The general guidelines of management are as follows -* avoid activities which puts additional strain on the involved muscles* Ice packing to alleviate the acute pain* Once the acute pain subsides, Moist heat fomentation is to be done to relax the muscles* Physiotherapy to stretch and strengthen the back muscles* Ocassional analgesics & muscle relaxants as needed.Hope this information is helpful.

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.

Huang Hua said that he could not tell me what they would do if we introduced a resolution, but that they would not support any Indian resolution. He said that if we were to introduce a resolution, he would have to consult his government, and that he would have to tell me in advance what their position would be. I said that we would not expect them to support us publicly, but that we hoped that they would not oppose us publicly. I said that we would be willing to consult with them on the text of any resolution we might introduce. Overall, the meeting was cordial and productive. Both sides agreed to continue the private channel, and the Chinese were receptive to our concerns about public statements and the need to work together to prevent hostilities in South Asia. I believe that we have laid the groundwork for a successful visit by you and for continued cooperation in the United Nations. Secretary-General, and the Middle East. The Ambassador, whom I had met in Peking in July and has since been the PRC Ambassador in Ottawa, was affable but cautious. He generally cited his government's public statements as the approach they would take in New York. It was abundantly clear from Huang's performance that the PRC was surprised to gain admission to the UN this year, that it was not particularly enthusiastic about its entrance, and that its delegation is feeling its way in an unfamiliar environment. Following are the highlights of the session, which took place in a small apartment on the East Side, hastily arranged by CIA. The Private Channel and Public Performance We confirmed our agreement with the Chinese that Huang Hua and I would secretly exchange views on ""relevant issues of principle within the scope of the work of the United Nations."" We will communicate only on subjects of major importance, such as South Asia, at least until your visit, when various issues may become clearer. When consultations are necessary, we will decide on an ad hoc basis how each issue should be handled between us, and establish understandings which could then be implemented by Ambassador Bush in New York. I pointed out that it was in our mutual interest that we don't appear to be cooperating visibly, and I made clear that we did not seek a great deal of contact. After complimenting the Ambassador on how the PRC had turned aside requests from Democratic candidates to visit China, I emphasized the need for restraint in public statements between now and your visit. I said our side would avoid polemics, and pointed to their opening UN speech on November 15 as fodder for domestic opponents of your China policy. Many parties would like to derail your initiative; therefore while both sides would clearly stand by their convictions, we both had to be alert to this problem. I said that Vietnam was a particularly sensitive subject, a pointed reference to statements coming out of Peking during North Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Van Dong's current visit there. South Asia This took up the bulk of our time. I explained our approach both generally and in the United Nations; Ambassador Huang Hua referred to their public statements and reaffirmed PRC support for Pakistan. I said that we knew what the Indians were up to, and I repeated our intention to cut off assistance if they clearly launched aggression. We were alleviating the suffering and economic dislocation of the refugees, having given more to this effort than the rest of the world put together; we had earmarked $200 million for humanitarian relief in East Pakistan; and we favored a political solution of the problem and had taken many steps in this direction. Reemphasizing that we would not accept military aggression by India, I outlined what we were currently doing to prevent hostilities, including our approaches to New Delhi, Moscow, and Islamabad, our consideration of UN action, and our approaches to the British and Germans. Ambassador Huang Hua pointed to Chou En-lai's statements to me, their note in the other channel, their Foreign Minister's speech during Bhutto's visit in Peking, and their recent speech in the UN as representing Peking's basic position. This adds up to strong backing of Pakistan, including military assistance, but falls short of a commitment to send troops in the event of hostilities. I outlined the type of resolution we were considering, and said that we would not expect the Chinese to support us publicly, but asked that they not speak out against us and that they not support any Indian resolution.

He inquired, and I confirmed, that we would probably not propose a Resolution but would work toward one that might have a restraining impact. He indicated the PRC's unenthusiastic resignation to the prospect of Security Council action, saying it was out of their hands. I pointed out that it was in our mutual interest not to appear to have positions too close on this issue, thus establishing the fact that we will have to be more evenhanded than they. I assured him that we would not force the pace on this issue and would give them advance information on anything that we know would occur. My efforts to elicit more precise positions on their part were fruitless, as he clearly was restricting himself to their public statements and to assessing the situation as it evolves. Ambassador Huang asked for our assessment of the military situation and I gave him the rundown of our latest intelligence estimates. Successor to U Thant I said that we would take into account their views on U Thant's successor, making it clear that I did not expect an answer at this time. He asked our views, and I said that we had not made any final judgment but had a slight leaning toward Jacobson at this point. The only candidate we had ruled out was Herrern. He stated that they were unfamiliar with all the candidates and were still studying the situation. He pointed out that our official rejection of Herrera had put them in an awkward position when they were asked about his candidacy. I said that we would give them advance warning of any new official positions on the various candidates that we might take. He wondered whether there was anything to the suggestions that U Thant might stay on for a brief interim period while a successor was chosen. Ambassador Bush and I knocked down this possibility, saying that a decision was needed by January 1. The Middle East He raised this subject, asking in particular how it might be treated in the bilateral talks. I briefly recounted the negotiating history - the TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE/EXCLUSIVELY EYES ONLY TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE/EXCLUSIVELY EYES ONLY bilateral talks with the Soviet Union, the Four Power talks in the UN, and our recent intermediary role. Ambassador Bush and I pointed out that no serious discussion had really been held among the Four Powers. I mentioned in low key that we would not be opposed to their participation in this forum, and he emphasized that the PRC was not interested in joining these talks. I said that we had hoped that negotiations would move away from discussions of theoretical formulations toward concrete progress, and I pointed out the difficulties which had arisen over an interim settlement which we had thought was important to show movement. Our immediate efforts in the UN debate would be to prevent exacerbation of feeling on both sides, as well as more rigid commitment by the Israelis to existing lines. I explained that making too absolute demands on Israel had the practical tendency of making it easier for it to dig in. Taiwan Independence Demonstrations I preempted this subject, knowing their sensitivities and the fact that there had been some recent demonstrations around their hotel. I reaffirmed that there was no US official involvement in these demonstrations. We could and would not interfere in demonstrations so long as they were legal and orderly. I pointed out that you had been the target of larger demonstrations than they. Ambassador Huang did not press the issue, but pointed out that there had been increasing Taiwan independence activities recently in the US and in other places, such as Japan. I repeated what I had told Chou En-lai, namely that we would not encourage or participate in such movements. The meeting ended with agreement on future contacts and additional pleasantries.

Dear Ma'am,Sorry to hear about your problem. The breast ultrasound report appears to be absolutely normal. The pimple which you have described under the armpit (axilla) is probably an infected sebaceous cyst (infection of the hair follicle) and will subside with time. If it is inflamed and not settling, you can take a course of antibiotic. There are no symptoms suggestive of cancer but you should continue to do breast self examination regularly.Hoping for the best.

The pimple which you have described under the armpit (axilla) is probably an infected sebaceous cyst (infection of the hair follicle) and will subside with time. If it is inflamed and not settling, you can take a course of antibiotic. There are no symptoms suggestive of cancer but you should continue to do breast self examination regularly.Hoping for the best.

A second new position will become necessary if the program is increased. The budget decreases in FY 1988 are due to normal post assignment and R&R travel variations. 2. Summary Code 200. Foreign national direct hire costs include one position beginning in FY 1987. At least two such positions were anticipated in the action memorandum mentioned in Section A above. A formal request will be made when it becomes clear that a direct hire position is required. 3. Summary Code 300. Contract personnel costs increase because the Office was in continuous operation for 12 months in FY 1987. It was not fully staffed until the third quarter of FY 1986. 4. Summary Code 500. Office operations costs drop in FY 1988 because the Office will have been nearly fully equipped, and replacement costs will not yet be required.

The PRC has not repeated its interest in such an agreement, and we have not pursued the matter. The Chinese may be more interested now, but we have no way of knowing. The Chinese have made it clear that they do not intend to be bound by any of the existing international agreements on nuclear weapons. They have not, however, made a similar statement with regard to the use of force in general. It is possible that they would find it desirable to make such a statement now in order to emphasize their opposition to the US policy of nuclear deterrence. On the other hand, the Chinese may see little advantage in such an agreement. They may feel that they have already made their position clear in the past. They may also feel that the agreement does not cover the issue of Taiwan and that it is not in their interest to have this issue raised. B. GRC Reaction: It is difficult to predict GRC reaction. The GRC has been concerned that the US might be seeking to negotiate with the PRC on issues affecting the GRC, and it might interpret this initiative as such an attempt. At the same time, the GRC has been concerned that US attempts to improve relations with the PRC might lead to the US softening its position on the GRC. A renunciation of force agreement would not affect the US commitment to the GRC, but the GRC would probably see it as another step in the direction of recognizing the PRC. C. Asian Reaction: In general, Asian reaction would probably be favorable. This would be particularly true if the agreement were seen as a further step in the direction of a lessening of tensions between the US and the PRC. There is, however, a possibility that — -4- some Asians would see the agreement as an attempt by the US to abandon its Asian friends. D. Soviet Reaction: The Soviets would probably see the agreement as further evidence of the US desire to improve relations with the PRC. The Soviets would be able to point to the agreement as evidence that the US was indeed interested in renouncing the use of force and that the US was not really interested in a nuclear non-proliferation treaty. E. Domestic Reaction: The domestic reaction would probably be generally favorable. The US would be seen as taking a step which would reduce tensions and possibly lead to a lessening of the arms race. IV. Possible Alternatives A. A PRC proposal for a renunciation of force agreement: It is possible that the Chinese might propose such an agreement themselves. If they did so, we would have to consider the proposal on its merits. We would also have to consider the timing and the possible effect on our relations with the GRC. B. A renunciation of force agreement which included a statement on Taiwan: The Chinese might be willing to include a statement on Taiwan in a renunciation of force agreement. If they did so, we would have to consider the merits of such a proposal and the possible effect on our relations with the GRC. C. A renunciation of force agreement which included a statement on nuclear weapons: The Chinese might be willing to include a statement on nuclear weapons in a renunciation of force agreement. If they did so, we would have to consider the merits of such a proposal and the possible effect on our relations with the GRC. D. A renunciation of force agreement which included a statement on Taiwan and nuclear weapons: The Chinese might be willing to include a statement on Taiwan and nuclear weapons in a renunciation of force agreement. If they did so, we would have to consider the merits of such a proposal and the possible effect on our relations with the GRC. Soviet interests, as it does not involve the Soviet Union in any way. However, the Soviet Union may view the agreement as a potential threat to its influence in the region, as it could lead to improved US-PRC relations and potentially weaken the Soviet Union's position. The Soviet Union may also see the agreement as a sign of the US trying to contain its influence in Asia. Overall, the Soviet Union may view the proposal with suspicion and may attempt to undermine it in any way possible. Any of our objectives in SALT. Moreover, we would not wish to permit the Soviets to introduce political linkage into SALT, or permit them to use SALT -- or negotiations on other fronts -- to determine our policy toward the PRC. To the extent that actual achievement of such an agreement between the US and PRC might tend to keep the Soviet Union somewhat off-balance, both the US and the PRC might find that effect useful. D. Domestic Reaction. It is possible that some critics of US involvement in Asia might seek to portray the agreement (if it were actually concluded) as reducing the need for US commitments to Asian countries and for the capabilities necessary to support such commitments. On the other hand, such an agreement (or the effort to achieve one) would represent a further demonstration of the Administration's desire to effect a more workable relationship with the PRC. This should be well-received, and public understanding of the Administration's efforts to improve stability in the region through political means might, overall, help counter criticism of continuing US involvement. IV. Question of Linkage with Troop Reduction - Withdrawal Issue Troop withdrawals from Taiwan would improve the prospects for any move to better US-PRC relations. However, there would be no advantage to making a direct link between a renunciation of force agreement and the question of reduction or withdrawal of US forces from Taiwan. Our military forces on Taiwan are there in large part to support operations in Southeast Asia. We believe there is no need to seek a quid pro quo from Peking for their reduction or withdrawal. Moreover, to link a renunciation of force agreement to the troop reduction-withdrawal issue might lessen our future flexibility in using bases on Taiwan if the copy should arise. Any kind of linkage would have a drastic effect on the GRC if the GRC became aware of it, since the GRC would have no confidence whatever in any such renunciation by the PRC. We should take the position with the GRC that the agreement was pursued for its own merits and that it was not in itself the basis for any US troop reduction or withdrawal from Taiwan. A renunciation of force agreement would have utility as a political symbol without being linked to the question of a reduction in US military presence in Taiwan. In fact, to make such a linkage in our initial proposal could risk detracting from its utility as a political symbol. As a possible means of influencing Peking to postpone resolution of the Taiwan issue and move toward improved relations, troop reductions or withdrawal would be of equal value if made unilaterally (or in consultation with the GRC) and then called to the attention of Peking as an indication of US intentions. In fact, the nature of the Chinese ""psyche"" suggests that this approach may have greater effect than explicit linkage in negotiation.",Confidential,DISC_Security,"was that such a statement was unnecessary and would only complicate matters.

Bleeding on skin should normally stop within three minutes. If it persists it indicates some bleeding problems maybe decreased platelet counts/ defective platelets/ vascular disorders.2. In your case it persisted for two hours which is abnormal. So you need to consult a doctor to evaluate the cause of bleed and appropriate course of action.3. You are not sure if its a mole or just a tear. So its important to know the type of lesion. That will help the lesion to heal faster as a mole can be excised so that you would not have this problem again.4.

I had sensitivity towards cold and sweets for years. The tooth was slightly loose. 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. Now, I have pain, pressure and it hurts even for a light pressure on the tooth. I do not have sensitivity. Now, it has been two days, and still, I have pain over the tooth. Please help. Hi. 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.

Every time I bend down or cough it hurts. If I press on it the pain radiates down to my buttock. The pain is like an injection being inserted into the buttock/ hip/ lower back. Please help. Just want to know if it anything serious or whether it is soft tissue damage. Most likely it is soft tissue injury.

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.

Can this be a piece of bone the was left over from the extraction or a abscess .? Should i take any over the counter meds until I can afford to go to the dentist in about 2 weeks. Also what would be the most likely treatment for either? Dear friend.Thanks for sharing your concern.The hard lump that you are experiencing over the extraction site could be definitely a bone piece or an out growth called exostosis.It is better to get it clinically examined to avoid any cyst or tumor developing there.you can take pain killer for the time being but please see your dentist soon.Also do warm saline rinses every day until you see your dentist and maintain very good oral hygiene.Hope it helps.Thanks.Take care.,Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,hi i had a right rear molar extracted about 3 years ago and in its location a hard lump or protrusion has appeared in the last week that is painful.

The tenderness could be due to super added infection on it.When you visit your doctor, you should have complete faith in him and tell him all the details of your problem without any hesitation.

I sincerely hope that its not cavities since I hate having dental dilemma. I am already very careful with my braces and they should be removed in a couple of months. I eat quite healthy, yes I do eat junk from time to time, but my family eat lots of veggies and fruits, and we've given up pasta and white rice for kinois and brown rice. My mom has noticed that the gum on my left side has swelled up, so maybe that's the cause? If it is, how would that affect my tooth? Any suggestions to make the pain go away? I'm sorry, for asking all these questions, but I'd like to study dentistry when I'm older so I'm very interested and like to know what's happening in my mouth. Please respond asap and give details!

It also seems to mention some charges of interference by the US and UK in Afghanistan." "acceptable to the Afghan people. The term “national reconciliation"" does not appear to refer to the kind of political settlement which the majority of Afghans would accept. Instead, it appears to be a euphemism for a negotiated surrender of the Afghan resistance forces. - SETTLEMENT OF THE AFGHAN CONFLICT: The Soviet Union continues to insist that a settlement of the Afghan conflict must be based on the 1978 Afghan-Soviet Friendship Treaty. This is a treaty which the Soviets imposed on the Afghan people through the puppet regime of Babrak Karmal. The treaty has never been ratified by the Afghan people and is not recognized by the Afghan resistance. - SOVIET TROOP WITHDRAWAL: The Soviet Union has announced that it will withdraw six regiments from Afghanistan as a ""stimulus"" for a settlement. This is a token gesture that falls far short of the complete, unconditional, and simultaneous withdrawal of all Soviet troops that the Afghan people and the international community have been demanding for eight years. - OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE: The Soviet Union continues to blame the Afghan conflict on ""outside interference."" This is a transparent attempt to divert attention from the Soviet Union's own interference in Afghanistan. The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and has continued to occupy that country for eight years. The Afghan resistance is a response to Soviet aggression, not the cause of it. - SOVIET USE OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS: The Soviet Union has repeatedly used chemical weapons in Afghanistan. The Soviet Union has refused to allow a United Nations team to investigate these charges. The Soviet Union's use of chemical weapons in Afghanistan is a violation of international law and an affront to the conscience of mankind. - HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS: The Soviet Union and its puppet regime in Afghanistan have committed numerous and well- documented human rights violations against the Afghan people. These violations include the torture of prisoners, the deportation of entire villages, and the destruction of mosques and other religious shrines. The Soviet Union's record of human rights violations in Afghanistan is a matter of record and is a subject of concern to the international community. (9) SOVIET OBJECTIVES The Soviet Union's objectives in Afghanistan are to maintain and extend Soviet hegemony in Southwest Asia. The Soviet Union seeks to control Afghanistan's natural resources, including its oil and gas reserves. The Soviet Union also seeks to expand its military presence in the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean. The Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan was a flagrant violation of international law and a threat to peace and stability in Southwest Asia. The Soviet Union's continued occupation of Afghanistan is a continuing threat to international peace and security. (10) CONCLUSION The Soviet Union's policies in Afghanistan have been characterized by aggression, occupation, and human rights violations. The Soviet Union has shown no willingness to negotiate a settlement that would be acceptable to the Afghan people and the international community. The Soviet Union's use of chemical weapons and its refusal to allow a United Nations investigation are further evidence of its irresponsibility and disregard for international norms. The United States and the international community have repeatedly called for the complete, unconditional, and simultaneous withdrawal of all Soviet troops from Afghanistan. The Soviet Union's continued occupation of Afghanistan is a violation of international law and a threat to peace and stability in Southwest Asia.

Thank you for the query. Most common skin cancer (Carcinoma Basocellulare) is very different than other cancers. It has very high level of survivals, grows really slowly and extremely rare gives metastases. That is why, the only thing which should be done with it is to remove it completely. So even if the pathological result will be cancer, most likely nothing else will be done with it and the treatment will be over.

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.

So in case if you have tooth infection then you should just relax as there is nothing to get so anxious and suffer from side effects and it will be better to consult a Dentist and get evaluated and an x ray of tooth can be done.You can be advised a course of antibiotics and painkillers followed by treating the tooth with root canal treatment or extraction of tooth depending on the condition of the tooth.Hope this helps.

Could you tell me what it is as I would be most greatful. Thanks, Denise. it sounds like you have avascular necrosis of the hips. this leads to abnormal motion at the hip joint, causing accelerated degeneration of the joint. this leads to eventual cartilage loss and soon, bone to bone contact and subsequently severe pain on movement of the hip.this condition can be caused bu several factors including steroid use, alcohol, autoimmune diseases, injuries around the hip etc. in some cases no identifiable cause is found.should it be due to the above factors, you should stop usage of steroids, unless there is no other choice and alcohol intake.i tend to agree that you need hip replacements, provided that you are significantly affected by the pain ie unable to perform your normal daily activities. however if you are coping well with the pain, there is a role of watchful waiting, only performing the surgery if necessary.",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"Hi, I ve been told I have a rare condition where my bones are crumbling in my hips and I have to have two new ones.My doctor didn t tell me what it was called and I was too shocked to ask.

"Hi. 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. These bruises would be rlated to trombocytes and clooting factors and these are normal so she probbaly just got hit and you didnt notice.

"Hello doctor, My friend aged 30 had two drops of phenol mistaking for milk. He vomited and had lot of salt water. Please advice for any side effect. Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. 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. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation.

My girlfriend started taking the birth control pill Sprintec the Sunday her period started. She stopped taking it on the following Friday because of the side effect. It has been about 20-22 days since she has last taken it and about a week or two after getting off of the pill she started saying she feels nausea and gets bad cramping. We ve had protected sex and I always take caution and pull out before I finish. It is the 25th and she usually starts on the 1st. Could she be pregnant? Or are they side effect of getting off of the pill? And can the pill push her period back some? She did have spotting about 2-3 days after she stopped taking the pill. Hello,Thanks for letting us know your health concern. I have gone through your query and would like to offer some information. Withdrawal effects of the oral contraceptive pill can cause the symptoms she is experiencing and also the spotting that she saw. If you are practicing only the withdrawal method, chances of failure are more. You need to use double protection for better result. She may also experience a delayed period in this cycle since she used the pill for sometime. Please get further help if she becomes overdue by ten days. Pregnancy chances are less in the current scenario. Hope this helps.",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"Hello, I m a young boy with bad anxiety and I have a question.

We ve had protected sex and I always take caution and pull out before I finish. It is the 25th and she usually starts on the 1st. Could she be pregnant? Or are they side effect of getting off of the pill? And can the pill push her period back some? She did have spotting about 2-3 days after she stopped taking the pill. Hello,Thanks for letting us know your health concern. I have gone through your query and would like to offer some information. Withdrawal effects of the oral contraceptive pill can cause the symptoms she is experiencing and also the spotting that she saw. If you are practicing only the withdrawal method, chances of failure are more. You need to use double protection for better result. She may also experience a delayed period in this cycle since she used the pill for sometime. Please get further help if she becomes overdue by ten days. Pregnancy chances are less in the current scenario. Hope this helps."

In fact insertion of tip of penis (glans) inside the vagina is sufficient to cause pregnancy - even before the ejaculation. Before ejaculation, possibility of deposition of preejaculation secretions (precum) is always there. This gets deposited unknowingly and the person is not aware that he has ejaculated precum. Precum contains some sperms which are capable of causing pregnancy. However, in your case, since within two days after intercourse, you have got your menses, there is no possibility of pregnancy for two reasons.:1. The egg release is 14 days before the menses; while you had intercourse two days before the sex. Hence there was no egg present to get fertilized.2. You have got the menses 2 days after the sex proving that you are not pregnant. So dear, please remove the concern of pregnancy from your mind and enjoy your life. To avoid such stressful situations in future I would advise you to use reliable contraception method like birth control pills, condom or intrauterine device.

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.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.You are on 4 weeks and 1 day. Just brown spotting could be due to implantation bleeding, premenstrual symptoms, and hormonal imbalance. Implantation bleeding occurs at the time of the period and just like spotting, it is brown to pink colour. If your period is delayed by more than 8 to 10 days, then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG test to confirm the pregnancy. Meanwhile avoid stress, take healthy diet, maintain proper pelvic hygiene, drink plenty of water, do regular exercise.Hope I have answered your query.

I TOLD MARCOS THAT I HOPE PAF WILL DO THIS JOB THOROUGHLY IN ORDER TO ASSIST US IN MAKING SURE THAT NO IMPROPER CARGOES ARE TRANSHIPPED THROUGH MACTAN. I ALSO ARGUED THAT SINCE NO USAF CARGOES GO OUT THE GATES AT MACTAN, SINCE PAF CONTROLS THE GATES, AND SINCE Cml4! FLIGHTS TO MACTAN HAD DIFFERENT CREWS AND DID NOT COME DIRECTLY FROM HONG KONG OR JAPAN, IT SEEMED TO ME THAT SHIPMENT OF ILLICIT CARGOES BY THIS ROUTE WAS NOT A PRACTICAL POSSIBILITY.

UPON MY RETURN TO MANILA ON OCTOBER 4, I REVIEWED THE MEMORANDUM SUMMARIZING THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION AT MACTAN WHICH I THEN FORWARDED TO PRESIDENT MARCOS UNDER COVER OF A LETTER ANALYZING THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM AND DESCRIBING THE STEPS WE HAVE TAKEN TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY IMPROPER IMPORTATIONS IN FUTURE. I OF COURSE TOLD HIM THAT I AM READY TO DISCUSS THE MATTER WITH HIM AT ANY TIME. MY LETTER WAS DELIVERED TO MALACANANG ON THE EVENING OF OCTOBER 4. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM MARCOS AS YET. 2. IN MY LETTER, IN ADDITION TO SUMMARIZING THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION, I CALLED HIS ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINE AIR FORCE CONTROLS GATES AT MACTAN. I TOLD MARCOS THAT I HOPE PAF WILL DO THIS JOB THOROUGHLY IN ORDER TO ASSIST US IN MAKING SURE THAT NO IMPROPER CARGOES ARE TRANSHIPPED THROUGH MACTAN. I ALSO ARGUED THAT SINCE NO USAF CARGOES GO OUT THE GATES AT MACTAN, SINCE PAF CONTROLS THE GATES, AND SINCE Cml4! FLIGHTS TO MACTAN HAD DIFFERENT CREWS AND DID NOT COME DIRECTLY FROM HONG KONG OR JAPAN, IT SEEMED TO ME THAT SHIPMENT OF ILLICIT CARGOES BY THIS ROUTE WAS NOT A PRACTICAL POSSIBILITY. I ALSO DESCRIBED PROCEDURES INSTITUTED AT MACTAN TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT EVERYTHING OFFLOADED FROM USAF AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED AND THAT NOTHING COULD BE OFFLOADED SURREPTITIOUSLY. SIMILAR MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN AT CLARK FOR AIRCRAFT COMING FROM HONG KONG AND JAPAN. 3. A COPY OF MY LETTER TO PRESIDENT MARCOS WAS SENT TO ASSISTANT SECRETARY GREEN.

The DOD study recognized this and proposed several measures to improve intelligence capabilities. These include improving satellite technology, increasing human intelligence sources, and developing better analytical tools. The new draft Employment Policy also emphasizes the importance of intelligence in decision making and targeting. The second major objective of the new policy is to provide more flexible strategic options. This is achieved through a new targeting strategy called the ""Flexible Response Option"" (FRO). This strategy allows for a more tailored and proportional response to enemy actions, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The FRO also takes into account the potential use of non-nuclear weapons and the need for coordination with allies. Another important aspect of the new policy is the emphasis on minimizing collateral damage and civilian casualties. This is achieved through a more precise and discriminate targeting process, as well as the use of non-nuclear weapons when appropriate. The new policy also recognizes the potential for unintended consequences and the need for careful consideration of the political and humanitarian implications of targeting decisions. Overall, the new draft Employment Policy represents a significant shift in U.S. nuclear targeting strategy. It recognizes the need for flexibility, control of escalation, and consideration of collateral damage and civilian casualties. However, there are still many issues that need to be addressed and further NSC consideration is necessary before finalizing the policy. Avoiding instability (i.e., pressures ""use of lose"" nuclear forces in the course of any exchanges) by tailoring targeting tasks to the appropriate type of weapon (e.g., bombers should not be used for the counter value reserve since they are not survivable for an extended period). This is designed to provide ""trans-attack stability"", i.e., minimize pressure to escalate. -- Avoiding destruction of the enemy's key national command-control facilities to ensure he can control escalation and not resort to ""automatic"" responses. The second major element of the new policy is guidance for the situation where efforts to prevent escalation fail. In this case, our forces would be used to minimize the enemy's residual military power and recovery capability and not simply destroy his population and industry. The objective is to enhance our relative post-war power and influence. Thus, the emphasis is not on inflicting urban/industrial damage for its own sake but on destroying those assets essential to post-war recovery -- including military personnel which would form the backbone of organized rebuilding efforts. Just what targets fit this criteria is not clear and the new guidance calls for further study of this issue. Weapons Allocation Priorities. A key factor in having more flexible response options is how weapons are allocated to targets. How this allocation is made determines whether we have enough of the right kind of weapons to carry out flexible options, to provide for a counter value reserve deterrent, and to ensure sufficient weapon survivability to provide trans-attack stability. Currently, we allocate most of our weapons against nuclear targets (e.g., silos) regardless of their survivability characteristics or whether we would be retaliating or preempting. Under the new proposal, there would be a sharp distinction between weapons priorities for options based on normal, day-to-day alert with damage (essentially retaliatory options) and a generated alert option without damage (essentially a preemptive strike). The table below compares the weapon assignment priorities for the current policy with the proposed policy. Nuclear Weapons Assignment Priorities Current Policy New Policy Priority Retaliatory or Preemptive Retaliatory Preemptive 1 Strategic nuclear targets Counter value Counter value 2 Counter value targets Command/Control Nuclear forces including hard silos 3 General purpose forces GP forces and Command/Control non-silo nuclear targets 4 N/A Hard silos GP forces targets This is not the order in which targets would be struck, but the priorities followed in allocating weapons to the target array. For example, the counter value targets would get first call on weapons. Thus, those weapons (probably SLBMs) that have ""enduring survivability"" would be allocated to the counter value mission even if they are suited or needed for strikes against nuclear threat targets. Should we preempt, this does not mean counter value targets would be struck first in a conflict -- rather, we would likely go after Soviet nuclear threats to us and our allies, withholding survivable counter value capability to deter the Soviets from escalating the conflict or hitting our cities. Attack Options: Recognizing the uncertainty over how a nuclear conflict might start, the new draft policy prescribes a wide range of options which fall into four basic classes: 1. Major Attacks -- These are the large war attacks along the line of the current SIOP. There are four options (M1) major Soviet and East European GP forces and nuclear military forces; (M2) the first option plus counter value political and economic targets; (M3) and (M4) the same two options but for the PRC rather than the USSR. There are withholds that can exclude targets collocated with major urban areas, targets in any specific country, Moscow and Peking and overflight of the USSR (in the PRC only options). ve) force. -- The size and composition of the counter value task -- The TOP SECRET 5 ab TL 2. Selected Attack Options -- There are 12 such options. They make a somewhat greater effort to control escalation. The selected attacks are smaller packages of the targets in the major options. Coupling these selected packages with various withholds should provide boundaries to discourage escalation. In addition to withholds discussed above, a withhold is specified so the enemy's attack assessment facilities might be preserved intact to enable him to determine the limited nature of the attack. In all cases, a reserve to carry out the counter value task would be maintained, using survivable forces to discourage the enemy from a major attack on our cities. The selected attack options spelled out in the guidelines are: (S1) Soviet nuclear threat to the U.S. (S2) The nuclear threat to NATO. (S3) The nuclear and conventional air threat to NATO. (S4) The conventional ground force threat to NATO. (S5) The naval threat to NATO. (S6) Nuclear defense of NATO without using CONUS based forces. (S7) Soviet nuclear threats to our forces and allies in Asia. (S8) Soviet conventional threat to our forces and allies in Asia. (S9) Soviet air defenses. (S10) PRC nuclear threats. (S11) PRC national civilian and military controls. (S12) PRC conventional threat to U.S. forces and allies. 3. Limited Options -- A wide range of limited options are also possible. However, the draft guidance does not really come to grips with this category in the specific terms used for Major and Selected Options. It states that Limited Options should be possible, drawing on selected parts of the above options. It also states that these options depend heavily on the scenario, require more study, and may in large part depend on circumstances at the time of war initiation. To facilitate development of limited options, a special planning staff would be established in the JCS to study and prepare preplanned limited options and design ad hoc options as required in a crisis. 4. Regional Options. These are options in which threats to any region are countered by strikes from U.S. nuclear forces in that region. As in the case of Limited Options, the guidance is not specific. It directs the JCS to prepare general plans for attacks on deployed enemy forces, their local control, reserves, reinforcements, and support facilities. The JCS is to develop a capability for rapid preparation, assessment, and execution of such options. Detailed plans which need to be developed just prior to launch will be made by the regional commanders. The guidance provides that general plans should be made for strikes in three circumstances: in response to Soviet nuclear attacks, after a prolonged conventional war, and after a short war. Planners should assume a high degree of control by the National Command Authorities. Every effort should be made to minimize collateral civilian damage through target restriction and choice of weapons. The enemy's control over its tactical nuclear forces should be left intact to avoid automatic responses. Damage Criteria Another major change in the policy is to downgrade the required damage expectancy, particularly against hard silo targets. This should result in a substantial freeing of resources for other tasks. Damage expectancy will normally not exceed 90%. (It now can go as high as 98%. For hard targets, the difference can mean a saving of several weapons per target since each weapon makes a decreasing contribution to damage expectancy at such high probability levels.) Fatalities from radiation will be considered for the first time in damage calculations. This will be one yardstick used for avoiding collateral nuclear damage in Limited Options. The Role of the JCS The JCS is given primary responsibility to fill in the gaps in the proposed target policy for presentation to the President and the Secretary of Defense. This includes: -- The size and composition of the swing (reserve) force. -- The size and composition of the counter value task. -- The selection of targets to be withheld. -- The development of limited options. -- The development of regional options. -- The assessment of damage expectancy. -- The development of plans for minimizing collateral damage. -- The development of plans for minimizing civilian casualties. -- The development of plans for avoiding automatic responses. -- The development of plans for preserving enemy control over tactical nuclear forces. TOPS II. Report to the Secretary of Defense on Strategic Policy The second document contained in Secretary Laird's memo to the President is a report of the Foster panel on overall strategic policy. The report attempts to examine the proposed employment policy in the larger strategic policy framework. To this end, it examines four major elements of strategic policy: -- Our strategic objectives. -- Our employment policy (i.e., targeting policy). -- Our nuclear weapons acquisition policies. -- Our arms control policies. The report also looks at three other related policy issues: our declaratory policy, the relationship of our strategic policy to NATO strategy and forces, and the relationship of the new proposed employment policy to our civil defense posture. The report concludes by proposing a new NSDM on strategic policy covering all these points (Appendix A), a revision in the Defense Program Planning Guidance (Appendix B-II), and an outline for our position on declaratory policy (Section C, p. 32). Strategic Objectives The report gives considerable attention to our strategic objectives, critiquing NSDM 16 and suggesting a revised statement of our strategic objectives. It points out that NSDM 16 is essentially a statement relating to acquisition policy and that the sufficiency criteria are ambiguous, unachievable, and out of date. -- The first criterion of sufficiency (maintaining a high confidence second-strike capability) is ambiguous about the retaliatory target system and our strategic targeting objectives. -- The second criterion (no first-strike incentive) is subject to differing interpretations which have not been resolved. -- The third criterion (maintaining a capability to do more damage to the USSR than they can do to us) loses significance at the very high fatality levels of general war and is not feasible from the standpoint of fatalities if the Soviets evacuate their cities. Moreover, this objective, if translated into targeting policy, could conflict with other desirable targeting objectives (i.e., limited options) which might have priority over urban industrial attacks. -- The fourth criterion (ABM defense) requires revision to reflect the ABM treaty and to include continental air defense. The recommended statement of our broad strategic policy objective generally accords with the objectives that have been outlined in the President's Annual Report. They include deterring nuclear attacks against the U.S. and its forces; helping deter attacks, conventional or nuclear, by nuclear powers against the U.S. and its Allies; and preventing coercion of the U.S. and its Allies by nuclear powers. The report, however, adds several other specific objectives designed to lay the basis for the new employment policy: -- If deterrence fails, to assure a U.S. position of power and influence and to limit damage to the U.S. and its Allies by controlling escalation. -- To the extent that escalation cannot be controlled, to maximize the resulting economic and military power of the U.S. relative to the enemy in the post-war period by striking critical recovery assets, by limiting damage to the U.S. (through counterforce attacks), and by maintaining a reserve force for post-war protection and coercion. -- To promote nuclear stability in force postures and in crises through measures designed to deny significant enemy advantages in striking first; a clear capability to counterbalance destabilizing actions by our adversaries; and structuring U.S. forces so they cannot be interpreted by the Soviets as threatening a disarming attack. The full implications of these objectives are not clear. The report proposes that they be given operational significance in the Defense Policy Planning Guidance. which is the preserve of the Secretary of Defense. Whether this is desirable from the President's viewpoint is a major issue. By the Secretary of Defense and the draft targeting policy - provide an unprecedented opportunity to develop such a comprehensive policy statement. However, they do not yet provide an adequate basis for the necessary decisions. There are not only gaps and important ambiguities in the proposed options, but there is no resolution of the key question of weapons acquisition policy and consequently no real tie-in with our arms control objectives. As noted previously, there are also some important subsidiary questions relating to declaratory policy and the way in which this policy should be handled with our allies. Finally, there is the question, raised in the report, as to whether this overall guidance should cover civil defense.",Highly Confidential,DISC_Security,"Reliable and timely intelligence is critical for any effective targeting policy.

I'll advise you to get an ECG and 24hr Holter monitoring done, after which only we can ascertain the diagnosis. This could also be some abnormal arrhythmia so kindly do those tests. I'll also advise you to get a 2D Echo done to rule out any possible cardiac related abnormality. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

"“aAe, [Egg 1 5] 4 y : yes co: non Han ED NG ii areas FROM: M — Bob Hopper VA at head Be ‘ (14) Subject: Possible Hill Briefing on Sanctions Legislation RELEASED related to Chinese launches of US-built Satellites , the staff director of the House Appropriations subcommittee (JCS) which funds State Department operations called late last week to inquire about the status of our implementation of the satellite provision placed once again last session by Senator Hollings into our bill (attached). He said he is getting some worried queries (probably from Subcommittee member Nancy Pelosi) that the President is getting ready to lift all sanctions on China. Osthaus said he wants a briefing on the Hollings provision so that he can answer such questions and to prepare for efforts by Hollings to reintroduce some version of the legislation. [I don't believe he is on a general fishing expedition but we should not mislead him on our approach to China if truly momentous changes are in the works. ACTION: Could you agree to meet with Osthaus Thursday or Friday of this week? I would go with you. BACKGROUND: In recent years, Senator Hollings has placed a sanction provision in our bill prohibiting export licenses to US satellites for the purpose of their being launched by China. The key issue for Hollings has been charges by US aerospace launch companies -- who have direct and frequent contact with him in his role as Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee -- that China illegally subsidizes their own launch industry and thus undercuts them in competing for this market. The Hollings provision, which supplements related existing sanctions, does allow for a presidential waiver. Both House and Senate staffers have reported hearing recent rumors that the President is seeking ""to remove"" sanctions on China and they want to know if it includes this one which is mandated in law. I think they may be confusing it with MFN related issues and unilateral executive branch actions. Note: At some point, we might want to offer a similar briefing to Senator Hollings' CJS staff.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.Your doctor has given you 3 courses of Progyluton pills. These pills regulate menstruation with rebound ovulation after withdrawing the pills after 3 months.I feel by injection he refers to IUI, if it's so, he will see for your ovulation by ovulation study or LH surge test and give IUI so that the chances of pregnancy would be the best.In spite of all precautions, it may not give positive results in the first month. In that case you may get it for few more months.Hope I have answered your query.

Within the past few days I have noticed a small lump in my armpit. It doesn t bother me other than itching constantly! I ve had two clear chest X-rays, negative ppd test and been on two rounds of antibiotics and a steroid ... What could possibly be the cause of these symptoms???

Financial and physical confirmations (with the exception of Lumber) have been predominantly automated. Financial settlements has been automated. Implemented modified versions of LISA to handle physical movements and settlements. Bridges have been built to SAP and Credit Aggregation systems. People - Ten months ago, the mid and back office had three employees, with the remaining efforts supported by Global Markets. Today, we have an enthusiastic, energetic team of 41 employees. The team includes our London office also. We continue to recruit for additional positions. Processes and Controls - Many processes and controls have been developed to ensure accurate and timely reporting of P&L and positions, confirmations and settlements. Some of these tools include: Pulp and Paper Deal Ticket (Access Database) - Ten months ago, deal tickets were generated through an Excel template and no master copy or controls were in place. Today, traders, Risk, Confirms, Settlements, Credit, Logistics, etc. can view the deal tickets in a controlled and timely manner. LISA/TAGG Reconciliation (Access Database) - When the onset of physical business and the implementation of LISA systems, physical transactions for all commodities (except lumber) are entered into 2 systems - LISA and TAGG. This tool provides a reconciliation tool that allows the Risk system and the logistics/settlements systems to stay in sync. Trader Training Tools - Two different presentations have been developed and presented to the EIM trading community to help the traders (mostly new to Enron) understand the roles and responsibilities of traders, segregation of duties and the processes within Commercial Support functions such as Credit, Tax, Legal, Operations, Logistics, etc. Sally, I hope this will give the flavor of the focused efforts. Additionally, as I have had a few hours to reflect on our conversation, I would like to follow-up with an additional meeting. I need just a bit more clarity around the EIM role, but more so, I want to move forward to discuss the new role and in your view, how I can still accomplish the successes that coincide with my personal goals.

Pap smear examination is the screening test for cervical cancer and you should go for regular screening. No need to worry. Just be relaxed. Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.Thanks for using health care magic.Wish you a very good health."

SHAH, SPEAKING FOR THE GROUP, SAID THEIR AIM HAD BEEN 1) TO LEARN IN THEIR FIELD OF PRESS AND INFORMATION HOW TO IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS SO AS TO PRODUCE MATERIAL ACCEPTABLE TO WESTERN STANDARDS AND 2) TO LET AMERICANS KNOW ABOUT AFGHANISTAN AND TO REMOVE FALSE IMPRESSIONS FOSTERED BY RUSSIA. SINCE GORBACHEV'S ASSUMPTION OF POWER, HE SAID, THE WAR HAS WORSENED. HE AND OTHERS FELT THAT RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA IS VERY STRONG. THE GROUP SAID THEY ALSO TRIED TO ASSURE AMERICANS THAT AFGHANS ARE NOT PRO-KHOMEINI, THAT THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN ARE “COMPLETELY PRESERVED"" IN THE CONTEXT OF AFGHAN CULTURE AND ISLAM, WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE WEST. THEY NOTED THAT MOST AMERICANS ARE SKEPTICAL OF REPORTS FROM THE MUJAHEEDIN BUT PROTESTED THAT THEY COVER THE WAR AS REALISTICALLY AS POSSIBLE. IN WASHINGTON THEY MENTIONED SPECIFICALLY THEIR MEETING WITH BILL MONROE, EDITOR OF THE WASHINGTON JOURNALISM REVIEW, WITH WHOM THEY WERE VERY IMPRESSED; DID NOT WANT THE MEETING TO END. THEY LEARNED A LOT FROM MEETINGS ON CAPITOL HILL WITH SENATORS GORTON, HUMPHREY AND KENNEDY ABOUT THE ATTITUDES OF VARIOUS SENATORS.

HE RECENTLY WAS ON A U.S. HUMAN RIGHTS DELEGATION TO THE SOVIET UNION AND AGREED WITH THEIR VIEWS ON THE RIGHTS SITUATION THERE. THEY HAD A GOOD SESSION WITH BOB TERRELL, SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM WHO TOLD THEM THAT WHILE IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO WRITE PROPAGANDA FOR A WHILE, IT LATER IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO WRITE TRUTH. THEY WERE ALSO ON AN HOUR-LONG LIVE TALK SHOW. A HIGH POINT OF THE TRIP WAS THE VISIT TO ESTES PARK. TO THEM IT WAS LIKE AFGHANISTAN - THE MOUNTAINS, SNOW AND COMPLETELY SELFLESS PEOPLE. IN NEW YORK THE GROUP HAD VERY POSITIVE DISCUSSIONS AT FREEDOM HOUSE, WITH LEONARD SUSSMAN AND ROSANNE KLASS, MRS. SHAW WAS ASKED TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ON WHY THE MUJAHEDDIN REJECT THE GENEVA ACCORDS, WHICH MR. SUSSMAN PROMISED TO DISTRIBUTE. THEY HAD A VERY USEFUL DISCUSSION WHICH THEY TERMED “POSITIVE CRITICISM” WITH REGARD TO THEIR WRITING, I.E., “HOW TO CONVINCE THE WESTERN READER”. (FOR EXAMPLE: “BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR ADJECTIVES"".) THEY WERE ALSO DISAPPOINTED NOT TO HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWED BY THE “NEW YORK TIMES” OR CBS. THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED, THEY SAID, IN JUST SEEING THE MACHINERY. THEY HAD A “GOOD AND USEFUL” MEETING AT THE “WALL STREET JOURNAL"" WITH GEORGE MALONE WHO, THEY SAID, LISTENED KEENLY, AND ASKED THEM ABOUT HOW THE DEATH OF ZIA WOULD AFFECT THE MUJAHEDDIN. THE NEXT STOP WAS KEENE, NEW HAMPSHIRE AND BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT. THEY WERE PLEASED THAT THE “BRATTLEBORO REFORMER” FEATURED THEM ON THE FRONT PAGE WITH A PHOTO AND LENGTHY ARTICLE TITLED “AFGHAN VISITORS DISCUSS SOVIETS"". THE EDITOR HAD RECENTLY RETURNED FROM A VISIT TO THE SOVIET UNION AND DISCUSSED WITH THEM HIS VIEWS ON GORBACHEV’S REFORMS. THEY HAD WONDERFUL HOSPITALITY IN KEENE AND BRATTLEBORO, ARRANGED BY THE EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS OF THE RESPECTIVE NEWSPAPERS. IN GENERAL, THEY SAID THEY FOUND AMERICANS OPEN-HEARTED, OPEN-MINDED AND INTERESTED. THEY NOTED ON THE PART OF AMERICANS A DEEP RESPECT FOR THE LAW, THAT THEY DO NOT INTERFERE IN OTHERS’ AFFAIRS, THAT THEY ARE DEEPLY INTERESTED IN WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AFGHANISTAN, AND THAT THE PEOPLE ARE STRAIGHTFORWARD AND DIGNIFIED.",Public,DISC_Security,"ASS!

SINCE GORBACHEV'S ASSUMPTION OF POWER, HE SAID, THE WAR HAS WORSENED. HE AND OTHERS FELT THAT RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA IS VERY STRONG. THE GROUP SAID THEY ALSO TRIED TO ASSURE AMERICANS THAT AFGHANS ARE NOT PRO-KHOMEINI, THAT THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN ARE “COMPLETELY PRESERVED"" IN THE CONTEXT OF AFGHAN CULTURE AND ISLAM, WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE WEST. THEY NOTED THAT MOST AMERICANS ARE SKEPTICAL OF REPORTS FROM THE MUJAHEEDIN BUT PROTESTED THAT THEY COVER THE WAR AS REALISTICALLY AS POSSIBLE. IN WASHINGTON THEY MENTIONED SPECIFICALLY THEIR MEETING WITH BILL MONROE, EDITOR OF THE WASHINGTON JOURNALISM REVIEW, WITH WHOM THEY WERE VERY IMPRESSED; DID NOT WANT THE MEETING TO END. THEY LEARNED A LOT FROM MEETINGS ON CAPITOL HILL WITH SENATORS GORTON, HUMPHREY AND KENNEDY ABOUT THE ATTITUDES OF VARIOUS SENATORS.

THEY HAD A WONDERFUL MEETING WITH PROFESSOR NAWWAL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER. THEY FELT WE HAD AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF INFORMATION TO SHARE AND THAT HE ASKED VERY INTERESTING QUESTIONS. HE RECENTLY WAS ON A U.S. HUMAN RIGHTS DELEGATION TO THE SOVIET UNION AND AGREED WITH THEIR VIEWS ON THE RIGHTS SITUATION THERE. THEY HAD A GOOD SESSION WITH BOB TERRELL, SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM WHO TOLD THEM THAT WHILE IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO WRITE PROPAGANDA FOR A WHILE, IT LATER IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO WRITE TRUTH. THEY WERE ALSO ON AN HOUR-LONG LIVE TALK SHOW. A HIGH POINT OF THE TRIP WAS THE VISIT TO ESTES PARK. TO THEM IT WAS LIKE AFGHANISTAN - THE MOUNTAINS, SNOW AND COMPLETELY SELFLESS PEOPLE. IN NEW YORK THE GROUP HAD VERY POSITIVE DISCUSSIONS AT FREEDOM HOUSE, WITH LEONARD SUSSMAN AND ROSANNE KLASS, MRS. SHAW WAS ASKED TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ON WHY THE MUJAHEDDIN REJECT THE GENEVA ACCORDS, WHICH MR. SUSSMAN PROMISED TO DISTRIBUTE. THEY HAD A VERY USEFUL DISCUSSION WHICH THEY TERMED “POSITIVE CRITICISM” WITH REGARD TO THEIR WRITING, I.E., “HOW TO CONVINCE THE WESTERN READER”. (FOR EXAMPLE: “BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR ADJECTIVES"".) THEY WERE ALSO DISAPPOINTED NOT TO HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWED BY THE “NEW YORK TIMES” OR CBS. THEY WERE NOT INTERESTED, THEY SAID, IN JUST SEEING THE MACHINERY. THEY HAD A “GOOD AND USEFUL” MEETING AT THE “WALL STREET JOURNAL"" WITH GEORGE MALONE WHO, THEY SAID, LISTENED KEENLY, AND ASKED THEM ABOUT HOW THE DEATH OF ZIA WOULD AFFECT THE MUJAHEDDIN. THE NEXT STOP WAS KEENE, NEW HAMPSHIRE AND BRATTLEBORO, VERMONT. THEY WERE PLEASED THAT THE “BRATTLEBORO REFORMER” FEATURED THEM ON THE FRONT PAGE WITH A PHOTO AND LENGTHY ARTICLE TITLED “AFGHAN VISITORS DISCUSS SOVIETS"". THE EDITOR HAD RECENTLY RETURNED FROM A VISIT TO THE SOVIET UNION AND DISCUSSED WITH THEM HIS VIEWS ON GORBACHEV’S REFORMS. THEY HAD WONDERFUL HOSPITALITY IN KEENE AND BRATTLEBORO, ARRANGED BY THE EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS OF THE RESPECTIVE NEWSPAPERS. IN GENERAL, THEY SAID THEY FOUND AMERICANS OPEN-HEARTED, OPEN-MINDED AND INTERESTED. THEY NOTED ON THE PART OF AMERICANS A DEEP RESPECT FOR THE LAW, THAT THEY DO NOT INTERFERE IN OTHERS’ AFFAIRS, THAT THEY ARE DEEPLY INTERESTED IN WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AFGHANISTAN, AND THAT THE PEOPLE ARE STRAIGHTFORWARD AND DIGNIFIED."

Can NHL occur without any family history? Does all left supraclavicular (Virchow's node) node is associated with lymphoma? 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,Medical_PHI_2k,"Hi doctor, What is non-Hodgkin lymphoma? What can cause NHL?

You should consult a nearby urologist for a detailed examination of a nodule and check whether it originates from skin or from the scrotum. It can be fibroma like lesion.

Anne believes that she may have been the one to introduce the term ""protocol"" into these discussions. To clarify, according to Anne, the ""protocol"" is not anticipated to be a formal legal document. Instead, Anne envisions simply e:mails or memos between Enron and AEP with regard to any sharing of information, agreements on processes to be followed in the transition, etc. Operational details to be decided between Enron and AEP have been handled exactly in that manner to date, with e:mails being sent from Bob Ball (Enron) to Steve Jackson (AEP).

Bob Hall identified the treatment of cash accounts in the original Purchase and Sale Agreement as incorrect relative to cash flows for gas to be delivered in the month of May. He has worked with Enron's treasury group to establish the correct procedures and has worked with Sandi Braband in Legal to document this change to the Purchase and Sale Agreement as an Amendment to that agreement. As of today, Legal has completed revisions to that amendment and Anne Koehler is sending it to Mary Perkins in Enron's Treasury group for her review. Upon Mary's review, Anne will forward the amendment to AEP for their review before final signatures.

Please advice for any side effect. Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. 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. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2.

The power of computers to be exported to Communist countries under the present ""easy access"" procedure shall be raised from its present level of a Processing Data Rate (PDR) of 8 million bits per second to 32 million bits per second, to be designated as the limit of the ""Special Administrative Exception"" procedure (thus ending the easy access terminology). The conditions of sale are specified in the attachment. Exports of computers exceeding this power shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and strictly limited to demonstrably peaceful applications. 2. The export of completed hardware for use as part of computer systems produced by Communist countries shall be restricted in number, performance, and presale conditions as specified in the attachment, Electromechanical peripheral equipment shall be decontrolled; spares for the equipment shall also be decontrolled, except where otherwise embargoed. Classified - Released on 07/07/96 G by O. Van Tassel, National Security Case Officer 3. The export or transfer of computer technology, production facilities, specialized programs and comprehensive programming services shall continue to be restricted. These restraints shall include those placed on the means to design, develop, and produce computers, peripheral storage devices and storage media, displays, high speed memories, and electronic components. The permitted levels for the sale of production technology for magnetic peripherals and final system configuration are specified in the attachment. Technology uniquely related to electromechanical peripheral equipment shall be decontrolled, except where such technology is otherwise embargoed. 4. The differential practiced against the People's Republic of China in computer exports shall be removed so that export restrictions against the PRC shall be identical to those applied to East European countries and the Soviet Union. The President has directed the further study of technical and administrative issues relating, in particular, to safeguard procedures and the means to control the export of technical information, training services, and software. The purpose of these studies will be to determine what measures are effective and economically feasible so that export restraints might then be appropriately modified. The President believes that a reduction in the administrative burden associated with processing license applications for computer exports is needed. Accordingly, he has directed that arrangements be worked out between the Department of Commerce and other Departments to simplify the administrative procedures for processing license applications for computers and associated equipment. The Department of Commerce shall also continue its effort to improve its internal procedures for reviewing computer license applications. The President has directed the preparation of a comprehensive U.S. position for the 1974 COCOM computer list review, including a determination of those parameters left unspecified in the attachment. This effort shall be conducted by the Economic Defense Advisory Committee and the staffs of the Council on International Economic Policy and the National Security Council. Attachment - Henry A. Kissinger J. Lanigan because of the large numbers of transactions involved and the time required for the individual governments to process the information. It will be applied to exports of equipment and technology controlled by the COCOM International List and the U.S. Commerce Control List. The modification to the present end-use/end-user conditions would provide for the purchaser or end-user to agree to report in the future to the exporting government any material and substantive changes in the facts presented in the export request and to provide to the exporting government information on the ultimate end-use/end-user of the exported equipment or technology. The agreement would be in the form of a statement signed by the purchaser or end-user (Form FC-842). Level II - A modification of the present end-use/end-user conditions when considering sales of production quantities of products and for the disposition of products produced with Western licensed production technology to provide for prior government approval of the ultimate end-use/end-user. This modification is necessary in many instances because of the large numbers of transactions involved and the time required for the individual governments to process the information. It will be applied to exports of equipment and technology controlled by the COCOM International List and the U.S. Commerce Control List. The modification to the present end-use/end-user conditions would provide for the purchaser or end-user to agree to report in the future to the exporting government any material and substantive changes in the facts presented in the export request and to obtain prior written approval of the exporting government for any change in the ultimate end-use/end-user of the exported equipment or technology. The agreement would be in the form of a statement signed by the purchaser or end-user (Form FC-842). Since the original shipments are made to a Communist plant under a general assurance of non-strategic use and only at the time of shipment to the ultimate destination, can specific end-use/end-user be provided to the licensing government (see the present ad hoc procedures for handling OEM exports). Level 11 - The present U.S. requirement for the purchaser or end-user to provide more complete and detailed end-use/end-user information for assessing requests for exports under the exceptions procedure (see the ACEP Interpretation 1). Although there is no formal requirement in COCOM to provide this additional information, the UK has agreed on a bilateral basis to provide this information for their exceptional cases, Level IIa - This is a new proposal which requires, in addition to the information provided in II above, the submission to COCOM by the licensing government of a signed statement by the Communist importing agency or end-user providing assurance of peaceful end-use, the right of access to the computer facility and the assumption of the responsibility to report any significant change to the facts presented (see Form FC-842). Level IIb - A modification of the end-use/end-user conditions of II above for Communist produced computers using equipment imported from the West or produced from Western production technology. Also included is a signed statement from the importing agency or production facility providing assurances of peaceful end-use, the right of access to the production facility and the assumption of the responsibilities to report any significant change to the facts presented, IV - Post-Sale Safeguards Level I A - The end-user granting Western representatives of the vendor the right of free access to the computer facility and providing information on the utilization of the computer. B - Monthly visits (quarterly for lower performance computers in this range) by Western representatives of the vendor to assess that the computer is still being used for the approved purposes and that it has not been moved from the authorized location. C - The vendor submitting reports on the results of their periodic visits to the appropriate licensing authorities. V - Sale of Production Technology Exports of technology, including transfer of skills and data, necessary for fabrication, assembly and check-out of equipment of performance given in the Table under Sale of Production Technology are permitted provided certain conditions* are satisfied.

They performed ERCP to remove the stone but after procedure doctors said they could not find any stone. They put a plastic stent in my bile duct.

Low AF volume has many causes, from low production to fluid loss due to rupture of the membranes. Since you are fine and did not report fluid loss from your genitalia we can dismiss that as a probable cause. Next we must consider low production due to kidney absence or malformations but that do not seem to be case either. Another cause is placental insuficiency but the baby is doing fine and growing as expected for a normal pregnancy. Being that said I would mention a seldom considered cause, that is, poor maternal hydration.

I have been experiencing symptoms of depression for the last two years and I do not know what to do. I do not want to get my family involved unless I know anything for sure and I do not even know if I have depression. I have not had any bad experiences that would have affected me enough to make me depressed and my family does not have a history of mental illness, which is what makes me waver. I feel numb, sad and worthless most of the time. I have found myself becoming more and more irritable and spending more and more time alone.

I have been experiencing symptoms of depression for the last two years and I do not know what to do. I do not want to get my family involved unless I know anything for sure and I do not even know if I have depression. I have not had any bad experiences that would have affected me enough to make me depressed and my family does not have a history of mental illness, which is what makes me waver.

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 have been advised to reduce to 60mg a day for a week then 30mg for a week, then stop. I am experiencing severe agitation, crying for no reason, overly sensitive and overall fatigue and just feel horrible and more depressed. Is this normal? Greetings !Welcome to the site.Well, no this is not normal as it seems like you are still reeling under the depressive cognition and Cymbalta after 1 year long use has become ineffective owing to increased tolerance/ resistance that your body must have developed against it.So while I support the idea of bringing you off Cymbalta but the weaning strategy can be improved by first bringing you down to 60 mg dose and after 1 week further down to 40 mg dose / day and then after 1 week down to 20 mg / day dose and then after 1 week taking 20 mg dose every alternate day for another week and then stopping the drug completely. This slow tapering of the dose is essential to prevent development of withdrawal syndrome which can further worsen the condition.Also alongside the withdrawal of Cymbalta there is a need to replace it with another anti depressant which can be done by introducing Lexapro ( generic name -- escitalopram ) at dose of 5 mg / day in the morning when you have reduced Cymbalta to 20 mg / day regular dosing. This process of introducing a new drug while discontinuing the older one is called as Cross- titration, kindly discuss about this with your doctor.After 1 week of being on 5 mg dose / day the dose can raised to 10 mg and then after 2 weeks further up the dose to 20 mg /day as per the discretion of your doctor.I am hopeful that such sort of replacement of the current Cymbalta with Lexapro will prove to be useful in bringing you out of the clutches of depression which is present at the moment.I hope this helps.Regards.",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"I was on Cymbalta for about a year at 90mg and experiencing severe loss of appetite and nausea, last few weeks.

She had it checked out by the doctor who said it wasn't a problem and gave her antibiotics. However it is still there and has started to become painful now. I am worried as to what it can be...any suggestions? welcome to Health care magic.1.Most common lesions / lumps in the neck are lymph nodal enlargement.2.The lymph nodal enlargement is seen after some inflammation / infection, and underlying systemic diseases and malignancies.3.I would suggest you to see your doctor and get an ultrasound scan neck done, to confirm that its lymph node or some thing else ( lipomas, vascular lesion)4.It will also help to make out where the lesion is extending from.5.A FNAC needs for confirmation ( fine needle aspiration cytology)6.Better to get evaluated as soon as possible before it get complicated.Hope it helps you.

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.

SUBJECT: Sino-US Talks - Press Photographs for 136th Meeting REF: WARSAW 286; STATE 19458 1. I called CH'IEN at 1125 February 12 and said that the US would like to agree to press requests for photographs at the 136th meeting, but that because the facilities in our two embassies are not the same, we were thinking of allowing photographs in the lobby as the Chinese delegation entered. I explained that the Ambassador would greet the delegation, and after the delegations had greeted each other, they would proceed upstairs where the press would not be allowed to take pictures. CH'IEN asked if this meant that there would be no seating for the press. I confirmed and said that we would like a Chinese response. 2. CH'IEN promised to report to the Chargé and call back. He did so at 1445 February 13, saying that he was calling under instructions to say that the Chinese agreed to our arrangements. I repeated the description of the arrangements. 3.

It's as though a tooth should be coming through but there isn't one there, it just looks red and sore. When her other teeth came through they didn't look like that. Hi.Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.....As per your complain it seems that the open sore area over the gum behind the newly erupted milk tooth can be most probably due to the other tooth that might be going to erupt in the due course of time and the gum might be tearing to let the tooth erupt..Do not worry, you can apply a numbing gel over the sore but be precise to apply a very small quantity that too only on the sore but only after clinically getting her evaluated by a Paediatric dentist..You can also do cool compresses over it..Feed with cool milk..Hope this information helps..Thanks and regards..Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?

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.

I am 5 7 , 180 lbs, I have been walking a mile to 2 a day about 4 days a week minimal. I have begun having rapid heart rate, tachycardia, upon exertion. I don t break out in a sweat or get nauseated, haven t really had arm or shoulder pain, but I do get tight in my chest, and minor shortness of breath. I can sit, and it goes away, until I exert again. 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.

"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.

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.

"Hello doctor, I chipped my front tooth two days ago. 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.

Since last one year he is suffering from renal problem. At this point in time his creatinen is 9.9 and urea 131. He tried many different medicines allopathic, homeopathic etc for a year but couldn’t find any improvement. He is on homo dialysis since the start of this month (June 2011) which happens twice a week and is now increased to thrice a week. He goes through the dialysis through the temporary Cathe while he went through a fistula surgery for the dialysis last Tuesday (21st June) which is now not working. I am worried about the infection in the temp cathe. . .Please Advise. These days the major issue he is facing is the shortness of breath I would like to mention here that his Hemoglobin is dangerously low. (5.9 According to the reports on 27th June, 2011), While it was 6.5 on the 1st of this month. The agony is that he had two RBC transfusions between the two tests still his hemoglobin is falling this way. Now after the last results i.e. 27th June he had another transfusion of whole blood on 28th and had an injection for Hemoglobin (Mircera 200mg) on the 29th now today on 30th he’ll have another RBC transfusion of RBC and then on the next dialysis which is scheduled on Saturday the third one. This way he’ll have 5 blood transfusions 4 RBC’s and 1 whole blood. Please guide regarding hemoglobin and the temp cathe, permanent cathe, fistula options. Currently he is under the temp cathe and had 1 failed fistula surgery too. Awaiting an earliest reply. Jazakallah khair. June 30, 2011 walaikum wassalam. First of all it is important for you to know the condition of the patient and the diagnosis as patient has a complex of diseases. Patient has hypertension induced Renal failure and hypertension induced heart failure. The reports suggest that patient has advance renal failure and the residual function of kidney is less than 10 %. As you have mentioned that the main problem of the patient is shortness of breath. the causes of shortness of breath are as follow: A) As the patient has an HB of 5.5 which is of course dangerously low. This low haemoglobin is due to non functioning kidneys. Basically the chemical that causes blood formation in the bone marrown is derived from thekidneys. When kidneys lose its function the blood formation reduces significantly which cause Anemia(low Hb). This low HB results in shortness of breath because of the low oxygen carrying capacity of the blood to deliver oxygen to the body tissues. B) Heart failure is another cause of the shortness of breath. Heart functions as a pump that pushes the blood towards the tissue. Decline in heart function leads to Inadequate supply of blood to the tissue which cause shortness of breath and also the blood starts to pool in the peripheral tissues like lungs that also causes shortness of breath. C) Ureamia; patient has a significantly elevated urea and creatinine levels that shows that toxins have not properly eliminated from the body. These toxins in turn virtually disrupt function of every organ of the body. At this particular point of time the most suitable and life saving treatment is of course Haemodialysis. Three times a week is one of the best regimens along side the concomitant treatment for Hypertension and heart failure. Regarding low HB the most suitable treatment would be ESPOGEN( recombinant erythropoietin). This is the chemical that induces blood formation as mentioned earlier on. Patient is already taking it. If economically feasible it would be best if 2000 units be given twice a week subcutaneously. It will have significant impact on both low HB and Shortness of breath. Regarding the catheters it's necessary to know that long term dialysis needs fistula. The dual lumen catheters have a high chance of bacterial infection and are thus used as a temporary bridge to fistula. Formation of fistula to until it works takes up to 2 months. Central venous catheter( used as a bridge to fistula) have two varieties; 1) the first variety are temporary catheters that passed directly to central veins and are thus easy to use but have high rate of infection and less half life. 2) Permanent catheters that are passed into the central veins via a tunnel in the skin. The chances of infection are low and half life is more but these require high skill to pass and are costly. Thus if the patient has already one failed surgery procedure, it's better to use a permanent Catheter(the second variety) and then try for a second fistula surgery and if the surgery gets successful then remove catheter and proceed further with fistula. I hope you find this helpful. regards.Dr.Abdur Rehman Alozai.",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"AOA, My father aged 63 weight 69 height 6feet now is suffering from hypertension since last 25+years and is also a heart patient since 1998.

USAID Director, using his waiver authority, now requires evidence of Cambodian good faith before releasing funds for equipment aid, including police assistance, will receive close scrutiny under the decision by the Administrator. 3. Korea: The program consists of only one man; however, a reassessment of the nature of U.S. assistance to the Korean National Police will be made when elections are completed and the nature of the new government is determined. 4.

His mood has improved, but he has become very tired. He does take it at night. I will talk to his DR that prescribed it but am concerned what other antidepressants are available for teens. Most literature I read does not advise most antidepressants for teens. Hi,I read your query and can understand your concern regarding adverse effects of antidepressants on your son. Your son has shown improvement on prozac (fluoxetine), although, he still seems only partially improved. First of all, regarding your concern about anti-depressants in teens, SSRIs like Fluoxetine, escitalopram and sertraline are actually safe enough options. They help in overcoming the symptoms of depression in adolescents very well and are actually recommended. After all, you won't want your son to continue feeling depressed. Regarding your son's current set of symptoms, he can be started on some kind of non-pharmacological treatment like Cognitive behavior therapy if someone in your area is qualified enough for that. He can be taught relaxation exercises. Alternatively, dose of fluoxetine can be increased further.Wishing your son speedy recovery.",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"My son just turned 17 a week ago.

My doctor has advised Letoval for 5 days starting from the 2nd day of the menstural cycle. I would like to understand how far does this medicine help in conciving... Hi,Yes, it does help in conceiving. Aromatase is an enzyme responsible for the production of estrogen from androgen in the body. Letoval works by inhibiting aromatase thereby suppressing estrogen production this results in release of gonadotropins (FSH and LH) from pituitary gland. These hormones can cause release of eggs from the ovaries in women suffering from PCOD thus increasing the chances of pregnancy hence they are found to be useful in the treatment of infertility.Hope I have answered your query.

Dear Ma'am,Sorry to hear about your problem. The breast ultrasound report appears to be absolutely normal. The pimple which you have described under the armpit (axilla) is probably an infected sebaceous cyst (infection of the hair follicle) and will subside with time. If it is inflamed and not settling, you can take a course of antibiotic. There are no symptoms suggestive of cancer but you should continue to do breast self examination regularly.Hoping for the best.

Romualdez stated the Philippine Embassy in Washington has not been made aware of the impending visit. Mrs. Marcos, who will be returning to Manila from the Iranian 25th centennial celebrations, also plans to visit her son, Ferdinand, Jr., in London, and will be a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford, II, in Detroit. Mrs. Marcos made her last unofficial visit to Washington in September, 1970, at which time the President offered her the use of Blair House. Because of renovations to Blair House, however, Mrs. Marcos stayed in a hotel as a guest of the U.S. Government.

Attachment: Draft Amended Loan Authorization AID-DLC/P-56/8 Nov. 27, 1974 AFGHANISTAN KAJAKAI HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT Amendment III I. Introduction A. Project History 1. The Government of Afghanistan, with Da Afghanistan Breshna Moassessa (ABM), the Afghanistan Electric Power Authority, as the ultimate recipient, is carrying out the Kajakai Hydroelectric Project in the Kandahar-Girishk area in the Helmand-Arghandab Valley, Afghanistan. 2. The project consists of (1) a 33-megawatt (MW) hydro- electric generating plant; (2) 133 miles of 110 KV trans- mission lines; (3) three substations; and (4) a training program. The generating plant is financed by A.I.D. Loan 306-H-013, as amended. The transmission lines are financed by A.I.D. Loan 305-W-018, as amended. The other parts of the project are also financed by Loan 306-H-013, as amended. 3. The project was undertaken as a result of an A.I.D.- financed survey of the electric power requirements of the Helmand-Arghandab Valley, made by a U.S. engineering firm in 1965 and updated in 1967, which recommended that the Kajakai site be used for a hydroelectric generating plant. 4. The project was originally authorized by the Administrator on January 21, 1970, in the amount of $12.0 million. This amount was subsequently amended twice to add $2.0 million and $7.5 million, for a total of $21.5 million. The project is now estimated to cost $22.5 million. The present amendment will increase the amount of Loan 305-W-018 by $2.0 million, to a total of $9.5 million. B. Purpose of this CAP Amendment The purpose of this CAP amendment is to finance the increased dollar cost of constructing 133 miles of 110 KV transmission lines and three substations. The project is being carried out pursuant to Section 214 (a) (1) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, and the loan is being made pursuant to Section 221 (a) of the Act. The amendment meets the criteria of Section 102, P.L. 93-189. AID-DLC/P-56/8 Nov. 27, 1974 AFGHANISTAN KAJAKAI HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT Amendment III II. The Project A. Project Area 1. The project is located in the Kandahar-Girishk area in the Helmand-Arghandab Valley, Afghanistan. 2. The project area is in a region of relatively high economic activity, with a population of about 500,000, and is served by the Kandahar-Girishk Electric Power System, which is owned by the Government of Afghanistan. The system is now operating at maximum capacity, which is insufficient to meet the needs of the area. B. Description of the Kajakai Hydroelectric Project 1. The generating plant is located on the Arghandab River at the Kajakai site, about 50 miles northwest of Kandahar. The plant will have an installed capacity of 33 MW and will be equipped with two 16.5 MW turbines, each with its own genera- tor. The turbines will be supplied by Sulzer Brothers, Ltd., of Switzerland, and the generators by Brown Boveri & Co., Ltd., of Switzerland. The turbines and generators are already in Afghanistan. The plant is expected to be completed in 1976. 2. The transmission system will consist of 133 miles of 110 KV transmission lines and three substations. The lines will be constructed by the Government of Afghanistan and will be interconnected with the existing system. The substations will be constructed by the Government of Afghanistan and will be equipped with equipment supplied by Brown Boveri & Co., Ltd., of Switzerland. The substations are expected to be completed in 1976. C. Status of the Kajakai Transmission System 1. The detailed engineering design of the transmission system has been completed, and the construction of the system has been started. 2. The transmission system is expected to be completed in 1976. D. Transmission System Cost Estimates 1. The total cost of the transmission system, including the substations, is estimated at $3.0 million. This amount is being financed by A.I.D. Loan 305-W-018, as amended. 2. The cost of the transmission system has increased by $2.0 million, from $1.0 million to $3.0 million. This increase is the result of a rise in the cost of construction materials and equipment. The cost of the transmission system is now estimated to be $3.0 million. AID-DLC/P-56/8 Nov. 27, 1974 AFGHANISTAN KAJAKAI HYDROELECTRIC POWER PLANT Amendment III E. Status of Facilities and Services Ancillary to the Project 1. The project is expected to have a favorable impact on the economy of the Kandahar-Girishk area in the Helmand-Arghandab Valley. The project will provide additional electric power to the area, which will result in increased industrial and agricultural production and improved public services. The project is also expected to provide employment opportunities for Afghans during construction and operation of the project. 2. The project will also have a favorable impact on the U.S. economy. The project will provide employment opportunities for U.S. citizens, who will be involved in the engineering, procurement, and construction of the project. The project will also provide employment opportunities for U.S. citizens who will be involved in the design, production, and delivery of the turbines and generators. III. The Borrower and Implementing Agency A. The Borrower is the Government of Afghanistan. B. The Implementing Agency is Da Afghanistan Breshna Moassessa (ABM), the Afghanistan Electric Power Authority. IV. Economic Aspects 1. The project is expected to have a favorable impact on the economy of the Kandahar-Girishk area in the Helmand-A have to be borne by the ABM. MT also be for the account of ABM. An obvious question which arises is why the added cost of the transmission system is not assumed by the Government of Afghanistan in accord with the standard provision in Loan Agreement No. 306-W-013 which places the responsibility on the Borrower for providing additional funds as needed to complete the project. In addition to the GOA's foreign exchange budget constraints, we are faced with a problem of timing: If negotiated contract prices are to be held, financing arrangements must be firm and the construction contract signed not later than November 30, 1974. This date is crucial in that it represents the expiry of vendors' price obligations to the contractor. Failing execution of a contract now will assuredly lead to even higher costs in a subsequent bidding or negotiating round and further delay in completion of an operable system would be inevitable. The GOA has demonstrated time and again its inability to react effectively to unanticipated financing needs. The conclusion is therefore inescapable that if the Fajaka1 Hydroelectric Project is to be brought to beneficial operation without inordinate delay and further cost increases, Loan No. 306- W-018 must be supplemented by an amount which will permit signing of the transmission system construction contract by November 30, 1974. At the same time, we will have a clear understanding with the GOA that escalation during the performance of the contract will be for the account of the Borrower and suitable provisions must be made in the GOA budgeting process. That understanding will be included in detail in the amended Loan Agreement covering the additional $2,000,000. MT. The Project A. Project Area A detailed description of the Project Area, its geography and historical background is contained in the original CAP and the prior two Amendments. B. Description of the Kajakai Hydroelectric Project A Power Plant now under construction which consists of two 16.5 MW hydroelectric generating units and step-up substation installed at the base of the existing Kajakai Dam. The contractor, Fischbach-Oman International (FOI), is providing general construction services, related materials and equipment, and is installing the major power plant equipment purchased by ABM. Completion of the plant is expected by midsummer 1975, a date that appears realistic since the construction work is going well-- the plant is 85% complete, only three months behind the original schedule. A Transmission System yet to be constructed which will consist of 133 miles of 110 KV transmission lines together with a substation at Kandahar and two at Lashkar Gah to step down the voltage to 13.2 KV, 44 KV and 3.3 KV, respectively. During final design and contract negotiations certain minor changes were made in the transmission system from that described in CAP Amendment I. The total transmission line mileage was reduced slightly, 16 miles of 44 KV line were upgraded in capacity to 110 KV, and the substation at Midway was relocated at Lashkar Gah. These changes will simplify system control, communications, repairs and spare parts handling at no significant additional cost. The transmission system will be constructed by the U.S. firm of Fischbach & Moore International (FMI), who will be responsible for purchasing, shipping and installing all materials. For carrying the power lines, the contractor will use concrete poles manufactured at a plant he will provide in Afghanistan. The pole plant will be turned over to ABM in operating condition upon completion of construction. Further engineering and other details are covered in the original CAP and the two previous CAP Amendments. C. Status of the Kajakai Transmission System The consulting engineer, IECO, has completed the design of the transmission system, prepared plan and profile sheets, and commenced staking of transmission line structure locations. IECO prepared technical specifications for the transmission line materials and equipment, which were submitted to and approved by ABM. The materials and equipment are being purchased by the contractor, FMI, and are being shipped to Afghanistan. The construction of the transmission system is expected to be completed by midsummer 1975. Specifications and bidding documents for the equipment and construction services required to construct the entire transmission system were prepared and released for bidding. These documents, along with the tenders received on September 30, 1974 from each respective bidder, formed the basis for contract negotiations that began on October 14, 1974. The negotiated contract stipulated that the construction contractor would start work on the project no later than January 1975, with an estimated completion date of June 1977. The results of the contract negotiations are discussed in sub-paragraph D below. D. Transmission System Cost Estimates The final contract amount negotiated with Fischbach & Moore International (FMI) is as follows: Foreign Exchange Local Currency Equiv. $ (Afghanis 65 = U.S.$1) Total $8,140,000 $2,700,000 $10,840,000 The contract includes an escalation provision, which requires the contractor to absorb the first 6% of any cost increases, with ABN absorbing the remaining balance. The escalation formula is tied to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Metals and Metal Products index, which was at a value of 187 in October 1974. Based on projected increases in the index and the escalation provision in the contract, the total contract amount including escalation would be as follows: Foreign Exchange Local Currency Equiv. $ (Afghanis 65 = U.S.$1) Total $9,000,000 $3,000,000 $12,009,060 Allowing for a 10% contingency, the total estimated contract cost upon completion of the project is as follows: Foreign Exchange Local Currency Equiv. $ (Afghanis 65 = U.S.$1) Total $3,900,000 $3,300,000 $13,200,000 This brings the total estimated foreign exchange requirement to $9,900,000, which is $900,000 over the amount made available for the contract by Loan -018 ($7,000,000) and the proposed increase ($2,000,000). The GOA will provide the additional $900,000. In accordance with FAA Section 110, which requires the recipient country to provide at least 25% of the project costs, the effect of the loan amendment is as follows: This Amendment- In U.S. Dollar Equivalent Foreign Exchange Local Currency Total AID Contribution $2,000,960 -0- $2,009,000 GOA Contribution $900,006 $1,300,900 $2,200,000 Total $4,260,000 GOA Percent of Total: 52.4% Total Transmission Line Project- (Loan -018 as amended)=' AID Contribution Transmission ($3,600,000) -Q- G Engineering & Training ($500,000) -6- GOA Contribution Transmission ($990,000) $3,300,000 Engineering & Training -0- ($500,000) $4,300,000 Total $14,300,000 GOA Percent of Total: 33.6% Note: The above figures do not include the $500,000 for engineering and training. E. Status of Facilities and Services Ancillary to the Project 1. Distribution System The distribution systems in the load centers of Kandahar and Lashkar Gah are not part of the AID-financed Kajakai Project. However, an adequate distribution system is essential to the success of the project and was discussed in detail in the original CAP and the two previous CAP Amendments. It is expected that during the first three years of project operation, the distribution system will be capable of handling the requirements of the customers in the service area for which the Kajakai Project was designed. However, expansion of distribution facilities may be necessary after that time. 2. Kajakai Dam The Kajakai Dam on the Helmand River, which is the site of the power plant construction described above, is a rockfill dam with an ungated spillway and a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 1,495,000 acre feet. The dam was completed in 1953 by Morrison-Knudsen Afghanistan, Inc., at a cost of $12,545,000 with Export-Import Bank financing.

