ear. I wish to know whether there will be any future trouble if no major symptoms prevail during the first few hours? Also, I am considering scuba diving (beginners session) tomorrow. Can I take the classes? Hello. You seem to be asymptomatic. Pain while putting finger can be due to mild edema of the external ear canal due to injury. Since you do not have any symptoms suggestive of middle ear involvement, I do not think you will have any problem in the future. But to be on the safer side you please take anti-inflammatory enzymes like Trypsin and Chymotrypsin for three days which will reduce any inflammation present. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicines. Regarding scuba diving, I would advise you to avoid for a week or go ahead only after ear examination. By any chance, if you have injured your eardrum then diving will increase the chances of infection.

Saas sp eS who fear that the 1987 Presidential election could be heavily influenced by the likely KBL party setbacks in the 1986 local elections, favor such a course. The KBL launched a trial balloon last week for an early election. Marcos has opposed the idea but has left room for maneuvering. The opposition likes the idea, and Salvador Laurel's UNIDO coalition has officially supported moving both elections up to late 1985 or early 1986. We see certain advantages in an early Presidential election, which if credible, could help clear the air and create a government with greater public confidence. However, Ambassador Bosworth has been carefully noncommittal when approached on the idea. Always ready to see an American hand in political developments, the Manila rumor mill has nonetheless speculated that the US is behind the early election idea. The Casey visit, coming at a time when speculation was at its height, seems to have reinforced such rumors. We have issued press guidance to the effect that the USG has not taken a position on this issue and has made no proposals or suggestions regarding the timing of elections. Attachment: 99.

I m very concerned that I could have an ectopic, but am wondering the chances of that happening. Hi, In the current scenario, I would advise you to go for a trans-vaginal sonogram to exclude any local causes for the amenorrhoea. If you are not pregnant, and as your hormonal profile is normal, then the cause for the delayed period could be inadequate ovarian function as you have only one ovary left and owing to your age, the ovarian reserve of your other ovary is also likely to be less.

Just to be on the safer side, we wanted to use the emergency contraceptive pill. But due to some restriction in the country where we live, Plan B or emergency contraceptive pills are not available. I read that Yasmin, which is used as a regular contraceptive pill can be used as an emergency contraceptive pill at a higher dosage. Can Yasmin be used as an emergency contraceptive pill? And at what dosage? Hi. How are you doing? Yes, as you have heard, Yasmin can be used as an emergency pill. Even if you have not ejaculated into her, she stands a chance of pregnancy if the pre-seminal fluid, the clear fluid that comes out before semen, which is rich in young healthy sperms, comes in contact with her genitals. As soon as possible, earlier the better, I suggest taking four tablets of Yasmin (combination of Ethinyl Estradiol and Drospirenone) at the time, repeat four more tablets after 12 hours. This being a high dose of hormones, it will suddenly increase the inner lining of the uterus. Then as it is a single dose, the inner lining will fall off. This makes it unfavorable for the possible embryo or baby to settle into the uterus. She will get her periods within 7 to 10 days of the last pill. But do not keep repeating this frequently, it can disturb the hormonal balance and can reduce the effectiveness of the pill. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start taking the medicines after their consent. This is an old method, but it is an effective emergency method. Just do not delay the pills. As time passes by, the effectiveness reduces. Hope I have clarified your query, do write back. All the best.

It is normally treated with metformin/glucophage and weight loss for most persons. If the person does not wish to conceive then an oral contraceptive pill which can normalise the period is used, if the woman wishes to conceive then additional medication to assist ovulation (release of a normal ovum or egg) can be used.

TOLENTINO SAID HE DOES NOT THINK THE OPPOSITION WILL BE ABLE TO FIELD A SINGLE CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, AND HE THOUGHT THAT THE OPPOSITION MIGHT NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO FIELD A SINGLE SLATE OF CANDIDATES FOR THE LOCAL ELECTIONS. 5. WOLFOWITZ ASKED TOLENTINO TO COMMENT ON THE LINKAGE BETWEEN THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SITUATIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES AND THE INSURGENCY. TOLENTINO SAID THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WAS A KEY FACTOR IN THE INSURGENCY, BUT THAT THE INSURGENCY WAS ALSO AFFECTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. HE SAID THAT IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE INSURGENCY, THE GOVERNMENT NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE ECONOMIC ROOTS OF THE PROBLEM. HE ALSO NOTED THAT THE INSURGENCY WAS NOT LIMITED TO THE PHILIPPINES, BUT WAS PART OF A REGIONAL PROBLEM. 6. WOLFOWITZ ASKED TOLENTINO ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE ELECTION CODE. TOLENTINO SAID THAT THE CODE WAS STILL IN THE EARLY STAGES OF DELIBERATION AND THAT HE HOPED TO HAVE SOMETHING READY FOR THE PRESIDENT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. HE SAID THAT THE CODE WOULD BE BASED ON THE CONSTITUTION AND WOULD PROVIDE FOR FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE CODE WOULD ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF POLITICAL PARTY REFORM, INCLUDING THE ISSUE OF PARTY FINANCING. 7. WOLFOWITZ EXPRESSED HIS CONCERN ABOUT THE POSSIBLE IMPOSITION OF MARTIAL LAW IN THE PHILIPPINES. TOLENTINO RESPONDED THAT HE DID NOT THINK MARCOS WOULD IMPOSE MARTIAL LAW, BUT THAT HE COULD NOT RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY COMPLETELY. HE SAID THAT THE GOVERNMENT WAS COMMITTED TO MAINTAINING DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES AND THAT HE DID NOT THINK THEY WOULD TAKE ANY STEPS THAT WOULD LEAD TO MARTIAL LAW. 8. WOLFOWITZ THANKED TOLENTINO FOR HIS INSIGHTS AND SAID THAT HE WOULD BE INTERESTED IN RECEIVING ANY FURTHER INFORMATION OR UPDATES ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES. TOLENTINO SAID HE WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE UPDATES AND THAT HE HOPED TO SEE WOLFOWITZ AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. THE MEETING ENDED ON A FRIENDLY NOTE WITH TOLENTINO THANKING WOLFOWITZ FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MEET WITH HIM AND WOLFOWITZ THANKING TOLENTINO FOR HIS HOSPITALITY. INTERNATIONAL DONORS TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE FOR THE PHILIPPINE ELECTION PROCESS. TOLENTINO AGREED AND EMPHASIZED THAT THE 1984 ELECTIONS HAD BEEN THE FIRST NATIONAL ELECTIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES IN WHICH NO MAJOR IRREGULARITIES WERE REPORTED. HE ALSO NOTED THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS HAD BEEN THE FIRST IN WHICH THE INCUMBENT PRESIDENT HAD BEEN DEFEATED. TOLENTINO SAID HE BELIEVED THE PHILIPPINES WAS NOW READY TO CONDUCT FAIR ELECTIONS WITHOUT INTERNATIONAL OBSERVERS. It was that political reform was indeed occurring in the Philippines and underlined the importance of NAMFREL in this regard. Tolentino agreed that NAMFREL had been important to safeguard the election, but felt that NAMFREL would not have been as effective without good legislation already in place. He said he had pushed hard for the suspension of some of the presidential decrees, so that individuals could not be charged for acts committed in the election campaign. He said Marcos was originally against the move, arguing that he had already suspended the relevant decrees during the election period. Tolentino, however, argued that the period after the elections was more important since an individual could conceivably be charged after the election for acts committed during the election. Given Marcos’ attitude, the KBL voted against Tolentino’s proposal, which received only two votes, his and one other. Fortunately, however, someone heard him ""muttering"" that he might as well resign if this is the sort of treatment he is to be accorded by his own party. Tolentino said it was not just the vote itself, but the way the KBL treated him, pushing through the vote at midnight over his protest. The next day he received a call from Marcos asking about reports that he intended to resign. Tolentino told the president that he was thinking about it. He explained to Marcos that he was simply trying to institute provisions which would cause the whole world to recognize that the Philippines had held free elections. Tolentino said Marcos thereupon changed his position completely. ECONOMY AND THE POLITICAL SITUATION. TOLENTINO SAID HE HAD TOLD THE PRESIDENT THAT HE SHOULD STRENGTHEN HIS ADMINISTRATION BY MAKING IT MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF PHILIPPINE SOCIETY. HE SAID THAT PRESIDENT MARCOS HAD REPLIED THAT HE WAS NOT AGAINST THIS BUT THAT THE TIME WAS NOT YET RIPE FOR SUCH A MOVE. 11. WOLFOWITZ ASKED HOW THE OPPOSITION WOULD CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE KBL IN THE LOCAL ELECTIONS. TOLENTINO REPLIED THAT THERE WERE TWO MAIN AREAS OF ATTACK. THE FIRST WOULD BE THE ECONOMY, AS MENTIONED ABOVE. THE SECOND WOULD BE THE ISSUE OF CORRUPTION. HE SAID THAT THE OPPOSITION WOULD QUESTION THE ECONOMIC POLICIES OF THE KBL AND THE ADMINISTRATION, AND WOULD TRY TO LINK THE PRESIDENT’S FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO THE CORRUPTION ISSUE. BILLS ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. WOLFOVITZ SAID HE WAS NOT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE BILLS PASSING. THE PRESIDENT WOULD NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE ON THIS ISSUE. TOLENTINO SAID HE HAD HEARD THAT THE PRESIDENT HAD TOLD THE HOUSE SPEAKER THAT HE WOULD NOT SIGN THE BILL IF IT WAS APPROVED BY THE HOUSE. WOLFOVITZ SAID THAT THE PRESIDENT HAD NOT YET TOLD HIM THAT. TOLENTINO SAID THAT THE PRESIDENT WAS NOT INTERESTED IN THE ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE BILL. WOLFOVITZ SAID THAT THE PRESIDENT WAS NOT INTERESTED IN THE ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF THE BILL. 11. NSC STAFFER CHILDRESS ASKED WHETHER THE AQUINO KILLING WOULD STILL AFFECT THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS. TOLENTINO REPLIED THAT AQUINO'S DEATH WOULD CERTAINLY AFFECT THE ELECTIONS. REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL MERITS, I.E., WHETHER THE EVIDENCE WAS ADMISSIBLE UNDER CRIMINAL LAW, THE PEOPLE WOULD LOOK AT THE POLITICS OF THE CASE. 12. TOLENTINO SAID HE HAD ASKED ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE ARMITAGE WHETHER THE U.S. WOULD CALL MARCOS SECRETARY GENERAL 29N0 AND INSTRUCT HIM TO TURN OVER THE BILL. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THE BILL WAS PROPOSED AGAIN, AND THE HOUSE VOTED AGAINST IT. WOLFOVITZ RELATED THAT UNDER SECRETARY PRIMACOST SAID THE BILL WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE ELECTION PROCESS AND ATTRIBUTED THE SUCCESS OF THE OPPOSITION TO LOBBYING. 13. AMBASSADOR WOLFOVITZ FORECASTED A DIFFICULT SITUATION FOR THE PHILIPPINES IN THE NEAR FUTURE. HE SAID THAT THE PRINCIPAL ISSUE FOR THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS WOULD BE THE POLITICAL DEBATES OVER THE NEXT LEADERSHIP. WOLFOVITZ SAID THAT SINCE LOCAL ELECTIONS WOULD COME FIRST, THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE WAS THE ECONOMIC SITUATION - THE EFFECT OF STAGNATION AND LIFESTYLES. HE PREDICTED THAT THE OPPOSITION WOULD USE THE ECONOMIC SITUATION TO CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE MARCOS REGIME. HE SAID THAT THE INTENT WOULD BE TO GAIN THE POPULAR VOTE AND TO PREPARE FOR POSSIBLE VIOLENT PROTESTS IN THE 1986 ELECTIONS. 14. WOLFOVITZ SAID THAT THE PRESIDENT WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY WOLPOWITZ AND PARTY AND AMBASSADOR BOSWORTH CALLED ON FOREIGN MINISTER TOLENTINO JANUARY 14. THE DISCUSSION CENTERED ALMOST SOLELY ON THE DOMESTIC PHILIPPINE POLITICAL SITUATION. TOLENTINO DESCRIBED HIS EFFORTS, PAST AND PRESENT, TO ENCOURAGE REFORMULATION OF A GOOD ELECTION CODE AND TO DEVELOP A STRONG TWO-PARTY SYSTEM.

The Chinese side has suggested that the Cambodian side should propose a national reconciliation conference and a coalition government. The Chinese side also suggested that the Cambodian side should propose that all parties concerned should respect Cambodia's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and that Cambodia should be non-aligned.

If it is intestine and if there is any obstruction to intestine because of these you will develop above symptoms. Inside the hernia intestinal loops may twist and get obstructed.

Both he and Fulbright hammered on the question of why it was necessary to consult the Philippines at all on mounting combat operations from there against Vietnam - if the Vietnam War was a SEATO affair. They were told the question had not arisen because there had been no requirement to mount combat operations from the Philippines. 5.