The conclusion is therefore inescapable that if the Fajaka1 Hydroelectric Project is to be brought to beneficial operation without inordinate delay and further cost increases, Loan No. 306- W-018 must be supplemented by an amount which will permit signing of the transmission system construction contract by November 30, 1974. At the same time, we will have a clear understanding with the GOA that escalation during the performance of the contract will be for the account of the Borrower and suitable provisions must be made in the GOA budgeting process. That understanding will be included in detail in the amended Loan Agreement covering the additional $2,000,000. MT. The Project A. Project Area A detailed description of the Project Area, its geography and historical background is contained in the original CAP and the prior two Amendments. B. Description of the Kajakai Hydroelectric Project A Power Plant now under construction which consists of two 16.5 MW hydroelectric generating units and step-up substation installed at the base of the existing Kajakai Dam. The contractor, Fischbach-Oman International (FOI), is providing general construction services, related materials and equipment, and is installing the major power plant equipment purchased by ABM. Completion of the plant is expected by midsummer 1975, a date that appears realistic since the construction work is going well-- the plant is 85% complete, only three months behind the original schedule. A Transmission System yet to be constructed which will consist of 133 miles of 110 KV transmission lines together with a substation at Kandahar and two at Lashkar Gah to step down the voltage to 13.2 KV, 44 KV and 3.3 KV, respectively. During final design and contract negotiations certain minor changes were made in the transmission system from that described in CAP Amendment I. The total transmission line mileage was reduced slightly, 16 miles of 44 KV line were upgraded in capacity to 110 KV, and the substation at Midway was relocated at Lashkar Gah. These changes will simplify system control, communications, repairs and spare parts handling at no significant additional cost. The transmission system will be constructed by the U.S. firm of Fischbach & Moore International (FMI), who will be responsible for purchasing, shipping and installing all materials. For carrying the power lines, the contractor will use concrete poles manufactured at a plant he will provide in Afghanistan. The pole plant will be turned over to ABM in operating condition upon completion of construction. Further engineering and other details are covered in the original CAP and the two previous CAP Amendments. C. Status of the Kajakai Transmission System The consulting engineer, IECO, has completed the design of the transmission system, prepared plan and profile sheets, and commenced staking of transmission line structure locations. IECO prepared technical specifications for the transmission line materials and equipment, which were submitted to and approved by ABM. The materials and equipment are being purchased by the contractor, FMI, and are being shipped to Afghanistan. The construction of the transmission system is expected to be completed by midsummer 1975. Specifications and bidding documents for the equipment and construction services required to construct the entire transmission system were prepared and released for bidding. These documents, along with the tenders received on September 30, 1974 from each respective bidder, formed the basis for contract negotiations that began on October 14, 1974. The negotiated contract stipulated that the construction contractor would start work on the project no later than January 1975, with an estimated completion date of June 1977. The results of the contract negotiations are discussed in sub-paragraph D below. D. Transmission System Cost Estimates The final contract amount negotiated with Fischbach & Moore International (FMI) is as follows: Foreign Exchange Local Currency Equiv. $ (Afghanis 65 = U.S.$1) Total $8,140,000 $2,700,000 $10,840,000 The contract includes an escalation provision, which requires the contractor to absorb the first 6% of any cost increases, with ABN absorbing the remaining balance. The escalation formula is tied to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Metals and Metal Products index, which was at a value of 187 in October 1974. Based on projected increases in the index and the escalation provision in the contract, the total contract amount including escalation would be as follows: Foreign Exchange Local Currency Equiv. $ (Afghanis 65 = U.S.$1) Total $9,000,000 $3,000,000 $12,009,060 Allowing for a 10% contingency, the total estimated contract cost upon completion of the project is as follows: Foreign Exchange Local Currency Equiv. $ (Afghanis 65 = U.S.$1) Total $3,900,000 $3,300,000 $13,200,000 This brings the total estimated foreign exchange requirement to $9,900,000, which is $900,000 over the amount made available for the contract by Loan -018 ($7,000,000) and the proposed increase ($2,000,000). The GOA will provide the additional $900,000. In accordance with FAA Section 110, which requires the recipient country to provide at least 25% of the project costs, the effect of the loan amendment is as follows: This Amendment- In U.S. Dollar Equivalent Foreign Exchange Local Currency Total AID Contribution $2,000,960 -0- $2,009,000 GOA Contribution $900,006 $1,300,900 $2,200,000 Total $4,260,000 GOA Percent of Total: 52.4% Total Transmission Line Project- (Loan -018 as amended)=' AID Contribution Transmission ($3,600,000) -Q- G Engineering & Training ($500,000) -6- GOA Contribution Transmission ($990,000) $3,300,000 Engineering & Training -0- ($500,000) $4,300,000 Total $14,300,000 GOA Percent of Total: 33.6% Note: The above figures do not include the $500,000 for engineering and training. E. Status of Facilities and Services Ancillary to the Project 1. Distribution System The distribution systems in the load centers of Kandahar and Lashkar Gah are not part of the AID-financed Kajakai Project. However, an adequate distribution system is essential to the success of the project and was discussed in detail in the original CAP and the two previous CAP Amendments. It is expected that during the first three years of project operation, the distribution system will be capable of handling the requirements of the customers in the service area for which the Kajakai Project was designed. However, expansion of distribution facilities may be necessary after that time. 2. Kajakai Dam The Kajakai Dam on the Helmand River, which is the site of the power plant construction described above, is a rockfill dam with an ungated spillway and a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 1,495,000 acre feet. The dam was completed in 1953 by Morrison-Knudsen Afghanistan, Inc., at a cost of $12,545,000 with Export-Import Bank financing.

"Defense Research Comment Soviet Troop Morale in Afghanistan (U) PINON Reo bb And cite ""as well as the NSN PN ISLES I ep NINO PERU RSME NO RNR OREN BY- OV- CH28 3G. The nature of the insurgency environment in Afghanistan can be viewed as a factor which probably aggravates morale and disciplinary problems. The extreme climatic and terrain conditions present in Afghanistan certainly call for very different approaches to the normal daily routine of the Soviet soldier and impact considerably on his performance. Newly arrived conscripts complain of acclimatization difficulties and of the lack of appropriate clothing and footwear for the rugged terrain. A degree of uncertainty is present for the Soviet soldier in Afghanistan at all times, for he is not fighting the conventional enemy that he has been indoctrinated to expect. The hit-and-run, ambush tactics of the Mujahideen force the Soviet troops to exercise increased vigilance, to expect the unexpected. The 40th Army in Afghanistan is performing a mission quite different from the mechanized warfare the Soviet Armed Forces are structured and trained for, and it has been slow in adapting to the Afghan environment. Moscow has also been slow in correcting its counterinsurgency shortcomings. As a result, many problems persist, and one of these is the unsuitability of the Soviet conscript for counterinsurgency warfare. According to various reports, the stariki practices in the Soviet Armed Forces carried to extremes are the basis for much of the antagonism and physical abuse experienced by the young recruits in Afghanistan. It is common, for example, for senior conscripts (the stariki), regardless of rank, to subjugate newly arrived soldiers. The conscripts see the main purpose of the daily morning inspections as a means to oppress the rookie soldiers. Only the recruits are hard at work during a typical day in garrison, taking care of the older soldiers' trucks and equipment, bringing them cigarettes and drinking water. Failure to please the stariki can result in swift retribution and physical abuse. Ethnic differences appear to generate some problems and antagonism among the Soviet troops in Afghanistan. Reports indicate that the Russians, Belorussians, and Ukrainians, who dominate the officer corps, feel superior to the other nationalities, especially the Central Asians. This in part may be made worse in Afghanistan as a result of the close ethnic, cultural, religious, and linguistic affinity of the Uzbeks and Tadzhiks to the local population. There is evidence to suggest that nationality cliques are formed in the units, resulting in rivalry and arguments between the groups. Many of the ordinary Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan have only one thought, that is to stay alive.

The nature of the insurgency environment in Afghanistan can be viewed as a factor which probably aggravates morale and disciplinary problems. The extreme climatic and terrain conditions present in Afghanistan certainly call for very different approaches to the normal daily routine of the Soviet soldier and impact considerably on his performance. Newly arrived conscripts complain of acclimatization difficulties and of the lack of appropriate clothing and footwear for the rugged terrain. A degree of uncertainty is present for the Soviet soldier in Afghanistan at all times, for he is not fighting the conventional enemy that he has been indoctrinated to expect. The hit-and-run, ambush tactics of the Mujahideen force the Soviet troops to exercise increased vigilance, to expect the unexpected. The 40th Army in Afghanistan is performing a mission quite different from the mechanized warfare the Soviet Armed Forces are structured and trained for, and it has been slow in adapting to the Afghan environment. Moscow has also been slow in correcting its counterinsurgency shortcomings. As a result, many problems persist, and one of these is the unsuitability of the Soviet conscript for counterinsurgency warfare. According to various reports, the stariki practices in the Soviet Armed Forces carried to extremes are the basis for much of the antagonism and physical abuse experienced by the young recruits in Afghanistan. It is common, for example, for senior conscripts (the stariki), regardless of rank, to subjugate newly arrived soldiers. The conscripts see the main purpose of the daily morning inspections as a means to oppress the rookie soldiers. Only the recruits are hard at work during a typical day in garrison, taking care of the older soldiers' trucks and equipment, bringing them cigarettes and drinking water. Failure to please the stariki can result in swift retribution and physical abuse. Ethnic differences appear to generate some problems and antagonism among the Soviet troops in Afghanistan. Reports indicate that the Russians, Belorussians, and Ukrainians, who dominate the officer corps, feel superior to the other nationalities, especially the Central Asians. This in part may be made worse in Afghanistan as a result of the close ethnic, cultural, religious, and linguistic affinity of the Uzbeks and Tadzhiks to the local population. There is evidence to suggest that nationality cliques are formed in the units, resulting in rivalry and arguments between the groups. Many of the ordinary Soviet soldiers in Afghanistan have only one thought, that is to stay alive. It interests them little that they are killing the Mujahideen and Afghan population, for their main objectives are to save themselves, to be demobilized, and return home to the Soviet Union.

"ina Through 1965,” now in preparation. DISCUSSION 1. THE SITUATION ON THE MAINLAND 5. After a decade of extreme effort exacted from the Chinese people, food shortages con- tinue to be acute and the Chinese Communist regime has had to admit major economic fail- ures. Public dissatisfaction and demoraliza- tion have become widespread, and morale and discipline among local officials and lower level party cadres have declined. However, this dis- affection is characterized by apathy rather than by active resistance on any significant scale. Although actual uprisings have been reported, these have taken place primarily in minority areas, especially in western China. With the exception of Tibet, there is no evi- dence that these uprisings have lasted long, that they involved significant proportions of the population, or that they were more than local affairs. Food riots have been reported in a number of localities, but they were quickly put down and did not expand into an actual resistance effort. 6. The regime’s control apparatus—the party and the armed forces—is still intact and effective. A preferential standard of living and intensive political indoctrination have kept army discipline relatively high. How- ever, troops have not been entirely isolated from the suffering of the civilian population or the disillusionment and dissatisfaction which this has produced. Also there are re- ports of serious and demoralizing corruption among cadres and rear service personnel in the distribution of food and supplies. We be- lieve that privation and dissatisfaction within the armed forces and among party cadres must go well beyond anything experienced up to now before a serious threat to the regime *The situation in Communist China will be ana- lyzed in detail in NIE 13-62, “Communist China Through 1965,” now in preparation. ina,"" now scheduled for 18 April 1962. is likely to emerge. Thus far we can perceive no imminent danger to internal stability. 7. Public morale in Communist China is low and will remain low so long as the present economic slump continues. Until the winter wheat is harvested in late spring, Peiping will face a situation of deepening crisis. Another poor harvest would further lower morale and increase demonstrations of open dissatisfaction and localized incidents of violent opposition to the regime. However, present indications are that the regime will continue to be able to isolate and repress any likely internal challenges to its authority. 14. GRC INTENTIONS AND CAPABILITIES 8. The goal of the leaders of the GRC, particularly Chiang Kai-shek, is, and has always been, to re-establish their rule over all China. Their pervading fear and overriding concern is that the US may now be drifting toward a ""two-Chinas"" policy. At the same time, the hopes of the GRC leaders have been greatly buoyed up by the acute economic difficulties on the China mainland and by their conviction that public discontent there is reaching substantial proportions. In the past they believed that their best chance of recovery of the mainland was in the wake of a war in which the US defeated the Chinese Communists. Now, however, they see in the worsening situation on the mainland an opportunity to take action to stimulate public uprisings and provide an alternate leadership to which the discontented Chinese could rally. Such a development, in the view of the GRC leaders, could gather sufficient momentum to evoke US support. 9. The GRC leaders have become increasingly insistent and specific in their requests for US aid and approval of probing operations against the mainland, and they have increased the size of the initial commitment they propose to make in operations against the mainland. The GRC leaders, particularly Chiang, have assumed a ""last chance"" attitude toward recovery of the mainland, and they profess to be determined to undertake sizable military operations on the mainland during 1962. In their view, the test of US willingness and determination to stand with the Republic of China and against further expansion of communism in the Far East is involved in the US response to their proposals. US refusal to support or sanction the GRC proposals for special forces operations would place additional strains on US-GRC relations and would lead to increasing pressures for assurances and demonstrations of US support of the ultimate GRC objective of returning to the mainland. We believe that the GRC leaders might undertake airdrop or raiding activities larger than any heretofore attempted against the mainland, within their independent capability, even without US approval. We do not believe that they will be put off by such counter- proposals as the conduct of further intelligence probes or the development of underground networks on the mainland preparatory to the initiation of larger scale operations. 10. Since 1951 the GRC, with US cooperation, has made repeated efforts to airdrop teams of 6-15 men to seek out and stimulate resistance on the mainland. These efforts have led to no significant success. In June 1960 Chiang Kai-shek appealed to President Eisenhower for support of a GRC plan to airdrop several 200-300 man paramilitary teams into China. The US response was to suggest probes of smaller size. Accordingly, plans for dropping 20-man teams into selected areas of south China were completed by the fall of 1961, but the GRC has declined to implement these plans. 11. The GRC forces have for several years carried out training exercises in amphibious operations. In mid-1961 President Chiang ordered planning for an amphibious assault which would initially commit four divisions but would ultimately employ 30 divisions. He instructed his planners not to count on US aid. Chiang almost certainly was aware that 16. The GRC has the theoretical capability of conducting an amphibious operation with a force of about 15,000 troops. This capability also assumes little or no resistance. The effectiveness of such a force would depend on a number of factors, including the element of surprise, the strength of Chinese Communist defenses, and the ability of the GRC to sustain the operation logistically. Without US assist- ance, it is unlikely that the GRC could suc- cessfully carry out such an operation. If landed would be seriously restricted by a limited logistics capability. An amphibious operation of any size would almost certainly be detected by the Chinese Communists. II, CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED GRC MILITARY OPERATIONS ON THE MAINLAND 17. The chances that the proposed GRC operations, with or without the kind of US support requested, will be successful in triggering mainland resistance are extremely poor at the present time. Even if the GRC groups could make an initial lodgment, they would almost certainly be sought out and destroyed by Chinese Communist military and security units in a short time. At best, the GRC special force teams might find temporary refuge in rugged and thinly populated areas. While there is widespread dissatisfaction with conditions on the mainland, very few people, and no significant military units, would be likely to join the GRC forces in the absence of clear military success. We believe that such success would be impossible without large-scale US support. 18. Peiping’s immediate response to GRC military operations of any significant size and duration would be to launch a violent propaganda and political campaign against the US and the GRC. The Chinese Communists might also engage in some retaliatory military action in the Taiwan Strait area. We believe it unlikely that they would undertake attacks against Taiwan, because of their concern about triggering US reaction. 19. Any significant GRC operations would probably have the temporary effect of bringing Peiping and Moscow somewhat closer together; if the two Bloc powers were on the edge of a split, the incident might tip the balance for the time being against it. The Soviets would probably not be completely averse to seeing Communist China embarrassed by a limited indigenous rebellion which they might hope would bring about a leadership change in the Chinese Party. However, the Soviets would not wish such pressure on Communist China to reach the point of jeopardizing the retention of a Communist regime in power in China. They would be especially concerned that a rebellion instigated by the GRC, which was not quickly put down, might reach such a point and attract US support. 20. While the USSR would engage in a propaganda campaign against the GRC and the US, the Soviet leaders would be most unlikely to alter their policies toward China or the US so long as the GRC operations met with no notable success. In the unlikely event that they did meet with success, the Soviet leaders would almost certainly support the Chinese Communist regime to the extent necessary to put down the rebellion while exploiting the opportunity to attempt to bring Chinese policy and outlook more in line with that of the USSR. 21. It is highly improbable that the US would be able to disassociate itself in international opinion from responsibility for any significant GRC operations against the mainland. Although it is unlikely that the Bloc could succeed in obtaining a formal condemnation of the US in the UN, it could probably stir up enough criticism among UN members to complicate seriously the GRC’s ability to weather next session’s China representation fight. 22. If the proposed GRC operation resulted in the immediate destruction of the Chinese Nationalist troops involved there would probably be a serious, but not critical, decline in the morale of GRC military and government officials. If the operation met with some initial success, but was subsequently contained and destroyed, the GRC would almost certainly put the onus for the failure on the US; relations between the GRC and the US would consequently decline. In either case GRC officials (the President obviously excepted) would probably become more resigned to concentrating on policies geared to the strengthening of the long-term GRC position on Taiwan.",Confidential,DISC_Security,"ina Through 1965,” now in preparation.

The GRC forces have for several years carried out training exercises in amphibious operations. In mid-1961 President Chiang ordered planning for an amphibious assault which would initially commit four divisions but would ultimately employ 30 divisions. He instructed his planners not to count on US aid. Chiang almost certainly was aware that 16. The GRC has the theoretical capability of conducting an amphibious operation with a force of about 15,000 troops. This capability also assumes little or no resistance. The effectiveness of such a force would depend on a number of factors, including the element of surprise, the strength of Chinese Communist defenses, and the ability of the GRC to sustain the operation logistically. Without US assist- ance, it is unlikely that the GRC could suc- cessfully carry out such an operation. If landed would be seriously restricted by a limited logistics capability. An amphibious operation of any size would almost certainly be detected by the Chinese Communists. II, CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED GRC MILITARY OPERATIONS ON THE MAINLAND 17. The chances that the proposed GRC operations, with or without the kind of US support requested, will be successful in triggering mainland resistance are extremely poor at the present time. Even if the GRC groups could make an initial lodgment, they would almost certainly be sought out and destroyed by Chinese Communist military and security units in a short time. At best, the GRC special force teams might find temporary refuge in rugged and thinly populated areas. While there is widespread dissatisfaction with conditions on the mainland, very few people, and no significant military units, would be likely to join the GRC forces in the absence of clear military success. We believe that such success would be impossible without large-scale US support. 18. Peiping’s immediate response to GRC military operations of any significant size and duration would be to launch a violent propaganda and political campaign against the US and the GRC. The Chinese Communists might also engage in some retaliatory military action in the Taiwan Strait area. We believe it unlikely that they would undertake attacks against Taiwan, because of their concern about triggering US reaction. 19. Any significant GRC operations would probably have the temporary effect of bringing Peiping and Moscow somewhat closer together; if the two Bloc powers were on the edge of a split, the incident might tip the balance for the time being against it. The Soviets would probably not be completely averse to seeing Communist China embarrassed by a limited indigenous rebellion which they might hope would bring about a leadership change in the Chinese Party. However, the Soviets would not wish such pressure on Communist China to reach the point of jeopardizing the retention of a Communist regime in power in China. They would be especially concerned that a rebellion instigated by the GRC, which was not quickly put down, might reach such a point and attract US support. 20. While the USSR would engage in a propaganda campaign against the GRC and the US, the Soviet leaders would be most unlikely to alter their policies toward China or the US so long as the GRC operations met with no notable success. In the unlikely event that they did meet with success, the Soviet leaders would almost certainly support the Chinese Communist regime to the extent necessary to put down the rebellion while exploiting the opportunity to attempt to bring Chinese policy and outlook more in line with that of the USSR. 21. It is highly improbable that the US would be able to disassociate itself in international opinion from responsibility for any significant GRC operations against the mainland. Although it is unlikely that the Bloc could succeed in obtaining a formal condemnation of the US in the UN, it could probably stir up enough criticism among UN members to complicate seriously the GRC’s ability to weather next session’s China representation fight. 22. If the proposed GRC operation resulted in the immediate destruction of the Chinese Nationalist troops involved there would probably be a serious, but not critical, decline in the morale of GRC military and government officials. If the operation met with some initial success, but was subsequently contained and destroyed, the GRC would almost certainly put the onus for the failure on the US; relations between the GRC and the US would consequently decline. In either case GRC officials (the President obviously excepted) would probably become more resigned to concentrating on policies geared to the strengthening of the long-term GRC position on Taiwan."

Or any other dermoatology cream can I use? My hands are also brown in color and full of tan. Do you suggest any creams to get fair?

If I use anything, then will it have any effect in case of pregnancy, etc? Please help me. Thanks in advance. Hi. One's skin color has 2 components. First one is genetic, which cannot be changed. Every skin color is beautiful in its own way and we should learn to love our skin color and augment it and not hide or lighten it. The second component is acquired, which is due to the influence of environment, sunlight, hormones, aging, etc. We can only target the acquired component of fair skin color while attempting lightening procedures. I suggest you antioxidant capsules like capsule Antoxid HC (Beta-carotene) and apply sunscreen lotion Lashield gel at 8 AM and 12 PM. Also, you can apply Glyaha koj lotion (Hydroquinone) at night time. Start with an alternate night application initialy as it may irritate your skin a bit and after a week or so, shift to daily night application. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the treatment with consent. You can go for chemical peeling or microdermabrasion from your dermatologist which will help in exfoliating and give you a clearer skin tone. All these treatments are free of side effects.

They were taken for reasons outside the context of the agreement, which allows the U.S. to take any action on export licensing consistent with U.S. laws and regulations.

CONFIDENTIAL UNCLASSIFIED COO ——————_—<—_———oO me UNCLASSIEIED, Export Controls as Barriers to Trade fe) U.S. controls on export of high technology goods and services have not served as a significant barrier to increased trade between our countries. China continues to enjoy broad access to U.S. technology. The items affected by these controls are relatively few in comparison to the range of products that the U.S. offers. ° Our figures show that China is simply buying less from the U.S. -- The percentage of licenses we have rejected has actually fallen in the last three years, from 1.75% to less than 0.1%. In 1990 U.S. license refusals accounted for only $1.2 million out of $1.5 billion in high-technology exports licensed. -- At the same time, the nominal value of exports licensed to China plummeted between 1989 and 1990 from $3.3 billion to $1.5 billion. fe) Moreover, we have taken the initiative to devise appropriate safeguard regimes in a number of cases to allow exports that would otherwise be denied. fe) The U.S. believes that barriers to access by our exporters to your economy have a much greater and more immediate impact on our ability to export to China than these controls. COCOM ¢ List Liberalization fe) Subject to the measures announced by the White House on June 16, the U.S. continues to support the sale of dual-use high technology items to China consistent with COCOM policy. fo) China will benefit from the overall reduction of the COCOM List. The new Core List significantly reduces controls on many items, including lower-end computers, electronics and avionics. -- Although the overall liberalization will not reduce the level of access to technology that China now has, it will tend to reduce the differential that China enjoys compared with other countries. -~ As things currently stand, China will continue to have a slight preference in certain areas over most other countries, including the Soviet Union. However, our overall policy on technology exchange will be affected by the extent to which China's policies on weapons proliferation conforms to international standards.

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. Section IV concludes the study with a summary of the main findings and their implications for the future. It also suggests areas for further research on the topic. S.

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,DISC_Security,"A RAND NOTE SOVIET CENTRAL ASIAN SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN S.

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. Section IV concludes the study with a summary of the main findings and their implications for the future. It also suggests areas for further research on the topic. S.

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."

I ALSO APPRECIATE THE PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSIONS WE HAD AND HOPE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER TO IMPROVE THE OVERALL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OUR TWO COUNTRIES. THE BILATERAL RELATIONSHIP STILL HAS ITS CHALLENGES, BUT I BELIEVE THAT WITH THE REINITIATION OF MILITARY CONTACTS, THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AND THE PEOPLE'S LIBERATION ARMY CAN PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OVERCOMING THESE OBSTACLES. ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING OUR DISCUSSIONS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. BEST REGARDS, CHAS W. FREEMAN, JR. DECLAS OADR" "DECLASSIFIED.

Kubib SP - Winston Lord NSC - Richard H. Solomon SUBJECT: Your September 28 Working Dinner with PRC Foreign Minister Ch'iao Kuan-hua You will be hosting a working dinner for PRC Foreign Minister Ch'iao Kuan-hua on Sunday, September 28. The session, which will be held in your suite in the Waldorf Towers, begins at 8:00 p.m. (EA is sending you a scenario for the dinner in a separate memorandum.) Purpose of the Session You last met with Foreign Minister Ch'iao during your November, 1974 trip to Peking -- having hosted a working dinner for him at the U.N. the preceding October. Since that time you have sustained your official dialogue with PRC officials through desultory and un- responsive contacts with PRO Liaison Office Chief Huang Chen. The present session will provide you an opportunity to review the full range of world developments of the past year with your interlocutor of the Shanghai Communique negotiations. Presumably Ch'iao will be more expansive in his comments on various issues than Huang Chen has been. (For your reference, we include here at Tab A the transcript of your October 2, 1974 dinner conversation with Ch'iao.) The present working session will be of particular importance in setting the mood for your October advance trip to Peking, and the President's December summit meeting with PRC leaders. While you will want to make international issues the major focus of the discussion, the Chinese will be anticipating some indication from you of the position the Administration will take this fall on bilateral issues, particularly those related to normalization. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE 2 The Approach In past sessions of this type you have chosen to lead off with a review of various international issues. We believe this remains an During the past year the international pressures which the Chinese have been seeking to deal with through their diplomatic contacts with the U.S. have become more complex. In the wake of the Spring Indochina events and the CSCE agreement in Helsinki early this summer, Soviet maneuverings against the PRC have increased. The Russians are now pressing Brezhnev's notion of an Asian Collective Security arrangement with heightened vigor, while at the same time strengthening their military posture against China (through deployment of advanced fighter aircraft along the Sino-Soviet frontier, and by conducting major sea and land exercises targeted against the PRC). In turn, the Chinese have pressed their ""anti-hegemony"" diplomacy - most obviously in the peace-and-friendship treaty negotiations with the Japanese. As well, they have shown a heightened interest in Western Europe. Song's rush trip to Peking in mid-April and more recently by the late September visit to Pyongyang of a high-ranking PRC delegation (headed by leading Party figure Chang Ch'un-ch'iao). line in commenting on Korea. On the other hand, he will press for information on your negotiating efforts in the Middle East and will be particularly interested in the state of our relations with Japan and Europe. The Subcontinent and Gulf States will also be areas of concern to him. While Ch'iao will not press you on developments in Soviet-American relations, he will obviously be particularly interested in the reasons for delay of the Brezhnev summit. The state of the current SALT round, and our real view of the European security situation in the wake of Helsinki, will be of interest to him. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE t about the Administration's intentions. ~~ Note the importance of the exchange of visits, of exchanges in the scientific, journalistic, and other fields, and of the need for more Chinese students in the U.S.; ~~ Point out the advantages to both sides of expanded trade, which is now at a low ebb; and ~~ Indicate that the U.S. is prepared to discuss the possible initiation of talks on civil air transport, and to consider the TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE Helsinki will also be of interest. (Teng Hsiao-p'ing has attacked the CSCE agreement in his recent meetings with various foreigners, including Ted Heath.) At the same time, Ch'iao is likely to disparage any suggestion that the Russians are increasing their political and military pressures against the PRC, and maintain the line that the immediate danger is to the West and Japan. In this context, in-your discussion of world developments, you will want to: -~ Reaffirm the strong international role the U.S. intends to continue to play, citing our progress in such areas as relations with -the allies and the Middle East; -- Explain once again -our strategic posture toward ‘the Soviets, . without, however, overdoing the now-familiar presentation you have used in the past with the Foreign Minister;, -- Preview prospects for key areas of the globe; and -- Probe for any shifts in Chinese attitudes on such issues as the Soviet Union, Japan, Southeast Asia, and Korea. Our bilateral relations with the PRC are superficially in good shape, as both governments see the relationship as useful to their international security concerns. At a popular level, however, we are frankly concerned that the mood of support for normalization in the U.S. is increasingly shaky -- although this situation has not yet crystallized in our public debate as a problem area in the Administration's foreign policy. When it comes time to confront the hard issues associated with normalization, however, we are likely to find that the base of public support has softened considerably since 1971-72.

The exchange program limps along, degraded by political game-playing on the part of the Chinese (as in the Taiwan ""liberation"" song exercise of the spring, and the recent flap over the composition of the U.S. mayors delegation). The intellectual community is increasingly waspish on U.S.~ PRC relations; and even Congressmen who have hungered for a visit to China are returning from the PRC banquet circuit with mixed views. In several respects this fading of the ""China fever"" of 1971-72 is a healthy thing, although as time passes the good will which has greased the political skids of the normalization process is dissipating. We are not certain what the country's China mood will be like in two or three years. On the Chinese side, Teng Hsiao-p'ing's public comments of early June about a willingness to receive President Ford this fall even ""if he has no major business to transact"" (a line which the Chinese are now propagating in confidential Party study sessions) indicates that Peking wants to sustain its present relationship with the U.S. even in the absence of progress on bilateral issues. At the same time, the problems in our exchange program and signs of debate in PRC media on policy toward the Soviet Union, indicate that there are political pressures in China against a strengthening of U.S.- PRC relations. In this context, your comments to Ch'iao on U.S.- PRC relations should seek to: ~~ Reaffirm the commitment of the Administration to the normali- zation process. ~~ Indicate that you intend to talk about normalization issues in Peking, while noting in a non-defensive manner that the existing problems which impede normalization must be worked at step-by- step on a mutual basis. ~~ Emphasize the value to both sides of partial measures toward the goal of full normalization so as to sustain the momentum of the process and undercut doubt about the Administration's intentions. ~~ Note the importance of the exchange of visits, of exchanges in the scientific, journalistic, and other fields, and of the need for more Chinese students in the U.S.; ~~ Point out the advantages to both sides of expanded trade, which is now at a low ebb; and ~~ Indicate that the U.S. is prepared to discuss the possible initiation of talks on civil air transport, and to consider the TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE There has been much talk abroad about the durability of our present relationship.

"ties should result in an open break between the two Communist parties, the Chinese Communists would probably become more active in promoting subversion and in giving aid to Communist guerrillas in Southeast Asia. They would also be more likely to resort to military action against US and SEATO forces in the area. (Para. 29) DISCUSSION I. OBJECTIVES 6. In the Far East, as elsewhere, the Chinese Communist regime is motivated by a combination of ideological, psycho- logical, and practical considerations. Its ultimate objectives are the establishment of a world-wide Communist society and the realization of Chinese Communist hegemony in Asia. It seeks to achieve these objectives by promoting revolution in the underdeveloped areas of the world, by undermining the strength and pres- tige of the US and the Western powers, and by exploiting the grievances of the non-Communist countries of Asia. (Para. 30) 7. The Chinese Communists are deter- mined to recover Taiwan and the off- shore islands, which they regard as Chinese territory, and to establish their rule over the entire Chinese mainland. They are also committed to the ultimate conquest of South Korea and the reunifi- cation of the Korean peninsula under Communist control. They will not hesi- tate to use force to achieve these objec- tives if they believe that the circum- stances are favorable. (Para. 31) 8. The Chinese Communists are not motivated by a desire to dominate other countries in Asia as such, but they are determined to prevent the establishment of regimes in the area which are hos- tile to their interests. They are also determined to prevent the emergence of a unified non-Communist bloc in Asia which could effectively resist their ex- pansionist aims. (Para. 32) 9. The Chinese Communists are not likely to attempt the open military con- quest of any other Far Eastern country during the period of this estimate. They believe that they can eventually achieve their objectives in the area at far less cost and risk through the techniques of Communist political warfare. When Pei- ping believes the circumstances are right, it will endeavor to supplement the more conventional forms of political warfare with guerrilla and terrorist ac- tion by indigenous forces, supported and guided by Peiping. (Para. 33) 10. The Chinese Communists will seize every opportunity to undermine US standing and to generate anti-American feeling in the Far East. They will strive to promote discontent and instability in the pro-Western countries of the area. They will exploit dissatisfaction over economic conditions and over the pres- ence of US military forces in the region. They will also seek to exploit the re- sidual anti-colonial sentiment in the area. (Para. 34) 11. The Chinese Communists will con- tinue to seek to undermine British and French positions in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, and to exploit any weaknesses in the Western alliance which might develop. (Para. 35) 12. The Chinese Communists will con- tinue their efforts to prevent the estab- lishment of a pro-Western coalition in the Far East. They will seek to prevent the development of a united and inde- pendent Southeast Asia, and will en- deavor to exploit any differences which may arise among the countries of the area. (Para. 36) 13. The Chinese Communists will con- tinue their efforts to extend their in- fluence in the non-Communist countries of Asia. They will exploit the national- ist and anti-colonial sentiment in these countries and will seek to undermine the position of the Western powers. (Para. 37) 14. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to use their military forces to extend their control when they can do so with little or no risk. They will con- tinue their refusal to renounce the use of force for the seizure of Taiwan and the offshore islands, but we believe that concern over retaliation by the US will deter them from attempting a military conquest of Taiwan or the offshore is- lands during at least the period of this estimate. However, the Chinese might undertake limited military action in the Strait area to test Nationalist Chinese defenses and to probe US determination or to call world attention to what it terms “the danger to peace caused by the US occupation of a part of China’s territory.” (Para. 38) 15. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit their military forces to intimidate other countries in the Far East. They will continue their efforts to strengthen their position along the Soviet border and to extend their in- fluence in Outer Mongolia. They will also seek to intimidate other countries in the area by their military demonstra- tions and by threats of intervention. (Para. 39) 16. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit the prestige and in- fluence of their military forces to gain support for their political objectives. They will continue their efforts to build up a powerful and modern armed force, and to demonstrate their military strength to the world. They will also seek to exploit the prestige of their armed forces to gain support for their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. (Para. 40) 17. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit the prestige and in- fluence of their military forces to sup- port their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. They will continue their efforts to build up a powerful and modern armed forces, and to demonstrate their military strength to the world. They will also seek to exploit the prestige of their armed forces to gain support for their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. (Para. 40) 18. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit the prestige and in- fluence of their military forces to sup- port their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. They will continue their efforts to build up a powerful and modern armed forces, and to demonstrate their military strength to the world. They will also seek to exploit the prestige of their armed forces to gain support for their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. (Para. 40) 19. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit the prestige and in- fluence of their military forces to sup- port their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. They will continue their efforts to build up a powerful and modern armed forces, and to demonstrate their military strength to the world. They will also seek to exploit the prestige of their armed forces to gain support for their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. (Para. 40) 20. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit the prestige y Asia. They feel that the Chinese revolution has been more thoroughgoing and more difficult than the Russian, and that therefore they are better qualified to give advice. They are convinced that the Chinese revolution is a model for others to follow. They also believe that the Chinese experience has demonstrated that a Communist revolu- tion can be carried out even in an underde- veloped country, without any significant period of capitalist development, and that therefore the Chinese model is more relevant to the underdeveloped areas of the world than is the Soviet model. Relations were to deteriorate, for example to the present level of Albanian-Soviet relations, Communist China’s military capabilities would be somewhat reduced and Beijing would have much less confidence that it could count on the Soviet nuclear umbrella. Perhaps most important, such an open Sino-Soviet break would also reduce Chinese Communist China’s capabilities for political warfare, at least in the short run. The very foundations of communism would be shaken and Sino-Soviet rivalry for dominant influence in the other Communist parties of Asia would have a disruptive effect on these parties and would substantially weaken them as instruments of subversion for the time being. (Paras. 30-31) DISCUSSION I. OBJECTIVES 6. Communist China’s long-range goal in the Far East is the complete communization of the area under the hegemony of Beijing. Short of this there are 2 number of interim objectives which represent stages of progres- sion toward this goal. These include: the con- solidation of Communist China’s position as a great power; the reduction and eventual re- moval of the US military presence and the elimination of US influence from the Far East in general and Taiwan in particular; the dis- ruption or subversion of governmental con- trol in the non-Communist countries of Asia; and the development of communism in indi- vidual nations of the area as the opportunity arises. It is these interim objectives which will most directly shape Communist China’s policy during the period of this estimate. 7. The Soviet Union is probably in general agreement with Communist China on these interim objectives, although there are and will continue to be differences on tactics and timing. Chinese Communist interests are more directly involved in the Far East than are those of the USSR, and Beijing appears to be more impatient for concrete Communist advances, particularly in areas of substantial US interest. Chinese efforts to establish hegemony over Asia intensify the trend toward division of the Communist world into two major blocs with Moscow and Beijing as competitive centers. We believe that Moscow will strive to retain leadership of the Com- munist movement in the Far East as in the rest of the world.? In those areas where the strength of Beijing’s influence makes this impossible (e.g., North Korea and North Viet- nam), Moscow will endeavor to maintain at least a parity of influence. *Sections I-V of this estimate assume that Sino- Soviet relations will not deteriorate to the breaking point during the next two years or so. The con- tingency of an open break in party relations is considered in Section VI, below. II. BEIJING’S ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION 8. Communist China’s leaders believe that the world situation is ripe for the widespread pressing of anticolonial, Communist-guided revolutions. They are convinced that the mili- tary and political strength of the Bloc has grown to the point where the West can no longer be sure of victory in a military show- down. They probably estimate that, although the Western Powers will support local resist- ance to leftist revolutions in the underdevel- oped, non-Communist countries, the fear of precipitating a major war will prevent the Western Powers from taking effective, direct action against such revolutions. They point to Cuba as proof that they are right. They may also believe that even in the unlikely event that a major war should develop, the hazards would be far greater for the principal Western Powers and even for the USSR than for Communist China. While they are almost certainly more sensitive to the consequences of general war than some of their more radi- cal statements indicate, their concern over this possibility appears to be less acute than that of their Soviet partner. 9. The Chinese Communists believe that their own experience is more relevant than the So- viet experience for guiding other underde- veloped states in Africa, Latin America, and especially Asia. They feel that the Chinese revolution has been more thoroughgoing and more difficult than the Russian, and that therefore they are better qualified to give advice. They are convinced that the Chinese revolution is a model for others to follow. They also believe that the Chinese experience has demonstrated that a Communist revolu- tion can be carried out even in an underde- veloped country, without any significant period of capitalist development, and that therefore the Chinese model is more relevant to the underdeveloped areas of the world than is the Soviet model. ng, only communism can free them. Peiping is also exploiting the growing anti-Western sentiment in Asia which is a result of the US involvement in Viet Nam and other regional conflicts. The Chinese Communists are using propaganda and political warfare to encourage neutralism, to discredit the US, and to exploit the anti- colonial and anti-Western attitudes of Asian peoples. 16. Peiping has a large and growing over- seas Chinese population which it has used for political and economic purposes. The Chinese Communists have long sought to gain control over the overseas Chinese through the Chinese Communist Party abroad. In recent years, however, the Chi- nese Communists have placed greater em- phasis on economic ties with overseas Chi- nese communities and have encouraged the emigration of Chinese to China. The Chi- nese Communists have also used overseas Chinese as intelligence agents and have attempted to use them as a means of ex- panding Chinese Communist influence in Southeast Asia. 17. The Chinese Communists have been active in subversion in Southeast Asia. They have provided arms and training for revolu- tionary movements in Thailand, Malaysia, and Burma. They have also supported the North Vietnamese and the Pathet Lao in their efforts to overthrow the governments of South Viet Nam and Laos. The Chi- nese Communists have also been active in the Philippines and Indonesia, seeking to subvert these governments through propa- ganda and political warfare. 18. The Chinese Communists have estab- lished diplomatic relations with a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. They have also provided economic aid and technical assistance to a number of countries in Asia and Africa. The Chinese Commu- nists have used their economic aid program to gain political influence and to promote their revolutionary ideology. They have also used their diplomatic relations and eco- nomic aid program to gain support for their efforts to expel the US from Asia and to isolate Taiwan. 19. The Chinese Communists have also used military force to achieve their foreign policy objectives. They have intervened in Korea and Tibet, and have provided mili- tary support for insurgent movements in Southeast Asia. They have also engaged in border clashes with India and the Soviet Union. The Chinese Communists have demonstrated a willingness to use military force to achieve their goals, and their mili- tary capabilities are growing, making them a potential threat to regional security. 20. In conclusion, the Chinese Communist leadership is driven by a revolutionary ideol- ogy and a desire to expand their influence and power in Asia. They see the US as the greatest obstacle to achieving their goals, and are actively working to undermine US influence and presence in the region. While they face domestic challenges, they are likely to continue pursuing their foreign policy objectives, including through propa- ganda, subversion, and military force. The growing Chinese Communist power and in- fluence in Asia poses a significant challenge to regional stability and US interests in the region. analysis, the USSR will not risk war to de- fend any particular country in the Far East against China. 21. The Chinese Communist leadership is probably not yet convinced that the USSR has abandoned the idea of a “limited” war with the United States. In any event, the Chinese are unlikely to accept the Soviet thesis that the United States is now seeking a “hot war” in Asia. They probably believe that the United States will continue to use its “imperialist” tactics of economic pres- sure, propaganda, and subversion to try to maintain its position in Asia. They are likely to see the U.S. buildup of military strength in the Far East as preparation for intervention in a local war, which they believe the United States would fight to avoid a global nuclear war. 18. Peiping’s foreign policy is influenced both by Communist objectives and Chinese national interests. Generally, but not always, these move in the same direction, and it is possible that the Chinese Communist leaders are unconscious of any conflict between them. They probably hold that what is good for Communist China is good for the world Communist movement. Since the Bandung Conference of 1955, their general line of foreign policy has aimed at creating the image of a power of vigor and rapidly increasing strength as a result of having adopted communism, a power leading the way for those countries which are still retarded and weak. 19. At the same time, Chinese national interests have had considerable weight, even in some instances when they required at least temporary sacrifice of Communist goals. The policy toward Taiwan is at least in part nationalistic, because Peiping asserts that the acquisition of Taiwan is a domestic matter, i.e., the completion of the civil war in China. Peiping’s relatively fierce reaction to Indonesia’s persecution of Overseas Chinese merchants reflected a temporary victory of na- tionalism over the Communist line. The most striking example of the sacrifice of Communist to national interests is Peiping’s aggressive pur- suit of border claims against India in the Himalaya region. Not only does this action conflict with the international Communist policy of wooing India’s favor and support, but it constitutes a major source of weakness and division in the Communist Party of India. 20. A third factor, which is in the background of most Chinese Communist foreign policy deci- sions, is the attitude of the USSR. Although Peiping’s policies for the Far East probably in- volve higher risks than those of Moscow, there is a sizable area of overlap between them. This gives Peiping considerable flexibility, although its dependence upon the protection of the Soviet nuclear deterrent gives Moscow some capability for restraining what it considers excessively risky Chinese policies. On the other hand, the Chinese probably still estimate that, in the last analysis, the USSR will not risk war to defend any partic- ular country in the Far East against China. 21. The Chinese Communist leadership is probably not yet convinced that the USSR has abandoned the idea of a “limited” war with the United States. In any event, the Chinese are unlikely to accept the Soviet thesis that the United States is now seeking a “hot war” in Asia. They probably believe that the United States will continue to use its “imperialist” tactics of economic pressure, propaganda, and subversion to try to maintain its position in Asia. They are likely to see the U.S. buildup of military strength in the Far East as preparation for intervention in a local war, which they believe the United States would fight to avoid a global nuclear war. drive the Chinese Communists to continue their present policy of harassing the islands and maintaining the threat of invasion but not actually attempting to take them. The Chinese Communists have the capability to launch a major attack on Taiwan, but they almost certainly realize that such an attack would result in a major military response from the US and could escalate into a wider conflict. Therefore, they are likely to con- tinue their current strategy of using threats and harassment to try to force Taiwan to accept their terms for unification. 28. In Southeast Asia, the Chinese Communists will continue to use a combination of polit- ical, economic, and military means to further their objectives. They will seek to exploit internal political and economic problems in these countries, particularly in South Viet- nam and Laos, and will provide support to communist or pro-communist elements in order to undermine the stability of these governments. At the same time, they will continue to provide economic aid and tech- nical assistance to neutral countries in the region, as a means of gaining influence and support. 29. It is possible that the Chinese Communists may attempt to escalate their involvement in the Vietnam War, by sending more mili- tary supplies and advisers to the Vietcong and North Vietnamese forces. However, they are unlikely to commit their own military forces to direct combat, as they are aware of the potential for a wider war with the US. Instead, they will likely continue to use in- direct means, such as guerrilla warfare and political subversion, to further their goals in the region. 30. In the longer term, the Chinese Communists will likely continue to pursue their ultimate goals of eliminating US influence from the Far East and establishing themselves as the dominant power in the region. They may attempt to do so through a combination of overt and covert means, including military action if they believe they can do so with minimal risk. However, they are also likely to continue to use political warfare and sub- version as their primary means of expanding their influence in the region. divisions, 16 artillery divisions, and 4 inde- pendent artillery regiments. These forces are supported by 6-7 million militia, of whom about 2.5 million are organized into 26 army-level militia units and about 1 million into 13 provincial-level militia units. The remainder are in local units. The Chinese Communists continue to organize and train new militia units. 2. The principal changes in the Chinese Communist ground forces during the past year have been in the artillery and the air- borne forces. The artillery has been strength- ened by the addition of about 70 new self- propelled battalions, equipped with Soviet 122-mm and 152-mm guns. The airbome forces have been expanded by the addition of a third airborne division, and the two existing divisions have been upgraded to higher standards of training and equipment. The Chinese Communists also have formed a number of special-purpose units and have improved their amphibious capabilities. 3. The Chinese Communist Army is com- posed of 28 military regions, of which 23 are on the mainland, 3 in Taiwan, and 2 in the Taiwan Strait islands. The principal ground forces in the military regions are 12 field armies, 4 artillery armies, and 6 artillery corps. The field armies are composed of 85 regular divisions and 11 independent regi- ments, and the artillery armies and corps contain more than 2,500 guns and mortars. The remaining 6 military regions in Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait islands are garrisoned by 73 infantry and 9 artillery divisions, 6 independent regiments, and about 1 million militia. 4. The Chinese Communists have 3 types of ground combat units: regular, militia, and local. Regular units are composed of men under 30 years of age who serve for a mini- mum of 3 years. They are the best trained, best equipped, and most reliable of the Chinese Communist forces. Militia units are composed of men between 30 and 35 years of age who have had 6 months of military train- ing. Local units are composed of men over 35 years of age who have had 2 weeks of military training. These local units are used primarily for local defense and security and are not considered combat forces. 5. The Chinese Communists have made significant improvements in their artillery forces during the past year. They have strengthened their artillery forces by the addition of 70 new self-propelled battalions, bringing the total number of such units to about 130. These new battalions are equipped with Soviet 122-mm and 152-mm guns. The Chinese Communists have also increased their stocks of medium and heavy artillery ammunition. They are now believed to have a 30-day supply of medium and heavy ammu- nition on hand, as compared to a 20-day supply a year ago. This increase in stocks has been made possible by the completion of new ammunition plants and the expansion of existing plants. 6. The Chinese Communists have also improved their artillery training. They have extended the range of their artillery by about 50 percent, and have improved their ability to employ artillery in support of infantry operations. They have also in- creased their proficiency in night firing and in the use of artillery in support of am- phibious operations. 7. The Chinese Communist airbome forces have been expanded by the addition of a third airborne division. The two existing divisions have been upgraded to higher standards of training and equipment. The Chinese Communists have also increased their airborne training, emphasizing night operations, and have improved their air- borne communication capabilities. 8. The Chinese Communists have improved their amphibious capabilities by the addi- tion of a number of special-purpose units. They have also constructed new amphibious training facilities and have increased their amphibious training. They have increased their emphasis on night amphibious opera- tions and on the use of amphibious forces in the seizure of offshore islands. They have also improved their amphibious lift capa- bilities by the addition of new landing craft. 9. The Chinese Communists have also strengthened their ground forces by the addition of new weapons. They have intro- duced the Soviet 122-mm and 152-mm guns into their artillery units, and have added new tanks, self-propelled guns, and anti- tank guns to their armored units. They have also introduced a new 120-mm mortar, a new medium machine gun, and a new automatic rifle into their infantry units. 10. The Chinese Communists have also improved their logistic support. They have constructed new roads and railroads and have improved existing ones. They have constructed new bridges and have improved existing ones. They have also improved their transportation capabilities by the addition of new trucks and rail cars. They have also added new POL pipelines and storage facilities. 11. The Chinese Communist Army is equipped with a wide variety of weapons, including Soviet, US, and Chinese-made weapons. The Chinese Communists have been producing weapons for their ground forces since 1953, and their production rates have been increasing steadily. In 1960 they produced 2,000 tanks and 5,000 artillery pieces. In 1961 they are estimated to have produced 2,500 tanks and 6,000 artillery pieces. They also produce mortars, machine guns, automatic rifles, and other infantry weapons. They are also producing small quantities of 122-mm and 152-mm guns. 12. The Chinese Communists have been producing tanks since 1958, and their pro- duction rates have been increasing steadily. In 1960 they produced about 2,000 tanks, and in 1961 they are estimated to have pro- duced 2,500 tanks. They are now producing two types of tanks. The T-34/85, which is the Chinese Communist main battle tank, is produced in two plants. The T-54, which is the Chinese Communist medium tank, is produced in one plant. Chinese Communist tanks are generally inferior to Soviet tanks of similar types, but they represent a signifi- cant improvement over the Chinese Com- munist tanks of the Korean War period. 13. The Chinese Communists have been producing artillery since 1953, and their production rates have been increasing steadily. In 1960 they produced about 5,000 artillery pieces, and in 1961 they are esti- mated to have produced 6,000 artillery pieces. The Chinese Communists now pro- duce 122-mm and 152-mm guns in two plants, and 130-mm guns in one plant. They also produce n any future conflict difficult. 7. The Chinese Communists have placed a high priority on the air defense of their key urban and industrial centers. In addition to the AA guns, they have a growing force of surface-to-air missiles (SAM). In 1961 the Chinese announced the establishment of 8 SAM regiments. The first of these is probably now operational and the others are in various stages of training and equipping. The Chi- nese have also produced a small quantity of surface-to-surface missiles (SSM) and have announced the formation of 5 SSM regiments. The first of these is probably now opera- tional. The Chinese Communists have also acquired a small number of IL-28 bombers from the USSR and have produced a small number of TU-4 bombers from the Soviet tooling and components left in China. These aircraft are capable of carrying atomic bombs. 8. The Chinese Communist Air Force has been training intensively for a number of years and, if the Chinese Communists have acquired atomic weapons, we believe that they would be willing to use them in the event of a major war in the Far East. The Chinese Communists have a capability for delivering atomic bombs by air, but the amount and quality of training for this mis- sion is not known. 9. The Chinese Communists have a limited capability for conducting air operations against naval forces. Their air force includes a small number of TU-4 bombers, capable of carrying atomic bombs, and IL-28 bombers which are capable of carrying torpedoes. In addition, the Chinese Communists have some marginal capability for conducting torpedo bombing and glide bombing attacks with their fighter-bombers. However, their aircraft are not equipped with the necessary navigational and attack aids to permit them to operate effectively at night or under adverse weather conditions. Furthermore, the Chinese Com- munists do not have any aircraft capable of conducting air-to-surface missile attacks against naval forces. 10. The Chinese Communist Naval Air Force has a limited capability for conducting anti-submarine warfare operations, using aircraft of the IL-28 type equipped with dipping sonar. However, the effectiveness of this type of aircraft in conducting anti-sub- marine warfare operations is limited. The Chinese Communists have no aircraft capa- ble of conducting airborne early warning operations. 11. Overall, the Chinese Communist air forces are a formidable force with a large number of aircraft and a growing capability for air defense and limited offensive operations. However, their training and logistics capabilities are still limited and may hinder their effectiveness in prolonged operations. Additionally, their air forces have some limitations in conducting operations against naval forces and in conducting certain types of air operations. The Chinese Communist ground forces consist of an estimated 2.6 million personnel, with a mix of infantry, armor, and airborne units. The majority of these forces are organized into divisions, with each division consisting of three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and supporting units. The infantry divisions are estimated to have a strength of 15,000 soldiers, while the armored divisions have a strength of 6,600 soldiers. The airborne units have a strength of 7,000 soldiers each. The Chinese Communist ground forces lack advanced weaponry and are primarily focused on defensive operations. However, they have a significant number of troops and could potentially launch amphibious assaults against offshore islands. Their overall capabilities are limited by a shortage of major surface and minesweeping craft, and a lack of auxiliary forces for extended operations. Additionally, their advanced weapons capabilities are currently limited, with no nuclear weapons and only the beginning of a missile capability. - 9 2 3 2 1 1 2 4 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Sid Vowt pert we? a: se 9 3. wh whe wee"" sanvenay You RN ""aAuasae: you are i am the 'sy aionvels Q , » JO very very proud and happy? ented, a aware?

They would also be more likely to resort to military action against US and SEATO forces in the area. (Para. 29) DISCUSSION I. OBJECTIVES 6. In the Far East, as elsewhere, the Chinese Communist regime is motivated by a combination of ideological, psycho- logical, and practical considerations. Its ultimate objectives are the establishment of a world-wide Communist society and the realization of Chinese Communist hegemony in Asia. It seeks to achieve these objectives by promoting revolution in the underdeveloped areas of the world, by undermining the strength and pres- tige of the US and the Western powers, and by exploiting the grievances of the non-Communist countries of Asia. (Para. 30) 7. The Chinese Communists are deter- mined to recover Taiwan and the off- shore islands, which they regard as Chinese territory, and to establish their rule over the entire Chinese mainland. They are also committed to the ultimate conquest of South Korea and the reunifi- cation of the Korean peninsula under Communist control. They will not hesi- tate to use force to achieve these objec- tives if they believe that the circum- stances are favorable. (Para. 31) 8. The Chinese Communists are not motivated by a desire to dominate other countries in Asia as such, but they are determined to prevent the establishment of regimes in the area which are hos- tile to their interests. They are also determined to prevent the emergence of a unified non-Communist bloc in Asia which could effectively resist their ex- pansionist aims. (Para. 32) 9. The Chinese Communists are not likely to attempt the open military con- quest of any other Far Eastern country during the period of this estimate. They believe that they can eventually achieve their objectives in the area at far less cost and risk through the techniques of Communist political warfare. When Pei- ping believes the circumstances are right, it will endeavor to supplement the more conventional forms of political warfare with guerrilla and terrorist ac- tion by indigenous forces, supported and guided by Peiping. (Para. 33) 10. The Chinese Communists will seize every opportunity to undermine US standing and to generate anti-American feeling in the Far East. They will strive to promote discontent and instability in the pro-Western countries of the area. They will exploit dissatisfaction over economic conditions and over the pres- ence of US military forces in the region. They will also seek to exploit the re- sidual anti-colonial sentiment in the area. (Para. 34) 11. The Chinese Communists will con- tinue to seek to undermine British and French positions in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia, and to exploit any weaknesses in the Western alliance which might develop. (Para. 35) 12. The Chinese Communists will con- tinue their efforts to prevent the estab- lishment of a pro-Western coalition in the Far East. They will seek to prevent the development of a united and inde- pendent Southeast Asia, and will en- deavor to exploit any differences which may arise among the countries of the area. (Para. 36) 13. The Chinese Communists will con- tinue their efforts to extend their in- fluence in the non-Communist countries of Asia. They will exploit the national- ist and anti-colonial sentiment in these countries and will seek to undermine the position of the Western powers. (Para. 37) 14. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to use their military forces to extend their control when they can do so with little or no risk. They will con- tinue their refusal to renounce the use of force for the seizure of Taiwan and the offshore islands, but we believe that concern over retaliation by the US will deter them from attempting a military conquest of Taiwan or the offshore is- lands during at least the period of this estimate. However, the Chinese might undertake limited military action in the Strait area to test Nationalist Chinese defenses and to probe US determination or to call world attention to what it terms “the danger to peace caused by the US occupation of a part of China’s territory.” (Para. 38) 15. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit their military forces to intimidate other countries in the Far East. They will continue their efforts to strengthen their position along the Soviet border and to extend their in- fluence in Outer Mongolia. They will also seek to intimidate other countries in the area by their military demonstra- tions and by threats of intervention. (Para. 39) 16. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit the prestige and in- fluence of their military forces to gain support for their political objectives. They will continue their efforts to build up a powerful and modern armed force, and to demonstrate their military strength to the world. They will also seek to exploit the prestige of their armed forces to gain support for their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. (Para. 40) 17. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit the prestige and in- fluence of their military forces to sup- port their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. They will continue their efforts to build up a powerful and modern armed forces, and to demonstrate their military strength to the world. They will also seek to exploit the prestige of their armed forces to gain support for their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. (Para. 40) 18. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit the prestige and in- fluence of their military forces to sup- port their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. They will continue their efforts to build up a powerful and modern armed forces, and to demonstrate their military strength to the world. They will also seek to exploit the prestige of their armed forces to gain support for their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. (Para. 40) 19. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit the prestige and in- fluence of their military forces to sup- port their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. They will continue their efforts to build up a powerful and modern armed forces, and to demonstrate their military strength to the world. They will also seek to exploit the prestige of their armed forces to gain support for their political objectives in other countries, especially in Africa and Asia. (Para. 40) 20. The Chinese Communists will not hesitate to exploit the prestige y Asia. They feel that the Chinese revolution has been more thoroughgoing and more difficult than the Russian, and that therefore they are better qualified to give advice. They are convinced that the Chinese revolution is a model for others to follow. They also believe that the Chinese experience has demonstrated that a Communist revolu- tion can be carried out even in an underde- veloped country, without any significant period of capitalist development, and that therefore the Chinese model is more relevant to the underdeveloped areas of the world than is the Soviet model. Relations were to deteriorate, for example to the present level of Albanian-Soviet relations, Communist China’s military capabilities would be somewhat reduced and Beijing would have much less confidence that it could count on the Soviet nuclear umbrella. Perhaps most important, such an open Sino-Soviet break would also reduce Chinese Communist China’s capabilities for political warfare, at least in the short run. The very foundations of communism would be shaken and Sino-Soviet rivalry for dominant influence in the other Communist parties of Asia would have a disruptive effect on these parties and would substantially weaken them as instruments of subversion for the time being. (Paras. 30-31) DISCUSSION I. OBJECTIVES 6. Communist China’s long-range goal in the Far East is the complete communization of the area under the hegemony of Beijing. Short of this there are 2 number of interim objectives which represent stages of progres- sion toward this goal. These include: the con- solidation of Communist China’s position as a great power; the reduction and eventual re- moval of the US military presence and the elimination of US influence from the Far East in general and Taiwan in particular; the dis- ruption or subversion of governmental con- trol in the non-Communist countries of Asia; and the development of communism in indi- vidual nations of the area as the opportunity arises. It is these interim objectives which will most directly shape Communist China’s policy during the period of this estimate. 7. The Soviet Union is probably in general agreement with Communist China on these interim objectives, although there are and will continue to be differences on tactics and timing. Chinese Communist interests are more directly involved in the Far East than are those of the USSR, and Beijing appears to be more impatient for concrete Communist advances, particularly in areas of substantial US interest. Chinese efforts to establish hegemony over Asia intensify the trend toward division of the Communist world into two major blocs with Moscow and Beijing as competitive centers. We believe that Moscow will strive to retain leadership of the Com- munist movement in the Far East as in the rest of the world.? In those areas where the strength of Beijing’s influence makes this impossible (e.g., North Korea and North Viet- nam), Moscow will endeavor to maintain at least a parity of influence. *Sections I-V of this estimate assume that Sino- Soviet relations will not deteriorate to the breaking point during the next two years or so. The con- tingency of an open break in party relations is considered in Section VI, below. II. BEIJING’S ESTIMATE OF THE SITUATION 8. Communist China’s leaders believe that the world situation is ripe for the widespread pressing of anticolonial, Communist-guided revolutions. They are convinced that the mili- tary and political strength of the Bloc has grown to the point where the West can no longer be sure of victory in a military show- down. They probably estimate that, although the Western Powers will support local resist- ance to leftist revolutions in the underdevel- oped, non-Communist countries, the fear of precipitating a major war will prevent the Western Powers from taking effective, direct action against such revolutions. They point to Cuba as proof that they are right. They may also believe that even in the unlikely event that a major war should develop, the hazards would be far greater for the principal Western Powers and even for the USSR than for Communist China. While they are almost certainly more sensitive to the consequences of general war than some of their more radi- cal statements indicate, their concern over this possibility appears to be less acute than that of their Soviet partner. 9. The Chinese Communists believe that their own experience is more relevant than the So- viet experience for guiding other underde- veloped states in Africa, Latin America, and especially Asia. They feel that the Chinese revolution has been more thoroughgoing and more difficult than the Russian, and that therefore they are better qualified to give advice. They are convinced that the Chinese revolution is a model for others to follow. They also believe that the Chinese experience has demonstrated that a Communist revolu- tion can be carried out even in an underde- veloped country, without any significant period of capitalist development, and that therefore the Chinese model is more relevant to the underdeveloped areas of the world than is the Soviet model. ng, only communism can free them. Peiping is also exploiting the growing anti-Western sentiment in Asia which is a result of the US involvement in Viet Nam and other regional conflicts. The Chinese Communists are using propaganda and political warfare to encourage neutralism, to discredit the US, and to exploit the anti- colonial and anti-Western attitudes of Asian peoples. 16. Peiping has a large and growing over- seas Chinese population which it has used for political and economic purposes. The Chinese Communists have long sought to gain control over the overseas Chinese through the Chinese Communist Party abroad. In recent years, however, the Chi- nese Communists have placed greater em- phasis on economic ties with overseas Chi- nese communities and have encouraged the emigration of Chinese to China. The Chi- nese Communists have also used overseas Chinese as intelligence agents and have attempted to use them as a means of ex- panding Chinese Communist influence in Southeast Asia. 17. The Chinese Communists have been active in subversion in Southeast Asia. They have provided arms and training for revolu- tionary movements in Thailand, Malaysia, and Burma. They have also supported the North Vietnamese and the Pathet Lao in their efforts to overthrow the governments of South Viet Nam and Laos. The Chi- nese Communists have also been active in the Philippines and Indonesia, seeking to subvert these governments through propa- ganda and political warfare. 18. The Chinese Communists have estab- lished diplomatic relations with a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. They have also provided economic aid and technical assistance to a number of countries in Asia and Africa. The Chinese Commu- nists have used their economic aid program to gain political influence and to promote their revolutionary ideology. They have also used their diplomatic relations and eco- nomic aid program to gain support for their efforts to expel the US from Asia and to isolate Taiwan. 19. The Chinese Communists have also used military force to achieve their foreign policy objectives. They have intervened in Korea and Tibet, and have provided mili- tary support for insurgent movements in Southeast Asia. They have also engaged in border clashes with India and the Soviet Union. The Chinese Communists have demonstrated a willingness to use military force to achieve their goals, and their mili- tary capabilities are growing, making them a potential threat to regional security. 20. In conclusion, the Chinese Communist leadership is driven by a revolutionary ideol- ogy and a desire to expand their influence and power in Asia. They see the US as the greatest obstacle to achieving their goals, and are actively working to undermine US influence and presence in the region. While they face domestic challenges, they are likely to continue pursuing their foreign policy objectives, including through propa- ganda, subversion, and military force. The growing Chinese Communist power and in- fluence in Asia poses a significant challenge to regional stability and US interests in the region. analysis, the USSR will not risk war to de- fend any particular country in the Far East against China. 21. The Chinese Communist leadership is probably not yet convinced that the USSR has abandoned the idea of a “limited” war with the United States. In any event, the Chinese are unlikely to accept the Soviet thesis that the United States is now seeking a “hot war” in Asia. They probably believe that the United States will continue to use its “imperialist” tactics of economic pres- sure, propaganda, and subversion to try to maintain its position in Asia. They are likely to see the U.S. buildup of military strength in the Far East as preparation for intervention in a local war, which they believe the United States would fight to avoid a global nuclear war. 18. Peiping’s foreign policy is influenced both by Communist objectives and Chinese national interests. Generally, but not always, these move in the same direction, and it is possible that the Chinese Communist leaders are unconscious of any conflict between them. They probably hold that what is good for Communist China is good for the world Communist movement. Since the Bandung Conference of 1955, their general line of foreign policy has aimed at creating the image of a power of vigor and rapidly increasing strength as a result of having adopted communism, a power leading the way for those countries which are still retarded and weak. 19. At the same time, Chinese national interests have had considerable weight, even in some instances when they required at least temporary sacrifice of Communist goals. The policy toward Taiwan is at least in part nationalistic, because Peiping asserts that the acquisition of Taiwan is a domestic matter, i.e., the completion of the civil war in China. Peiping’s relatively fierce reaction to Indonesia’s persecution of Overseas Chinese merchants reflected a temporary victory of na- tionalism over the Communist line. The most striking example of the sacrifice of Communist to national interests is Peiping’s aggressive pur- suit of border claims against India in the Himalaya region. Not only does this action conflict with the international Communist policy of wooing India’s favor and support, but it constitutes a major source of weakness and division in the Communist Party of India. 20. A third factor, which is in the background of most Chinese Communist foreign policy deci- sions, is the attitude of the USSR. Although Peiping’s policies for the Far East probably in- volve higher risks than those of Moscow, there is a sizable area of overlap between them. This gives Peiping considerable flexibility, although its dependence upon the protection of the Soviet nuclear deterrent gives Moscow some capability for restraining what it considers excessively risky Chinese policies. On the other hand, the Chinese probably still estimate that, in the last analysis, the USSR will not risk war to defend any partic- ular country in the Far East against China. 21. The Chinese Communist leadership is probably not yet convinced that the USSR has abandoned the idea of a “limited” war with the United States. In any event, the Chinese are unlikely to accept the Soviet thesis that the United States is now seeking a “hot war” in Asia. They probably believe that the United States will continue to use its “imperialist” tactics of economic pressure, propaganda, and subversion to try to maintain its position in Asia. They are likely to see the U.S. buildup of military strength in the Far East as preparation for intervention in a local war, which they believe the United States would fight to avoid a global nuclear war. drive the Chinese Communists to continue their present policy of harassing the islands and maintaining the threat of invasion but not actually attempting to take them. The Chinese Communists have the capability to launch a major attack on Taiwan, but they almost certainly realize that such an attack would result in a major military response from the US and could escalate into a wider conflict. Therefore, they are likely to con- tinue their current strategy of using threats and harassment to try to force Taiwan to accept their terms for unification. 28. In Southeast Asia, the Chinese Communists will continue to use a combination of polit- ical, economic, and military means to further their objectives. They will seek to exploit political and economic problems in these countries, particularly in South Viet- nam and Laos, and will provide support to communist or pro-communist elements in order to undermine the stability of these governments. At the same time, they will continue to provide economic aid and tech- nical assistance to neutral countries in the region, as a means of gaining influence and support. 29. It is possible that the Chinese Communists may attempt to escalate their involvement in the Vietnam War, by sending more mili- tary supplies and advisers to the Vietcong and North Vietnamese forces. However, they are unlikely to commit their own military forces to direct combat, as they are aware of the potential for a wider war with the US. Instead, they will likely continue to use in- direct means, such as guerrilla warfare and political subversion, to further their goals in the region. 30. In the longer term, the Chinese Communists will likely continue to pursue their ultimate goals of eliminating US influence from the Far East and establishing themselves as the dominant power in the region. They may attempt to do so through a combination of overt and covert means, including military action if they believe they can do so with minimal risk. However, they are also likely to continue to use political warfare and sub- version as their primary means of expanding their influence in the region. divisions, 16 artillery divisions, and 4 inde- pendent artillery regiments. These forces are supported by 6-7 million militia, of whom about 2.5 million are organized into 26 army-level militia units and about 1 million into 13 provincial-level militia units. The remainder are in local units. The Chinese Communists continue to organize and train new militia units. 2. The principal changes in the Chinese Communist ground forces during the past year have been in the artillery and the air- borne forces. The artillery has been strength- ened by the addition of about 70 new self- propelled battalions, equipped with Soviet 122-mm and 152-mm guns. The airbome forces have been expanded by the addition of a third airborne division, and the two existing divisions have been upgraded to higher standards of training and equipment. The Chinese Communists also have formed a number of special-purpose units and have improved their amphibious capabilities. 3. The Chinese Communist Army is com- posed of 28 military regions, of which 23 are on the mainland, 3 in Taiwan, and 2 in the Taiwan Strait islands. The principal ground forces in the military regions are 12 field armies, 4 artillery armies, and 6 artillery corps. The field armies are composed of 85 regular divisions and 11 independent regi- ments, and the artillery armies and corps contain more than 2,500 guns and mortars. The remaining 6 military regions in Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait islands are garrisoned by 73 infantry and 9 artillery divisions, 6 independent regiments, and about 1 million militia. 4. The Chinese Communists have 3 types of ground combat units: regular, militia, and local. Regular units are composed of men under 30 years of age who serve for a mini- mum of 3 years. They are the best trained, best equipped, and most reliable of the Chinese Communist forces. Militia units are composed of men between 30 and 35 years of age who have had 6 months of military train- ing. Local units are composed of men over 35 years of age who have had 2 weeks of military training. These local units are used primarily for local defense and security and are not considered combat forces. 5. The Chinese Communists have made significant improvements in their artillery forces during the past year. They have strengthened their artillery forces by the addition of 70 new self-propelled battalions, bringing the total number of such units to about 130. These new battalions are equipped with Soviet 122-mm and 152-mm guns. The Chinese Communists have also increased their stocks of medium and heavy artillery ammunition. They are now believed to have a 30-day supply of medium and heavy ammu- nition on hand, as compared to a 20-day supply a year ago. This increase in stocks has been made possible by the completion of new ammunition plants and the expansion of existing plants. 6. The Chinese Communists have also improved their artillery training. They have extended the range of their artillery by about 50 percent, and have improved their ability to employ artillery in support of infantry operations. They have also in- creased their proficiency in night firing and in the use of artillery in support of am- phibious operations. 7. The Chinese Communist airbome forces have been expanded by the addition of a third airborne division. The two existing divisions have been upgraded to higher standards of training and equipment. The Chinese Communists have also increased their airborne training, emphasizing night operations, and have improved their air- borne communication capabilities. 8. The Chinese Communists have improved their amphibious capabilities by the addi- tion of a number of special-purpose units. They have also constructed new amphibious training facilities and have increased their amphibious training. They have increased their emphasis on night amphibious opera- tions and on the use of amphibious forces in the seizure of offshore islands. They have also improved their amphibious lift capa- bilities by the addition of new landing craft. 9. The Chinese Communists have also strengthened their ground forces by the addition of new weapons. They have intro- duced the Soviet 122-mm and 152-mm guns into their artillery units, and have added new tanks, self-propelled guns, and anti- tank guns to their armored units. They have also introduced a new 120-mm mortar, a new medium machine gun, and a new automatic rifle into their infantry units. 10. The Chinese Communists have also improved their logistic support. They have constructed new roads and railroads and have improved existing ones. They have constructed new bridges and have improved existing ones. They have also improved their transportation capabilities by the addition of new trucks and rail cars. They have also added new POL pipelines and storage facilities. 11. The Chinese Communist Army is equipped with a wide variety of weapons, including Soviet, US, and Chinese-made weapons. The Chinese Communists have been producing weapons for their ground forces since 1953, and their production rates have been increasing steadily. In 1960 they produced 2,000 tanks and 5,000 artillery pieces. In 1961 they are estimated to have produced 2,500 tanks and 6,000 artillery pieces. They also produce mortars, machine guns, automatic rifles, and other infantry weapons. They are also producing small quantities of 122-mm and 152-mm guns. 12. The Chinese Communists have been producing tanks since 1958, and their pro- duction rates have been increasing steadily. In 1960 they produced about 2,000 tanks, and in 1961 they are estimated to have pro- duced 2,500 tanks. They are now producing two types of tanks. The T-34/85, which is the Chinese Communist main battle tank, is produced in two plants. The T-54, which is the Chinese Communist medium tank, is produced in one plant. Chinese Communist tanks are generally inferior to Soviet tanks of similar types, but they represent a signifi- cant improvement over the Chinese Com- munist tanks of the Korean War period. 13. The Chinese Communists have been producing artillery since 1953, and their production rates have been increasing steadily. In 1960 they produced about 5,000 artillery pieces, and in 1961 they are esti- mated to have produced 6,000 artillery pieces. The Chinese Communists now pro- duce 122-mm and 152-mm guns in two plants, and 130-mm guns in one plant. They also produce n any future conflict difficult. 7. The Chinese Communists have placed a high priority on the air defense of their key urban and industrial centers. In addition to the AA guns, they have a growing force of surface-to-air missiles (SAM). In 1961 the Chinese announced the establishment of 8 SAM regiments. The first of these is probably now operational and the others are in various stages of training and equipping. The Chi- nese have also produced a small quantity of surface-to-surface missiles (SSM) and have announced the formation of 5 SSM regiments. The first of these is probably now opera- tional. The Chinese Communists have also acquired a small number of IL-28 bombers from the USSR and have produced a small number of TU-4 bombers from the Soviet tooling and components left in China. These aircraft are capable of carrying atomic bombs. 8. The Chinese Communist Air Force has been training intensively for a number of years and, if the Chinese Communists have acquired atomic weapons, we believe that they would be willing to use them in the event of a major war in the Far East. The Chinese Communists have a capability for delivering atomic bombs by air, but the amount and quality of training for this mis- sion is not known. 9. The Chinese Communists have a limited capability for conducting air operations against naval forces. Their air force includes a small number of TU-4 bombers, capable of carrying atomic bombs, and IL-28 bombers which are capable of carrying torpedoes. In addition, the Chinese Communists have some marginal capability for conducting torpedo bombing and glide bombing attacks with their fighter-bombers. However, their aircraft are not equipped with the necessary navigational and attack aids to permit them to operate effectively at night or under adverse weather conditions. Furthermore, the Chinese Com- munists do not have any aircraft capable of conducting air-to-surface missile attacks against naval forces. 10. The Chinese Communist Naval Air Force has a limited capability for conducting anti-submarine warfare operations, using aircraft of the IL-28 type equipped with dipping sonar. However, the effectiveness of this type of aircraft in conducting anti-sub- marine warfare operations is limited. The Chinese Communists have no aircraft capa- ble of conducting airborne early warning operations. 11. Overall, the Chinese Communist air forces are a formidable force with a large number of aircraft and a growing capability for air defense and limited offensive operations. However, their training and logistics capabilities are still limited and may hinder their effectiveness in prolonged operations. Additionally, their air forces have some limitations in conducting operations against naval forces and in conducting certain types of air operations. The Chinese Communist ground forces consist of an estimated 2.6 million personnel, with a mix of infantry, armor, and airborne units. The majority of these forces are organized into divisions, with each division consisting of three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and supporting units. The infantry divisions are estimated to have a strength of 15,000 soldiers, while the armored divisions have a strength of 6,600 soldiers. The airborne units have a strength of 7,000 soldiers each. The Chinese Communist ground forces lack advanced weaponry and are primarily focused on defensive operations. However, they have a significant number of troops and could potentially launch amphibious assaults against offshore islands. Their overall capabilities are limited by a shortage of major surface and minesweeping craft, and a lack of auxiliary forces for extended operations. Additionally, their advanced weapons capabilities are currently limited, with no nuclear weapons and only the beginning of a missile capability. - 9 2 3 2 1 1 2 4 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Sid Vowt pert we? a: se 9 3. wh whe wee"" sanvenay You RN ""aAuasae: you are i am the 'sy aionvels Q , » JO very very proud and happy? ented, a aware?