He took particular umbrage at General Romulo's remarks last week regarding the continued U.S. presence in Asia and the need to renegotiate the base agreement, inferring that the latter was designed to get more money from the U.S. 7. The verbatim transcript is now being ""sanitized,"" and this may lead to further argument with the Committee. Thus far, press treatment has been minimal. The Committee has said it will not discuss the hearings with the press until the sanitized version is completed and would be greatly disturbed if we did not follow the same policy. 8. The Senators maintained throughout that their sole objective at this stage is simply to put all pertinent facts on the record. Discussions with policy makers in the Administration (possibly in open hearing) are promised for the future. END ROGERS",Confidential "Hello , I have 2 questions too ask you .

I have been struck by the degree of convergence between our approach at the January 20 Ambassadorial meeting and that of the PRC. Both sides were clearly testing the waters and avoiding past polemical issues. The Chinese, for example, continued to make references to the US ""occupation"" of Taiwan, but did not demand immediate and unconditional withdrawal as they have in the past. They also did not assert that the Chinese will decide for themselves whether to use peaceful or forceful means to ""liberate"" Taiwan. For the first time in years, they talked of ""fundamentally improving"" Sino-US relations and emphasized peaceful negotiations as the instrument for achieving this. 2. The Chinese proposal for a meeting at a higher level or through other channels, and our suggestion for sending a representative to either Peking or Washington, bring us surprisingly close to agreement on this subject. At the meeting, it was clear that neither side was entirely sure where to go next or exactly how to get there. 3. While the Chinese clearly have the Soviet Union in mind in any move to improve Sino-US relations, their decision to avoid other contentious issues such as air and sea intrusions, Vietnam, and alleged US-Soviet collusion against China, and to focus only on the key Taiwan issue, suggests that they may genuinely be interested in making progress. In any case, I believe we have moved to a situation that more closely resembles the mid-1950s than at any other time in the past twelve years. 4. While I do not wish to over-dramatize the positive aspects of the meeting, and I fully realize that Taiwan is the single most difficult question, it appears that the Chinese may be signaling to us that they are ready to move, but are finding it difficult to take the first step. 5. Peking obviously wants us to disengage completely from our support of the GRC. It is conceivable that they may now be interested in an indication that we are willing to disengage at least partially, in terms of our clear signal to them that we are not opposed to a peaceful PRC-GRC resolution. I am sure there are limitations on how much further we can go. However, I suspect that the Chinese may be aware of this and may be prepared to accept some sort of half-way house, provided that they have some symbolic ""change"" in US policy to show.

They may also be hoping to use the meeting to gain insights into U.S. policy and to test whether Washington is prepared to move forward on the ""higher-level meeting"" issue. In any case, the Chinese are clearly not prepared to break off the dialogue at this time. We are prepared to meet with the Chinese on May 20 in Warsaw. We believe that our position is clear and that we should not be hesitant about making our position known to the Chinese. We are prepared to make clear that we would be prepared to meet with the Chinese at any level in Peking at any time in the future. We are also prepared to make clear that we are prepared to meet with the Chinese in Warsaw in May, in Peking in June, or at any other time or place that the Chinese may suggest. We would hope that the Chinese would be prepared to meet with us at any time in the near future. SECRET/NODIS Because the Southeast Asian situation is so fluid and uncertain, it is important for them to maintain some contact with the U.S. They may have been waiting to see whether Chiang Ching-kuo's visit produced any new shifts in U.S. policy toward China. There could be other considerations relating to Sino-Soviet relations or other internal issues which are not visible to us at this time. In any event, Beijing still retains the flexibility to cancel or postpone the May 20 meeting if events between now and that time seem to them to make this desirable. There is, furthermore, the question of whether, assuming the May 20 meeting date holds up, the Chinese will continue to pursue the bilateral issues raised at our last two meetings, place a new focus on Indochina, or even revert to the polemical, sterile formulas which characterized their performance at earlier meetings. We believe a return to sterility is much less likely than either of the other two alternatives. The Chinese must be considering the difficult policy dilemmas they face in Southeast Asia and vis-a-vis the U.S. and the Soviet Union. There are probably divided counsels at the top in Beijing. While they may not have fully made up their minds yet as to what stance to take at the May meeting, we think that Beijing's interest in exploring the limits of U.S. policy toward Taiwan will incline it to continue along the same track as at the January and February meetings. We will review the guidance for Ambassador Stoessel's use at the next Sino-U.S. meeting approved by the President several weeks ago with a view to making appropriate recommendations on additions or changes in this guidance which might be desirable prior to the May 20 meeting.

REASON(S) STING MARKINGS FIRST, THE FILIPINOS HAVE GIVEN US A REMARKABLE DEMONSTRATION OF THEIR COMMITMENT TO DEMOCRACY.

I took her to a clinic and the doctor just said it was cradle cap and gave me fucidin cream to apply to her head.. it's 3 days later and it looks no better, in fact she seems to have developed a slightly different rash on her whole body now. Can you help me? Hello, The symptoms seem to be related to a bacterial infection. I suggest continuing using Fucidin cream as recommended by your doctor to treat the infection. I also recommend using Calamine lotion to relieve the symptoms. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,Had he taken any food items other than usual? Any history of atopy, like eczema or wheezing in the past? Welts indicates some form of allergic reaction, which may be associated with vomiting if there is mucosal involvement too. Many times we will not find out any specific cause.If he is otherwise active and playful, and not associated with breathing difficulty / stridor / swelling around lips and eyes, you can give antihistamine like hydroxyzine for 5 days and ondansetron for 2-3 days, both three times a day (dose depends on age and weight). Calamine lotion application over welts can have a soothing effect.If not getting down in 2 days or the above said features are present, kindly take him to doctor as he may need steroids too.