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.

In the case of the GRC, the briefing serves the essential function of minimizing Taipei's concern about our policy; in the other cases, the practice is consistent with our exchanges with these close allies on other matters and with our need to obtain similar information from them about their own relations with Peking. Over the years, these governments have invariably respected the confidential nature of our briefings. We plan to see officers from each of the five embassies today and tomorrow, feeling it essential to do so promptly to maintain our credibility with them. We plan to brief them in general terms. We would state that we expressed our wish to reduce tensions in Asia and specifically our desire for improvement in our relations with Peking. We reaffirmed our neutrality in the Sino-Soviet dispute and our desire to improve relations with both Peking and Moscow. We recalled our moves in 1989 to liberalize trade and a number of other proposals for exchanges and communication between the United States and mainland China. We expressed interest in learning Chinese views on disarmament and our hope for further discussions on this subject. We also reiterated our commitment to peace in the Taiwan area while maintaining our unchanged commitments to the GRC. Finally, we renewed our concern for Americans being held in Communist China and urged their release. We also sought Peking's cooperation in the identification of Americans missing in China. In reporting on the Chinese response, we would say that they reiterated in detail their position with respect to Taiwan and their claim that it was the United States' position on this issue which prevented further progress towards improving Sino-US relations. However, they did this in a non-polemic fashion and left the door open for further contacts and discussions.

PREFACE (U) Military science, including military operations research (MOR) and systems engineering, was embraced by the Chinese in the early 1980s. Since that time, Chinese developments in the area and their efforts to develop simulations have followed those of the West. These efforts have played, and continue to play, an important role in China's modernization efforts, and they have permeated all aspects of defense planning and building in China. This technology alert provides an introduction to the development of MOR in China; identifies key Chinese research institutes and think tanks involved with MOR; describes MOR-related products with emphasis on tactical engagement simulations and training simulators; identifies the effects of technology transfer on Chinese MOR efforts; discusses the quality and success of Chinese efforts in MOR; and forecasts the future of MOR in China relative to China's modernization efforts, technology developments, and limitations. (U) Simulation systems can include a variety of systems ranging from a mathematical model to a computer-based system to a physical mockup of the original system. For the purposes of this study, the terms simulation and simulator refer to systems that, based on our research, appear to incorporate the use of a computer(s) to emulate the function(s) of a system or the processes involved in a specific operation. 2000 and a study to determine the types of weapons China will need in the year 2000. @ (U) The Chinese use of computer-based war games and simulations has been limited to internal use, primarily by the People’s Liberation Army. However, some commercially available Western computer games have been used for training purposes. @ (U) China is looking to the United States and other Western countries for assistance in developing its MOR programs. This is evident in the Chinese use of foreign consultants, the purchase of foreign software, and the study of Western military journals. @ (U) China’s MOR programs are expected to continue to grow in scope and complexity in the next decade. This growth will be driven by China’s desire to keep pace with Western military developments and to modernize its armed forces. @ (U) The Chinese will continue to use MOR methods to support their defense research and development efforts. This will be particularly true in the areas of weapons development, defense planning, and military training. PLA’s first automated command and control system was installed in the Nanjing Military Region. @ (VU) China is building numerous centers and laboratories for developing simulators and conducting simulations. Many of these centers are world-class facilities, whose officers are aggressively seeking foreign investment and aid. @ (U) The United States has been a major supplier of MOR technology to China, followed by the former Soviet Union. e (U) China's current simulators are assessed to be 5 to 10 years behind world standards. The lack of computing power will be the major obstacle for China to become a world leader in MOR. If restrictions on the export of computers to China are lifted, China can be expected to rapidly become a world leader. With the restrictions remaining in place, China can be expected to continue to follow the state-of-the-art in MOR but remain several years behind in actual developments and applications. @ (VU) China’s commitment to training simulators and simulation systems in the military and civilian sectors, to reducing military costs, and to modernizing its military will foster future developments in Chinese training simulators and simulation systems. These systems will be key indicators of future Chinese weapon systems, tactics, and defense strategies.

(U) China’s history in military operations research (MOR) dates back at least to the 5th century B.C. when the philosopher Sun Wu observed: Now the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple, ere the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. - Despite this legacy in MOR, organized efforts at studying and employing operations research (OR) within China did not occur until 1956 when China’s first OR group was organized under the guidance of Qian Xuesen, a US-trained scientist. developments did not occur until after the Cultural Revolution and the ina’s plan for four modernizations in the late 1970s. The objectives of this plan were to double China’s gross national product by the year 2000 and quadruple production in four areas: agriculture, industry, science and technology, and defense. These objectives are representative of China's shift from an emphasis on war preparation to economic construction and force modernization. Coincident with this shift were reductions in defense spending. These factors all resulted in the realization by Chinese military leaders and planners of the importance of OR methods in determining future weapon needs and acquisition strategies and avoiding duplication and incompatibility of weapon systems. A 1979 speech titled “Military System Engineering” by H. S. Tsien to high-ranking People’s Liberation Army (PLA) officers addressed many of the advantages of OR methods in military planning. Tsien stated: Tactical simulation techniques provide an ‘operational laboratory’ in essence, in which simulated operational environment is made use of to experiment on tactics and plans, to examine their weaknesses, to predict their effect, to assess weapon systems operational efficiency, and to inspire new operational concepts. Tactical simulation techniques lead the systems engineering methodologies of modeling, simulations, and optimization into military decision making. c. Figure 1 shows significant MOR-related events within China during the 1980s. A 5-year plan for development and production of simulated training equipment for the PLA was drafted in 1981 as a result of a new strategic policy adopted by the Central Military Commission (CMC) and a paper by Zhang Zhen, currently vice-chairman of the CMC, calling for training reforms and emphasizing the use of simulators and audio-visual equipment for training. In 1986, production of electronic training equipment replaced capital construction as a priority goal, and the PLA’s first automated command and control system was installed in the Nanjing Military Region. weapon effects. @ Develop and improve tactical and operational theories;

Simulation recently developed TES continue to be modular in design, often building on previous work and models. However, these simulations are usually intended for combined-arms operations. The TES can now provide more detail on force structure, both friendly and enemy. Tactics for attack and defense, the relative strength of friend and enemy in terms of troop strength and firepower, operation of various service arms and branches, topographical and road conditions, weather, equipment performance, attrition of weapons and ammunition, number of killed and wounded in action, and logistics support capability are often incorporated into the system. Simulation capabilities include situation estimates, positions of friend and enemy, results of reconnaissance activities, military operations and feedback of results, quantitative analysis of the war situation, voice transmittal, and image displays. The system can also rapidly display the changing features of the operational environment (including air and ground) in an environment resembling a real war. Many of the simulations are executed in real time, often with enhanced audio-visual aids such as large-screen displays. The models are written in more advanced programming languages than their predecessors (e.g., Turbo C, Turbo Prolog, and Ada) and are beginning to utilize expert systems and artificial intelligence (AI).

(1) (U) Chinese ground forces began an aggressive program to develop advanced training simulators in 1984. The navy, air force, and Second Artillery quickly followed their lead with similar programs. These programs initiated the first phase (1984-87) of GSD's plan to develop training simulation systems and integrate them into all aspects of PLA training with a complete training system developed by 1993. Each service has rapidly moved ahead with simulators designed to cover all aspects of its individual combat responsibilities. In 1985, the Chinese conducted a tactical confrontation exercise involving ground and air units and employing a number of simulators. Similar exercises were conducted by the air force in 1986 and the navy in 1987. Between 1985 and 1987, simulator design advanced from tactical training to strategic training simulators, including a computerized campaign operations command simulation system for training in decision making. NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS Many of the training simulators are also used for parameter studies and system and operational analysis. The second phase of GSD's plan (1987-89) focused on integrating individual simulations into larger organic systems and consolidating simulator development throughout the services. (2) (U) Figure 4 identifies the various types of simulators employed by the ground forces. The command-and-control simulators include campaign simulation systems that can simulate various tactical confrontations. Some simulations include aspects of logistics, data and information processing and display, as well as decision-making support for commanders and their staffs. The tactical simulations may include simulators for training in tactical communications, target tracking, or electromagnetic-pulse protection.

PREFACE (U) Military science, including military operations research (MOR) and systems engineering, was embraced by the Chinese in the early 1980s. Since that time, Chinese developments in the area and their efforts to develop simulations have followed those of the West. These efforts have played, and continue to play, an important role in China's modernization efforts, and they have permeated all aspects of defense planning and building in China. This technology alert provides an introduction to the development of MOR in China; identifies key Chinese research institutes and think tanks involved with MOR; describes MOR-related products with emphasis on tactical engagement simulations and training simulators; identifies the effects of technology transfer on Chinese MOR efforts; discusses the quality and success of Chinese efforts in MOR; and forecasts the future of MOR in China relative to China's modernization efforts, technology developments, and limitations. (U) Simulation systems can include a variety of systems ranging from a mathematical model to a computer-based system to a physical mockup of the original system. For the purposes of this study, the terms simulation and simulator refer to systems that, based on our research, appear to incorporate the use of a computer(s) to emulate the function(s) of a system or the processes involved in a specific operation. 2000 and a study to determine the types of weapons China will need in the year 2000. @ (U) The Chinese use of computer-based war games and simulations has been limited to internal use, primarily by the People’s Liberation Army. However, some commercially available Western computer games have been used for training purposes. @ (U) China is looking to the United States and other Western countries for assistance in developing its MOR programs. This is evident in the Chinese use of foreign consultants, the purchase of foreign software, and the study of Western military journals. @ (U) China’s MOR programs are expected to continue to grow in scope and complexity in the next decade. This growth will be driven by China’s desire to keep pace with Western military developments and to modernize its armed forces. @ (U) The Chinese will continue to use MOR methods to support their defense research and development efforts. This will be particularly true in the areas of weapons development, defense planning, and military training. PLA’s first automated command and control system was installed in the Nanjing Military Region. @ (VU) China is building numerous centers and laboratories for developing simulators and conducting simulations. Many of these centers are world-class facilities, whose officers are aggressively seeking foreign investment and aid. @ (U) The United States has been a major supplier of MOR technology to China, followed by the former Soviet Union. e (U) China's current simulators are assessed to be 5 to 10 years behind world standards. The lack of computing power will be the major obstacle for China to become a world leader in MOR. If restrictions on the export of computers to China are lifted, China can be expected to rapidly become a world leader. With the restrictions remaining in place, China can be expected to continue to follow the state-of-the-art in MOR but remain several years behind in actual developments and applications. @ (VU) China’s commitment to training simulators and simulation systems in the military and civilian sectors, to reducing military costs, and to modernizing its military will foster future developments in Chinese training simulators and simulation systems. These systems will be key indicators of future Chinese weapon systems, tactics, and defense strategies.

(U) China’s history in military operations research (MOR) dates back at least to the 5th century B.C. when the philosopher Sun Wu observed: Now the general who wins a battle makes many calculations in his temple, ere the battle is fought. The general who loses a battle makes but few calculations beforehand. - Despite this legacy in MOR, organized efforts at studying and employing operations research (OR) within China did not occur until 1956 when China’s first OR group was organized under the guidance of Qian Xuesen, a US-trained scientist. developments did not occur until after the Cultural Revolution and the ina’s plan for four modernizations in the late 1970s. The objectives of this plan were to double China’s gross national product by the year 2000 and quadruple production in four areas: agriculture, industry, science and technology, and defense. These objectives are representative of China's shift from an emphasis on war preparation to economic construction and force modernization. Coincident with this shift were reductions in defense spending. These factors all resulted in the realization by Chinese military leaders and planners of the importance of OR methods in determining future weapon needs and acquisition strategies and avoiding duplication and incompatibility of weapon systems. A 1979 speech titled “Military System Engineering” by H. S. Tsien to high-ranking People’s Liberation Army (PLA) officers addressed many of the advantages of OR methods in military planning. Tsien stated: Tactical simulation techniques provide an ‘operational laboratory’ in essence, in which simulated operational environment is made use of to experiment on tactics and plans, to examine their weaknesses, to predict their effect, to assess weapon systems operational efficiency, and to inspire new operational concepts. Tactical simulation techniques lead the systems engineering methodologies of modeling, simulations, and optimization into military decision making. c. Figure 1 shows significant MOR-related events within China during the 1980s. A 5-year plan for development and production of simulated training equipment for the PLA was drafted in 1981 as a result of a new strategic policy adopted by the Central Military Commission (CMC) and a paper by Zhang Zhen, currently vice-chairman of the CMC, calling for training reforms and emphasizing the use of simulators and audio-visual equipment for training. In 1986, production of electronic training equipment replaced capital construction as a priority goal, and the PLA’s first automated command and control system was installed in the Nanjing Military Region. weapon effects. @ Develop and improve tactical and operational theories;

Overall, China's involvement in MOR and simulation has grown significantly since the 1970s, with the establishment of various organizations and facilities dedicated to research, training, and development in these areas. This growth indicates China's recognition of the importance of MOR and simulation in modern warfare and its commitment to developing these capabilities. simulations. Simulation recently developed TES continue to be modular in design, often building on previous work and models. However, these simulations are usually intended for combined-arms operations. The TES can now provide more detail on force structure, both friendly and enemy. Tactics for attack and defense, the relative strength of friend and enemy in terms of troop strength and firepower, operation of various service arms and branches, topographical and road conditions, weather, equipment performance, attrition of weapons and ammunition, number of killed and wounded in action, and logistics support capability are often incorporated into the system. Simulation capabilities include situation estimates, positions of friend and enemy, results of reconnaissance activities, military operations and feedback of results, quantitative analysis of the war situation, voice transmittal, and image displays. The system can also rapidly display the changing features of the operational environment (including air and ground) in an environment resembling a real war. Many of the simulations are executed in real time, often with enhanced audio-visual aids such as large-screen displays. The models are written in more advanced programming languages than their predecessors (e.g., Turbo C, Turbo Prolog, and Ada) and are beginning to utilize expert systems and artificial intelligence (AI). NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS Figure 3. (U) Typical System Configuration for Chinese TES. 4. Training Simulators (U) a. Ground Forces (U). (1) (U) Chinese ground forces began an aggressive program to develop advanced training simulators in 1984. The navy, air force, and Second Artillery quickly followed their lead with similar programs. These programs initiated the first phase (1984-87) of GSD's plan to develop training simulation systems and integrate them into all aspects of PLA training with a complete training system developed by 1993. Each service has rapidly moved ahead with simulators designed to cover all aspects of its individual combat responsibilities. In 1985, the Chinese conducted a tactical confrontation exercise involving ground and air units and employing a number of simulators. Similar exercises were conducted by the air force in 1986 and the navy in 1987. Between 1985 and 1987, simulator design advanced from tactical training to strategic training simulators, including a computerized campaign operations command simulation system for training in decision making. NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS Many of the training simulators are also used for parameter studies and system and operational analysis. The second phase of GSD's plan (1987-89) focused on integrating individual simulations into larger organic systems and consolidating simulator development throughout the services. (2) (U) Figure 4 identifies the various types of simulators employed by the ground forces. The command-and-control simulators include campaign simulation systems that can simulate various tactical confrontations. Some simulations include aspects of logistics, data and information processing and display, as well as decision-making support for commanders and their staffs. The tactical simulations may include simulators for training in tactical communications, target tracking, or electromagnetic-pulse protection.

More than 21 kinds of tank training simulators have been developed and are used to simulate tanks, electrically driven tanks, tank driving, tank electrical circuits, etc. The (U) The navy also has simulators for anti-submarine warfare, mine warfare, and amphibious operations. These simulators are used for training in sonar operations, mine detection and disposal, and amphibious assault planning and execution. Additionally, the navy has recently developed simulators for shipboard damage control and firefighting training. (2) (U) The navy has also developed a series of flight simulators for training naval aviators. These simulators include systems for fighter jets, helicopters, and maritime patrol aircraft. They allow for training in flight maneuvers, carrier landings, and anti-submarine warfare tactics. (3) (U) Other training simulators in the navy's inventory include those for submarine rescue and salvage operations, as well as simulators for naval gunnery and anti-aircraft operations. (4) (U) Overall, the navy has made significant strides in developing advanced training simulators in recent years, but they are still considered to be behind Western standards. The navy has also faced challenges in maintaining and updating these simulators due to budget constraints. However, efforts are underway to modernize and expand the navy's training simulator capabilities. b. (U) Former Soviet Union (U). (1) (U) During the 1960s, the Chinese began to develop a force-on-force model to analyze the Sino-Soviet border conflict. The Chinese developed a confrontation model, the primary purpose of which was to analyze the effects of different weapons systems in a force-on-force situation. The model was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Chinese military establishment and to evaluate the effectiveness of weapons systems against the Soviet military. (2) (U) The Chinese have also studied the Soviet concept of ""operational art"" and have developed an operational model to analyze offensive and defensive operations. The model is designed to analyze the effectiveness of different weapons systems against the US military. (3) (U) Soviet models have been used extensively in the development of Chinese models and simulations. The Chinese have been most interested in Soviet models of combat operations and Soviet methods of modeling and simulation. (4) (U) Soviet models have also been used to develop Chinese models for analyzing logistics and transportation operations. The Chinese have been most interested in Soviet models of logistics and transportation operations. 15 NOT RELEASABLE TO FO NATIONALS - 21 Characteristics. One of BISE's roles in the OR communities is to apply this philosophy to Chinese model and simulation efforts. However, with the number of simulators, particularly training simulators, and the obvious duplications in efforts within and between the military services, BISE has had little success in (4) (VU) Based on the performance of high-technology weapons and reports on the use of various models and a computerized decision-making support system by the United States during the Gulf War, Chinese interest in US and Western simulator and model developments has increased significantly. b. FSU (1) FSU has been another source of OR training and information, especially during China's early years in the field. Many Chinese researchers studied modeling and simulation at Soviet institutes during the 1950s and 1960s. Two books believed to have had a profound effect on Chinese OR studies were written by Venttsel and Tsuyev, respectively, and translated into Chinese between 1974 and 1976. (2) (U) A recent visit to the Beijing Simulation Center by the First Vice Chairman of the Ministerial Council of the FSU and a leading missile design engineer may result in a joint venture between China and the FSU. According to the Chinese press, the visitors were impressed by the center and stated that its missile manufacturing laboratory is 10 years ahead of that of the FSU and the surface-to-air laboratory is at least 5 years ahead of counterpart FSU facilities. ted to focus (3) on Future Chinese efforts at acquiring FSU OR technology are expected to focus on quick upgrades to current Chinese systems. 7. Future Chinese Efforts in OR (U) a. (U) Based on papers presented at the Second Beijing International Conference on System Simulation and Scientific Computing in October 1992, defense applications continue to be a primary focus of Chinese simulation research. Key among these are simulations involving aircraft, ship, missile, and radar systems.

The command-and-control systems cover various aspects of campaign operations including command and decision-level skills for tactical- and campaign-level operations. Training simulators for warship, torpedo, and missile attack may include one or more of the following features: analysis of target hits, summary of torpedo track, and simulation of missile targets. The radar and navigation training simulators simulate collision situations and/or other aspects of navigation for ship-steering training. Submarine training simulators cover sonar and radio operations, submarine tactics, submarine nuclear powerplant, torpedo assault, and navigation. Naval air force and AD simulators provide training in flight simulations and firing of AD missiles. Other simulators simulate diesel-engine technical problems and the acoustical ocean environment and underwater targets. d. Second Artillery Corps (U). (1) (VU) The Second Artillery Corps has developed a variety of simulation systems for training launch battalions and guided-missile brigades (see fig 7). The corps also possesses a complete range of simulators for specialized training of personnel operating all types of PLA guided-missile systems. (2) (U) The command-and-control training simulators of the Second Artillery Corps typically simulate the processes associated with a guided-missile test launch and related problems. Other training simulation systems provide training for guided-missile-unit launches, with emphasis on decision making, launch preparations, and guided-missile flight simulations. The guided-missile “gy, and simulation, the Chinese are concerned about the following: (1) (U) The development of a military-wide network linking operational training simulators and the need for standardization of simulation systems.

"Hello doctor, I am 18 years old and I have been prone to masturbating for the past three years, and now I have erectile dysfunction. Is there any way I can treat this without any medication or any surgery? I have not consulted any doctor yet. Hello. Masturbation is normal and does not cause physical problems or sexual problems. Also, do not give any importance to an advertisement that mentions that masturbation cause health problems or destroys life, and masturbation does not require any treatment. Erectile dysfunction can be due to stress or anxiety or due to a physical cause. For physical cause, you need to do some blood tests like sugar and hormones. Stop smoking if you smoke. If you are taking any medicine or nutritional supplement on regular basis then it may be due to the side effect of that.

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.

Lately when I seem to get upset or even subconsciously angry or anxiety or stressed, my right ear starts feeling like there is wind rush through my ear, or like if my heart is beating at my ear. But this only happens to my right ear. Any reason for this? My blood pressure reading when this is happening is 141/90. Hello,This happens even to common people. The reason that one ear is more involved can be due to some unspecific reasons like normal bodily variations in two parts...like even both hands or legs are not completely similar to each other.Now, this is happening due to anxiety itself.

Lately when I seem to get upset or even subconsciously angry or anxiety or stressed, my right ear starts feeling like there is wind rush through my ear, or like if my heart is beating at my ear. But this only happens to my right ear. Any reason for this? My blood pressure reading when this is happening is 141/90. Hello,This happens even to common people. The reason that one ear is more involved can be due to some unspecific reasons like normal bodily variations in two parts...like even both hands or legs are not completely similar to each other.Now, this is happening due to anxiety itself.

My muscles are sore throughout my body. Been having this for 7 years including 2 Carpal Tunnel operations as well as a neck operation. They also did a Risotomy procedure . Any ideas? I live on grandpa powders and pain killers. Hi,Thanks for writing in.It looks like you had rhizotomy procedure done for neck pain. In this procedure the selected nerve roots are blocked and this reduces the pain. As you have been having this neck pain for 7 years and now headache and tingling have also started therefore it will help to go back to your neurosurgeon and get a MRI scan of cervical spine done. This will show any new developments and disc changes that require attention and treatment so that your pain is treated. New procedures like laser assisted disc surgery and radiofrequency ablation are in use to release pressure over the pinched nerve roots and block the pain sensations in the area. These are well accepted by many patients and please discuss these treatments as you have already had a neck surgery without much relief in symptoms. Since it might be surgically difficult to decompress the nerves at various levels, doing radiofrequency ablation of nerve roots might be a better choice.",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"Good morning, I have the worst headaches starting at the back of my neck going all the way to the top of my head associated with needles and pins in my hands and feet.

Now when I get hot my eye draws shut my right side of my face pulls up, the right temple hurts bad and my left arm hurts and starts to tingle!! It s weird that all this happens as soon as I walk outside when the temperatures are high!! Hi, The onset or worsening of neurological symptoms involving cranial nerves with heat as a trigger is called Uhthoff's phenomenon. It is not clear to me that the Bell's palsy is exactly tied to what is happening and in fact, there is a chance that you are not suffering from true Bell's palsy to begin with but rather a central nervous system mimicker. My recommendation is that you speak with your primary doctor and ask to be referred to a Neurologist for the purpose of going back and relooking at the diagnosis of Bell's Palsy in the light of your neurological symptoms which are exacerbated by heat. There is a good chance the neurologist will order tests and studies on you such as an MRI of the brain and cervical spinal cord with Gadolinium contrast. This may disclose the reason for these problems. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

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.

A week or so ago, I had a swollen one just behind my ear, on the same side if I remember correctly My tonsils were giving me some trouble a few months ago, and I had anti-biotics to rid my infection, perhaps it is coming back? My dentist recommended that I had my tonsils removed quite some time ago, but another dentist I visited said that he would only consider removing them if I had persistent problems with them.So perhaps the swollen lymph node is something to do with this. I m 20 years of age, my diet has been somewhat poor the last couple of weeks, but otherwise I would say I am quite healthy in general.Thank you. Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..As per your complain in case if you have a recent history of throat infection and even if it is coming back also presently then there is a possibility that the swollen lymph nodes are due to Reactionary Lymphadinitis and it is not a serious condition and when you will take medication for treating the infection like antibiotics the swollen lymph nodes will resolve gradually..You should consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and get tested for bacterial infection [ rapid strep test] and viral infection [ rapid mono test] to rule out the exact cause of infection and treatment can be planned accordingly..If there are recurring episodes of the same then Tonsillectomy will only provide permanent relief..As of now do alternate warm and cool compresses over the lymph nodes..Hope this information helps..Thanks and regards.Dr. Honey Nandwani Arora.",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"HiI have just woken up, and noticed that a lymph node on the right side of my neck is swollen.

First of all, birth control pills itself help in controlling your PCOS with added lifestyle modifications like a balanced diet and physical exercise. So keep up the good effort but now you need to stop the pills. Check if you are ovulating regularly or not with the urine ovulation kits available in the market. If you are still not, you may need some fertility boosting medicines. Secondly, you need to do the following to prevent the BV to recur: 1. Avoid any kind of vaginal douches. These wash away the good bacteria as well, clean with normal water while taking the bath. 2. Have probiotics for two weeks to grow back the vaginal flora. 3. Use cotton panties and avoid using tampons. Use pads preferably. 4. Avoid oral sex from the male partner. 5. Need to use Metronidazole vaginal pessary for a week to clear the BV.

I feel my tonsils are doing more harm than good for me, should i get them removed? also what are the best home remedies for this? Hello, Welcome to HCM.I understand your concern.As a home remedy for tonsillitis, you should do gargles with warm salt water or with chlorhexidine & water in 1:3 dilution. They will not treat the viral infection but prevent super-added bacterial infection. You can also take lozenges available OTC. Also take plenty of water and warm liquids. Take paracetamol with ibuprofen for pain relief, fever and inflammation.You can get your tonsils removed if you have recurrent tonsillitis. You have said that you had this problem 6 times in 5 months. Guidelines about tonsillectomy says that it can be done if tonsillitis occurs 7 times or more in a year or 5 times or more per year for 2 years consecutively or 3 times or more per year for 3 years consecutively. So, see whether you fall in these criteria or not. Tonsillectomy can also be done if tonsillitis is severe and affecting day to day life. Consult a good ENT surgeon for the same and decide further.Hope this will be helpful.Do ask if any more question.Thanks for using HCM.

If I use Mometasone, it gives a good result. Is it okay to continue this? Hello. Acne is a universal issue in the age group of 15 to 25 years due to hormonal changes in adolescents. However, there are multiple effective treatment options depending on the grade and severity of the problem. Mometasone is a topical steroid and is to be avoided strictly on the face and for acne as it can harm your skin in the long run. Acne is dependent on hormones hence excess masturbation may sometimes lead to an increase in the problem.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the presence of pus cells and blood suggests urinary tract infection(UTI).UTI is most common infection seen in pregnancy.This is due to influence of hormones.Nothing to worry as it will subside with a course of antibiotics.You can as well go for urine culture and sensitivity to know the organism causing UTI and for accurate treatment.So relax.The untreated UTI might irritate the uterus leading to pain and other complications.But if treated it's not going to cause any problem.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day,cranberry juice to prevent UTI.Your blood parameters are also normal as slight variation might be there in pregnancy compared to normal state .Hope this helps.Best regards...",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"Hi Doc, I am 10 weeks pregnant just got my boold and urine analysis, m blood test have mchc count 35.4 and the normal range is 31-5 to 34.5 plus pdw is 14.1 a 0.1 higher than normal.

"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.

So PFT is needed. Chest x ray is needed to rule out any infection like TB present or not.And quit smoking as soon as possible.Chances of MDR TB is very low in your case as you had extra pulmonary (pericardial) TB.

The Poll Itself: The poll was taken in the first two weeks of August by the well-known Philippine pollster, Pedro C. Palanca, Jr. of the Philippine Research Bureau. It was commissioned by the Liberal Party and paid for by the Presidential Campaign Fund. The sample was 2,000 voters, who were interviewed in their homes by 50 interviewers. The sample was stratified according to the 1964 election returns, with the number of interviews in each province being determined by the number of voters in the 1964 election.

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 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 that 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.)

Secondly avoid cold drink to prevent such episodes in the future. Consult your doctor for more information." "confidence or confusion. I will not go into all of them, but I will mention a few. First, there is the Middle East. We had a policy of supporting Israel, which we have not changed. We have not changed our policy of supporting Israel, but we have changed our policy of not talking to the SECRET/NODIS/XGDS -3- Soviets. And we have done this because we believe the Soviet Union is playing a very dangerous game in the Middle East. They have encouraged the Arabs to believe that they can get their objectives by military means. We believe that this is a very dangerous game and that it is necessary to make clear to the Soviet Union that they cannot achieve their objectives by military means. Therefore, we have decided to talk to the Soviet Union and to try to reach an agreement with the Soviet Union, but not to change our basic policy of supporting Israel. We have made the Soviets understand that we will not permit a military victory by the Arabs. We have also made the Arabs understand that we will not permit a military victory by the Soviets. And we have made the Israelis understand that we will not permit a military victory by the Arabs. This is a very complicated game. We are trying to bring about a disengagement of forces. We have not yet succeeded in bringing about a disengagement of forces. But we have succeeded in making the Soviets understand that we are serious about this game and that they cannot achieve their objectives by military means. I mention this because it is a very serious issue. We are not trying to change the balance of power in the Middle East. We are not trying to achieve a military victory for either side. We are trying to bring about a situation in which neither side can achieve a military victory. Teng: That is right. Kissinger: This has been a very difficult process. We have not yet succeeded. But we have made the Soviet Union understand that we are serious. And we are now trying to make the Arabs understand that we are serious. Teng: That is right. Kissinger: The second issue is Vietnam. We have been negotiating with the North Vietnamese for two years. We have made some progress. We have not yet achieved an agreement. We have not yet achieved an agreement because the North Vietnamese have not yet agreed to a cease-fire. We have made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a cease-fire. We have also made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a political settlement. We have made it clear that we will not permit a military victory by the North Vietnamese. We have also made it clear that we will not permit the North Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. SECRET/NODIS/XGDS -4- Teng: That is right. Kissinger: This has been a very difficult process. We have not yet succeeded. We have not yet succeeded because the North Vietnamese have not yet agreed to a cease-fire. We have made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a cease-fire. We have also made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a political settlement. We have made it clear that we will not permit a military victory by the North Vietnamese. We have also made it clear that we will not permit the North Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit a military victory by the North Vietnamese. We have made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit the North Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means.

We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit the South Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. Teng: That is right. That is right. You have said so many times. Kissinger: [Laughter] I said it many times because it is a very complicated game. Teng: That is right. Kissinger: We have not yet succeeded. We have not yet succeeded because the North Vietnamese have not yet agreed to a cease-fire. We have made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a cease-fire. We have also made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a political settlement. We have made it clear that we will not permit a military victory by the North Vietnamese. We have also made it clear that we will not permit the North Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit a military victory by the North Vietnamese. We have made the South diplomatic to Syria. Eventually, there will be a return of territory to Syria. ARCHIVES In the area of Iran, I think things have gone approximately as we foresaw. Teng: May I insert a question here? Kissinger: Certainly. Teng: Have you decided with the Soviet Union when the Geneva Conference will be convened? Kissinger: No. Teng: I think the Soviet Union thinks it should be quicker and they will be attending. Kissinger: Yes, we spent 4 months preparing for it, and then it met one day, after which we closed it. [Laughter] The Soviet Union always urges us to hold it. Eventually, it will have to take place. I don't think it can possibly be before March. As long as the Arabs think they are making progress outside the Conference, they will be in no hurry to get there. No one wants it except the Soviet Union. They have an Ambassador in Geneva, Vinogradov, who spends all his time waiting for a conference that doesn't take place. We occasionally send Ambassador Bunker once every two months to keep him company there doing nothing. But we have not agreed on a resumption date. The earliest I could foresee would be March -- unless there is a total breakdown in the secret discussions now going on between Egypt and Israel and the other Arab countries and Israel through us. And I don't foresee such a breakdown. On Iran, as I have said, things have developed in the direction of my discussions with Chairman Mao and the Prime Minister last year. [Refreshments are brought in] SECRET/NODIS/XGDS DECLASSIFIED PRODUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES I was getting worried. No food was coming in for 20 minutes. [Laughter]. I didn't see how I was going to live through it. [Laughter]. [to Rumsfeld] See, I have gained 5 pounds here on every visit. We can discuss that in great detail too. I mean about Iran, not about food. [Laughter] In other parts of the world: I took a trip to India, as you know, As I explained to your Ambassador, my primary purpose was contributing to giving India another opening besides total reliance on the Soviet Union. Our assessment is India's intentions in Southeast Asia are hegemonial, and that they would like to reduce all neighboring countries to the status of Bhutan, and that we are not prepared to accept. Ch'iao: May I insert something here? As I recall it, the Doctor made a speech to some scholarly association in which he said about the leading position of India on the sub-continent. Kissinger: No, I said that India, as the strongest country on the sub- continent had a special obligation for restraint. And the intention was to point out the necessity for restraint. At any rate, we intend during the first half of next year to resume some cash arms sales to Pakistan which will restore some relationship. I will probably have to shoot half of Mr. Lord's staff before we can execute this. But that is the direction in which we are moving. We have invited Prime Minister Bhutto to Washington, and within a few months after that we will do it. Now, two events that have happened since last year that we did not discuss are the internationalization of the problem of energy, and the problem of food. We are prepared in principle to discuss these issues with you, and to explain our views to you. They are areas in which we know you are sensitive to some statements that have been made by us. We are not indifferent to criticisms that are fired at us with respect to these issues. And I think we should attempt to avoid unnecessary confrontations, because we have to solve the energy problem, not for ourselves, but because if it continues in its present form it will lead to the political disintegration of Western Europe. We can solve it for ourselves easily -- relatively easily. SECRET/NODIS/XGDS Teng: That is all right. Kissinger: I will drop Mr. Lord. Teng: That is all right.

Teng: An agreement on quantity and not quality! [Laughter]. {The Meeting ended}",Confidential,DISC_Security,"confidence or confusion. I will not go into all of them, but I will mention a few. First, there is the Middle East. We had a policy of supporting Israel, which we have not changed. We have not changed our policy of supporting Israel, but we have changed our policy of not talking to the SECRET/NODIS/XGDS -3- Soviets. And we have done this because we believe the Soviet Union is playing a very dangerous game in the Middle East. They have encouraged the Arabs to believe that they can get their objectives by military means. We believe that this is a very dangerous game and that it is necessary to make clear to the Soviet Union that they cannot achieve their objectives by military means. Therefore, we have decided to talk to the Soviet Union and to try to reach an agreement with the Soviet Union, but not to change our basic policy of supporting Israel. We have made the Soviets understand that we will not permit a military victory by the Arabs. We have also made the Arabs understand that we will not permit a military victory by the Soviets. And we have made the Israelis understand that we will not permit a military victory by the Arabs. This is a very complicated game. We are trying to bring about a disengagement of forces. We have not yet succeeded in bringing about a disengagement of forces. But we have succeeded in making the Soviets understand that we are serious about this game and that they cannot achieve their objectives by military means. I mention this because it is a very serious issue. We are not trying to change the balance of power in the Middle East. We are not trying to achieve a military victory for either side. We are trying to bring about a situation in which neither side can achieve a military victory. Teng: That is right. Kissinger: This has been a very difficult process. We have not yet succeeded. But we have made the Soviet Union understand that we are serious. And we are now trying to make the Arabs understand that we are serious. Teng: That is right. Kissinger: The second issue is Vietnam. We have been negotiating with the North Vietnamese for two years. We have made some progress. We have not yet achieved an agreement. We have not yet achieved an agreement because the North Vietnamese have not yet agreed to a cease-fire. We have made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a cease-fire. We have also made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a political settlement. We have made it clear that we will not permit a military victory by the North Vietnamese. We have also made it clear that we will not permit the North Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. SECRET/NODIS/XGDS -4- Teng: That is right. Kissinger: This has been a very difficult process. We have not yet succeeded. We have not yet succeeded because the North Vietnamese have not yet agreed to a cease-fire. We have made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a cease-fire. We have also made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a political settlement. We have made it clear that we will not permit a military victory by the North Vietnamese. We have also made it clear that we will not permit the North Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit a military victory by the North Vietnamese. We have made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit the North Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit the South Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit the South Viet- namese to achieve their objectives by military means. Teng: That is right. Kissinger: This has been a very difficult process. We have not yet succeeded. We have not yet succeeded because the North Vietnamese have not yet agreed to a cease-fire.

We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit a military victory by the North Vietnamese. We have made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit the North Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. We have also made the South Vietnamese under- stand that we will not permit the South Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit the South Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. Teng: That is right. Kissinger: We have also made the South Vietnamese under- stand that we will not permit the North Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit the South Viet- namese to achieve their objectives by military means. SECRET/NODIS/XGDS -5- Teng: That is right. Kissinger: We have also made the South Vietnamese under- stand that we will not permit the North Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit the South Viet- namese to achieve their objectives by military means. We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit the South Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. Teng: That is right. That is right. You have said so many times. Kissinger: [Laughter] I said it many times because it is a very complicated game. Teng: That is right. Kissinger: We have not yet succeeded. We have not yet succeeded because the North Vietnamese have not yet agreed to a cease-fire. We have made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a cease-fire. We have also made it clear to the North Vietnamese that we will not agree to a cease-fire until they agree to a political settlement. We have made it clear that we will not permit a military victory by the North Vietnamese. We have also made it clear that we will not permit the North Vietnamese to achieve their objectives by military means. We have also made the South Vietnamese understand that we will not permit a military victory by the North Vietnamese. We have made the South diplomatic to Syria. Eventually, there will be a return of territory to Syria. ARCHIVES In the area of Iran, I think things have gone approximately as we foresaw. Teng: May I insert a question here? Kissinger: Certainly. Teng: Have you decided with the Soviet Union when the Geneva Conference will be convened? Kissinger: No. Teng: I think the Soviet Union thinks it should be quicker and they will be attending. Kissinger: Yes, we spent 4 months preparing for it, and then it met one day, after which we closed it. [Laughter] The Soviet Union always urges us to hold it. Eventually, it will have to take place. I don't think it can possibly be before March. As long as the Arabs think they are making progress outside the Conference, they will be in no hurry to get there. No one wants it except the Soviet Union. They have an Ambassador in Geneva, Vinogradov, who spends all his time waiting for a conference that doesn't take place. We occasionally send Ambassador Bunker once every two months to keep him company there doing nothing. But we have not agreed on a resumption date. The earliest I could foresee would be March -- unless there is a total breakdown in the secret discussions now going on between Egypt and Israel and the other Arab countries and Israel through us. And I don't foresee such a breakdown. On Iran, as I have said, things have developed in the direction of my discussions with Chairman Mao and the Prime Minister last year.

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 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.

"Hello doctor, I began having frequent urination, and sometimes urinating every half an hour. I consulted my doctor and UTI was ruled out. I consulted a urologist and she did an abdominal and pelvic CT scan and no structural abnormalities were found. No cystoscopy was performed. She diagnosed me as having an overactive bladder and gave me Trospium and I am taking Estrace and Clonazepam along with that. I have some relief since taking Trospium, but I have been having urethral discomfort. Is this possibly because of the Trospium? Would the CT scan have shown any problems with the urethra? I did a urine culture and blood test also. Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. You have been diagnosed as OAB (overactive bladder) since you had lower urinary tract storage symptoms. You need one USG KUB (ultrasound of kidney, ureter and bladder) and PVR (post-void residue) to look for post-void residual urine. You need to undergo uroflowmetry to see whether you have obstructed voiding pattern or not. Urine CS (culture test) is also required to exclude UTI (urinary tract infection). If you do not have UTI or obstructed flow or increased PVR we can suspect your symptoms as OAB. Now you were rightly prescribed Tropsium. Estrogen cream also helps to vitalize the local tissue and decreases local tissue irritation, decreases dryness in the vagina and periurethral area. If your symptoms are still not controlled with anticholinergics, then we can add Mirabegron 50 mg. Timing may be adjusted according to the severity of your symptom complex. I would sincerely suggest you go to one urologist's office and get investigated and treated. I have tried to guide you regarding treatment options. You need to maintain a voiding diary too, ideally for seven days, but at least for three days to know the pattern of your water intake and voiding frequency and volume. It will help your urologist to understand your disease process in a better way.

"I have been off the depo shot for 7 months and throughout those 7 months I have had brown discharge every single day. Is there a way to stop this discharge. It is medium brown color , has an oder and is heavy enough for a pad. The OBGYN says its normal but how can I stop this?!! Hi,Thanks for the query. After stopping the depo, it may take some time for regularization of hormonal levels. That may be responsible for your brown discharge. Usually this discharge will subside soon. But having discharge for seven months is somewhat abnormal. So, once go for ultrasound and coagulation profile. These will help in ruling out any abnormality. If no abnormality is detected, you can take anti fibrinolytic drugs to control the brown discharge with your doctor's advice. If the discharge still persists, you may need hormonal pills for one month to regularize the cycles.

WHILE SITUATION IS NOT OUT OF HAND AND INCREASED RICE SUPPLIES ARE BEING SENT TO MUSLIM AREAS, THERE IS INCREASING CONCERN THAT PROBLEM MAY NOT BE CONTAINED IN MINDANAO AND SULU. IN FACT, THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT MUSLIMS IN VISAYAS ARE ALSO BEGINNING TO FEEL EFFECTS OF ISLAMIC REVIVAL. AS PART OF EFFORT TO IMPROVE SITUATION, MARCOS HAS ANNOUNCED PLANS FOR NEW ROAD, RAILWAY AND AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT IN MINDANAO. TO THE NORTH, MARCOS HAS BEEN WORKING TO IMPROVE RELATIONS WITH JAPAN. HE HAS JUST CONCLUDED A SUCCESSFUL VISIT TO TOKYO, WHERE HE WAS WARMELY RECEIVED BY EMPEROR AND PRIME MINISTER. HE HAS ALSO SIGNED A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT AGREEMENTS WITH JAPANESE LEADERS, INCLUDING A $200 MILLION LOAN. IN ADDITION, MARCOS HAS SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH AUSTRALIA FOR AN INCREASE IN AUSTRALIAN AID TO PHILIPPINES. ON THE OTHER HAND, MARCOS HAS BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE US. HAVING FAILED TO GET US TO AGREE TO A NEW MILITARY BASES AGREEMENT, MARCOS HAS TURNED TO OTHER SOURCES FOR MILITARY ASSISTANCE. IN ADDITION TO THE AGREEMENT WITH AUSTRALIA, MARCOS HAS ALSO SIGNED AGREEMENTS WITH INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA FOR MILITARY ASSISTANCE. IN ADDITION, MARCOS HAS SIGNED A $200 MILLION LOAN AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN FOR MILITARY PURPOSES. THERE ARE ALSO REPORTS THAT MARCOS HAS ASKED THE SOVIET UNION FOR MILITARY ASSISTANCE. ON THE ECONOMIC SIDE, THE PHILIPPINE ECONOMY HAS CONTINUED TO GROW AT A RAPID PACE. INFLATION HAS BEEN A PROBLEM, BUT THE MARCOS GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN STEPS TO CONTROL PRICES AND WAGES. THE PHILIPPINE EXPORT SECTOR HAS ALSO BEEN VERY STRONG, WITH THE COUNTRY ENJOYING A SURPLUS IN ITS BALANCE OF TRADE. HOWEVER, THE COUNTRY IS STILL FACING PROBLEMS WITH UNEMPLOYMENT AND ESSENTIAL COMMODITY SUPPLIES. IN CONCLUSION, THE PAST THREE MONTHS HAVE BEEN AN EVENTFUL PERIOD FOR THE PHILIPPINES. THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN FACING A VARIETY OF DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGES, AND PRESIDENT MARCOS HAS BEEN WORKING HARD TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. WHILE THERE ARE STILL CONCERNS ABOUT THE MUSLIM MINORITY AND THE ECONOMY, THE OVERALL SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES REMAINS STABLE.

INTRODUCTION: THIS CABLE PRESENTS A BROAD VIEW OF PHILIPPINE-U.S. RELATIONS IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1974. 2. SUMMARY: RELATIONS WITH U.S. CONTINUE SMOOTH, AND PROGRESS IS BEING MADE. THE PRINCIPAL OBSTACLE TO PROGRESS AT THIS TIME IS THE FAILURE OF THE U.S. CONGRESS TO COMPLETE ACTION ON THE TRADE REFORM ACT. INTERNAL POLITICS CONTINUE TO BE DOMINATED BY THE MARCOS REGIME, WHICH APPEARS TO BE INCREASINGLY SECURE. THE NEW SOCIETY IMAGE HAS FADED SLIGHTLY, BUT THERE IS LITTLE ACTIVE OPPOSITION. THE CHURCH, HOWEVER, IS BECOMING A MORE ACTIVE CRITIC. THE ECONOMY CONTINUES TO GROW, BUT THE GOVERNMENT IS PREOCCUPIED WITH COMMODITY SUPPLIES AND PRICES AND THE MUSLIM DISPUTE. END SUMMARY. 3. INTERNAL POLITICS: THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT PRESIDENT MARCOS DESIRES TO OR FEELS THE NEED OF ABANDONING MARTIAL LAW. HE EVIDENTLY REGARDS THE CONTROLS AVAILABLE UNDER THE PRESENT SYSTEM FULLY WARRANT ITS INDEFINITE RETENTION. ALTHOUGH THE PRESIDENT'S RECENT TRAVELS IN THE PROVINCES AND NOW TO INDONESIA SUGGEST A GREATLY HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SECURITY, THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO AUGUR ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN HIS CURRENT REGIME. PREOCCUPATION WITH COMMODITY SUPPLIES AND PRICES AND RESOLVING THE MUSLIM DISPUTE HAVE TENDED TO DISTRACT THE GOVERNMENT FROM LONGER RANGE ACTIVITIES. 4. LITTLE MOVEMENT HAS OCCURRED IN THE LOCAL POLITICAL SCENE IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. A REFERENDUM TO STREAMLINE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND INTRODUCE A RECALL CONCEPT HAS PERIODICALLY BEEN RUMORED BUT TO DATE HAS STILL NOT BEEN SET. PROSPECTS FOR AN INTERIM NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OR ADVISORY COUNCIL HAVE FADED AT LEAST TEMPORARILY SINCE THE PRESIDENT FEELS HE CANNOT CONTROL IT AT THIS TIME. DESPITE LITTLE DRAMATIC EVIDENCE OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT ACTIVITY, THE REGIME IS WORKING GRADUALLY TO EXTEND ITS INFLUENCE AND CONTROL OVER PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES. THE PACE OF CHANGE IS DICTATED MORE BY SCARCITY OF RESOURCES AND PLANS THAN RESISTANCE OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES WHO UNDERSTAND THE REALITIES OF POWER. 5. THE APPARENT DECLINE IN GOVERNMENTAL MOMENTUM MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE FADING OF THE NEW SOCIETY IMAGE. AT THE SAME TIME, REPORTS OF CORRUPTION ON THE PART OF THE NEW SOCIETY REPRESENTATIVES AT LOW AND HIGH LEVELS ARE GROWING. IN HIS RECENT SHUFFLE OF SEVERAL CABINET POSITIONS, THE PRESIDENT MAY HAVE HELPED BOLSTER THE IMAGE TEMPORARILY BUT PERFORMANCE AND A GREATER SENSE OF PURPOSE ARE BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR A FUNDAMENTAL IMPROVEMENT OF IMAGE. 6. SENSING GOVERNMENTAL SLACK, AND STIMULATED BY WISHFUL THINKING, INCIPIENT OPPOSITION LED BY SENATOR SALONGA HAS BEEN DEVELOPING LOW KEY CRITICISM OF THE REGIME AND OF U.S. SUPPORT OF THAT REGIME. SALONGA'S ACTIVITIES ARE AMATEURISH, ARE KNOWN TO THE GOVERNMENT BUT MAY BE BEGINNING TO REACH WIDER CIRCLES ESPECIALLY THROUGH VEHICLE OF CHURCH WHICH PAGE 02 MANILA 06419 01 OF 03 310829Z CONTINUES TO EMERGE AS MOST WIDELY RESPECTED OPPOSITION FORCE. MILITARY-CHURCH LIAISON COMMITTEES ESTABLISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT SERVE AS BUFFERS BETWEEN REGIME AND ITS CHURCH CRITICS. THEY HAVE NOT, HOWEVER, DETERRED SEVERAL CHURCH ELEMENTS FROM PURSUING ""UNIVERSAL JUSTICE"" AND THE CHURCH IS POSING AN INCREASING DILEMMA FOR A STABILITY- MINDED GOVERNMENT. 7. ECONOMIC: THE ECONOMY CONTINUES TO GROW, WITH GNP EXPECTED TO INCREASE BY OVER TEN PERCENT IN 1974. HOWEVER, THE GOVERNMENT IS PREOCCUPIED WITH COMMODITY SUPPLIES AND PRICES AND THE MUSLIM DISPUTE. THERE IS LITTLE EVIDENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S LONG RANGE ECONOMIC PLANS. THE CONTINUED LACK OF A TRADE REFORM ACT IS A SIGNIFICANT OBSTACLE TO PROGRESS IN THIS AREA. 8. DEFENSE: THE PHILIPPINES CONTINUES TO MAKE PROGRESS IN ITS DEFENSE MODERNIZATION PROGRAM. THE AIR FORCE HAS RECEIVED ITS FIRST BATCH OF FIVE OV-10 BRONCOS. THE NAVY HAS TAKEN DELIVERY OF ITS FIRST SIX OF TWENTY FOUR SWIFT BOATS. THE ARMY HAS RECEIVED ITS FIRST BATCH OF 7,000 M-16 RIFLES. THE GOVERNMENT HAS ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL PURCHASE TWO MORE FRIGATES AND AN ADDITIONAL BATTERY OF HAWK MISSILES IN FY 1975. THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HAS RECENTLY ANNOUNCED THAT THE PHILIPPINES WILL BE ALLOWED TO PURCHASE AN ADDITIONAL 24 F-5E/F FIGHTERS. 9. SECURITY: THERE HAS BEEN NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE SECURITY SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES. THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO BE CONCERNED WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF TERRORIST ACTIVITIES IN MANILA AND THE S STRUCTURE PROJECTS SCHEDULED TC START IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. THE PHILIPPINE STOCK EXCHANGE HAS RECOVERED FROM ITS EARLY YEAR DOLDRUMS AND TRADING HAS BEEN ACTIVE, WITH THE INDEX MOVING UPWARD. 11. ALTHOUGH NO OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT HAS BEEN MADE, IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE PRESIDENT WILL SOON RELEASE THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND REFORM BILL TO CONGRESS. THE BILL IS EXPECTED TO PROPOSE A TENANT PURCHASE SCHEME FOR THOSE TENANTS WHO CAN AFFORD TO BUY AND A LAND REFORM PROGRAM FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT. THE BILL IS REPORTEDLY BEING REVIEWED BY THE PRESIDENTIAL LEGAL STAFF AND MAY BE RELEASED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 12. THE PRESIDENT HAS ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT HE WILL ASK CONGRESS FOR AUTHORITY TO REORGANIZE THE GOVERNMENT IN ORDER TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS. HE HAS NOT SPECIFIED WHAT HE HAS IN MIND, BUT IT IS EXPECTED THAT HE WILL ASK CONGRESS FOR AUTHORITY TO CONSOLIDATE OR ABOLISH CERTAIN MINISTRIES AND AGENCIES AND TO ESTABLISH NEW ONES. THIS WOULD BE PART OF THE PRESIDENT'S PROGRAM TO STREAMLINE THE GOVERNMENT AND TO IMPROVE MANAGEMENT. 13. THE PRESIDENT HAS ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT HE WILL ASK CONGRESS TO EXTEND THE MARITAL LAW PROCLAMATION UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 1976. HE ALSO PLANS TO ASK CONGRESS TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION TO PERMIT THE GOVERNMENT TO EXPROPRIATE LAND FOR REFORM PURPOSES WITHOUT PRIOR PAYMENT OF JUST COMPENSATION. THIS WILL BE PART OF THE PRESIDENT'S EFFORTS TO GIVE HIS LAND REFORM PROGRAM MORE TEETH. 14. THE PRESIDENT WILL ALSO ASK CONGRESS TO APPROVE HIS NEW NATIONAL INTEGRATION PROGRAM WHICH IS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE NATIONAL UNITY AND TO ERASE REGIONAL DIFFERENCES. THE PROGRAM WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY A NEWLY ESTABLISHED MINISTRY OF NATIONAL INTEGRATION WHICH WILL ALSO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HANDLING THE GOVERNMENT'S PROGRAM TO IMPROVE THE MUSLIM'S LOT. 15. THE PRESIDENT HAS ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT HE WILL ASK CONGRESS TO APPROVE A NEW LAW TO REGULATE THE SECRET ee Ps ° ee ° ee es ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ° ee ON, INCREASING THE NUMBER OF GENERALS FROM 12 TO 20, AND IS ABOUT TO NAME MORE FLAG OFFICERS. ALREADY THE PHILIPPINE MILITARY IS ONE OF THE MOST OVER-OFFICERED IN THE WORLD. MARCOS HAS ALSO INCREASED THE NUMBER OF MILITARY ACADEMIES FROM TWO TO THREE, AND THERE IS TALK OF ADDING A FOURTH. HE HAS, IN SHORT, DONE EVERYTHING HE CAN TO KEEP THE MILITARY HAPPY, AND IN THE PROCESS HAS GIVEN IT A MUCH MORE IMPORTANT ROLE IN NATIONAL LIFE. 15. THE MILITARY, IN TURN, HAS REMAINED LOYAL. IT HAS NOT BEEN HAPPY WITH THE MUSLIM CAMPAIGN, BUT IT HAS ACCEPTED MARCOS' COMPROMISE AND HAS NOT OPENLY CHALLENGED HIM. IT HAS NOT BEEN HAPPY WITH THE EFFORTS OF THE CIVILIAN BUREAUCRACY TO REGAIN SOME OF ITS LOST POWER, BUT IT HAS ACCEPTED THE PRESIDENT'S DECISIONS AND HAS NOT OPENLY CHALLENGED HIM. IN SHORT, IT HAS BEEN A LOYAL MILITARY, AND MARCOS HAS BEEN A LOYAL COMMANDER IN CHIEF. HE HAS NOT ALLOWED THE MILITARY TO BECOME A STATE WITHIN A STATE, BUT HE HAS GIVEN IT A MUCH GREATER VOICE IN THE AFFAIRS OF STATE THAN IT HAS EVER HAD BEFORE. 16. THE MILITARY, IN SHORT, IS A MAJOR FACTOR IN THE PHILIPPINE SCENE TODAY. IT IS A FACTOR THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED. MARCOS, IN HIS QUEST FOR POLITICAL STABILITY, HAS MADE IT A MORE IMPORTANT FACTOR THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN BEFORE. HE IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING IT EVEN MORE IMPORTANT. HE HAS GIVEN IT A PROMINENT ROLE IN THE GOVERNMENT, AND HE IS NOW GIVING IT A PROMINENT ROLE IN THE ECONOMY. HIS ACTIONS HAVE BEEN MOTIVATED BY HIS DESIRE TO MAINTAIN HIS GRIP ON THE COUNTRY, BUT THEY HAVE CREATED A NEW AND POTENT FORCE IN THE PHILIPPINE SCENE. 17. THE MILITARY'S ROLE IN THE PHILIPPINE SCENE IS A FACTOR THAT SHOULD BE OF CONCERN TO THE US. WE HAVE HAD, IN THE PAST, A CLOSE WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PHILIPPINE MILITARY. WE HAVE PROVIDED IT WITH TRAINING AND EQUIPMENT, AND WE HAVE ENCOURAGED IT TO BE A PROFESSIONAL FORCE THAT WOULD REMAIN OUT OF POLITICS. WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN THESE EFFORTS, BUT WE NOW HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE MAY SECRET PAGE 04 MANILA 06416 03 OF 03 3109392 HAVE CREATED A MONSTER. WE HAVE ENCOURAGED THE PHILIPPINE MILITARY TO BECOME A MORE IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE PHILIPPINE SCENE, AND IT HAS NOW BECOME THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE COUNTRY. OUR EFFORTS TO ENCOURAGE THE MILITARY TO REMAIN OUT OF POLITICS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL, BUT WE NOW HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE MAY HAVE ENCOURAGED IT TO BECOME A FORCE THAT IS TOO POWERFUL TO BE IGNORED. 18. WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE PHILIPPINE MILITARY IS A FACTOR THAT WILL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED IN ANY EFFORT TO INFLUENCE THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT. WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE PHILIPPINE MILITARY IS A FORCE THAT CAN BE USED TO ACHIEVE OUR GOALS, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS A FORCE THAT CAN BE USED AGAINST US.

HE HAS ALSO SHOWN HIMSELF MORE WILLING TO TAKE INDEPENDENT POSITIONS ON INTERNATIONAL ISSUES, AND TO ASSERT PHILIPPINE INTERESTS MORE VIGOROUSLY THAN IN THE PAST. IN HIS RECENT VISIT TO WASHINGTON, HE WAS FIRMLY TOLD THAT HIS RECOGNITION OF THE PRC WOULD BE REGARDED AS A HOSTILE ACT. HE RESPONDED THAT HE WOULD NOT RPT NOT BE DETERRED BY SUCH A WARNING. HE ALSO TOLD SECRETARY KISSINGER THAT HE WOULD BE WILLING TO ACCOMMODATE THE U.S. ON THE MILITARY FACILITIES AGREEMENT, BUT THAT IT WOULD BE ON TERMS MORE FAVORABLE TC THE PHILIPPINES THAN THOSE WHICH HAD BEEN PROPOSED. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT HE WOULD BE WILLING TO EXTEND THE PRESENT AGREEMENT FOR ONE YEAR, BUT THAT HE WOULD EXPECT THE U.S. TO PAY A HIGHER RENTAL FOR THE FACILITIES THAN HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY AGREED UPON. HE ALSO INDICATED THAT HE WOULD BE WILLING TO CONSIDER A LONGER TERM ARRANGEMENT FOR THE FACILITIES, BUT THAT HE WOULD EXPECT THE U.S. TO PAY A SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER RENTAL FOR THE FACILITIES THAN HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED.

HE ALSO IND Relations between the United States and the Philippines continue tranquil. Attention on the quarter under review has been focused on working out those adjustments which will have to be made in the status and rights of U.S. businessmen after the expiration of the Laurel-Langley Agreement on July 3. Marcos has eased the impact of this imminent event considerably by issuing a proclamation and a decree on May 24, the proclamation states that it will be the policy of the GOP to refrain for one year from any action which would alter the current situation with respect to those rights and privileges enjoyed by Americans under the parity provisions of the 1946 amendment to the 1935 Constitution. This has a special effect with respect to land titles acquired by Americans since 1946. The decree permits leases on land to be made by foreigners for 25 years, renewable for another period of 25 years. 21. Marcos has also said publicly that he will issue decrees clarifying the retail trade law and the anti-dummy law as it applies to foreign investment. These several actions, together with ancillary steps which we have discussed with the GOP, meet most of the immediate concerns of U.S. business. However, we have been unable to reciprocate and meet Philippine interests in tariff and trade matters because the U.S. Congress has not yet passed a trade reform act which will give us authority to respond to Philippine interests in these matters. 22. Similarly, with respect to Philippine interests in renegotiating certain aspects of the military base rights agreement, we are at a deadlock because Washington has not yet decided whether to incorporate these changes in a treaty, or accept the implications of the Case Amendment requiring a joint resolution to implement amendments to base rights agreements. Presumably, both these matters will be under active negotiation in Manila during the next quarter, if Washington decisions can be made soon. 23. One other item looming on the horizon in U.S.-Philippine relations concerns the law of the sea. There has always been a fundamental difference between U.S. and Philippine positions on archipelagic proposals for the Caracas meeting. Recently, however, these differences have been aggravated by awkward Washington handling of tactical preparations for the Caracas meeting. A team of experts will arrive in Manila early June in an effort to bridge some differences on this account, but prospects for resolution seem distant. This visit, plus a visit of a team to negotiate a civil air agreement, also in early June, could end in differences of position which will ruffle the smooth relations which have otherwise prevailed in U.S.-Philippine affairs. SULLIVAN",Confidential,DISC_Security,"FEW MONTHS. MEANWHILE, REEFRCNTS IN MUSLIM AREAS CONTINUE TO BE ANOYINGLY FREQUENT. IN ADDITION TO CITY, THERE HAVE BEEN INCIDENTS IN SULU AND COTABATO PROVINCES. WHILE SITUATION IS NOT OUT OF HAND AND INCREASED RICE SUPPLIES ARE BEING SENT TO MUSLIM AREAS, THERE IS INCREASING CONCERN THAT PROBLEM MAY NOT BE CONTAINED IN MINDANAO AND SULU. IN FACT, THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT MUSLIMS IN VISAYAS ARE ALSO BEGINNING TO FEEL EFFECTS OF ISLAMIC REVIVAL. AS PART OF EFFORT TO IMPROVE SITUATION, MARCOS HAS ANNOUNCED PLANS FOR NEW ROAD, RAILWAY AND AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT IN MINDANAO. TO THE NORTH, MARCOS HAS BEEN WORKING TO IMPROVE RELATIONS WITH JAPAN. HE HAS JUST CONCLUDED A SUCCESSFUL VISIT TO TOKYO, WHERE HE WAS WARMELY RECEIVED BY EMPEROR AND PRIME MINISTER. HE HAS ALSO SIGNED A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT AGREEMENTS WITH JAPANESE LEADERS, INCLUDING A $200 MILLION LOAN. IN ADDITION, MARCOS HAS SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH AUSTRALIA FOR AN INCREASE IN AUSTRALIAN AID TO PHILIPPINES. ON THE OTHER HAND, MARCOS HAS BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE US. HAVING FAILED TO GET US TO AGREE TO A NEW MILITARY BASES AGREEMENT, MARCOS HAS TURNED TO OTHER SOURCES FOR MILITARY ASSISTANCE. IN ADDITION TO THE AGREEMENT WITH AUSTRALIA, MARCOS HAS ALSO SIGNED AGREEMENTS WITH INDONESIA AND MALAYSIA FOR MILITARY ASSISTANCE. IN ADDITION, MARCOS HAS SIGNED A $200 MILLION LOAN AGREEMENT WITH JAPAN FOR MILITARY PURPOSES. THERE ARE ALSO REPORTS THAT MARCOS HAS ASKED THE SOVIET UNION FOR MILITARY ASSISTANCE. ON THE ECONOMIC SIDE, THE PHILIPPINE ECONOMY HAS CONTINUED TO GROW AT A RAPID PACE. INFLATION HAS BEEN A PROBLEM, BUT THE MARCOS GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN STEPS TO CONTROL PRICES AND WAGES. THE PHILIPPINE EXPORT SECTOR HAS ALSO BEEN VERY STRONG, WITH THE COUNTRY ENJOYING A SURPLUS IN ITS BALANCE OF TRADE. HOWEVER, THE COUNTRY IS STILL FACING PROBLEMS WITH UNEMPLOYMENT AND ESSENTIAL COMMODITY SUPPLIES. IN CONCLUSION, THE PAST THREE MONTHS HAVE BEEN AN EVENTFUL PERIOD FOR THE PHILIPPINES. THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN FACING A VARIETY OF DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGES, AND PRESIDENT MARCOS HAS BEEN WORKING HARD TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES. WHILE THERE ARE STILL CONCERNS ABOUT THE MUSLIM MINORITY AND THE ECONOMY, THE OVERALL SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES REMAINS STABLE.

INTRODUCTION: THIS CABLE PRESENTS A BROAD VIEW OF PHILIPPINE-U.S. RELATIONS IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1974. 2. SUMMARY: RELATIONS WITH U.S. CONTINUE SMOOTH, AND PROGRESS IS BEING MADE. THE PRINCIPAL OBSTACLE TO PROGRESS AT THIS TIME IS THE FAILURE OF THE U.S. CONGRESS TO COMPLETE ACTION ON THE TRADE REFORM ACT. INTERNAL POLITICS CONTINUE TO BE DOMINATED BY THE MARCOS REGIME, WHICH APPEARS TO BE INCREASINGLY SECURE. THE NEW SOCIETY IMAGE HAS FADED SLIGHTLY, BUT THERE IS LITTLE ACTIVE OPPOSITION. THE CHURCH, HOWEVER, IS BECOMING A MORE ACTIVE CRITIC. THE ECONOMY CONTINUES TO GROW, BUT THE GOVERNMENT IS PREOCCUPIED WITH COMMODITY SUPPLIES AND PRICES AND THE MUSLIM DISPUTE. END SUMMARY. 3. INTERNAL POLITICS: THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT PRESIDENT MARCOS DESIRES TO OR FEELS THE NEED OF ABANDONING MARTIAL LAW. HE EVIDENTLY REGARDS THE CONTROLS AVAILABLE UNDER THE PRESENT SYSTEM FULLY WARRANT ITS INDEFINITE RETENTION. ALTHOUGH THE PRESIDENT'S RECENT TRAVELS IN THE PROVINCES AND NOW TO INDONESIA SUGGEST A GREATLY HEIGHTENED SENSE OF SECURITY, THEY DO NOT APPEAR TO AUGUR ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN HIS CURRENT REGIME. PREOCCUPATION WITH COMMODITY SUPPLIES AND PRICES AND RESOLVING THE MUSLIM DISPUTE HAVE TENDED TO DISTRACT THE GOVERNMENT FROM LONGER RANGE ACTIVITIES. 4. LITTLE MOVEMENT HAS OCCURRED IN THE LOCAL POLITICAL SCENE IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. A REFERENDUM TO STREAMLINE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND INTRODUCE A RECALL CONCEPT HAS PERIODICALLY BEEN RUMORED BUT TO DATE HAS STILL NOT BEEN SET. PROSPECTS FOR AN INTERIM NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OR ADVISORY COUNCIL HAVE FADED AT LEAST TEMPORARILY SINCE THE PRESIDENT FEELS HE CANNOT CONTROL IT AT THIS TIME. DESPITE LITTLE DRAMATIC EVIDENCE OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT ACTIVITY, THE REGIME IS WORKING GRADUALLY TO EXTEND ITS INFLUENCE AND CONTROL OVER PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES. THE PACE OF CHANGE IS DICTATED MORE BY SCARCITY OF RESOURCES AND PLANS THAN RESISTANCE OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES WHO UNDERSTAND THE REALITIES OF POWER. 5. THE APPARENT DECLINE IN GOVERNMENTAL MOMENTUM MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE FADING OF THE NEW SOCIETY IMAGE. AT THE SAME TIME, REPORTS OF CORRUPTION ON THE PART OF THE NEW SOCIETY REPRESENTATIVES AT LOW AND HIGH LEVELS ARE GROWING. IN HIS RECENT SHUFFLE OF SEVERAL CABINET POSITIONS, THE PRESIDENT MAY HAVE HELPED BOLSTER THE IMAGE TEMPORARILY BUT PERFORMANCE AND A GREATER SENSE OF PURPOSE ARE BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR A FUNDAMENTAL IMPROVEMENT OF IMAGE. 6. SENSING GOVERNMENTAL SLACK, AND STIMULATED BY WISHFUL THINKING, INCIPIENT OPPOSITION LED BY SENATOR SALONGA HAS BEEN DEVELOPING LOW KEY CRITICISM OF THE REGIME AND OF U.S. SUPPORT OF THAT REGIME. SALONGA'S ACTIVITIES ARE AMATEURISH, ARE KNOWN TO THE GOVERNMENT BUT MAY BE BEGINNING TO REACH WIDER CIRCLES ESPECIALLY THROUGH VEHICLE OF CHURCH WHICH PAGE 02 MANILA 06419 01 OF 03 310829Z CONTINUES TO EMERGE AS MOST WIDELY RESPECTED OPPOSITION FORCE. MILITARY-CHURCH LIAISON COMMITTEES ESTABLISHED BY THE GOVERNMENT SERVE AS BUFFERS BETWEEN REGIME AND ITS CHURCH CRITICS. THEY HAVE NOT, HOWEVER, DETERRED SEVERAL CHURCH ELEMENTS FROM PURSUING ""UNIVERSAL JUSTICE"" AND THE CHURCH IS POSING AN INCREASING DILEMMA FOR A STABILITY- MINDED GOVERNMENT. 7.

THERE IS LITTLE EVIDENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S LONG RANGE ECONOMIC PLANS. THE CONTINUED LACK OF A TRADE REFORM ACT IS A SIGNIFICANT OBSTACLE TO PROGRESS IN THIS AREA. 8. DEFENSE: THE PHILIPPINES CONTINUES TO MAKE PROGRESS IN ITS DEFENSE MODERNIZATION PROGRAM. THE AIR FORCE HAS RECEIVED ITS FIRST BATCH OF FIVE OV-10 BRONCOS. THE NAVY HAS TAKEN DELIVERY OF ITS FIRST SIX OF TWENTY FOUR SWIFT BOATS. THE ARMY HAS RECEIVED ITS FIRST BATCH OF 7,000 M-16 RIFLES. THE GOVERNMENT HAS ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL PURCHASE TWO MORE FRIGATES AND AN ADDITIONAL BATTERY OF HAWK MISSILES IN FY 1975. THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE HAS RECENTLY ANNOUNCED THAT THE PHILIPPINES WILL BE ALLOWED TO PURCHASE AN ADDITIONAL 24 F-5E/F FIGHTERS. 9. SECURITY: THERE HAS BEEN NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE SECURITY SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES. THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO BE CONCERNED WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF TERRORIST ACTIVITIES IN MANILA AND THE S STRUCTURE PROJECTS SCHEDULED TC START IN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. THE PHILIPPINE STOCK EXCHANGE HAS RECOVERED FROM ITS EARLY YEAR DOLDRUMS AND TRADING HAS BEEN ACTIVE, WITH THE INDEX MOVING UPWARD. 11.

HE ALSO IND Relations between the United States and the Philippines continue tranquil. Attention on the quarter under review has been focused on working out those adjustments which will have to be made in the status and rights of U.S. businessmen after the expiration of the Laurel-Langley Agreement on July 3. Marcos has eased the impact of this imminent event considerably by issuing a proclamation and a decree on May 24, the proclamation states that it will be the policy of the GOP to refrain for one year from any action which would alter the current situation with respect to those rights and privileges enjoyed by Americans under the parity provisions of the 1946 amendment to the 1935 Constitution. This has a special effect with respect to land titles acquired by Americans since 1946. The decree permits leases on land to be made by foreigners for 25 years, renewable for another period of 25 years. 21. Marcos has also said publicly that he will issue decrees clarifying the retail trade law and the anti-dummy law as it applies to foreign investment. These several actions, together with ancillary steps which we have discussed with the GOP, meet most of the immediate concerns of U.S. business. However, we have been unable to reciprocate and meet Philippine interests in tariff and trade matters because the U.S. Congress has not yet passed a trade reform act which will give us authority to respond to Philippine interests in these matters. 22. Similarly, with respect to Philippine interests in renegotiating certain aspects of the military base rights agreement, we are at a deadlock because Washington has not yet decided whether to incorporate these changes in a treaty, or accept the implications of the Case Amendment requiring a joint resolution to implement amendments to base rights agreements. Presumably, both these matters will be under active negotiation in Manila during the next quarter, if Washington decisions can be made soon. 23. One other item looming on the horizon in U.S.-Philippine relations concerns the law of the sea. There has always been a fundamental difference between U.S. and Philippine positions on archipelagic proposals for the Caracas meeting. Recently, however, these differences have been aggravated by awkward Washington handling of tactical preparations for the Caracas meeting. A team of experts will arrive in Manila early June in an effort to bridge some differences on this account, but prospects for resolution seem distant. This visit, plus a visit of a team to negotiate a civil air agreement, also in early June, could end in differences of position which will ruffle the smooth relations which have otherwise prevailed in U.S.-Philippine affairs.

In the mean time i am also feeling like pregnant. But after 45 to 50 days i am getting my periods. We are trying for a baby. Wat could be the reason and what i can do to conceive Hi I think there can be many reasons for delayed periods. So you should get yourself evaluated first. Do a thyroid profile and prolactin levels and a ultrasound for follicles. Also do a semen analysis of your husband. If everything is fine you can try with medicines and can do repeated ultrasound to see if ovulation is happening or not. If it's normal then you can try for 6 months.

"INFORMED Revised 12 March 1973 Current policy, in brief, calls for the acquisition of strategic nuclear weapon systems to support a well-hedged urban/industrial retaliatory capability, a general nuclear war plan with a small number of large, preplanned attack options which emphasize counterforce operations, and the maintenance of a stable strategic relationship with the Soviet Union through negotiations. Declaratory statements of policy stress strategic sufficiency and sufficiency criteria, the US second- strike capability against Soviet cities, and flexibility in employing nuclear forces. Actual counterforce capability and the role of counter- force operations in current employment policy are, however, substantial. Theater nuclear policy as expressed in the Defense Policy and Planning Guidance (DPPG) calls for forces to deter theater nuclear attacks and help deter conventional attacks. The DPPG states that the primary deterrent to Soviet and PRC conventional attacks is US and allied conventional forces. However, NATO policy documents state inter alia that there should be options for ""early defensive use"" of nuclear weapons by NATO in the event a PACT conventional attack cannot be contained conventionally. Broad Policy Objectives Current broad objectives, which have been framed by this Administration in various policy documents, can be summarized as follows: 1. Deter nuclear attacks against the United States, its forces, and its bases overseas and help deter attacks by nuclear powers against US allies and those other nations whose survival is vital to US security. 2. Prevent coercion of the United States by nuclear powers and help prevent coercion of US allies by such powers. 3. Contribute to the deterrence of conventional attacks on US allies. 4. If deterrence fails, limit damage to the United States and its allies and assure a continued US position of power and influence, to the extent practicable. 5. Maintain strategic stability with the Soviet Union through a sufficiency of strategic forces. 6. Seek to maintain security and the effectiveness of nuclear forces through negotiation of equitable arms agreements with the Soviet Union. Action Policy Employment Policy. Current US policy for the employment of strategic and designated theater nuclear forces is currently contained in the NSTAP, which is discussed in the Panel's report of May 5, 1972 and summarized here. The NSTAP states as the objective in a general nuclear war the conduct of nuclear offensive operations against the Soviet Union, alone or in combination with its allies, ""as required to terminate hostilities on terms advantageous to the United States."" To achieve this objective, three tasks are set for US forces: - ""To destroy or neutralize, on a selective basis, nuclear offensive capabilities of the enemy that threaten the United States and its allies, in order to limit damage to the United States and its allies to the maximum extent practicable. - To destroy or neutralize, on a selective basis, a comprehensive enemy military target system in order to assist in the destruction of the enemy's overall military capability. Page 5 Senate lander section 15 (fd of BO. /29SE ns acquisition policy. However, the President's foreign policy reports also contain some statements on employment policy. The 1969 report stated that ""the United States will maintain the capacity to inflict unacceptable damage on any single aggressor, or combination of aggressors, who might contemplate a nuclear attack on the United States, its forces, or its allies."" The 1971 report stated that ""the United States will not initiate the use of nuclear weapons except in response to a nuclear attack or the use of a nuclear weapon by an aggressor anywhere in the world."" The 1972 report stated that ""the United States will employ nuclear weapons only in those situations where its vital interests are at stake."" The 1969 and 1971 reports also contained statements about the possibility of a limited nuclear war. The 1969 report stated that ""the United States will not initiate the use of nuclear weapons in a limited war."" The 1971 report stated that ""the United States will not initiate the use of nuclear weapons in a limited war unless it is necessary to prevent a major nuclear attack on the United States, its forces, or its allies."" The 1972 report did not mention limited nuclear war. The 1969 and 1971 reports also contained statements about the possibility of a non-nuclear attack on the United States. The 1969 report stated that ""the United States will not initiate the use of nuclear weapons in response to a non-nuclear attack."" The 1971 report stated that ""the United States will not initiate the use of nuclear weapons in response to a non-nuclear attack unless it is necessary to prevent a major nuclear attack on the United States, its forces, or its allies."" The 1972 report did not mention non-nuclear attack. Overall, these declaratory statements suggest that the United States will only use nuclear weapons in response to a nuclear attack or to prevent a major nuclear attack, and that the United States will not initiate the use of nuclear weapons in a limited war or in response to a non-nuclear attack. However, the 1972 report does not mention limited nuclear war or non-nuclear attack, which may indicate a shift in policy regarding these scenarios. not been tested at all. 1. Current Environment Conditioning the Employment of Nuclear Weapons Many factors condition the ways in which nuclear weapons can be most effectively employed to achieve U.S. objectives. These include the nuclear forces deployed by the United States, the Soviet Union, and the PRC; the distribution of population and industry in each of these nations; and the Soviet and PRC doctrines for employment of nuclear weapons. a. Nuclear Forces of the United States, the Soviet Union, and the PRC (1) In an all-out nuclear war with the Soviet Union, U.S. counterforce strikes cannot provide high confidence in significantly reducing the urban damage the United States and its allies would suffer, even if the United States initiated the nuclear conflict. This is because (a) the Soviets now have a secure second-strike force with SLBMs at sea and ICBMs in hardened and dispersed silos and (b) there is the possibility that the Soviets might launch their land-based ballistic missiles on tactical warning of an attack. This indicates that U.S. nuclear weapon employment plans should provide options for limiting the level and extent of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union as a primary means to limit damage to the United States and its allies. Because the success of efforts to control escalation of a nuclear conflict depends on the actions of all parties to the conflict and, therefore, is highly uncertain, there should also be options for damage limiting counterforce attacks. Hida Elke sive 2. TOP SECRET SENSITIVE Revised 12 March 1973 (2) Currently, the PRC does not have the capability to significantly threaten the United States. Counterforce operations against the PRC nuclear threats to the United States, when deployed, could significantly reduce, but probably not deny, damage from a Chinese attack. With respect to protecting our Asian allies and our forces overseas, however, there are major uncertainties about the effectiveness of counterforce strikes in limiting damage. These uncertainties arise because of the possibility that the United States may not be able to locate all PRC nuclear forces for targeting purposes. b. Distribution of Population and Industry (1) Asymmetries in population distribution have a bearing on the effectiveness of U.S. targeting and the consequence of attack. The U.S. population is more concentrated in cities than is the Soviet population, but the distribution of industry in cities is about the same for both countries. (2) The Soviets have plans and organizations for partial evacuation of their cities in the event of a threatened nuclear attack. If such urban evacuation were effectively carried out, Soviet deaths in a nuclear attack could be reduced significantly. There would, however, be no reduction in the amount of Soviet industry destroyed. The Soviet capability to effectively implement their evacuation plans has never been tested, and has not been tested at all. n the deliberate selection of population as a target and the unavoidable consequence of attacks on military and economic targets. RGPAGRHEIED SENSITIVE Based on Soviet statements about nuclear strategy, supported by the political, economic, and military trends observed in the Soviet Union, it appears that Soviet attacks and coercion would be deterred less by threatening population than by threatening the destruction of the Communist party structure, Soviet command and control, Soviet military forces, the immediate logistic support for such forces, and the production base to generate more forces. Because of the nature of nuclear weapon effects and the co-location and co-mingling of Soviet urban population with the specific political, economic and military targets just described, it is recognized that attacks on these targets will, unavoidably, result in substantial fatalities in the Soviet population as a whole. Nevertheless, it is important to distinguish clearly between the deliberate selection of population as a target and the unavoidable consequence of attacks on military and economic targets. of nuclear war. This is in recognition of the fact that an all-out nuclear war would have catastrophic consequences for both sides and the international community as a whole. Therefore, it is imperative that the United States carefully considers the potential consequences of its actions and seeks to control the escalation of the conflict through targeted attacks and withheld attacks. The policy states that options should be provided for the control of escalation, but only if the war has not escalated to a high intensity inconsistent with such control. In such a scenario, the priority would shift towards the destruction of key targets and the prevention of further escalation. However, if the war has not yet reached a critical level of intensity, then options for controlling escalation should be considered in order to minimize the damage and loss of life on both sides. One key aspect of controlling escalation is the use of withheld attacks, where the United States would refrain from targeting certain key areas in order to avoid provoking a massive response from the opposing side. This approach is seen as a way to maintain a level of deterrence while also avoiding the catastrophic consequences of an all-out nuclear war. In conclusion, the proposed employment policy recognizes the importance of controlling escalation in a nuclear war and provides options for achieving this goal. While the destruction of key targets and the prevention of further escalation remain top priorities, the policy also emphasizes the need to carefully consider the consequences of nuclear weapon employment and seek to minimize the loss of life and damage to both sides. best possible post-attack position for the United States and its allies. (3) Would Provision of Attack Options for Limited Nuclear War Reduce the Effectiveness of Major Attack Options? The proposed employment policy provides for attack options for both limited and major nuclear war. It is intended that these options will complement each other and provide the National Command Authorities with a range of choices to achieve their objectives in a nuclear conflict. The Major Attack Options are designed to secure the best possible post-attack position for the United States and its allies, while the limited attack options are intended to control escalation and induce an early termination of the war. It is believed that the provision of limited attack options will not significantly reduce the effectiveness of the Major Attack Options, as both types of options are necessary for achieving the overall objectives of the United States in a nuclear conflict. The proposed employment policy does not address the issue of a reserve or swing force. This is a separate issue that should be discussed and decided upon separately. However, if a reserve force is deemed necessary, it should be of sufficient size and capability to provide a meaningful contribution to achieving the objectives of the policy. It should also be retargetable in order to respond to changing circumstances and to maintain flexibility in the use of nuclear forces. The targets assigned to the reserve force should be based on a thorough analysis of potential scenarios and should be regularly reviewed and updated as needed. Policy specifies a swing force in the reserve in addition to forces withheld from execution and that portion of our strategic forces which can be generated to alert status or reconstituted from previous missions. The purpose of the swing force is twofold: First, to provide, in addition to any forces which may be withheld, a reserve with high enduring survivability to prevent post-attack nuclear coercion and a reserve to increase the effectiveness of attacks by use of strike assessment information. Second, to provide a capability for use in Limited Nuclear Options and a capability to augment Selected Attack Options, if, in attempting to control escalation, additional weight of effort on a Selected Attack Option is desired at the time of execution. The size and composition of the swing force to meet the objective set forth for it remains to be determined. It, however, should be targetable because of the requirements that may be placed on it by the NCA. The alternative of not having a swing force either precludes the implementation of any ad hoc requirements on targeting or requires that ad hoc needs be taken from the pre-planned assignments which, without prior planning, would tend to reduce the efficiency of the SIOP in subsequent tasks to an unknown degree. No consideration was given to foregoing implementation, by some technique, of ad hoc requirements which may be generated by the NCA.

So much hair falls out daily and doesn't seem to grow back. Almost all of the strands that fall out have a white bulb at the end. I also have hair growing all over my face which had not been there previously. I have irregular periods and I have acne.

Bureau for Refugee Programs representatives "Hello doctor,I am trying to conceive but my husband and I did cocaine a week ago. 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.

"Hello doctor, My friend aged 30 had two drops of phenol mistaking for milk. He vomited and had lot of salt water. Please advice for any side effect. Hi. I want to assure you not to worry as everything is going to be fine if proper care and treatment is opted in for. I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. 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. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation.

I had been having a UTI for a long while. I got it checked last week, and I was prescribed Sofilex for five days. The UTI got better, and everything was fine for about a week, and today it started to hurt again. I am peeing frequently, and I feel pain in my lower area. Last night, I was feeling quite sick. I had a headache, nausea, and pain. I was not sure if this was because of the UTI starting up. But, this morning it had definitely started. I am still sexually active, and I know that sex can trigger infections. So, I clean up thoroughly after sex, as advised by my previous doctors, and according to what I have read about its prevention. I make sure it does not get too rough or unlubricated. I just want to know why the UTI keeps occurring and what I should do differently, to stop it once and for all. Is there a different type of medication I should take? I read online that there is a type of medication to take after sex. Is this going to be helpful? If it is possible, may I get a suggestion for which medication to take? What to do next, to make the UTI stop from recurring? Are there any medications or lifestyle changes to me made? I hope to hear from you soon. Hello. As you have already mentioned, sexual activity is a risk factor for UTI. A urine analysis report done during the UTI (urinary tract infection) episode, will give us a better picture of the number of pus cells. I request you to share two such reports of tests done during two different episodes. Due to the short length of the urethra, the bacteria of the perineum are inevitably introduced into the bladder. But, these bacteria should not be allowed sufficient time in the bladder to grow. Some females are more prone to UTI compared to others due to a different antigen expression on the bladder mucosa. I recommend the following measures for you: Reply after 15 days after you try the above.

NOT just spotting on the toilet paper. 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.

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.

He took his pressure and it was 145over 118. Is this bad and will it go down Now that he is back on his med? Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you and give my opinion. You should know that when we treat hypertension our goal is to have mean value below 140 / 90 mmHg.A person might have high value during emotional, physical strees or if he doesn't take a regular medication. You should not worry about the blood pressure value that you have found,it is nothing bad. Stoping the drugs for 5 days is of course responsible for this high blood pressure value. Hypertension is a chronic disease and it should be treated all live long. Stoping the medication will lead to hight values. Of course if your husband will start taking the medications in a regular way than every thing will come back as it was before.If he had stable values under treatment before than starting medication will bring back stable values again so don't worry.Hope I was helpfull.

(S) PHASE I — Communist China has exploded nuclear devices but has few, if any, nuclear weapons and delivery systems. a. During this period, the Chinese Communists will exploit their ""nuclear capability"" for political and psychological purposes. CHICOM propaganda will emphasize this as additional proof that Red China is a major world power. b. To bolster non-Communist Asia and to reaffirm U.S. determination to honor its treaty commitments, U.S. strategy should: (1) Encourage selected Asian nations, e.g., Japan, India, and Taiwan, to build up their nuclear air defense forces to meet the threat of possible CHICOM nuclear aggression. The long run aim would be to build up a non-Communist Asian country to offset possible CHICOM dominance. (2) Develop a nuclear-sharing program which will provide defensive nuclear weapons to selected allies and technical assistance to countries that desire to achieve their own nuclear capabilities. (3) Begin establishment of a strategic base by locating offensive missiles and quick-reacting aircraft in areas where they pose an obvious threat to China. Australia, Alaska, and U.S. possessions in the PACOM area should be considered. Australian participation is particularly important to indicate Free World solidarity. (4) Bolster local defense forces of non-Communist Asian countries with simplified military equipment to ensure maintenance of internal stability. security. (5) Maintain collective security arrangements and quick-reacting, mobile, U.S. tactical forces prepared to move to any threatened area. (6) Encourage economic development and stable governments by improving the air transportation network of selected Asian nations. This network would at the same time draw the country into a more homogeneous group and provide means for the central government to move troops rapidly to any threatened area. (7) Seek an international arms control agreement which would reduce the economic burden of military expenditures without jeopardizing the security of the Free World. POTENTIAL MONITORING AND EARLY ALERT SYSTEM 4. (S) PHASE I - Communist China has a considerable nuclear capability but poses no direct threat to the United States. a. During this period the CHICOMs may use their nuclear capability militarily as well as politically. Their foreign policies will become more aggressive and adventuristic, with emphasis on “nuclear blackmail"" of other Asian countries, particularly Taiwan and Korea, and possibly Japan, India, and Pakistan. b. U.S. strategy during this period, in addition to developing further the strategy of PHASE I should: (1) Make clear that CHICOM possession of a nuclear capability in no way diminishes U.S. resolve to deal swiftly and resolutely with any aggression. (2) Encourage Japan, India, Taiwan, and possibly Korea, Pakistan, and the Philippines to arm themselves with U.S. offensive nuclear missile systems provided through sales or grants. Japan should be encouraged to become a leader in Asia in building strategic counter-military capabilities. (3) Strengthen the strategic vise by establishing coordinating mechanisms to insure a concerted regional nuclear response to any major CHICOM aggression. (4) Exploit any cleavages in Sino-Soviet relations that appear as a result of independent CHICOM actions that challenge Russian leadership. In this situation, some level of accommodation with one side or the other may well be possible. The CHICOMs may attempt to incite war between the U.S. and the USSR, seeing this as one way to gain CHICOM mastery of the world. Alternatively, for the same reasons, the Russians may try to incite war between the CHICOMs and the U.S. The U.S. aim must be to see that any such war occurs between the CHICOMs and the Russians. 5. (S) PHASE III - Communist China has a capability to attack directly the United States. a. Once the CHICOMs acquire an independent ability to attack the United States with nuclear weapons and inflict substantial damage, they become a general war enemy of this nation. If friendly or neutral powers are to remain in Southeast Asia, the Free World must develop a global response to any CHICOM aggression. (1) This strategy must apply the same sanctions to CHICOM aggression that now apply to Soviet aggression in Europe: any overt major aggression leads to general war. (2) The strategy of global response must be predicated on Free World aerospace forces which surround the Communist Bloc and present a credible response to any aggression. During this period, the strategic vise must become a strategic envelope. Missile bases located in Japan, Taiwan, India, the Philippine Islands, and other Asian nations, together with U.S. and European strategic offensive forces, will provide a strategic ring confronting the Communist Bloc. This ring will become an envelope through use of Space systems that provide surveillance and warning of enemy activities, as well as platforms to accomplish offensive and defensive tasks. (3) More important than ever will be the necessity for the U.S. to exploit any Sino-Soviet differences. 6. (S) The success of this evolutionary strategy depends upon achieving the means to carry it out and the ability to make it credible. The difficulties of providing security. he means are well known. More attention, however, should be paid to the attainment of credibility. In 16 words Mao Tse-Tung has distilled the essence of CHICOM strategy for the ""protracted conflict"". ""Enemy advances, we retreat; enemy halts, we harass; enemy tires, we attack; enemy retreats, we pursue."" To be credible against adversaries who think this way, U.S. strategy must provide the nation with a platform of military strength which will permit the U.S. to take the political and economic initiative in the cold war. Otherwise, the initiative passes to the enemy. There is no stalemate. Consequently, political leaders must increasingly recognize how the control and use of military power in peace, along the lines briefly developed above, can make a vital contribution to maintenance of the Free World security. 7. (S) Based on the above analysis, the following preliminary conclusions reflect possible actions to be undertaken: a. To inhibit CHICOM capability to exploit its potential nuclear capabilities, it may be timely to persuade selected Asian nations, particularly Japan and India, to consider equipping themselves with defensive nuclear weapons. b.

Attachment 2 Letter from AFCCS, dated 9 Jan 61 Deputy Chief of Staff, Plans & Programs DECLASSIFIED SPECIAL HANDLING REQUIRED CLASSIFIED MESSAGE SPECIAL HANDLING REQUIRED DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES AIR FORCE WASHINGTON, D.C. TO: AFCCS SUBJECT: Long-Range Threat of Communist China 9 January 1961 FROM: AFXDC (Gen Gerhart) 1. We should be having a look at the long-range threat of Communist China. It is possible that within the next 5 years China could become an ICBM power - certainly within 10 years. What should the U.S., and particularly what should the Air Force strategy vis-a-vis Communist China be? 2. A. D. WHITE Chief of Staff cc: General LeMay Gl G05 AFXDC 7 Mi On.",Confidential,DISC_Security,"stability. 3. (S) PHASE I — Communist China has exploded nuclear devices but has few, if any, nuclear weapons and delivery systems. a. During this period, the Chinese Communists will exploit their ""nuclear capability"" for political and psychological purposes. CHICOM propaganda will emphasize this as additional proof that Red China is a major world power. b. To bolster non-Communist Asia and to reaffirm U.S. determination to honor its treaty commitments, U.S. strategy should: (1) Encourage selected Asian nations, e.g., Japan, India, and Taiwan, to build up their nuclear air defense forces to meet the threat of possible CHICOM nuclear aggression. The long run aim would be to build up a non-Communist Asian country to offset possible CHICOM dominance. (2) Develop a nuclear-sharing program which will provide defensive nuclear weapons to selected allies and technical assistance to countries that desire to achieve their own nuclear capabilities. (3) Begin establishment of a strategic base by locating offensive missiles and quick-reacting aircraft in areas where they pose an obvious threat to China. Australia, Alaska, and U.S. possessions in the PACOM area should be considered. Australian participation is particularly important to indicate Free World solidarity. (4) Bolster local defense forces of non-Communist Asian countries with simplified military equipment to ensure maintenance of internal stability. security. (5) Maintain collective security arrangements and quick-reacting, mobile, U.S. tactical forces prepared to move to any threatened area. (6) Encourage economic development and stable governments by improving the air transportation network of selected Asian nations. This network would at the same time draw the country into a more homogeneous group and provide means for the central government to move troops rapidly to any threatened area. (7) Seek an international arms control agreement which would reduce the economic burden of military expenditures without jeopardizing the security of the Free World. POTENTIAL MONITORING AND EARLY ALERT SYSTEM 4. (S) PHASE I - Communist China has a considerable nuclear capability but poses no direct threat to the United States. a. During this period the CHICOMs may use their nuclear capability militarily as well as politically. Their foreign policies will become more aggressive and adventuristic, with emphasis on “nuclear blackmail"" of other Asian countries, particularly Taiwan and Korea, and possibly Japan, India, and Pakistan. b. U.S. strategy during this period, in addition to developing further the strategy of PHASE I should: (1) Make clear that CHICOM possession of a nuclear capability in no way diminishes U.S. resolve to deal swiftly and resolutely with any aggression. (2) Encourage Japan, India, Taiwan, and possibly Korea, Pakistan, and the Philippines to arm themselves with U.S. offensive nuclear missile systems provided through sales or grants. Japan should be encouraged to become a leader in Asia in building strategic counter-military capabilities. (3) Strengthen the strategic vise by establishing coordinating mechanisms to insure a concerted regional nuclear response to any major CHICOM aggression. (4) Exploit any cleavages in Sino-Soviet relations that appear as a result of independent CHICOM actions that challenge Russian leadership. In this situation, some level of accommodation with one side or the other may well be possible. The CHICOMs may attempt to incite war between the U.S. and the USSR, seeing this as one way to gain CHICOM mastery of the world. Alternatively, for the same reasons, the Russians may try to incite war between the CHICOMs and the U.S. The U.S. aim must be to see that any such war occurs between the CHICOMs and the Russians. 5. (S) PHASE III - Communist China has a capability to attack directly the United States. a. Once the CHICOMs acquire an independent ability to attack the United States with nuclear weapons and inflict substantial damage, they become a general war enemy of this nation. If friendly or neutral powers are to remain in Southeast Asia, the Free World must develop a global response to any CHICOM aggression. (1) This strategy must apply the same sanctions to CHICOM aggression that now apply to Soviet aggression in Europe: any overt major aggression leads to general war. (2) The strategy of global response must be predicated on Free World aerospace forces which surround the Communist Bloc and present a credible response to any aggression. During this period, the strategic vise must become a strategic envelope. Missile bases located in Japan, Taiwan, India, the Philippine Islands, and other Asian nations, together with U.S. and European strategic offensive forces, will provide a strategic ring confronting the Communist Bloc. This ring will become an envelope through use of Space systems that provide surveillance and warning of enemy activities, as well as platforms to accomplish offensive and defensive tasks. (3) More important than ever will be the necessity for the U.S. to exploit any Sino-Soviet differences. 6. (S) The success of this evolutionary strategy depends upon achieving the means to carry it out and the ability to make it credible. The difficulties of providing security. he means are well known. More attention, however, should be paid to the attainment of credibility. In 16 words Mao Tse-Tung has distilled the essence of CHICOM strategy for the ""protracted conflict"". ""Enemy advances, we retreat; enemy halts, we harass; enemy tires, we attack; enemy retreats, we pursue."" To be credible against adversaries who think this way, U.S. strategy must provide the nation with a platform of military strength which will permit the U.S. to take the political and economic initiative in the cold war. Otherwise, the initiative passes to the enemy. There is no stalemate. Consequently, political leaders must increasingly recognize how the control and use of military power in peace, along the lines briefly developed above, can make a vital contribution to maintenance of the Free World security. 7. (S) Based on the above analysis, the following preliminary conclusions reflect possible actions to be undertaken: a. To inhibit CHICOM capability to exploit its potential nuclear capabilities, it may be timely to persuade selected Asian nations, particularly Japan and India, to consider equipping themselves with defensive nuclear weapons. b. Negotiations should be commenced to indicate U.S. willingness to provide Australia with an offensive nuclear capability. c. Possible methods to exploit any fissures in the Sino-Soviet relationships should be thoroughly investigated. d. Methods and organizational frameworks should be investigated to ensure that U.S. political leaders control and use the national military capabilities to seize the initiative in the cold war. 8. (S) The above Summary represents current Directorate of Plans views on the long-range threat of Communist China. These views are under constant review and refinement. As more intelligence on Red China becomes available, as China's development progresses, and as world power trends become more clear, modifications in the preliminary analysis above will probably be required to consider other strategic alternatives. 9.

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.

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. Agrava Board Requests For Assistance Embassy Officers regularly attend Board hearings, and have opened up informal channels of communication with the Board and its staff.

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.

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.

President and acknowledge her commitment to [Democracy; Human rights]" "See It is our overall impression, in view of these comments, that the Chinese leadership hopes we will take unilateral steps on the Taiwan issue and towards establishment of formal diplomatic relations between Washington and Peking on terms which Chairman Mao indicated to you ambiguously last November. They may not be in a position to bargain very far on these issues, particularly at levels of authority below the Chairman, and during this turbulent period. It can also be argued that to precipitate detailed ""negotiations"" with Peking now holds the danger of forcing a divided PRC leadership to focus on the most delicate of issues at a time when our terms for normalization – if not fully acceptable – could only add to the instability. Moreover, Peking's terms for actions to demonstrate our good faith in moving on normalization. For example, we could unilaterally reduce the level of official contacts with Taiwan, and, in particular, we could stop the practice of inviting Taiwanese military officers to visit the U.S. for training purposes. We could also take a more flexible attitude toward the issue of Taiwan's representation in international organizations, such as the United Nations. These actions would not only demonstrate our commitment to normalization, but would also put pressure on the PRC to reciprocate with more flexible positions on the Taiwan question. In addition, we should continue to emphasize to the PRC that our interest in Taiwan is primarily a security one, and that we have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the island. We should also stress that we are prepared to discuss any reasonable proposals they may have for resolving the Taiwan issue, and that we are willing to be flexible on the timing of normalization. Finally, we should continue to use our contacts with other nations to encourage them to take a more flexible stance on the Taiwan issue. We should also continue to emphasize to the PRC the importance of a stable and peaceful international environment, and the potential benefits of a more cooperative relationship between the U.S. and China. By working together and demonstrating our commitment to normalization, we can help to create a more favorable climate for resolving the Taiwan question and improving U.S.-PRC relations. We have tried to identify actions which would (a) signal either publicly or privately to Peking our good faith on normalization, yet not put us into an irreversible position given the PRC's internal instability, (b) communicate to Taipei the continuing trend of our policy, but not in a way that would be highly destabilizing to the GRC either politically or economically, and (c) which would be consistent with the terms of what we feel is the most desirable arrangement for full normalization as it a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a na on the nature and timing of our future actions, and that we should, if possible, have some understanding with Taipei on the timing and nature of our moves. The following are some of the possible ways in which this coordination might be achieved: - Work out a modus vivendi with the PRC on the general question of normalization and the specific steps we are taking in this direction. In this regard, we might want to consider the possibility of a secret channel to the PRC. The channel could be used to explain our actions to Peking and to elicit their views. We could also use the channel to convey our own views to Peking in a non-paper manner. This would be particularly useful in explaining to the Chinese our views on the future of Taiwan and our willingness to consider their interests in this regard. - Begin to establish a dialogue with the PRC on the question of Taiwan. This could be done in the context of the dialogue we are now having with the Chinese on the question of Vietnam. The dialogue could be carried out by a special envoy or through a secret channel, as appropriate. At the outset, we would want to make clear to the Chinese that we are not prepared to negotiate on the question of Taiwan, but that we are prepared to discuss the question in the context of a general dialogue on U.S.-PRC relations. We would also want to make clear that we are not prepared to accept the Chinese position on Taiwan. - Begin to explore with the PRC the question of the future of Taiwan. This could be done through a secret channel or by a special envoy. In this regard, we might want to consider the possibility of a secret meeting between a senior U.S. official and a senior Chinese official. We would want to make clear to the Chinese that we are not prepared to negotiate on the question of Taiwan, but that we are prepared to explore the question with them in the context of a general dialogue on U.S.-PRC relations.

This would allow us to assess the potential impact on Taiwan and make any necessary adjustments to our strategy. We also recommend that we undertake a general analysis of alternative arrangements for a fully normalized relationship with the PRC, taking into account not only USG interests but also Peking's concepts for such a development and Taipei's concerns. We further suggest that specific consideration be given to how policy shifts in various areas, such as dropping active opposition to ROC expulsion from international financial institutions, eliminating FMS credits for military sales to the ROC, and offering the PRC MFN status, could be incorporated into an overall strategy of normalization and implemented effectively. Finally, we propose drafting a statement or allusion for you to use in June to indicate the future trend of our China policy, as well as exploring options for a hard bargaining stance in the upcoming air-route negotiations with Taipei. We seek your approval for these recommendations and await further guidance on which specific issues should be further evaluated. We are not seeking authority for immediate action on these issues, but rather seeking your input and direction for our future strategy. Next trip to Beijing produce a rather detailed understanding with Chairman Mao and other PRC leaders about the ultimate shape of a normalized relationship -- particularly as it affects Taipei's future, our post-recognition relations with the island, and the U.S.-Taiwan Defense Treaty. There is also a case to be made -~ but less persuasively -- that after there is agreement with the PRC about the shape of final normalization, the ROC should be informed, perhaps by inviting Premier Chiang Ching-kuo to visit you in Washington. Such private advance warning would presumably enable the Premier to cope with the subsequent evolution of our China policy in a manner that would minimize the adverse impact on his position and on the island's stability. There are obvious risks in exposing our plans so far in advance, however. With the PRC, there is the risk that unforeseen turmoil on the mainland might make it undesirable -- or impossible -- for us to follow through on the understanding. With the GRC, there is the greater risk that Chiang Ching-kuo might take steps to try to forestall our proposed action -- by deliberately trying to cause problems between the U.S. and the PRC, and/or by stirring up U.S. domestic opinion against our actions.

Approve Disapprove",Highly Confidential,DISC_Security,"See It is our overall impression, in view of these comments, that the Chinese leadership hopes we will take unilateral steps on the Taiwan issue and towards establishment of formal diplomatic relations between Washington and Peking on terms which Chairman Mao indicated to you ambiguously last November. They may not be in a position to bargain very far on these issues, particularly at levels of authority below the Chairman, and during this turbulent period. It can also be argued that to precipitate detailed ""negotiations"" with Peking now holds the danger of forcing a divided PRC leadership to focus on the most delicate of issues at a time when our terms for normalization – if not fully acceptable – could only add to the instability. Moreover, Peking's terms for actions to demonstrate our good faith in moving on normalization. For example, we could unilaterally reduce the level of official contacts with Taiwan, and, in particular, we could stop the practice of inviting Taiwanese military officers to visit the U.S. for training purposes. We could also take a more flexible attitude toward the issue of Taiwan's representation in international organizations, such as the United Nations. These actions would not only demonstrate our commitment to normalization, but would also put pressure on the PRC to reciprocate with more flexible positions on the Taiwan question. In addition, we should continue to emphasize to the PRC that our interest in Taiwan is primarily a security one, and that we have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the island. We should also stress that we are prepared to discuss any reasonable proposals they may have for resolving the Taiwan issue, and that we are willing to be flexible on the timing of normalization. Finally, we should continue to use our contacts with other nations to encourage them to take a more flexible stance on the Taiwan issue. We should also continue to emphasize to the PRC the importance of a stable and peaceful international environment, and the potential benefits of a more cooperative relationship between the U.S. and China. By working together and demonstrating our commitment to normalization, we can help to create a more favorable climate for resolving the Taiwan question and improving U.S.-PRC relations. We have tried to identify actions which would (a) signal either publicly or privately to Peking our good faith on normalization, yet not put us into an irreversible position given the PRC's internal instability, (b) communicate to Taipei the continuing trend of our policy, but not in a way that would be highly destabilizing to the GRC either politically or economically, and (c) which would be consistent with the terms of what we feel is the most desirable arrangement for full normalization as it a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a na on the nature and timing of our future actions, and that we should, if possible, have some understanding with Taipei on the timing and nature of our moves. The following are some of the possible ways in which this coordination might be achieved: - Work out a modus vivendi with the PRC on the general question of normalization and the specific steps we are taking in this direction. In this regard, we might want to consider the possibility of a secret channel to the PRC. The channel could be used to explain our actions to Peking and to elicit their views. We could also use the channel to convey our own views to Peking in a non-paper manner. This would be particularly useful in explaining to the Chinese our views on the future of Taiwan and our willingness to consider their interests in this regard. - Begin to establish a dialogue with the PRC on the question of Taiwan. This could be done in the context of the dialogue we are now having with the Chinese on the question of Vietnam. The dialogue could be carried out by a special envoy or through a secret channel, as appropriate. At the outset, we would want to make clear to the Chinese that we are not prepared to negotiate on the question of Taiwan, but that we are prepared to discuss the question in the context of a general dialogue on U.S.-PRC relations. We would also want to make clear that we are not prepared to accept the Chinese position on Taiwan. - Begin to explore with the PRC the question of the future of Taiwan. This could be done through a secret channel or by a special envoy. In this regard, we might want to consider the possibility of a secret meeting between a senior U.S. official and a senior Chinese official. We would want to make clear to the Chinese that we are not prepared to negotiate on the question of Taiwan, but that we are prepared to explore the question with them in the context of a general dialogue on U.S.-PRC relations.

THE SOVIETS ARE EXPECTED TO USE ALL THEIR MILITARY MIGHT TO SUPPRESS THE RESISTANCE MOVEMENT BEFORE THE SNOW MELTS NEXT APRIL. - THE NEW TROOPS ARE ARRIVING IN AFGHANISTAN WITH THE LATEST SOVIET WEAPONS, INCLUDING THE HIND-24 HELICOPTER. THE HIND-24 IS THE MOST MODERN AND MOST DEADLY HELICOPTER EVER BUILT BY THE SOVIET UNION. IT CAN CARRY 16 SOLDIERS, 4,000 KG OF BOMBS, 8 ROCKETS, AND 2 MACHINE GUNS. THE HELICOPTER IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH NIGHT VISION EQUIPMENT AND IS PROTECTED AGAINST HEAT-SEEKING MISSILES. - THE SOVIET MILITARY COMMAND IS ALSO MAKING AVALANCHE OF PROPAGANDA. IT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED THAT THE SOVIET ARMY HAD KILLED THE LEADER OF THE AFGHAN RESISTANCE, AHMED SHAH MASOOD. THE REPORT WAS IMMEDIATELY DENIED BY THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT AND THE MUJAHEDEN. - THE SOVIETS ARE ALSO TRYING TO CONVINCE THE WORLD THAT THE AFGHAN ARMY IS ABLE TO DEFEND THE COUNTRY AGAINST THE MUJAHEDEN. TO PROVE THIS, THE SOVIETS HAVE INVITED FOREIGN MILITARY ATTACHES TO ATTEND MILITARY EXERCISES IN AFGHANISTAN. HOWEVER, FOREIGN DIPLOMATS IN MOSCOW HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY BELIEVE THE SOVIET MILITARY COMMAND IS TRYING TO PAGE 05 OTTAWA 88468 01 CF 82 2820522 DEMONSTRATE ITS MILITARY MIGHT TO THE AFGHAN PEOPLE AND THE WORLD. - THE SOVIET PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN HAS ALSO CONCENTRATED ON THE AFGHAN ARMY. THE SOVIETS ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE THE WORLD THAT THE AFGHAN ARMY IS THE ONLY LEGITIMATE FORCE IN AFGHANISTAN AND THAT THE MUJAHEDEN ARE TERRORISTS. - THE SOVIETS HAVE ALSO BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN PERSUADING THE AFGHAN ARMY TO FIGHT THE MUJAHEDEN WITHOUT THE HELP OF SOVIET TROOPS. THE SOVIET COMMANDERS ARE NOW USING AFGHAN SOLDIERS TO FIGHT AGAINST THE MUJAHEDEN IN ORDER TO MAKE THE AFGHAN PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THE SOVIETS ARE WITHDRAWING FROM AFGHANISTAN. THE SOVIETS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE THEIR TROOP LEVELS IN AFGHANISTAN FROM 118,000 TO 100,000. - THE SOVIETS ARE ALSO TRYING TO GAIN THE SUPPORT OF THE AFGHAN PEOPLE BY USING A NEW PROPAGANDA TECHNIQUE. THEY ARE NOW USING AFGHAN WOMEN TO TELL THE WORLD HOW HAPPY THEY ARE UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE SOVIET ARMY. THE WOMEN ARE ALSO USED TO CONVINCE THE AFGHAN PEOPLE THAT THE MUJAHEDEN ARE ENEMIES OF THE COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE. - THE SOVIETS ARE ALSO TRYING TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE HELPING THE AFGHAN PEOPLE TO REBUILD THEIR COUNTRY. THEY ARE NOW SPENDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR ROADS AND BRIDGES DESTROYED BY THE WAR. THE SOVIET PROPAGANDA MACHINE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN CONVINCING THE WORLD THAT THE SOVIETS ARE WITHDRAWING FROM AFGHANISTAN. PAGE 06 OTTAWA 88468 01 CF 82 2820522 - THE NEW SOVIET TROOPS, HOWEVER, ARE ARRIVING IN AFGHANISTAN TO REPLACE THE DEPARTING SOLDIERS. THE SOVIETS ARE NOW USING THE NEW TROOPS TO CONVINCE THE WORLD THAT THEY ARE WITHDRAWING FROM AFGHANISTAN. THE SOVIETS ARE NOW USING THE NEW TROOPS TO INTENSIFY THEIR OFFENSIVE AGAINST THE MUJAHEDEN. THE SOVIETS ARE NOW USING THE NEW TROOPS TO DEMONSTRATE THEIR MILITARY MIGHT AND TO CONVINCE THE AFGHAN PEOPLE THAT THE MUJAHEDEN ARE TERRORISTS. - THE NEW TROOPS, HOWEVER, MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR MISSIONS. THE MUJAHEDEN ARE NOW RECEIVING MORE WEAPONS AND MORE MONEY FROM THE UNITED STATES, SAUDI ARABIA, AND OTHER ISLAMIC COUNTRIES. THE MUJAHEDEN ARE NOW MORE DETERMINED THAN EVER TO FIGHT THE SOVIETS AND THE AFGHAN ARMY. THE SOVIETS MAY BE ABLE TO FIGHT THE MUJAHEDEN, BUT THEY MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO WIN THE WAR. - THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN IS FAR FROM OVER. THE MUJAHEDEN ARE NOW DETERMINED TO CONTINUE THEIR FIGHT AGAINST THE SOVIETS AND THE AFGHAN ARMY. THE WAR MAY CONTINUE FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. THE NEW SOVIET TROOPS MAY BE ABLE TO HELP THE SOVIETS TO INTENSIFY THEIR OFFENSIVE AGAINST THE MUJAHEDEN, BUT THEY MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO DEFEAT THE RESISTANCE MOVEMENT. - THE SOVIETS MAY BE ABLE TO WITHDRAW THEIR TROOPS FROM AFGHANISTAN, BUT THEY MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO WITHDRAW FROM THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE AFGHAN PEOPLE.

I had a frined take a picture of it beacuse I can t get a good look in the mirror. I am an RN and did some research and know that these lipomas can also show up in the brain and lungs so why not the skin? Isn t one question free? Hi, Angiomyolipomas of kidneys are known to be associated with an entity called Tuberous sclerosis which can manifest with skin lesions. These are usually seen as crops on face and the angiomyolipomas also are seen in both the kidneys in such patients. Without actually having had a look at the lesion on your back it will be difficult to predict what it could be, but it does not sound like a tuberous sclerosis lesion at present. Your being an RN makes it easy for you to understand medical literature, and thus if at next USG, your doctor picks up an enlargement of the angiolipoma or if there are fresh ones, you should be concerned and discus with your urologist as to the next step. If there is no growth of the lesion, and it is less than 2cm, i suggest you can wait and watch if you have no symptoms.",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"OK I have a 1cm hemangiolipoma in my right kidney (USN due in a month) I have what appears to be a small (2 cm?) blister like lipoma on my back.

"Hi, About a month ago I started going on birth control (Micrognyon), a couple of weeks after I developed a very painful kidney infection . When my GP put me on anti biotics it began to leave my body, however it still wasn t fully gone, so the doctor put me back on the same Anti Biotics ( Penicillin ). However, when I was off the anti biotics, I began drinking alcohol again and sleeping with my partner again and it has seemed to return again! Although it is no way near as bad as it was, my side is very painful and it stings a little bit to urinate. I first slept with my partner in August and through the August/September time I was absolutely fine when he was using protection with no problems. I am starting to think it is something to do with my birth control pills. Do you think I should come off the pill for a month and start to use protection? Or perhaps change to another pill? I would greatly appreciate your help Thanks, Katie Lillywhite HiUrine infections are sometimes very difficult to treat and require the right antibiotic. Firstly make sure a urine culture has been done and the antibiotic you are taking is the right one. Secondly intercourse increases chances of having a urine infection so you are having recurrent infections using a condom would be a good idea. Lastly, birth control pills do not cause urine infection , so you might want to continue them for added protection. Please remember some antibiotics reduce the effectiveness of these pills and cause unintentional pregnancies.

I got circumcised at the age of 21. So, I have a little extra foreskin. I had a few small red bumps show and then disappear. One doctor said it was balanitis and the other said penile friction.

I have gone through your history and seen the attached photograph (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I think it is due to penile friction. I do not see any signs suggestive of fungal infection. You should apply a steroid-antibiotic combination like Mometasone Fusidic acid cream on the affected area twice daily for a week's time.

If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably a viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days.

"Subject: Discussion Points for Meeting on Analyst Program Charlene: Outlined below are the points I promised to send you before our meeting on Wednesday morning. I don't know your agenda for the meeting, so it may or may not be appropriate to discuss all of these items tomorrow. Background: As a long-time supporter of the analyst program, I became concerned over the last several months as frustration emerged from other supporters of the program. Many of those expressing frustration are heavily involved in the recruiting process. It is their commitment to both recruiting and providing analyst rotations that has been key in attracting talented candidates to what has been the Merchant Services Analyst Program. I initiated a meeting, announced at Rick Causey's staff meeting, that would bring us together so that we could consolidate our concerns and then discuss them with you in a constructive manner. Our intent is continued support and improvement of the program. The meeting took place on March 28 and included the following: Brenda Herod ENA - Energy Operations Executive Lead - LSU Brent Price ENA - Energy Operations Executive Lead - UT Jeff Sommers CALME Executive Lead - Univsersity of Florida Ed Coats Corp. Tax Core Team Member - UT, A&M, LSU and University of Florida Sally Beck ENA - Energy Operations Executive Lead - UT and OU Carolyn Barrett EBS Howard Selzer Enron Global E&P Summary of Concerns and Discussion Points: One program, or two: Prior to campus recruiting in the fall 1999, an announcement was made that there would be one analyst program. Not much materialized from that point to clarify what that meant or how that would be managed. In fact, those of us involved heavily in the recruiting process saw that the MSAP and the Commercial Anlayst programs were managed separately and differently in terms of campus recruiting, rotations and orientation. We feel uninformed and therefore are hampered in discussing the analyst program on campus. SIngle start date: The single start date of July 17 for analysts is impractical and inflexible; a concern from our points of view for an innovative company. The July start date does not consider December graduates and is not necessarily practical for undergrads whose graduation dates are in May. Lack of communication: We are some of the most involved and committed senior managers in the MSAP, and yet we have received little information or communication about the program. We hear rumors of ""tracks"", but no facts or details. Some of us had heard about the single July start date, and some had not. Commercial focus too heavy: Presentation materials, the attitudes of support staff in the Associates/Analysts Program and interview processes are heavily focused on commercial needs, without understanding support needs. Lack of input from biggest supporters: Given the time and effort that many of us put into the MSAP, we are concerned that we haven't been asked to join with you in some of your plans for the program. We are concerned that decisions (example: the single start date) are being considered in a vacuum without what could be some valuable input from some of us. MSAP has taken a step backward: Previously, with a dedicated leadership team and staff, the MSAP had made great strides in the consistency of our on campus efforts, the quality of candidates, the acceptance rate of top candidates and the pride of participants in the program. We feel that the focus on the MSAP has diminished considerably over the last nine months, and we are anxious to work with you to renew excitment for the program.

Afghanistan: Harold Brown's Trip to China Current plans for Secretary Brown's trip to China were outlined in a December 29 memo to President Carter. Essentially, they contemplate the following steps of relevance to the current Soviet invasion of Afghanistan: - Public acknowledgement that we are consulting with the PRC about the Afghanistan situation; - Private exploration of possibilities for US-PRC cooperation in facilitating support for Afghan insurgents and steps to bolster the security of Pakistan; - Proposals for gradually expanding contacts with the PRC defense establishment, establishment of special communication channels between Washington and Beijing during the trip, and a decision on the Landsat issue - all of which will underscore the potential for expanded Sino-US defense cooperation in the future. A public stance that characterizes these steps as the natural by-product of a normal political relationship. Current plans call for leaving on the record Vice-President Mondale's disclaimed interest in ""formal military relationships with Beijing"" (i.e., no joint military planning, no formal security relationship, no arms sales). Should we wish to go beyond this in order to force the Soviets to pay a higher short-term price for their recent actions, we might consider the following measures: 1. Propose on-going trilateral consultations concerning Afghanistan, e.g., announcement of talks in Beijing or Washington between senior State and Defense officials and PRC counterparts concerned with Southwest Asian security issues. 2. Publicly state that Dr. Brown would explore ways to coordinate US and Chinese support for Pakistan in light of the threat posed to Pakistan's security. This would go beyond current plans and emphasize that we will not sell arms to either the PRC or the USSR. Under the circumstances, we might indicate that given Soviet willingness to use military force against its neighbors and our own stake in a strong, secure, and friendly China, we will have to reexamine our policy on the sale of military equipment to the PRC. 3. Link Soviet aggression against Afghanistan to a decision to differentiate between the USSR and the PRC on technology transfers by announcing the Landsat decision in Beijing. This could still pose some difficulties with COCOM, but is unlikely to precipitate a Soviet walk-out. The effect of such a shift, however, is uncertain as third country sales may still be stalled as much by Chinese indecision as European reluctance. Moreover, if our allies see this as a softening of the likelihood of eventual US arms sales to China, they may take the lead in taking the heat from the USSR for such sales.",Confidential,DISC_Security,"Secretary, January 2, 1980.

Below are my conclusions and analysis. In Retrospect (Jan-01 - Sep-01) Background During this period PGE has negotiated a Power Cost Adjustment (PCA) mechanism that limits PGE risks and rewards. According to this mechanism, PGE is responsible for only 10% of the costs in excess of $232.5 MM. Earlier in the year, PGE has accumulated the length for the 2001-2002 period that appreciated in value significantly as prices were increasing. Since liquidations on the hedges are included in the power costs, this value has offset the company's power costs and pushed the total cost of power in the deadband, where PGE wears 100% of risks and rewards. Earnings Impact As prices continued to decline against the long position, PGE incurred significant power costs from its hedge liquidations and moved through the deadband, where the Company wears 100% of the downside. Other items that impacted earning included: - reduced load during the period - reserves for CA receivables - losses in spec trading For the remainder of the PCA, through the end of Sep-01, PGE is only responsible for 10% of the incurred power costs. Analysis In my opinion, the following factors have affected PGE's decision to maintain the length in a bearish market: - bullish or not as bearish sentiment among traders - reliability issues: PGE has significant political and financial repercussions for being caught short in a blackout - psychological fears of tight power supplies and potential blackouts/brownouts, mainly because of recent situation in CA Next 15 Months (Oct-01 - Dec-02) PGE has agreed to implement a similar PCA mechanism for the next 15 months. Below are the highlights: - PGE is currently negotiating the base cost level with the PUC. This is a critical step to ensure that PGE's estimate of the 15-months baseline power costs, as agreed with the PUC, is equal to or greater than the actual costs for the period (~$984 MM) - the new PCA provides for tighter bands (+/- $28 MM for 100% exposure) - transmission costs, resulting from load variations are not factored into the PCA mechanism - Given tighter bands, PGE will begin to place greater emphasis on the spec book - MTM earnings Beyond 2002 PGE is naturally short beyond 2002 (load exceeds generation and hedges). PGE could begin discussions with the PUC on the structure of a new PCA mechanism to limit their risk and rewards; or move towards greater deregulation. There is a possibility that PGE will loose some of its industrial commercial load during this time period, with an obligation to take them back at a standard offer. In the meantime, the Company began purchasing power for the 2003-2004 time period to cover residential load. Recommendations/Action Steps 1. Design decision authority process for significant business decisions. In retrospect, it would be helpful to analyze the value of the long position against the cost of reliability and make a decision accordingly. Other examples: should PGE apply for a PCA mechanism past 2002, should PGE be purchasing power for 2003-2004. Also, participate regularly in the PGE Risk Management Committee meetings. 2. Continue to improve trading controls (missed a deal earlier in the year resulting in a $10 MM loss in the spec book). Significant improvements have been made since then. - move settlements function under middle office to ensure segregation of duties - currently reports through the commercial function - capture option exposure ASAP or prohibit option trading: PGE has an option trade in the books that is not captured in the risk management and reporting framework (position, P&L and VaR) - develop processes for capturing other exposures: Interest rates, embedded in commodity cash flows and assets Foreign currency, resulting from transactions with Canadian counterparties in CAD$ Heating Oil #2, PGE has ~ 1 MM Bbls in storage at the Beaver Plant Coal, two-year contract for supply of coal to the Boardman Plant 3. Daily reporting of PGE risks: VaR, Positions and P&L, notifications of limit violations; as well as, notification of important transactions (purchase of 2003-2004 power) 4.

REGIONAL SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS (U) 1. NATIONAL GOALS (U) (4) China wants to evolve into what it terms 'a world class economic and military power' by 2020, and wants to achieve that status in terms of international recognition as well as in its own eyes. Two important factors affect this goal: (1) how its domestic political system evolves and (2) the legal status of Taiwan. The latter could 'rejoin' the mainland, maintain the status quo, or seek independence. Alternate scenarios for Chinese domestic politics involve either incremental change toward a more 'guided' democracy or a return to a more hard-line ideology. Regardless of the scenario, China's strategic interests are likely to remain constant, but its ability to reach its goals will vary. Another constant in Chinese political thought is the importance of moderating change to preserve internal and external stability. (4) China does not perceive any large-scale threat from either global or major regional powers through 2010. Concern over territorial disputes with virtually all its neighbors has spurred China to seek a reduction in tensions along its borders in order to create a stable regional environment conducive to its domestic modernization programs. This does not mean, however, that China will avoid conflicts at all costs, or that it will not be tempted to pressure weaker regional rivals should benefits accrue from such action without detracting from longer term goals. Indeed, China views intra-regional conflicts as the most likely contingencies for the future, and is restructuring its military forces to allow for more rapid, flexible response and preemptive reaction capabilities. (4) Since 1980, China's perceptions of a declining Soviet/Russian threat and generally benign global environment have encouraged it to prioritize economic and industrial development over military expenditures. China believes there is little risk of major conflict through at least 2010. This will allow China time to pursue a foreign policy of peace and independence increasingly focused on economic issues as it concentrates domestic efforts on modernization. Its foreign policy has been, and will remain, nonaligned. China considers good relations with the United States to be vital, yet seeks to counter what it perceives to be U.S. 'hegemonic tendencies' in the New World Order. (u) Relations between China and other key countries include the following: + Japan represents a prime source of trade, aid, investment, and technology transfer but is also perceived by China as the greatest potential military threat, especially if Japan acquires nuclear weapons or a power projection capability. Sino-Japanese relations will continue to improve, and there is an impetus toward mutual economic accommodation and stability. * Russia, in spite of Chinese perceptions of its longer-term military threat potential, is currently enjoying a rapprochement with China. Chinese leadership sees conflict with Russia through 2008 as remote. * The Koreas remain a lingering concern. China sees peaceful reunification of the two countries as optimal, with crisis containment as a fallback posture. + Southeast Asia is a factor in China's sphere of influence, making potential Indian encroachment there a prime Chinese concern. Conflict with Vietnam remains the most likely short-term threat. The traditional rivalry between India and China has temporarily subsided. Leaders in Beijing and New Delhi are making efforts to forge a new relationship by implementing confidence-building measures on all fronts. The forces will be much greater than those of today. Recent rapprochement suggests that both India and China view conflict as highly unlikely for the next 10 years, even though territorial disputes and the issue of Pakistan remain. Taiwan, which Beijing views as a wayward province, probably will remain a separate entity, but pressure for reunification will continue, even with the passing of the old guard on both sides of the straits. Reunification by force would prove too costly in military terms, and the economy would suffer because of the potential for the flight of capital and technological know-how and international political condemnation. Both Macao and Hong Kong will have been absorbed by 1999, perhaps retaining much of their political and economic status quo. If Taiwan judges that their reintegration has produced sufficient guarantees for the continuation of a ""one country, two systems"" formula, then Taiwan too might eventually choose such an option. This decision could take place before 2013, perhaps emerging incrementally as much as a decade earlier. A strong foundation for rapprochement is being built through increased bilateral contacts, and trade and investment links. Whether by political or military means, absorption of Taiwan's financial wealth, industrial base, and production capabilities would eventually yield considerable advantages to China. Aside from political and cultural factors, Taiwan would also benefit from a reduced defense burden and greater ability to exploit economic links to the mainland. Although there are currently two Chinese entities (China and Taiwan), some fundamental common ""national"" interests persist. Territorial issues are prime among them. Further, for some armed conflicts - such as with Japan - it is entirely possible that, despite their differences, Taiwan could help shoulder a temporary common defense burden with China. Naturally, a peaceful evolution toward integration would provide the greatest benefit to China, allowing it to increase significantly both its regional and its military capabilities. Of the two main political-economic scenarios possible in China, the more likely depicts a slow, orderly transition toward greater relaxation of central Communist Party control over at least economic life and, to a lesser (and more gradual) degree, political life. Although less likely, a revolutionary ""coup"" is possible. Should the hard-line faction of the Communist Party seek to reassert its former control, China would suffer great dislocation. Progress would be stifled, precipitating a severe slowdown of economic growth and inviting retaliation from China's trading partners. Although China would have fewer public funds to budget as a result of the economic slowdown, it could devote a larger percentage to defense, at least in the short-to-mid term. 2. PERSPECTIVE (U) The size of China's military can be misleading. Capabilities still fall short of expectations, even in the minds of China's civilian and military leaders. They have recognized for some time that the mere size of their forces and the willingness to accept great sacrifices of men and territory to attrite the will of a determined enemy would not afford them the best defense. This was further emphasized by the lessons in modern warfare provided by DESERT STORM. China realized modernization was imperative. This has resulted in a change in strategic thinking whereby China will gradually reduce its numbers and create smaller but more effective armed forces. Resulting savings, plus an expanded defense budget, will allow more expenditure on training and technology per soldier and materiel ""unit."" Beijing wants to replace its military equipment, much of which is reaching - or has already reached - obsolescence, with state-of-the-art military equipment by 2020. If it is able to do that, the overall capability of its future numerically smaller armed forces will be much greater than those of today. o forces will increase dramatically. Achieving that strategic goal depends on three factors: * The rate of progress among foreign technology leaders; * Gaining access to foreign innovations or, failing that, indigenous breakthroughs to narrow the capabilities gap that currently exists between world standards and current Chinese technological sophistication; and * The ability and commitment to afford such improvements. (U) China's relative isolation from the 1950s through the 1970s—a period that included the disruption and upheaval of the Great Leap Forward and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution—followed by turbulence through the mid-1980s make particularly problematical any extrapolation about China's ability to modernize militarily. On the one hand, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution destroyed almost a generation of intellectuals; schools were disrupted, colleges and universities were completely shut down. These events resulted in a genuine shortage of qualified personnel in many scientific specialties, in turn affecting both research and production. This in part explains China's failure to make meaningful advances in its efforts to modernize its armed forces during the period. (U) On the other hand, in March 1985, China codified two major reforms in science and technology. First, China abandoned the Soviet-style, vertical responsibility system of central planning in favor of greater institutional and management flexibility. Second, China discarded much of its xenophobic and nationalistic sensitivities, turning to the industrialized countries for technological and scientific knowledge, cooperation, and investment. China already had been exploiting advanced educational systems worldwide to great effect since the early 1980s (over half of its students return from studies abroad). These efforts have dramatically changed China's technological landscape, creating a new baseline of capability. 3. THREAT PERCEPTIONS (U) (4 ete A major factor in current East Asian regional geopolitics is the difference between the military budgets of the region’s key states. Although totaling less than one percent of its GNP, Japan's military budget is still greater than the combined official military expenditures of China, Taiwan, and South Korea. The weight of this large imbalance will change only slowly. China will continue to see the Russian military presence in the Far East as benign, at least through 2003. Conflict between China and India remains possible, especially if either China or India perceives changes in the other’s relative political and/or military advantage that would affect either their spheres of influence or the military balance. China welcomes U.S. East Asian presence (as a guarantor of peace), yet fears and condemns alleged U.S. ‘‘hegemonist’’ initiatives worldwide. (¢) ‘G8B China is concerned about potential Japanese, Russian, and Indian military challenges but still considers them remote possibilities and mainly of longer-term concern. China perceives military challenges by such lesser Southeast Asian states as Vietnam as more likely. The main impetus for Chinese military modernization will remain largely the goals of national survival through deterrence and maintaining prestige through national presence on the regional scene. (¢) Competing South China Sea claims over the Nansha Archipelago (Spratly Islands) remain an irritant to the Chinese. Nonetheless, China seeks to participate in bilateral talks over joint exploitation with all claimants, including Vietnam; however, efforts with the latter appear to be no more than lip service. The other claimants are Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei. China’s position regarding sovereignty remains unwavering: Chinese interests transcend mere resource potential. The strategic value of the islands is of greater concern as China seeks to consolidate a position of strength in the region and project power beyond its borders. n of regional primacy. Competing claims could inspire an early test of China’s growing power projection capability against a weaker Vietnam. B. INTERNAL POLITICAL SITUATION (U) The major imperative for all internal Chinese political factions is maintaining socio-political stability. Internal pressure for change will grow with the passing of the last of the revolutionary old guard. These leaders, most of whom are in their mid-80s, may not rule through 1998. Two major camps (the guardians of ideological rectitude versus Deng Xiaoping's reformists) continue to solicit disciples. Reformists seeking greater economic and political freedom are currently in the ascendancy and will likely gradually continue to gain over ideologues focused on Communist Party primacy. Deng may be the last ""Paramount Leader."" Successors of lesser stature will probably be forced to form a collegial leadership and to rule through greater elite consensus rather than fiat. Domestic political evolution probably will not be smooth but will continue to be affected by competing extremes alternately pushing for reform or retrenchment. Possible, but less likely, alternate scenarios include the two extremes of China rejecting the Party and its ideology in favor of ""democracy,"" or China returning to a more revolutionary strain of leadership. The latter could derail or negate much of the recent economic growth, but military acquisition programs would be easier to justify, if not finance, under such a scheme. Regardless of who rules in China, maintaining stability (law and order) will be the prime motivator and goal.

However, if one uses the more traditional (but equally C. ECONOMIC OVERVIEW (U) (U) Economic changes will be spurred by slower population growth, which will allow for greater socio-economic benefits and assuage rising socio-economic expectations, and the success of the dynamic free enterprise system taking root in most of the south’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs), which are spearheading GNP growth. Economics remains a controversial doctrinal topic in China. Growing prosperity and rising expectations are becoming part of the socio-political fabric, but unrestrained growth threatens Party primacy. The major economic Achilles heel continues to be uneven growth and volatile inflationary pressure. Controlling inflation while moderating its social impact is imperative and is likely to preoccupy whatever regime is in power. (U) The economic success of the coastal zones is undeniable, directly benefiting about a fifth of the population. The remainder of the population, almost 900 million mainly rural workers in the interior of the country, is largely unaffected by the positive aspects of this rapid GDP growth, while still subject to inflation’s steady erosion of buying power. Most are thought to be either slightly bettering their living standards or keeping pace with inflation. But, almost 400 million Chinese are in fact in economic decline. This has caused serious, but still isolated, political disturbances. Economic relief for this political center of gravity—the peasantry—has become imperative. (U) Nonetheless, even with the economic downturn caused by the Tiananmen Square massacre of June 1989, the period 1983-1992 yielded a healthy 9% yearly average growth in GNP (1992's real growth rate, adjusted against inflation, is estimated at 12.8%). In spite of fears of the economy becoming ""superheated,"" real GNP growth for 1993 is expected to better last year’s record. Real growth rates of 7-8% are likely for the foreseeable future, led by the coastal SEZs’ booming growth (24% in 1992). This could eventually free more funds for military development. Chinese economic statistics have historically been highly unreliable. CHINA duction, resulting in a ‘‘defense-related’’ budget that is much larger than the announced figure. The Chinese military budget is focused on three major areas: force modernization, force expan- sion, and force readiness. Force modernization is the primary goal of the defense budget, with a focus on acquiring advanced weapons systems and technolo- gies. Force expansion is a secondary goal, with a focus on increasing the size and capabilities of the military force. Force readiness is the final goal, with a focus on improving the training, logistics, and overall readiness of the military. China's defense budget has been increasing at a steady pace over the past few decades, with a particular focus on modernization and expansion since the 1980s. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years, as China seeks to further modernize its military and expand its global influence. However, the actual size and capabilities of China's military remain a subject of debate, as the official budget does not fully reflect the extent of Chinese military spending. Additionally, China's military budget is likely to be affected by economic and political changes, both domestically and internationally. the Gulf War, Chinese military analysts have placed greater emphasis on the role of high-technology weapons and have come to see the development of such weapons as a key to their future military strength. However, as noted above, China's ability to acquire such weapons is limited, and it will take time to develop the necessary industrial infrastruc- ture to produce them domestically. In the meantime, China will continue to rely on its large numbers of conventional weapons, which can be modernized and upgraded to improve their capabilities. In addition to modernizing its conventional forces, China has also placed increased emphasis on its nuclear deterrent. China's nuclear strategy is based on a ‘‘minimal deterrent’’ posture, with an emphasis on survivability and the ability to retaliate in the event of a nuclear attack. China's nuclear arsenal is estimated to consist of approximately 250 warheads, with the majority of these being deployed on land- based ballistic missiles. China is also developing new nuclear-capable missile systems, including a new submarine-launched ballistic missile and a new intercontinental ballistic missile. China's military modernization efforts are also being driven by its desire to assert itself as a global power. China's leaders have emphasized the need for a strong military to protect China's expanding economic and political interests around the world. This has led to an increased focus on power projection capabilities, including the development of a blue-water navy and the acquisition of advanced aircraft and missiles. Overall, China's military modernization efforts are likely to continue in the coming years, driven by the country's desire to protect its national interests and assert itself as a global power. While China's military capabilities still lag behind those of the United States and other advanced nations, its large numbers and growing technological capabilities make it a formidable force that cannot be ignored. nue, with the force shrinking to between 1.6 mil- lion and 2 million personnel by the year 2000. This will be accomplished by cutting back on the number of divisions and brigades and reorganizing the remaining units into more mobile, better trained, Qe (4, true warfare as: ‘‘ C CERT STORM, the Chinese are reorienting their defense strategy to contend with the most likely prospect of defending their territory against the tactics and technology demonstrated by the West against Iraq. The strategy of ‘luring deep’’ is no longer a viable defense strategy in light of a modernizing China pursuing economic and industrial development. China is no longer able or willing to pay for military inferiority at the expense of sacrifices of blood, territory, and infrastructure. The Chinese Navy is also adjusting to this new thinking. Traditionally, the Navy was primarily a coastal force, designed to counter amphibious landings and to ‘‘take the People’s War to sea.""” It had little capability for mobile offensive operations. But the emergence of the Doctrine of Local War and its associated ‘‘offshore defense’’ strategy has brought about the concept of mobile combat groups of missile ships. Again implementation may lag, but the direction is clear. The Chinese naval leadership characterizes mobile, flexible, limited (in time, space, and objectives), and offensive in nature.’' Most current assets are ill-suited for this role, and the Navy is only slowly acquiring platforms, weapons, and sensors better able to meet the new goals. Logically, the distances at which Chinese naval task forces will be able to operate from shore will increase in an evolutionary manner as new capabilities permit. Ultimately, combat groups must be able to deploy rapidly to trouble spots. Once there, they must be able to gain the initiative in early stages of conflicts by launching offensive operations or controlling the situation through the coordinated support of naval air, submarine, and other service arms. Again, these are doctrinal goals and, although capabilities will tend to lag, the direction is clear. To be successful, future naval units and combat groups must be deployed forward and/or be on constant patrol in contiguous regions where conflicts may erupt. While Chinese military leaders repeatedly speak of highly mobile and capable combat groups consisting of large- and medium-size combatants with sophisticated weapons, they do not expect such forces to become operational until the late 1990s, and then only on a limited basis. These qualitative definitions are future goals and relative to the regional context, rather than implying parity with the West. Extra-regional deployments are not contemplated, except for extraordinary training cruises or similar diplomatic visits. 2. FORCE STRUCTURE (U) (U, (3) The transformation of China's force structure is being spurred on by changing perceptions of strategic realities. China currently believes that the environment through 2013 will be comparatively stable when compared to the past 20 years. China does not foresee any major direct external threats to its security. However, according to Chinese writings, local conflicts over territory with its neighbors (particularly those in the south) can hardly be avoided. Vietnam is China's most likely adversary, with hostilities becoming more likely between 1996 and 2000. While China continues to assume its traditional defensive posture, military planners have begun to reevaluate concepts of strategic defense and tactical offense as the basic tenets of the Doctrine of Local War. Such a doctrinal shift will increasingly have a major impact on the evolution of China's force structure, especially as emphasis is shifted from the traditional Army priority to a more balanced tri-service apportionment of funds. a. Ground Forces (U) QP China will continue to develop a ground force that is smaller, more streamlined, and more mobile. This should make it easier for China to respond rapidly to trouble spots internally and along China's periphery. Since 1987, the ground force has been reduced from 3 million to some 2.3 million personnel. The drawdown is expected to continue, with the force shrinking to between 1.6 million and 2 million personnel by the year 2000. This will be accomplished by cutting back on the number of divisions and brigades and reorganizing the remaining units into more mobile, better trained, y will continue to attract a large number of high-quality recruits through the year 2013. Although the military has been plagued by a high turnover rate, it is expected to decline as the economy improves. In the interim, however, the military will continue to face problems retaining qualified personnel, particularly in the noncommissioned officer (NCO) ranks. This prob- lem is exacerbated by the fact that the best and most experienced NCOs are being promoted to officer ranks. In addition, the increasing emphasis on rapid mobilization and deployment will require the military to train more personnel to operate sophisti- cated weapons and equipment. China has a long history of military training and a large, well- established system of military academies and schools. However, it is still plagued by inadequate training facilities and a lack of realism in training. The PLA is attempting to modernize its training methods and facilities, but the process is slow and will continue through 2013. DECEMBER 1993 entire ground force is immense (and financially pro- hibitive). Therefore, priority will go to select rapid- response units within the overall force structure. Major shortcomings in large-scale troop movement capability, air defense, and electronic warfare sys- tems will continue to plague the ground forces through 2003. By 2013, these forces will represent a formidable challenge to any potential opponent. b. Air Force (U) (S-ae China is committed to developing a smaller but more capable air force. Force structure has been cut significantly since 1987 and reductions will con- tinue through 2003, when strength will level out at 200,000 personnel. Despite decades of effort, China must continue to rely on a large fleet of obsolescent aircraft through the year 2000. In the meantime, to fill critical near-term requirements, China acquired a regiment of 26 Su-27 FLANKER fighters from Rus- sia and has ordered another regiment of 24 FLANK- c. Naval Forces (U) (SW Since the mid 1980s, Chinese leaders have realized that modernization efforts must include overall force reduction and reorganization. Initial CH-8 SECRET Hf - ONI-2660S-007-93-VOL II military force reductions were accomplished at the expense of the Army and Air Force. The number of Navy personnel has actually increased slightly (to 250,000) since 1987. This reflects the priority placed on the Navy as a result of the doctrinal shift. The new threat paradigm of local war and its offshore defense strategy requires that the Navy be rejuve- nated, particularly the fleet most likely to take an active role: the South Sea Fleet (SSF). Although priority now seems to favor the SSF, all three fleets will be modernized. This calls for the formation of combat groups composed primarily of large- and medium-size guided-missile ships with three- dimensional warfighting capabilities to replace the obsolescent, smaller, less capable assets in the cur- rent inventory. Although reductions in personnel are expected through the next decade, the Navy will probably reduce at a much lower rate than the other services. Large numbers of smaller, older combatants will be retired, however, and will gradually be replaced by fewer but more capable platforms. (SH The Navy is evolving from a coastal defense force to one that will increasingly be able to challenge adversaries in the contiguous East and South China Seas, where it has long operated. In the past, priority for resource allocations went to the North Sea Fleet (NSF) and the East Sea Fleet (ESF). The NSF region includes most of the R&D centers and its mission: was and continues to be protecting the industrial northeast as well as Beijing from the Soviet Union (now Russia). The ESF is potentially responsible for effecting the reunification with Tai- wan (a national goal since 1949) if force becomes necessary. Changes in Chinese threat perceptions and increased interest in the South China Sea caused China to shift its priorities in that direction between 1985 and 1990. Each fleet can draw upon the resources of the others to accomplish its wartime missions. 3. TRAINING/MANPOWER (U) USP Recruits are obtained primarily through conscription, but personnel also are encouraged to volunteer. While the relative percentage and sheer numbers of draft-age youth will be in decline after 2000, the available pool of qualified high school graduates will continue to far exceed requirements. Despite temporary economic penalties causing mili- sock ae The Chinese Navy is organized into three fleets: the North Sea Fleet, the East Sea Fleet, and the South Sea Fleet. The fleet commander is responsible for operations, training, and readiness of the fleet. The fleet commander also serves as commander of the naval base that supports the fleet. The Chinese Navy has approximately 250,000 active duty personnel. The Chinese Navy also has a Marine Corps, which is organized into two brigades. The Marine Corps is responsible for amphibious operations and is trained to conduct air, sea, and land operations. The Marine Corps is under the direct command of the Navy headquarters and is not part of the ground forces command structure. b. Personnel (U) The Chinese Navy is primarily a conscript force, with only a small percentage of career personnel. Conscripts serve for three years, while career person- nel serve for 20 years. The Chinese Navy also has a reserve force, which is comprised of former active duty personnel and trained reservists. The Chinese Navy has a high turnover rate due to the large number of conscripts and the short service terms. This has resulted in a lack of experienced personnel, particularly in the non-commissioned officer ranks. The Chinese Navy has attempted to address this issue by increasing the emphasis on professional development and training. c. Training and Education (U) The Chinese Navy places a strong emphasis on training and education, recognizing the importance of a highly trained and skilled force. The Navy has established a comprehensive training program for officers and enlisted personnel, which includes both individual and unit training. The Chinese Navy also has a system of naval academies and training institutes located throughout the country. These institutions provide basic and advanced training for officers and enlisted personnel in various specialties, including surface, submarine, and aviation categories. The Navy also utilizes simulators to supplement training, although their sophistication is limited compared to Western systems. d. Morale (U) Morale in the Chinese Navy is traditionally high, with a strong sense of pride and loyalty to the military and the country. However, recent disparity in compensation between military personnel and their civilian counterparts has raised concerns about retention and could potentially impact morale in the future. Efforts are being made to improve conditions for military personnel in order to maintain high morale. e. Challenges (U) The Chinese Navy faces several challenges in maintaining a modern and effective force. These include addressing the high turnover rate and lack of experienced personnel, as well as improving compensation and benefits to retain skilled personnel. The Navy is also focused on developing its capabilities for combined-arms and joint-service operations, particularly in a local war scenario. The Navy continues to modernize its training and equipment, but faces limitations due to budget constraints and technological gaps with Western navies. The basic structure of naval headquarters closely parallels that of the senior general headquarters departments. Accordingly, in a peacetime environment, the naval staff department directs all naval functions associated with command and control (plans and operations, training, intelligence, and communications). Subordinate elements within the naval staff department serve specific operational and administrative roles in the national-level command and control organization. As noted earlier, the Navy's operating forces consist of three commands: the North, East, and South Sea Fleets. The fleets are further broken down into naval districts and sectors, with units organized into ""type"" forces (shore establishments, surface combatants, rear services, naval aviation, etc.) for administrative and operational control. Ships are organized by types into echelons of various sizes (flotillas, squadrons, and divisions) and operate independently or as part of task-organized operational elements. The Navy is divided into national- and fleet-level commands. The national naval headquarters, located in Beijing, functions under the direction of the Central Military Commission through the General Staff Department. This headquarters is the senior naval authority, and its commander is responsible for the operation, administration, and training of naval forces. These duties are carried out with the assistance of a political commissar, three deputy commanders, a chief of naval staff, and the directors of the various departments that constitute the naval headquarters. The national-level naval headquarters exercises direct control over the three fleet headquarters and selected shore activities. Since 1987, the fleets have adopted a triple-echelon command structure designed to support deep-water operations, naval air operations, and coastal defense activities. Fleet headquarters exercise administrative and operational control over both the shore establishment and forces afloat. Major surface combatant and submarine flotillas are directly subordinate to fleet headquarters for deep water operations. The fleet's coastal defense structure is controlled by the fleet headquarters through its subordinate district, sector, and missile/torpedo attack boat flotilla headquarters. Finally, naval air operates under the control of fleet headquarters through its subordinate naval air headquarters. The North Sea Fleet (NSF) is responsible for defending the area from the Shandong/Jiangsu provincial border north to the North Korean border. Fleet headquarters is located at Qingdao. The NSF shore establishment includes naval bases, support facilities, and communications observation posts. The afloat force consists of four submarine flotillas, one destroyer flotilla, and three missile/torpedo attack boat flotillas. In the past, the NSF was given top priority because of the Soviet/Russian threat from the north and because the NSF houses many of the Navy's R&D facilities. (During the formative years of the Navy, northeast China had the industrial infrastructure needed to support them.) Defense of the northeast will continue to be of prime importance because this region encompasses Beijing, the military headquarters, and the industrial heartland. The East Sea Fleet (ESF) is responsible for defending the area from the Shandong/Jiangsu provincial border southward to the Fujian/Guangdong provincial border. Its headquarters is in Ningbo. The ESF shore establishment includes naval bases, support facilities, and communications/observation posts (COPs). The afloat force consists of two submarine flotillas, one destroyer flotilla, one landing ship flotilla, and two missile/torpedo attack boat flotillas, as well as a number of independent and auxiliary units. Due to its geographic location, this fleet would have a crucial role in a military option designed to reunify Taiwan with mainland China. the aging YUHAI and YULING LSTs and LSMs. The new YUHAI Class LSTs are estimated to be capable of carrying a reinforced battalion of troops, and the YUHAI Class LSMs are estimated to be capable of carrying a company-sized unit. The YUDENG Class LSMs have a range of 2,000 nautical miles, and the YUTING Class LSTs have a range of 3,000 nautical miles. Stabilize Taiwan with the mainland. Forcible reunification may be fading as an option, as booming trade and investment from Taiwan draw the island closer to the mainland. Recent reports suggest efforts are being made to reach a peaceful accord, provided the idea of ""One China"" is upheld by both sides. The South Sea Fleet (SSF) is responsible for defending the sector from the Fujian/Guangdong provincial border southward to the Vietnamese border. SSF headquarters, located at Zhanjiang, exercises operational and administrative control over one submarine, one destroyer, and two missile/torpedo attack boat flotillas, as well as naval bases, support facilities and COPs. The SSF has expanded significantly since its early days. China captured the Paracel Islands from Vietnam in 1974 and occupied a number of islands in the Spratly Archipelago in 1988. Both island groups were placed under the control of Zhanjiang. Since the late 1980s, changes in Chinese threat perceptions, coupled with increased interest in the South China Sea, have caused China to begin to shift its priorities to the SSF. The Chinese Navy is responsible for safeguarding China's national unity, territorial integrity, and ocean rights: defending against a localized war against China on the open seas; and deterring and guarding against all possible seaborne foreign invasions. Implicit in these assigned roles are Chinese concerns for the reunification of Taiwan, protection of the Paracels, and the eventual ""recovery"" of most (if not all) of the Spratlys. To accomplish these roles, the Navy conducts constant surveillance against air and surface penetrations into Chinese waters, reacts to any incursions, and intercepts and investigates unidentified or hostile elements. In addition, the Navy has been training and developing its force structure for the eventual recovery of the Spratlys. While China has a limited at-sea refueling capability, ships can now make port calls for bunkers at Woody and Duncan Islands in the Paracels, and Fiery Cross Island in the Spratlys. Politics aside, Chinese naval units have also been noted calling at the Taiwanese-held island of Itu Aba. b. Amphibious Warfare (U) (1) Amphibious Forces (U) China's amphibious lift capability is estimated at one regular infantry division (although there is only one Marine brigade). Since current Marine training does not include a scenario for integrated multi-battalion assaults, it appears unlikely that the Navy would seek to lift and land more than a reinforced battalion at any one location. Lift could be increased dramatically by employing merchant ships and civilian ferries to augment naval forces, especially for short- and medium-range lift within the region. The Navy's effective amphibious landing capability is also limited to the operational radius of China's land-based naval aircraft. China has given priority to developing aerial refueling in order to extend the combat radius of its land-based aircraft, and recent events indicate that this capability could soon be achieved. The Navy continues to pursue acquisition of a three-dimensional warfighting capability (air/surface/subsurface) to protect surface action groups from hostile forces, albeit with seemingly limited success to date. The present distribution of the Navy's amphibious assets, and the formation and subsequent deployment of a Marine force to the SSF, reflect Chinese interest in maintaining the Paracel and Spratlys Islands as territorial markers for establishing sovereign control over much of the South China Sea. The push for increased ship construction programs and the shift of priorities to the SSF are a result of this goal. Among its new construction programs are two new classes of amphibious ships: the YUDENG Class medium landing ship (LSM) and the YUTING Class tank landing ship (LST). These will replace the aging YUHAI and YULING LSTs and LSMs. The new YUHAI Class LSTs are estimated to be capable of carrying a reinforced battalion of troops, and the YUHAI Class LSMs are estimated to be capable of carrying a company-sized unit. The YUDENG Class LSMs have a range of 2,000 nautical miles, and the YUTING Class LSTs have a range of 3,000 nautical miles. World War II era units long used in logistics support roles. Initial units of both classes will be subordinated to the SSF. Subsequent production schedules As it is responsible for providing potential support to China's claims in the South China Sea, the force trains for both amphibious and counter-landing operations. In addition, Marine recruits receive training in airborne assault, reconnaissance methods, and martial arts. Although individual training skills are emphasized, Chinese Marines cannot be compared with their Russian or U.S. counterparts in performance or capability. Chinese military leaders acknowledge that the force is in its formative stages. Major areas of weakness are lift capacity, tactical air support beyond coastal waters, and naval support. The Marines are well-adapted to conducting such security operations as occupying and setting up barracks on previously uninhabited islands, atolls, and coral heads in the Spratly chain. Such operations are usually small and simple in nature. China recognizes the importance of amphibious operations and is striving to improve this capability. However, the lack of proper logistics support beyond coastal waters will hamper significant improvements in capabilities through 2013. (2) Limited-Objective Operations (U) (4) The Marines frequently practice deployment of troops in unopposed landings on small uninhabited islands in the Spratlys. The Chinese, however, did assault the Vietnamese-occupied Xisha Islands in the Paracels Islands in 1974, and took and maintained control of them. This occurred before the Marine Corps was established. (3) Conventional Combat Operations (U) Due to their small numbers and lack of air logistics support, the Marines would be hard-pressed to take and defend an area outside coastal waters, where there would be no support from air and surface vessels. (4) Antilanding Capability (U) With over 14,000 km of coastline, China depends mostly on early warning and a limited surface-to-surface missile (SSM) capability to defend its shores. If an amphibious landing were to take place on a Chinese shore, the task of answering this assault would be borne mainly by the Army and Garrison Defense Commands. The defense would be executed jointly by all services, supported by reserves if required. The following are tasks assigned to naval forces in antilanding operations: * Conduct reconnaissance and provide early warning; * Lay mines and, in coordination with engineers, construct barriers; * Conduct antiair operations in coordination with the Army and Air Force; * Inflict maximum damage on the enemy at his staging areas, during his sea crossings, and during his amphibious assault in cooperation with the Air Force; * Continue the pressure along the beachhead in coordination with the Army and Air Force; * Attack the supporting fire element of the enemy's warships, minesweepers, and at-sea escort and screening forces; * Attack the enemy's succeeding transport landing ships; * Disrupt the enemy's sea lines of communications; and * Pursue and destroy the retreating enemy force. The Chinese Navy is in the first phase of modernization. Its basic platforms and armaments represent 1950s designs and capabilities, and sensors are mostly of 1950s and 1960s vintage. Much of the inventory is either in ready repair or near reserve status, and the equipment of individual units may not be fully functional. Hardware improvements are unevenly fielded; new equipment tends not to be universally applied to either a ship class or type. (For example, depending on its pennant number, a JIANGHU FF may or may not have a particular capability.) This requires opposing forces to treat Chinese units as somewhat more capable than they are in many cases. Implicit in the writings about local war doctrine is the flexibility to project forces overseas. The naval modernization program is focused on developing this capability. security and economic construction. (4) The Army is organized into 24 group armies, 1 armored division, 1 mechanized division, 1 artillery division, 1 antiaircraft artillery division, 1 army air assault division, and 18 independent regiments (12 infantry, 3 artillery, 1 antiaircraft artillery, and 2 army aviation regiments). The Army has 3.5 million personnel, of which 1 million are conscripts. (4) The Army is undergoing a major reorganization and modernization program to produce a more mobile and flexible force. The program includes increasing the number of combined arms brigades, improving C3I capabilities, and upgrading equipment and weapons. The program is being implemented in phases, with completion expected by 2000. (4) The Army is equipped with a wide variety of small arms, mortars, artillery, tanks, antitank weapons, antiaircraft weapons, and surface-to-air missiles. The Army also has a limited number of attack helicopters. (4) The Army has a large number of artillery pieces and multiple rocket launchers, some of which are capable of firing chemical munitions. The Army is modernizing its artillery with the acquisition of 152- mm and 155-mm self-propelled howitzers.