IN THE LAST DECADE. --WE BELIEVE CHINA SHARES OUR CONCERN ABOUT SOVIET EXPANSIONISM AND WE ARE INTERESTED IN HEARING YOUR VIEWS ON HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THIS CHALLENGE. --WE ARE ALSO INTERESTED IN DISCUSSING BILATERAL ISSUES AND WAYS TO FURTHER IMPROVE OUR RELATIONSHIP. --WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING WITH APPROPRIATE OFFICIALS IF THE CHINESE ARE INTERESTED. END FYI) TO PROJECT POWER AND INFLUENCE THROUGHOUT THE REGION. THEY HAVE INCREASED THEIR MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE PACIFIC AND ARE ACTIVELY SUPPORTING COMMUNIST REGIMES IN NORTH KOREA AND VIETNAM. -- IN SHORT, THE SOVIETS ARE USING ALL MEANS AT THEIR DISPOSAL TO EXPAND THEIR INFLUENCE AND THREATEN WORLD PEACE. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE RECOGNIZE THIS THREAT AND WORK TOGETHER TO COUNTER IT. -- THIS IS WHY PRESIDENT REAGAN HAS MADE IT A PRIORITY TO RESTORE AMERICA'S STRENGTH AND LEADERSHIP IN THE WORLD. WE ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH OUR ALLIES AND PARTNERS TO HALT AND TURN BACK SOVIET IMPERIALISM. TOGETHER, WE CAN BUILD A MORE PEACEFUL AND STABLE WORLD FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. To oppose the less obvious forms of Soviet aggression. This policy has met with the enthusiastic support of the European and Middle Eastern leaders with whom the President and I have met. -- We have already demonstrated a new resolve to come to the aid of embattled friends: El Salvador, Morocco, Egypt, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Thailand, among others. -- We will help them to engage Soviet proxies, and we will do so ourselves: be it Cuba, Libya, or Vietnam. -- We are enhancing the security and defense capabilities of US friends and allies through increased security assistance. We have added $900 million in budget authority above and beyond the 1982 security assistance request of the last administration. The increases are targeted on countries currently threatened by the Soviet Union or its proxies, such as El Salvador against Cuba, and Thailand against Vietnam. We are also providing assistance to Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, and other countries in the region to counter Soviet-backed threats. This support is a clear demonstration of our commitment to our friends and allies and our determination to resist Soviet aggression. SUDAN AGAINST LIBYA. events ova! WE HAVE ANNOUNCED A NEW, MORE OPEN, ARMS TRANSFER POLICY BASED ON A GREATER AWARENESS OF THE NEED OF OUR FRIENDS TO MATCH THE INCREASINGLY SOPHISTICATED ARMS THAT THE SOVIETS ARE SPREADING AROUND THE WORLD. -- THIRD, THIS ADMINISTRATION IS COMMITTED TO A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN OUR DEFENSE CAPABILITIES SO THAT WE CAN MEET AGGRESSION AT ANY LEVEL, WHENEVER IT MAY OCCUR. WE HAVE SECRET CLASSIFIED A J DECLASSIFIED SECRET ALREADY REQUESTED AN ADDITIONAL $32 BILLION TO THE LAST ADMINISTRATION'S DEFENSE BUDGET REQUESTS, AND HAVE PLANS TO SPEND ABOUT $200 BILLION OVER AND ABOVE WHAT THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION'S FIVE-YEAR DEFENSE PLAN ENVISAGED. IN NUCLEAR WEAPONS, WE ARE RESERVING THE DECISION OF OUR PREDECESSORS AND WE ARE BUILDING A NEW INTERCONTINENTAL BOMBER. WE ARE ARMING THE CURRENT BOMBERS WITH 3000 CRUISE MISSILES, AND WE ARE GOING TO DEPLOY A NEW LAND-BASED MISSILE IN EUROPE. WE HAVE GAINED ALLIED REAFFIRMATION OF THE DECISION TO DEPLOY MISSILES CAPABLE OF STRIKING MOSCOW, AND WE ARE SELLING A MIRVED SUBMARINE-LAUNCHED MISSILE TO THE BRITISH. IN THEATER WEAPONS, WE ARE COMPLETELY MODERNIZING THE ARMY WITH A NEW TANK, ARMORED FIGHTING VEHICLE, ROCKET LAUNCHER, ASSAULT HELICOPTER, AND THREE NEW ANTI-AIRCRAFT MISSILES. WE HAVE INCREASED PRODUCTION OF FIVE TYPES OF FIGHTER-BOMBERS. PREPOSITIONED WEAPONS ARE BEING SENT TO THE INDIAN OCEAN AND TO EUROPE. THE NAVY WILL GROW FROM 12 TO 15 CARRIER BATTLE GROUPS AND FROM 450 TO 600 SHIPS. SUBMARINES AND SURFACE SHIPS (INCLUDING TWO BATTLESHIPS) WILL BE EQUIPPED WITH LONG RANGE CRUISE MISSILES. INTERVENTION FORCES WILL BE AUGMENTED BY NEW AIR AND FAST SEA LIFT. WE ARE IMPROVING FACILITIES IN NORTH AFRICA AND THE INDIAN OCEAN. WE HAVE TAKEN THE PAPER RAPID DEPLOYMENT FORCE WE FOUND AND MADE IT A REAL COMMAND. SECRET CLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED SECRET THIS THREE-PART STRATEGY WILL PERMIT US TO TALK TO THE SOVIET UNION FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH, WHEN WE ARE ON THE UP TURN AND THEY ARE TURNING DOWN. AND WHEN WE TALK, IN THE AREA OF ARMS CONTROL AS WE WILL, BEGINNING WITH THEATER MISSILES, WE WILL INSIST ON ABSOLUTELY EQUITABLE AGREEMENTS THAT DO NOT INFRINGE ON OUR MILITARY REQUIREMENTS. AND WE WILL NOT TALK ABOUT ARMS CONTROL IN A VACUUM. WE HAVE ALREADY MADE IT CLEAR TO THE SOVIETS THAT WE WILL NOT DO BUSINESS AS USUAL WHILE THEY CONTINUE TO ACT AS INTERNATIONAL BRIGANDS. I AM NOT LOATHE TO STATE EXPLICITLY THAT THIS POLICY IS ONE OF LINKAGE. REGIONAL ANALYSIS LET ME OUTLINE HOW WE HAVE EMBARKED ON NEW POLICIES AND AUGMENTED OTHERS IN EVERY REGION OF THE WORLD TO MEET THESE THREATS. EUROPE IN EUROPE, THE SOVIET UNION TRIES TO SPLIT THE UNITED STATES AND ITS NATO ALLIES. WE BELIEVE THE ESSENTIAL WAY TO DEFEAT THAT TACTIC IS TO EXERCISE AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IN THE ALLIANCE, TO BRING OUR ALLIES TO RESIST THE SOVIET UNION MORE RESOLUTELY, WITHOUT CREATING PUBLIC DISAGREEMENTS BETWEEN ALLIANCE PARTNERS THAT WOULD SERVE SOVIET PURPOSES. SECRET CLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED SECRET WE HAVE ALREADY MOVED EFFECTIVELY TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE IN AMERICAN LEADERSHIP AND HAVE HAD NOTABLE SUCCESSES. OUR EFFORTS HAVE MET WITH WIDESPREAD SUPPORT, MUCH OF IT IN PUBLIC AND EVEN MORE IN THE PRIVATE MEETINGS THAT THE PRESIDENT AND I HAVE HAD. THE DECISION BY CHANCELLOR SCHMIDT TO STAKE HIS FULL PRESTIGE AND POSITION ON CONTINUED FRG SUPPORT OF THE LONG RANGE MISSILE BASING IS FIRST PROOF OF THE NEW CONFIDENCE NATO LEADERS HAVE IN AMERICAN LEADERSHIP OF THE ALLIANCE. THE BRITISH ARE GOING AHEAD WITH THE DOUBLING OF THEIR NUCLEAR FORCE IN ASIA USING OUR TRIDENT MISSILE. THE SPANISH ARE GOING AHEAD WITH THEIR PLAN TO JOIN NATO. THE TURKS ARE STABILIZING THEIR SITUATION AND WITH OUR HELP AND THE GERMANS', ARE REBUILDING. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD TALKS WITH THE NEW FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND BELIEVE THAT THEY SHARE OUR PERCEPTIONS THAT WE NEED T THE LIBYANS OUT OF AFRICA. TO INCREASE OUR DEFENSES AND ENGAGE SOVIET PROXIES SUCH AS LIBYA. NO NATO MINISTERS REAFFIRMED THEIR COMMITMENT TO CONTINUING 3% REAL GROWTH IN DEFENSE EXPENDITURES, AND LINKED FUTURE ARMS CONTROL TO SOVIET BEHAVIOR IN POLAND. SECRET -1T- 0 NATO’S UNIFIED RESPONSE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A SOVIET INVASION OF POLAND ILLUSTRATED THE BENEFITS GAINED FROM DECISIVE AND COHERENT US LEADERSHIP. ALTHOUGH NATO DID NOT PLAY A DIRECT MILITARY ROLE IN DETERRING SOVIET INTERVENTION, ITS UNITY AND WILLINGNESS, UNDER US LEADERSHIP, TO TAKE SEVERE ECONOMIC, DIPLOMATIC, AND POLITICAL REPRISALS AGAINST SOVIET AGGRESSION UNDOUBTEDLY CONTRIBUTED TO SOVIET RESTRAINT THUS FAR. MIDDLE EAST/SOUTHWEST ASIA WE SEE THE REGION FROM MOROCCO THROUGH THE ARAB STATES AND BEYOND TO PAKISTAN AS THE PRIMARY TARGET OF THE SOVIETS BECAUSE IT IS EXPERIENCING DESTABILIZING SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHANGE...BECAUSE IT IS ESSENTIAL TO THE ECONOMY OF THE WEST BECAUSE WE HAVE NO DEFENSES IN PLACE. WE ARE TAKING SEVERAL STEPS IN THIS AREA. I MADE CLEAR ON MY TRIP TO THE MIDDLE EAST THAT WE SEE THE PEACE PROCESS BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE ARAB STATES AS SUPPORTIVE OF OUR OVERALL GOAL OF CONTAINING THE SPREAD OF SOVIET SPONSORED INSTABILITY THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST BECAUSE THE SOVIETS USE THE LACK OF A SETTLEMENT TO EXACERBATE TENSIONS IN THE AREA. WE HAVE ESSENTIALLY ACHIEVED AGREEMENT ON A SINAI PEACEKEEPING FORCE. IN NORTH AFRICA, WE HAVE TAKEN STEPS TO INCREASE MILITARY AID AND THE LETHALITY OF WEAPONS TO MOROCCO, TUNISIA, AND EGYPT TO MEET SOVIET AGGRESSION THROUGH THEIR LIBYAN PROXIES. WE ARE DETERMINED TO WORK WITH ARAB AND AFRICAN STATES TO ROLLBACK QADHAFI. OUR DECISION TO PROVIDE SOPHISTICATED AIR FORCE EQUIPMENT TO SAUDI ARABIA (AWACS, ETC.) DEMONSTRATES OUR WILL- INGNESS TO BUILD STRONG REGIONAL FORCES TO DETER SOVIET AGGRESSION, EVEN WHEN THAT MEANS DOMESTIC POLITICAL PROBLEMS FOR US. IN THE PERSIAN GULF AND INDIAN OCEAN, WE ARE FORGING A NETWORK OF COOPERATING STATES WITH MODERN DEFENSES AND IMPROVED FACILITIES INTO WHICH WE CAN MOVE RAPIDLY IF WE ARE NEEDED. CON- STRUCTION IS ABOUT TO BEGIN ON FACILITIES IN OMAN, EGYPT, SOMALIA, KENYA, AND DIEGO GARCIA. PAKISTAN IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN OUR NEW POLICY. WE HAVE REAFFIRMED OUR SECURITY COMMITMENT. WE HAVE OFFERED A FIVE-YEAR ASSISTANCE PROGRAM INVOLVING $2 BILLION AND ARE WILLING TO PROVIDE THE MOST MODERN EQUIPMENT. WE HOPE TO COORDINATE OUR EFFORTS THERE CLOSELY WITH YOU. BY ENCOURAGING COOPERATION AMONG AREA STATES, BY ARMING AND ADVISING THEM, BY INCREASING OUR OWN PEACETIME MILI- TARY PRESENCE, AND BY GREATLY INCREASING OUR REINFORCEMENT CAPABILITIES, WE BELIEVE WE CAN DEFEAT SOVIET SPONSORED SUB- VERSION, AND DETER DIRECT SOVIET INTERVENTION BY INCREASING THE COST IN THE REGION AND THREATENING WAR-WIDENING. AFRICA IN AFRICA, WE HAVE MOVED ON A NUMBER OF FRONTS TO COUNTER THE SOVIET UNION AND ITS PROXIES. THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY THE SOVIET UNION COULD EXPLOIT IS THE NAMIBIA PROBLEM. THE NEW ADMINISTRATION HAS A VIGOROUS NEW APPROACH TO LIQUIDATING THIS SOVIET OPPORTUNITY. WE HAVE REOPENED CONTACT WITH SOUTH AFRICA TO INCREASE OUR INFLUENCE FOR A PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT IN NAMIBIA. BY EMPHASIZING CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES PRIOR TO ELECTIONS, WE HOPE TO GIVE SOUTH AFRICA THE CONFIDENCE TO PERMIT NAMIBIAN INDEPENDENCE WHILE LIMITING SOVIET INFLUENCE IN THE NEW GOVERNMENT. WE HAVE GOTTEN THE SUPPORT OF OUR MAJOR ALLIES IN THE CONTACT GROUP FOR THIS APPROACH. WE ARE GOING TO TRY TO USE THE NAMIBIAN INDEPENDENCE PROCESS TO ACHIEVE ONE OF OUR MAJOR GOALS: GETTING THE CUBANS OUT OF ANGOLA. WE HAVE BEGUN TO TAKE MEASURES AGAINST LIBYA AND YOU WILL SEE MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT ONES UNFOLD. I HAVE ALREADY MENTIONED OUR EFFORTS WITH THE ARAB STATES AGAINST LIBYA, WE ARE WORKING ON BOTH DIPLOMATIC AND MILITARY APPROACHES TO GET THE LIBYANS OUT OF AFRICA. vECLASSIFIED SECRET THE DEFENSE OF KOREA. WE ARE ENCOURAGING THE KOREANS TO TAKE AN INCREASING ROLE IN THEIR OWN DEFENSE, AND WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THEM TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL SECURITY SITUATION ON THE PENINSULA. O IN THE PACIFIC, WE ARE WORKING TO IMPROVE OUR RELA- TIONS WITH CHINA, AND WE ARE ENCOURAGING THE CHINESE TO PLAY A MORE RESPONSIBLE ROLE IN THE REGION. WE ARE ALSO WORKING TO IMPROVE OUR RELATIONS WITH THE SOVIET UNION, AND WE ARE ENCOURAGING THE SOVIETS TO PLAY A MORE CON- STRUCTIVE ROLE IN THE REGION AS WELL. O IN SUMMARY, OUR POLICY IN THE PACIFIC IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF REGIONAL COOPERATION AND ALLIANCE WITH OUR ALLIES AND FRIENDS. WE ARE WORKING TO STRENGTHEN OUR MILITARY POSTURE AND OUR ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL TIES IN THE REGION, AND WE ARE ENCOURAGING OUR ALLIES AND FRIENDS TO TAKE AN INCREASING ROLE IN THEIR OWN DEFENSE AND IN THE STABILITY OF THE REGION. We have demonstrated in El Salvador that we will not tolerate Soviet proxy interventionism. We have initiated a balanced but substantial effort to strengthen the centrist government against extremist forces. We have provided considerable military and economic assistance to help create an environment in which needed economic, social, and political reforms can take place. Our first priority, however, is to reduce and ultimately eliminate the externally supported insurgency. For the larger Central American/Caribbean region, we are actively fashioning an imaginative, bold approach which we hope will be the key to the region's stability. Again, this will be a balanced effort - a mixture of US economic aid and security assistance and actions by the local states themselves designed to eliminate the root causes of instability. We are confident this plan for the so-called Caribbean Basin will reduce opportunities for Soviet and Cuban-inspired upheaval; however, we are also prepared to deal with such upheaval and those who support it more directly if necessary. In East Asia and the Pacific, we are confident of our ability to successfully confront the Soviet challenge with the assistance of our Asian allies and friends and the maintenance of a strong US military posture in the region. In the coming weeks, I will be carrying a public message of renewed US support for the ASEAN nations which will provide a clear example of our policy of close consultation established early in the Reagan administration and already advanced through the successful visits of foreign, defense, and other ministers from most of the ASEAN states. We intend to continue our support for the ASEAN approach to the Kampuchea problem, including support for an international conference, and we have already increased our security assistance for the five member nations. Specifically, I will reaffirm our commitment to the security of Thailand under the Manila Pact. In my trip to ANZUS, which will be the first by a US Secretary of State to Wellington in some years, I will demonstrate renewed US emphasis on that alliance and seek to obtain continued participation by Australia and New Zealand in support of our increased military activities in the Western Indian Ocean. With Japan, today, the US enjoys almost a complete convergence of views on all major international issues, and bilateral relations are strong. We are encouraging the Japanese to develop credible self-defense capabilities and to increase their financial contributions to the maintenance of US forces there so that we can concentrate attention in areas, such as the Persian Gulf, which fall outside the US-Japan treaty area but have vital importance for both nations. We have also encouraged, and been encouraged by, the increased use of Japanese overseas development assistance in strategic places, such as Pakistan and Thailand, to bolster our common global defense posture. Prime Minister Suzuki's visit was perhaps the best US-Japan summit ever, far overshadowing in our minds the temporary controversies which have arisen since. In Korea, we have renewed our relationship with the leadership of ROK and reaffirmed our commitment to the defense of Korea. We are encouraging the Koreans to take an increasing role in their own defense, and we are working closely with them to improve the overall security situation on the peninsula. In the Pacific, we are working to improve our relations with China, and we are encouraging the Chinese to play a more responsible role in the region. We are also working to improve our relations with the Soviet Union, and we are encouraging the Soviets to play a more constructive role in the region as well. In summary, our policy in the Pacific is based on the principle of regional cooperation and alliance with our allies and friends. We are working to strengthen our military posture and our economic and political ties in the region, and we are encouraging our allies and friends to take an increasing role in their own defense and in the stability of the region. ER CHINA AS A COMMUNIST COUNTRY, AND TO GIVE THE PRESIDENT THE FLEXIBILITY TO ADJUST OUR RELATIONS WITH CHINA IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR POLICIES AND INTERESTS. -- WE ALSO INTEND TO MODIFY OUR EXPORT CONTROL REGULATIONS TO REFLECT THE REALITY THAT CHINA IS NOT A COMMUNIST COUNTRY AND THAT WE DO NOT REGARD IT AS A THREAT TO OUR SECURITY. WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONSULT CLOSELY WITH YOU ON THESE AND OTHER MATTERS OF MUTUAL CONCERN. vECLASSIFIED SECRET -~ THE US AND CHINA SHARE COMMON INTERESTS IN PROMOTING NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION AND PREVENTING NUCLEAR WAR. -- WE ARE PLEASED TO SEE CHINA'S COMMITMENT TO JOINING THE TREATY ON THE NON-PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS (NPT) AS A NON-NUCLEAR WEAPON STATE. WE URGE CHINA TO RATIFY THE COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR TEST BAN TREATY (CTBT) AND TO JOIN THE MISSILE TECHNOLOGY CONTROL REGIME (MTCR) AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. -- WE ALSO ENCOURAGE CHINA TO JOIN US IN SUPPORTING A VERIFIABLE BAN ON PRODUCTION OF FISSILE MATERIAL FOR NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND TO WORK WITH US IN SUPPORTING THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY (IAEA) TO ENSURE EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION OF SAFEGUARDS AGREEMENTS. -- AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY MADE CLEAR TO TAIPEI THAT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE ARMS SALES IS DEPENDENT ON THE MAINTENANCE OF A STABLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MAINLAND AND TAIWAN. -- WE HAVE ALSO MADE CLEAR THAT WE WILL NOT SELL TAIWAN WEAPONS WHICH WOULD ALTER THE MILITARY BALANCE IN THE TAIWAN STRAIT. -- WE ARE PREPARED TO DISCUSS WITH THE PRC THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEFENSIVE WEAPONS WHICH WE BELIEVE SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE TO TAIWAN. -- WE WOULD HOPE THAT SUCH DISCUSSIONS WOULD TAKE PLACE IN A SPIRIT OF MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE REDUCTION OF TENSIONS IN THE TAIWAN STRAIT. —-- SECRET vECLASSIFIED DIPLOMATIC, POLITICAL, AND MILITARY EFFORTS OF THE KAMPUCHEAN RESISTANCE. WE BELIEVE THESE EFFORTS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR THE VIABILITY OF OUR STRATEGY AND FOR THE FUTURE OF SOUTHEAST ASIA AS A WHOLE. -- WE UNDERSTAND THAT CHINA AND ASEAN ARE INCREASINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT THREATS TO THEIR SECURITY POSED BY VIETNAMESE EXPANSIONISM AND HANOI'S SUPPORT FOR INSURGENCIES IN THE REGION. WE SHARE THESE CONCERNS AND ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH YOU AND OTHERS TO ADDRESS THEM. -- WE ARE PLEASED THAT CHINA HAS TAKEN A LEADING ROLE IN OPPOSING VIETNAMESE AGGRESSION IN KAMPUCHEA AND SUPPORTING THE KAMPUCHEAN RESISTANCE. WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING OUR COOPERATION ON THIS ISSUE AND OTHERS OF MUTUAL INTEREST. -- WE ALSO APPRECIATE CHINA'S SUPPORT FOR THE PRINCIPLE OF SELF-DETERMINATION FOR THE PEOPLE OF KAMPUCHEA. WE BELIEVE THAT THE KHMER PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN LEADERSHIP AND DIRECTION, FREE FROM FOREIGN INTERFERENCE. -- WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SENSITIVITIES SURROUNDING THE ISSUE OF THE KHMER ROUGE AND THEIR PAST ACTIONS. WE HOPE THAT WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO FIND A PATH FORWARD THAT WILL MAXIMIZE INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE KAMPUCHEAN RESISTANCE AND ULTIMATELY LEAD TO A PEACEFUL RESOLUTION IN KAMPUCHEA. -- WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING OUR CLOSE COOPERATION WITH CHINA AND OTHER REGIONAL PARTNERS TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES POSED BY VIETNAM AND TO STRENGTHEN STABILITY AND SECURITY IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. AN ACHIEVE AND FOR THE SIGNAL IT SENDS OF CHINA'S INTEREST IN BETTER RELATIONS WITH INDIA. WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE CHINA TO TAKE STEPS TO IMPROVE RELATIONS WITH INDIA, AND WILL BE WATCHING CAREFULLY FOR SIGNS OF PROGRESS IN THIS DIRECTION. UNGA RESOLUTION ON KAMPUCHEA AS THE BEST BASIS FOR A SETTLEMENT IN KAMPUCHEA. THE USG FULLY SUPPORTS THE CONVENING OF AN INTER- NATIONAL CONFERENCE TO KEEP THE FOCUS ON KAMPUCHEA; TO ESTABLISH A VEHICLE FOR RESOLUTION OF THE ISSUE SHOULD HANOI DECIDE TO NEGOTIATE A SETTLEMENT; AND TO EXPLORE MODALITIES OF A SETTLEMENT. WE HOPE THAT THE CONFERENCE CAN ESTABLISH AN ONGOING MECHANISM TO PURSUE THESE SAME GOALS. WE WELCOME THE RALLYING OF THE KHMER TO OPPOSE THE VIETNAMESE OCCUPATION. SUCH FIGURES AS SON SANN AND SIHANOUK CLEARLY COULD PLAY KEY ROLES IN THE SEARCH FOR A SOLUTION. WE ARE LOOKING AT WAYS TO INCREASE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE TO THE KHMER OPPOSING THE VIETNAMESE. WE WILL STUDY EMERGING ALLIANCES AMONG THE KHMER AND CONSULT CLOSELY WITH ASEAN AND CHINA ON HOW WE CAN BEST HELP. WE WILL NOT PRESSURE THE NON-COMMUNIST KHMER TO FORM A COALITION WITH THE DK, EXCEPT ON CONDITIONS AND TERMS WHICH ARE SATISFACTORY TO THEM. NONETHELESS, WE RECOGNIZE THE ADVANTAGES OF A MORE UNIFIED RESISTANCE. WE CANNOT IGNORE THE FACT THAT OUR EFFORTS TO DEVELOP THE MAXIMUM INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE OPPOSING THE VIETNAMESE OCCUPATION OF KAMPUCHEA ARE AFFECTED ADVERSELY BY THE RECORD OF THE POL POT LEADERSHIP. THE UNITED STATES COULD NEVER SUPPORT THE RETURN OF POL POT. WE URGE CHINA TO SPREAD THE WORD OF ITS (AM rmusn 40 ACCEPT ANY POLITICAL OUTCOME WHICH THE KHMER PEOPLE THEMSELVES MAY CHOOSE WITHOUT EXTERNAL INTERFERENCE. WE ALSO CALL ATTENTION TO THE CONTRIBUTION WE HAVE MADE TO THE COMMON STRATEGY THROUGH OUR DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS, THE EARLY DECISION TO SUPPORT DK CREDENTIALS AT THE UN, AND THE POLITICAL VISIBILITY WE HAVE PROVIDED SON SANN IN THE U.S. WE HAVE ALSO SHOULDERED THE MAJOR HUMANITARIAN BURDEN, AND HAVE AUGMENTED SIGNIFICANTLY OUR SUPPORT FOR THAILAND. WE APPLAUD PROGRESS IN THE NORMALIZATION OF CHINA'S STATE-TO-STATE RELATIONS WITH THE INDIVIDUAL STATES OF ASEAN. WE REGARD THIS AS A HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT FOR THE REGION WHICH MAY EASE DOUBTS AMONG SOME IN SOUTHEAST ASIA, NOTABLY IN INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA, ABOUT CHINA'S LONGER-TERM INTENTIONS. IN THIS CONNECTION WE ALSO BELIEVE IT IS VIETNAM'S OBJECTIVE TO DRIVE A WEDGE BETWEEN THE PRC AND THE ASEAN COUNTRIES BY PORTRAYING THE PRC AS THE REAL THREAT TO SOUTHEAST ASIA. FOR EXAMPLE, VIETNAM'S EFFORTS TO SHIFT DISCUSSIONS ON CAMBODIA FROM AN INTERNATIONAL FORUM TO A REGIONAL ONE IS CLEARLY DESIGNED TO (A) GAIN ACCEPTANCE OF THE INDOCHINESE COUNTRIES AS A BLOC, INCLUDING A FAIT ACCOMPLI IN CAMBODIA AND (B) TO EXCLUDE CHINA FROM THE NEGOTIATING PROCESS. WE MUST NOT LET THIS TACTIC SUCCEED AND TANGIBLE PROGRESS IN PRC/ASEAN RELATIONS COULD BE HELPFUL IN THIS REGARD. INDIA VIEWS THE PROSPECTIVE STRENGTHENING OF U.S.- PAKISTAN SECURITY RELATIONS AS A CHALLENGE TO IMPORTANT INDIAN FOREIGN POLICY OBJECTIVES. WE HAVE TRIED TO ALLAY THESE INDIAN CONCERNS, AND TO MAINTAIN A CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE WITH THE INDIANS. WE HAVE TOLD THE INDIANS THAT WE WANT GOOD RELATIONS WITH BOTH INDIA AND PAKISTAN AND THAT STRONGER U.S.-PAKISTAN TIES ARE NOT DIRECTED AGAINST THEM. WE HAVE THESE TIES IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR CONCERN WITH THE SOVIET THREAT TO THE PERSIAN GULF/SOUTH- WEST ASIA REGION. DESPITE OUR EFFORTS, THE INDIANS CONTINUE TO BE CRITICAL. SO FAR, THEIR NEGATIVE REACTION HAS BEEN CONFINED TO RHETORIC, PROBABLY THE BEST WE CAN HOPE FOR. AN IMPROVEMENT IN SINO-INDIAN RELATIONS COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON THE WAY INDIA VIEWS ITS SECURITY ENVIRONMENT AND PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN MODERATING INDIAN REACTION TO U.S.-PAKISTAN RELATIONS. IT COULD ALSO OVER TIME CONTRIBUTE TO A LESSENING OF INDIAN DEPENDENCE ON THE SOVIET UNION AND ABET INDIAN CONCERN ABOUT SOVIET OBJECTIVES SPARKED BY THE AFGHANISTAN INVASION. WE WELCOME FOREIGN MINISTER HUANG HUA‘S VISIT TO INDIA. WE BELIEVE THIS CAN BE USEFUL BOTH FOR WHAT IT CAN ACHIEVE AND FOR THE SIGNAL IT SENDS OF CHINA'S INTEREST IN BETTER RELATIONS WITH INDIA. WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE CHINA TO TAKE STEPS TO IMPROVE RELATIONS WITH INDIA, AND WILL BE WATCHING CAREFULLY FOR SIGNS OF PROGRESS IN THIS DIRECTION.

DECLASSIFIED SECRET RDS-3, 6/3/01 DECLASSIFIED KOREA The Chinese desire stability on the Korean peninsula, but because of the competition with the Soviet Union for influence in North Korea, and of the perceived parallel with the PRC-Taiwan situation, they have refused to entertain suggestions for concrete cooperation such as parallel expansion of direct contacts with the two Koreas. We have pressed them in the past to caution their North Korean allies not to take provocative actions, and they have probably done so within the constraints noted above. China publicly supports North Korean demands for the withdrawal of foreign forces from the peninsula. TALKING POINTS -~ THE SITUATION IN SOUTH KOREA IS NOW FAIRLY NORMAL AND PRESIDENT CHUN'S GOVERNMENT IS FULLY FUNCTIONING. CONFIDENCE AND FULL COOPERATION HAS BEEN RESTORED TO OUR RELATIONSHIP AFTER A PERIOD OF SOME STRAIN. -- WE ARE CONVINCED THAT PRESIDENT CHUN IS SERIOUS IN SEEKING A MEETING WITH PRESIDENT KIM IL-SUNG TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF FINDING A MEANS OF REDUCING TENSIONS AND BUILDING COOPERATION ON THE PENINSULA WHICH CAN LEAD TO EVENTUAL UNIFICATION. ~- THE ESSENTIAL PREREQUISITES FOR POSITIVE CHANGE ON THE PENINSULA IS FOR NORTH KOREAN AUTHORITIES TO BE WILLING TO DEAL DIRECTLY WITH THE AUTHORITIES OF SOUTH KOREA. WE HOPE CHINA WILL QUIETLY ENCOURAGE NORTH KOREA TO ENGAGE IN SERIOUS DIALOGUE WITH THE SOUTH. IT IS NOT EFFECTIVE FOR PYONGYANG TO PRESS TO TRY TO RESOLVE KOREAN PENINSULA ISSUES WITH US. ANY SUCH MEETINGS MUST HAVE BOTH KOREAN AUTHORITIES FULLY AND EQUALLY REPRESENTED. SECRET RDS-3, 673/91 DECLASSIFIED DECLASSIFIED SECRET -- (IF 'ASKED) THE PROPOSED ROK PURCHASE OF F-16 AIRCRAFT LATER THIS DECADE POSES NO THREAT TO NORTH KOREA. IT IS PURELY A DEFENSIVE REACTION TO THE PRESENTLY UNSTABLE SITUATION CREATED BY CLEAR NORTH KOREAN AIR SUPERIORITY AND AGING F-86 AND F-5A/B AIRCRAFT IN THE ROK INVENTORY. THE ROK IS MAKING NO ATTEMPT TO MATCH THE NORTH KOREAN AIR FORCE IN QUANTITY OF COMBAT AIRCRAFT, BUT THE PROPOSED PURCHASES WILL REDUCE THE PRESENT IMBALANCE IN COMBAT CAPABILITY IN THE AIR AND THUS ENHANCE STABILITY AND REDUCE RISKS OF MISCALCULATION. DECLASSIFIED SECRET RDS-3, 6/73/91 DECLASSIFIED China - Iran/Iraq Conflict At the start of the conflict last September, China adopted a policy of strict neutrality towards Iraq and Iran. The Chinese feared that continuation of the conflict would benefit the Soviet Union by diverting attention from Afghanistan and offering Opportunities for increasing Soviet influence in Iran. By 7 J The Chinese realize that they are not in a position to supplant the Soviets in Iraq. However, they probably are unable to resist the appeal of attempting to further reduce Soviet influence in Iraq and therefore seem to be tacitly supportive of western inroads into this traditional Soviet preserve. You will have to impress upon the Chinese our view that supplying arms to either side in the conflict threatens to prolong or intensify the war. This will offer the Soviets additional time and opportunities to improve their position in the region in general, and in Iran in particular. TALKING POINTS -- OUR POLICY IN THE CONFLICT HAS BEEN NOT TO TAKE SIDES, TO PREVENT IT FROM SPREADING, AND SEEK AN EARLY END TO THE FIGHTING. -- WE SUPPORT THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION WHICH CALLS FOR AN IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. -- WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONTINUING FLOW OF ARMS TO THE BELLIGERENTS FROM THIRD COUNTRIES, INCLUDING CHINA.