The Army is developing the HQ-7 short-range surface-to-air missile system. (4) The Army is equipped with a variety of surface- to-surface missiles, including the CSS-6, CSS-7, and CSS-8. The Army is developing the CSS-X-10 medium-range ballistic missile. (4) The Army is developing a number of new weapons systems, including the Type 96 122-mm self-propelled howitzer, the Type 86 152-mm self- propelled howitzer, the Type 89 122-mm multiple rocket launcher, the Type 90 122-mm multiple rocket launcher, the Type 99 155-mm self-propelled howitzer, the Type 90 122-mm multiple rocket launcher, the Type 99 155-mm self-propelled howitzer, and the Type 98 main battle tank. The Chinese Army is responsible for defending China and supporting national command decisions on foreign policy. It also assists in internal security and economic construction. The Army is organized into 24 group armies, 1 armored division, 1 mechanized division, 1 artillery division, 1 antiaircraft artillery division, 1 army air assault division, and 18 independent regiments (12 infantry, 3 artillery, 1 antiaircraft artillery, and 2 army aviation regiments). The Army has 3.5 million personnel, of which 1 million are conscripts. The Army is undergoing a major reorganization and modernization program to produce a more mobile and flexible force. The program includes increasing the number of combined arms brigades, improving C3I capabilities, and upgrading equipment and weapons. The program is being implemented in phases, with completion expected by 2000. The Army is equipped with a wide variety of small arms, mortars, artillery, tanks, antitank weapons, antiaircraft weapons, and surface-to-air missiles.

These units are concentrated in the Central Military District, which is the most likely to be involved in a major conflict. The Army also has a significant number of reserves in the other Military Districts, but these are mainly used to augment the main force units in those districts and provide secu- rity for key cities and installations. security matters, a role that has been heavily debated throughout the years (the People's Armed Police (PAP) was created to take up much of that responsibility). One of the Army's missions is to help the PAP maintain internal stability, as was demonstrated during the 1989 Tiananmen crisis. Through a comprehensive modernization effort, the Army has become a combined-arms force designed to meet the demands of the new local war doctrine. Through improved firepower, mobility, and communica- tions, the Army hopes to develop the strength to conduct active defense operations as defined in the new doctrine. The Army is organized into main and local force units and is deployed in Military Districts, and therefore require less mobility. Military Districts comprise 31 garrison divisions, 10 garrison brigades, 51 border defense regiments, 1 tank division, 1 infantry division, 29 garrison regiments, 3 border defense divisions, and various combat support and combat service support units. China recently began redesignating its garrison units as Coastal Defense units, although this move is not expected to change their overall mission. The whole is supported by 1.2 million reservists organized into well over 40 division-size units. Beyond these numerically impressive forces, there are also the PAP and other large security forces with functions related to maintaining internal stability. The sophistication of Army equipment ranges from low to medium technology. Main forces are typically better equipped than local ones. Reserve forces maintain basic capabilities, although they are more ideally suited to the protracted guerrilla functions of peasant warfare than to formal warfare. China will continue to introduce significant numbers of new equipment, using a cautious approach aimed at ensuring that personnel can operate and maintain the new weapons and support systems. The Army has several programs to improve armor, artillery, helicopters, and air-mobile equipment. It is also committed to upgrading its air defense capabilities. A number of new systems are under development, including the HN-6 (a man-portable, medium-range, medium-altitude SAM), the KS-1 (a high- altitude system), and the HQ-9 (a system reportedly capable of intercepting both aircraft and short-range ballistic missiles). These missiles are designed to replace the Army's aging, inadequate SAM force. SECRET The Army plays an important political role domestically. It is the ultimate guarantor of the Party's political primacy and survival. This was most recently displayed during the Tiananmen Square massacre in June 1989. Political schisms, partially along regional lines, are likely to emerge in China, and these could spread to the Army. Due to a deep sense of discipline and loyalty to individual commanders among Chinese troops and limited communi- cations between Army units (because of linguistic differences and the poor quality and limited quantity of communications equipment), troops are likely to follow the order of their local commanders during such schisms. This could well contribute to fragmentation of the Army during a period of internal disorder. The 1984 Military Service Law created a formal reserve structure. Reserve organizations are commanded and manned by core cadres consisting of active duty officers as well as local government and party leaders. Lower- echelon officers and enlisted members of the organization are drawn from the two-category reserve personnel pool. Category one personnel are young (18 to 28 years old), well qualified, and receive basic and specialized military training from the active force. Category two personnel (29 to 60 years old) receive less training and would be used as fill-in reserve units in wartime. The Army has 40-plus reserve units to augment or round out existing group armies and other major units. These units are concentrated in the Central Military District, which is the most likely to be involved in a major conflict. The Army also has a significant number of reserves in the other Military Districts, but these are mainly used to augment the main force units in those districts and provide security for key cities and installations. active force units. Naval reserve units will be used to augment coastal defense units and help the logistical elements bring stocks to wartime level. The Air Force maintains no known flying units in the reserves; its reserve units would augment and man AAA sites and augment logistical elements of the active force. CH-16 DECEMBER 1993 SEeHET * ONI-2660S-007-93-VOL II f SECTION Il CURRENT AND PROJECTED MILITARY CAPABILITIES (U) A. UNDERSEA WARFARE (U) 1. OVERVIEW (U) (4) The Chinese Navy's overall posture is defensive, based on the new doctrine of local war and its associated offshore defense strategy. The strategy is outward looking and acknowledges that war will be fought on land, on sea, and in the air at or near China's 'strategic boundary.' This boundary is defined as the distance essential to provide an adequate reaction time to external threats. Implicit in the strategy is the option for preemptive offensive operations along or beyond China's geographic borders and territorial waters. While ASW operations are an integral part of that philosophy, obsolete weapons and limited-range surveillance and detection systems allow for little more than a rudimentary standard of ASW. (4 WE cra China's submarine inventory consists of 86 units, both nuclear and conventional: the XIA SSBN, GP five a Ns; one MOD ROMEO Class SSG, GOLF SSB, and 70 ROMEO Class SSs. China is attempting to purchase significant improved weapons and sonar suites in an effort to upgrade the Navy's ASW capabilities. (YEP Although China's Navy possesses the world's third largest surface ASW force, it is primarily based upon dated technology. Surface ASW assets consist of 17 destroyers, 33 frigates, and 106 OK. ASW-capable patrol craft. The LUDA VIVIII Class DD, JIANGHU Vil Class FF, and HAINAN Class PC are China's primary ASW ships. While numerically impressive, almost all platforms use 1950s technology and are virtually ineffective against modern submarines. However, two new JIANGWEI Class FFs, one LUDA III Class DD, and one LUHU Class DD may provide a significant technological upgrade to the surface ASW force. A second LUHU DD and two more JIANGWEI FFs were recently launched. By constructing these larger and more capable platforms, and seeking to upgrade existing units by integrating improved technology, China has shown a dedication to improving its surface ASW capability. China's airborne ASW assets are produced domestically and consist of three ASW-configured SA-321J SUPER FRELON (ZHI-8) helicopters, one to five ASW-configured SA-365N DAUPHIN II (ZHI-9) helicopters, six SH-5 HARB A seaplanes, and an unknown number of Y-8 CUB, BE-6 MADGE, and B-5 BEAGLE. While the overall force is small, it is configured to employ Western sensors and weapons, and has developed some skill in coordinating airborne prosecution of a cooperating submarine. To date, this skill has been developed using 'canned' training—exercises that are not challenging and probably would limit the Navy's overall success against a modern submarine. 2.

The new platform may have at least 12-16 SLBM tubes and an upgraded navigation system, and should become operational between 2000 and 2005. A second-generation SLBM, the 8,000-km-range JL-2, is being developed for this follow-on. (3) China has also been developing a new-generation diesel-electric attack submarine. This unit was to be a single-hull, single-screw submarine of a contract to purchase three KILO Class submarines. and 25 H-6D BADGER bombers. The BADGER is capable of launching YJ-81 (C-801) ASCMs, which are believed to have a range of 40 km at high altitude. The BADGER is also capable of carrying YJ-82 (C-802) ASCMs, which have a range of 120 km at high altitude. The BADGER, however, has not been observed carrying the YJ-82. The bomber force is based on the mainland and is supported by a network of airfields along the coast. China is in the process of developing a new generation of airborne ASCMs, such as the YJ-83 and YJ-8C, which will be deployed on the H-6H bomber. The YJ-83 will have a range of 150 km at high altitude, while the YJ-8C will have a range of 200 km at high altitude. a.

China is building a new class of missile attack boats, the HOUJIAN Class, which is expected to be armed with the C802 SSM. One unit was launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. China is also building a new class of torpedo attack boats, the HUCHUAN Class, which is expected to be armed with the YU-7 torpedo. One unit was launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. (4) China also has a large inventory of patrol boats. The most modern is the HAINAN Class, which is armed with twin 37-mm AA guns. There are also more than 100 HUANGFENG, and SHANGHAI II Class boats, which are armed with twin 37-mm AA guns and twin 14.5-mm MGs. The newest patrol boat is the HAIJING, which is equipped with a helicopter deck and hangar. China is also building a new class of patrol boats, the HAIBO, which is expected to be armed with the C802 SSM. Two units were launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. (4) China's fleet of amphibious ships consists of more than 70 vessels, including tank landing ships, tank landing craft, and air cushioned landing craft. The most modern amphibious ships are the YUHAI and YUBEI Classes, which are each equipped with a helicopter deck and hangar, and can carry up to 500 troops. There are also 12 older, smaller landing ships that can carry up to 200 troops and have a helicopter deck. China is building a new class of landing ships, the YUDENG Class, which will be equipped with a helicopter deck and hangar. Two units were launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. (4) China's fleet of support ships includes more than 100 vessels, including oilers, repair ships, and tenders. The most modern are the DONGHAI and TAIHAI Classes, which can provide support to surface combatants and submarines. China also has a fleet of more than 20 tankers, which can provide support to naval units. China is building a new class of support ships, the HUZHOU Class, which may be equipped with the C802 SSM. One unit was launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. (4) China's fleet of auxiliary ships includes more than 400 vessels, including salvage ships, tugs, and minelayers. The most modern are the HUANGSHI and HUANGPU Classes. China is building a new class of auxiliary ships, the HUANG- GANG Class, which will be equipped with the C802 SSM.

(4) China's fleet of mine warfare ships includes more than 50 vessels, including mine coun- termeasures (MCM) ships and mine layers. The most modern are the WANNING and WANNING II Classes, which are each equipped with mine sweeping gear and can carry up to 100 mines. China is building a new class of MCM ships, the YANG- JIANG Class, which will be equipped with the C802 SSM. One unit was launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. China's fleet of mine warfare ships includes more than 50 vessels, including mine countermeasures (MCM) ships and mine layers.

One unit was launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. air defense forces. The (PTG) and missile patrol combatants (PGG). These constitute a formidable ASUW force, well suited for their mission of coastal ASUW. A notable addition to China's surface capability is a projected aircraft carrier that will probably be operational by 2007. The carrier will probably be built to carry fixed-wing aircraft. However, whether these will be vertical/short take-off and landing aircraft or conventional take-off and landing aircraft is unknown. Initially, the carrier will probably operate with multirole helicopters. 3. SUBMARINE THREAT (U) As China's submarine force consists of 5 nuclear attack and 78 diesel-electric attack submarines, however, these are based on 1950s and 1960s technology. Offensive and defensive missions of China's submarine force include coastal defense, mining, and ASUW against combatants and merchant shipping. The submarine force is the Navy's only effective means of challenging an enemy naval force at extended ranges from the Chinese coast. Chinese submarines routinely conduct ASUW operations involving nuclear and diesel attack submarines prosecuting destroyers, frigates, and landing ships. Additionally, ASUW operations have included small groups using a ""wolf pack"" approach to engage surface targets. Torpedo firings are rarely noted, and it is not known whether submarine ASUW exercises are scripted (although they appear to be). China's submarine ASUW threat could increase significantly by 2013 due to the possible procurement of Russian or Western naval technology in the fields of submarine quieting, and improved sensors and weapons, as well as through increased proficiency in the use of its newly acquired systems. 4. AMPHIBIOUS/COASTAL THREAT (U) a. Coastal Defense Forces (U) Responsibility for coastal defense lies with the Chinese Navy. As such, Coastal Defense Headquarters is subordinate to the Navy General Headquarters. Regional and local coastal defense forces are administered by the Coastal Defense Headquarters, but operational control is maintained by the three fleet area headquarters: North Sea, East Sea, and South Sea through their district and sector headquarters. Each fleet area has an extensive system of coastal defense-radar stations that play an important role in the surveillance of coastal waters. Additional radars are located in the immediate area of each naval base. There are 21-23 coastal defense sites employing the (HY-2) missile. b. Coastal Defense Missiles (U) The Navy has operational control of the ASCMs that serve as backup to China's seaborne forces. China also has fixed coastal defense artillery sites. Though little is known about these sites, they are believed to be manned by naval reserve forces. It is unlikely that China would attempt to increase the number of artillery sites or upgrade its coastal defense artillery system. More likely, coastal defense artillery will be phased out in favor of a mobile coastal defense missile system. This would be in line with both cost-cutting efforts and a desire to increase capabilities. While information about Chinese land mine warfare capability is scarce, China probably possesses a large inventory of various types of anti-personnel and anti-tank mines. There is currently no information about any types of minefields on or near beach areas, but China does have the capability to emplace such mines. Naval mine warfare is an important component of China's defensive military doctrine. The air defense forces. the C802 has a 100-km range and a warhead. The YJ-82 is being fitted on the new HAINAN and LUHU Class DDs and on JIANGHU Class FFGs. The C802 also will be fitted on the new 037II Class FACs. e. Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (U) (1) The SA-N-7 (GADFLY) is the primary air de- fense missile for the LUDA I and II and JIANGHU I and II Classes. The missile is a modified version of the Soviet SA-N-7, which is a naval version of the SA-6 GAINFUL. The GADFLY is a two-stage, solid- fuel missile with a range of 12 km and a speed of Mach 2.5. The missile is equipped with a 40-kg fragmentation warhead and can be launched in all weather conditions. The GADFLY is a beam-riding missile that is directed to its target by a continuous- wave radar beam. The GADFLY is carried in a twin- rail, trainable launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the LUDA and JIANGHU Classes. (2) The SA-N-7B (GADFLY MOD 2) is a modified version of the SA-N-7 that is carried on the LUDA III and JIANGHU III Classes. The GADFLY MOD 2 has a range of 15 km and, like the SA-N-7, is a beam-rid- ing missile that is directed to its target by a continu- ous-wave radar beam. The GADFLY MOD 2 is equipped with a 70-kg fragmentation warhead and has a speed of Mach 2.5. The GADFLY MOD 2 is carried in a trainable, twin-rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the LUDA III and JIANGHU III Classes. (3) The SA-N-12 (GRIZZLY) is the primary air de- fense missile on the LUDA IV Class. The GRIZZLY is a modified version of the Soviet SA-N-12. The GRIZZLY is a two-stage, solid-fuel missile with a range of 40 km and a speed of Mach 2.8. The mis- sile is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and can be launched in all weather conditions. The GRIZZLY is a semiactive radar homing missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GRIZZLY is carried in a trainable, twin- rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the LUDA IV Class. (4) The SA-N-12B (GRIZZLY MOD 2) is a modified version of the SA-N-12 that is carried on the LUDA V Class. The GRIZZLY MOD 2 has a range of 40 km and, like the SA-N-12, is a semiactive radar homing missile that is directed to its target by a continuous- wave radar beam. The GRIZZLY MOD 2 is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and has a speed of Mach 2.8. The GRIZZLY MOD 2 is carried in a trainable, twin-rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the LUDA V Class. (5) The SA-N-9 (GASKIN) is the primary air de- fense missile on the JIANGHU IV Class. The GASKIN is a modified version of the Soviet SA-N-9. The GASKIN is a two-stage, solid-fuel missile with a range of 12 km and a speed of Mach 2.8. The mis- sile is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and can be launched in all weather conditions. The GASKIN is a beam-riding missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GASKIN is carried in a trainable, twin-rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the JIANGHU IV Class. (6) The SA-N-9B (GASKIN MOD 2) is a modified version of the SA-N-9 that is carried on the JIANGHU V Class. The GASKIN MOD 2 has a range of 12 km and, like the SA-N-9, is a beam-riding missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GASKIN MOD 2 is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and has a speed of Mach 2.8. The GASKIN MOD 2 is carried in a trainable, twin- rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the JIANGHU V Class. (7) The SA-N-9C (GASKIN MOD 3) is a modified version of the SA-N-9 that is carried on the JIANGHU VI Class. The GASKIN MOD 3 has a range of 12 km and, like the SA-N-9, is a beam-riding missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GASKIN MOD 3 is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and has a speed of Mach 2.8. The GASKIN MOD 3 is carried in a trainable, twin- rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the JIANGHU VI Class. (8) The SA-N-6 (GRUMBLE) is the primary air de- fense missile on the LUDA I and II Classes. The GRUMBLE is a modified version of the Soviet SA-N-6. The GRUMBLE is a two-stage, solid-fuel missile with a range of 40 km and a speed of Mach 2.8. The mis- sile is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and can be launched in all weather conditions. The GRUMBLE is a semiactive radar homing missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GRUMBLE is carried in a trainable, twin- rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the LUDA I and II Classes. (9) The SA-N-6B (GRUMBLE MOD 2) is a modified version of the SA-N-6 that is carried on the LUDA III and JIANGHU III Classes. The GRUMBLE MOD 2 has a range of 40 km and, like the SA-N-6, is a semiactive radar homing missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GRUMBLE MOD 2 is equipped tems. The Chinese have also begun to divest them- . . . . . selves of a number of older aircraft, such as the F-6, 2. AIRCRAFT WEAPONS (U) . F-7, and A-5, and to reduce the size of the force. a. Air-to-Air Missiles (U) b. (U) The Chinese Air Force has a mix of air-to-air missiles, including the PL-2, PL-5, PL-8, PL-9, and PL-11. The PL-2 and PL-5 are short-range IR missiles, while the PL-8 and PL-9 are medium-range IR missiles. The PL-11 is a BVR missile with semi-active radar homing. The PL-2 and PL-5 are considered obsolete and are being replaced by the PL-8 and PL-9. The PL-11, although a BVR missile, is limited by its semi-active radar homing and is not considered a true BVR capability. China is also developing a new BVR missile, the PL-12, which is expected to have an active radar homing system. It is unclear when the PL-12 will be operational. Items. Since the early 1960s rift with the Soviet Union, foreign acquisitions have usually been limited to small quantities for use in reverse engineering of systems. Current efforts are centering around outright acquisition of large numbers of critical systems and negotiations to produce modern equipment in China. Key areas the Chinese are concentrating on include airframe technology, avionics, propulsion, China's first indigenous fourth-generation fighter aircraft, armaments, and subsystems components. Perhaps as important, China is also finally seeking to acquire basic ""know-how"" in such areas as industrial quality control and testing. The latter should produce better results across the board, including reverse engineering efforts. The Chinese Air Force will probably continue to downsize its air interceptor force, from some 93 regiments in 1994 to 32 regiments by 2013. Older fighters such as the F-6 FARMER DIG will be phased out first, while slightly more capable all-weather fighters like the F-6 FARMER B/E will remain in the inventory longer. Production of the F-10 will be equivalent to a reduced-signature fourth-generation Western fighter and is projected to continue until around 2003, when F-10 production could be underway. Trial batch production of the new F-7E, which began in 1993, will result in operational deployment of the first F-7E by 1994 or 1995. The F-10 has been under development since the mid-1980s and is projected to enter production by 2003 at the latest. In an attempt to improve air interception capabilities, the Chinese may either purchase Russian MiG-31M FOXHOUND interceptors and eventually produce them under license or acquire more Su-27s with production licensing. If the Chinese decide to acquire the MiG-31M/Su-27, they will do so as a result of DESERT STORM. The Chinese Air Force bomber force is built around the B-6 BADGER and the B-5 BEAGLE. Both aircraft are based on obsolescent airframe designs and use very old avionics. Bomber forces are projected to bear a greater burden than fighter forces in future reductions. By 2013, the Chinese bomber force is projected to be one-third of its current size, from 17 regiments to around 6. Negotiations between Russia and China concerning Tu-22M BACKFIRE sales have reportedly been delayed until 1998 or beyond. The BACKFIRE would give China an improved bombing capability. If the BACKFIRE is procured, it will be in small numbers due to the cost. Newer generations of Chinese fighters and bombers have an airborne refueling capability, but require airborne tanker assets, which are projected to be in production no later than 1998. The Chinese Naval Air Force's mission is to provide air defense of ports and naval installations as well as air protection for fleet units. Other tasks that fall within its purview include ASUW, maritime reconnaissance, aerial minelaying, ASW operations, ground attack, and limited logistics support. The Naval Air Force would augment the Air Force during hostilities (and vice versa). The Naval Air Force operates a mixture of B-6 BADGER and B-5 BEAGLE bombers; A-5 FANTAN, F-6 FARMER, F-7 FISHBED, F-8-I FINBACK A, and F-8-H FINBACK B fighters and fighter-bombers; SUPER FRELON and DAUPHIN helicopters; and small transports. Remarks concerning the age and capabilities of Air Force aircraft apply to similar naval aircraft. The newest aircraft in the Chinese Navy inventory include the F-8-II and F-8-I and a limited number of carrier-based ASCM-armed B-6D BADGERs. The Chinese Navy will probably upgrade F-6, F-7, A-5, and B-5 aircraft with the new F-7E, possibly the SUPER 7, and the projected F-8-II and F-10. the 1950s, China acquired a significant number of Soviet 130-mm B13 guns, which were installed on various Chinese-built warships. The Chinese also developed a 130-mm gun, the Type 59, which was a copy of the Soviet B13. The Type 59 was used on destroyers and frigates, and later on the LUHU and LUYANG Classes. This gun is still in production, and its latest variant is the Type 79, which is used on the JIANGWEI II Class. In the 1980s, China began developing its own 130-mm gun, the Type 76. This gun is similar in design to the Soviet AK-130, but with some modifications. It is used on the JIANGHU III and JIANGWEI I Classes. The Type 76 has also been exported to other countries, such as Pakistan. China has also developed a 100-mm gun, the Type 79, which is used on the LUZHOU and LUYANG II Classes. This gun is a copy of the Soviet AK-100, with some minor modifications. In addition to these larger guns, China also produces smaller caliber guns for air defense, such as the 37-mm Type 76 and 25-mm Type 76. These guns are used on various ships, including the LUZHOU and JIANGHU Classes. China's AAA capabilities are also limited. Most ships are equipped with 14.5-mm or 23-mm guns for close range air defense, but these are not very effective against modern aircraft. China has also developed a 30-mm gun, the Type 76, which is used on the JIANGHU III and JIANGWEI I Classes. However, these guns are not widely deployed and are not considered very effective. In summary, China's naval guns and AAA systems are limited in capability and effectiveness. While China has made some progress in developing its own guns, many of these are still copies of Soviet designs and are outdated. China's lack of modern fire control systems also hinders the effectiveness of these weapons. In summary, China's naval guns and AAA systems are limited in capability and effectiveness. While China has made some progress in developing its own guns, many of these are still copies of Soviet designs and are outdated. China's lack of modern fire control systems also hinders the effectiveness of these weapons. In the 1980s, the Chinese continued to produce and deploy outdated gun systems, and a requirement for Western assistance to improve their naval gun designs was obvious. For example, Chinese ships were still being fitted with completely manual twin 37-mm mounts copied from a Russian system designed in the 1940s. To gain assistance, Chinese delegations visited various Western gun manufacturers. Recent developments indicate that the Chinese have been able to adapt some Western technology to their newest systems. CH-37 SECRETARY QUAY DECEMBER 1993 In recent years, the following general conclusions are still valid: + China is actively engaged in a fairly extensive R&D program in naval gun/gun mount design. * China has difficulty with both large- and small-caliber gun designs but has made some progress. * China is not on a technological par with either the West or Russia in the area of naval guns. * China is actively seeking outside assistance to improve its naval gun technology. Despite making progress, China will not achieve technological parity with the West within the next 10 to 15 years. Because the Chinese do not have the advantage of a broad naval gun technology base, they will continue to seek outside assistance. Assuming Chinese negotiations with other countries continue and a technology exchange program is established, there will be a more rapid improvement in Chinese naval guns. The Chinese will continue their efforts to develop automated naval gun systems. A possible candidate is a follow-on to their 57-mm series. The 57-mm Type 66, the basic model, was followed by the more automated Type 76 system. The Type 76 is already capable of being directed by radar but requires an enlarged automatic feed system and enclosure for improved capability. The Chinese have both mounts on their patrol craft and destroyers. A new twin 57-mm that could be available in the next 5 years will be a fully automatic enclosed mount. This will allow for an all-weather capability and an improved response time against air threats. A 30-mm replacement for the Type 69 (AK-230) is also possible in the next 5-10 years. As an alternative to producing a 30-mm Gatling gun, the Chinese may move to a Western 35-mm system. Oerlikon-Contraves of Switzerland has licensed the China North Industries Corporation (Norinco) to produce the GDF-003 land-based twin 35-mm AA gun and associated ammunition. China's efforts to incorporate Western technologies in any future large caliber gun systems will continue. The newest twin 100-mm is a probable step in that direction, and further efforts on that mount and any follow-ons are expected. In the next 15-20 years, the Chinese will likely deploy a new 100-mm or larger gun system. DECEMBER 1993 Threat to U.S. Naval and Marine Forces (1993-2013) (U) (U) Chinese ballistic missiles equipped with inertial guidance systems are not a threat to blue-water maritime operations and probably will not be in the near future. The Chinese ballistic missile threat to ships at sea will remain low until terminal homing sensors are developed and deployed. China will likely continue to rely on its aerodynamic missiles to attack ships at sea or close to shore. Within the theater, ballistic missiles (primarily short- and medium-range) with nuclear, chemical, conventional unitary, or submunition warheads can threaten airfields, operating bases, ships in port, aircraft on the ground, troops ashore, and military formations. The threat to mobile maritime targets, littoral maritime assets, and troops ashore will increase in the future as SRBM/MRBM inertial guidance accuracies increase, terminal homing sensors are developed and deployed, and targeting, reconnaissance and C3 systems are enhanced. MERCHANT FLEET (U) Fleet Status (U) The Chinese merchant fleet can provide support and troop lift capability in time of emergency. The fleet ranks third in the world in number of ships. and eighth in deadweight tonnage (DWT). (4) In terms of ship age, the Chinese fleet is one of the oldest among the world's major merchant fleets. To renew the fleet, China has vigorously exploited the secondhand market. Acquisition of second-hand tonnage is expected to continue, taking full advantage of opportunities such as the current depressed market in used bulk carriers. Bulk carriers have little or military utility, however. (4) A total of 871 known seagoing Chinese cargo ships have a combined lift capacity of about 8,000,000 metric tons. They have a considerable potential for trooplift and logistics support for short-haul and near-sea operations. The 176 tankers could transport about 21,000,000 barrels (U.S.) of petroleum and related products. Almost all are of a size (generally 50,000 DWT or less) suitable for emergency transport duties. It is estimated that more than 90 passenger-carrying ships have at least 30,000 passenger berths in normal trade and could easily carry more than 100,000 troops in emergency service. In addition, there are countless coastal and riverine ferries capable of making short hauls. Traditional junks could further augment this capacity, if needed. The majority of Chinese merchant ships have operate operating speeds of 11-17.9 knots; 130 ships have unusually low operating speeds of under 11 knots, but 179 (147 cargo and 32 passenger) have operating speeds of 18 knots or more. China has 133 ships with both heavy-lift booms (40 tons or greater) and a long hatch (15 m or greater), 420 ships with only a long hatch, 248 ships with only a heavy-lift feature, and 43 ships with a single boom capacity in excess of 100 tons. All of these special features greatly enhance the fleet's military support potential. The growing fleet of offshore fishing, research, salvage, and resource exploitation ships are also readily adaptable to military or paramilitary roles. (4) China's DE YUE and its sister DE DA are two of the largest tugs in the world, with bollard pull of 205 tons each. They are the top ships in a fleet of more than 30 major salvage vessels that China has positioned in the ports of Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Yentai. They would provide a valuable military auxiliary force with little or no modification. (4) The Space Event Support Ship YUAN WANG and its QI are the largest of a fleet of oceangoing research vessels under the Chinese Academy of Science and the State Bureau of Oceanography, which is believed to number more than 60 ships. Some are equipped with towed petroleum exploration seismic arrays, and all could provide communications support (although not secure communications) for command and control of other units. (4) The oceangoing fleet is augmented by a significant number of ships under 1,000 gross tons (GRT) in coastal trade or ships that are in normal service on the extensive Chinese river system. There are an estimated 300,000-400,000 junks in China, with a combined freight capacity of 3-4 million tons. Many are motorized and of sufficient size to perform duties as military auxiliaries, or to carry troops or materiel. DECEMBER 1993 (4) China also owns 216 ships of 8,000,000 total under foreign registry, scattered mainly among the Hong Kong, Panamanian, and Liberian flags; however, more than half of these ships are militarily useless bulk carriers. Dry cargo ships are the second largest group among these, and full container ships are the third largest. 2. CONTROL (U) (4) Chinese merchant shipping is controlled by the Ministry of Communications. Daily administrative and operational control is exercised through regional and local shipping companies and their subsidiaries or agents abroad. The largest shipping enterprise is the China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO), whose overall tonnage accounts for roughly 75% of the total Chinese merchant fleet. COSCO management is decentralized. b. Long-Term Developments (U) (4) In the long term, China's maritime industry is expected to further expand and modernize, with an increasing focus on international trade and global maritime transportation. The Chinese government will continue to invest in port infrastructure and shipbuilding capabilities, while also promoting the development of domestic shipping companies and the training of skilled maritime personnel. China's growing economy and increasing global presence are likely to drive significant growth in its maritime industry, making it a major player in the global shipping market. That left China behind in the 1970s and 1980s. General cargo ships will decline in number as more containerships join the fleet. As industrial production increases, the numbers of Chinese-owned bulk carriers and oil and chemical tankers are likely to increase. The percentage of Chinese-owned ships required to meet China's foreign trade requirements will decline as its ports open to foreign-flag shipping. China will take over Hong Kong in 1997 and use Hong Kong's shipping finance niche to raise the necessary capital to finance the continued development of its ports, and to build and modernize the merchant fleet. b. Ten-Year Developments (U) (The China's 5-year (1993-1998) trends and developments will continue. As offshore oil and gas deposits are likely to become fully commercially exploitable, orders for liquefied natural gas/liquefied petroleum gas (LNG/LPG) tankers and petroleum and other lubricant (POL) tankers could skyrocket, with the bulk of the tankers likely to be built domestically. China's shipbuilding technology will enter into high-technology areas (such as LNG/LPG carriers) and high-manpower projects (such as passenger ships). Most of the ships will come from Chinese rather than foreign yards. The ports developed in southern China are expected to reduce Hong Kong's growth in the share of cargo volume or numbers of containers handled. c. Twenty-Year Developments (U) (49 China may be a world leader in maritime transportation. Its merchant fleet and maritime industries are expected to rival those of Japan. It is quite possible that the Chinese merchant fleet will be the largest national fleet in the world. Direct trade links with Taiwan will likely have been established. All of China's trade is expected to be two-way, rendering the need for Hong Kong and Taiwan to act as conduits for trade between China and the outside world obsolete.",Confidential,DISC_Security,"DECEMBER 1993 SET - ONI-2660S-007-93-VOL II WORLDWIDE THREAT TO U.S. NAVY AND MARINE FORCES, Qa (U) VOLUME II COUNTRY STUDY: CHINA (U) ONI-2660S-007-93-VOL II DECEMBER 1993 INFORMATION CUTOFF DATE 31 DECEMBER 1993 PREPARED BY THE OFFICE OF NAVAL INTELLIGENCE eee eye ENCLOSURE( / ) DECEMBER 1993 S T - ONI-2660S-007-93-VOL II SECTION | STRATEGIC OVERVIEW (U) A. REGIONAL SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS (U) 1. NATIONAL GOALS (U) (4) China wants to evolve into what it terms 'a world class economic and military power' by 2020, and wants to achieve that status in terms of international recognition as well as in its own eyes. Two important factors affect this goal: (1) how its domestic political system evolves and (2) the legal status of Taiwan. The latter could 'rejoin' the mainland, maintain the status quo, or seek independence. Alternate scenarios for Chinese domestic politics involve either incremental change toward a more 'guided' democracy or a return to a more hard-line ideology. Regardless of the scenario, China's strategic interests are likely to remain constant, but its ability to reach its goals will vary. Another constant in Chinese political thought is the importance of moderating change to preserve internal and external stability. (4) China does not perceive any large-scale threat from either global or major regional powers through 2010. Concern over territorial disputes with virtually all its neighbors has spurred China to seek a reduction in tensions along its borders in order to create a stable regional environment conducive to its domestic modernization programs. This does not mean, however, that China will avoid conflicts at all costs, or that it will not be tempted to pressure weaker regional rivals should benefits accrue from such action without detracting from longer term goals. Indeed, China views intra-regional conflicts as the most likely contingencies for the future, and is restructuring its military forces to allow for more rapid, flexible response and preemptive reaction capabilities. (4) Since 1980, China's perceptions of a declining Soviet/Russian threat and generally benign global environment have encouraged it to prioritize economic and industrial development over military expenditures. China believes there is little risk of major conflict through at least 2010. This will allow China time to pursue a foreign policy of peace and independence increasingly focused on economic issues as it concentrates domestic efforts on modernization. Its foreign policy has been, and will remain, nonaligned. China considers good relations with the United States to be vital, yet seeks to counter what it perceives to be U.S. 'hegemonic tendencies' in the New World Order. (u) Relations between China and other key countries include the following: + Japan represents a prime source of trade, aid, investment, and technology transfer but is also perceived by China as the greatest potential military threat, especially if Japan acquires nuclear weapons or a power projection capability. Sino-Japanese relations will continue to improve, and there is an impetus toward mutual economic accommodation and stability. * Russia, in spite of Chinese perceptions of its longer-term military threat potential, is currently enjoying a rapprochement with China. Chinese leadership sees conflict with Russia through 2008 as remote. * The Koreas remain a lingering concern. China sees peaceful reunification of the two countries as optimal, with crisis containment as a fallback posture. + Southeast Asia is a factor in China's sphere of influence, making potential Indian encroachment there a prime Chinese concern. Conflict with Vietnam remains the most likely short-term threat. The traditional rivalry between India and China has temporarily subsided. Leaders in Beijing and New Delhi are making efforts to forge a new relationship by implementing confidence-building measures on all fronts. The forces will be much greater than those of today. Recent rapprochement suggests that both India and China view conflict as highly unlikely for the next 10 years, even though territorial disputes and the issue of Pakistan remain. Taiwan, which Beijing views as a wayward province, probably will remain a separate entity, but pressure for reunification will continue, even with the passing of the old guard on both sides of the straits. Reunification by force would prove too costly in military terms, and the economy would suffer because of the potential for the flight of capital and technological know-how and international political condemnation. Both Macao and Hong Kong will have been absorbed by 1999, perhaps retaining much of their political and economic status quo. If Taiwan judges that their reintegration has produced sufficient guarantees for the continuation of a ""one country, two systems"" formula, then Taiwan too might eventually choose such an option. This decision could take place before 2013, perhaps emerging incrementally as much as a decade earlier. A strong foundation for rapprochement is being built through increased bilateral contacts, and trade and investment links. Whether by political or military means, absorption of Taiwan's financial wealth, industrial base, and production capabilities would eventually yield considerable advantages to China. Aside from political and cultural factors, Taiwan would also benefit from a reduced defense burden and greater ability to exploit economic links to the mainland. Although there are currently two Chinese entities (China and Taiwan), some fundamental common ""national"" interests persist. Territorial issues are prime among them. Further, for some armed conflicts - such as with Japan - it is entirely possible that, despite their differences, Taiwan could help shoulder a temporary common defense burden with China. Naturally, a peaceful evolution toward integration would provide the greatest benefit to China, allowing it to increase significantly both its regional and its military capabilities. Of the two main political-economic scenarios possible in China, the more likely depicts a slow, orderly transition toward greater relaxation of central Communist Party control over at least economic life and, to a lesser (and more gradual) degree, political life. Although less likely, a revolutionary ""coup"" is possible. Should the hard-line faction of the Communist Party seek to reassert its former control, China would suffer great dislocation. Progress would be stifled, precipitating a severe slowdown of economic growth and inviting retaliation from China's trading partners. Although China would have fewer public funds to budget as a result of the economic slowdown, it could devote a larger percentage to defense, at least in the short-to-mid term. 2. PERSPECTIVE (U) The size of China's military can be misleading. Capabilities still fall short of expectations, even in the minds of China's civilian and military leaders. They have recognized for some time that the mere size of their forces and the willingness to accept great sacrifices of men and territory to attrite the will of a determined enemy would not afford them the best defense. This was further emphasized by the lessons in modern warfare provided by DESERT STORM. China realized modernization was imperative. This has resulted in a change in strategic thinking whereby China will gradually reduce its numbers and create smaller but more effective armed forces. Resulting savings, plus an expanded defense budget, will allow more expenditure on training and technology per soldier and materiel ""unit."" Beijing wants to replace its military equipment, much of which is reaching - or has already reached - obsolescence, with state-of-the-art military equipment by 2020. If it is able to do that, the overall capability of its future numerically smaller armed forces will be much greater than those of today. o forces will increase dramatically. Achieving that strategic goal depends on three factors: * The rate of progress among foreign technology leaders; * Gaining access to foreign innovations or, failing that, indigenous breakthroughs to narrow the capabilities gap that currently exists between world standards and current Chinese technological sophistication; and * The ability and commitment to afford such improvements. (U) China's relative isolation from the 1950s through the 1970s—a period that included the disruption and upheaval of the Great Leap Forward and the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution—followed by turbulence through the mid-1980s make particularly problematical any extrapolation about China's ability to modernize militarily. On the one hand, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution destroyed almost a generation of intellectuals; schools were disrupted, colleges and universities were completely shut down. These events resulted in a genuine shortage of qualified personnel in many scientific specialties, in turn affecting both research and production. This in part explains China's failure to make meaningful advances in its efforts to modernize its armed forces during the period. (U) On the other hand, in March 1985, China codified two major reforms in science and technology. First, China abandoned the Soviet-style, vertical responsibility system of central planning in favor of greater institutional and management flexibility. Second, China discarded much of its xenophobic and nationalistic sensitivities, turning to the industrialized countries for technological and scientific knowledge, cooperation, and investment. China already had been exploiting advanced educational systems worldwide to great effect since the early 1980s (over half of its students return from studies abroad). These efforts have dramatically changed China's technological landscape, creating a new baseline of capability. 3. THREAT PERCEPTIONS (U) (4 ete A major factor in current East Asian regional geopolitics is the difference between the military budgets of the region’s key states. Although totaling less than one percent of its GNP, Japan's military budget is still greater than the combined official military expenditures of China, Taiwan, and South Korea. The weight of this large imbalance will change only slowly. China will continue to see the Russian military presence in the Far East as benign, at least through 2003. Conflict between China and India remains possible, especially if either China or India perceives changes in the other’s relative political and/or military advantage that would affect either their spheres of influence or the military balance. China welcomes U.S. East Asian presence (as a guarantor of peace), yet fears and condemns alleged U.S. ‘‘hegemonist’’ initiatives worldwide. (¢) ‘G8B China is concerned about potential Japanese, Russian, and Indian military challenges but still considers them remote possibilities and mainly of longer-term concern. China perceives military challenges by such lesser Southeast Asian states as Vietnam as more likely. The main impetus for Chinese military modernization will remain largely the goals of national survival through deterrence and maintaining prestige through national presence on the regional scene. (¢) Competing South China Sea claims over the Nansha Archipelago (Spratly Islands) remain an irritant to the Chinese. Nonetheless, China seeks to participate in bilateral talks over joint exploitation with all claimants, including Vietnam; however, efforts with the latter appear to be no more than lip service. The other claimants are Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei. China’s position regarding sovereignty remains unwavering: Chinese interests transcend mere resource potential. The strategic value of the islands is of greater concern as China seeks to consolidate a position of strength in the region and project power beyond its borders. n of regional primacy. Competing claims could inspire an early test of China’s growing power projection capability against a weaker Vietnam. B. INTERNAL POLITICAL SITUATION (U) The major imperative for all internal Chinese political factions is maintaining socio-political stability. Internal pressure for change will grow with the passing of the last of the revolutionary old guard. These leaders, most of whom are in their mid-80s, may not rule through 1998. Two major camps (the guardians of ideological rectitude versus Deng Xiaoping's reformists) continue to solicit disciples. Reformists seeking greater economic and political freedom are currently in the ascendancy and will likely gradually continue to gain over ideologues focused on Communist Party primacy. Deng may be the last ""Paramount Leader."" Successors of lesser stature will probably be forced to form a collegial leadership and to rule through greater elite consensus rather than fiat. Domestic political evolution probably will not be smooth but will continue to be affected by competing extremes alternately pushing for reform or retrenchment. Possible, but less likely, alternate scenarios include the two extremes of China rejecting the Party and its ideology in favor of ""democracy,"" or China returning to a more revolutionary strain of leadership. The latter could derail or negate much of the recent economic growth, but military acquisition programs would be easier to justify, if not finance, under such a scheme. Regardless of who rules in China, maintaining stability (law and order) will be the prime motivator and goal.

However, if one uses the more traditional (but equally C. ECONOMIC OVERVIEW (U) (U) Economic changes will be spurred by slower population growth, which will allow for greater socio-economic benefits and assuage rising socio-economic expectations, and the success of the dynamic free enterprise system taking root in most of the south’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs), which are spearheading GNP growth. Economics remains a controversial doctrinal topic in China. Growing prosperity and rising expectations are becoming part of the socio-political fabric, but unrestrained growth threatens Party primacy. The major economic Achilles heel continues to be uneven growth and volatile inflationary pressure. Controlling inflation while moderating its social impact is imperative and is likely to preoccupy whatever regime is in power. (U) The economic success of the coastal zones is undeniable, directly benefiting about a fifth of the population. The remainder of the population, almost 900 million mainly rural workers in the interior of the country, is largely unaffected by the positive aspects of this rapid GDP growth, while still subject to inflation’s steady erosion of buying power. Most are thought to be either slightly bettering their living standards or keeping pace with inflation. But, almost 400 million Chinese are in fact in economic decline. This has caused serious, but still isolated, political disturbances. Economic relief for this political center of gravity—the peasantry—has become imperative. (U) Nonetheless, even with the economic downturn caused by the Tiananmen Square massacre of June 1989, the period 1983-1992 yielded a healthy 9% yearly average growth in GNP (1992's real growth rate, adjusted against inflation, is estimated at 12.8%). In spite of fears of the economy becoming ""superheated,"" real GNP growth for 1993 is expected to better last year’s record. Real growth rates of 7-8% are likely for the foreseeable future, led by the coastal SEZs’ booming growth (24% in 1992). This could eventually free more funds for military development. Chinese economic statistics have historically been highly unreliable. CHINA duction, resulting in a ‘‘defense-related’’ budget that is much larger than the announced figure. The Chinese military budget is focused on three major areas: force modernization, force expan- sion, and force readiness. Force modernization is the primary goal of the defense budget, with a focus on acquiring advanced weapons systems and technolo- gies. Force expansion is a secondary goal, with a focus on increasing the size and capabilities of the military force. Force readiness is the final goal, with a focus on improving the training, logistics, and overall readiness of the military. China's defense budget has been increasing at a steady pace over the past few decades, with a particular focus on modernization and expansion since the 1980s. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years, as China seeks to further modernize its military and expand its global influence. However, the actual size and capabilities of China's military remain a subject of debate, as the official budget does not fully reflect the extent of Chinese military spending. Additionally, China's military budget is likely to be affected by economic and political changes, both domestically and internationally. the Gulf War, Chinese military analysts have placed greater emphasis on the role of high-technology weapons and have come to see the development of such weapons as a key to their future military strength. However, as noted above, China's ability to acquire such weapons is limited, and it will take time to develop the necessary industrial infrastruc- ture to produce them domestically. In the meantime, China will continue to rely on its large numbers of conventional weapons, which can be modernized and upgraded to improve their capabilities. In addition to modernizing its conventional forces, China has also placed increased emphasis on its nuclear deterrent. China's nuclear strategy is based on a ‘‘minimal deterrent’’ posture, with an emphasis on survivability and the ability to retaliate in the event of a nuclear attack. China's nuclear arsenal is estimated to consist of approximately 250 warheads, with the majority of these being deployed on land- based ballistic missiles. China is also developing new nuclear-capable missile systems, including a new submarine-launched ballistic missile and a new intercontinental ballistic missile. China's military modernization efforts are also being driven by its desire to assert itself as a global power. China's leaders have emphasized the need for a strong military to protect China's expanding economic and political interests around the world. This has led to an increased focus on power projection capabilities, including the development of a blue-water navy and the acquisition of advanced aircraft and missiles. Overall, China's military modernization efforts are likely to continue in the coming years, driven by the country's desire to protect its national interests and assert itself as a global power. While China's military capabilities still lag behind those of the United States and other advanced nations, its large numbers and growing technological capabilities make it a formidable force that cannot be ignored. nue, with the force shrinking to between 1.6 mil- lion and 2 million personnel by the year 2000. This will be accomplished by cutting back on the number of divisions and brigades and reorganizing the remaining units into more mobile, better trained, Qe (4, true warfare as: ‘‘ C CERT STORM, the Chinese are reorienting their defense strategy to contend with the most likely prospect of defending their territory against the tactics and technology demonstrated by the West against Iraq. The strategy of ‘luring deep’’ is no longer a viable defense strategy in light of a modernizing China pursuing economic and industrial development. China is no longer able or willing to pay for military inferiority at the expense of sacrifices of blood, territory, and infrastructure. The Chinese Navy is also adjusting to this new thinking. Traditionally, the Navy was primarily a coastal force, designed to counter amphibious landings and to ‘‘take the People’s War to sea.""” It had little capability for mobile offensive operations. But the emergence of the Doctrine of Local War and its associated ‘‘offshore defense’’ strategy has brought about the concept of mobile combat groups of missile ships. Again implementation may lag, but the direction is clear. The Chinese naval leadership characterizes mobile, flexible, limited (in time, space, and objectives), and offensive in nature.’' Most current assets are ill-suited for this role, and the Navy is only slowly acquiring platforms, weapons, and sensors better able to meet the new goals. Logically, the distances at which Chinese naval task forces will be able to operate from shore will increase in an evolutionary manner as new capabilities permit. Ultimately, combat groups must be able to deploy rapidly to trouble spots. Once there, they must be able to gain the initiative in early stages of conflicts by launching offensive operations or controlling the situation through the coordinated support of naval air, submarine, and other service arms. Again, these are doctrinal goals and, although capabilities will tend to lag, the direction is clear. To be successful, future naval units and combat groups must be deployed forward and/or be on constant patrol in contiguous regions where conflicts may erupt. While Chinese military leaders repeatedly speak of highly mobile and capable combat groups consisting of large- and medium-size combatants with sophisticated weapons, they do not expect such forces to become operational until the late 1990s, and then only on a limited basis. These qualitative definitions are future goals and relative to the regional context, rather than implying parity with the West. Extra-regional deployments are not contemplated, except for extraordinary training cruises or similar diplomatic visits. 2. FORCE STRUCTURE (U) (U, (3) The transformation of China's force structure is being spurred on by changing perceptions of strategic realities. China currently believes that the environment through 2013 will be comparatively stable when compared to the past 20 years. China does not foresee any major direct external threats to its security. However, according to Chinese writings, local conflicts over territory with its neighbors (particularly those in the south) can hardly be avoided. Vietnam is China's most likely adversary, with hostilities becoming more likely between 1996 and 2000. While China continues to assume its traditional defensive posture, military planners have begun to reevaluate concepts of strategic defense and tactical offense as the basic tenets of the Doctrine of Local War. Such a doctrinal shift will increasingly have a major impact on the evolution of China's force structure, especially as emphasis is shifted from the traditional Army priority to a more balanced tri-service apportionment of funds. a. Ground Forces (U) QP China will continue to develop a ground force that is smaller, more streamlined, and more mobile. This should make it easier for China to respond rapidly to trouble spots internally and along China's periphery. Since 1987, the ground force has been reduced from 3 million to some 2.3 million personnel. The drawdown is expected to continue, with the force shrinking to between 1.6 million and 2 million personnel by the year 2000. This will be accomplished by cutting back on the number of divisions and brigades and reorganizing the remaining units into more mobile, better trained, y will continue to attract a large number of high-quality recruits through the year 2013. Although the military has been plagued by a high turnover rate, it is expected to decline as the economy improves. In the interim, however, the military will continue to face problems retaining qualified personnel, particularly in the noncommissioned officer (NCO) ranks. This prob- lem is exacerbated by the fact that the best and most experienced NCOs are being promoted to officer ranks. In addition, the increasing emphasis on rapid mobilization and deployment will require the military to train more personnel to operate sophisti- cated weapons and equipment. China has a long history of military training and a large, well- established system of military academies and schools. However, it is still plagued by inadequate training facilities and a lack of realism in training. The PLA is attempting to modernize its training methods and facilities, but the process is slow and will continue through 2013. DECEMBER 1993 entire ground force is immense (and financially pro- hibitive). Therefore, priority will go to select rapid- response units within the overall force structure. Major shortcomings in large-scale troop movement capability, air defense, and electronic warfare sys- tems will continue to plague the ground forces through 2003. By 2013, these forces will represent a formidable challenge to any potential opponent. b. Air Force (U) (S-ae China is committed to developing a smaller but more capable air force. Force structure has been cut significantly since 1987 and reductions will con- tinue through 2003, when strength will level out at 200,000 personnel. Despite decades of effort, China must continue to rely on a large fleet of obsolescent aircraft through the year 2000. In the meantime, to fill critical near-term requirements, China acquired a regiment of 26 Su-27 FLANKER fighters from Rus- sia and has ordered another regiment of 24 FLANK- c. Naval Forces (U) (SW Since the mid 1980s, Chinese leaders have realized that modernization efforts must include overall force reduction and reorganization. Initial CH-8 Hf - ONI-2660S-007-93-VOL II military force reductions were accomplished at the expense of the Army and Air Force. The number of Navy personnel has actually increased slightly (to 250,000) since 1987. This reflects the priority placed on the Navy as a result of the doctrinal shift. The new threat paradigm of local war and its offshore defense strategy requires that the Navy be rejuve- nated, particularly the fleet most likely to take an active role: the South Sea Fleet (SSF). Although priority now seems to favor the SSF, all three fleets will be modernized. This calls for the formation of combat groups composed primarily of large- and medium-size guided-missile ships with three- dimensional warfighting capabilities to replace the obsolescent, smaller, less capable assets in the cur- rent inventory. Although reductions in personnel are expected through the next decade, the Navy will probably reduce at a much lower rate than the other services. Large numbers of smaller, older combatants will be retired, however, and will gradually be replaced by fewer but more capable platforms. (SH The Navy is evolving from a coastal defense force to one that will increasingly be able to challenge adversaries in the contiguous East and South China Seas, where it has long operated. In the past, priority for resource allocations went to the North Sea Fleet (NSF) and the East Sea Fleet (ESF). The NSF region includes most of the R&D centers and its mission: was and continues to be protecting the industrial northeast as well as Beijing from the Soviet Union (now Russia). The ESF is potentially responsible for effecting the reunification with Tai- wan (a national goal since 1949) if force becomes necessary. Changes in Chinese threat perceptions and increased interest in the South China Sea caused China to shift its priorities in that direction between 1985 and 1990. Each fleet can draw upon the resources of the others to accomplish its wartime missions. 3. TRAINING/MANPOWER (U) USP Recruits are obtained primarily through conscription, but personnel also are encouraged to volunteer. While the relative percentage and sheer numbers of draft-age youth will be in decline after 2000, the available pool of qualified high school graduates will continue to far exceed requirements. Despite temporary economic penalties causing mili- sock ae The Chinese Navy is organized into three fleets: the North Sea Fleet, the East Sea Fleet, and the South Sea Fleet. The fleet commander is responsible for operations, training, and readiness of the fleet. The fleet commander also serves as commander of the naval base that supports the fleet. The Chinese Navy has approximately 250,000 active duty personnel. The Chinese Navy also has a Marine Corps, which is organized into two brigades. The Marine Corps is responsible for amphibious operations and is trained to conduct air, sea, and land operations. The Marine Corps is under the direct command of the Navy headquarters and is not part of the ground forces command structure. b. Personnel (U) The Chinese Navy is primarily a conscript force, with only a small percentage of career personnel. Conscripts serve for three years, while career person- nel serve for 20 years. The Chinese Navy also has a reserve force, which is comprised of former active duty personnel and trained reservists. The Chinese Navy has a high turnover rate due to the large number of conscripts and the short service terms. This has resulted in a lack of experienced personnel, particularly in the non-commissioned officer ranks. The Chinese Navy has attempted to address this issue by increasing the emphasis on professional development and training. c. Training and Education (U) The Chinese Navy places a strong emphasis on training and education, recognizing the importance of a highly trained and skilled force. The Navy has established a comprehensive training program for officers and enlisted personnel, which includes both individual and unit training. The Chinese Navy also has a system of naval academies and training institutes located throughout the country. These institutions provide basic and advanced training for officers and enlisted personnel in various specialties, including surface, submarine, and aviation categories. The Navy also utilizes simulators to supplement training, although their sophistication is limited compared to Western systems. d. Morale (U) Morale in the Chinese Navy is traditionally high, with a strong sense of pride and loyalty to the military and the country. However, recent disparity in compensation between military personnel and their civilian counterparts has raised concerns about retention and could potentially impact morale in the future. Efforts are being made to improve conditions for military personnel in order to maintain high morale. e. Challenges (U) The Chinese Navy faces several challenges in maintaining a modern and effective force. These include addressing the high turnover rate and lack of experienced personnel, as well as improving compensation and benefits to retain skilled personnel. The Navy is also focused on developing its capabilities for combined-arms and joint-service operations, particularly in a local war scenario. The Navy continues to modernize its training and equipment, but faces limitations due to budget constraints and technological gaps with Western navies. The basic structure of naval headquarters closely parallels that of the senior general headquarters departments. Accordingly, in a peacetime environment, the naval staff department directs all naval functions associated with command and control (plans and operations, training, intelligence, and communications). Subordinate elements within the naval staff department serve specific operational and administrative roles in the national-level command and control organization. As noted earlier, the Navy's operating forces consist of three commands: the North, East, and South Sea Fleets. The fleets are further broken down into naval districts and sectors, with units organized into ""type"" forces (shore establishments, surface combatants, rear services, naval aviation, etc.) for administrative and operational control. Ships are organized by types into echelons of various sizes (flotillas, squadrons, and divisions) and operate independently or as part of task-organized operational elements. The Navy is divided into national- and fleet-level commands. The national naval headquarters, located in Beijing, functions under the direction of the Central Military Commission through the General Staff Department. This headquarters is the senior naval authority, and its commander is responsible for the operation, administration, and training of naval forces. These duties are carried out with the assistance of a political commissar, three deputy commanders, a chief of naval staff, and the directors of the various departments that constitute the naval headquarters. The national-level naval headquarters exercises direct control over the three fleet headquarters and selected shore activities. Since 1987, the fleets have adopted a triple-echelon command structure designed to support deep-water operations, naval air operations, and coastal defense activities. Fleet headquarters exercise administrative and operational control over both the shore establishment and forces afloat. Major surface combatant and submarine flotillas are directly subordinate to fleet headquarters for deep water operations. The fleet's coastal defense structure is controlled by the fleet headquarters through its subordinate district, sector, and missile/torpedo attack boat flotilla headquarters. Finally, naval air operates under the control of fleet headquarters through its subordinate naval air headquarters. The North Sea Fleet (NSF) is responsible for defending the area from the Shandong/Jiangsu provincial border north to the North Korean border. Fleet headquarters is located at Qingdao. The NSF shore establishment includes naval bases, support facilities, and communications observation posts. The afloat force consists of four submarine flotillas, one destroyer flotilla, and three missile/torpedo attack boat flotillas. In the past, the NSF was given top priority because of the Soviet/Russian threat from the north and because the NSF houses many of the Navy's R&D facilities. (During the formative years of the Navy, northeast China had the industrial infrastructure needed to support them.) Defense of the northeast will continue to be of prime importance because this region encompasses Beijing, the military headquarters, and the industrial heartland. The East Sea Fleet (ESF) is responsible for defending the area from the Shandong/Jiangsu provincial border southward to the Fujian/Guangdong provincial border. Its headquarters is in Ningbo. The ESF shore establishment includes naval bases, support facilities, and communications/observation posts (COPs). The afloat force consists of two submarine flotillas, one destroyer flotilla, one landing ship flotilla, and two missile/torpedo attack boat flotillas, as well as a number of independent and auxiliary units. Due to its geographic location, this fleet would have a crucial role in a military option designed to reunify Taiwan with mainland China. the aging YUHAI and YULING LSTs and LSMs. The new YUHAI Class LSTs are estimated to be capable of carrying a reinforced battalion of troops, and the YUHAI Class LSMs are estimated to be capable of carrying a company-sized unit. The YUDENG Class LSMs have a range of 2,000 nautical miles, and the YUTING Class LSTs have a range of 3,000 nautical miles. Stabilize Taiwan with the mainland. Forcible reunification may be fading as an option, as booming trade and investment from Taiwan draw the island closer to the mainland. Recent reports suggest efforts are being made to reach a peaceful accord, provided the idea of ""One China"" is upheld by both sides. The South Sea Fleet (SSF) is responsible for defending the sector from the Fujian/Guangdong provincial border southward to the Vietnamese border. SSF headquarters, located at Zhanjiang, exercises operational and administrative control over one submarine, one destroyer, and two missile/torpedo attack boat flotillas, as well as naval bases, support facilities and COPs. The SSF has expanded significantly since its early days. China captured the Paracel Islands from Vietnam in 1974 and occupied a number of islands in the Spratly Archipelago in 1988. Both island groups were placed under the control of Zhanjiang. Since the late 1980s, changes in Chinese threat perceptions, coupled with increased interest in the South China Sea, have caused China to begin to shift its priorities to the SSF. The Chinese Navy is responsible for safeguarding China's national unity, territorial integrity, and ocean rights: defending against a localized war against China on the open seas; and deterring and guarding against all possible seaborne foreign invasions. Implicit in these assigned roles are Chinese concerns for the reunification of Taiwan, protection of the Paracels, and the eventual ""recovery"" of most (if not all) of the Spratlys. To accomplish these roles, the Navy conducts constant surveillance against air and surface penetrations into Chinese waters, reacts to any incursions, and intercepts and investigates unidentified or hostile elements. In addition, the Navy has been training and developing its force structure for the eventual recovery of the Spratlys. While China has a limited at-sea refueling capability, ships can now make port calls for bunkers at Woody and Duncan Islands in the Paracels, and Fiery Cross Island in the Spratlys. Politics aside, Chinese naval units have also been noted calling at the Taiwanese-held island of Itu Aba. b. Amphibious Warfare (U) (1) Amphibious Forces (U) China's amphibious lift capability is estimated at one regular infantry division (although there is only one Marine brigade). Since current Marine training does not include a scenario for integrated multi-battalion assaults, it appears unlikely that the Navy would seek to lift and land more than a reinforced battalion at any one location. Lift could be increased dramatically by employing merchant ships and civilian ferries to augment naval forces, especially for short- and medium-range lift within the region. The Navy's effective amphibious landing capability is also limited to the operational radius of China's land-based naval aircraft. China has given priority to developing aerial refueling in order to extend the combat radius of its land-based aircraft, and recent events indicate that this capability could soon be achieved. The Navy continues to pursue acquisition of a three-dimensional warfighting capability (air/surface/subsurface) to protect surface action groups from hostile forces, albeit with seemingly limited success to date. The present distribution of the Navy's amphibious assets, and the formation and subsequent deployment of a Marine force to the SSF, reflect Chinese interest in maintaining the Paracel and Spratlys Islands as territorial markers for establishing sovereign control over much of the South China Sea. The push for increased ship construction programs and the shift of priorities to the SSF are a result of this goal. Among its new construction programs are two new classes of amphibious ships: the YUDENG Class medium landing ship (LSM) and the YUTING Class tank landing ship (LST). These will replace the aging YUHAI and YULING LSTs and LSMs. The new YUHAI Class LSTs are estimated to be capable of carrying a reinforced battalion of troops, and the YUHAI Class LSMs are estimated to be capable of carrying a company-sized unit. The YUDENG Class LSMs have a range of 2,000 nautical miles, and the YUTING Class LSTs have a range of 3,000 nautical miles. World War II era units long used in logistics support roles. Initial units of both classes will be subordinated to the SSF. Subsequent production schedules As it is responsible for providing potential support to China's claims in the South China Sea, the force trains for both amphibious and counter-landing operations. In addition, Marine recruits receive training in airborne assault, reconnaissance methods, and martial arts. Although individual training skills are emphasized, Chinese Marines cannot be compared with their Russian or U.S. counterparts in performance or capability. Chinese military leaders acknowledge that the force is in its formative stages. Major areas of weakness are lift capacity, tactical air support beyond coastal waters, and naval support. The Marines are well-adapted to conducting such security operations as occupying and setting up barracks on previously uninhabited islands, atolls, and coral heads in the Spratly chain. Such operations are usually small and simple in nature. China recognizes the importance of amphibious operations and is striving to improve this capability. However, the lack of proper logistics support beyond coastal waters will hamper significant improvements in capabilities through 2013. (2) Limited-Objective Operations (U) (4) The Marines frequently practice deployment of troops in unopposed landings on small uninhabited islands in the Spratlys. The Chinese, however, did assault the Vietnamese-occupied Xisha Islands in the Paracels Islands in 1974, and took and maintained control of them. This occurred before the Marine Corps was established. (3) Conventional Combat Operations (U) Due to their small numbers and lack of air logistics support, the Marines would be hard-pressed to take and defend an area outside coastal waters, where there would be no support from air and surface vessels. (4) Antilanding Capability (U) With over 14,000 km of coastline, China depends mostly on early warning and a limited surface-to-surface missile (SSM) capability to defend its shores. If an amphibious landing were to take place on a Chinese shore, the task of answering this assault would be borne mainly by the Army and Garrison Defense Commands. The defense would be executed jointly by all services, supported by reserves if required. The following are tasks assigned to naval forces in antilanding operations: * Conduct reconnaissance and provide early warning; * Lay mines and, in coordination with engineers, construct barriers; * Conduct antiair operations in coordination with the Army and Air Force; * Inflict maximum damage on the enemy at his staging areas, during his sea crossings, and during his amphibious assault in cooperation with the Air Force; * Continue the pressure along the beachhead in coordination with the Army and Air Force; * Attack the supporting fire element of the enemy's warships, minesweepers, and at-sea escort and screening forces; * Attack the enemy's succeeding transport landing ships; * Disrupt the enemy's sea lines of communications; and * Pursue and destroy the retreating enemy force. The Chinese Navy is in the first phase of modernization. Its basic platforms and armaments represent 1950s designs and capabilities, and sensors are mostly of 1950s and 1960s vintage. Much of the inventory is either in ready repair or near reserve status, and the equipment of individual units may not be fully functional. Hardware improvements are unevenly fielded; new equipment tends not to be universally applied to either a ship class or type. (For example, depending on its pennant number, a JIANGHU FF may or may not have a particular capability.) This requires opposing forces to treat Chinese units as somewhat more capable than they are in many cases. Implicit in the writings about local war doctrine is the flexibility to project forces overseas. The naval modernization program is focused on developing this capability. security and economic construction. (4) The Army is organized into 24 group armies, 1 armored division, 1 mechanized division, 1 artillery division, 1 antiaircraft artillery division, 1 army air assault division, and 18 independent regiments (12 infantry, 3 artillery, 1 antiaircraft artillery, and 2 army aviation regiments). The Army has 3.5 million personnel, of which 1 million are conscripts. (4) The Army is undergoing a major reorganization and modernization program to produce a more mobile and flexible force. The program includes increasing the number of combined arms brigades, improving C3I capabilities, and upgrading equipment and weapons. The program is being implemented in phases, with completion expected by 2000. (4) The Army is equipped with a wide variety of small arms, mortars, artillery, tanks, antitank weapons, antiaircraft weapons, and surface-to-air missiles. The Army also has a limited number of attack helicopters. (4) The Army has a large number of artillery pieces and multiple rocket launchers, some of which are capable of firing chemical munitions. The Army is modernizing its artillery with the acquisition of 152- mm and 155-mm self-propelled howitzers. (4) The Army is equipped with a variety of armor, including T-55, T-59, and T-69 main battle tanks, and a large number of armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles.

The Army is developing the HQ-7 short-range surface-to-air missile system. (4) The Army is equipped with a variety of surface- to-surface missiles, including the CSS-6, CSS-7, and CSS-8. The Army is developing the CSS-X-10 medium-range ballistic missile. (4) The Army is developing a number of new weapons systems, including the Type 96 122-mm self-propelled howitzer, the Type 86 152-mm self- propelled howitzer, the Type 89 122-mm multiple rocket launcher, the Type 90 122-mm multiple rocket launcher, the Type 99 155-mm self-propelled howitzer, the Type 90 122-mm multiple rocket launcher, the Type 99 155-mm self-propelled howitzer, and the Type 98 main battle tank. The Chinese Army is responsible for defending China and supporting national command decisions on foreign policy. It also assists in internal security and economic construction. The Army is organized into 24 group armies, 1 armored division, 1 mechanized division, 1 artillery division, 1 antiaircraft artillery division, 1 army air assault division, and 18 independent regiments (12 infantry, 3 artillery, 1 antiaircraft artillery, and 2 army aviation regiments). The Army has 3.5 million personnel, of which 1 million are conscripts. The Army is undergoing a major reorganization and modernization program to produce a more mobile and flexible force. The program includes increasing the number of combined arms brigades, improving C3I capabilities, and upgrading equipment and weapons. The program is being implemented in phases, with completion expected by 2000. The Army is equipped with a wide variety of small arms, mortars, artillery, tanks, antitank weapons, antiaircraft weapons, and surface-to-air missiles.

These units are concentrated in the Central Military District, which is the most likely to be involved in a major conflict. The Army also has a significant number of reserves in the other Military Districts, but these are mainly used to augment the main force units in those districts and provide secu- rity for key cities and installations. security matters, a role that has been heavily debated throughout the years (the People's Armed Police (PAP) was created to take up much of that responsibility). One of the Army's missions is to help the PAP maintain internal stability, as was demonstrated during the 1989 Tiananmen crisis. Through a comprehensive modernization effort, the Army has become a combined-arms force designed to meet the demands of the new local war doctrine. Through improved firepower, mobility, and communica- tions, the Army hopes to develop the strength to conduct active defense operations as defined in the new doctrine. The Army is organized into main and local force units and is deployed in Military Districts, and therefore require less mobility. Military Districts comprise 31 garrison divisions, 10 garrison brigades, 51 border defense regiments, 1 tank division, 1 infantry division, 29 garrison regiments, 3 border defense divisions, and various combat support and combat service support units. China recently began redesignating its garrison units as Coastal Defense units, although this move is not expected to change their overall mission. The whole is supported by 1.2 million reservists organized into well over 40 division-size units. Beyond these numerically impressive forces, there are also the PAP and other large security forces with functions related to maintaining internal stability. The sophistication of Army equipment ranges from low to medium technology. Main forces are typically better equipped than local ones. Reserve forces maintain basic capabilities, although they are more ideally suited to the protracted guerrilla functions of peasant warfare than to formal warfare. China will continue to introduce significant numbers of new equipment, using a cautious approach aimed at ensuring that personnel can operate and maintain the new weapons and support systems. The Army has several programs to improve armor, artillery, helicopters, and air-mobile equipment. It is also committed to upgrading its air defense capabilities. A number of new systems are under development, including the HN-6 (a man-portable, medium-range, medium-altitude SAM), the KS-1 (a high- altitude system), and the HQ-9 (a system reportedly capable of intercepting both aircraft and short-range ballistic missiles). These missiles are designed to replace the Army's aging, inadequate SAM force. The Army plays an important political role domestically. It is the ultimate guarantor of the Party's political primacy and survival. This was most recently displayed during the Tiananmen Square massacre in June 1989. Political schisms, partially along regional lines, are likely to emerge in China, and these could spread to the Army. Due to a deep sense of discipline and loyalty to individual commanders among Chinese troops and limited communi- cations between Army units (because of linguistic differences and the poor quality and limited quantity of communications equipment), troops are likely to follow the order of their local commanders during such schisms. This could well contribute to fragmentation of the Army during a period of internal disorder. The 1984 Military Service Law created a formal reserve structure. Reserve organizations are commanded and manned by core cadres consisting of active duty officers as well as local government and party leaders. Lower- echelon officers and enlisted members of the organization are drawn from the two-category reserve personnel pool. Category one personnel are young (18 to 28 years old), well qualified, and receive basic and specialized military training from the active force. Category two personnel (29 to 60 years old) receive less training and would be used as fill-in reserve units in wartime. The Army has 40-plus reserve units to augment or round out existing group armies and other major units. These units are concentrated in the Central Military District, which is the most likely to be involved in a major conflict. The Army also has a significant number of reserves in the other Military Districts, but these are mainly used to augment the main force units in those districts and provide security for key cities and installations. active force units. Naval reserve units will be used to augment coastal defense units and help the logistical elements bring stocks to wartime level. The Air Force maintains no known flying units in the reserves; its reserve units would augment and man AAA sites and augment logistical elements of the active force. CH-16 DECEMBER 1993 SEeHET * ONI-2660S-007-93-VOL II f SECTION Il CURRENT AND PROJECTED MILITARY CAPABILITIES (U) A. UNDERSEA WARFARE (U) 1. OVERVIEW (U) (4) The Chinese Navy's overall posture is defensive, based on the new doctrine of local war and its associated offshore defense strategy. The strategy is outward looking and acknowledges that war will be fought on land, on sea, and in the air at or near China's 'strategic boundary.' This boundary is defined as the distance essential to provide an adequate reaction time to external threats. Implicit in the strategy is the option for preemptive offensive operations along or beyond China's geographic borders and territorial waters. While ASW operations are an integral part of that philosophy, obsolete weapons and limited-range surveillance and detection systems allow for little more than a rudimentary standard of ASW. (4 WE cra China's submarine inventory consists of 86 units, both nuclear and conventional: the XIA SSBN, GP five a Ns; one MOD ROMEO Class SSG, GOLF SSB, and 70 ROMEO Class SSs. China is attempting to purchase significant improved weapons and sonar suites in an effort to upgrade the Navy's ASW capabilities. (YEP Although China's Navy possesses the world's third largest surface ASW force, it is primarily based upon dated technology. Surface ASW assets consist of 17 destroyers, 33 frigates, and 106 OK. ASW-capable patrol craft. The LUDA VIVIII Class DD, JIANGHU Vil Class FF, and HAINAN Class PC are China's primary ASW ships. While numerically impressive, almost all platforms use 1950s technology and are virtually ineffective against modern submarines. However, two new JIANGWEI Class FFs, one LUDA III Class DD, and one LUHU Class DD may provide a significant technological upgrade to the surface ASW force. A second LUHU DD and two more JIANGWEI FFs were recently launched. By constructing these larger and more capable platforms, and seeking to upgrade existing units by integrating improved technology, China has shown a dedication to improving its surface ASW capability. China's airborne ASW assets are produced domestically and consist of three ASW-configured SA-321J SUPER FRELON (ZHI-8) helicopters, one to five ASW-configured SA-365N DAUPHIN II (ZHI-9) helicopters, six SH-5 HARB A seaplanes, and an unknown number of Y-8 CUB, BE-6 MADGE, and B-5 BEAGLE. While the overall force is small, it is configured to employ Western sensors and weapons, and has developed some skill in coordinating airborne prosecution of a cooperating submarine. To date, this skill has been developed using 'canned' training—exercises that are not challenging and probably would limit the Navy's overall success against a modern submarine. 2.