VECLASSIFIED alll VECLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT OF STATE BRIEFING MEMORANDUM S/S TO: The Secretary FROM: EA - John H. Holdridge SUBJECT: Your Meeting with Chinese Communist Party Vice Chairman Deng Xiaoping I. SUMMARY Your meeting with Vice Chairman Deng Xiaoping will be your most authoritative exchange in Beijing. You should discuss with him US policy initiatives aimed at establishing a ""strategic associate"" relationship with China through an enhanced strategic dialogue and improved Chinese access to American civilian and military technology. Deng will provide the Chinese responses on questions such as Kampuchea and Afghanistan, which you will have raised with Foreign Minister Huang. The most sensitive issue in your meeting with Deng will be Taiwan, and it is with him that you will have to discuss the parameters of future policy and practice on both sides. II. SETTING During your visit, the collegiality of China's leadership system will be heightened by the atmosphere surrounding the Party's Sixth Plenum -- which will be going on or about to convene. Nevertheless, Deng, as ""first among equals,"" has the power and authority either to reject your overtures for a new beginning to US-China relations, or argue persuasively in Party councils that they be accepted. Your task -- begun in your meetings with Foreign Minister Huang Hua -- will be to convince Deng that the new US strategic resolve vis-a-vis the Soviet Union, and associated with this, our initiatives aimed at enhancing the strategic component of the US-China relationship, are important enough to argue for continued Chinese forbearance on Taiwan issues in our bilateral relations. SECRET RDS-3 6/3/11 VECLASSIFIED VECLASSIFIED SECRET III. ISSUES 1. Convey our Determination to Counter Soviets: You will want to underline US resolve vis-a-vis Soviet and Soviet-proxy expansionism and assure Deng that President Reagan fully appreciates China's strategic importance to the US and our allies. Since you will have outlined our new Southwest and Southeast Asian policies to Foreign Minister Huang, you should expect that Deng will be prepared to discuss ways to coordinate our respective policies towards these areas. 2. You will want to impress Deng with our commitment to restore momentum to our relationship through a visit by Premier Zhao to Washington, resumption and expansion of strategic and other consultative ties, a loosening of export controls on civilian and military technology, and a series of cabinet-level visits. 3. Taiwan will be the most sensitive issue in your meeting. You should reassure Deng that the Administration intends to respect the normalization agreement regarding the unofficiality of our dealings with the people of Taiwan. Your goal is to reach a modus vivendi, i.e. ""an agreement to disagree"" on the arms sales issue, by signaling our sensitivity to Chinese concerns over timing and substance. Deng will hit you hard with the argument that US arms sales to Taiwan undercut the Chinese attempt to engage the Taiwan leaders in a dialogue over reunification. On arms sales and other Taiwan questions generally, you should indicate our intention to proceed prudently, while pressing Deng to exercise maximum restraint in the public handling of these issues by the Chinese.

Nuclear Issues: You may wish to raise with Zhao the question of Chinese nuclear cooperation with Iran, and Chinese views on the possibility of an Indian nuclear explosion. Zhao may have little to say on either issue, but you may wish to raise the question of Chinese views on India's nuclear program in general. 4. Domestic Political and Economic Issues: Depending on the timing of the Party's Sixth Plenum, Zhao may brief you on domestic political and economic developments. He may raise the question of US-China economic cooperation and the Guangdong project. You may wish to raise the question of Chinese economic reforms and readjustment measures.

You may offer to coordinate our views on North/South issues but should expect that Zhao will have little of substance to say. Cancun will represent the first serious Chinese participation in the North/South issue. They can be counted on to lead an attack on Soviet activities in the Third World, but it remains to be seen whether they will go beyond ritualistic support for developing world positions on the substantive economic questions at the summit. 3. Nuclear Cooperation: You may also wish to discuss our desire for bilateral nuclear cooperation and participation in Chinese nuclear projects, starting with the Guangdong reactor project. aan, vECLASSIFIED SECRET GLOBAL NEGOTIATIONS AND THE NORTH-SOUTH ECONOMIC SUMMIT The Chinese and a number of other participants may want to use the Cancun Summit to overcome U.S. resistance to Global Negotiations in the UN General Assembly.

Other Asian countries attending are Bangladesh, India, Japan and the Philippines.

You should also emphasize that we are prepared to relax our export controls on dual-use technology and munitions list sales to China, but that we will need to know more about Chinese intentions on third country resales and the impact of such resales on the military balance in Asia. 4. In this context, you should also note that we would welcome a Chinese initiative to provide more information on China's military modernization program and its implications for the US, its allies, and friends. 5. You may also want to raise the issue of arms control, emphasizing that we do not seek an arms race with the Soviet Union, but that we are concerned about the Soviet build-up and the need for the Soviet Union to exercise restraint. You should also note that we have no intention of seeking a military alliance with China. 6. Finally, you should assure Geng that the US will not recognize the Vietnamese-sponsored regime in Cambodia and that we will continue to support the efforts of the Cambodian resistance to achieve a political settlement.

What are the answers to these criticisms? First, the AID Mission is currently framing its strategy. My hope is that it will be able to develop programs in health and education, and in due course in agriculture, which will be based on broad sectoral approaches, will attract the necessary Afghan commitments and will enable AID greatly to expand its assistance levels here over the next few years. Secondly, it is my hope that the existing and planned projects which are not only developmentally sound but also politically visible (e.g., university dormitory for rural women, Helmand project) will be sustained. As for the Peace Corps, we will be striving to expand the small beginnings made in recent months to inject Peace Corps Volunteers back into rural areas and into health programs. hts would be a difficult matter.

In fact, I believe one argument which is useful in a country like this is that to the extent there can be a freer expression of views within the society, the prospects for development are enhanced. We have established a ""human rights council"" in the Mission which will examine the human rights situation in Afghanistan and also specific projects we might undertake to improve the situation. While on the one hand, the human rights situation here is not truly bad, it is fair to say that the Daoud regime is a tightly run dictatorship. But it is also fair to say that in this traditional society, which has no democratic experience and which is split along many tribal and ethnic lines, full recognition of human rights would be a difficult matter. Kabul A-015 - Page 3 either the AID or Peace Corps programs here for a long time to come. The shortage of administrative skills and systems in the country will continue to hamper our best efforts. 7. Narcotics. The basic question raised in our discussion of narcotics programs here was how far we should push the Government of Afghanistan in the light of our other objectives. It was generally agreed that our anti-trafficking and poppy eradication programs will take a long time to show much success. The question is what sanctions in terms of other programs should we be prepared to invoke. For example, one of our AID projects has been slowed because of Afghan concerns on related anti-poppy agreements -- and a second may potentially be affected by the sighting of opium poppies in the project area (this is now the subject of correspondence between USAID and GOA). My own view is that we must pursue with imagination and energy all possible avenues to lessen the threat of Afghan opium to our own country. Moreover, in my view, AID must not undertake any program here which would in any way promote poppy cultivation. But at the same time, we must realize that the political, social and economic obstacles in Afghanistan to rapid progress in eliminating opium culti- vation are immense and will take many years to overcome. We will have to temper our determination with patience and remember that our ability to influence the Afghans in this area depends to a very large degree on our ability to convince them that we care about their basic national interests: their independence and their economic development. 8. Human rights. All of us here agree that we must keep the Afghans aware of our commitment to human rights. In fact, I believe one argument which is useful in a country like this is that to the extent there can be a freer expression of views within the society, the prospects for development are enhanced. We have established a “human rights council” in the Mission which will examine the human rights situation in Afghanistan and also specific projects we might undertake to improve that situation. While on the one hand, the human rights situation here is not truly bad, it is fair to say that the Daoud regime is a tightly run dictatorship. But it is also fair to say that in this traditional society, which has no democratic experience and which is split along many tribal and ethnic lines, full recognition of human rights as we understand them is a long way off. Moreover, the human rights that are most important to Afghans at this stage of their development are those involving basic economic, educational and health needs -- fields in which we can be of help. ed, but it is still at the desk officer level.) We have been able to make do with our personnel resources by using temporary duty officers, but this is not a long-term solution. We are fortunate in having a good staff of FSO's. They are hardworking, dedicated and highly competent. They are also very young. The Mission has been successful in building a strong sense of teamwork and common purpose, but the inexperience of the staff is a continuing problem. The Mission is also fortunate in having a good group of LES's who are hardworking, dedicated and highly competent. D. POLITICAL ASSESSMENT: In the political field we are pursuing a long-term policy of building Afghan institutions and strengthening the position of the moderates. This is a sound policy, but it is not without its problems. The Afghan Government is still weak, and the moderates are still on the defensive and are not yet able to take the offensive. The government is still unable to control the countryside and the tribal areas. The government is also unable to control the border areas. The opposition is still weak and disorganized. The communists are still in a state of disarray. The religious parties are still disunited. The moderates are still disorganized. In short, the opposition is still not able to mount a serious challenge to the government. The government, however, is not standing still. It is trying to extend its control over the countryside. It is also trying to improve its relations with the tribal areas. It is also trying to improve its relations with the border areas. It is also trying to improve its relations with the opposition. It is also trying to improve its relations with the religious parties. It is also trying to improve its relations with the moderates. In short, the government is trying to broaden its base of support. The opposition, however, is not standing still. It is trying to build a coalition with the moderates. It is also trying to build a coalition with the religious parties. It is also trying to build a coalition with the government. It is also trying to build a coalition with the communists. It is also trying to build a coalition with the tribal areas. In short, the opposition is trying to broaden its base of support. However, both the government and the opposition face serious challenges and obstacles. The government must overcome its weak institutions and lack of control over certain areas. The opposition must overcome its disorganization and lack of unity. In addition, both sides must navigate the delicate balance of power between the moderates, religious parties, and communists. In terms of US policy, our main objective is to support the moderates and strengthen Afghan institutions. This requires a delicate balance of providing assistance while avoiding the appearance of interference in internal Afghan affairs. We must also continue to monitor the situation and be prepared to adapt our policies as necessary. E. ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT: The Afghan economy continues to face challenges, including a high population growth rate, low levels of industrialization, and dependence on foreign aid. The government has made efforts to address these issues, including land reform and industrialization programs. However, progress has been slow and the economy remains heavily reliant on agriculture and foreign aid. In terms of US policy, our main objective is to support the Afghan government's economic development efforts and encourage a more diversified economy. This includes providing technical assistance and promoting American investment and trade. However, we must also be mindful of the potential negative impacts of these efforts, such as disrupting traditional agricultural practices and creating dependence on American aid and investment. F. CONCLUSION: Overall, our objectives and policies in Afghanistan remain focused on supporting the moderates and strengthening Afghan institutions. While progress has been made, significant challenges and obstacles remain. We must continue to monitor the situation and adapt our policies as necessary to support our long-term goals. END PARTIAL TRANSCRIPTION. E. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: GOAL I -- The preservation of an independent Afghanistan, willing and able to impose limitations on Soviet influence. Past Performance: Preserving an independent Afghanistan has been the centerpiece of American policy toward this country, and it has been supported, in one form or another, in every administration since the 1950s. The U.S. has provided significant economic and military aid, including weapons, training, and technical assistance. The U.S. has also been a major contributor to international aid efforts, particularly in the areas of economic development and narcotics control. Objectives: To continue to support the independence of Afghanistan and to limit Soviet influence in the region. To provide economic and military aid, as well as assistance with narcotics control efforts. GOAL II -- The promotion of political stability and democratic reforms in Afghanistan. Past Performance: The U.S. has consistently advocated for political stability and democratic reforms in Afghanistan. However, progress in these areas has been slow, and the country remains under the control of a single political party, the Party of the National Revolution. The current president, Mohammad Daoud, has been in power since 1973, and there are concerns about the succession process and potential for political instability. Objectives: To continue to promote political stability and democratic reforms in Afghanistan. To encourage the development of a multi-party political system and free and fair elections. To support efforts to improve governance and human rights in the country. GOAL III -- The elimination of illicit narcotics production and trafficking in Afghanistan. Past Performance: The U.S. has been actively involved in efforts to eliminate narcotics production and trafficking in Afghanistan. However, progress has been slow, and the country remains one of the world's largest producers of opium and heroin. The Afghan government has been reluctant to take strong action against the illicit trade, and international efforts have faced challenges due to the country's political and security situation. Objectives: To continue to support efforts to eliminate illicit narcotics production and trafficking in Afghanistan. To provide assistance for alternative crop and income substitution programs. To work with the Afghan government to strengthen law enforcement and counter-narcotics efforts. S. to try to implement this objective by pouring in large amounts of economic aid. We believe that the Soviet Union would respond with massive additional aid of its own, and this would lead to a confrontation which could only result in the loss of Afghanistan's independence. We have already seen how the Soviet Union has reacted to the modest U. S. military training program, and to the President's invitation to President Daoud to visit the U. S. ORIGINAL TRANSCRIPTION Comment: This is a worthy objective but difficult for the U. S. to implement. Most of our programs -- certainly our USIS, military and AID participant training programs -- contribute to this end -- but indirectly. It is Mission consensus that we stand a better chance to achieve this objective by such indirect means than by direct mention. It is also the judgment of the Mission that it would be unwise, if not dangerous, for the U. S. to try to implement this objective by pouring in large amounts of economic aid. We believe that the Soviet Union would respond with massive additional aid of its own, and this would lead to a confrontation which could only result in the loss of Afghanistan's independence. We have already seen how the Soviet Union has reacted to the modest U. S. military training program, and to the President's invitation to President Daoud to visit the U. S. ms should be directed towards this end. Comment: The Mission believes this program bears directly on the ""Soviet Limiting"" aspects of Goal I, and that its relatively low cost ($525.00 in FY 78) merits its continuation, even though its eventual impact cannot be precisely measured. Since 1957, some 316 Afghan Army and Air Force officers have trained in the U.S., some of them repeaters. Until this year, the number going was about 15 a year, but the program was expanded to allow 30. Presently, four Afghan Generals with U.S. training, and many Colonels, occupy important positions in the National Defense Ministry. Besides the U.S., the French, British, and Indians also have small training programs for Afghans in their countries. The Soviets, by contrast, have for the last 15 or so years, annually trained some 300 plus, non-commissioned and lower ranking officers in the USSR, mostly on operating and maintaining Soviet equipment. How many of the estimated more than 4,000 so trained have been indoctrinated is unknown. The possibility of some infiltration exists, however, and is a source of worry, not only to us, but to senior Afghan officers and civilian officials, and to Daoud himself. Finally, although Kabul's ref tel A ranked this objective first, the Mission subsequently decided it more appropriately stood last. The military assistance program, though important, is a limited objective compared to the broader, though important, ones discussed below. Objective B: To encourage Afghans to respond to the needs of a viable and enduring political system which is responsive to the needs of the people and has solid public support. Comment: This is a worthy objective but difficult for the U.S. to implement. None of our programs - certainly our USIS, military, and AID participant training programs - contribute to this end directly. It is Mission consensus that we stand a better chance to achieve this objective by such indirect means than by direct action. It is also the judgment of the Mission that it would be unwise, if not dangerous, for the U.S. ever to be perceived as ""propping up"" the Daoud regime. Our support and programs should be seen by Afghans as benefiting the public at large and not as bolstering a particular government, especially one for which there may be growing dissatisfaction. So far, we think we have succeeded in this course. Our role in this has been limited, as our programs are only a small part of the overall development effort in Afghanistan. However, we have been working closely with the Afghan government to ensure that our programs are targeted towards the most vulnerable and marginalized populations. U. S. Approaches: We should continue to work closely with the Afghan government to identify and target programs that will have the greatest impact on the lives of the poor majority. This may include increasing our focus on rural development and expanding access to education and healthcare services. Additionally, we should work to strengthen the capacity of the Afghan government to effectively implement and manage development programs. restrictc Peace Corps activities to Kabul City itself, and volunteer totals have declined from near 300 to about 100. On October 1, 1977, 72 percent of all volunteers were engaged in English teaching, 14 percent in higher education, 8 percent in health, and 6 percent in vocational and secondary education. A perennial question for the U. S. Mission has been whether the Peace Corps' presence in Afghanistan is worth the expense to the taxpayer. As the emphasis on English teaching might suggest, few of Peace Corps' activities have directly affected the poor -- but they were not necessarily less valuable because of that. Peace Corps' terms of reference here have been basically two: ""to meet human needs"" and to place volunteers in sites where the greatest need exists. The Afghans themselves have decided to progress, and while the Mission saw some hopeful signs, it also saw little significant progress. For our AID program, 1977 was a mixed year. A major effort in the education sector to complete a revised curriculum and produce a set of indigenous textbooks was completed. In the Helmand Valley, AID committed $10 million to a drainage project which confirmed the judgment of earlier programs in the potential of that region. AID also initiated important new programs in the area of food security and agricultural credit. Balanced against those accomplishments and new starts was the stark reality of implementation failure. Afghanistan Plan targets are not being met. For example, new construction of rural primary schools was not undertaken, one point construction of basic health centers fell considerably behind schedule, and no construction of rural water structures, roads, or bridges was initiated during the last three months of 1977. USAID disbursements reached a decade low point of $5 million. SECRET PARTIAL TRANSCRIPTION - CORRECTED FOLLOWS Past Performance: The Peace Corps has been in Afghanistan since 1962.

Past Performance: In 1977, the Mission's efforts represented a promising start towards achieving this difficult long-term goal. But the start may be the easiest part. Within the Mission, responsibility for the coordination of narcotics matters was elevated to the DCM level, narcotics committees were overhauled, a second agent was added to DLA's one-man staff, and The Afghan Government has, with minor exceptions, restricted Peace Corps activities to Kabul City itself, and volunteer totals have declined from nearly 300 to about 100. On October 1, 1977, 72 percent of all volunteers were engaged in English teaching, 14 percent in higher education, 8 percent in health, and 6 percent in vocational and secondary education.

The Peace Corps' terms of reference here have been basically two: ""to meet human needs"" and to place volunteers in sites where the greatest need exists. The Afghan Government and the Peace Corps have decided that English teaching is the area where the Peace Corps can be most useful. Besides any social and development impact this activity might have, English teaching has political benefits for the U.S. since it gives the literate 15 percent of the population exposure to Anglo-American (and Western) culture and concepts. The Peace Corps' impact in Afghanistan cannot be measured with any precision. The Afghans believe the Peace Corps' presence is beneficial, and the Mission concurs. U.S. approaches: Notwithstanding the usefulness of English teaching, Peace Corps Kabul plans to gradually reduce such programs from 72 percent to 62 percent by April 1979. Concomitantly, the share of higher education (mostly the preparation of engineers) would grow from 14 percent to 21 percent, as would also, to a lesser extent, health, vocational, and secondary education. Continuing efforts will be made to move more volunteers from Kabul to provincial sites. Objective C: To encourage Afghanistan to adopt economic development and reform measures recommended by the IMF and World Bank, such as promoting the private sector, reducing subsidies on consumer goods for privileged groups, and reversing the decline in real income of government officials. U.S. approaches: The July 1977 IMF Article XIV consultation report and a more recent World Bank in-depth (300 plus pages) development report on Afghanistan list many reforms or actions the Afghan Government might adopt to speed economic development. Almost all of these recommendations are endorsed by this Mission, especially the ones mentioned in the above objective. In terms of U.S. approaches, we see two avenues for action. One is Washington instructing the U.S. Executive Directors to the Fund and the Bank to support the staff recommendations. The other approach, which we intend to follow, is to use our AID sector grants and PL 480 Title III funds as leverage to bring about desired actions in health, agriculture, and education. Goal III: The elimination of illicit narcotics production and trafficking. Past performance: In 1977, the Mission's efforts represented a promising start towards achieving this difficult long-term goal. But the start may be the easiest part. Within the Mission, responsibility for the coordination of narcotics matters was elevated to the DCM level, narcotics committees were overhauled, a second agent was added to DLA's one-man staff, and depending on the definition of political prisoner. A The Mission believes, nonetheless, that though Goal III may prove elusive and total costs prove high, we must devote increased attention and resources to our narcotics programs here. To that end, we have in recent months not only increased our DEA agent staff but have also requested an additional ESO position for narcotics. Objective A: To work within the framework of the newly formed Joint Commission on Afghan Narcotics Matters to help develop meaningful crop and income substitution programs. Afghanistan is not a transparently oppressed society. Although freedom of the press does not exist, and abuses by the state against individuals occasionally occur, its human rights record is not egregious. There is some freedom of speech. The number of political prisoners, according to Afghan Government sources, is between 110 - 190, depending on the definition of political prisoner. A tly at the time of the King's visit to the U. S. We have pointed out to the King and Crown Prince, as well as to the Foreign Minister and others, that the U. S. public and Congress are increasingly concerned with human rights conditions in foreign countries and that Afghanistan is not immune to this concern. Objective B: To maintain regular contacts with the UN mission in Afghanistan in order to keep abreast of UN human rights activities and to coordinate U. S. and UN programs in this area. Comment: The Mission has done this regularly. UN officials here have been cooperative in keeping us informed of their activities and plans, and we have made use of their reports and statements in briefing the Afghan Government on our concern for human rights issues. Objective C: To develop a more accurate and comprehensive picture of the human rights situation in Afghanistan and to devise programs aimed at improving that situation. Comment: This is a difficult objective to achieve. There is little reliable information available on human rights conditions in Afghanistan, and our sources of information are generally second or third hand. The Mission has taken steps to improve the collection and analysis of information on human rights conditions, but our efforts are hampered by language barriers, the lack of reliable sources, and the Afghan Government's reluctance to provide information on this sensitive issue. We hope to improve our information base by expanding our contacts with the UN mission and with human rights organizations outside Afghanistan. Additionally, we plan to develop some small, discreet projects aimed at improving the human rights situation here. These projects will be implemented through private channels and will not be publicized. this past year. The Afghan Government has substantially improved the quality of its nominees, with less emphasis on family or political ties and more on professional competence. by our USAID programs. U.S. Approaches: The Mission hopes to expand its trade promotion activities this year to include the medium-value sales area. The best possibilities for big-ticket sales lie in wheat, a wide-bodied aircraft to Ariana Afghan Airlines, a satellite earth station, and perhaps a cement plant, and we plan to pursue these vigorously. ee ee © 000 0 eee o6 e e ee ee. * s s eee e ee *e « Cn and ee * ¢@ se ee e@ e e006 06 SECRET , Kabul A-015 | e [ \ : Page 18 : Despite efforts by the Mission to promote high-value sales of American products to Afghanistan, American firms won no large contracts in 1977.

Generally, U.S. business is not interested in exerting much effort to sell to the Afghan market, and few American businessmen visit Afghanistan. Our single most notable commercial success last year was the favorable settlement of some long-standing contract payment disputes of two American companies with the government.

Other than oral gel to ease the mouth pain, he has tried mouthwash and has swished with hydrogen peroxide (not at my advice) and the pain is tremendous.are the headache and mouth sores related? or should he just treat them individually? Advil is not relieving the headache at all (he is away at college and asking for advice.) Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.Canker sores in the mouth can be due to a number of causes like nutritional deficiency, stress, eating more spicy and acidic foods or allergic reaction. In case if it is associated with other symptoms too then it can be due to viral infection causing cold sores. If the symptoms are too severe then better consult an oral physician and get evaluated. A clinical examination and if needed an oral swab culture test can help in diagnosis. For now to reduce pain he can continue applying numbing gels and also can gargle with a specialized mouthwash like magic mouthwash. Sucking ice or cool water rinses can help. Take Vitamin B complex daily. Take the soft diet and drink plenty of water. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Honey Arora",Confidential "basically i have been repeating myself alot lately i used to do it in the past but its been more common. its not like a stutter or stammer its only with one word out of a sentence. i will be speaking normally and then it hits me and i find my self repeating the word or sentance over and over sometimes even up to 20times. the wierdest thing is i can break away from saying it but to carry on telling the story i have to repeat it again. i was wondering if you have any answers as to what could be happening. DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the description it is not easy to diagnose you properly. But I see a case of obsession here without any underlying physical / physiological cause. You had that disturbing sensation once. You expected it to happen again and tried. Then you started experiencing it as you were expecting it. Then your body brought the familiar symptom because you are expecting it. Then you started worrying that the symptom is coming again and again and expect it. Body brings it again as you are expecting it. You become worried and so on. That is obsession in simple terms. Ignore it and the problem vanishes. Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.Hope this answers your query.

I found out it was cancerous 2 weeks ago. Diagnostics show has not spread anywhere. However, I feel like it is taking up more and more space in my abdomen. It is very uncomfortable and my right side and right intestinal is kind of hard and bloated. I am scheduled for a consult at Georgetown U Hosp on the 30th, but all I can think is ""Get this the hell out of me!"" The oncologist sugggested surgery to remove asap but the hospitals wouldn't schedule before 30th. I have a consult at Hopkins on April 4th. I am having this sense of urgency. How quickly can something like this progress or move? Hi David, How are you? I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and I understand your apprehension about the tumour. But Liver cancers in general tend to grow very slowly and are generally less aggressive than the other cancers. They usually appear in patients suffering from cirrhosis, esp due to hepatitis c. In your case I take it that your rest of the liver is normal. You also mentioned that the tumour is hanging off the tip of the lobe - this is very good for you for two reasons : 1. There is a very very low chance that the tumor can involve or invade a blood vessel, which would alter your prognosis to the negative to a great extent (very common in tumours growing inside the liver). 2. Surgical removal becomes very easy as the surgeon does not need to go through the main liver tissue to resect the tumor. Although the operating surgeon is the best judge (and also since I do not have access to your scans), in these kind of tumors, he could potentially get away with resecting just 2 cm of the tip of the liver. I often resect these kinds of tumors laparoscopically and you should explore the possibility with your surgeon. I hope this helped and I hope you get better soon.Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions - rxsuresh@gmail.com",Confidential HI my daughter is 9 months old and recently she is sweating alot while sleeping at night. the room temperature is fine.