The BADGER is capable of launching YJ-81 (C-801) ASCMs, which are believed to have a range of 40 km at high altitude. The BADGER is also capable of carrying YJ-82 (C-802) ASCMs, which have a range of 120 km at high altitude. The BADGER, however, has not been observed carrying the YJ-82. The bomber force is based on the mainland and is supported by a network of airfields along the coast. China is in the process of developing a new generation of airborne ASCMs, such as the YJ-83 and YJ-8C, which will be deployed on the H-6H bomber. The YJ-83 will have a range of 150 km at high altitude, while the YJ-8C will have a range of 200 km at high altitude. a.

China is building a new class of missile attack boats, the HOUJIAN Class, which is expected to be armed with the C802 SSM. One unit was launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. China is also building a new class of torpedo attack boats, the HUCHUAN Class, which is expected to be armed with the YU-7 torpedo. One unit was launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. (4) China also has a large inventory of patrol boats. The most modern is the HAINAN Class, which is armed with twin 37-mm AA guns. There are also more than 100 HUANGFENG, and SHANGHAI II Class boats, which are armed with twin 37-mm AA guns and twin 14.5-mm MGs. The newest patrol boat is the HAIJING, which is equipped with a helicopter deck and hangar. China is also building a new class of patrol boats, the HAIBO, which is expected to be armed with the C802 SSM. Two units were launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. (4) China's fleet of amphibious ships consists of more than 70 vessels, including tank landing ships, tank landing craft, and air cushioned landing craft. The most modern amphibious ships are the YUHAI and YUBEI Classes, which are each equipped with a helicopter deck and hangar, and can carry up to 500 troops. There are also 12 older, smaller landing ships that can carry up to 200 troops and have a helicopter deck. China is building a new class of landing ships, the YUDENG Class, which will be equipped with a helicopter deck and hangar. Two units were launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. (4) China's fleet of support ships includes more than 100 vessels, including oilers, repair ships, and tenders. The most modern are the DONGHAI and TAIHAI Classes, which can provide support to surface combatants and submarines. China also has a fleet of more than 20 tankers, which can provide support to naval units. China is building a new class of support ships, the HUZHOU Class, which may be equipped with the C802 SSM. One unit was launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. (4) China's fleet of auxiliary ships includes more than 400 vessels, including salvage ships, tugs, and minelayers. The most modern are the HUANGSHI and HUANGPU Classes. China is building a new class of auxiliary ships, the HUANG- GANG Class, which will be equipped with the C802 SSM. One unit was launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. (4) China's fleet of mine warfare ships includes more than 50 vessels, including mine coun- termeasures (MCM) ships and mine layers. The most modern are the WANNING and WANNING II Classes, which are each equipped with mine sweeping gear and can carry up to 100 mines. China is building a new class of MCM ships, the YANG- JIANG Class, which will be equipped with the C802 SSM. One unit was launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. China's fleet of mine warfare ships includes more than 50 vessels, including mine countermeasures (MCM) ships and mine layers. The most modern are the WANNING and WANNING II Classes, which are each equipped with mine sweeping gear and can carry up to 100 mines. China is building a new class of MCM ships, the YANGJIANG Class, which will be equipped with the C802 SSM. One unit was launched in 1992, and a total of 12 are expected to be built. air defense forces. The (PTG) and missile patrol combatants (PGG). These constitute a formidable ASUW force, well suited for their mission of coastal ASUW. A notable addition to China's surface capability is a projected aircraft carrier that will probably be operational by 2007. The carrier will probably be built to carry fixed-wing aircraft. However, whether these will be vertical/short take-off and landing aircraft or conventional take-off and landing aircraft is unknown. Initially, the carrier will probably operate with multirole helicopters. 3. SUBMARINE THREAT (U) As China's submarine force consists of 5 nuclear attack and 78 diesel-electric attack submarines, however, these are based on 1950s and 1960s technology. Offensive and defensive missions of China's submarine force include coastal defense, mining, and ASUW against combatants and merchant shipping. The submarine force is the Navy's only effective means of challenging an enemy naval force at extended ranges from the Chinese coast. Chinese submarines routinely conduct ASUW operations involving nuclear and diesel attack submarines prosecuting destroyers, frigates, and landing ships. Additionally, ASUW operations have included small groups using a ""wolf pack"" approach to engage surface targets. Torpedo firings are rarely noted, and it is not known whether submarine ASUW exercises are scripted (although they appear to be). China's submarine ASUW threat could increase significantly by 2013 due to the possible procurement of Russian or Western naval technology in the fields of submarine quieting, and improved sensors and weapons, as well as through increased proficiency in the use of its newly acquired systems. 4. AMPHIBIOUS/COASTAL THREAT (U) a. Coastal Defense Forces (U) Responsibility for coastal defense lies with the Chinese Navy. As such, Coastal Defense Headquarters is subordinate to the Navy General Headquarters. Regional and local coastal defense forces are administered by the Coastal Defense Headquarters, but operational control is maintained by the three fleet area headquarters: North Sea, East Sea, and South Sea through their district and sector headquarters. Each fleet area has an extensive system of coastal defense-radar stations that play an important role in the surveillance of coastal waters. Additional radars are located in the immediate area of each naval base. There are 21-23 coastal defense sites employing the (HY-2) missile. b. Coastal Defense Missiles (U) The Navy has operational control of the ASCMs that serve as backup to China's seaborne forces. China also has fixed coastal defense artillery sites. Though little is known about these sites, they are believed to be manned by naval reserve forces. It is unlikely that China would attempt to increase the number of artillery sites or upgrade its coastal defense artillery system. More likely, coastal defense artillery will be phased out in favor of a mobile coastal defense missile system. This would be in line with both cost-cutting efforts and a desire to increase capabilities. While information about Chinese land mine warfare capability is scarce, China probably possesses a large inventory of various types of anti-personnel and anti-tank mines. There is currently no information about any types of minefields on or near beach areas, but China does have the capability to emplace such mines. Naval mine warfare is an important component of China's defensive military doctrine. The air defense forces. the C802 has a 100-km range and a warhead. The YJ-82 is being fitted on the new HAINAN and LUHU Class DDs and on JIANGHU Class FFGs. The C802 also will be fitted on the new 037II Class FACs. e. Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (U) (1) The SA-N-7 (GADFLY) is the primary air de- fense missile for the LUDA I and II and JIANGHU I and II Classes. The missile is a modified version of the Soviet SA-N-7, which is a naval version of the SA-6 GAINFUL. The GADFLY is a two-stage, solid- fuel missile with a range of 12 km and a speed of Mach 2.5. The missile is equipped with a 40-kg fragmentation warhead and can be launched in all weather conditions. The GADFLY is a beam-riding missile that is directed to its target by a continuous- wave radar beam. The GADFLY is carried in a twin- rail, trainable launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the LUDA and JIANGHU Classes. (2) The SA-N-7B (GADFLY MOD 2) is a modified version of the SA-N-7 that is carried on the LUDA III and JIANGHU III Classes. The GADFLY MOD 2 has a range of 15 km and, like the SA-N-7, is a beam-rid- ing missile that is directed to its target by a continu- ous-wave radar beam. The GADFLY MOD 2 is equipped with a 70-kg fragmentation warhead and has a speed of Mach 2.5. The GADFLY MOD 2 is carried in a trainable, twin-rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the LUDA III and JIANGHU III Classes. (3) The SA-N-12 (GRIZZLY) is the primary air de- fense missile on the LUDA IV Class. The GRIZZLY is a modified version of the Soviet SA-N-12. The GRIZZLY is a two-stage, solid-fuel missile with a range of 40 km and a speed of Mach 2.8. The mis- sile is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and can be launched in all weather conditions. The GRIZZLY is a semiactive radar homing missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GRIZZLY is carried in a trainable, twin- rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the LUDA IV Class. (4) The SA-N-12B (GRIZZLY MOD 2) is a modified version of the SA-N-12 that is carried on the LUDA V Class. The GRIZZLY MOD 2 has a range of 40 km and, like the SA-N-12, is a semiactive radar homing missile that is directed to its target by a continuous- wave radar beam. The GRIZZLY MOD 2 is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and has a speed of Mach 2.8. The GRIZZLY MOD 2 is carried in a trainable, twin-rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the LUDA V Class. (5) The SA-N-9 (GASKIN) is the primary air de- fense missile on the JIANGHU IV Class. The GASKIN is a modified version of the Soviet SA-N-9. The GASKIN is a two-stage, solid-fuel missile with a range of 12 km and a speed of Mach 2.8. The mis- sile is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and can be launched in all weather conditions. The GASKIN is a beam-riding missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GASKIN is carried in a trainable, twin-rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the JIANGHU IV Class. (6) The SA-N-9B (GASKIN MOD 2) is a modified version of the SA-N-9 that is carried on the JIANGHU V Class. The GASKIN MOD 2 has a range of 12 km and, like the SA-N-9, is a beam-riding missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GASKIN MOD 2 is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and has a speed of Mach 2.8. The GASKIN MOD 2 is carried in a trainable, twin- rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the JIANGHU V Class. (7) The SA-N-9C (GASKIN MOD 3) is a modified version of the SA-N-9 that is carried on the JIANGHU VI Class. The GASKIN MOD 3 has a range of 12 km and, like the SA-N-9, is a beam-riding missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GASKIN MOD 3 is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and has a speed of Mach 2.8. The GASKIN MOD 3 is carried in a trainable, twin- rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the JIANGHU VI Class. (8) The SA-N-6 (GRUMBLE) is the primary air de- fense missile on the LUDA I and II Classes. The GRUMBLE is a modified version of the Soviet SA-N-6. The GRUMBLE is a two-stage, solid-fuel missile with a range of 40 km and a speed of Mach 2.8. The mis- sile is equipped with a 60-kg fragmentation warhead and can be launched in all weather conditions. The GRUMBLE is a semiactive radar homing missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GRUMBLE is carried in a trainable, twin- rail launcher that is mounted on the bow deckhouse of the LUDA I and II Classes.

The GRUMBLE MOD 2 has a range of 40 km and, like the SA-N-6, is a semiactive radar homing missile that is directed to its target by a continuous-wave radar beam. The GRUMBLE MOD 2 is equipped tems. The Chinese have also begun to divest them- . . . . . selves of a number of older aircraft, such as the F-6, 2. AIRCRAFT WEAPONS (U) . F-7, and A-5, and to reduce the size of the force. a. Air-to-Air Missiles (U) b. (U) The Chinese Air Force has a mix of air-to-air missiles, including the PL-2, PL-5, PL-8, PL-9, and PL-11. The PL-2 and PL-5 are short-range IR missiles, while the PL-8 and PL-9 are medium-range IR missiles. The PL-11 is a BVR missile with semi-active radar homing. The PL-2 and PL-5 are considered obsolete and are being replaced by the PL-8 and PL-9. The PL-11, although a BVR missile, is limited by its semi-active radar homing and is not considered a true BVR capability. China is also developing a new BVR missile, the PL-12, which is expected to have an active radar homing system. It is unclear when the PL-12 will be operational. Items. Since the early 1960s rift with the Soviet Union, foreign acquisitions have usually been limited to small quantities for use in reverse engineering of systems. Current efforts are centering around outright acquisition of large numbers of critical systems and negotiations to produce modern equipment in China. Key areas the Chinese are concentrating on include airframe technology, avionics, propulsion, China's first indigenous fourth-generation fighter aircraft, armaments, and subsystems components. Perhaps as important, China is also finally seeking to acquire basic ""know-how"" in such areas as industrial quality control and testing. The latter should produce better results across the board, including reverse engineering efforts. The Chinese Air Force will probably continue to downsize its air interceptor force, from some 93 regiments in 1994 to 32 regiments by 2013. Older fighters such as the F-6 FARMER DIG will be phased out first, while slightly more capable all-weather fighters like the F-6 FARMER B/E will remain in the inventory longer. Production of the F-10 will be equivalent to a reduced-signature fourth-generation Western fighter and is projected to continue until around 2003, when F-10 production could be underway. Trial batch production of the new F-7E, which began in 1993, will result in operational deployment of the first F-7E by 1994 or 1995. The F-10 has been under development since the mid-1980s and is projected to enter production by 2003 at the latest. In an attempt to improve air interception capabilities, the Chinese may either purchase Russian MiG-31M FOXHOUND interceptors and eventually produce them under license or acquire more Su-27s with production licensing. If the Chinese decide to acquire the MiG-31M/Su-27, they will do so as a result of DESERT STORM. The Chinese Air Force bomber force is built around the B-6 BADGER and the B-5 BEAGLE. Both aircraft are based on obsolescent airframe designs and use very old avionics. Bomber forces are projected to bear a greater burden than fighter forces in future reductions. By 2013, the Chinese bomber force is projected to be one-third of its current size, from 17 regiments to around 6. Negotiations between Russia and China concerning Tu-22M BACKFIRE sales have reportedly been delayed until 1998 or beyond. The BACKFIRE would give China an improved bombing capability. If the BACKFIRE is procured, it will be in small numbers due to the cost. Newer generations of Chinese fighters and bombers have an airborne refueling capability, but require airborne tanker assets, which are projected to be in production no later than 1998. The Chinese Naval Air Force's mission is to provide air defense of ports and naval installations as well as air protection for fleet units. Other tasks that fall within its purview include ASUW, maritime reconnaissance, aerial minelaying, ASW operations, ground attack, and limited logistics support. The Naval Air Force would augment the Air Force during hostilities (and vice versa). The Naval Air Force operates a mixture of B-6 BADGER and B-5 BEAGLE bombers; A-5 FANTAN, F-6 FARMER, F-7 FISHBED, F-8-I FINBACK A, and F-8-H FINBACK B fighters and fighter-bombers; SUPER FRELON and DAUPHIN helicopters; and small transports. Remarks concerning the age and capabilities of Air Force aircraft apply to similar naval aircraft. The newest aircraft in the Chinese Navy inventory include the F-8-II and F-8-I and a limited number of carrier-based ASCM-armed B-6D BADGERs. The Chinese Navy will probably upgrade F-6, F-7, A-5, and B-5 aircraft with the new F-7E, possibly the SUPER 7, and the projected F-8-II and F-10. the 1950s, China acquired a significant number of Soviet 130-mm B13 guns, which were installed on various Chinese-built warships. The Chinese also developed a 130-mm gun, the Type 59, which was a copy of the Soviet B13. The Type 59 was used on destroyers and frigates, and later on the LUHU and LUYANG Classes. This gun is still in production, and its latest variant is the Type 79, which is used on the JIANGWEI II Class. In the 1980s, China began developing its own 130-mm gun, the Type 76. This gun is similar in design to the Soviet AK-130, but with some modifications. It is used on the JIANGHU III and JIANGWEI I Classes. The Type 76 has also been exported to other countries, such as Pakistan. China has also developed a 100-mm gun, the Type 79, which is used on the LUZHOU and LUYANG II Classes. This gun is a copy of the Soviet AK-100, with some minor modifications. In addition to these larger guns, China also produces smaller caliber guns for air defense, such as the 37-mm Type 76 and 25-mm Type 76. These guns are used on various ships, including the LUZHOU and JIANGHU Classes. China's AAA capabilities are also limited. Most ships are equipped with 14.5-mm or 23-mm guns for close range air defense, but these are not very effective against modern aircraft. China has also developed a 30-mm gun, the Type 76, which is used on the JIANGHU III and JIANGWEI I Classes. However, these guns are not widely deployed and are not considered very effective. In summary, China's naval guns and AAA systems are limited in capability and effectiveness. While China has made some progress in developing its own guns, many of these are still copies of Soviet designs and are outdated. China's lack of modern fire control systems also hinders the effectiveness of these weapons. In summary, China's naval guns and AAA systems are limited in capability and effectiveness. While China has made some progress in developing its own guns, many of these are still copies of Soviet designs and are outdated. China's lack of modern fire control systems also hinders the effectiveness of these weapons. In the 1980s, the Chinese continued to produce and deploy outdated gun systems, and a requirement for Western assistance to improve their naval gun designs was obvious. For example, Chinese ships were still being fitted with completely manual twin 37-mm mounts copied from a Russian system designed in the 1940s. To gain assistance, Chinese delegations visited various Western gun manufacturers. Recent developments indicate that the Chinese have been able to adapt some Western technology to their newest systems. CH-37 SECRETARY QUAY DECEMBER 1993 In recent years, the following general conclusions are still valid: + China is actively engaged in a fairly extensive R&D program in naval gun/gun mount design. * China has difficulty with both large- and small-caliber gun designs but has made some progress. * China is not on a technological par with either the West or Russia in the area of naval guns. * China is actively seeking outside assistance to improve its naval gun technology. Despite making progress, China will not achieve technological parity with the West within the next 10 to 15 years. Because the Chinese do not have the advantage of a broad naval gun technology base, they will continue to seek outside assistance. Assuming Chinese negotiations with other countries continue and a technology exchange program is established, there will be a more rapid improvement in Chinese naval guns. The Chinese will continue their efforts to develop automated naval gun systems. A possible candidate is a follow-on to their 57-mm series. The 57-mm Type 66, the basic model, was followed by the more automated Type 76 system. The Type 76 is already capable of being directed by radar but requires an enlarged automatic feed system and enclosure for improved capability. The Chinese have both mounts on their patrol craft and destroyers. A new twin 57-mm that could be available in the next 5 years will be a fully automatic enclosed mount. This will allow for an all-weather capability and an improved response time against air threats. A 30-mm replacement for the Type 69 (AK-230) is also possible in the next 5-10 years. As an alternative to producing a 30-mm Gatling gun, the Chinese may move to a Western 35-mm system. Oerlikon-Contraves of Switzerland has licensed the China North Industries Corporation (Norinco) to produce the GDF-003 land-based twin 35-mm AA gun and associated ammunition. China's efforts to incorporate Western technologies in any future large caliber gun systems will continue. The newest twin 100-mm is a probable step in that direction, and further efforts on that mount and any follow-ons are expected. In the next 15-20 years, the Chinese will likely deploy a new 100-mm or larger gun system. DECEMBER 1993 Threat to U.S. Naval and Marine Forces (1993-2013) (U) (U) Chinese ballistic missiles equipped with inertial guidance systems are not a threat to blue-water maritime operations and probably will not be in the near future. The Chinese ballistic missile threat to ships at sea will remain low until terminal homing sensors are developed and deployed. China will likely continue to rely on its aerodynamic missiles to attack ships at sea or close to shore. Within the theater, ballistic missiles (primarily short- and medium-range) with nuclear, chemical, conventional unitary, or submunition warheads can threaten airfields, operating bases, ships in port, aircraft on the ground, troops ashore, and military formations. The threat to mobile maritime targets, littoral maritime assets, and troops ashore will increase in the future as SRBM/MRBM inertial guidance accuracies increase, terminal homing sensors are developed and deployed, and targeting, reconnaissance and C3 systems are enhanced. MERCHANT FLEET (U) Fleet Status (U) The Chinese merchant fleet can provide support and troop lift capability in time of emergency. The fleet ranks third in the world in number of ships. and eighth in deadweight tonnage (DWT). (4) In terms of ship age, the Chinese fleet is one of the oldest among the world's major merchant fleets. To renew the fleet, China has vigorously exploited the secondhand market. Acquisition of second-hand tonnage is expected to continue, taking full advantage of opportunities such as the current depressed market in used bulk carriers. Bulk carriers have little or military utility, however. (4) A total of 871 known seagoing Chinese cargo ships have a combined lift capacity of about 8,000,000 metric tons. They have a considerable potential for trooplift and logistics support for short-haul and near-sea operations. The 176 tankers could transport about 21,000,000 barrels (U.S.) of petroleum and related products. Almost all are of a size (generally 50,000 DWT or less) suitable for emergency transport duties. It is estimated that more than 90 passenger-carrying ships have at least 30,000 passenger berths in normal trade and could easily carry more than 100,000 troops in emergency service. In addition, there are countless coastal and riverine ferries capable of making short hauls. Traditional junks could further augment this capacity, if needed. The majority of Chinese merchant ships have operate operating speeds of 11-17.9 knots; 130 ships have unusually low operating speeds of under 11 knots, but 179 (147 cargo and 32 passenger) have operating speeds of 18 knots or more. China has 133 ships with both heavy-lift booms (40 tons or greater) and a long hatch (15 m or greater), 420 ships with only a long hatch, 248 ships with only a heavy-lift feature, and 43 ships with a single boom capacity in excess of 100 tons. All of these special features greatly enhance the fleet's military support potential. The growing fleet of offshore fishing, research, salvage, and resource exploitation ships are also readily adaptable to military or paramilitary roles. (4) China's DE YUE and its sister DE DA are two of the largest tugs in the world, with bollard pull of 205 tons each. They are the top ships in a fleet of more than 30 major salvage vessels that China has positioned in the ports of Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Yentai. They would provide a valuable military auxiliary force with little or no modification. (4) The Space Event Support Ship YUAN WANG and its QI are the largest of a fleet of oceangoing research vessels under the Chinese Academy of Science and the State Bureau of Oceanography, which is believed to number more than 60 ships. Some are equipped with towed petroleum exploration seismic arrays, and all could provide communications support (although not secure communications) for command and control of other units. (4) The oceangoing fleet is augmented by a significant number of ships under 1,000 gross tons (GRT) in coastal trade or ships that are in normal service on the extensive Chinese river system. There are an estimated 300,000-400,000 junks in China, with a combined freight capacity of 3-4 million tons. Many are motorized and of sufficient size to perform duties as military auxiliaries, or to carry troops or materiel. DECEMBER 1993 (4) China also owns 216 ships of 8,000,000 total under foreign registry, scattered mainly among the Hong Kong, Panamanian, and Liberian flags; however, more than half of these ships are militarily useless bulk carriers. Dry cargo ships are the second largest group among these, and full container ships are the third largest. 2. CONTROL (U) (4) Chinese merchant shipping is controlled by the Ministry of Communications. Daily administrative and operational control is exercised through regional and local shipping companies and their subsidiaries or agents abroad. The largest shipping enterprise is the China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO), whose overall tonnage accounts for roughly 75% of the total Chinese merchant fleet. COSCO management is decentralized. b. Long-Term Developments (U) (4) In the long term, China's maritime industry is expected to further expand and modernize, with an increasing focus on international trade and global maritime transportation. The Chinese government will continue to invest in port infrastructure and shipbuilding capabilities, while also promoting the development of domestic shipping companies and the training of skilled maritime personnel. China's growing economy and increasing global presence are likely to drive significant growth in its maritime industry, making it a major player in the global shipping market. That left China behind in the 1970s and 1980s. General cargo ships will decline in number as more containerships join the fleet. As industrial production increases, the numbers of Chinese-owned bulk carriers and oil and chemical tankers are likely to increase. The percentage of Chinese-owned ships required to meet China's foreign trade requirements will decline as its ports open to foreign-flag shipping. China will take over Hong Kong in 1997 and use Hong Kong's shipping finance niche to raise the necessary capital to finance the continued development of its ports, and to build and modernize the merchant fleet. b. Ten-Year Developments (U) (The China's 5-year (1993-1998) trends and developments will continue. As offshore oil and gas deposits are likely to become fully commercially exploitable, orders for liquefied natural gas/liquefied petroleum gas (LNG/LPG) tankers and petroleum and other lubricant (POL) tankers could skyrocket, with the bulk of the tankers likely to be built domestically. China's shipbuilding technology will enter into high-technology areas (such as LNG/LPG carriers) and high-manpower projects (such as passenger ships). Most of the ships will come from Chinese rather than foreign yards. The ports developed in southern China are expected to reduce Hong Kong's growth in the share of cargo volume or numbers of containers handled. c. Twenty-Year Developments (U) (49 China may be a world leader in maritime transportation. Its merchant fleet and maritime industries are expected to rival those of Japan. It is quite possible that the Chinese merchant fleet will be the largest national fleet in the world. Direct trade links with Taiwan will likely have been established. All of China's trade is expected to be two-way, rendering the need for Hong Kong and Taiwan to act as conduits for trade between China and the outside world obsolete." "Philippines.

My two months old baby was normal, healthy, happy, smiling. One fine day morning, I walked over to get him and noticed abnormal breathing inhaling but not exhaling. His body was solid gray and unresponsive.I immediately called emergency service. He was transported to an emergency room. He is in a coma, on life support, the red blood cell count is dropping, fluid on his brain, having seizures, and his blood pressure was at 320 when he was transported. They have run every test for primary infections plus more, and all comes back negative. The pediatric unit has never seen anything like this. They have contacted other specialist, and there has been no diagnosis. If anyone might have any clue of what it could be, please help me. We want him to come home and return to our happy lives. Hello. With the information you have given, I would try to analyze his condition. First, turning gray or blue means the oxygen levels in his body are low. Reasons could be many. From what you mentioned. He seems to be bleeding in the brain, that is why his red blood cells are coming down. Bleed in the brain also causes seizures and high blood pressure. Or sometimes high blood pressure itself can cause seizures, but the number 320 is very odd, I do not know if it is that much. This condition could be due to 1) infection, 2) Abnormal bleeding disorders, where the body cannot stop the bleeding process, due to deficiency of some factors responsible for it. It needs special tests. Ex; late hemorrhagic disease, deficiency of factors 8, 9, etc. 3) High BP could be because of the bleed itself, or high BP could have caused the bleeding, then reasons for high BP should be looked for.this needs special tests and scans, hormonal tests also. 4) Bleeding can be controlled by given FFP, cryoprecipitate in specific conditions. I know I can only provide you information, because the condition is serious, requiring a lot of tests, and treatment is not so simple. He needs treatment to control the bleeding, control BP, seizures. It involves a few specialties and can be life-threatening also.",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"Hello doctor,I know this may be too extreme for this site, but I am seeking all the advice I can get. My two months old baby was normal, healthy, happy, smiling. One fine day morning, I walked over to get him and noticed abnormal breathing inhaling but not exhaling. His body was solid gray and unresponsive.I immediately called emergency service. He was transported to an emergency room. He is in a coma, on life support, the red blood cell count is dropping, fluid on his brain, having seizures, and his blood pressure was at 320 when he was transported. They have run every test for primary infections plus more, and all comes back negative. The pediatric unit has never seen anything like this. They have contacted other specialist, and there has been no diagnosis. If anyone might have any clue of what it could be, please help me. We want him to come home and return to our happy lives. Hello. With the information you have given, I would try to analyze his condition. First, turning gray or blue means the oxygen levels in his body are low. Reasons could be many. From what you mentioned. He seems to be bleeding in the brain, that is why his red blood cells are coming down. Bleed in the brain also causes seizures and high blood pressure. Or sometimes high blood pressure itself can cause seizures, but the number 320 is very odd, I do not know if it is that much. This condition could be due to 1) infection, 2) Abnormal bleeding disorders, where the body cannot stop the bleeding process, due to deficiency of some factors responsible for it. It needs special tests. Ex; late hemorrhagic disease, deficiency of factors 8, 9, etc. 3) High BP could be because of the bleed itself, or high BP could have caused the bleeding, then reasons for high BP should be looked for.this needs special tests and scans, hormonal tests also. 4) Bleeding can be controlled by given FFP, cryoprecipitate in specific conditions. I know I can only provide you information, because the condition is serious, requiring a lot of tests, and treatment is not so simple. He needs treatment to control the bleeding, control BP, seizures. It involves a few specialties and can be life-threatening also."

"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.

The Secretary: First, despite what some Frenchmen are putting out, we are opposed to Mitterand. The US does not want Mitterand to win. 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.

"The Chinese government has also recognized the need to improve the management of state enterprises. In addition to general economic reforms, the government has been experimenting with various ways to improve the management of state enterprises. One approach has been to introduce more market-oriented incentives into the enterprise system. Another has been to strengthen the role of enterprise managers and to increase their autonomy. In addition, the government has been encouraging state enterprises to enter into joint ventures with foreign companies, particularly in the coastal areas. These joint ventures are expected to help Chinese managers acquire managerial skills and technological know-how. The Chinese leadership also has recognized that it must improve its ability to absorb and effectively utilize foreign technology. In this regard, the government has taken steps to improve the quality of scientific and technical education and training. In addition, the government has made an effort to increase contacts with foreign experts and to send more Chinese scientists and engineers abroad for advanced training.

BUREAU OF INTELLIGENCE AND RESEARCH CURRENT ANALYSES RELEASED UNCLASSIFIED SECRET 9400324 NOT RELEASABLE TO FOREIGN NATIONALS NOT RELEASABLE TO CONTRACTORS/CONSULTANTS DISSEMINATION AND EXTRACTION OF INFORMATION CONTROLLED &¥ ORIGINATOR ¢ good 7 (U) CHINA'S OPEN DOOR POLICY: NEW PRESSURES AND OPPORTUNITIES (S/NF) Summary Despite continuing sensitivities within China over cultural contamination from the West, Deng Xiaoping and his reform-minded colleagues seem to be accelerating efforts to obtain foreign help for their ambitious modernization plans. When China first opened its doors to the West in the late 1970s, it was unsure of what to purchase and soon discovered that its economic health was still too precarious to sustain a major import program. Beijing's renewed interest in foreign imports and investment, particularly in recent months, is in part a reflection of China's overall economic recovery. Recent years' experience, including the prob- lems of industrial inefficiency and price reform, also may have given Chinese leaders a keener appreciation of the difficulty in overcoming the country's industrial backwardness without substantial help from the outside. Deng probably believes that the most difficult economic problems for China are technological and managerial and that the need to make progress in these areas justifies a step-up in purchases of advanced technology and related expertise. keaeaek nt (Cc) Progress and Problems Restraints on imports imposed in early 1981 were loosened in the final quarter of 1983, and China's imports rose 28 percent over the previous quarter. Imports for the year increased more than 10 percent after falling nearly 7 percent in 1982. Preliminary 1983 data indicate that industrial materials and capital goods accounted for the bulk of the increase in imports. China, last year, also increased its purchases of licenses and know-how. Chinese customs statistics suggest that this liberalized import policy is continuing. Imports during January-April were up nearly 20 percent compared with the same period last year. China is financially well positioned to afford the surge in purchases. Foreign exchange reserves amount to about $16 billion. While it has increased its direct purchase of foreign technology and capital goods, Beijing has attempted to accelerate foreign investments in China. China also is making greater efforts to enlist the help of overseas Chinese scientists and technical experts. Since mid-1983, China has initiated a number of measures to attract foreign interest including: --~a decision to allow technology firms to establish 100~percent- owned subsidiaries in China; --~a wider opening of its domestic market to goods produced by joint ventures; --longer tax holidays for overseas investors; -~liberalized customs regulations for investors; --new laws that will facilitate doing business in China; and ~-permission to additional coastal cities to adapt concessionary policies to attract foreign investment. Deng and his chosen successors committed themselves at the 1982 12th Party Congress to the goal of quadrupling China's industrial and agricultural output by the year 2000. This target has its exhortative role, but many Chinese planners and political leaders appear to have committed themselves to achieving such rapid growth. Their dedication, however, probably is tempered by recognition of formidable structural and institutional obstacles. The increase in inflationary pressure resulting from initial steps to decentralize control over industry probably has added to Beijing's caution. Over the past two years, a too-rapid increase in heavy industry output strained energy supplies and transport services. The Chinese government has also recognized the need to improve the management of state enterprises. In addition to general economic reforms, the government has been experimenting with various ways to improve the management of state enterprises. One approach has been to introduce more market-oriented incentives into the enterprise system. Another has been to strengthen the role of enterprise managers and to increase their autonomy. In addition, the government has been encouraging state enterprises to enter into joint ventures with foreign companies, particularly in the coastal areas. These joint ventures are expected to help Chinese managers acquire managerial skills and technological know-how. The Chinese leadership also has recognized that it must improve its ability to absorb and effectively utilize foreign technology. In this regard, the government has taken steps to improve the quality of scientific and technical education and training. In addition, the government has made an effort to increase contacts with foreign experts and to send more Chinese scientists and engineers abroad for advanced training. In general, the Chinese leadership appears to be determined to make more effective use of foreign technology and capital in order to achieve its modernization goals. However, the Chinese leadership is also aware that foreign technology and capital cannot solve all of China's economic problems. In the final analysis, the Chinese will have to rely primarily on their own efforts to modernize the economy. eager to implement the open door policy as rapidly as possible to overcome the economic problems outlined above. They are taking considerable risks, however, in doing so. The most serious risk is that the open door will bring in more than just the desired increases in technology and management. It also will expose the Chinese to new ideas and values that could stimulate popular demands for political liberalization. This is a risk that the Dengists are willing to take in the interest of economic develop- ment, but they will continue to be careful about the extent and pace of the open door policy to minimize this danger Light industry production, meanwhile, grew slowly and failed to satisfy rising consumer demand. Investment also accelerated much too fast. Reform permitted enterprises to increase retained earnings, and enterprises used these funds to support new construction. Excess demand for steel, cement, and other construction materials slowed progress and raised costs on high-priority infrastructure projects. Beijing earlier this year appeared to regain some of its control over the pace of investment by modifying rules governing project financing. Since late 1983, it also has managed to boost sharply production of consumer goods. Production costs, however, probably are continuing to rise, and gains in efficiency are not materializing. More far-reaching industrial reform is essential to eliminate uneconomic production and to increase productivity. Price reform, in particular, is critically needed to restore rationality in the price system. Beijing is reluctant to speed the pace of reform because of its concern over inflation and its desire to minimize disruption of production and employment. Price reform is unlikely before 1985. Tax reform is scheduled for late this year, but it is not a good substitute. The Risks (S/NF/NC/OC) These problems have been crucial factors leading to the acceleration of China's open door policy. Although the opening to the West almost certainly has been a net political plus for the Dengists, it seems to have its detractors at senior levels. These opposition elements do not favor going back to the reclusive policy characteristic of the 1960s and early 1970s but object to the extent the Dengists have opened the door to foreign cultural influences. For the most part, these elements are waging a rear-guard action, sniping from the sidelines and doing what little they can to circumscribe policy. (S/NF/NC/OC) Beijing's drive late last year against ""spiritual pollution"" is the most recent in a series of efforts since 1979 to inoculate China against the undesirable side effects of Western influence. Unlike their predecessors, however, some influential Chinese went well beyond the limited targets of the campaign and launched an indirect but clear attack on Deng's economic open door policy. According to the Chinese press, these oppositionists criticized the importation of foreign technology and economic theories as well as the use of foreign management and scientific methods. (S/NF/NC/OC) During the past few months, as the Dengists have regained the initiative and moved to circumscribe the anti-spiritual pollution drive, critics of the open door have been singled out for censure. Although it is difficult to determine the position of these oppositionists in the party hierarchy, the attention given to the problem in official documents suggests that the Dengists take them seriously. (S/NF/NC/OC) The Special Economic Zones seem to be a sensitive facet of the open door policy. Deng and Premier Zhao Ziyang continue to exhibit a keen personal interest in dealing with problems in the zones, making frequent inspection tours. Since they were opened in 1979, the four zones appear to have made only a symbolic contribution to China's overall economic development while they have continued to feed charges by orthodox leaders that they serve as a conduit for negative foreign influences. To strengthen justification for the zones, the Dengists reportedly have made a recent decision to stress their function as a channel for Western technology and management know-how rather than as a major contributor to investment. (C) The Deng camp appears eager to implement the open door policy as rapidly as possible to overcome the economic problems outlined above. They are taking considerable risks, however, in doing so. The most serious risk is that the open door will bring in more than just the desired increases in technology and management. It also will expose the Chinese to new ideas and values that could stimulate popular demands for political liberalization. This is a risk that the Dengists are willing to take in the interest of economic development, but they will continue to be careful about the extent and pace of the open door policy to minimize this danger. Willing to take the political risk involved in accelerating China's economic opening to the West because of the high stakes involved. Deng and his successors almost certainly recognize that the ability to develop a workable economic program that produces tangible results will be crucial to their political fortunes. Moreover, a good case can be made that Beijing's efforts to improve the political atmosphere with the US and Japan over the past year have been strongly influenced by the higher priority China has attached to the acquisition of foreign technology and expertise. In both instances, the Chinese have sought to downplay political problems and have gone to lengths to highlight the potential for expanded economic ties. Prepared by Charles M.

When China first opened its doors to the West in the late 1970s, it was unsure of what to purchase and soon discovered that its economic health was still too precarious to sustain a major import program. Beijing's renewed interest in foreign imports and investment, particularly in recent months, is in part a reflection of China's overall economic recovery. Recent years' experience, including the prob- lems of industrial inefficiency and price reform, also may have given Chinese leaders a keener appreciation of the difficulty in overcoming the country's industrial backwardness without substantial help from the outside. Deng probably believes that the most difficult economic problems for China are technological and managerial and that the need to make progress in these areas justifies a step-up in purchases of advanced technology and related expertise. keaeaek nt (Cc) Progress and Problems Restraints on imports imposed in early 1981 were loosened in the final quarter of 1983, and China's imports rose 28 percent over the previous quarter. Imports for the year increased more than 10 percent after falling nearly 7 percent in 1982. Preliminary 1983 data indicate that industrial materials and capital goods accounted for the bulk of the increase in imports. China, last year, also increased its purchases of licenses and know-how. Chinese customs statistics suggest that this liberalized import policy is continuing. Imports during January-April were up nearly 20 percent compared with the same period last year. China is financially well positioned to afford the surge in purchases. Foreign exchange reserves amount to about $16 billion. While it has increased its direct purchase of foreign technology and capital goods, Beijing has attempted to accelerate foreign investments in China. China also is making greater efforts to enlist the help of overseas Chinese scientists and technical experts. Since mid-1983, China has initiated a number of measures to attract foreign interest including: --~a decision to allow technology firms to establish 100~percent- owned subsidiaries in China; --~a wider opening of its domestic market to goods produced by joint ventures; --longer tax holidays for overseas investors; -~liberalized customs regulations for investors; --new laws that will facilitate doing business in China; and ~-permission to additional coastal cities to adapt concessionary policies to attract foreign investment. Deng and his chosen successors committed themselves at the 1982 12th Party Congress to the goal of quadrupling China's industrial and agricultural output by the year 2000. This target has its exhortative role, but many Chinese planners and political leaders appear to have committed themselves to achieving such rapid growth. Their dedication, however, probably is tempered by recognition of formidable structural and institutional obstacles. The increase in inflationary pressure resulting from initial steps to decentralize control over industry probably has added to Beijing's caution. Over the past two years, a too-rapid increase in heavy industry output strained energy supplies and transport services. The Chinese government has also recognized the need to improve the management of state enterprises. In addition to general economic reforms, the government has been experimenting with various ways to improve the management of state enterprises. One approach has been to introduce more market-oriented incentives into the enterprise system. Another has been to strengthen the role of enterprise managers and to increase their autonomy. In addition, the government has been encouraging state enterprises to enter into joint ventures with foreign companies, particularly in the coastal areas. These joint ventures are expected to help Chinese managers acquire managerial skills and technological know-how. The Chinese leadership also has recognized that it must improve its ability to absorb and effectively utilize foreign technology. In this regard, the government has taken steps to improve the quality of scientific and technical education and training. In addition, the government has made an effort to increase contacts with foreign experts and to send more Chinese scientists and engineers abroad for advanced training. In general, the Chinese leadership appears to be determined to make more effective use of foreign technology and capital in order to achieve its modernization goals. However, the Chinese leadership is also aware that foreign technology and capital cannot solve all of China's economic problems. In the final analysis, the Chinese will have to rely primarily on their own efforts to modernize the economy. eager to implement the open door policy as rapidly as possible to overcome the economic problems outlined above. They are taking considerable risks, however, in doing so. The most serious risk is that the open door will bring in more than just the desired increases in technology and management. It also will expose the Chinese to new ideas and values that could stimulate popular demands for political liberalization. This is a risk that the Dengists are willing to take in the interest of economic develop- ment, but they will continue to be careful about the extent and pace of the open door policy to minimize this danger Light industry production, meanwhile, grew slowly and failed to satisfy rising consumer demand. Investment also accelerated much too fast. Reform permitted enterprises to increase retained earnings, and enterprises used these funds to support new construction. Excess demand for steel, cement, and other construction materials slowed progress and raised costs on high-priority infrastructure projects. Beijing earlier this year appeared to regain some of its control over the pace of investment by modifying rules governing project financing. Since late 1983, it also has managed to boost sharply production of consumer goods. Production costs, however, probably are continuing to rise, and gains in efficiency are not materializing. More far-reaching industrial reform is essential to eliminate uneconomic production and to increase productivity. Price reform, in particular, is critically needed to restore rationality in the price system. Beijing is reluctant to speed the pace of reform because of its concern over inflation and its desire to minimize disruption of production and employment. Price reform is unlikely before 1985. Tax reform is scheduled for late this year, but it is not a good substitute. The Risks (S/NF/NC/OC) These problems have been crucial factors leading to the acceleration of China's open door policy. Although the opening to the West almost certainly has been a net political plus for the Dengists, it seems to have its detractors at senior levels. These opposition elements do not favor going back to the reclusive policy characteristic of the 1960s and early 1970s but object to the extent the Dengists have opened the door to foreign cultural influences. For the most part, these elements are waging a rear-guard action, sniping from the sidelines and doing what little they can to circumscribe policy. (S/NF/NC/OC) Beijing's drive late last year against ""spiritual pollution"" is the most recent in a series of efforts since 1979 to inoculate China against the undesirable side effects of Western influence. Unlike their predecessors, however, some influential Chinese went well beyond the limited targets of the campaign and launched an indirect but clear attack on Deng's economic open door policy. According to the Chinese press, these oppositionists criticized the importation of foreign technology and economic theories as well as the use of foreign management and scientific methods. (S/NF/NC/OC) During the past few months, as the Dengists have regained the initiative and moved to circumscribe the anti-spiritual pollution drive, critics of the open door have been singled out for censure. Although it is difficult to determine the position of these oppositionists in the party hierarchy, the attention given to the problem in official documents suggests that the Dengists take them seriously. (S/NF/NC/OC) The Special Economic Zones seem to be a sensitive facet of the open door policy. Deng and Premier Zhao Ziyang continue to exhibit a keen personal interest in dealing with problems in the zones, making frequent inspection tours. Since they were opened in 1979, the four zones appear to have made only a symbolic contribution to China's overall economic development while they have continued to feed charges by orthodox leaders that they serve as a conduit for negative foreign influences. To strengthen justification for the zones, the Dengists reportedly have made a recent decision to stress their function as a channel for Western technology and management know-how rather than as a major contributor to investment. (C) The Deng camp appears eager to implement the open door policy as rapidly as possible to overcome the economic problems outlined above. They are taking considerable risks, however, in doing so. The most serious risk is that the open door will bring in more than just the desired increases in technology and management. It also will expose the Chinese to new ideas and values that could stimulate popular demands for political liberalization. This is a risk that the Dengists are willing to take in the interest of economic development, but they will continue to be careful about the extent and pace of the open door policy to minimize this danger. Willing to take the political risk involved in accelerating China's economic opening to the West because of the high stakes involved. Deng and his successors almost certainly recognize that the ability to develop a workable economic program that produces tangible results will be crucial to their political fortunes. Moreover, a good case can be made that Beijing's efforts to improve the political atmosphere with the US and Japan over the past year have been strongly influenced by the higher priority China has attached to the acquisition of foreign technology and expertise. In both instances, the Chinese have sought to downplay political problems and have gone to lengths to highlight the potential for expanded economic ties. Prepared by Charles M.

"“7 DECLASSIFIED MEMORANDUM OF CONVERSATION PARTICIPANTS: Huang Chen, PRC Ambassador to France Tsao Kuei Sheng, First Secretary of PRC Embassy Wei Tung, Secretary to the PRC Ambassador Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Major General Vernon Walters, Defense Attache, U.S. Embassy, Paris Winston Lord, NSC Staff PLACE: PRC Embassy, Paris DATE & TIME: Monday, August 16, 1971 9:05 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. - Ambassador Huang: You arrived last night? Dr. Kissinger: Yes. Ambassador Huang: You had a good rest? Dr. Kissinger: Yes. I have come to France secretly eleven times by five different methods. I am going to write a detective story when I am through. Ambassador Huang: You have very intelligent methods. I transmitted your message and I will now let Mr. Tsao read in English a response in order to save time. Mr. Tsao: (Reading): An oral message of August 16: “During the interim visit talks will still be held between Prime Minister Chou En-lai and Dr. Kissinger in Peking. The special plane will enter Shanghai and then fly to Peking after a Chinese navigator boards the plane. As to specific de- tails concerning the visits, we would like Dr. Kissinger first to give his views for consideration."" TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE/EXCLUSIVELY EYES ONLY Is that all right [the English]? Dr. Kissinger: That's very clear. That is a message? Mr. Tsao: An oral message. Ambassador Huang: There is a second point I would like to speak about, concerning the negotiations between Huang Hua and the New York Times' Mr. Szulc. Dr. Kissinger: We don't have complete diplomatic relations with the New York Times, so we are very grateful. (Ambassador Huang laughs.) Ambassador Huang: I would like to tell the Doctor about this conversation. In his off the record conversation with New York Times' correspondent Mr. Szulc, Ambassador Huang Hua did not give a direct reply when asked whether the Warsaw Talks would continue in the future, but only said that neither side has declared that the Warsaw Talks have ended. These words are in accord with the tacit understanding reached by the two sides at the talks in Peking. It is the understanding of the Chinese government that the Warsaw Talks now exist in name only and that neither side has an interest to reopen the Warsaw channel. However, bureaucratic documents may sometimes still be transmitted through it. Dr. Kissinger: That is exactly our understanding. That is correct. We were told by Mr. Szulc that your Ambassador had indicated perhaps that we should open the Warsaw Talks. But this clears it up completely. We are in complete agreement. Ambassador Huang: Would you like some tea? General Walters: It is the best tea in Paris. Ambassador Huang: You are quite accustomed to Chinese tea? Dr. Kissinger: I am not, but I like it very much. Mr. Ambassador I have actually a long list of items which I would like to discuss with you if I could. Ambassador Huang: Our cook is trying to make some Chinese specialties for our honored guests. Dr. Kissinger: I absolutely adore Chinese food. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE/EXCLUSIVELY EYES ONLY Dear Ambassador Huang, If next time you come in the afternoon, I'll give you more Chinese things to eat. Obviously the Chinese cooking here is not as good as in Peking. Dr. Kissinger: I am sure. Should I start? Ambassador Huang: Yes. Dr. Kissinger: I wanted, in line with my conversation with Prime Minister Chou En-lai, to inform you about some new developments in our relations with the Soviet Union. You can be sure that we will be meticulous about keeping you informed. The Prime Minister will remember that I spoke to him about negotiations going on at that time with the Soviet Union, concerning attempts to try to lessen the dangers of accidental nuclear war. It now seems probable that within the next two weeks we will complete/initial a draft text of an agreement on this question. The People's Republic of China is the first country we are informing of this. We will talk to other countries and our allies, including France, later this week. I would like to give you, Mr. Ambassador, for the government of the People's Republic of China the general provisions of this agreement. They are as follows: - Each side, that is to say the Soviet Union and the U.S., will improve its organizational and technical procedures to guard against the accidental or unauthorized use of nuclear arms under its control. - Second, each party will notify the other immediately in the event of an accidental or unauthorized incident regarding accidental detonation of nuclear weapons which could risk the outbreak of nuclear war. - The parties will notify each other immediately in the event of detecting unidentified objects if such occurrences could create the risk of nuclear war between the two countries. - Each party will notify the other in advance of any missile launches which will extend beyond its national territory in the direction of the other party. - In other situations involving unexplained nuclear incidents each party will act so as to lessen the chance of misinterpretation by the other party. These are the principal provisions, and I want to add a few additional items of information for the Prime Minister and for the Government. The Soviet Union is attempting to get us to agree to make the agreement applicable to other countries also. For example, they have asked to include a clause inviting other countries to participate in the agreement. Secondly, they have asked us to include a clause in which we and the Soviet Union have an obligation to report about events in other countries similar to events occurring between the two countries which must be reported in this agreement. In other words, we have to report about you and the French. We have refused both of these proposals. We cannot prevent the Soviet Union from making unilateral declarations to that effect, but we shall under no circumstances associate ourselves with it. We will make agreements with the Soviet Union only on subjects of direct concern to our two countries, i.e., the Soviet Union and ourselves. As I told your Prime Minister, we are prepared to sign a similar agreement, on a bilateral basis, with the People's Republic of China, but we shall not propose it publicly, and we shall leave the initiative to the Prime Minister. Ambassador Huang: Shall we eat a little? (There was then a short break for tea and Chinese specialties, during which there was some light banter about Chinese food and linguistic abilities.) Dr. Kissinger: I have a few other things to talk about. The reason I spoke so fast is because I have another meeting later about which you might hear later. (Ambassador Huang laughs.) I think the Ambassador is better informed. about my activities than anyone else, certainly better than our Ambassador. As I told the Prime Minister when I was in Peking, there is a possibility, a probability, that there will be an agreement between the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States about access procedures for Berlin. This is a highly technical negotiation which has no direct implications for the People's Republic of China, but if you want I will, through General Walters, let you know the general provisions. This leads to a final point -- I would be glad to answer any questions now if you wish on Berlin. Ambassador Huang: I have listened with great attention to what Dr. Kissinger has said and will transmit it to our Government. Dr. Kissinger: This leads me to another point which I've already discussed with Prime Minister Chou En-lai when I was in Peking. As you remember, Prime Minister Chou-En-lai said that the People's Republic of China would welcome a meeting between the Soviet and American leaders and asked my views on that subject. I told Prime Minister Chou that, prior to my coming to Peking, we had told the Soviet leaders that after we made some specific progress in negotiations we would be disposed to have a meeting with them. I said that we had told this to the Soviets before going to Peking, and I told Prime Minister Chou when I was there. I am certain that they will now propose a meeting to us. I want to inform you that we will not have a meeting with the Soviet leaders before we have a meeting with the Chinese leaders. I have already informed you about that. We may announce the meeting before going to Peking, but that meeting will not take place before a meeting with the Chinese leaders. If we announce the meeting, we will give you a week's advance warning before the public announcement. It is not yet certain, but it is very possible. Now let me make a general observation. Since my visit to Peking, it is the obvious Soviet strategy to give the impression that they can outmaneuver the People's Republic of China by seeming to come much closer to us because they can offer us much more. We understand this strategy. We made a fundamental decision before we visited Peking to put our relations with the People's Republic of China on a new basis. We are not affected by these maneuvers. I am prepared to discuss our relations with the Soviet Union fully and openly with the Prime Minister when I am in Peking, and in the meantime I will inform him through you. (Ambassador Huang nods.) Ambassador Huang: That means that during your next visit to Peking, you will discuss this with Prime Minister Chou and keep informing him through me in the meantime? Dr. Kissinger: Yes. That is we will make sure that you will confront no surprises. On any actions that we take that we believe affects your interest, we will want to know your views. I have a whole list of other technical points if the Ambassador has patience. Ambassador Huang: I will be happy to listen to you. Dr. Kissinger: This is in order to keep you informed on all matters we believe of interest to the People's Republic of China. That is why it takes so long. After my visit to Peking, the Japanese Government suggested either a visit by the President to Japan or a visit by the Emperor to the United States. (Ambassador Huang smiles.) We have avoided these invitations by proposing that the President greet the Emperor in Alaska when the Emperor is on his way to Europe, for one hour. So the President will meet the Emperor from 10:00 to 11:00 at night on September 26 at Anchorage, Alaska at the airport. (Mr. Tsao laughs.) The Emperor was stopping there gs that go against them for every one that helps them. They have no understanding of the American public. They do not understand that the American public is not inter- ested in the refugees, only in peace. I have told them they must do something dramatic to show they are interested in peace. I have suggested they release Mujibur Rahman. Ambassador Huang: He is in jail. Dr. Kissinger: That is why I said they must release him. They must do something dramatic. They must show that they are not just a collection of feudal lords. They must show they are interested in peace. They must show that they are not just interested in the status quo. We have made it clear to them that we will not support them in a war. We have told them that if they start a war we will not support them. We have told them that if they start a war they will lose. We have told them that if they start a war they will lose even if we are not on India's side. We have told them that if they start a war they will lose even if the Soviets are not on India's side. We have told them that if they start a war they will lose even if the Chinese are not on India's side. We have told them that if they start a war they will lose even if the Chinese are on their side. We have told them that if they start a war they will lose even if the Soviets are on their side. They must understand that we will not support them. We are not encouraging them to start a war. We are not encouraging them to create a situation that will lead to a war. We are telling them they must do something dramatic to show that they are interested in peace. Otherwise, we cannot help them. We cannot help them if they are not interested in peace. We are not saying that India is right. We are not saying that India is wrong. We are not saying that India is justified. We are not saying that India is not justified. We are saying that we are not interested in a war.

An emergency in which communications to Paris are difficult, and if in those circumstances, the Government of the Peoples Republic of China wants to be in touch with us rapidly or we with it in a crisis, my letter suggests how this can be done. We understand that this is only for emergencies and that this is the principal channel, the one here. As far as I am concerned you can use any of the telephone numbers there.

Dr. Kissinger: When I was in Peking, the Prime Minister asked me how much Lend Lease aid we gave in World War II. It is for his scholarly pursuits. (Ambassador Huang laughs.) The total amount is $48.4 billion. The program technically ended in March 1948. Twenty-five per cent of this went to the Soviet Union. That's all I have. Ambassador Huang: That includes military equipment? Dr. Kissinger: I will have to check. This was before inflation. I want to tell you one other thing. I am taking General Walters home for a week's vacation. He will return August 25. General Walters: I will be available after that for any information you want to transmit. Dr. Kissinger: Does that create any problems for you? Ambassador Huang: I will transmit all that Dr. Kissinger has said to Prime Minister Chou En-lai and if I have anything I will transmit it after August 25. General Walters: Thank you Mr. Ambassador. Dr. Kissinger: Is it possible in protocol to send my personal regards to the Prime Minister who impressed me very much? Ambassador Huang: I will transmit them.

The amount of US participation should be decided upon after a careful review of the Afghan Plan and the projected Soviet participation.

HiThanks for writing to health care magic.Yes nan gold can be givenIt is safeWishing your child good healthRegardsDr Arun "I am experiencing pain on the bottom of my left foot in the arch area. For the last month or so I have had a knot in my arch and now I am experiencing some pain. The knot is not as large as it was but I feel more pain. I wore some clog type shoes one day this weekend and I felt sharp pain on the top of my foot almost to the point of not being able to walk only momentarily. Hello,What I can conclude from the complaints you have mentioned is that you have symptoms of plantar fasciitis? It’s a common condition usually seen after use of improper footwear or excessive strain of the foot ( usually when You suddenly start exercising for ex. jogging and walking). I would suggest you to 1. Wear soft footwear with well-padded heels or MCR footwear. 2. Hot fomentation (dip both your feet in lukewarm water for 10 to 15 min twice) local pain relief gels. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"I am experiencing pain on the bottom of my left foot in the arch area.

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,Medical_PHI_2k,"about a week ago i felt like i had the flu it only lasted fro a day but now am left with this gurgeling crackling sound when i breath out (just out) hard along with a slight itchy throat & cough i m a smoker & 60 yrs old i ve had cancer2x breast & tonsil but did a pet scan 2 yrs ago & came back great so what could this be?

But when I go to a doctor, my BP becomes high. I checked for two times, and my BP was found to be high. I am not taking any medicines. My ECG is normal. How can I reduce my BP? Please suggest. Hi. 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,Medical_PHI_2k,"Hi doctor, My BP is normal.

"Subject: Goodwill Update The following is an update of the last two meetings of the FASB and decisions made regarding goodwill and intangible assets: The Board reiterated that they intend to release the statement in final form in June 2001 despite publicity to the contrary. The Board decided that goodwill should be tested for impairment annually rather than on an events-and-circumstances basis as previously proposed. Additionally, goodwill should be tested for impairment during interim periods if an event or circumstance occurs between annual tests that might reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its book value. It should also be tested for impairment on an interim basis when (1) a more-likely-than-not expectation exists that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit will be sold or disposed of, or (2) a significant asset group within a reporting unit is tested for recoverability under SFAS 121. The Board changed the proposed method for determining the amount of goodwill to be included in the net assets to be disposed of. Under the new method, a portion of the reporting unit's goodwill will be allocated to all divestitures. I do not believe that the Board gave full consideration to all of the issues surrounding this decision. In particular, they did not address application to divestitures that result in a loss prior to or as a result of goodwill allocation and disposals of equity, cost or fair value method investments. additionally, the calculation itself is arbitrary and onerous in that fair values of the reporting unit and its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities will have to be determined each time a divestiture is done. I will be consulting with AA on this to see if they can encourage the Board to give thought to these issues prior to releasing the final statement since they do not intend to discuss the issue further at this time. The Board changed the proposed method of allocating goodwill upon an acquisition to allow for allocation of goodwill in an acquisition to a reporting unit even if none of the assets or liabilities of the acquired company have been allocated to that reporting unit.

I have had very few seizures, maybe one every 4 or 5 years. The last one was four months ago. After I had that one, I recovered and was fine, but about a month ago, I started having what seem like auras. They are different than the auras that I have had in the past. There are two types, from which one was not so severe. I will be working on something or thinking of something, and it seems like my brain just turns off for a second. These are distracting, but not very disturbing. I have several of these during the day, up to 15. The second type is more severe and disturbing. It usually causes me to jump with fright. For a few seconds, I can hear what is being said to me, but I cannot understand the words. Sometimes I can, but I must really focus. Sometimes, I can still speak, but I also have to focus hard. I might have two or three of these each day. Afterward, I have a headache that might last an hour or two, and NSAIDs do not help much. I take Tegretol, 200 mg three times a day. I was also taking Klonopin after the seizure four months ago. This has been going on for a month now with little change. It just started one day, and it has been the same ever since. I did not have any head trauma or seizure activity since the one four months ago. The access to healthcare here is good, but doctors get patients in and out as quickly as possible, so I do not feel like the doctor is going to do anything if I am not in danger. I have already had an MRI and EEG, and everything seems normal. It is just very upsetting because I cannot enjoy my normal life. Every time it happens, my head hurts, and I am scared and nervous that something is wrong. I am continuing to see the doctor, but I do not have much hope that it is going to help. Hi. I have analyzed the symptoms you described in the query. The appearance and pattern of aura are actually suggestive of the fact that the electrical activity of your brain is out of control. Though it is not a full blown seizure, it is surely an early phase of seizures. I suggest you increase the dose of Tegretol (Carbamazepine) to 200-200-400. It would be best if you can repeat the MRI brain whenever the pattern of seizures changes. There is a possibility that something might have changed in brain structure also.

Status of illicit Narcotics Production Afghanistan remains a major producer of opium and hashish as well as an important producer of heroin. It is estimated that Afghanistan produced between 400 and 600 metric tons of opium in 1997, a significant increase compared to figures above the estimated 400-450 MT produced in 1984. But production will decrease in 1988. In fact, sources indicate that the Afghan regime and the Soviets, for political reasons, are discouraging opium production in some areas of the country. The Soviet withdrawal and the ongoing civil war will likely have a major impact on Afghanistan's drug production and trafficking. There has been a decrease in poppy cultivation in Afghanistan, and reliable sources believe that this has been done by either Soviet or Kabul regime officials to reduce production. In the past, the Soviet-imposed regime in Kabul provided statistics on production, trafficking and seizures to the United Nations Fund for Drug Abuse Control (UNFDAC). However, with the closing of that office in 1986, data reported to the UN has declined. In any case, statistics released by the regime on production, trafficking or domestic drug abuse are largely discounted, since the regime lacks both the capability and interest to collect reliable data. In addition, what information is released frequently is tailored for propaganda purposes and is not accurate. However, independent assessments of opium cultivation and production are indicating that new increases can be expected. This is due to the breakdown of the Kabul regime's authority, the ongoing civil war, and the disruption of the traditional economy. Many of these factors will result in new ways of making money, and opium production is one of the most attractive options for Afghans who have not sought refuge abroad. This is notably the case in the low-investment, high-return areas near the Pakistan- Iran border, such as in Herat, where opium production has increased in recent years due to the severity of fighting which has made Herat a virtual ""no-man's land."" Kabul is attractive as a center for opium refining because it is Afghanistan's principal point of international transportation and offers access to the necessary chemicals and a market within the city. Regime-controlled customs and border controls allow for monitoring of most imports and exports, including chemicals used in heroin production, and are significantly regime interference operations within Afghanistan. The regime, through its merchants, offers circumstantial evidence of regime involvement at the policy level in heroin refining, as well as involvement and awareness of refining activities among regime officials. There is no evidence, however, of regime involvement at the policy level in heroin refining. The regime has estimated that 10 percent of the opium, 90 percent of the hashish, and 100 percent of the heroin either produced or trafficked in Afghanistan is destined for other countries. The regime's figures probably understate the percentage of local drug consumption and the flow of drugs through Pakistan. In many instances of seizures concealed in large seizures in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and other countries, follow a similar pattern. This pattern suggests an organized smuggling operation. Narcotics from Pakistan usually enter Afghanistan through the Khyber Pass route. Other likely routes include across the Iranian border, through the Saluchi tribal area, and from unofficial Saluchi routes from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Iran. Heroin is a principal trade item and is often exchanged for consumer goods. Heroin purchased in Kabul is reportedly sold for twice the price in Herat and four times the price in Mashhad (Iran). Many civil servants have abandoned their paying jobs to join in this lucrative trade. There is no reliable information available on the extent of money laundering, if any takes place. 4.2. Accomplishments in 1987 The Kabul regime's narcotics control activities are confined to Kabul and a few of opium the Taliban regime production. The Soviet invasion and the ensuing war have disrupted the flow of supplies and equipment to the countryside and have forced the abandonment of many tracts of land. The inaccessibility of many areas of the country because of the war has also reduced the availability of traditional agricultural products. Due to the efforts of the Ministry of Interior, although it has been understaffed by relatively experienced personnel, it is severely underfunded and charges little for the Kabul regime's bureaucracy. The ""claims"" may have carried out seizures and made arrests, but the number is not known. With the closure of the narcotics control measures, it has become very difficult. 4.3. Plans, Programs and Ti The regime is not known to have a timetable for the elimination of the illicit cultivation of narcotics. -176- 4.4. Adequacy of Legal and Law Enforcement Measures Apart from claims of seizures and arrests (which cannot be confirmed), the Kabul regime's enforcement efforts appear to be at a low level, except for regime-Soviet military actions against Mujahideen who coincidentally may be involved in narcotics production or trafficking. The regime's possible non-compliance with the terms of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (failure to seek authorization of apparently ongoing sales of non-seized opium since the regime itself is technically obliged to do so under the terms of the Convention which the regime and the Soviet Union have ratified) may be involved in narcotics production or trafficking. The regime's possible non-compliance with the terms of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (failure to seek authorization of apparently ongoing sales of non-seized opium since the regime itself is technically obliged to do so under the terms of the Convention which the regime and the Soviet Union have ratified) may be involved in narcotics production or trafficking. 4.5. Domestic Drug Abuse While the regime is among the signatories of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, it offers little information regarding the extent of the problem. Outside experts estimate that Afghanistan has as many as 100,000 heroin addicts and a significant population of frequent substance users. Afghanistan is a landlocked South Asian country with an area of 652,090 square miles (250,770 sq km) and an estimated population of fifteen million. More than five million Afghans have sought refuge in neighboring countries since 1979. Much of the country is extremely mountainous, making it difficult for overland transport and communication. In the West, the climate is generally arid or semi-arid. Only 14 million hectares are arable, and much of that requires irrigation. Opium production has been a common practice for centuries. As such, the narcotic has been integrated into many aspects of Afghan social habits and mores. Despite Islam's prohibition of its use, it remains widely used among the population, particularly among the elderly. It is not seen as a taboo or immoral item, but rather as a trace element in the culture. Afghanistan is by far the largest producer of opium, followed by the Helmand River Valley and Badakhshan. Hashish production is more limited but still significant. The Soviet invasion and subsequent war between Soviet and regime troops and the Mujahideen resistance have resulted in the depopulation of many areas (sometimes as a conscious policy pursued by Soviet and regime troops) and the destruction of much of the country's rudimentary economic infrastructure. Some five million Afghans have fled their homeland, roughly one third of the surviving population (estimates of those killed in the war range near one million). The population that has remained has been forced to rely on crops that are less labor-intensive and which do not depend on irrigation systems. In these circumstances, opium, which also provides a large cash return, resists spoilage, and is relatively easy to transport, has become the preferred crop for many farmers. In a situation of virtually nonexistent government support and diminished traditional social structures, farmers who remain are left largely to their own devices to struggle for the survival of their families. These alterations that might have militated against the production of narcotics are in such circumstances subordinated to the need for survival. Domestic demand in Afghanistan for narcotics is relatively limited. The Soviet military and civilian personnel are a principal source of demand, but this has diminished as the Soviet military presence has been reduced. The increase in urbanization and the growth of a middle class have made narcotics of greater importance as means of social control. Traditional means of barter, hashish in particular, are also used as a medium of exchange in rural trade. There are, for example, numerous accounts of Soviet and regime soldiers stopping travellers and commercial exchanges and demanding hashish as payment. The war has placed great strains on traditional Afghan food production. The flight of refugees from rural Afghanistan has had a significant impact on traditional agriculture. Loss of manpower, particularly for field work, has contributed significantly to the decrease in traditional Afghan food production. The Soviet invasion and the ensuing war have disrupted the flow of supplies and equipment to the countryside and have forced the abandonment of many tracts of land. The inaccessibility of many areas of the country because of the war has also reduced the availability of traditional agricultural products. Soviet Union.

However, the figure is lower this year than in past years, due to rough and adverse weather conditions in growing areas. There is disagreement between U.S. and GOP officials on the effectiveness of the program in 1957. The Pakistani Narcotics Control Board estimated that production actually decreased from 85 to 80 metric tons. Gathering the data on resources, the GOP and areas to are cities, covered by estates under where U.S. and GOP production estimates differ because of the methods on which these estimates are based (aerial surveys and development agreements, largely tribadory groups whose cultivation has decreased. Following spotty enforcement, the GOP redoubled their efforts in the upcoming season. Large-scale aerial spraying of herbicides for the first time were preceded by an active public awareness campaign and systematic establishment of a dialogue with local leaders. However, in areas such as Malakand, Swat, and Buner where the GOP was committed to enforce the poppy ban, production increased. However, the Pakistani ban on opium cultivation is not effective until they have been scheduled for eradication. Farmers responded to effective enforcement of the poppy ban by expanding plantings in nearby areas and autonomous tribal regions not subject to enforcement (Dir District, the Hazara Tribal Area, Bajaur, and Mohmand). Thus, positive efforts at eradication have been counterbalanced by increases in cultivation of opium poppy in areas where the ban on cultivation is not in place. It is believed that these areas, including a portion of Dir, and tribal areas like Bajaur and Mohmand, and small areas of Hazara, now account for a majority (sixty percent) of During the last harvest cycle, the GOP began a helicopter eradication program on a pilot basis with 2.5. distance. This program resulted in the destruction of about 406 hectares of opium poppy and also served as effective backup to manual eradication. In the upcoming cycle, the GOP is expanding the use of helicopters and is increasing aerial eradication capacity, which will approximately double eradication capability. Overall opium production estimates are complicated by uncertainty about the number of Pakistani addicts and the volume of raw opium exported from Pakistan and Afghanistan to feed its addict population. A recent survey of drug abuse in Pakistan, conducted and supervised by the Federal Republic of Germany, estimated that opium abusers require 340 metric tons of opium, with a generous margin for error. It is clear that Pakistan is a transit point for opium and heroin trafficking from Afghanistan. The drug generally enters the United States concealed in shipments of textiles, sports equipment, and medical instruments, and is also hidden in luggage, personal effects, and/or the body cavities of couriers. Narcotics for local consumption in Pakistan normally take the form of less highly refined ""brown sugar"" (heroin base). The drug trade in Pakistan involves a variety of individuals, including opium farmers, manufacturers, middlemen, and international traffickers. The NWFP has encouraged opium poppy cultivation, with some political parties opposing efforts to control opium production. The exception is the leftist National Awami Party, which has consistently denounced efforts to control opium, charging that such actions are prompted by the United States and are detrimental to FP farmers. Pakistan is not a major center for money laundering. The structure of the Pakistani financial system, the existence of the ""hundi"" system, and the large number of overseas Pakistanis who regularly transmit funds in a variety of forms complicate Pakistani financial activities. the first time, has been involved in training. The U.S. Customs Service provided training to Pakistan Customs and the Pakistan Coast Guard in 1987 and 1988, respectively. In addition, the U.S. Coast Guard has provided training to the Maritime Security Agency, a newly created unit with responsibility for narcotics interdiction in Pakistan's territorial waters. The training courses were funded by the U.S. and taught by the U.S. Coast Guard. Both the PNCB and Pakistan Customs have received budgetary approval to expand their special drug enforcement cells this year. Pakistan Customs is also in the process of establishing contraband enforcement teams (CETs) modeled after U.S. Customs' contraband interdiction teams. Funding for these new teams is being provided by the U.S. program budget and personnel trained in 1987 and 1988. U.S. Customs also provided training to the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) in 1987, which, for the first time, has been involved in drug interdiction training. In addition to training, the U.S. has also provided equipment and technical assistance to Pakistan's counter-narcotics efforts. This includes the provision of communications equipment, vehicles, and drug detection kits to Pakistan Customs and the PNCB. The U.S. has also provided technical assistance for the establishment of a drug analysis laboratory in Karachi, as well as for the development of a computerized drug information system for the PNCB. The U.S. has also supported Pakistan's demand reduction efforts, including the establishment of treatment and rehabilitation centers throughout the country. The U.S. has also provided training and technical assistance to Pakistan's drug demand reduction programs, including the training of drug counselors and the development of drug education materials. In conclusion, while Pakistan faces significant challenges in its counter-narcotics efforts, the U.S. remains committed to working with Pakistan to address this critical issue. Through continued cooperation and support, we hope to see progress in Pakistan's efforts to combat drug trafficking and abuse. possible, the GOP will also seek to forfeiture of traffickers' assets. This includes assets located in Pakistan, as well as assets located abroad which can be seized or money derived from the proceeds of narcotics trafficking. The extent to which this law will be useful to enforcement agencies is still being tested in the courts. It should be noted, however, that in a recent case, the GOP used this law to justify diving deeply into a defendant's financial records, a marked departure from the GOP's normal practice of deferring to the defendant's ""right to remain silent."" As a result of U.S. efforts to extradite a major Pakistani drug trafficker, Zulfikar Khan, a Pakistani court ruled during 1987 that a Pakistan national who conspires to commit a narcotics offense in the United States may be extradited to the U.S. on request, regardless of whether the United States has jurisdiction when the offense took place. If a fugitive from justice, but upon his return to Pakistan, he indicated his readiness to proceed with the extradition process. A.3. Plans, Programs, and Timetables Since its inception, enforcement has been closely linked to the provision of development assistance in the opium growing region. The GOP plans to increase opium production. Expansion of the eradication program, especially the addition of fixed wing aerial spraying capabilities, will reinforce other GOP efforts to enforce the drug ban. After social exhortation, public warnings, and manual eradication have taken place, the GOP will have the capacity and flexibility to eradicate remaining crops. In late 1987 and early 1988, the GOP plans to eliminate opium poppy cultivation throughout the country, except for portions of Dir, the tribal areas, and two small areas in Waziristan. Opium poppy not eliminated under the above will be eradicated by aerial spraying. It is expected that funding for projects in these areas will be provided by a consortium of donors in the future. For instance, the U.S. has developed a program to use crop substitution to reduce cultivation. Although the ultimate goal of ending production of opium poppy will be eliminated, the GOP, with the assistance of a consortium of donors, will use crop substitution and development assistance to act as a catalyst for the ultimate goal of ending production of opium poppy in the tribal areas. The possibility of ending production in the tribal areas was raised at a meeting of officials from the National Assembly and the Special Development Fund. Participants were optimistic that a method could be formulated to eventually end cultivation in the tribal areas but no concrete plans have been formulated. The officials agreed to give the question more thought and to meet again in January 1988. We anticipate the development of a strategy to eliminate opium poppy cultivation in the tribal areas, and the early implementation of this plan, perhaps beginning as soon as June 1988. In December 1986, the Pakistan Interior Secretary and Indian Home Secretary agreed to form a ten-member committee to share information relating to drug traffickers and smugglers from either side of the common border, and agreed the committee would meet periodically to develop strategy. This committee met in April 1987 and both parties have indicated that they found the meetings useful. As the law stands now, the GOP has the authority to arrest, prosecute, and imprison traffickers. To the extent possible, the GOP will also seek to obtain forfeiture of traffickers' assets. This includes assets located in Pakistan, as well as assets located abroad which can be seized or money derived from the proceeds of narcotics trafficking. The extent to which this law will be useful to enforcement agencies is still being tested in the courts.

To the extent possible, the GOP will also seek to obtain forfeiture of traffickers' assets. This includes users and street level pushers une distributors are involved, the provincial police forces have primary responsibility (under the overall authority of the Ministry of the Interior). Besides interdicting street peddlers, provincial forces enforce the government's ban on opium poppy cultivation and provide personnel at Joint Narcotics Task Force (JNTF) units. Building upon provincial police strategies to reduce the availability of drugs, the GOP has developed specialized narcotics investigation units. These units are part of the ""Helicopter Enforcement Cells"" (HEC) of Customs and the Joint Narcotics Control Section (JNCS), which also have interdiction responsibilities. Interdiction techniques are well understood by GOP law enforcement agencies. Since such law enforcement procedures have been in use, Pakistan officials report that they have been successful in reducing drug trafficking. Another important aspect of the GOP's law enforcement approach is the DEA's ""Foreign Advisor Program."" This program targets narcotics states and other foreign countries, thereby assisting the United States (through the DEA) and others to reach major trafficking organizations. Under this program, the GOP permits any country so desiring to station drug enforcement personnel in Pakistan. At the same time, the GOP permits the foreign law enforcement liaison officers, utilizing their own independent informant networks, to initiate and conduct investigations involving smuggling of narcotics outside Pakistan. Customs, SDEC, and JNIF units cooperate in these investigations at the request of the foreign liaison officers and assist in all cases requiring controlled deliveries of narcotics to foreign countries. Currently, the U.S. has narcotics enforcement officers stationed in Pakistan. These officers include the following: Federal Republic of Germany/BKA The Netherlands/CRI United Kingdom/HM Customs Nordic Countries/Norway Canada/RCMP Australia The PNCS, a semi-autonomous agency within the Ministry of Interior, is the principal government body responsible for the narcotics control effort. The GOP established the PNCS in March 1973 in fulfillment of its obligations under the United Nations ""Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs."" The charter creating the board gives it wide-ranging responsibilities of ""law enforcement, advisory, supervisory and coordinating nature."" The PNCS has regional offices in each provincial capital to which a total of fifteen Joint Narcotics Task Force (JNTF) units are attached. (JNTF units are combined enforcement elements of the PNCS, the taxation departments, and, in certain units, Customs. The Customs Service has the responsibility to interdict narcotics orders; special Customs drug enforcement units are utilized to assist in this effort. In addition, the enforcement Pakistan Customs units have also been actively involved in officers on board commercial flights; inspectors must initially pass through customs inspections, and any suspicious items should narcotics be discovered are entered into a computer assisted management system. At the same time, field offices which have been established in the frontier areas of the country have seen an increase in narcotics-related surveillance, particularly in the tribal areas, as well as on the borders between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Rangers are paramilitary units which patrol the Indo-Pakistan border. The provincial excise and taxation departments are responsible for enforcing the Dangerous Drugs Act and provincial excise enactments proscribing opium cultivation, processing and possession. Since enactment of the law prohibiting the use and cultivation of opium, these agencies have intensified efforts against narcotics. U.S. Domestic Drug Abuse Opium addicts in the United States command a higher price than opium addicts in Pakistan. Pakistan has facilities for treating opium addicts, having both inpatient and outpatient treatment facilities. In all, some 300 beds are available for methadone treatment. These centers, using the ""cold turkey"" approach supplemented with symptomatic treatment of withdrawal pains, have a reported cure rate of approximately 20 percent -- with an unknown number of relapses. There are 26 centers for the treatment of drug addiction in Pakistan. B.l. Nature of illicit Drug The PNCB estimates that = —_ maen tae weaniiany : Eazara.