Minimize all your activities to possible extent, lie flat on your back on a hard mattress avoid soft cushions, take a pain killer and wait for a day, the swelling may come down.

STRATEGY Following well-established patterns of the past, the first two days of your visit will consist of talks at the ministerial level; and your meetings with the top political leadership will be reserved for the third and fourth days, culminating with a meeting with Deng Xiaoping. One underlying theme you will want to stress in all of your meetings is the importance the US places on good relations with China. You will have two, and possibly three, meetings with Foreign Minister Wu; and you should seek to focus them on foreign policy matters. In your opening meeting, you should present our overall foreign policy approach and emphasize the role that strong US-China relations can play in promoting world peace and stability. Subsequent meetings with Wu should focus on regional issues and those few bilateral issues that are strictly within the foreign policy realm (e.g., Taiwan arms sales and political asylum). Other bilateral issues, such as technology transfer and textiles, should be reserved for meetings with the officials most directly concerned. You should also seek to gain Wu's agreement to a regular program of exchanges at the Under Secretary and the Deputy Assistant Secretary/Country Director levels. You can reserve discussion of the Middle East and Africa for your meeting with Premier Zhao (with Foreign Minister Wu in attendance). Zhao and Wu have just concluded a month-long trip to those areas. You should seek their impressions, explain our approach, and underscore the need for constructive approaches to problems in these areas. You should engage in a full discussion of the bilateral relationship with Zhao and also seek his agreement to specific dates for his visit to the US. Discussion of the global economic situation will be an introductory theme for your meeting with Vice Minister of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade Jia Shi. You will want to stress the seriousness with which we view the global economic situation and the need for cooperation by all countries if the world trading and investment system is to operate smoothly. You should also explain briefly how the US is acting to deal with its own economic difficulties. You should make the point in all of your meetings that the US stands ready to develop the relationship further. Working-level Foreign Ministry officials have strongly hinted that it would be useful for you to underscore, throughout your discussions, the substantial and growing number of export licenses we have approved for technology transfer. You should reserve specific discussions on possible areas of future cooperation to those most directly involved, e.g., economic matters with Jia Shi, and S&T matters with Chairman of the State Science and Technology Commission Fang Yi. Finally, you will meet with Deng toward the end of your visit; and the outcome of this meeting will be the key to determining the visit's success. It will be essential to establish an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust and to convince Deng not only of the value we place on the relationship but also of our long-term reliability. You also need to remind Deng of the great value both sides are deriving from the relationship as it exists today. The degree to which these objectives are achieved will determine the degree to which both sides can rise above lesser disagreements and/or rhetorical differences and renew a relationship based on mutual recognition of the common interests and bilateral benefits that formed the basis for the evolution of the US-China relationship during its first decade.",Confidential Counterparties Thank you all for being so responsive.

For months, a special Senate committee investigating electricity price manipulation has been issuing subpoenas and gathering documents from power generators and marketers. During the process, the committee has found three companies in contempt for resisting the subpoenas, including Enron, which fought back with a lawsuit asking the court to intervene on its behalf. In his ruling stemming from the suit, Sacramento Superior Court Judge Charles Kobayashi said he wasn't convinced that ""the Senate committee will be able to maintain the petitioner's right to confidentiality."" As a result, he ruled, those documents handed over by Enron that contain legitimate trade secrets must be protected by a confidentiality agreement. In his ruling on another Enron motion, however, he denied the company's request to quash the committee's subpoena. Still, Enron officials considered the judge's findings on the whole a victory. ""We had no certainty that anything we handed over to the Senate would remain confidential,"" said Enron spokeswoman Karen Denne. ""We were not receiving due process from Senator (Joe) Dunn's committee. They were acting as judge and jury on this issue."" Dunn, D-Santa Ana, who is the committee chairman, said he ""respectfully disagrees"" with the judge's decision on the confidentiality agreement, which he said will be reviewed in the next few days by the Legislature's lawyers to determine whether an appeal should be pursued. Another Enron motion seeking an injunction against the committee will be heard in court next week. Enron is one of three companies that have been found in contempt by the committee. However, the committee purged its contempt finding against Mirant in July after the company complied with the committee's requests. The committee was poised to expunge its contempt finding against Reliant Energy Inc. on Thursday as well but couldn't draw enough senators for a vote. Dunn delayed the action until the next meeting. As for the contempt charge facing Enron, the Senate Rules Committee is scheduled to review the findings Monday and possibly make a recommendation to the full Senate. Should the full Senate also find Enron in contempt, it would determine what punishments, if any, would be levied. Dunn said he believes fines would be the most appropriate punishment.",Public "MARCOS, THE P FOR THE VISIT MARCOS.

I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD BEEN STRUCK BY THE FACT THAT THE MESSAGE WAS RELEASED IN WASHINGTON RATHER THAN IN MANILA. I SAID THAT I THOUGHT THE MESSAGE WOULD BE WELL RECEIVED BY THE OPPOSITION AND WOULD PROBABLY BE SEEN AS A POSITIVE INDICATION OF USG CONCERN ABOUT THE SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES. I SAID THAT I BELIEVED THE MESSAGE WOULD BE SEEN AS A SIGN THAT THE USG WAS NOT PREPARED TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM. I SAID THAT I THOUGHT THE MESSAGE WOULD ALSO BE WELCOMED BY THE PROFESSIONAL CLASS IN THE PHILIPPINES, WHICH WAS INCREASINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SITUATION. I SAID THAT I THOUGHT THE MESSAGE WOULD BE SEEN AS A USEFUL INDICATION OF USG CONCERN, BUT THAT IT WOULD NOT BE SEEN AS A CALL FOR THE PRESIDENT TO RESIGN. I SAID THAT I THOUGHT, IN FACT, THAT THE MESSAGE WAS A WAY OF SAYING THAT THE USG WOULD NOT SUPPORT ANY EFFORT TO OUST THE PRESIDENT. I SAID THAT THE MESSAGE WAS A WAY OF SAYING THAT THE USG WOULD SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT IN HIS EFFORTS TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. I SAID THAT I THOUGHT THE MESSAGE WOULD BE READ IN THIS WAY, AND THAT IT WOULD BE WELCOMED BY THE PROFESSIONAL CLASS IN THE PHILIPPINES. I SAID THAT I THOUGHT THE MESSAGE WOULD BE SEEN AS A USEFUL WAY OF SAYING THAT THE USG WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SITUATION, BUT THAT IT WAS NOT PREPARED TO SUPPORT ANY EFFORT TO OUST THE PRESIDENT. I SAID THAT I THOUGHT THE MESSAGE WOULD BE READ IN THIS WAY, AND THAT IT WOULD BE WELCOMED BY THE PROFESSIONAL CLASS IN THE PHILIPPINES. 3. THE OPPOSITION. GR SAID THAT HE WAS EXCESSIVELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE DISAFFECTION OF THE MAKATI PROFESSIONAL CLASS. I DID NOT CHALLENGE HIS ASSESSMENT OF THE KBL’S SUPERIOR ORGANIZATION AND RESOURCES. BUT SUGGESTED THAT HE MIGHT BE SERIOUSLY MISREADING THE MOOD OF PROTEST, PARTICULARLY IN MAKATI. 4. FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES OF THE GOP. I PRESSED GR WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE GOP TO DIMINISH UNCERTAINTIES CURRENTLY IMMOBILIZING BANKERS AND INVESTORS. I WONDERED HOW THE APPARENTLY GROWING DISAFFECTION OF THE PROFESSIONAL CLASS IN THE PHILIPPINES WOULD AFFECT GOP EFFORTS TO HANDLE ITS BALANCE OF PAYMENTS AND CASH FLOW PROBLEMS. I SUGGESTED THAT RECENT ASSURANCES BY PRESIDENT MARCOS THAT HIS HEALTH WAS GOOD, THAT THE MILITARY HAD NO AMBITION TO TAKE OVER, THAT THE ECONOMY WAS IN GOOD SHAPE, AND THAT THE FIRST LADY HAD NO PRESIDENTIAL AMBITIONS, WOULD LIKELY HAVE A LIMITED EFFECT IN THE ABSENCE OF TANGIBLE ACTIONS BY THE GOVERNMENT TO LAY THE AQUINO ISSUE TO REST AND OPEN UP LINES OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE OPPOSITION. WITHOUT ACTION, I NOTED, THE FINANCIAL COMMUNITY WAS INCLINED TO HEDGE ITS BETS, SIT ON ITS HANDS, AND AWAIT FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS. THE PHILIPPINES, I ADDED, CANNOT AFFORD SUCH HESITANCY: IT NEEDS CONCRETE EXPRESSIONS OF CONFIDENCE IN THE FORM OF INVESTMENTS AND CREDITS. GR WAS EVASIVE WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS THAT MIGHT BE UNDER CONSIDERATION. HE RECALLED THAT I HAD PRESSED THE SAME POINT IN A CONVERSATION WITH HIM LAST WEEK, AND SAID THAT HE HAD RAISED THE MATTER WITH THE PRESIDENT. HE SAID THAT HE WAS NOT IN A POSITION TO DISCUSS THE MATTER GROWING DISAFFECTION OF THE BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL CLASSES IN METRO MANILA, HE SAID THAT HE WAS AWARE OF IT AND THAT HE WAS TRYING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

This phase-down would result in a saving of 785 spaces. A 50 percent phase-down (Column IV, Annex A) would require a significant increase in costs, primarily due to the need to contract for communications services. A 100 percent phase-down (Column V, Annex A) would require an even greater increase in costs, primarily due to the need to move and store War Reserve Materiel and to contract for communications services. ADP-W AISI SENSITIVE THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE WASHINGTON, D.C. 20301 30 NOV 1974 MEMORANDUM FOR LIEUTENANT GENERAL BRENT SCOWCROFT, DEPUTY ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT FOR NATIONAL SECURITY AFFAIRS SUBJECT: Changes in U.S. Force Levels on Taiwan (C) (TS) This memorandum responds to your verbal request for alternative plans to accomplish a 25, 50 and 100 percent phase-down of nonintelligence forces on Taiwan. (TS) Projected U.S. nonintelligence force strengths on Taiwan for end FY 1974 and end FY 1975 are 3,550 and 2,277 respectively. Composition of these force levels is covered in Annex A. Alternative plans for a 25, 50 and 100 percent phase-down of U.S. nonintelligence personnel remaining on Taiwan at end FY 1975 are outlined in subsequent paragraphs. (TS) The following actions, listed in order of priority, represent the 25 percent phase-down plan (Column III, Annex A): a. (TS) Utilize contractor personnel to accomplish some of the War Reserve Materiel (WRM) storage, to support the depot maintenance function, and to perform base security functions at Tainan Air Base. This will permit a reduction of 282 spaces. b. (TS) Reduce the U.S. Air Force communications group at Ching Chuan Kang (CCK) Air Base, thereby saving 92 spaces. c. (TS) Phase out the 327th Air Division and reduce associated support at Taipei Air Station and other operating locations, thereby saving 411 spaces. These foregoing actions would result in a saving of 785 spaces which constitutes a 34 percent reduction. (TS) The following actions, listed in order of priority, represent the 50 percent phase-down plan (Column IV, Annex A): a. (TS) Reduce United States Navy support personnel in Taipei by 84 spaces. b. (TS) Reduce United States Navy support activities at Taichung, Tainan, and Tsoying, thereby saving 30 spaces. c. (TS) Convert the United States Naval Hospital, Taipei, to a Navy dispensary, with a saving of 59 spaces. d. (TS) Reduce U.S. Army Communications Command (USACC) Taiwan by 163 spaces. This can only be accomplished by a reduction in mission requirements or by incurring significant unprogrammed communications contract service costs. This cost is estimated to be $2.3 million annually. (TS) The 100 percent phase-down plan (Column V, Annex A) requires the following actions, which are discussed in greater detail at Annex B: a. (TS) Inactivate the Taiwan Defense Command, thereby saving 83 spaces. b. (TS) Shift the security assistance functions of the MAAG to the U.S. Defense Attache Office, thereby saving 50 spaces. c. (TS) Inactivate the USACC-Taiwan and transfer 138 communication manpower spaces to intelligence force levels, with an overall saving of 264 spaces. Estimated increase in annual cost is $4.8 million. d. (TS) Move the WRM now on Taiwan, plus that to be added upon withdrawal from Thailand, to CONUS for storage; discontinue use of depot repair facilities in Taiwan for depot maintenance on U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Marine Corps aircraft in the Pacific (there is no similar facility in the Pacific); and, reduce support personnel for the inactivated units as permitted by the unit inactivation schedule. These actions would permit a reduction of 759 spaces, e.g., WRM, depot maintenance, and support personnel functions overlap and utilize 759 spaces. Estimated increase in annual cost is $59.9 million. (TS) In considering the military functions the United States performs on Taiwan, there are specific operations/forces that should receive priority for remaining on Taiwan in the event of a phase-down of U.S. nonintelligence military forces. These are summarized in order of priority in Annex B. (TS) In summary, we conclude that a 34 percent phase-down (Column III, Annex A) is the maximum that can be achieved without incurring significant unprogrammed costs. This phase-down would result in a saving of 785 spaces. A 50 percent phase-down (Column IV, Annex A) would require a significant increase in costs, primarily due to the need to contract for communications services. A 100 percent phase-down (Column V, Annex A) would require an even greater increase in costs, primarily due to the need to move and store War Reserve Materiel and to contract for communications services. reductions are possible, a 100 percent reduction would be detrimental to US interests and would severely limit our ability to support the ROC in the event of a crisis or conflict. Therefore, it is recommended that the TDC be retained at a reduced level of 50 personnel. b. Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) (1) The MAAG is presently authorized 231 personnel (190 military and 41 civilian). The mission of the MAAG is to provide military assistance and advice to the ROC Armed Forces. Key functions include: (a) Administer and supervise US military assistance programs and training activities for the ROC Armed Forces. (b) Furnish technical assistance and advice to the ROC Armed Forces on matters relating to military equipment, materiel, and training. (c) Conduct joint training with ROC Armed Forces and plan for their employment in limited and general war operations. (d) Develop and conduct bilateral exercises to assist the ROC in improving capabilities to support the Mutual Defense Treaty. (e) Coordinate with the ROC Armed Forces on the disposition of US military equipment and supplies. (2) The MAAG is currently staffed at the minimum level required to accomplish its mission. Any reduction in personnel would seriously degrade the MAAG's ability to provide military assistance and advice to the ROC Armed Forces. A 100 percent reduction would be detrimental to US interests and would severely limit our ability to support the ROC in the event of a crisis or conflict. Therefore, it is recommended that the MAAG be retained at its current level of 231 personnel. c. Military Assistance Command, Taiwan (MACT) (1) MACT is presently authorized 6 personnel (5 military and 1 civilian). The mission of MACT is to provide administrative and logistic support to US military personnel and activities in the ROC. Key functions include: (a) Furnish administrative support to US military personnel and activities in the ROC. (b) Coordinate with the ROC Armed Forces on logistic and transportation matters. (c) Provide administrative and logistic support to US military personnel assigned to the ROC. (d) Provide administrative and logistic support to US military activities in the ROC. (2) The current authorized level of 6 personnel is the minimum required to accomplish MACT's mission. Any reduction in personnel would seriously degrade MACT's ability to provide support to US military personnel and activities in the ROC. A 100 percent reduction would be detrimental to US interests and would severely limit our ability to support the ROC in the event of a crisis or conflict. Therefore, it is recommended that MACT be retained at its current level of 6 personnel. ferred to the ROC. While certain functions such as maintenance of the functions Annex 8 va tt‘: Tor UABLASSIgERsITIvE TOP SECRET - SENSITIVE / could conceivably be performed offshore or by an element within the Defense Attache Office (DAO), efficiency and effectiveness would suffer. A 100 percent reduction would not only cause a serious degradation of US planning capability for the defense of Taiwan but may not be politically acceptable because of the implications that the United States would not be standing by its commitments under the Mutual Defense Treaty. b. Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) (1) The MAAG is currently authorized 50 personnel (46 military and four civilians). The MAAG is essential to complete force modernization programs which place major emphasis on air and naval defenses. Key functions to be retained include: (a) Assist ROC in planning and structuring its armed forces defense posture. a (b) Assist ROC in developing armed forces operational readiness status consistent with US standards. (c) Assist ROC in development of joint service doctrine and operations. (d) Develop and recommend US military security assistance plans for ROC supporting US objectives and policies. (e) Observe and report on end-item utilization of MAP equipment and insure excess MAP property is disposed of in accordance with existing bilateral agreements. (f) Advise and assist ROC in the purchase of military systems (Foreign Military Sales). (g) Advise and assist ROC in the initiation, development, and management of military production consistent with US interests. (h) Advise and assist ROC with grant AID and FMS training programs. (2) The MAAG performs an important advisory role during a crucial period in the modernization of ROC forces. There are deficiencies in the ROC capability to defend the island, and the MAAG, through its advisory role and management of the MAP and FMS programs, provides valuable assistance in correcting these deficiencies. Annex 8 TOP SECRET - SENSITIVE TOP SECRET - SENSITIVE (3) It is possible to effect reductions in the MAAG. However, the advisory role and MAP/FMS management effectiveness would immediately be adversely affected. While it may be feasible to conduct some of the advisory roles from offshore or by an element within the Defense Attache Office (DAO), and to conduct end-item utilization inspections and to manage the excess MAP equipment program on a TDY basis, these functions may not be accomplished with sufficient effectiveness to satisfy congressional requirements. c. US Army Communications Command (USACC)--Taiwan. USACC--Taiwan currently has 427 authorized personnel (406 military and 21 civilians). (1) The USACC--Taiwan operates and maintains the Taiwan portion of the high capacity Integrated Joint Communications System-Pacific (IJCS-PAC). IJCS-PAC provides a main-line route of communications from the Philippines to Fuchu, Japan. It also provides a bridge between the northern (Guam to Japan) and the southern (Guam to Philippines) commercial transpacific undersea cable routes connecting the Western Pacific and Hawaii and ultimately with CONUS. These facilities and certain operating personnel are required regardless of the size of the US military presence on Taiwan. Additionally, USACC-Taiwan operates and maintains essential communications subsystems, such as secure voice, secure record traffic, and dial central office, to support American Embassy, TDC, MAAG, intelligence activities, and other on-island units. Until such time as the missions of the supported agencies change, it will be essential to provide the personnel to operate and maintain the communications system in Taiwan. (2) It is feasible to reduce significantly the US military personnel requirements for the USACC--Taiwan by US civilian substitution and contractual arrangements. However, there are limitations to these actions. A 100 percent phasedown, for example, will require 138 (134 military/46 civilians) communications manpower spaces to be transferred to the ROC. While certain functions such as maintenance of the facilities on Taiwan would result in the following impacts: (a) Loss of depot-level maintenance support for USAF, USN, and USMC aircraft in Asia and the Pacific. (b) Loss of maintenance support for MAP countries. (c) Loss of depot-level repair facilities for equipment used by US military personnel stationed on Taiwan. (d) Loss of capability to support the repair and overhaul of aircraft and equipment during contingency operations in the Pacific region. (2) Cost. The cost to relocate the depot maintenance facilities to CONUS would be approximately $3 million. Additionally, there would be an annual cost of approximately $2 million to contract for depot maintenance support in the Pacific region. These costs do not include the potential impact on operational readiness and contingency support capability. (3) The current level of personnel (70) authorized for the depot maintenance activity is considered to be the minimum required to meet current operational commitments. Contract support for depot maintenance would not significantly reduce the requirement for military personnel, as supervisory and quality control personnel would still be required. TOP SECRET - SENSITIVE Annex 8 TOP SECRET - SENSITIVE The following is a list of functions/forces on Taiwan that should be phased down as rapidly as possible: a. Taiwan Defense Command (TDC). The TDC is the military headquarters of the ROC Armed Forces. It is a large organization that provides all military services for the RDC. The TDC is responsible for the overall defense of Taiwan and the offshore islands. It is organized into three major components: (1) General Headquarters (GHQ). The GHQ is the highest military command on Taiwan. It is responsible for the overall direction of the ROC Armed Forces, including the formulation of military plans and the conduct of military operations. (2) Taiwan Defense Command Headquarters (TDC HQ). The TDC HQ is responsible for the administration and support of the ROC Armed Forces on Taiwan. (3) Taiwan Defense Command Forward Headquarters (TDC FHQ). The TDC FHQ is responsible for the defense of the Taiwan area. b. Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG). The MAAG is the principal US military advisory and assistance organization on Taiwan. It is responsible for the conduct of the US military assistance program to the ROC Armed Forces and for the administration of US military assistance to the ROC Armed Forces. c. United States Army Communications Command--Taiwan (USACC-- Taiwan). The USACC--Taiwan is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the US communications system on Taiwan. It also provides communications services to the US military forces on Taiwan. d. War Reserve Materiel (WRM) Storage. The WRM storage facility is used for the storage of US military equipment and supplies that are required for the support of US forces on Taiwan in the event of an emergency. e. Aircraft Depot Maintenance. The aircraft depot maintenance facility is used for the maintenance and repair of US military aircraft on Taiwan.

He has recently told me he hums and talks to himself while at school and alone - he seems worried about it and says he is mad. He has not yet hit puberty either and is small for his age say around 12 year old size. Hi and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your question... With the limited information which you have given, I reckon that some symptoms (such as repeated skin picking, repeated touching, stroking of the hair) may indicative of ""compulsive"" behaviour. ""Compulsions"" are repetitive, unwanted acts or rituals or behaviour which the person is aware of doing but is unable to control, thus resulting in distress. Compulsions can exist alone or may often be associated with underlying ""obsessions"" (which are repetitive, unwanted thoughts, ideas or mental images) as part of a disorder called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). You need to elaborate more on his other behaviour, for example, the humming and talking to himself. Such symptoms, in childhood, can be due to a variety of causes (they could even be some kind of obsessive / compulsive symptoms, especially because your son is well aware of them and is distressed by them). What I would strongly advice you to do is to get a consultation with a Child Psychiatrist, who would be able to assess your son in detail and advise the appropriate management plan. Please do not hesitate or delay as it would only be putting your son through more unnecessary suffering and distress. All the best. - Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar Consultant Psychiatrist",Confidential "Pug's Fax Here are my thoughts on some of Pug's comments (Karen has faxed the memo from Pug I believe): 1 Roles of Audit and Finance Committees I agree with the distinction he draws and I don't see why the entire Board should not see risk/return information. We can tweak the policy to bring this to the fore. 2 Post-Audit I'll talk to Gorte 3 Capital Allocation Complex. Charges for risk capital would not be as difficult as allocating funding. Building balance sheets is key. 4 Trading Limits In my last tome I have effectively limited the use of D-VaR to the levels specified by the concentration buckets, so I think we have satisfied that concern. With position limits I would argue that ones needs them where VaR does not ""callibrate"" well, for example with Steel trading where there is no observable options market, you need more metrics to tell you about the risk. Conversely in US Gas I think the market is fairly deep and the VaR tells us much about the risk. Also, in a similar fashion to ""model approval"" under Basle Capital Adequacy rules, the quality of the risk administration process and other controls could make us more comfortable about just using VaR. 5 Reporting Policy Section 4.1.2.3.1 talks about violations and notifications. He is asking should he not be called for a five day loss (c) and an ETL excess (d), in addition to the usual corporate VaR breach and one day loss > VaR. I think the five day loss actually would warrant a Pug call because under the new method (5 day loss > 225% of VaR), the number could be very large (but also less likely). For ETL I would advise against having a Pug call on this since we still need to get the metric bedded down properly (and all the usual arguments about the math played out). The phrase ""at their discretion"" to which he refers means that the Risk Committee can tell who they like about violations, as they deem necessary - so its just built-in flexibility. 6 Liquidity We are cranking this right now.

November 17, 1993 Memorandum TO: The Secretary THROUGH: Mr. Tarnoff FROM: EAP - Winston Lord SUBJECT: Your Participation in President Clinton's Meeting with Chinese President Jiang Zemin at the APEC Leaders Conference in Seattle Friday, November 19, 1:40-2:40 p.m., The Rainier Club, Seattle President Clinton's meeting in Seattle with President Jiang Zemin culminates a period of intensive high-level dialogue following the President's approval in September of a comprehensive engagement strategy and featuring your own meeting with Foreign Minister Qian on September 30. This meeting is the first between American and Chinese Presidents since President Bush met his counterpart, then President Yang Shangkun, in February 1989 - before the June 1989 suppression of the Chinese democracy movement in Tiananmen Square. While President Jiang will come prepared to defend Chinese positions on human rights, nonproliferation, and trade, we believe that he will accentuate the positive and may bring with him additional gestures on our core concerns. Our goal is to rehearse the conceptual underpinnings of the engagement strategy and thereby underscore President Clinton's commitment to improving the U.S.-China relationship. But at the same time, we should again underscore the urgent necessity of progress on human rights and the other two areas as a prerequisite for the fundamental improvement of our bilateral relationship. TALKING POINTS - This meeting is an important opportunity to continue the constructive dialogue between the United States and China that has been ongoing since the President's approval of our comprehensive engagement strategy in September. - The President's meeting with President Jiang is the first between American and Chinese Presidents since 1989. This highlights the importance of our bilateral relationship and the potential for cooperation and mutual understanding. - We recognize and appreciate the progress that China has made in certain areas, such as economic reform and regional security. However, we remain concerned about human rights and the need for continued progress in this area. - The engagement strategy is not based on ignoring our differences, but rather on finding ways to work together despite them. We believe that this approach is in the best interests of both our countries. - We hope that this meeting will build upon the positive momentum of our recent high-level discussions and lead to further progress in our bilateral relationship.