As in earlier years, the survey is based on actual physical inspections, a review of provincial department of agriculture records, and interviews with opium farmers. As noted above, The PNCB is unable to estimate the amount of heroin refined in the production centers of Khyber, Kurram, Mohmand, and Gaisaur agencies. Nationwide heroin seizures for the first nine months of 1987 were 2.2 tons. Approximately 4.5 tons of opium were seized in 1986. Data concerning cannabis cultivation and production are not collected. Cannabis grows wild throughout Pakistan and is systematically cultivated in Chitral and other northern areas. The government has not taken any measures to eradicate cannabis, as it is not considered a major threat. In an attempt to reduce cultivation, the government has threatened to use forcible manual eradication and aerial spraying. However, these methods have proven to be ineffective, as they are carried out too late in the crop's growth cycle. In the few weeks during which aerial spraying took place, the helicopter spray effort eradicated only about 300 hectares of opium, but this test program clearly demonstrated the inefficiency of aerial eradication in the mountainous terrain of the NWFP. Perhaps more importantly, the limited but successful use of aerial eradication enhanced the government's credibility and proved the effectiveness of aerial eradication as an enforcement tool. For the 1987-88 crop cycle, the government has increased public awareness efforts and narcotics-related negotiations with tribal leaders. As a result of last year's campaign, aerial eradication proved to be more effective in areas where the government has a stronger presence, such as in the Black Mountains, and in industrial areas. However, the severe drought conditions at the beginning of the 1987-88 growing season have reduced the potential opium yield this year to 2 kg. per hectare. The drought should affect the hectarage in areas not subject to enforcement from 5,600 hectares to 3,900 hectares. Maximum Achievable Reduction: With maximum achievable reductions, the Pakistan opium harvest could be reduced to 30 to 300 metric tons. The estimates for opium cultivation for the 1987-1988 growing season are based on the PNCB's land survey, as well as all other information available. The best case estimate is based on the following assumptions: a) the government will destroy all opium poppy in areas to which the ban has been extended, such as portions of the Black Mountains, and industrial areas; b) the ban has not been extended; c) the drought will reduce potential yields from a normal 20 kg. per hectare to 12.5 kg per hectare; and d) GOP enforcement efforts will be sufficient to enforce the poppy ban. Based on these assumptions, the net cultivation will be reduced from 23,000 hectares to 10,055-10,380 hectares. Assuming that the drought will reduce potential yields from a normal 20 kg. per hectare to 12.5 kg. per hectare, the net production will be reduced from 2,090 metric tons to 135-160 metric tons.

March 1, 1988 (UNCLASSIFIED) Line nd Trafficking fo A.i. Status of illicit Narcotics Production Afghanistan remains a major producer of opium and hashish as well as an important producer of heroin. It is estimated that Afghanistan produced between 400 and 600 metric tons of opium in 1997, a significant increase compared to figures above the estimated 400-450 MT produced in 1984. But production will decrease in 1988. In fact, sources indicate that the Afghan regime and the Soviets, for political reasons, are discouraging opium production in some areas of the country. The Soviet withdrawal and the ongoing civil war will likely have a major impact on Afghanistan's drug production and trafficking. There has been a decrease in poppy cultivation in Afghanistan, and reliable sources believe that this has been done by either Soviet or Kabul regime officials to reduce production. In the past, the Soviet-imposed regime in Kabul provided statistics on production, trafficking and seizures to the United Nations Fund for Drug Abuse Control (UNFDAC). However, with the closing of that office in 1986, data reported to the UN has declined. In any case, statistics released by the regime on production, trafficking or domestic drug abuse are largely discounted, since the regime lacks both the capability and interest to collect reliable data. In addition, what information is released frequently is tailored for propaganda purposes and is not accurate. However, independent assessments of opium cultivation and production are indicating that new increases can be expected. This is due to the breakdown of the Kabul regime's authority, the ongoing civil war, and the disruption of the traditional economy. Many of these factors will result in new ways of making money, and opium production is one of the most attractive options for Afghans who have not sought refuge abroad. This is notably the case in the low-investment, high-return areas near the Pakistan- Iran border, such as in Herat, where opium production has increased in recent years due to the severity of fighting which has made Herat a virtual ""no-man's land."" Kabul is attractive as a center for opium refining because it is Afghanistan's principal point of international transportation and offers access to the necessary chemicals and a market within the city. Regime-controlled customs and border controls allow for monitoring of most imports and exports, including chemicals used in heroin production, and are significantly regime interference operations within Afghanistan. The regime, through its merchants, offers circumstantial evidence of regime involvement at the policy level in heroin refining, as well as involvement and awareness of refining activities among regime officials. There is no evidence, however, of regime involvement at the policy level in heroin refining. The regime has estimated that 10 percent of the opium, 90 percent of the hashish, and 100 percent of the heroin either produced or trafficked in Afghanistan is destined for other countries. The regime's figures probably understate the percentage of local drug consumption and the flow of drugs through Pakistan. In many instances of seizures concealed in large seizures in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and other countries, follow a similar pattern. This pattern suggests an organized smuggling operation. Narcotics from Pakistan usually enter Afghanistan through the Khyber Pass route. Other likely routes include across the Iranian border, through the Saluchi tribal area, and from unofficial Saluchi routes from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Iran. Heroin is a principal trade item and is often exchanged for consumer goods. Heroin purchased in Kabul is reportedly sold for twice the price in Herat and four times the price in Mashhad (Iran). Many civil servants have abandoned their paying jobs to join in this lucrative trade. There is no reliable information available on the extent of money laundering, if any takes place. 4.2. Accomplishments in 1987 The Kabul regime's narcotics control activities are confined to Kabul and a few of opium the Taliban regime production. The Soviet invasion and the ensuing war have disrupted the flow of supplies and equipment to the countryside and have forced the abandonment of many tracts of land. The inaccessibility of many areas of the country because of the war has also reduced the availability of traditional agricultural products. Due to the efforts of the Ministry of Interior, although it has been understaffed by relatively experienced personnel, it is severely underfunded and charges little for the Kabul regime's bureaucracy. The ""claims"" may have carried out seizures and made arrests, but the number is not known. With the closure of the narcotics control measures, it has become very difficult. 4.3. Plans, Programs and Ti The regime is not known to have a timetable for the elimination of the illicit cultivation of narcotics. -176- 4.4. Adequacy of Legal and Law Enforcement Measures Apart from claims of seizures and arrests (which cannot be confirmed), the Kabul regime's enforcement efforts appear to be at a low level, except for regime-Soviet military actions against Mujahideen who coincidentally may be involved in narcotics production or trafficking. The regime's possible non-compliance with the terms of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (failure to seek authorization of apparently ongoing sales of non-seized opium since the regime itself is technically obliged to do so under the terms of the Convention which the regime and the Soviet Union have ratified) may be involved in narcotics production or trafficking. The regime's possible non-compliance with the terms of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (failure to seek authorization of apparently ongoing sales of non-seized opium since the regime itself is technically obliged to do so under the terms of the Convention which the regime and the Soviet Union have ratified) may be involved in narcotics production or trafficking. 4.5. Domestic Drug Abuse While the regime is among the signatories of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, it offers little information regarding the extent of the problem. Outside experts estimate that Afghanistan has as many as 100,000 heroin addicts and a significant population of frequent substance users. Afghanistan is a landlocked South Asian country with an area of 652,090 square miles (250,770 sq km) and an estimated population of fifteen million. More than five million Afghans have sought refuge in neighboring countries since 1979. Much of the country is extremely mountainous, making it difficult for overland transport and communication. In the West, the climate is generally arid or semi-arid. Only 14 million hectares are arable, and much of that requires irrigation. Opium production has been a common practice for centuries. As such, the narcotic has been integrated into many aspects of Afghan social habits and mores. Despite Islam's prohibition of its use, it remains widely used among the population, particularly among the elderly. It is not seen as a taboo or immoral item, but rather as a trace element in the culture. Afghanistan is by far the largest producer of opium, followed by the Helmand River Valley and Badakhshan. Hashish production is more limited but still significant. The Soviet invasion and subsequent war between Soviet and regime troops and the Mujahideen resistance have resulted in the depopulation of many areas (sometimes as a conscious policy pursued by Soviet and regime troops) and the destruction of much of the country's rudimentary economic infrastructure. Some five million Afghans have fled their homeland, roughly one third of the surviving population (estimates of those killed in the war range near one million). The population that has remained has been forced to rely on crops that are less labor-intensive and which do not depend on irrigation systems. In these circumstances, opium, which also provides a large cash return, resists spoilage, and is relatively easy to transport, has become the preferred crop for many farmers. In a situation of virtually nonexistent government support and diminished traditional social structures, farmers who remain are left largely to their own devices to struggle for the survival of their families. These alterations that might have militated against the production of narcotics are in such circumstances subordinated to the need for survival. Domestic demand in Afghanistan for narcotics is relatively limited. The Soviet military and civilian personnel are a principal source of demand, but this has diminished as the Soviet military presence has been reduced. The increase in urbanization and the growth of a middle class have made narcotics of greater importance as means of social control. Traditional means of barter, hashish in particular, are also used as a medium of exchange in rural trade. There are, for example, numerous accounts of Soviet and regime soldiers stopping travellers and commercial exchanges and demanding hashish as payment. The war has placed great strains on traditional Afghan food production. The flight of refugees from rural Afghanistan has had a significant impact on traditional agriculture. Loss of manpower, particularly for field work, has contributed significantly to the decrease in traditional Afghan food production. The Soviet invasion and the ensuing war have disrupted the flow of supplies and equipment to the countryside and have forced the abandonment of many tracts of land. The inaccessibility of many areas of the country because of the war has also reduced the availability of traditional agricultural products. Soviet Union.

However, the figure is lower this year than in past years, due to rough and adverse weather conditions in growing areas. There is disagreement between U.S. and GOP officials on the effectiveness of the program in 1957. The Pakistani Narcotics Control Board estimated that production actually decreased from 85 to 80 metric tons. Gathering the data on resources, the GOP and areas to are cities, covered by estates under where U.S. and GOP production estimates differ because of the methods on which these estimates are based (aerial surveys and development agreements, largely tribadory groups whose cultivation has decreased. Following spotty enforcement, the GOP redoubled their efforts in the upcoming season. Large-scale aerial spraying of herbicides for the first time were preceded by an active public awareness campaign and systematic establishment of a dialogue with local leaders. However, in areas such as Malakand, Swat, and Buner where the GOP was committed to enforce the poppy ban, production increased. However, the Pakistani ban on opium cultivation is not effective until they have been scheduled for eradication. Farmers responded to effective enforcement of the poppy ban by expanding plantings in nearby areas and autonomous tribal regions not subject to enforcement (Dir District, the Hazara Tribal Area, Bajaur, and Mohmand). Thus, positive efforts at eradication have been counterbalanced by increases in cultivation of opium poppy in areas where the ban on cultivation is not in place. It is believed that these areas, including a portion of Dir, and tribal areas like Bajaur and Mohmand, and small areas of Hazara, now account for a majority (sixty percent) of During the last harvest cycle, the GOP began a helicopter eradication program on a pilot basis with 2.5. distance. This program resulted in the destruction of about 406 hectares of opium poppy and also served as effective backup to manual eradication. In the upcoming cycle, the GOP is expanding the use of helicopters and is increasing aerial eradication capacity, which will approximately double eradication capability. Overall opium production estimates are complicated by uncertainty about the number of Pakistani addicts and the volume of raw opium exported from Pakistan and Afghanistan to feed its addict population. A recent survey of drug abuse in Pakistan, conducted and supervised by the Federal Republic of Germany, estimated that opium abusers require 340 metric tons of opium, with a generous margin for error. It is clear that Pakistan is a transit point for opium and heroin trafficking from Afghanistan. The drug generally enters the United States concealed in shipments of textiles, sports equipment, and medical instruments, and is also hidden in luggage, personal effects, and/or the body cavities of couriers. Narcotics for local consumption in Pakistan normally take the form of less highly refined ""brown sugar"" (heroin base). The drug trade in Pakistan involves a variety of individuals, including opium farmers, manufacturers, middlemen, and international traffickers. The NWFP has encouraged opium poppy cultivation, with some political parties opposing efforts to control opium production. The exception is the leftist National Awami Party, which has consistently denounced efforts to control opium, charging that such actions are prompted by the United States and are detrimental to FP farmers. Pakistan is not a major center for money laundering. The structure of the Pakistani financial system, the existence of the ""hundi"" system, and the large number of overseas Pakistanis who regularly transmit funds in a variety of forms complicate Pakistani financial activities. the first time, has been involved in training. The U.S. Customs Service provided training to Pakistan Customs and the Pakistan Coast Guard in 1987 and 1988, respectively. In addition, the U.S. Coast Guard has provided training to the Maritime Security Agency, a newly created unit with responsibility for narcotics interdiction in Pakistan's territorial waters. The training courses were funded by the U.S. and taught by the U.S. Coast Guard. Both the PNCB and Pakistan Customs have received budgetary approval to expand their special drug enforcement cells this year. Pakistan Customs is also in the process of establishing contraband enforcement teams (CETs) modeled after U.S. Customs' contraband interdiction teams. Funding for these new teams is being provided by the U.S. program budget and personnel trained in 1987 and 1988. U.S. Customs also provided training to the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) in 1987, which, for the first time, has been involved in drug interdiction training. In addition to training, the U.S. has also provided equipment and technical assistance to Pakistan's counter-narcotics efforts. This includes the provision of communications equipment, vehicles, and drug detection kits to Pakistan Customs and the PNCB. The U.S. has also provided technical assistance for the establishment of a drug analysis laboratory in Karachi, as well as for the development of a computerized drug information system for the PNCB. The U.S. has also supported Pakistan's demand reduction efforts, including the establishment of treatment and rehabilitation centers throughout the country. The U.S. has also provided training and technical assistance to Pakistan's drug demand reduction programs, including the training of drug counselors and the development of drug education materials. In conclusion, while Pakistan faces significant challenges in its counter-narcotics efforts, the U.S. remains committed to working with Pakistan to address this critical issue. Through continued cooperation and support, we hope to see progress in Pakistan's efforts to combat drug trafficking and abuse. possible, the GOP will also seek to forfeiture of traffickers' assets. This includes assets located in Pakistan, as well as assets located abroad which can be seized or money derived from the proceeds of narcotics trafficking. The extent to which this law will be useful to enforcement agencies is still being tested in the courts. It should be noted, however, that in a recent case, the GOP used this law to justify diving deeply into a defendant's financial records, a marked departure from the GOP's normal practice of deferring to the defendant's ""right to remain silent."" As a result of U.S. efforts to extradite a major Pakistani drug trafficker, Zulfikar Khan, a Pakistani court ruled during 1987 that a Pakistan national who conspires to commit a narcotics offense in the United States may be extradited to the U.S. on request, regardless of whether the United States has jurisdiction when the offense took place. If a fugitive from justice, but upon his return to Pakistan, he indicated his readiness to proceed with the extradition process. A.3. Plans, Programs, and Timetables Since its inception, enforcement has been closely linked to the provision of development assistance in the opium growing region. The GOP plans to increase opium production. Expansion of the eradication program, especially the addition of fixed wing aerial spraying capabilities, will reinforce other GOP efforts to enforce the drug ban. After social exhortation, public warnings, and manual eradication have taken place, the GOP will have the capacity and flexibility to eradicate remaining crops. In late 1987 and early 1988, the GOP plans to eliminate opium poppy cultivation throughout the country, except for portions of Dir, the tribal areas, and two small areas in Waziristan. Opium poppy not eliminated under the above will be eradicated by aerial spraying. It is expected that funding for projects in these areas will be provided by a consortium of donors in the future. For instance, the U.S. has developed a program to use crop substitution to reduce cultivation. Although the ultimate goal of ending production of opium poppy will be eliminated, the GOP, with the assistance of a consortium of donors, will use crop substitution and development assistance to act as a catalyst for the ultimate goal of ending production of opium poppy in the tribal areas. The possibility of ending production in the tribal areas was raised at a meeting of officials from the National Assembly and the Special Development Fund. Participants were optimistic that a method could be formulated to eventually end cultivation in the tribal areas but no concrete plans have been formulated. The officials agreed to give the question more thought and to meet again in January 1988. We anticipate the development of a strategy to eliminate opium poppy cultivation in the tribal areas, and the early implementation of this plan, perhaps beginning as soon as June 1988. In December 1986, the Pakistan Interior Secretary and Indian Home Secretary agreed to form a ten-member committee to share information relating to drug traffickers and smugglers from either side of the common border, and agreed the committee would meet periodically to develop strategy. This committee met in April 1987 and both parties have indicated that they found the meetings useful. As the law stands now, the GOP has the authority to arrest, prosecute, and imprison traffickers. To the extent possible, the GOP will also seek to obtain forfeiture of traffickers' assets. This includes assets located in Pakistan, as well as assets located abroad which can be seized or money derived from the proceeds of narcotics trafficking. The extent to which this law will be useful to enforcement agencies is still being tested in the courts.

To the extent possible, the GOP will also seek to obtain forfeiture of traffickers' assets. This includes users and street level pushers une distributors are involved, the provincial police forces have primary responsibility (under the overall authority of the Ministry of the Interior). Besides interdicting street peddlers, provincial forces enforce the government's ban on opium poppy cultivation and provide personnel at Joint Narcotics Task Force (JNTF) units. Building upon provincial police strategies to reduce the availability of drugs, the GOP has developed specialized narcotics investigation units. These units are part of the ""Helicopter Enforcement Cells"" (HEC) of Customs and the Joint Narcotics Control Section (JNCS), which also have interdiction responsibilities. Interdiction techniques are well understood by GOP law enforcement agencies. Since such law enforcement procedures have been in use, Pakistan officials report that they have been successful in reducing drug trafficking. Another important aspect of the GOP's law enforcement approach is the DEA's ""Foreign Advisor Program."" This program targets narcotics states and other foreign countries, thereby assisting the United States (through the DEA) and others to reach major trafficking organizations. Under this program, the GOP permits any country so desiring to station drug enforcement personnel in Pakistan. At the same time, the GOP permits the foreign law enforcement liaison officers, utilizing their own independent informant networks, to initiate and conduct investigations involving smuggling of narcotics outside Pakistan. Customs, SDEC, and JNIF units cooperate in these investigations at the request of the foreign liaison officers and assist in all cases requiring controlled deliveries of narcotics to foreign countries. Currently, the U.S. has narcotics enforcement officers stationed in Pakistan. These officers include the following: Federal Republic of Germany/BKA The Netherlands/CRI United Kingdom/HM Customs Nordic Countries/Norway Canada/RCMP Australia The PNCS, a semi-autonomous agency within the Ministry of Interior, is the principal government body responsible for the narcotics control effort. The GOP established the PNCS in March 1973 in fulfillment of its obligations under the United Nations ""Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs."" The charter creating the board gives it wide-ranging responsibilities of ""law enforcement, advisory, supervisory and coordinating nature."" The PNCS has regional offices in each provincial capital to which a total of fifteen Joint Narcotics Task Force (JNTF) units are attached. (JNTF units are combined enforcement elements of the PNCS, the taxation departments, and, in certain units, Customs. The Customs Service has the responsibility to interdict narcotics orders; special Customs drug enforcement units are utilized to assist in this effort. In addition, the enforcement Pakistan Customs units have also been actively involved in officers on board commercial flights; inspectors must initially pass through customs inspections, and any suspicious items should narcotics be discovered are entered into a computer assisted management system. At the same time, field offices which have been established in the frontier areas of the country have seen an increase in narcotics-related surveillance, particularly in the tribal areas, as well as on the borders between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Rangers are paramilitary units which patrol the Indo-Pakistan border. The provincial excise and taxation departments are responsible for enforcing the Dangerous Drugs Act and provincial excise enactments proscribing opium cultivation, processing and possession. Since enactment of the law prohibiting the use and cultivation of opium, these agencies have intensified efforts against narcotics. U.S. Domestic Drug Abuse Opium addicts in the United States command a higher price than opium addicts in Pakistan. Pakistan has facilities for treating opium addicts, having both inpatient and outpatient treatment facilities. In all, some 300 beds are available for methadone treatment. These centers, using the ""cold turkey"" approach supplemented with symptomatic treatment of withdrawal pains, have a reported cure rate of approximately 20 percent -- with an unknown number of relapses. There are 26 centers for the treatment of drug addiction in Pakistan. B.l. Nature of illicit Drug The PNCB estimates that = —_ maen tae weaniiany : Eazara. The teara’s survey does not include growing areas in South Jazicistan, Nucram and Nonistan. As in earlier years, the survey is based on actual physical inspections, a review of provincial department of agriculture records, and interviews with opium farmers. As noted above, The PNCB is unable to estimate the amount of heroin refined in the production centers of Khyber, Kurram, Mohmand, and Gaisaur agencies. Nationwide heroin seizures for the first nine months of 1987 were 2.2 tons. Approximately 4.5 tons of opium were seized in 1986. Data concerning cannabis cultivation and production are not collected. Cannabis grows wild throughout Pakistan and is systematically cultivated in Chitral and other northern areas. The government has not taken any measures to eradicate cannabis, as it is not considered a major threat. In an attempt to reduce cultivation, the government has threatened to use forcible manual eradication and aerial spraying. However, these methods have proven to be ineffective, as they are carried out too late in the crop's growth cycle. In the few weeks during which aerial spraying took place, the helicopter spray effort eradicated only about 300 hectares of opium, but this test program clearly demonstrated the inefficiency of aerial eradication in the mountainous terrain of the NWFP. Perhaps more importantly, the limited but successful use of aerial eradication enhanced the government's credibility and proved the effectiveness of aerial eradication as an enforcement tool. For the 1987-88 crop cycle, the government has increased public awareness efforts and narcotics-related negotiations with tribal leaders. As a result of last year's campaign, aerial eradication proved to be more effective in areas where the government has a stronger presence, such as in the Black Mountains, and in industrial areas. However, the severe drought conditions at the beginning of the 1987-88 growing season have reduced the potential opium yield this year to 2 kg. per hectare. The drought should affect the hectarage in areas not subject to enforcement from 5,600 hectares to 3,900 hectares. Maximum Achievable Reduction: With maximum achievable reductions, the Pakistan opium harvest could be reduced to 30 to 300 metric tons. The estimates for opium cultivation for the 1987-1988 growing season are based on the PNCB's land survey, as well as all other information available. The best case estimate is based on the following assumptions: a) the government will destroy all opium poppy in areas to which the ban has been extended, such as portions of the Black Mountains, and industrial areas; b) the ban has not been extended; c) the drought will reduce potential yields from a normal 20 kg. per hectare to 12.5 kg per hectare; and d) GOP enforcement efforts will be sufficient to enforce the poppy ban. Based on these assumptions, the net cultivation will be reduced from 23,000 hectares to 10,055-10,380 hectares. Assuming that the drought will reduce potential yields from a normal 20 kg. per hectare to 12.5 kg. per hectare, the net production will be reduced from 2,090 metric tons to 135-160 metric tons.

It looks like he may have been bleeding....not sure if it is just diaper rash, or if it is related to the constipation, or an allergy of some sort. Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I think your kid is having habitual constipation. I have certain questions and suggestions for you.Questions:1. Did your kid pass motion or meconium on day one of life?2. Since how long is the kid constipated?3. Does the kid have any bleeding along with hard stools?4. How much milk does the kid consume per day?5. Does the kid eat fruits and vegetables (fibre diet) appropriately?You can get back with answers at the following link - www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sumanth-amperayani/67696Suggestions:1. Natural methods are the best to relieve constipation.2. Constipation is a risk factor for UTI3. Maximum milk consumption per day should not exceed 300-400ml4. Minimum 3-4 cups of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day5. Toilet training - that is - sitting in Indian type of lavatory daily at the same time will help a lot.Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer.

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.

HE ALSO WANTED TO QUIET THE CONSTANT CRITICISM FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHICH HE CONTINUES TO VIEW AS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS OPPONENT. 4. MARCOS’ FIRST MOVE WAS TO CREATE A “NEW SOCIETY” COMMISSION (NSC) TO STUDY THE PROBLEMS OF THE COUNTRY AND TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THEIR SOLUTION. HE ANNOUNCED THAT THE NSC WOULD BE A PERMANENT BODY, CONSISTING OF REPRESENTATIVES OF VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE NSC WOULD HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CALL ON ANY AND ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES FOR INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS TASKS. THE NSC WAS TO BE CHAIRMANED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT, ARTURO TOLLENTINO, WHO IS CONSIDERED TO BE A LIBERAL AND A SUPPORTER OF THE CHURCH. THE COMMISSION WAS TO BE ASSISTED BY TWO “CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEES” - ONE TO BE COMPOSED OF MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH AND THE OTHER OF MEMBERS OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. 5. THE NSC WAS CREATED BY PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 86, ISSUED ON NOVEMBER 9, 1973. THE DECREE ANNOUNCED THAT THE NSC WOULD BE THE “POLICY- FORMULATING AND ADVISORY BODY OF THE PRESIDENT ON MATTERS RELATING TO THE NEW SOCIETY PROGRAM.” IT WAS TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PRESIDENT ON THE FORMULATION OF POLICIES, PROGRAMS, AND PROJECTS OF THE NEW SOCIETY. IT WAS ALSO TO STUDY AND ANALYZE THE PROBLEMS OF THE NEW SOCIETY AND TO RECOMMEND SOLUTIONS TO THE PRESIDENT. THE DECREE [NDICATED THAT THE NSC WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE “COORDINATION AND INTEGRATION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE VARIOUS AGENCIES OF GOVERNMENT RELATING TO THE NEW SOCIETY PROGRAM.” 6. THE NSC WAS TO BE COMPOSED OF THE VICE PRESIDENT AS CHAIRMAN, THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY AS VICE- CHAIRMAN, AND A MAXIMUM OF 30 OTHER MEMBERS. THE OTHER MEMBERS WERE TO BE APPOINTED BY THE PRESIDENT AND WERE TO BE CHOSEN FROM AMONG REPRESENTATIVES OF THE VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE DECREE STATED THAT THE PRESIDENT WOULD APPOINT THE MEMBERS “AFTER CONSULTATION WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT AND THE MEMBERS OF THE NEW SOCIETY COMMISSION.” THE DECREE ALSO PROVIDED THAT THE NSC COULD ESTABLISH COMMITTEES AND SUBCOMMITTEES AS IT DEEMED NECESSARY.

THE DECREE WAS SILENT ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE NSC TO THE REGULAR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY. IT DID NOT INDICATE WHETHER THE NSC WOULD OPERATE THROUGH THE EXISTING GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE OR WOULD BE AN INDEPENDENT BODY. IT DID NOT SPECIFY WHETHER THE NSC WOULD HAVE ANY REAL POWER TO IMPLEMENT ITS RECOMMENDATIONS OR WHETHER IT WOULD BE LIMITED TO MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PRESIDENT WHO WOULD THEN ACT ON THEM AS HE SAW FIT. THE DECREE DID NOT PROVIDE FOR ANY STAFF OR ANY OTHER RESOURCES FOR THE NSC. 8. THE NSC MET FOR THE FIRST TIME ON NOVEMBER 26, 1973. DURING ITS FIRST MEETING, THE NSC ELECTED VICE PRESIDENT TOLLENTINO AS ITS CHAIRMAN. IT ALSO ELECTED A “COUNCIL OF ELDERS” WHICH IS TO SERVE AS THE ADVISORY BODY TO THE NSC. THE COUNCIL IS TO BE COMPOSED OF 20 MEMBERS, INCLUDING FORMER PRESIDENTS, FORMER VICE PRESIDENTS, FORMER CHIEF JUSTICES, AND FORMER SENATE PRESIDENTS. THE COUNCIL IS TO BE CHAIRED BY FORMER PRESIDENT DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL. THE NSC ALSO APPOINTED A TASK FORCE TO STUDY THE PROBLEMS OF THE NEW SOCIETY. THE TASK FORCE IS TO BE CHAIRED BY FORMER SENATOR JOSE ROY. THE NSC ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD CREATE A “NEW SOCIETY CENTER” WHICH WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COORDINATION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES INVOLVED IN THE NEW SOCIETY PROGRAM. 9. THE NSC MET FOR THE SECOND TIME ON DECEMBER 6, 1973. DURING THIS MEETING, THE NSC ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD CREATE SEVEN COMMITTEES TO STUDY THE PROBLEMS OF THE NEW SOCIETY. THE COMMITTEES WERE TO BE CHAIRED BY MEMBERS OF THE NSC. THE COMMITTEES WERE TO STUDY THE FOLLOWING AREAS: A. ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT B. SOCIAL JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS C. EDUCATION, CULTURE, AND INFORMATION D. NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC ORDER E. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT F. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS G. GOVERNMENT REORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM 10. THE NSC MET FOR THE THIRD TIME ON DECEMBER 17, 1973. DURING THIS MEETING, THE NSC ANNOUNCED THAT IT WAS ESTABLISHING AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO COORDINATE THE WORK OF THE SEVEN COMMITTEES. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WAS TO BE CHAIRED BY VICE PRESIDENT TOLLENTINO AND WOULD CONSIST OF THE CHAIRMEN OF THE SEVEN COMMITTEES.

IN CONTRAST, THE MARCOS REGIME IS COUNTING ON ITS ABILITY TO RETAIN THE SUPPORT OF THE POPULACE BY CONTINUING TO DELIVER THE GOODS. THEY POINT TO THE INCREASINGLY SOPHISTICATED TECHNIQUES OF FOOD PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION, THE IMPROVEMENTS IN AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY, THE INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF FERTILIZER, THE CONTINUED PROGRAM OF LAND REFORM, THE IMPROVEMENTS IN INFRASTRUCTURE, THE GROWTH OF INDUSTRY, AND THE GENERAL IMPROVEMENT OF THE STANDARD OF LIVING. THEY POINT TO THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED WAGE INCREASES AND THE CONTINUED PROGRAM OF SOCIAL REFORM AS EVIDENCE OF THEIR GOOD INTENTIONS AND THEIR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE POPULAR SUPPORT. THEY ARE CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO DELIVER THE GOODS AND THAT THE PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEM. 8. THE MARCOS REGIME IS ALSO COUNTING ON ITS ABILITY TO CONTROL THE OPPOSITION. THE POLICE AND THE MILITARY ARE UNDER STRICT ORDERS TO SUPPRESS ANY ATTEMPTS AT PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS OR RALLIES. THE OPPOSITION, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS COUNTING ON THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO OVERCOME THEIR FEAR OF THE POLICE AND THE MILITARY AND TO ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH AND ASSEMBLY. THE OPPOSITION IS ALSO COUNTING ON THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UPON THEM BY THE MARCOS REGIME. THEY ARE COUNTING ON THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO BE PATIENT AND TO WAIT FOR THE TIME WHEN THEY CAN ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS AND THEIR DEMANDS FOR A FREE AND DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY. 9. THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE MARCOS REGIME AND THE OPPOSITION IS THEREFORE A CONTEST BETWEEN THE ABILITY OF THE MARCOS REGIME TO DELIVER THE GOODS AND TO CONTROL THE OPPOSITION, AND THE ABILITY OF THE OPPOSITION TO OVERCOME ITS FEAR AND TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UPON IT BY THE MARCOS REGIME. ECONOMIC 10. THE MARCOS REGIME IS COUNTING ON ITS ABILITY TO DELIVER THE GOODS TO RETAIN THE SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE. THE RECENT ECONOMIC SUCCESSES OF THE MARCOS REGIME ARE EVIDENCE OF THE ABILITY OF THE MARCOS REGIME TO DELIVER THE GOODS. THE MARCOS REGIME HAS BEEN ABLE TO INCREASE FOOD PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION, IMPROVE AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY, INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY OF FERTILIZER, IMPLEMENT LAND REFORM, IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE, AND STIMULATE INDUSTRIAL GROWTH. THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS HAVE LED TO AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE STANDARD OF LIVING FOR MANY FILIPINOS, AND THIS HAS HELPED TO RETAIN THE SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE. 11. THE MARCOS REGIME HAS ALSO ANNOUNCED PLANS TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THE STANDARD OF LIVING FOR THE FILIPINO PEOPLE. THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED WAGE INCREASES AND THE CONTINUED PROGRAM OF SOCIAL REFORM ARE EVIDENCE OF THE GOOD INTENTIONS OF THE MARCOS REGIME. THE MARCOS REGIME IS CONFIDENT THAT THESE PLANS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN MAINTAINING THE POPULAR SUPPORT FOR THE REGIME. 12. HOWEVER, THE OPPOSITION IS COUNTING ON THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UPON THEM BY THE MARCOS REGIME. THE OPPOSITION POINTS TO THE POSSIBLE DISASTROUS TYPHOON THAT MAY STRIKE THE PHILIPPINES IN 1974, THE SHORTAGE OF FERTILIZER, THE DRAMATICALLY INCREASED IMPORT BILL, THE COMPOUNDED SCALE OF INFLATION, AND THE STABILIZED OR DEPRESSED EXPORT EARNINGS. THE OPPOSITION BELIEVES THAT THESE FACTORS WILL LEAD TO ECONOMIC DISCONTENT AND THAT THIS DISCONTENT WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY VOCAL AND INTENSIVELY POLITICAL. THE OPPOSITION BELIEVES THAT THIS DISCONTENT WILL FOCUS ON THE MARCOS REGIME AND THAT THE PEOPLE WILL DEMAND CHANGE. 13. THE OPPOSITION IS ALSO COUNTING ON THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UPON THEM BY THE MARCOS REGIME. THE OPPOSITION BELIEVES THAT THE PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP IN ORDER TO ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH AND ASSEMBLY. THE OPPOSITION BELIEVES THAT THE PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO CONTINUE TO BE PATIENT AND TO WAIT FOR THE TIME WHEN THEY CAN ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS AND THEIR DEMANDS FOR A FREE AND DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY. 14. THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE MARCOS REGIME AND THE OPPOSITION IS THEREFORE A CONTEST BETWEEN THE ABILITY OF THE MARCOS REGIME TO DELIVER THE GOODS AND TO CONTROL THE OPPOSITION, AND THE ABILITY OF THE OPPOSITION TO OVERCOME ITS FEAR AND TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UPON IT BY THE MARCOS REGIME. 15. THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES IS THEREFORE A CRITICAL FACTOR IN THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE MARCOS REGIME AND THE OPPOSITION. THE ABILITY OF THE MARCOS REGIME TO DELIVER THE GOODS AND TO CONTROL THE OPPOSITION WILL BE DETERMINED IN LARGE PART BY THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES. THE ABILITY OF THE OPPOSITION TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP AND TO ASSERT ITS RIGHTS WILL ALSO BE DETERMINED IN LARGE PART BY THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES. 16. THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES IS ALSO A CRITICAL FACTOR IN THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE MARCOS REGIME AND THE OPPOSITION BECAUSE IT WILL DETERMINE THE POPULAR TOLERANCE OF THE MARCOS REGIME. IF THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES CONTINUES TO IMPROVE, THEN THE POPULAR TOLERANCE OF THE MARCOS REGIME WILL CONTINUE TO BE STRONG BY ADDRESSING THE REGION'S ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL PROBLEMS AND BY WORKING WITH THE TRADITIONAL MUSLIM LEADERS. HE BELIEVES THE TAUSUGS CAN ONLY BE HELD IN CHECK BY A STRONG MILITARY PRESENCE, AND HE IS PREPARED TO USE IT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TAUSUGS WILL NOT STAY IN THEIR PLACE, AND THE MILITARY IS NOT EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. THE RESULT IS AN APPARENT IMPASSE. 11. MARCOS HAS ALSO BEEN ENGAGED IN A PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN TO CONVINCE THE WORLD THAT THE MUSLIMS ARE BEING SUPPORTED BY FOREIGN ELEMENTS, PARTICULARLY MALAYSIA, LIBYA, AND INDOCHINA. HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN SELLING THIS LINE TO THE FILIPINO PUBLIC, BUT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE CHARGE IS TRUE. THE MUSLIMS ARE BEING SUPPORTED BY THE ARAB WORLD, BUT THIS SUPPORT IS NOT CRUCIAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE REBELLION. THE ARABS ARE INTERESTED IN THE MUSLIMS BECAUSE THEY ARE MUSLIMS, AND THEY ARE ANNOYED WITH MANILA BECAUSE IT IS NOT. THE ARABS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO MUCH FOR THE MUSLIMS BECAUSE THE PHILIPPINES HAS BEEN ABLE TO PREVENT IT, BUT THE ARABS WILL CONTINUE TO TRY, AND THEY WILL PROBABLY BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN THE FUTURE. 12. THE MILITARY IS NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY THE MUSLIM PROBLEM IS BEING HANDLED, BUT IT IS NOT IN A POSITION TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE MILITARY IS IN THE SECRET ee eee e e e ee e ee ee Ses ° ee e e ee e e e ee e ee eee e e eee e ee e ee e e e e ee ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee e e e e e e e e e SUPPLY. IN THIS CONNECTION, MARCOS HAS ALSO BEEN WORKING HARD TO IMPROVE HIS RELATIONS WITH THE SOVIET UNION. HE HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT HE IS WILLING TO TRADE WITH THE SOVIETS AND TO EXPAND BILATERAL RELATIONS IN OTHER AREAS. HE HAS ALSO TAKEN PAINS TO POINT OUT THAT THE PHILIPPINES HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THEREPUBLIC OF CHINA, AND THAT HE HAS NO INTENTIONS OF DOING SO IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 14. MARCOS’ FOREIGN POLICY HAS NOT BEEN WITHOUT ITS CRITICS. SOME OF THEM FEEL THAT HE HAS BEEN TOO OVERTLY PRO-AMERICAN IN HIS APPROACH. OTHERS FEEL THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN PRO-AMERICAN ENOUGH. STILL OTHERS FEEL THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN PRO-ANYTHING ENOUGH. IN THIS CONNECTION, HE HAS BEEN RECENTLY CRITICIZED FOR HIS RELATIVELY LOW PROFILE IN ASEAN AFFAIRS, AND FOR HIS FAILURE TO PLAY A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN THE SETTLEMENT OF THE CONFLICT IN INDOCHINA. HIS SUPPORTERS, HOWEVER, POINT OUT THAT HE HAS BEEN QUITE BUSY SOLVING HIS OWN PROBLEMS, AND THAT HE HAS BEEN TAKING A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES IN THE FIELD OF REGIONAL COOPERATION. THEY ALSO POINT OUT THAT HE HAS BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE UNITED STATES IN THE FIELD OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, AND THAT HE HAS BEEN RECEIVING A GOOD DEAL OF ASSISTANCE FROM THE UNITED STATES IN THE FORM OF ECONOMIC AND MILITARY AID. 15. IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, MARCOS’ FOREIGN POLICY MUST BE JUDGED IN TERMS OF ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN SOLVING HIS SECRET PAGE 03 MANILA 02234 03 OF 04 2700092 DOMESTIC PROBLEMS. IN THIS CONNECTION, WE BELIEVE THAT HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN ACIEVING A NUMBER OF OBJECTIVES WHICH ARE OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE UNITED STATES. IN THE FIRST PLACE, HE HAS SUCCEEDED IN MAINTAINING POLITICAL STABILITY IN THE PHILIPPINES. THIS STABILITY HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH A PERIOD OF RAPID ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CHANGE. SECONDLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN STRENGTHENING THE PHILIPPINES’ RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES. THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT UPON MIDDLE EASTERN OIL AND UPON JAPANESE TRADE AND INVESTMENT. THIRDLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN IMPROVING THE PHILIPPINES’ RELATIONS WITH ITS ASIAN NEIGHBORS. THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS INCREASINGLY COMPETITIVE WITH ITS NEIGHBORS IN THE FIELD OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE. FOURTHLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN MAINTAINING THE PHILIPPINES’ INDEPENDENT FOREIGN POLICY. THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT UPON FOREIGN TRADE AND INVESTMENT. FINALLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN IMPROVING THE PHILIPPINES’ RELATIONS WITH THE SOVIET UNION. THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT UPON THE UNITED STATES FOR ITS SECURITY. 16.

THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT UPON MIDDLE EASTERN OIL AND UPON JAPANESE TRADE AND INVESTMENT. THIRDLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL AL ISSUES ARE CURRENTLY IN A STATE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION. THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THESE ARE THE BASES, THE CURRENCY PROBLEM, AND THE ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. MARCOS SEES THESE ISSUES AS BEING IN A STATE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING HELD UP BY THE U.S. CONGRESS. 18. THE BASES. MARCOS IS WELL AWARE THAT THE PHILIPPINES HAS A GOOD THING GOING IN THE BASES. HE IS ALSO AWARE THAT THE UNITED STATES IS NOT UNMINDFUL OF THIS FACT. HE IS THEREFORE NOT WILLING TO MAKE CONCESSIONS ON THE ISSUE OF BASES WHICH WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE PHILIPPINES. IF THE UNITED STATES IS NOT PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE FACTS OF LIFE, THEN HE IS PREPARED TO TAKE THE RISK OF MOVING INTO A SITUATION WHEREBY THE UNITED STATES WILL BE FORCED TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF A MILITARY WITHDRAWAL. 19. CURRENCY. THE CURRENT SITUATION ON THE CURRENCY PROBLEM IS THAT THE PHILIPPINES HAS A DEFICIT OF ABOUT $300 MILLION. THE PHILIPPINES HAS BEEN SUPPLY UNTIL THAT HAPPY DAY WHEN IT CAN RELY ON ITS OWN ANTICIPATED DISCOVERIES. ALTHOUGH THIS EFFORT HAS NOT YET EMBRACED A BREAK IN RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL, IT HAS VERY FEW ETHICAL LIMITS, AND IS CRASSLY CALCULATED ON SELF-SERVING INTERESTS. IT MEANS, CONSEQUENTLY, THAT IN INTERNATIONAL DUTIES OR OTHER OCCASIONS WHERE A RELATIVELY INCONSEQUENTIAL"" GESTURE TO THE ARABS CAN SE MADE AT NO IMMEDIATE AND DIRECT COSTS TO THE PHILIPPINES, IT WILL BE MADE, AND NO EXCUSES OF PRINCIPLE WILL BE OFFERED. IN ADDITION TO THIS LOOSENING OF ITS TRADITIONAL DIPLOMATIC TIES, THE PHILIPPINES CAN BE EXPECTED TO MOVE, WITH RATHER GLACIAL PACE, TOWARDS A MORE ""EQUILIBRANT"" STANCE IN ITS RELATIONS WITH THE GREAT POWERS. THE ACCUSTOMED PROBLEM OF SEEKING A STATUS OF EQUILIBRIUM BETWEEN JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES WITH BE REPLICATED BY EFFORTS TO OBTAIN SOME RECOGNIZED STATUS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE SOVIET UNION AND CHINA. THE SOVIETS, AS PART OF THEIR BREZHNEV DOCTRINE, ARE PURSUING THE PHILIPPINES, AND HAVE USED THE DEVICE OF A PROFFERRED COMMERCIAL TREATY TO SEEK AN OPENING WEDGE FOR A DIPLOMATIC AND ECONOMIC REPRESENTATION HERE. ALTHOUGH THE PHILIPPINES HAS CONCLUDED FULL DIPLOMATIC EXCHANGES WITH YUGOSLAVIA, POLAND, HUNGARY, CZECHOSLOVAKIA, EAST GERMANY, ROMANIA, BULGARIA, AND OUTER MONGOLIA, IT HAS KEPT THE SOVIETS AT ARMS' LENGTH. IN ADOPTING THIS POSTURE, MARCOS IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THE INDELICACY WHICH WOULD BE INVOLVED IF HE WERE TO AGREE TO RELATIONS WITH MOSCOW PRIOR TO A PARALLEL ARRANGEMENT WITH PEKING. HE HAS, CONSEQUENTLY, BEEN ACTIVE IN A NUMBER OF WAYS IN PURSUIT OF PEKING. BUT THE CHINESE, WHILE SENDING A TRADE MISSION AND INVITING A BASKET- BALL TEAM, HAVE BEEN RELUCTANT TO GIVE THEIR ENDORSEMENT OFFICIALLY AND FORMALLY TO THE NEW SOCIETY AND THE SUPPRESSION OF ""MAOIST"" GUERRILLAS. 15. THEY MUST BE TEMPTED, HOWEVER, BY THE PROSPECT THAT DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN PEKING AND MANILA WOULD FURTHER ISOLATE TAIPEI. THERE SEEMS LITTLE QUESTION THAT MARCOS WOULD BE PREPARED TO JETTISON HIS RELATIONS WITH TAIPEI IN DUE COURSE IF HE COULD REACH SATISFACTORY UNDERSTANDINGS WITH PEKING. IN HIS MIND, THESE UNDER- STANDINGS RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE STATUS OF THE OVERSEAS CHINESE IN THE PHILIPPINES. ON THIS ACCOUNT, MARCOS WILL BE WATCHING VERY CAREFULLY WHAT SORT OF DEAL THE MALAYSIANS CAN WORK OUT ON THIS TOUCHY SUBJECT. BUT, BEYOND THAT, HE WILL ALSO HOPE FOR ASSURANCES THAT PEKING WILL REFRAIN FROM SUPPORTING THE ""MAOIST"" GUERRILLAS, AND WILLING TO REFRAIN FROM PRESSING CLAIMS TO ""FREEDOMLAND"" IN THE SPRATLY ISLAND GROUP WHICH BORDERS CLOSELY ON PALAWAN AND WHICH MAY BE LOCATED ASTRIDE THE OFFSHORE OILFIELDS OF SUCH KEY INTEREST TO THE PHILIPPINE ECONOMY. 16. US-PHILIPPINE RELATIONS. THIS GENERAL LOOSENING UP OF THE TRADITIONAL PATTERN OF PHILIPPINE FOREIGN POLICY AND THE EFFORTS TO DEVELOP AN ASEAN IDENTITY IN AN ""EQUIDISTANT"" WORLD ARE, TO MARCOS, THE LOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE NIXON DOCTRINE. IN MAKING THE MOVES TO SATISFY THESE CONSEQUENCES, MARCOS IN NO WAY WISHES TO WEAKEN HIS RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES OR FALL AWAY FROM A GENERAL ""PRO-AMERICAN"" PATTERN. IN FACT, HE BELIEVES THAT, IN DOMESTIC POLITICAL TERMS, HIS GREATEST VULNERABILITY WOULD DEVELOP IF HE WERE PUBLICLY SEEN TO DROP FROM THE BENEFIT OF FAVOR OF THE UNITED STATES. HE THEREFORE COMPORTS HIMSELF IN SUCH A WAY AS TO GIVE NO OFFENSE TO THE UNITED STATES AND PORTRAYS HIMSELF TO HIS CITIZENRY AS BEING ON VERY CLOSE TERMS WITH WASHINGTON. 17. THIS SITUATION MEANS THAT, IN GENERAL, U.S.- PHILIPPINE RELATIONS ARE EXCELLENT. MARCOS WISHES TO AVOID ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH WILL CAST A SHADOW ON THAT EXCELLENCE. HE DOES, HOWEVER, FACE THE FACT THAT A NUMBER OF BILATERAL ISSUES ARE CURRENTLY IN A STATE OF ON WHICH OUR BASES ARE LOCATED. IN ADDITION, MARCOS WILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE PREPARED TO DO TO HELP THE PHILIPPINES IN THE EVENT OF A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL CRISIS IN WHICH THE PHILIPPINES IS NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVEO. IN THIS CONNECTION, MARCOS IS LIKELY TO BE INTERESTED IN THE KIND OF U.S. ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE WHICH WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO THE PHILIPPINES IN SUCH A SITUATION. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT HE WILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF SECRET PAGE 03 MANILA 02234 04 OF 04 2702542 MILITARY ASSISTANCE WE WOULD BE PREPARED TO PROVIDE IN THE EVENT OF A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL CRISIS. 20. IN THE FACE OF THE PRESENT FILIPINO ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE U.S. BASES, IT IS EASY TO SEE WHY THE FILIPINOS ARE RELUCTANT TO NEGOTIATE WITH US ON ECONOMIC MATTERS. THEY ARE, IN FACT, IN A STRONG POSITION. THEY KNOW THAT, IN THE ABSENCE OF CONGRESSIONAL ACTION, WE ARE UNABLE TO OFFER THEM ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL WHICH WOULD INDUCE THEM TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS WHICH ARE NECESSARY FOR THE CONTINUING HEALTH OF OUR ECONOMIC RELATIONS. THEY ALSO KNOW THAT, IN THE ABSENCE OF AGREEMENT ON ECONOMIC MATTERS, THERE IS LITTLE LIKELIHOOD THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO REACH AGREEMENT ON MILITARY MATTERS. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT, IN THE PRESENT POLITICAL CLIMATE, THE U.S. IS UNLIKELY TO TAKE ANY STEPS WHICH WOULD ENABLE US TO PROVIDE THEM WITH ANY KIND OF GUARANTEE CONCERNING THE FUTURE OF THE U.S. BASES IN THE PHILIPPINES. IN SHORT, THEY ARE IN A POSITION TO PLAY A WAITING GAME AND TO BIDE THEIR TIME UNTIL THE U.S. IS IN A BETTER POSITION TO NEGOTIATE WITH THEM. 21. IN THE MEANTIME, WE WILL BE IN A POSITION WHERE WE WILL HAVE TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FILIPINOS MAY DECIDE TO TAKE ACTION WHICH WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR INTERESTS HERE. IN THIS CONNECTION, WE MUST BE AWARE THAT THE FILIPINOS ARE VERY CONSCIOUS OF THE FACT THAT THE U.S. IS IN A WEAK POSITION INTERNATIONALLY. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS FACING A PERIOD OF ECONOMIC DIFFICULTY AND THAT CONGRESSIONAL ACTION ON TRADE REFORM AND SUGAR QUOTA LEGISLATION IS LIKELY TO BE DELAYED FOR SOME TIME. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS IN THE PROCESS OF REASSESSING ITS FOREIGN POLICY AND THAT THIS REASSESSMENT IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN OUR PREVIOUS COMMITMENTS. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS FACING A PERIOD OF POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY AND THAT THE SECRET PAGE 04 MANILA 02234 04 OF 04 2702542 OUTCOME OF THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS COULD RESULT IN A CHANGE IN THE U.S. ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE PHILIPPINES. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS IN THE PROCESS OF WITHDRAWING FROM VIETNAM AND THAT THIS WITHDRAWAL WILL RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN U.S. MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE PHILIPPINES. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS CONSIDERING THE POSSIBILITY OF WITHDRAWING FROM KOREA AND THAT THIS WITHDRAWAL WOULD HAVE A SIMILAR EFFECT ON THE U.S. MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE PHILIPPINES. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS IN THE PROCESS OF REASSESSING ITS ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE U.S.S.R. AND THAT THIS REASSESSMENT COULD RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN OUR PREVIOUS COMMITMENTS TO THE PHILIPPINES. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS IN THE PROCESS OF REASSESSING ITS ATTITUDE TOWARDS CHINA AND THAT THIS REASSESSMENT COULD RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN OUR PREVIOUS COMMITMENTS TO THE PHILIPPINES. IN SHORT, THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS IN A WEAK POSITION AND THAT THIS WEAKNESS COULD RESULT IN AN ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE PHILIPPINES WHICH WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THEIR INTERESTS. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS IN A POSITION WHERE IT IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH ANY KIND OF GUARANTEE CONCERNING THE FUTURE OF THE U.S. BASES IN THE PHILIPPINES. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS IN A POSITION WHERE IT IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH ANY KIND OF GUARANTEE CONCERNING THE FUTURE OF THEIR ECONOMIC RELATIONS WITH THE U.S. IN SHORT, THEY ARE AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS IN A WEAK POSITION AND THAT THIS WEAKNESS COULD RESULT IN AN ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE PHILIPPINES WHICH WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THEIR INTERESTS. 22. IN THE FACE OF THIS WEAKNESS, WE MUST BE PREPARED TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FILIPINOS MAY DECIDE TO TAKE ACTION WHICH WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR INTERESTS HERE. IN THIS CONNECTION, WE MUST BE PREPARED TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FILIPINOS MAY DECIDE TO TAKE ACTION WHICH WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR INTERESTS HERE. IN THIS CONNECTION, WE MUST BE PREPARED TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FILIPINOS MAY DECIDE TO TAKE ACTION WHICH WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR SECRET PAGE 05 MANILA 02234 04 OF 04 2702542 INTERESTS HERE. IN THIS CONNECTION, WE MUST BE PREPARED TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FILIPINOS MAY DECIDE TO TAKE ACTION WHICH WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR INTERESTS HERE. IN THIS CONNECTION, WE MUST BE PREPARED TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FILIPINOS MAY DECIDE TO TAKE ACTION WHICH WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR INTERESTS HERE. IN THIS CONNECTION, WE MUST BE PRE AND THE PERSONNEL WE EMPLOY THERE. 20. IN PRACTICE, MARCOS IS WELL DISPOSED TO THE UNITED STATES, SHARES OUR VIEW OF WORLD STRATEGY, DISTRUSTS THE CHINESE, THE SOVIETS, AND THE JAPANESE, AND FEELS MOST COMFORTABLE IN DEALING WITH US. BUT IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE FOR US TO TAKE HIM FOR GRANTED. OUR RELATIONS WILL REQUIRE CAREFUL CULTIVATION, ALWAYS MADE MORE DIFFICULT BY THE FACT THAT THE TYPE OF GOVERNMENT MARCOS HEADS IS NOT THE MOST POPULAR FORM IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF MOST AMERICANS, OR FOR THAT MATTER, IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF MOST PEOPLE.",Confidential,DISC_Security,"ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee THE CONSTITUTION. HE ALSO WANTED TO QUIET THE CONSTANT CRITICISM FROM THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, WHICH HE CONTINUES TO VIEW AS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS OPPONENT. 4. MARCOS’ FIRST MOVE WAS TO CREATE A “NEW SOCIETY” COMMISSION (NSC) TO STUDY THE PROBLEMS OF THE COUNTRY AND TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THEIR SOLUTION. HE ANNOUNCED THAT THE NSC WOULD BE A PERMANENT BODY, CONSISTING OF REPRESENTATIVES OF VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE NSC WOULD HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CALL ON ANY AND ALL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES FOR INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS TASKS. THE NSC WAS TO BE CHAIRMANED BY THE VICE PRESIDENT, ARTURO TOLLENTINO, WHO IS CONSIDERED TO BE A LIBERAL AND A SUPPORTER OF THE CHURCH. THE COMMISSION WAS TO BE ASSISTED BY TWO “CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEES” - ONE TO BE COMPOSED OF MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH AND THE OTHER OF MEMBERS OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. 5. THE NSC WAS CREATED BY PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 86, ISSUED ON NOVEMBER 9, 1973. THE DECREE ANNOUNCED THAT THE NSC WOULD BE THE “POLICY- FORMULATING AND ADVISORY BODY OF THE PRESIDENT ON MATTERS RELATING TO THE NEW SOCIETY PROGRAM.” IT WAS TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PRESIDENT ON THE FORMULATION OF POLICIES, PROGRAMS, AND PROJECTS OF THE NEW SOCIETY. IT WAS ALSO TO STUDY AND ANALYZE THE PROBLEMS OF THE NEW SOCIETY AND TO RECOMMEND SOLUTIONS TO THE PRESIDENT. THE DECREE [NDICATED THAT THE NSC WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE “COORDINATION AND INTEGRATION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE VARIOUS AGENCIES OF GOVERNMENT RELATING TO THE NEW SOCIETY PROGRAM.” 6. THE NSC WAS TO BE COMPOSED OF THE VICE PRESIDENT AS CHAIRMAN, THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY AS VICE- CHAIRMAN, AND A MAXIMUM OF 30 OTHER MEMBERS. THE OTHER MEMBERS WERE TO BE APPOINTED BY THE PRESIDENT AND WERE TO BE CHOSEN FROM AMONG REPRESENTATIVES OF THE VARIOUS SECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE DECREE STATED THAT THE PRESIDENT WOULD APPOINT THE MEMBERS “AFTER CONSULTATION WITH THE VICE PRESIDENT AND THE MEMBERS OF THE NEW SOCIETY COMMISSION.” THE DECREE ALSO PROVIDED THAT THE NSC COULD ESTABLISH COMMITTEES AND SUBCOMMITTEES AS IT DEEMED NECESSARY.

THE DECREE WAS SILENT ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE NSC TO THE REGULAR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY. IT DID NOT INDICATE WHETHER THE NSC WOULD OPERATE THROUGH THE EXISTING GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE OR WOULD BE AN INDEPENDENT BODY. IT DID NOT SPECIFY WHETHER THE NSC WOULD HAVE ANY REAL POWER TO IMPLEMENT ITS RECOMMENDATIONS OR WHETHER IT WOULD BE LIMITED TO MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE PRESIDENT WHO WOULD THEN ACT ON THEM AS HE SAW FIT. THE DECREE DID NOT PROVIDE FOR ANY STAFF OR ANY OTHER RESOURCES FOR THE NSC. 8. THE NSC MET FOR THE FIRST TIME ON NOVEMBER 26, 1973. DURING ITS FIRST MEETING, THE NSC ELECTED VICE PRESIDENT TOLLENTINO AS ITS CHAIRMAN. IT ALSO ELECTED A “COUNCIL OF ELDERS” WHICH IS TO SERVE AS THE ADVISORY BODY TO THE NSC. THE COUNCIL IS TO BE COMPOSED OF 20 MEMBERS, INCLUDING FORMER PRESIDENTS, FORMER VICE PRESIDENTS, FORMER CHIEF JUSTICES, AND FORMER SENATE PRESIDENTS. THE COUNCIL IS TO BE CHAIRED BY FORMER PRESIDENT DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL. THE NSC ALSO APPOINTED A TASK FORCE TO STUDY THE PROBLEMS OF THE NEW SOCIETY. THE TASK FORCE IS TO BE CHAIRED BY FORMER SENATOR JOSE ROY. THE NSC ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD CREATE A “NEW SOCIETY CENTER” WHICH WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COORDINATION OF THE ACTIVITIES OF THE DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES INVOLVED IN THE NEW SOCIETY PROGRAM. 9. THE NSC MET FOR THE SECOND TIME ON DECEMBER 6, 1973. DURING THIS MEETING, THE NSC ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD CREATE SEVEN COMMITTEES TO STUDY THE PROBLEMS OF THE NEW SOCIETY. THE COMMITTEES WERE TO BE CHAIRED BY MEMBERS OF THE NSC. THE COMMITTEES WERE TO STUDY THE FOLLOWING AREAS: A. ECONOMIC GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT B. SOCIAL JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS C. EDUCATION, CULTURE, AND INFORMATION D. NATIONAL SECURITY AND PUBLIC ORDER E. REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT F. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS G. GOVERNMENT REORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM 10. THE NSC MET FOR THE THIRD TIME ON DECEMBER 17, 1973. DURING THIS MEETING, THE NSC ANNOUNCED THAT IT WAS ESTABLISHING AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO COORDINATE THE WORK OF THE SEVEN COMMITTEES. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WAS TO BE CHAIRED BY VICE PRESIDENT TOLLENTINO AND WOULD CONSIST OF THE CHAIRMEN OF THE SEVEN COMMITTEES.

IN CONTRAST, THE MARCOS REGIME IS COUNTING ON ITS ABILITY TO RETAIN THE SUPPORT OF THE POPULACE BY CONTINUING TO DELIVER THE GOODS. THEY POINT TO THE INCREASINGLY SOPHISTICATED TECHNIQUES OF FOOD PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION, THE IMPROVEMENTS IN AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY, THE INCREASED AVAILABILITY OF FERTILIZER, THE CONTINUED PROGRAM OF LAND REFORM, THE IMPROVEMENTS IN INFRASTRUCTURE, THE GROWTH OF INDUSTRY, AND THE GENERAL IMPROVEMENT OF THE STANDARD OF LIVING. THEY POINT TO THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED WAGE INCREASES AND THE CONTINUED PROGRAM OF SOCIAL REFORM AS EVIDENCE OF THEIR GOOD INTENTIONS AND THEIR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE POPULAR SUPPORT. THEY ARE CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO DELIVER THE GOODS AND THAT THE PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEM. 8. THE MARCOS REGIME IS ALSO COUNTING ON ITS ABILITY TO CONTROL THE OPPOSITION. THE POLICE AND THE MILITARY ARE UNDER STRICT ORDERS TO SUPPRESS ANY ATTEMPTS AT PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS OR RALLIES. THE OPPOSITION, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS COUNTING ON THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO OVERCOME THEIR FEAR OF THE POLICE AND THE MILITARY AND TO ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH AND ASSEMBLY. THE OPPOSITION IS ALSO COUNTING ON THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UPON THEM BY THE MARCOS REGIME. THEY ARE COUNTING ON THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO CONTINUE TO BE PATIENT AND TO WAIT FOR THE TIME WHEN THEY CAN ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS AND THEIR DEMANDS FOR A FREE AND DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY. 9. THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE MARCOS REGIME AND THE OPPOSITION IS THEREFORE A CONTEST BETWEEN THE ABILITY OF THE MARCOS REGIME TO DELIVER THE GOODS AND TO CONTROL THE OPPOSITION, AND THE ABILITY OF THE OPPOSITION TO OVERCOME ITS FEAR AND TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UPON IT BY THE MARCOS REGIME. ECONOMIC 10. THE MARCOS REGIME IS COUNTING ON ITS ABILITY TO DELIVER THE GOODS TO RETAIN THE SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE. THE RECENT ECONOMIC SUCCESSES OF THE MARCOS REGIME ARE EVIDENCE OF THE ABILITY OF THE MARCOS REGIME TO DELIVER THE GOODS. THE MARCOS REGIME HAS BEEN ABLE TO INCREASE FOOD PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION, IMPROVE AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY, INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY OF FERTILIZER, IMPLEMENT LAND REFORM, IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE, AND STIMULATE INDUSTRIAL GROWTH. THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS HAVE LED TO AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE STANDARD OF LIVING FOR MANY FILIPINOS, AND THIS HAS HELPED TO RETAIN THE SUPPORT OF THE PEOPLE. 11. THE MARCOS REGIME HAS ALSO ANNOUNCED PLANS TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THE STANDARD OF LIVING FOR THE FILIPINO PEOPLE. THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED WAGE INCREASES AND THE CONTINUED PROGRAM OF SOCIAL REFORM ARE EVIDENCE OF THE GOOD INTENTIONS OF THE MARCOS REGIME. THE MARCOS REGIME IS CONFIDENT THAT THESE PLANS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN MAINTAINING THE POPULAR SUPPORT FOR THE REGIME. 12. HOWEVER, THE OPPOSITION IS COUNTING ON THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UPON THEM BY THE MARCOS REGIME. THE OPPOSITION POINTS TO THE POSSIBLE DISASTROUS TYPHOON THAT MAY STRIKE THE PHILIPPINES IN 1974, THE SHORTAGE OF FERTILIZER, THE DRAMATICALLY INCREASED IMPORT BILL, THE COMPOUNDED SCALE OF INFLATION, AND THE STABILIZED OR DEPRESSED EXPORT EARNINGS. THE OPPOSITION BELIEVES THAT THESE FACTORS WILL LEAD TO ECONOMIC DISCONTENT AND THAT THIS DISCONTENT WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY VOCAL AND INTENSIVELY POLITICAL. THE OPPOSITION BELIEVES THAT THIS DISCONTENT WILL FOCUS ON THE MARCOS REGIME AND THAT THE PEOPLE WILL DEMAND CHANGE. 13. THE OPPOSITION IS ALSO COUNTING ON THE ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UPON THEM BY THE MARCOS REGIME. THE OPPOSITION BELIEVES THAT THE PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP IN ORDER TO ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH AND ASSEMBLY. THE OPPOSITION BELIEVES THAT THE PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO CONTINUE TO BE PATIENT AND TO WAIT FOR THE TIME WHEN THEY CAN ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS AND THEIR DEMANDS FOR A FREE AND DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY. 14. THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE MARCOS REGIME AND THE OPPOSITION IS THEREFORE A CONTEST BETWEEN THE ABILITY OF THE MARCOS REGIME TO DELIVER THE GOODS AND TO CONTROL THE OPPOSITION, AND THE ABILITY OF THE OPPOSITION TO OVERCOME ITS FEAR AND TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP THAT MAY BE IMPOSED UPON IT BY THE MARCOS REGIME. 15. THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES IS THEREFORE A CRITICAL FACTOR IN THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE MARCOS REGIME AND THE OPPOSITION. THE ABILITY OF THE MARCOS REGIME TO DELIVER THE GOODS AND TO CONTROL THE OPPOSITION WILL BE DETERMINED IN LARGE PART BY THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES. THE ABILITY OF THE OPPOSITION TO ENDURE ANY HARDSHIP AND TO ASSERT ITS RIGHTS WILL ALSO BE DETERMINED IN LARGE PART BY THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES. 16. THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES IS ALSO A CRITICAL FACTOR IN THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE MARCOS REGIME AND THE OPPOSITION BECAUSE IT WILL DETERMINE THE POPULAR TOLERANCE OF THE MARCOS REGIME. IF THE ECONOMIC SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES CONTINUES TO IMPROVE, THEN THE POPULAR TOLERANCE OF THE MARCOS REGIME WILL CONTINUE TO BE STRONG BY ADDRESSING THE REGION'S ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL PROBLEMS AND BY WORKING WITH THE TRADITIONAL MUSLIM LEADERS. HE BELIEVES THE TAUSUGS CAN ONLY BE HELD IN CHECK BY A STRONG MILITARY PRESENCE, AND HE IS PREPARED TO USE IT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TAUSUGS WILL NOT STAY IN THEIR PLACE, AND THE MILITARY IS NOT EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM. THE RESULT IS AN APPARENT IMPASSE. 11. MARCOS HAS ALSO BEEN ENGAGED IN A PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN TO CONVINCE THE WORLD THAT THE MUSLIMS ARE BEING SUPPORTED BY FOREIGN ELEMENTS, PARTICULARLY MALAYSIA, LIBYA, AND INDOCHINA. HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN SELLING THIS LINE TO THE FILIPINO PUBLIC, BUT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE CHARGE IS TRUE. THE MUSLIMS ARE BEING SUPPORTED BY THE ARAB WORLD, BUT THIS SUPPORT IS NOT CRUCIAL TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE REBELLION. THE ARABS ARE INTERESTED IN THE MUSLIMS BECAUSE THEY ARE MUSLIMS, AND THEY ARE ANNOYED WITH MANILA BECAUSE IT IS NOT. THE ARABS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO MUCH FOR THE MUSLIMS BECAUSE THE PHILIPPINES HAS BEEN ABLE TO PREVENT IT, BUT THE ARABS WILL CONTINUE TO TRY, AND THEY WILL PROBABLY BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN THE FUTURE. 12. THE MILITARY IS NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY THE MUSLIM PROBLEM IS BEING HANDLED, BUT IT IS NOT IN A POSITION TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE MILITARY IS IN THE ee eee e e e ee e ee ee Ses ° ee e e ee e e e ee e ee eee e e eee e ee e ee e e e e ee ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e ee e e e e e e e e e SUPPLY. IN THIS CONNECTION, MARCOS HAS ALSO BEEN WORKING HARD TO IMPROVE HIS RELATIONS WITH THE SOVIET UNION. HE HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT HE IS WILLING TO TRADE WITH THE SOVIETS AND TO EXPAND BILATERAL RELATIONS IN OTHER AREAS. HE HAS ALSO TAKEN PAINS TO POINT OUT THAT THE PHILIPPINES HAS NOT RECOGNIZED THEREPUBLIC OF CHINA, AND THAT HE HAS NO INTENTIONS OF DOING SO IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 14. MARCOS’ FOREIGN POLICY HAS NOT BEEN WITHOUT ITS CRITICS. SOME OF THEM FEEL THAT HE HAS BEEN TOO OVERTLY PRO-AMERICAN IN HIS APPROACH. OTHERS FEEL THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN PRO-AMERICAN ENOUGH. STILL OTHERS FEEL THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN PRO-ANYTHING ENOUGH. IN THIS CONNECTION, HE HAS BEEN RECENTLY CRITICIZED FOR HIS RELATIVELY LOW PROFILE IN ASEAN AFFAIRS, AND FOR HIS FAILURE TO PLAY A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN THE SETTLEMENT OF THE CONFLICT IN INDOCHINA. HIS SUPPORTERS, HOWEVER, POINT OUT THAT HE HAS BEEN QUITE BUSY SOLVING HIS OWN PROBLEMS, AND THAT HE HAS BEEN TAKING A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES IN THE FIELD OF REGIONAL COOPERATION. THEY ALSO POINT OUT THAT HE HAS BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE UNITED STATES IN THE FIELD OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, AND THAT HE HAS BEEN RECEIVING A GOOD DEAL OF ASSISTANCE FROM THE UNITED STATES IN THE FORM OF ECONOMIC AND MILITARY AID. 15. IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, MARCOS’ FOREIGN POLICY MUST BE JUDGED IN TERMS OF ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN SOLVING HIS PAGE 03 MANILA 02234 03 OF 04 2700092 DOMESTIC PROBLEMS. IN THIS CONNECTION, WE BELIEVE THAT HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN ACIEVING A NUMBER OF OBJECTIVES WHICH ARE OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE UNITED STATES. IN THE FIRST PLACE, HE HAS SUCCEEDED IN MAINTAINING POLITICAL STABILITY IN THE PHILIPPINES. THIS STABILITY HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH A PERIOD OF RAPID ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CHANGE. SECONDLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN STRENGTHENING THE PHILIPPINES’ RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES. THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT UPON MIDDLE EASTERN OIL AND UPON JAPANESE TRADE AND INVESTMENT. THIRDLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN IMPROVING THE PHILIPPINES’ RELATIONS WITH ITS ASIAN NEIGHBORS. THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS INCREASINGLY COMPETITIVE WITH ITS NEIGHBORS IN THE FIELD OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE. FOURTHLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN MAINTAINING THE PHILIPPINES’ INDEPENDENT FOREIGN POLICY. THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT UPON FOREIGN TRADE AND INVESTMENT. FINALLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN IMPROVING THE PHILIPPINES’ RELATIONS WITH THE SOVIET UNION. THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT UPON THE UNITED STATES FOR ITS SECURITY. 16. IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, MARCOS’ FOREIGN POLICY MUST BE JUDGED IN TERMS OF ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN SOLVING HIS DOMESTIC PROBLEMS.

IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, MARCOS’ FOREIGN POLICY MUST BE JUDGED IN TERMS OF ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN SOLVING HIS DOMESTIC PROBLEMS. IN THIS CONNECTION, WE BELIEVE THAT HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN ACIEVING A NUMBER OF OBJECTIVES WHICH ARE OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE UNITED STATES. IN THE FIRST PLACE, HE HAS SUCCEEDED IN MAINTAINING POLITICAL STABILITY IN THE PHILIPPINES. THIS STABILITY HAS BEEN ACHIEVED IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH A PERIOD OF RAPID ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CHANGE. SECONDLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN STRENGTHENING THE PHILIPPINES’ RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES. THIS HAS BEEN DONE IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS INCREASINGLY DEPENDENT UPON MIDDLE EASTERN OIL AND UPON JAPANESE TRADE AND INVESTMENT. THIRDLY, HE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL AL ISSUES ARE CURRENTLY IN A STATE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION. THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THESE ARE THE BASES, THE CURRENCY PROBLEM, AND THE ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. MARCOS SEES THESE ISSUES AS BEING IN A STATE OF SUSPENDED ANIMATION BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING HELD UP BY THE U.S. CONGRESS. 18. THE BASES. MARCOS IS WELL AWARE THAT THE PHILIPPINES HAS A GOOD THING GOING IN THE BASES. HE IS ALSO AWARE THAT THE UNITED STATES IS NOT UNMINDFUL OF THIS FACT. HE IS THEREFORE NOT WILLING TO MAKE CONCESSIONS ON THE ISSUE OF BASES WHICH WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE PHILIPPINES. IF THE UNITED STATES IS NOT PREPARED TO ACCEPT THE FACTS OF LIFE, THEN HE IS PREPARED TO TAKE THE RISK OF MOVING INTO A SITUATION WHEREBY THE UNITED STATES WILL BE FORCED TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF A MILITARY WITHDRAWAL. 19. CURRENCY. THE CURRENT SITUATION ON THE CURRENCY PROBLEM IS THAT THE PHILIPPINES HAS A DEFICIT OF ABOUT $300 MILLION. THE PHILIPPINES HAS BEEN SUPPLY UNTIL THAT HAPPY DAY WHEN IT CAN RELY ON ITS OWN ANTICIPATED DISCOVERIES. ALTHOUGH THIS EFFORT HAS NOT YET EMBRACED A BREAK IN RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL, IT HAS VERY FEW ETHICAL LIMITS, AND IS CRASSLY CALCULATED ON SELF-SERVING INTERESTS. IT MEANS, CONSEQUENTLY, THAT IN INTERNATIONAL DUTIES OR OTHER OCCASIONS WHERE A RELATIVELY INCONSEQUENTIAL"" GESTURE TO THE ARABS CAN SE MADE AT NO IMMEDIATE AND DIRECT COSTS TO THE PHILIPPINES, IT WILL BE MADE, AND NO EXCUSES OF PRINCIPLE WILL BE OFFERED. IN ADDITION TO THIS LOOSENING OF ITS TRADITIONAL DIPLOMATIC TIES, THE PHILIPPINES CAN BE EXPECTED TO MOVE, WITH RATHER GLACIAL PACE, TOWARDS A MORE ""EQUILIBRANT"" STANCE IN ITS RELATIONS WITH THE GREAT POWERS. THE ACCUSTOMED PROBLEM OF SEEKING A STATUS OF EQUILIBRIUM BETWEEN JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES WITH BE REPLICATED BY EFFORTS TO OBTAIN SOME RECOGNIZED STATUS IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE SOVIET UNION AND CHINA. THE SOVIETS, AS PART OF THEIR BREZHNEV DOCTRINE, ARE PURSUING THE PHILIPPINES, AND HAVE USED THE DEVICE OF A PROFFERRED COMMERCIAL TREATY TO SEEK AN OPENING WEDGE FOR A DIPLOMATIC AND ECONOMIC REPRESENTATION HERE. ALTHOUGH THE PHILIPPINES HAS CONCLUDED FULL DIPLOMATIC EXCHANGES WITH YUGOSLAVIA, POLAND, HUNGARY, CZECHOSLOVAKIA, EAST GERMANY, ROMANIA, BULGARIA, AND OUTER MONGOLIA, IT HAS KEPT THE SOVIETS AT ARMS' LENGTH. IN ADOPTING THIS POSTURE, MARCOS IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THE INDELICACY WHICH WOULD BE INVOLVED IF HE WERE TO AGREE TO RELATIONS WITH MOSCOW PRIOR TO A PARALLEL ARRANGEMENT WITH PEKING. HE HAS, CONSEQUENTLY, BEEN ACTIVE IN A NUMBER OF WAYS IN PURSUIT OF PEKING. BUT THE CHINESE, WHILE SENDING A TRADE MISSION AND INVITING A BASKET- BALL TEAM, HAVE BEEN RELUCTANT TO GIVE THEIR ENDORSEMENT OFFICIALLY AND FORMALLY TO THE NEW SOCIETY AND THE SUPPRESSION OF ""MAOIST"" GUERRILLAS. 15. THEY MUST BE TEMPTED, HOWEVER, BY THE PROSPECT THAT DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN PEKING AND MANILA WOULD FURTHER ISOLATE TAIPEI. THERE SEEMS LITTLE QUESTION THAT MARCOS WOULD BE PREPARED TO JETTISON HIS RELATIONS WITH TAIPEI IN DUE COURSE IF HE COULD REACH SATISFACTORY UNDERSTANDINGS WITH PEKING. IN HIS MIND, THESE UNDER- STANDINGS RELATE PRIMARILY TO THE STATUS OF THE OVERSEAS CHINESE IN THE PHILIPPINES. ON THIS ACCOUNT, MARCOS WILL BE WATCHING VERY CAREFULLY WHAT SORT OF DEAL THE MALAYSIANS CAN WORK OUT ON THIS TOUCHY SUBJECT. BUT, BEYOND THAT, HE WILL ALSO HOPE FOR ASSURANCES THAT PEKING WILL REFRAIN FROM SUPPORTING THE ""MAOIST"" GUERRILLAS, AND WILLING TO REFRAIN FROM PRESSING CLAIMS TO ""FREEDOMLAND"" IN THE SPRATLY ISLAND GROUP WHICH BORDERS CLOSELY ON PALAWAN AND WHICH MAY BE LOCATED ASTRIDE THE OFFSHORE OILFIELDS OF SUCH KEY INTEREST TO THE PHILIPPINE ECONOMY. 16. US-PHILIPPINE RELATIONS. THIS GENERAL LOOSENING UP OF THE TRADITIONAL PATTERN OF PHILIPPINE FOREIGN POLICY AND THE EFFORTS TO DEVELOP AN ASEAN IDENTITY IN AN ""EQUIDISTANT"" WORLD ARE, TO MARCOS, THE LOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE NIXON DOCTRINE. IN MAKING THE MOVES TO SATISFY THESE CONSEQUENCES, MARCOS IN NO WAY WISHES TO WEAKEN HIS RELATIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES OR FALL AWAY FROM A GENERAL ""PRO-AMERICAN"" PATTERN. IN FACT, HE BELIEVES THAT, IN DOMESTIC POLITICAL TERMS, HIS GREATEST VULNERABILITY WOULD DEVELOP IF HE WERE PUBLICLY SEEN TO DROP FROM THE BENEFIT OF FAVOR OF THE UNITED STATES. HE THEREFORE COMPORTS HIMSELF IN SUCH A WAY AS TO GIVE NO OFFENSE TO THE UNITED STATES AND PORTRAYS HIMSELF TO HIS CITIZENRY AS BEING ON VERY CLOSE TERMS WITH WASHINGTON. 17. THIS SITUATION MEANS THAT, IN GENERAL, U.S.- PHILIPPINE RELATIONS ARE EXCELLENT. MARCOS WISHES TO AVOID ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH WILL CAST A SHADOW ON THAT EXCELLENCE. HE DOES, HOWEVER, FACE THE FACT THAT A NUMBER OF BILATERAL ISSUES ARE CURRENTLY IN A STATE OF ON WHICH OUR BASES ARE LOCATED. IN ADDITION, MARCOS WILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE ARE PREPARED TO DO TO HELP THE PHILIPPINES IN THE EVENT OF A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL CRISIS IN WHICH THE PHILIPPINES IS NOT DIRECTLY INVOLVEO. IN THIS CONNECTION, MARCOS IS LIKELY TO BE INTERESTED IN THE KIND OF U.S. ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE WHICH WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO THE PHILIPPINES IN SUCH A SITUATION. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT HE WILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF PAGE 03 MANILA 02234 04 OF 04 2702542 MILITARY ASSISTANCE WE WOULD BE PREPARED TO PROVIDE IN THE EVENT OF A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL CRISIS. 20. IN THE FACE OF THE PRESENT FILIPINO ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE U.S. BASES, IT IS EASY TO SEE WHY THE FILIPINOS ARE RELUCTANT TO NEGOTIATE WITH US ON ECONOMIC MATTERS. THEY ARE, IN FACT, IN A STRONG POSITION. THEY KNOW THAT, IN THE ABSENCE OF CONGRESSIONAL ACTION, WE ARE UNABLE TO OFFER THEM ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL WHICH WOULD INDUCE THEM TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS WHICH ARE NECESSARY FOR THE CONTINUING HEALTH OF OUR ECONOMIC RELATIONS. THEY ALSO KNOW THAT, IN THE ABSENCE OF AGREEMENT ON ECONOMIC MATTERS, THERE IS LITTLE LIKELIHOOD THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO REACH AGREEMENT ON MILITARY MATTERS. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT, IN THE PRESENT POLITICAL CLIMATE, THE U.S. IS UNLIKELY TO TAKE ANY STEPS WHICH WOULD ENABLE US TO PROVIDE THEM WITH ANY KIND OF GUARANTEE CONCERNING THE FUTURE OF THE U.S. BASES IN THE PHILIPPINES. IN SHORT, THEY ARE IN A POSITION TO PLAY A WAITING GAME AND TO BIDE THEIR TIME UNTIL THE U.S. IS IN A BETTER POSITION TO NEGOTIATE WITH THEM. 21. IN THE MEANTIME, WE WILL BE IN A POSITION WHERE WE WILL HAVE TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE FILIPINOS MAY DECIDE TO TAKE ACTION WHICH WILL BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR INTERESTS HERE. IN THIS CONNECTION, WE MUST BE AWARE THAT THE FILIPINOS ARE VERY CONSCIOUS OF THE FACT THAT THE U.S. IS IN A WEAK POSITION INTERNATIONALLY. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS FACING A PERIOD OF ECONOMIC DIFFICULTY AND THAT CONGRESSIONAL ACTION ON TRADE REFORM AND SUGAR QUOTA LEGISLATION IS LIKELY TO BE DELAYED FOR SOME TIME. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS IN THE PROCESS OF REASSESSING ITS FOREIGN POLICY AND THAT THIS REASSESSMENT IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN OUR PREVIOUS COMMITMENTS. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS FACING A PERIOD OF POLITICAL UNCERTAINTY AND THAT THE PAGE 04 MANILA 02234 04 OF 04 2702542 OUTCOME OF THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS COULD RESULT IN A CHANGE IN THE U.S. ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE PHILIPPINES. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS IN THE PROCESS OF WITHDRAWING FROM VIETNAM AND THAT THIS WITHDRAWAL WILL RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN U.S. MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE PHILIPPINES. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS CONSIDERING THE POSSIBILITY OF WITHDRAWING FROM KOREA AND THAT THIS WITHDRAWAL WOULD HAVE A SIMILAR EFFECT ON THE U.S. MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE PHILIPPINES. THEY ARE ALSO AWARE THAT THE U.S. IS IN THE PROCESS OF REASSESSING ITS ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE U.S.S.R.

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 US-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.

The Chinese have also been using the Taiwan issue to try to extract concessions on other issues, such as arms sales to Taiwan and our relationship with Japan. The Chinese have been particularly concerned about the U.S.-Japan security treaty revision and the possibility that the Japanese might try to use this as a lever to get the U.S. to reduce its arms sales to Taiwan. We have been able to allay their concerns by pointing out that we have no intention of reducing our arms sales to Taiwan and that we will not accept any language in the treaty revision that would imply that we would do so. However, the Japanese have not yet come up with a final draft of the treaty revision and we may have to face this issue again before the end of the year.

The exchange program has proceeded approximately as agreed during your November 1973 trip, although it appears that the Chinese will not carry through on two of the agreed exchanges, and we have had to postpone a Chinese performing group because of a conflict with a long-scheduled tour by a performing group from Taiwan. The National Committee on US-China Relations is particularly concerned by what seems to be an uncooperative Chinese attitude, and there is growing evidence that the PRC will increasingly use the US-China Friendship Associations as a ""chosen instrument"" for arranging for various American groups to visit the PRC. Trade continues to grow, and may reach about a billion dollars in 1974, still imbalanced about 10 to 1 in our favor. However, there are also problems here, resulting from our controls on export of ferrous scrap, from PRC refusal to recognize officially our requirements for end-use information on items requiring export licenses, and from impurities which the Chinese have found in grain shipments. There has been no movement on the blocked assets/private claims issue since the PRC's harsh rejection in June of our last proposals. We still have occasional visa problems, although recently the Chinese gave a visa to one of our political officers in Hong Kong to visit Peking for consultation with USLO -- the first such visa in 1974. The PRC tightly controls access to USLO by Chinese who wish to apply for visas or passports. In short, while there are no critical problems, there are issues and asymmetries which are troublesome. -~- The Chinese remain as hostile to the Soviet Union as ever. But they now strongly emphasize the theme that the real Soviet threat is to the West and not to them, pointing out that 3/4 of the Soviet troops are deployed towards the West and that there are not enough on the Sino-Soviet border to present a real threat to China. There is undoubtedly some gamesmanship here since the Chinese know full well that the Soviet danger is our single greatest lever in Peking. At the same time, they may believe that we are stalled in our relations with the Soviet Union, given such factors as the less than spectacular June 1974 summit, the lack of progress in such negotiations as SALT, MBFR, and CSCE, and the challenge to detente in this country. Nevertheless, they will remain sensitive to US-Soviet cooperation and will want to know what we are up to in your October trip and President Ford's subsequent meetings. -- The Chinese were making tentative moves towards better relations with India in the wake of the Simla process, but this seems to have been cut short by the Indian nuclear test (and Pakistan's reactions) and Indian annexation of Sikkim. The Chinese continue to believe that we do not support Pakistan sufficiently, especially in military aid, and will be interested in your forthcoming trip to the Subcontinent. -~- The Chinese have welcomed U.S. diplomatic activity in the Middle East and the concurrent erosion of Soviet influence. Nevertheless, they may be beginning to wonder just how much further we will be able to carry forward this process, given the increasing intractability of the negotiating issues. -~ The Chinese have concluded a civil aviation agreement with the Japanese and continue to stress the importance of our maintaining good relations with Tokyo. They also loom as an important oil exporter to the Japanese which will give them more leverage in the Soviet-Chinese-Japanese triangle. difficulties, including the security side, which it is in their interest to recognize and help alleviate. -- Next, you would review the prospects for our relations with Moscow, including the forthcoming trips and the various negotiations. You would want to empha- size the importance of the SALT negotiations and the need for an intensive effort to reach agreement on a SALT II treaty. -- You would then want to review the other third country areas, including the Middle East and Cyprus, and preview your forthcoming trip to South Asia and Iran. You would want to stress the importance of maintaining stability and peace in these areas and the need for Chinese support in achieving this. -- Finally, you would want to review the prospects for the Cambodian Peace Conference and press the Chinese for a response to our latest suggestions on the Korean United Nations Command issue. You should be prepared for a fairly long discussion of our security commitments to Japan. The Chinese may well raise this issue and you should be prepared to respond by stating that the security treaty with Japan is a longstanding one which has contributed to the stability of the region. We do not intend to change our security commitments to Japan and we believe that the Chinese should recognize this. However, you should be prepared to discuss with the Chinese the possibility of some modifications in the security treaty as part of a general improvement in our relations with China.

DECLASSIFIED: NARA, Date 2009 TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE/NODIS 3 trying to get them to clarify their position on ""normali- zation"" and to see if there is any way to break the impasse on the Taiwan question. Our efforts have been hampered by the Chinese insistence that we must accept their public positions as the price of admission to more substantive talks. The Chinese have also been using the Taiwan issue to try to extract concessions on other issues, such as arms sales to Taiwan and our relationship with Japan. The Chinese have also been using the Taiwan issue to try to extract concessions on other issues, such as arms sales to Taiwan and our relationship with Japan. The Chinese have been particularly concerned about the U.S.-Japan security treaty revision and the possibility that the Japanese might try to use this as a lever to get the U.S. to reduce its arms sales to Taiwan. We have been able to allay their concerns by pointing out that we have no intention of reducing our arms sales to Taiwan and that we will not accept any language in the treaty revision that would imply that we would do so. However, the Japanese have not yet come up with a final draft of the treaty revision and we may have to face this issue again before the end of the year. The Chinese have also been concerned about the Japanese initiative in the U.N. to reconsider its position on the Taiwan question. The Japanese have been trying to get the Chinese to agree to a statement which would say that the Japanese would not vote for Peking's admission to the U.N. if Peking would agree to a statement which would say that the Chinese would not insist on the expulsion of Taiwan from the U.N. The Chinese have rejected this Japanese initiative and have told us that they would regard any Japanese vote for Peking's admission to the U.N. as a hostile act and would have to respond in some way.

They have also been concerned about the recent Soviet arms sales to Egypt and the Soviet naval activity in the Indian Ocean. They have been trying to get the U.S. to support their position on these issues. We have been trying to get the Chinese to be more specific about what they want us to do and to be more realistic about what we can do. We have also been trying to get the Chinese to be more forthcoming on the question of how they would respond to a Soviet attack on China. The Chinese have not been forthcoming on this issue and we may want to press them on this issue during your meeting with Chiao. —- On Southeast Asia, the Chinese have been concerned about the situation in Indochina and the U.S. role in Southeast Asia.

Common causes for having dark pigmentation under the eye are: -Iron deficiency anemia -Stress, anxiety or depression -Lack of sleep, poor sleep hygiene -Poor water intake -Smoking and alcohol -Chronic illness -Unknown causes (idiopathic).

She suffers from a cough for the past 17 days. It is nonproductive, and it gets worse when lying down. During night time, it comes as a dry hacking cough. The illness started with nasal congestion, and quickly, it became a cough. There is no rash, no changes in bowel movements or urination, or energy level. She has undergone tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy before ten months for sleep apnea, and it was successful. She gets this problem for the past six months. She does not have a fever. We used steroids before these events. Now, her cough got worsened for the past two days. We consulted a pediatrician, and she was given with Prednisone 15 mg two times a day and Augmentin. I gave steroids to her. She woke up in the night and had vomiting two times. She had a fever of 104 degrees. She also had congestion. I consulted the pediatrician. Currently, she takes Zofran 4 mg, Ibuprofen 10 mg, and Augmentin. Does she have a new viral infection? Why does her cough got worsened? Is it due to a progressive lower respiratory bacterial infection? Is it due to a drug reaction to the steroid? Hi. It is less likely to be a viral infection as the temperature is quite high. It may be a viral bug, and it can be worsened after the administration of the steroid. Do not give steroid without a prescription to the child. Do a respiratory PCR, and it helps to find the exact cause of the same. A cough may have worsened following the steroid probably, because, it can be an infectious disease to be treated by antibiotics. It may not be a drug reaction to the steroid, but possibly an overdose.

We expect that the Philippine Government will now follow through on the Board's findings to ensure that those responsible for Senator Aquino's murder are held fully accountable for this crime. A: As a result of the Agrava Board report? A: No. As our statement indicates, we expect the Government to follow through to ensure that those responsible for Senator Aquino's murder are identified and held accountable for their crime. The United States' interest in seeing justice done in this case remains strong. Q: There were reports prior to the issuance of the Agrava Report that the Board would point to Armed Forces Chief of Staff Ver as the official who ordered Aquino's assassination. Does the United States consider General Ver to be responsible for Aquino's death? A: It is up to the Philippine Government to determine who was responsible for the crime, and to punish them, no matter who they are. Q: Will the Agrava Board's finding that the Philippine military was responsible for Aquino's death have an effect on US military assistance to the Philippines? A: The Aquino assassination has already had an effect on military assistance to the Philippines. Many members of Congress have supported the shift of proposed military sales credits (FMS) to economic assistance in part as a signal that the US expects justice in the Aquino case. Military assistance is likely to remain controversial until those responsible for the assassination are identified and held accountable for their crime.

After three years, I fell in love with a girl, but then she left me. This created a check for me, so I wanted to study more to prove myself. The depression kept increasing, but I started to be more talkative.I used to see the light coming outside people faces. Also, the depression stayed there. I also experienced wondering mind. There was an episode of racing thoughts once. I had to take massive, sleeping pills to sleep. In the end, a psychiatrist diagnosed me as bipolar type 2. He put me on Seroquel, but it was not sufficient. Sometimes it took the depression off, but other times the depression was still here.My parents took me to see a psychiatrist overseas, and he also diagnosed me with bipolar. He did put me on Lithium and Abilify 10 mg. I never felt this good before. My question is, do I only have depression? And not bipolar. Lithium can help improve depression symptoms, so maybe that is the case of what is happening. If I only have depression, I should be put on antidepressants. Hello. It is good to know that you are feeling better on your current medication of Lithium and Abilify (Aripiprazole). From the information you have given, it is difficult to provide a comprehensive opinion, but it does look like you have experienced some hypomanic symptoms in addition to depressive features. That is why your doctor would have diagnosed you with bipolar 2. Often people get diagnosed with depression, and it is easy to miss bipolar 2 unless a comprehensive assessment is done. So I presume you had a thorough assessment. I will suggest discussing your queries with your doctor during your next review so that he can explain as well. Continue your medication as prescribed. Also, try to get some psychological therapy as well. In due course, when you continue to be stable, your doctor may consider decreasing the medication gradually under close supervision. It may not happen for at least a year. Avoid habits that can destabilize your mood. Avoid alcohol. It helps to exercise regularly.",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"Hello doctor,I have been experiencing mild depression since I was a child. My family problem made me extra depressed.

"Hi doctor, I had sex for the first time. After that, I did not get my periods yet. I went to a gynecologist. She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods? Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses.

There have been no meetings of the China Task Force (CTF) since the first meeting reported in my memorandum to you dated 16 May 1966. The CTF Chief, Sidney Bearman, prefers to run activities himself or through the CTF Secretariat (currently me). Mr. Bearman's activities are more directly related to substantive intelligence. He is hoping soon to get to the study of production programs within the DDI. The Secretariat currently is concerned with support activities, as well as general coordination. 2. The CTF Subcommittee on Interface with CHIVE (with representa- tives from NPIC, FMSAC, OSI, OBI, OCI, IRA and ERA of ORR and the DDI/ISS member as chairman) has received a detailed briefing on SKAN and has evaluated the system. This Subcommittee will continue to support CHIVE. Additional analyst briefings are now being planned. 3. The Coordinator for Academic Relations, John King, is pursuing the review of source materials and reports which may be releasable to the academic world. I am working closely with him in this activity. He plans to prepare a policy statement on this issue for the DDI's signature in the very near future. Much of this material will be foreign language sources, OCR/Ly will most likely have to supply or reproduce those approved for release. Mr. King is also busy in arranging for additional academic consultants and planning for the training of DDI China specialists. 4. I am continuing activities related to preparing Chinese- English dictionaries and the study of an index of JPRS reports on China for use by the academic world. The work on the dictionaries is moving satisfactorily. The question of the JPRS index hangs upon the availa- bility of a usable authority file or guide. Mr. Chandler, CIA/Ly is studying this matter. Coincidentally we may receive an assist from the Joint Committee on Contemporary China which is now also studying the establishing of an operation to undertake such an index.

FROM THE MONDAY MORNING EDITORIALS, THE YOMIURI SUGGESTED THAT JAPAN COOPERATE WITH THE U.S. GRAIN EMBARGO AGAINST THE SOVIET UNION BY PURCHASING THE SURPLUS. ""THE SOVIET MILITARY INTERVENTION IN AFGHANISTAN HAS MADE US REALIZE THE NEED FOR STRENGTHENING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY. ONE WAY TO ACHIEVE THAT IS BY STOCKPILING FOOD FOR EMERGENCIES."" THE EDITORIAL CONTINUED: ""PRESIDENT CARTER HAS PUT AN EMBARGO ON U.S. GRAIN SALES TO THE SOVIET UNION AS PART OF ITS SANCTIONS AGAINST THE SOVIETS. THIS DEVELOPMENT GIVES US A CHANCE TO SET IN MOTION OUR FOOD STOCKPILING STRATEGY BOTH FROM A MEDIUM AND LONG-RANGE VIEW. THE PRIVATE POLICY PLANNING FORUM HAS COME UP WITH A BOLD PROPOSAL THAT JAPAN BUY UP ALL THE U.S. GRAIN WITHHELD FROM THE SOVIETS, BUT ON THE CONDITION THAT THE GRAIN INVOLVED, ABOUT 17 MILLION TONS VALUED AT SOME $2 BILLION, BE STORED IN THE U.S."" ""ADMITTING THAT THERE ARE MANY PROBLEMS THAT MUST BE SOLVED BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THE PROPOSAL, THE POLICY RESEARCH GROUP'S BASIC VIEWPOINT IS THE SAME AS OURS CONCERNING FOOD STOCKPILING."" ""JAPAN SHOULD MAKE USE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER SOLIDIFY ITS TIES WITH THE U.S. AND ENHANCE ITS STATUS IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. SUCH AN ACTION WILL ALSO SERVE TO EXPRESS JAPAN'S 'DISPLEASURE' TO MOSCOW IN CONCRETE TERMS."" THE MAINICHI SAID: ""THERE IS A SMALL RAY OF HOPE IN THE IRANIAN HOSTAGE PROBLEM WHICH HAS ENTERED A NEW STAGE AS A RESULT OF THE SOVIET INVASION OF AFGHANISTAN."" THE EDITORIAL ADDED, ""IT CAN BE SAID THAT U.N. SECRETARY GENERAL WALDHEIM'S EFFORTS TO SEEK A PACKAGE SOLUTION BY LINKING THE RELEASE OF THE HOSTAGES TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE HAS CREATED A NEW SITUATION.""

THE YOMIURI ALSO CARRIED AN EDITORIAL ON JANUARY 26 ON THE OTA POLICY SPEECH TO THE DIET. ""THE PRIME MINISTER SAID THAT JAPAN MUST NOT KEEP ITSELF ALOOF FROM MEASURES AGAINST THE SOVIET ACTION EVEN IF IT MIGHT INVOLVE SOME SACRIFICES ON THE PART OF JAPAN. WE AGREE WITH THE PRIME MINISTER'S VIEW: SO LONG AS JAPAN'S DIPLOMACY IS BASED ON ITS COOPERATION WITH THE U.S., IT IS QUITE NATURAL FOR THIS COUNTRY TO TAKE MEASURES IN CONCERT WITH THE U.S. TO A DEGREE THAT WILL NOT INFRINGE UPON JAPAN'S INDEPENDENCE.""

Doctor advised Duolin (5days)nd Budocart (10 days)along with Singular 5mg for a month. I was told by a friend of mine that duolin should not be given as nebulisation without adding saline to it. Could you help me know wat is the saline - duolin ratio if that is the method? Does Budocart need to be assisted with saline too? Hi...if Budecort respules are being used then no need to add saline - By saline what we mean is normal saline (0.9%). But the Budecort respules need not be mixed with saline. You can directly nebulize them.

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.

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.

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."

The NYISO apologizes for any inconvenience resulting in the delay in posting these invoices. Transmission Customers will observe adjustments to their settlements to: (1) recover costs related to adjustments made outside of the billing process; and (2) adjust the NYISO clearing account balance to zero for November 1999 settlements. With regard to the adjustments made outside of the billing process, these adjustments could not have been corrected by a billing code or determinant data fix. As a result, the mechanism of paying and funding the adjustments is done through adjustments outside of the billing process. The total adjustment of $14,178.39 was allocated across 5,059,790 MWh. Customers may validate their respective adjustments by computing their ratio shares of the $14,178.39 using 5,059,790 MWh as the denominator in their respective ratios of their November 1999 load. Customers will observe a difference in the denominators used in the ratio share allocation of this adjustment versus adjustment #2. This is due to the fact that the costs for adjustment #1 are not allocated to those that received payment through the adjustment, which would defeat the purpose of the adjustment. Prior to October 2000, the NYISO recovered or refunded differences in the revenue received from Schedule 1 charges, which were comprised of forecasted uplift & residual adjustments, and the costs actually incurred by adjusting subsequent month's Schedule 1 rates accordingly. In October 2000, the NYISO implemented a change in the tariffed Schedule 1 provisions that allowed the recovery and refund of these costs as they were incurred. In order to allow any changes in uplift and residual adjustments to be settled through the settlement adjustment process, the code implemented in October 2000 was used to report these costs to the market. This results in an over-collection which is being returned to Customers through an adjustment to their monthly balances. This billing treatment for the November 1999 settlement adjustments resulted in credits to the market totaling $5,583,559.78 allocated across 5,074,229 MWh. Customers where allocated their portion of this adjustment based upon their respective ratio shares of the 5,074,229 MWh of NYISO transmission service billed for the month. November 1999 settlement adjustment settlement dates have been changed to address the delay in invoicing. Payments due to the NYISO for November 1999 settlement adjustments are due to be received in the NYISO clearing account on Monday, September 24, 2001. Payments due to market participants will be made on Thursday, September 27, 2001. Please refer to the attachment below for banking instructions. The NYISO anticipates that the 2nd settlement adjustment for December 1999 settlements will be invoiced tomorrow, Tuesday, September 2001 by 23:00. Settlements dates will be adjusted to accomodate the invoice date changes. Given the aforementioned schedules, payments due to the NYISO for December 1999 settlement adjustments will be due to be received in the NYISO clearing account on Tuesday, September 25, 2001.

For the past few days, he eats only two mouths of food in the afternoon and night. We tried everything like changing the taste, texture and type of food. My sister suggested me to stop breastfeeding, so that he will start eating food. And, I did the same. My son literally cried for two nights and yesterday, he was quite fine. But, his food intake is the same. I am emotionally feeling very bad. Whenever I lay down, he kisses me for milk. He hugs me and looks at me in a sad way.

Some of her diapers have been a yellow and pasty almost like play dough. Others have been pretty solid but also a yellow color. I can t remember the last time I changed a dark brown diaper. Could this be caused by the teething, a cold, milk allergy? Hi Thanks for posting your query. There are few problems expected during teething like irritation, excessive cry, excessive salivation, diarrhea. Constipation is as such not noticed during teething. But, stomach upset is expected due to infection as child keeps sucking the things due irritation in the gums. Even cold is not directly related to constipation. It would be of great if you provide me some more information to guide you better. Since how long your child is having constipation? Did constipation start after introducing any weaning food? Is she on any formula milk? Constipation could be due to intolerance to some food especially milk. It is more with formula milk compared to breast milk/cow milk. Introducing fiber-rich foods into her diet, such as fruits, vegetable purees and cereals like porridge will help. Fluids are equally important and the baby should be given plenty to drink for example water and diluted fruit juice. Massaging the baby's tummy can help relieve some of the tension in the bowels. Consult your pediatrician to rule out stomach infection if the above mentioned treatment doesn't work. I will be available if you have any followup queries. Thank you consulting me. Wishing you good health. Regards, Dr. Jyoti Patil.",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"My 14 month old daughter is teething and for the past week or so has been constipated.

The Administration will continue to monitor the domestic impact of the suspension of grain sales to the Soviet Union and take additional actions as necessary to minimize that impact. The President has also taken a number of measures to reassure the peoples of the region that the United States is committed to their security and well-being. These measures include consultations with our allies and friends in the region, the dispatch of a high-level US delegation to the region, and the dispatch of a senior Administration official, Ambassador Robert ne Strauss, to consult with our friends in the region on the economic impact of the suspension of grain sales to the USSR. We are also considering other measures to demonstrate our support for the region. We appreciate your concern for the well-being of the peoples of the region and for the impact of the suspension of grain sales on the US agricultural community. We share your concern and assure you that we are taking all necessary measures to minimize the impact of our actions on the region and on the US agricultural community. he Soviets, but because it is in our national interest to do so. We believe that arms control agreements can contribute to the security of the US and our allies and to stability in the world. Therefore, we will continue to pursue arms control negotiations with the Soviets, while at the same time maintaining a strong defense posture. The Department of Agriculture has estimated that the cost of these countermeasures is about $14 per person. Since a large part of that cost is in the form of credit or loans, once reserves start to shift to the market, it will be substantially less. In the past few weeks, the United States has taken several actions designed to reassure Afghanistan's neighbors of our concern for their security and our willingness to provide support. Most important among these was the announcement by President Carter in his State of the Union Address that the United States will regard any attempt by an outside force to gain control of the Persian Gulf region as an assault on the vital interests of the United States to be repelled by military force, if necessary. We are now working with our friends in the region to ensure that we will be in a position to fulfill this commitment. We have also renewed our pledge to preserve the security and territorial integrity of Pakistan. On February 1, National Security Advisor Brzezinski began talks with Pakistani leaders in Islamabad aimed at assessing that country’s security needs and determining how the United States might best contribute to its support. We will also be approaching the Congress with a request for increased military and economic assistance for Pakistan. Regarding Diego Garcia, we are going ahead with plans to complete construction of the US military base there by 1981 and have under active consideration steps to further upgrade its facilities. I do not believe your suggestion that NATO be restructured to operate outside the current Treaty area is feasible. The limitations of the NATO treaty area were essential to the European allies' acceptance of the Treaty and remain fundamental to the unity of the Alliance. While the US has tended toward a larger view of the problems facing NATO, other members have a more restricted view of the Alliance. Moreover, extension of the Alliance's current geographic mandate could expose individual members to operate outside of the current Treaty area, since actions taken in an extended Treaty zone would require thorough coordination within the Alliance. Nonetheless, all NATO members recognize that developments outside the Treaty area can have an impact on the Alliance's interests, and have agreed on the need for thorough consultations. Since the invasion of Afghanistan, we have been in close touch with the Allies, both bilaterally and through our Permanent Representative to the North Atlantic Council in Brussels. These consultations have ensured Allied support for the measures announced by the President and have encouraged complementary and parallel actions by the Allies. Nor do I believe that suspension of ongoing arms control negotiations with the Soviet Union, such as the CTB and MBFR talks, would be in our best interest. Our efforts to reach equitable and verifiable arms control agreements with the Soviets in a number of different areas go back to the early 1960's and have been carried on under five successive Presidents. We have undertaken these efforts not as a favor to the Soviets, but because it is in our national interest to do so. We believe that arms control agreements can contribute to the security of the US and our allies and to stability in the world. Therefore, we will continue to pursue arms control negotiations with the Soviets, while at the same time maintaining a strong defense posture. The Soviet Union but because they were in our national interest. The stability ed: framework of good arms control agreements complement our own defense efforts in a number of important ways. This remains true despite the Soviet aggression in Afghanistan, though that will, of course, make progress in the field of arms control more difficult. For that reason our interests would not be served by curtailing these efforts. I would note in this connection that the President, in his State of the Union message, emphasized the particular importance of the mutual restraints imposed by the SALT Treaties in a period of great tension and the contribution they make to world peace. In the wake of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, we have cut back considerably on our official exchanges with the USSR. A number of high level meetings have been indefinitely postponed, as well as a whole range of joint projects and activities. Further postponement of scheduled activities is likely to occur. For the present, it has been decided to maintain the framework of our scientific and technical agreements with the Soviets so that we would be able to resume a wider range of mutually advantageous exchanges if the political situation significantly improves.

Regarding Diego Garcia, we are going ahead with plans to complete construction of the US military base there by 1981 and have under active consideration steps to further upgrade its facilities. I do not believe your suggestion that NATO be restructured to operate outside the current Treaty area is feasible. The limitations of the NATO treaty area were essential to the European allies' acceptance of the Treaty and remain fundamental to the unity of the Alliance. While the US has tended toward a larger view of the problems facing NATO, other members have a more restricted view of the Alliance. Moreover, extension of the Alliance's current geographic mandate could expose individual members to operate outside of the current Treaty area, since actions taken in an extended Treaty zone would require thorough coordination within the Alliance. Nonetheless, all NATO members recognize that developments outside the Treaty area can have an impact on the Alliance's interests, and have agreed on the need for thorough consultations. Since the invasion of Afghanistan, we have been in close touch with the Allies, both bilaterally and through our Permanent Representative to the North Atlantic Council in Brussels. These consultations have ensured Allied support for the measures announced by the President and have encouraged complementary and parallel actions by the Allies. Nor do I believe that suspension of ongoing arms control negotiations with the Soviet Union, such as the CTB and MBFR talks, would be in our best interest. Our efforts to reach equitable and verifiable arms control agreements with the Soviets in a number of different areas go back to the early 1960's and have been carried on under five successive Presidents. We have undertaken these efforts not as a favor to the Soviets, but because it is in our national interest to do so. We believe that arms control agreements can contribute to the security of the US and our allies and to stability in the world. Therefore, we will continue to pursue arms control negotiations with the Soviets, while at the same time maintaining a strong defense posture. The Soviet Union but because they were in our national interest. The stability ed: framework of good arms control agreements complement our own defense efforts in a number of important ways. This remains true despite the Soviet aggression in Afghanistan, though that will, of course, make progress in the field of arms control more difficult. For that reason our interests would not be served by curtailing these efforts. I would note in this connection that the President, in his State of the Union message, emphasized the particular importance of the mutual restraints imposed by the SALT Treaties in a period of great tension and the contribution they make to world peace. In the wake of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, we have cut back considerably on our official exchanges with the USSR. A number of high level meetings have been indefinitely postponed, as well as a whole range of joint projects and activities. Further postponement of scheduled activities is likely to occur. For the present, it has been decided to maintain the framework of our scientific and technical agreements with the Soviets so that we would be able to resume a wider range of mutually advantageous exchanges if the political situation significantly improves.

We have agreed this change with Protocol and with Marcos’ office, but request Department confirmation that this change is satisfactory.

Propose to Department appropriate language for Joint Communique to cover major remaining items on which we intend to negotiate after the visit, and referring as appropriate to the conclusion in the year prior to Marcos’ visit of major agreements on criminal jurisdiction and land relinquishment. C. MAP Agreement Renegotiation. You should take no further action prior to receipt of septel we are sending you on this subject. 6. VETERANS MATTERS. A. Benefits.

With respect to both A and B above, it might become necessary to insert in the Joint Communique appropriate language referring to the US balance of payments problem and the fact that both sides are prepared to adopt measures to minimize this problem. 7. SPECIAL FUND FOR EDUCATION. We regard it as doubtful that agreement can be reached on projects under the Fund until after the State Visit, and we presume you agree. However, if you expect that Marcos during his visit will seek the President’s agreement to a 50 million peso expenditure from the Special Fund for school construction (Ref Biss memocon July 21), you should inform appropriate officials that detailed supporting material must be submitted for US consideration. In any case, we can insert in the Communique appropriate reference to the Fund and to the US readiness to support approved projects in the period immediately following the Visit. 8. GENERAL. The Joint Communique should cover at a minimum the subjects (1) peace and security in Southeast Asia; (2) regional cooperation in the Asian context.

It should also refer to continuing US commitment to assist Philippine defense effort. We should be prepared to announce that we have agreed to provide the Philippines with 12 F-5’s. This would be a useful gesture and could be presented as such to Marcos. We should also be prepared to announce that we are prepared to provide additional military assistance to the Philippines in the future as required. This would be in Yes, I believe it would be appropriate to include a reassertion of the Johnson-Macapagal defense commitment language in the Johnson-Marcos Joint Communique. This would reaffirm the strong and longstanding commitment of the United States to the defense and security of the Philippines. Angeles rather than returning to Washington. We have agreed this change with Protocol and with Marcos’ office, but request Department confirmation that this change is satisfactory. We have also been informed that Marcos will be accompanied by his daughter Imee and possibly by his wife and oldest son. We will keep Department informed as details become available. 3. B. US Bases. Propose to Department appropriate language for Joint Communique to cover major remaining items on which we intend to negotiate after the visit, and referring as appropriate to the conclusion in the year prior to Marcos’ visit of major agreements on criminal jurisdiction and land relinquishment. C. MAP Agreement Renegotiation. You should take no further action prior to receipt of septel we are sending you on this subject. 6. VETERANS MATTERS. A. Benefits. Communique could refer to expected approval by both Presidents of recommendations of Joint Commission, and to desire to see recommended legislation enacted soonest. B. Claims. This matter is in a working stage. C. With respect to both A and B above, it might become necessary to insert in the Joint Communique appropriate language referring to the US balance of payments problem and the fact that both sides are prepared to adopt measures to minimize this problem. 7. SPECIAL FUND FOR EDUCATION. We regard it as doubtful that agreement can be reached on projects under the Fund until after the State Visit, and we presume you agree. However, if you expect that Marcos during his visit will seek the President’s agreement to a 50 million peso expenditure from the Special Fund for school construction (Ref Biss memocon July 21), you should inform appropriate officials that detailed supporting material must be submitted for US consideration. In any case, we can insert in the Communique appropriate reference to the Fund and to the US readiness to support approved projects in the period immediately following the Visit. 8. GENERAL. The Joint Communique should cover at a minimum the subjects (1) peace and security in Southeast Asia; (2) regional cooperation in the Asian context. We suggest that the Department send us as soon as possible a first draft of the language for this portion of the Communique.

"STRUCTURE, PHILOSOPHY, AND CAPABILITY (U) (U) The Chinese military product R&D structure is characterized by a centralized, state-controlled system. Although there are a number of government organizations involved in R&D, the primary organization is the Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND). COSTIND is responsible for the overall direction of the Chinese defense industry and its R&D activities. It is the Chinese equivalent of the US Department of Defense. COSTIND is responsible for the management of the defense industrial base, weapons acquisition, and R&D. (U) COSTIND is divided into five departments. The department of Strategic Planning and Policy is responsible for long-range planning, overall policy formulation, and coordination. The department of Science, Technology, and Quality Control is responsible for overall technology planning and management. The department of Industry is responsible for the management of defense industrial enterprises. The department of Armament is responsible for weapons acquisition and procurement. The department of Personnel and Training is responsible for personnel management and training. (U) The Chinese defense industry is composed of a number of research institutes, universities, and factories. The research institutes are responsible for conducting basic and applied research. The universities are responsible for training personnel for the defense industry. The factories are responsible for the production of weapons and equipment. (U) The Chinese defense industry is also divided into a number of research and production corporations. These corporations are responsible for the management of the various research institutes, universities, and factories. The corporations are responsible for the management of the entire R&D process, from basic research to production. The Chinese defense industry also includes a number of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which are responsible for the production of weapons and equipment. (U) The Chinese government has a number of policies and regulations that govern the development of weapons and equipment. The most important of these policies is the “Two Bombs, One Satellite” policy. This policy was adopted in 1965 and is designed to ensure that China develops nuclear weapons and a space program. The policy has been very successful, and China is now capable of producing a wide range of weapons and equipment, including nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and satellites. (U) Another important policy is the “Three Lines of Defense” policy. This policy was adopted in 1971 and is designed to ensure that China is capable of defending itself against foreign aggression. The three lines of defense are the nuclear deterrent, the conventional military, and the militia. This policy has been very successful, and China is now capable of defending itself against foreign aggression. (U) In addition to these policies, the Chinese government has also established a number of regulations and standards for the development of weapons and equipment. These regulations and standards cover a wide range of issues, including quality control, safety, environmental protection, and intellectual property rights. The Chinese government is also working to improve the management of the defense industry and to increase the efficiency of weapons production. (U) The Chinese defense industry has made significant progress in recent years. China is now capable of producing a wide range of weapons and equipment, including nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and satellites. The Chinese defense industry is also working to develop advanced technologies, such as stealth technology and high-energy lasers. However, there are still areas where China lags behind other countries, such as in the development of advanced aircraft engines and advanced electronics. (U) In order to overcome these deficiencies, the Chinese government has launched a number of initiatives to promote the development of advanced technologies. For example, the Chinese government has established a number of special programs to develop advanced technologies, including the 863 Program, the 973 Program, and the National High-Tech Research and Development Program. These programs provide funding and support for research and development in key areas, such as information technology, biotechnology, and new materials. (U) In addition, the Chinese government has also encouraged international cooperation and technology transfer in order to acquire advanced technologies from other countries. China has established joint research centers with a number of countries, including the United States, Russia, and Germany. These joint research centers allow Chinese scientists and engineers to work with their foreign counterparts and to acquire advanced technologies and expertise. (U) Despite these efforts, the Chinese defense industry still faces a number of challenges. The Chinese government is working to reform the defense industry and to improve its management and efficiency. However, there are still concerns about corruption, inefficiency, and lack of transparency in the defense industry. In addition, the Chinese defense industry is also facing increasing competition from other countries, such as India and Russia, which are also developing advanced weapons and equipment. (U) In conclusion, the Chinese defense industry has made significant progress in recent years, but there are still challenges that need to be overcome. The Chinese government is working to promote the development of advanced technologies and to improve the management and efficiency of the defense industry. However, it will take time for China to catch up with other countries in terms of advanced technology and weapons production. STRUCTURE, PHILOSOPHY AND CAPABILITY (U) ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE (U) (U) Military product R&D is conducted across a broad spectrum of organizations in China, though generally placed into two sectors - military and civilian. In the military sector, defense-related R&D is conducted in research facilities of the PLA, research academies directly controlled by COSTIND and in research academies of the defense industrial ministries. With the streamlining of the government bureaucracy in 1988, it has become more difficult to distinguish between civilian and defense ministries. The diversification or conversion of much idle defense plant space to the production of civilian goods has blurred what was once a fairly distinct separation. (U) The specific processes through which the leadership acquires the technical advice and recommendations needed to make informed decisions has never been well documented. Some formal mechanisms for the upward flow of technical proposals through bureaucratic channels are known to exist and are assumed to operate. However, these mechanisms generally are part of the conventional planning process. They involve the submission of plans and proposals developed in research institutions for approval at various higher levels, usually up to the level of parent ministry leadership. This process has functioned in response to policy guidelines formulated by the leadership and passed down through the system. Although the process to some extent is an iterative, interactive cycle, it certainly is not the complete explanation of how major R&D policy initiatives are formulated at the highest level. (U) The Chinese military product R&D is also characterized by informal interaction among a small number of key scientists that simultaneously hold official positions in several organizations. They interact as members of professional societies, at national planning conferences and as advisors to political personalities. An example of such a key scientist is Qian Xuesen. Qian is currently a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), President of the China Association for Science and Technology, a Vice-Chairman of the Seventh China People’s Political Consultative Conference, director of a major CAS institute in Beijing and an alternate member of the Eleventh Chinese Communist Central Committee. Because of Qian's activities in the PRC space effort, he is commonly referred to as “The father of the Chinese space program.” UNCLASSIFIED CHINESE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY (U) (U) Greater emphasis in the Chinese R&D system has historically been placed on applied research over basic research for immediate, tangible results; that which can make an immediate improvement for the people. This is not to say that the Chinese are incapable of theoretical pursuits or that there are no capable Chinese theoreticians, quite the contrary. In the current S&T modernization program, applied research efforts are again being promoted to raise the overall level of S&T, upgrade the quality of Chinese products, and increase the volume and competitiveness of their products for export. (U) In China, the decision-making usually takes place in a committee setting, to ensure the collective responsibility of all the participants. Chinese managers and scientists are not fond of ""sticking their necks out"". This is not because of a lack of technical confidence but because any decision they make today may not be politically correct at some time in the future. (U) Press releases to the contrary, there is only a minimal amount of competition in the Chinese weapons R&D system. There are two main reasons for this. First, individual researchers and institutes are generally dedicated to specific military products. And second, China's scientific and technical manpower resources are very limited and spread very thin. In some cases, there may not be a competitor available - especially for some subsystems. UNCLASSIFIED 10 February 1992 CHINESE R&D SYSTEM WEAKNESSES (U) A. SHORTAGE OF QUALIFIED S&T MANPOWER (U) (U) Since its founding in 1949, the People's Republic of China has been seriously affected by a shortage of professional scientists and engineers. Efforts to modernize the economy and the military have always been hampered by a generally low level of science and technology. Deficiencies have been the result, in large part, of an S&T manpower pool of insufficient size and of a caliber generally below that of advanced nations. For the past 30 years, there have been periodic attempts to enlarge and upgrade the S&T work force, but plans were often thwarted by political events. (U) From the beginning, Chinese leaders were aware of the problem of insufficient numbers of scientists and engineers, as evidenced by a call that went out in 1950 for ethnic Chinese scientists living abroad to return to China and assist in its modernization efforts. Many did return during the following decade, and coupled with those receiving advanced education in the Soviet Union prior to 1962, formed the backbone of the S&T work force. That group numbered about 10,000, of which 1,100 received doctoral level degrees in the West and less than 2,000 received similar degrees in the USSR. The current cadre of senior researchers and other leaders of the scientific community come from this group. (U) The shortage of qualified R&D personnel in China is compensated for by having the older cadres assigned multiple research responsibilities. Each of these scientists has worked simultaneously on several priority research projects at institutes of the Academy of Sciences, industrial ministries, and technical colleges and universities. The competent individuals were brought together to work in research task forces that cut across administrative lines of organization. The task group approach is widely used in high-priority military product R&D programs. DST-1830S-407-92 10 February 1992 (U) China has set ambitious goals in its race to catch up with the modernized world. To achieve such ambitious goals, the S&T manpower situation must improve dramatically. Goal achievement is dependent upon the ability to revitalize education and equip universities with modern textbooks and equipment. Further, the ability and willingness of foreign countries to absorb large numbers of Chinese students in their educational systems, the ability of these students to absorb the required knowledge, and the ability of the Chinese government to finance its modernization programs are all factors that must be considered in projecting future manpower strength and capability. (U) The future S&T manpower situation in China is uncertain. While there appears to be consensus among the top political leadership as to goals, it is not certain how the consensus on, or continuity of, programs might be affected by the death of someone such as Deng Xiaoping. Of even less certainty is the degree of consensus and willingness to cooperate among those who must be depended upon to implement the plans. There are noticeable pockets of resistance in both scientific and education circles, as older cadres are forced to make room for younger, more technically competent scientists and administrators. Another uncertainty is whether China's modernization plans are simply too ambitious. The leadership may have overestimated its ability to achieve its goals. For a more detailed analysis of Chinese S&T manpower, see ""S&T Manpower (Trends and Forecasts) - China"", DST-1830S-269-88. B. POOR LATERAL COMMUNICATIONS (U) C. POOR MANAGEMENT WORK STYLE (U) (U) Management is considered by the Chinese to be one of the four ""bottlenecks"" in the successful achievement of their modernization goals. The other bottlenecks are considered to be energy, transportation, and telecommunications. In general, the Chinese are having a very very difficult time converting from a socialist management style to one more compatible with their goal of achieving a more market-oriented economy with Chinese characteristics. Specifically, the Chinese are having trouble marketing their products, becoming more results-oriented, and adopting an aggressive management style. The Chinese are very uncomfortable moving from committee decision-making with inflexible, entrenched bureaucrats to an independent manager concept. However, they are attempting to introduce some western-style management techniques in their aerospace sector.

When all this is accomplished, the proposed design and a technology appraisal report is prepared and submitted to COSTIND for approval, with copies probably also going to MASI and GSD. If approved, signifying that the submitted design meets the original requirements, the design requirement is frozen and no major changes are allowed thereafter, e.g., the wing or the tail cannot be moved. 3.a.(3). Prototype Development (On-site Design) (U) If the Design Institute organization lacks CAD capability, then blueprints must be drawn by hand and, for a new aircraft, may take as much as ten months. Factory tooling begins; final weight analysis is conducted; and, very specialized wind tunnel testing continues (i.e., take-off and landing configurations). At this stage, the flight test program formulation begins and the performance is recalculated. After all these final calculations, the design is frozen. From this point forward, the design can only be changed for reasons of safety. In some cases, discrepancies are handled by rewriting the flight manual and placing limitations on how the aircraft is flown. A report is written on the finished design and submitted to COSTIND and the GSD. 3.b. Prototype Production (U) This stage requires extensive subcontractor involvement. At least two prototypes will be built; however, newer programs with high funding have built as many as six prototypes. The second prototype on all known programs has been a static test aircraft, Other prototypes are used for engine testing, stability/flutter testing, aerodynamic load testing, and avionics/weapons integration testing. By the end of this phase, the chief engineer has approved the flight test program, and the process moves on to the next phase. During this stage, ejection seat testing on rocket sleds also takes place. 3.c. Test and Evaluation (U) Flight testing is generally conducted both at the factory and at the China Flight Test Center (formerly 630 Research Institute) at Xian. China's aircraft factories have been attempting to become more independent by conducting more of the flight testing at their facilities. Testing usually begins within 30-60 days after rollout of the first prototype. If the airframe manufacturer/design institute is capable of performing static testing, then testing will begin immediately upon completion of the production of the second prototype. If testing cannot be done locally, the aircraft is shipped to the 623 Institute at Yaoxian (Shaanxi Province) for static testing. Initial flight tests consist of shaking down the major subsystems as well as basic aerodynamics and stability and SECRET UNCLASSIFIED DST-1830S-407-92 10 February 1992 (MMB) (U) 20 (U) The Ministry of Machine Building (MMB) is responsible for the development and production of aircraft, missiles, and electronics.

Research and Development Elements (U)",Confidential,DISC_Security,"STRUCTURE, PHILOSOPHY, AND CAPABILITY (U) (U) The Chinese military product R&D structure is characterized by a centralized, state-controlled system. Although there are a number of government organizations involved in R&D, the primary organization is the Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND). COSTIND is responsible for the overall direction of the Chinese defense industry and its R&D activities. It is the Chinese equivalent of the US Department of Defense. COSTIND is responsible for the management of the defense industrial base, weapons acquisition, and R&D. (U) COSTIND is divided into five departments. The department of Strategic Planning and Policy is responsible for long-range planning, overall policy formulation, and coordination. The department of Science, Technology, and Quality Control is responsible for overall technology planning and management. The department of Industry is responsible for the management of defense industrial enterprises. The department of Armament is responsible for weapons acquisition and procurement. The department of Personnel and Training is responsible for personnel management and training. (U) The Chinese defense industry is composed of a number of research institutes, universities, and factories. The research institutes are responsible for conducting basic and applied research. The universities are responsible for training personnel for the defense industry. The factories are responsible for the production of weapons and equipment. (U) The Chinese defense industry is also divided into a number of research and production corporations. These corporations are responsible for the management of the various research institutes, universities, and factories. The corporations are responsible for the management of the entire R&D process, from basic research to production. The Chinese defense industry also includes a number of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), which are responsible for the production of weapons and equipment. (U) The Chinese government has a number of policies and regulations that govern the development of weapons and equipment. The most important of these policies is the “Two Bombs, One Satellite” policy. This policy was adopted in 1965 and is designed to ensure that China develops nuclear weapons and a space program. The policy has been very successful, and China is now capable of producing a wide range of weapons and equipment, including nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and satellites. (U) Another important policy is the “Three Lines of Defense” policy. This policy was adopted in 1971 and is designed to ensure that China is capable of defending itself against foreign aggression. The three lines of defense are the nuclear deterrent, the conventional military, and the militia. This policy has been very successful, and China is now capable of defending itself against foreign aggression. (U) In addition to these policies, the Chinese government has also established a number of regulations and standards for the development of weapons and equipment. These regulations and standards cover a wide range of issues, including quality control, safety, environmental protection, and intellectual property rights. The Chinese government is also working to improve the management of the defense industry and to increase the efficiency of weapons production. (U) The Chinese defense industry has made significant progress in recent years. China is now capable of producing a wide range of weapons and equipment, including nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and satellites. The Chinese defense industry is also working to develop advanced technologies, such as stealth technology and high-energy lasers. However, there are still areas where China lags behind other countries, such as in the development of advanced aircraft engines and advanced electronics. (U) In order to overcome these deficiencies, the Chinese government has launched a number of initiatives to promote the development of advanced technologies. For example, the Chinese government has established a number of special programs to develop advanced technologies, including the 863 Program, the 973 Program, and the National High-Tech Research and Development Program. These programs provide funding and support for research and development in key areas, such as information technology, biotechnology, and new materials. (U) In addition, the Chinese government has also encouraged international cooperation and technology transfer in order to acquire advanced technologies from other countries. China has established joint research centers with a number of countries, including the United States, Russia, and Germany. These joint research centers allow Chinese scientists and engineers to work with their foreign counterparts and to acquire advanced technologies and expertise. (U) Despite these efforts, the Chinese defense industry still faces a number of challenges. The Chinese government is working to reform the defense industry and to improve its management and efficiency. However, there are still concerns about corruption, inefficiency, and lack of transparency in the defense industry. In addition, the Chinese defense industry is also facing increasing competition from other countries, such as India and Russia, which are also developing advanced weapons and equipment. (U) In conclusion, the Chinese defense industry has made significant progress in recent years, but there are still challenges that need to be overcome. The Chinese government is working to promote the development of advanced technologies and to improve the management and efficiency of the defense industry. However, it will take time for China to catch up with other countries in terms of advanced technology and weapons production. STRUCTURE, PHILOSOPHY AND CAPABILITY (U) ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE (U) (U) Military product R&D is conducted across a broad spectrum of organizations in China, though generally placed into two sectors - military and civilian. In the military sector, defense-related R&D is conducted in research facilities of the PLA, research academies directly controlled by COSTIND and in research academies of the defense industrial ministries. With the streamlining of the government bureaucracy in 1988, it has become more difficult to distinguish between civilian and defense ministries. The diversification or conversion of much idle defense plant space to the production of civilian goods has blurred what was once a fairly distinct separation. (U) The specific processes through which the leadership acquires the technical advice and recommendations needed to make informed decisions has never been well documented. Some formal mechanisms for the upward flow of technical proposals through bureaucratic channels are known to exist and are assumed to operate. However, these mechanisms generally are part of the conventional planning process. They involve the submission of plans and proposals developed in research institutions for approval at various higher levels, usually up to the level of parent ministry leadership. This process has functioned in response to policy guidelines formulated by the leadership and passed down through the system. Although the process to some extent is an iterative, interactive cycle, it certainly is not the complete explanation of how major R&D policy initiatives are formulated at the highest level. (U) The Chinese military product R&D is also characterized by informal interaction among a small number of key scientists that simultaneously hold official positions in several organizations. They interact as members of professional societies, at national planning conferences and as advisors to political personalities. An example of such a key scientist is Qian Xuesen. Qian is currently a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), President of the China Association for Science and Technology, a Vice-Chairman of the Seventh China People’s Political Consultative Conference, director of a major CAS institute in Beijing and an alternate member of the Eleventh Chinese Communist Central Committee. Because of Qian's activities in the PRC space effort, he is commonly referred to as “The father of the Chinese space program.” CHINESE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PHILOSOPHY (U) (U) Greater emphasis in the Chinese R&D system has historically been placed on applied research over basic research for immediate, tangible results; that which can make an immediate improvement for the people. This is not to say that the Chinese are incapable of theoretical pursuits or that there are no capable Chinese theoreticians, quite the contrary. In the current S&T modernization program, applied research efforts are again being promoted to raise the overall level of S&T, upgrade the quality of Chinese products, and increase the volume and competitiveness of their products for export. (U) In China, the decision-making usually takes place in a committee setting, to ensure the collective responsibility of all the participants. Chinese managers and scientists are not fond of ""sticking their necks out"". This is not because of a lack of technical confidence but because any decision they make today may not be politically correct at some time in the future. (U) Press releases to the contrary, there is only a minimal amount of competition in the Chinese weapons R&D system. There are two main reasons for this. First, individual researchers and institutes are generally dedicated to specific military products. And second, China's scientific and technical manpower resources are very limited and spread very thin. In some cases, there may not be a competitor available - especially for some subsystems. 10 February 1992 CHINESE R&D SYSTEM WEAKNESSES (U) A. SHORTAGE OF QUALIFIED S&T MANPOWER (U) (U) Since its founding in 1949, the People's Republic of China has been seriously affected by a shortage of professional scientists and engineers. Efforts to modernize the economy and the military have always been hampered by a generally low level of science and technology. Deficiencies have been the result, in large part, of an S&T manpower pool of insufficient size and of a caliber generally below that of advanced nations. For the past 30 years, there have been periodic attempts to enlarge and upgrade the S&T work force, but plans were often thwarted by political events. (U) From the beginning, Chinese leaders were aware of the problem of insufficient numbers of scientists and engineers, as evidenced by a call that went out in 1950 for ethnic Chinese scientists living abroad to return to China and assist in its modernization efforts. Many did return during the following decade, and coupled with those receiving advanced education in the Soviet Union prior to 1962, formed the backbone of the S&T work force. That group numbered about 10,000, of which 1,100 received doctoral level degrees in the West and less than 2,000 received similar degrees in the USSR. The current cadre of senior researchers and other leaders of the scientific community come from this group. (U) The shortage of qualified R&D personnel in China is compensated for by having the older cadres assigned multiple research responsibilities. Each of these scientists has worked simultaneously on several priority research projects at institutes of the Academy of Sciences, industrial ministries, and technical colleges and universities. The competent individuals were brought together to work in research task forces that cut across administrative lines of organization. The task group approach is widely used in high-priority military product R&D programs. DST-1830S-407-92 10 February 1992 (U) China has set ambitious goals in its race to catch up with the modernized world. To achieve such ambitious goals, the S&T manpower situation must improve dramatically. Goal achievement is dependent upon the ability to revitalize education and equip universities with modern textbooks and equipment. Further, the ability and willingness of foreign countries to absorb large numbers of Chinese students in their educational systems, the ability of these students to absorb the required knowledge, and the ability of the Chinese government to finance its modernization programs are all factors that must be considered in projecting future manpower strength and capability. (U) The future S&T manpower situation in China is uncertain. While there appears to be consensus among the top political leadership as to goals, it is not certain how the consensus on, or continuity of, programs might be affected by the death of someone such as Deng Xiaoping. Of even less certainty is the degree of consensus and willingness to cooperate among those who must be depended upon to implement the plans. There are noticeable pockets of resistance in both scientific and education circles, as older cadres are forced to make room for younger, more technically competent scientists and administrators. Another uncertainty is whether China's modernization plans are simply too ambitious. The leadership may have overestimated its ability to achieve its goals. For a more detailed analysis of Chinese S&T manpower, see ""S&T Manpower (Trends and Forecasts) - China"", DST-1830S-269-88. B. POOR LATERAL COMMUNICATIONS (U) C. POOR MANAGEMENT WORK STYLE (U) (U) Management is considered by the Chinese to be one of the four ""bottlenecks"" in the successful achievement of their modernization goals. The other bottlenecks are considered to be energy, transportation, and telecommunications. In general, the Chinese are having a very very difficult time converting from a socialist management style to one more compatible with their goal of achieving a more market-oriented economy with Chinese characteristics. Specifically, the Chinese are having trouble marketing their products, becoming more results-oriented, and adopting an aggressive management style. The Chinese are very uncomfortable moving from committee decision-making with inflexible, entrenched bureaucrats to an independent manager concept. However, they are attempting to introduce some western-style management techniques in their aerospace sector.

When all this is accomplished, the proposed design and a technology appraisal report is prepared and submitted to COSTIND for approval, with copies probably also going to MASI and GSD. If approved, signifying that the submitted design meets the original requirements, the design requirement is frozen and no major changes are allowed thereafter, e.g., the wing or the tail cannot be moved. 3.a.(3). Prototype Development (On-site Design) (U) If the Design Institute organization lacks CAD capability, then blueprints must be drawn by hand and, for a new aircraft, may take as much as ten months. Factory tooling begins; final weight analysis is conducted; and, very specialized wind tunnel testing continues (i.e., take-off and landing configurations). At this stage, the flight test program formulation begins and the performance is recalculated. After all these final calculations, the design is frozen. From this point forward, the design can only be changed for reasons of safety. In some cases, discrepancies are handled by rewriting the flight manual and placing limitations on how the aircraft is flown. A report is written on the finished design and submitted to COSTIND and the GSD. 3.b. Prototype Production (U) This stage requires extensive subcontractor involvement. At least two prototypes will be built; however, newer programs with high funding have built as many as six prototypes. The second prototype on all known programs has been a static test aircraft, Other prototypes are used for engine testing, stability/flutter testing, aerodynamic load testing, and avionics/weapons integration testing. By the end of this phase, the chief engineer has approved the flight test program, and the process moves on to the next phase. During this stage, ejection seat testing on rocket sleds also takes place. 3.c. Test and Evaluation (U) Flight testing is generally conducted both at the factory and at the China Flight Test Center (formerly 630 Research Institute) at Xian. China's aircraft factories have been attempting to become more independent by conducting more of the flight testing at their facilities. Testing usually begins within 30-60 days after rollout of the first prototype. If the airframe manufacturer/design institute is capable of performing static testing, then testing will begin immediately upon completion of the production of the second prototype. If testing cannot be done locally, the aircraft is shipped to the 623 Institute at Yaoxian (Shaanxi Province) for static testing. Initial flight tests consist of shaking down the major subsystems as well as basic aerodynamics and stability and UNCLASSIFIED DST-1830S-407-92 10 February 1992 (MMB) (U) 20 (U) The Ministry of Machine Building (MMB) is responsible for the development and production of aircraft, missiles, and electronics.

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.

Both countries have been interested in maintaining stability and security in the region. The southern flank refers to the southern part of Europe, including countries such as Italy, Greece, and Turkey. These countries have been facing various challenges, including political instability, economic difficulties, and security threats. The United States and China have both been involved in efforts to address these issues and promote stability in the region. Kissinger: That is interesting. That is our assessment as well. We have seen some signs of tension between the Spanish Communist Party and the Soviet Union. But we are also concerned about the possibility of a power struggle in Spain after Franco's death. We are working with our European allies to try to prevent any Soviet influence in Spain and to support democratic forces. Kissinger: We are also concerned about the economic situation in Yugoslavia. They have a very high foreign debt and their economy is not doing well. We are afraid that if the economy collapses, it could lead to political instability and increase the likelihood of Soviet intervention. We are trying to work with the Yugoslavs to help them with their economic problems. Teng: We have good relations with Yugoslavia. They are a non-aligned country and we support their independence. But we will also watch the situation closely and be prepared to take action if necessary. Kissinger: We appreciate your support.

Have you measured your blood pressure lately? A low blood pressure or orthostatic hypotension could explain this clinical scenario. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a chest x ray and some blood lab tests :- complete blood count ( for chronic anemia or a chronic infection). - HbA1C (to identify the mean blood glucose values of the last 3 months)- fasting glucose- kidney and liver function tests - thyroid hormone levels ( a thyroid dysfunction could also mimic these symptoms)- cortisol plasma levels (to examine the adrenal gland function)- blood electrolytes- inflammation tests (PCR, sedimentation rate). A head up tilt test may be necessary to confirm a possible orthostatic hypotension if suspicions are raised during the physical exam.

They believe that our presence would strengthen the regional balance of power and help to discourage Soviet expansionism. They are concerned that our military presence in the area may be temporary and that we may pull out after the Soviet threat recedes. They are also interested in our economic presence and want to increase trade and investment with the U.S. They are concerned that the U.S. may not be fully aware of the economic potential of the area and that we may be focusing too much on the Pacific Basin. ASEAN is interested in our views on the Indochina conflict. They want to know what we are doing to bring about a Vietnamese withdrawal from Kampuchea and how we intend to deal with the problem of the boat people. They want to know how we view the situation in Vietnam and what we are doing to improve our relations with Hanoi. They are also looking for reassurance that we will not abandon them in the face of Soviet expansionism. They want to know what we are doing to counter Soviet moves in the region and what our intentions are in terms of increasing our military presence. V. OUR OBJECTIVES We want to use the Manila meeting to emphasize the importance we attach to our relationship with ASEAN and to reassure the ASEANS of our constancy of purpose in foreign policy and our determination to stand by our friends and allies. We should also use the meeting to reinforce ASEAN's understanding of the worldwide Soviet challenge, highlighting Moscow's selective use of force in Southeast Asia. We should also take the opportunity to brief ASEAN on your talks in Beijing. We should use the meeting to reassure ASEAN of our commitment to refugee resettlement. We should praise the ASEANS for providing asylum and for their efforts to resettle refugees. We should also use the meeting to show understanding for ASEAN's concerns in their economic relations with the U.S. We should be prepared to discuss commodity issues and the Law of the Sea. VI. THE ISSUES 1. Soviet Expansionism ASEAN has been concerned about Soviet expansionism in Southeast Asia since the Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea in 1978. They are concerned that the Vietnamese occupation of Kampuchea may be a prelude to further Soviet expansion in the region. They are also concerned about the Soviet presence in Vietnam and the Soviet presence in Cuba. We should use the Manila meeting to reinforce ASEAN's understanding of the worldwide Soviet challenge, highlighting Moscow's selective use of force in Southeast Asia. We should also take the opportunity to brief ASEAN on your talks in Beijing. We should make clear that we have no intention of abandoning our friends in the face of Soviet expansionism. 2. Indochina ASEAN would like to see the U.S. more fully involved in Indochina. They believe that our presence would strengthen the regional balance of power and help to discourage Soviet expansionism. They are concerned that our military presence in the area may be temporary and that we may pull out after the Soviet threat recedes. We should make clear that we have no intention of abandoning our friends in Indochina. We should also brief ASEAN on our efforts to bring about a Vietnamese withdrawal from Kampuchea and on our efforts to deal with the problem of the boat people. We should also discuss the situation in Vietnam and our efforts to improve our relations with Hanoi. 3. Economic Relations ASEAN is interested in our economic presence in the region. They want to increase trade and investment with the U.S. They are concerned that the U.S. may not be fully aware of the economic potential of the area and that we may be focusing too much on the Pacific Basin. We should use the meeting to show understanding for ASEAN's concerns in their economic relations with the U.S. We should be prepared to discuss commodity issues and the Law of the Sea. 4. Refugee Resettlement ASEAN has been providing asylum to Indochinese refugees since the end of the Vietnam war. They have also been working to resettle these refugees. They are concerned that the U.S. may not be doing enough to help with this effort. We should use the meeting to reassure ASEAN of our commitment to refugee resettlement. We should praise the ASEANS for providing asylum and for their efforts to resettle refugees. VII. CONCLUSION Your participation in the Manila meeting will be an important sign of our esteem for ASEAN. It will also provide an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate our dependability as a friend and ally. We should use the meeting to reinforce ASEAN's understanding of the worldwide Soviet challenge, to reassure ASEAN of our commitment to refugee resettlement, and to show understanding for ASEAN's concerns in their economic relations with the U.S. We should also use the meeting to defuse any ASEAN suspicions that Sino-U.S. relations are developing at their ultimate expense. ment, the ASEAN states are not convinced that we are doing all we can. They are particularly concerned about the possibility of a sudden influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees from Kampuchea. It will be important to reassure them that we are aware of their concerns and are doing everything possible to prevent a crisis. Emphasizing our gratitude for their hospitality and our recognition of the burdens they bear should help strengthen our position in discussions with them. 6. OBJECTIVE: Discuss with ASEANs the situation in Kampuchea. You will want to express our thanks for their efforts to promote a political settlement of the Kampuchean conflict and our support for the ASEAN Six-Point Peace Plan. You should also make clear that we are not prepared to recognize the present regime in Phnom Penh, and that we are convinced that the only hope for a political solution lies in a political settlement that includes the participation of the non-communist resistance.

CONFIDENTIAL E SOVIETS ARE ALSO SEEKING TO INCREASE THEIR INFLUENCE IN THE PACIFIC THROUGH THE USE OF DIPLOMATIC, ECONOMIC AND OTHER NON-MILITARY PRESSURES. ~ THE SOVIET UNION IS NOT CONTENT TO BE A REGIONAL POWER. MOSCOW IS DETERMINED TO PROJECT ITS POWER AND INFLUENCE INTO THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION, AND TO MAKE USE OF ANY OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND ITS TERRITORIAL, ECONOMIC AND MILITARY POSITION IN EAST ASIA. ~ THE U.S. IS COMMITTED TO MEETING THE CHALLENGE OF THE SOVIET UNION. WE ARE PREPARED TO WORK WITH OUR FRIENDS AND ALLIES TO ENSURE THAT THE SOVIETS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXPLOIT THEIR MILITARY POWER TO ACHIEVE THEIR EXPANSIONIST OBJECTIVES. ~ WE BELIEVE THAT THE SOVIET UNION'S MILITARY BUILDUP AND ITS EXPANDING NETWORK OF PROXIES POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND STABILITY. WE ARE CONVINCED THAT THE SOVIET UNION'S MILITARY AND POLITICAL OBJECTIVES ARE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE INTERESTS OF THE U.S. AND THE ASEAN STATES. 3. OBJECTIVE: Show understanding for ASEAN concerns about the U.S. and its policies, particularly in light of recent events and developments. TALKING POINTS ~ WE ARE AWARE THAT RECENT EVENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS, SUCH AS THE CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION, THE REFUGEE PROBLEM, AND THE SURGE IN BOAT REFUGEES, HAVE RAISED CONCERNS IN THE ASEAN REGION. WE WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT WE ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING THESE CONCERNS AND WORKING TOGETHER WITH ASEAN TO FIND SOLUTIONS. ~ WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE REFUGEE PROBLEM IS A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR THE ASEAN STATES AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING TOGETHER TO FIND A HUMANE AND LASTING SOLUTION. ~ WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THE SURGE IN BOAT REFUGEES IS A CHALLENGE THAT WE MUST ADDRESS TOGETHER. WE ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH ASEAN TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF THIS PROBLEM AND FINDING A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION. ~ WE ARE AWARE OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION AND WANT TO REASSURE YOU THAT OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR FRIENDS AND ALLIES REMAINS STRONG AND CONSISTENT. ~ WE VALUE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ASEAN AND ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING OUR DIALOGUE AND COOPERATION ON ISSUES OF MUTUAL INTEREST AND CONCERN. The U.S. continues to increase pressure on strategically important nations, especially in the Persian Gulf and Southwest Asia, which are vital to the interests of the U.S., its allies and friends. In East Asia, we are particularly concerned by the enhancement of Moscow's ability to project power throughout the region. Soviet use of Vietnamese facilities has increased the threat to sea lines of communication and provided visible support for Vietnam's regional aggression. This administration is determined to reverse these adverse trends and to work with our allies and friends to protect our common interests from Soviet strategic ambitions. To this end, the U.S. is committed to a substantial increase in naval and power projection capabilities, which we are planning to ensure that we maintain an adequate military presence in the region. We also wish to increase cooperation with our major allies and other nations that share our interests. We will show, through visible improvement in our consultations and coordination with our major European and Asian friends and allies, a new determination to strengthen our combined capabilities. We will work with all other friendly nations, according to their desires, to protect our common interests and pursue common policy objectives. Finally, in dealing with the Soviets, the U.S. is prepared to enter into meaningful negotiations on major issues, including arms control, on the basis of strict reciprocity and restraint in Soviet behavior. We hope that the new determination of the U.S., its allies and friends to improve our strategic position will induce Soviet restraint, which is the precondition for any positive negotiations to occur. Vietnam's occupation of Kampuchea is the manifestation of Hanoi's ambitions to control Indochina and of the joint efforts of the Soviets and Vietnamese to project their influence into Southeast Asia. The United States is unalterably opposed to this aggression, and will work closely with ASEAN and other friendly powers to maintain political and economic pressure on Vietnam to get Hanoi to negotiate a settlement in Kampuchea. Our support for ASEAN's strategy is durable. We will continue to support ASEAN's strategy in the UN, including support for their credentials. We would prefer a constructive course for the region; peaceful development and stability are currently jeopardized by Vietnamese ambitions and obstinacy. The ASEAN-sponsored UNGA resolution on Kampuchea, which the United States firmly supports, offers the best principles on which a constructive solution could be developed. The United States firmly endorses the holding of a conference on Kampuchea, and we are urging other parties to attend. The conference can keep the focus on Kampuchea, establish a vehicle for resolution of the issue should Hanoi decide to negotiate a settlement, and explore modalities of a settlement. We hope the conference will establish an ongoing mechanism to pursue these goals. We also welcome the efforts of Khmer nationalists to work together to rally support in opposition to the Vietnamese occupation of Kampuchea. We are providing humanitarian assistance. They have our moral and political support. We will watch closely the evolution of these efforts to determine what role we can best play working closely with ASEAN. CONFIDENTIAL -6- supported the U.S. position of a free market and no buffer stock. We are hopeful that the new agreement will be consistent with our policy. The ASEANs have been very helpful in the past on this issue and we will want to discuss the tin situation with them. TALKING POINTS -~ WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT YOUR COUNTRIES HAVE GIVEN US ON THE INTERNATIONAL TIN COUNCIL. WE HOPE WE CAN CONTINUE TO COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT IN THE INTERNATIONAL TIN NEGOTIATIONS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY IN GENEVA. - THE U.S. IS STRONGLY COMMITTED TO A FREE MARKET FOR TIN AND TO AVOIDING ANY INTERNATIONAL TIN AGREEMENT WHICH MIGHT INTERFERE WITH THE FREE FLOW OF TIN OR WHICH WOULD IMPOSE BURDENSOME REQUIREMENTS ON CONSUMERS. ~ WE ARE ENCOURAGED BY RECENT TRENDS IN THE TIN MARKET WHICH ARE MORE CONSISTENT WITH OUR OBJECTIVES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL TIN MARKET. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CONSUMING AND PRODUCING COUNTRIES TO ACHIEVE A MARKET-BASED SOLUTION TO THE TIN PROBLEM. CONFIDENTIAL - The U.S. recognizes the importance of a balanced and economically viable Sixth International Tin Agreement. - We remain hopeful that close cooperation between ASEAN and the U.S. can lead to a successful conclusion of the negotiations. - Sales of tin by the GSA have been very moderate, less than 1% of the world market since July 1980. - These sales are handled with great care, especially during periods of relative price weakness, and are an important part of our effort to restructure the U.S. strategic stockpile. - The U.S., along with the majority of other tin consuming nations, did not believe an increase in the price range was justified in April. - If a request is made to revise the price range at the July ITC meeting, we will approach the issue with an open mind. - We intend to take fully into account ASEAN's views in the policy review we are conducting of our law of the sea position. - No conclusions have been reached and consultations with all interested groups will continue until the fall. - We will ensure that all aspects of the current treaty text, including provisions regarding navigation, coastal state rights, and special regimes for islands and archipelagos, are given appropriate weight in our deliberations.

Supporting members of country delegations may participate in the discussion. You are free to call on your colleagues, who will be ranged along the table with you, to take part if you wish. THE ASEANS WILL SPEND A MAJOR PART OF THE SESSION DISCUSS- ING THE KAMPUCHEA PROBLEM AND RELATED CHINA, VIET NAM, AND SOVIET ISSUES WITH YOU. Based on what we know of recent intra-ASEAN discussions, you can also expect to be asked about U.S. tin policy and Law of the Sea, a special interest of Singapore's UN Permrep Tommy Koh, who will be in Manila.

Thank you. of economic and military assistance. We have made it clear that we will continue to oppose any legislative attempts to reduce our aid package to the Philippines, which is already the largest in Asia.

Marcos may seek to address this issue and defend his government's actions, while the U.S. may use the opportunity to express its concerns and urge improvements in the human rights situation. OBJECTIVES A. Reaffirm U.S. Support for the Philippines The primary objective of the meeting with President Marcos is to reaffirm the U.S.'s support for the Philippines and its government. This includes reaffirming the importance of the U.S.-Philippines relationship and expressing our commitment to maintaining a strong partnership. B.

They are concerned that our military presence in the area may be temporary and that we may pull out after the Soviet threat recedes. They are also interested in our economic presence and want to increase trade and investment with the U.S. They are concerned that the U.S. may not be fully aware of the economic potential of the area and that we may be focusing too much on the Pacific Basin. ASEAN is interested in our views on the Indochina conflict. They want to know what we are doing to bring about a Vietnamese withdrawal from Kampuchea and how we intend to deal with the problem of the boat people. They want to know how we view the situation in Vietnam and what we are doing to improve our relations with Hanoi. They are also looking for reassurance that we will not abandon them in the face of Soviet expansionism. They want to know what we are doing to counter Soviet moves in the region and what our intentions are in terms of increasing our military presence. V. OUR OBJECTIVES We want to use the Manila meeting to emphasize the importance we attach to our relationship with ASEAN and to reassure the ASEANS of our constancy of purpose in foreign policy and our determination to stand by our friends and allies. We should also use the meeting to reinforce ASEAN's understanding of the worldwide Soviet challenge, highlighting Moscow's selective use of force in Southeast Asia. We should also take the opportunity to brief ASEAN on your talks in Beijing. We should use the meeting to reassure ASEAN of our commitment to refugee resettlement. We should praise the ASEANS for providing asylum and for their efforts to resettle refugees. We should also use the meeting to show understanding for ASEAN's concerns in their economic relations with the U.S. We should be prepared to discuss commodity issues and the Law of the Sea. VI. THE ISSUES 1. Soviet Expansionism ASEAN has been concerned about Soviet expansionism in Southeast Asia since the Vietnamese invasion of Kampuchea in 1978. They are concerned that the Vietnamese occupation of Kampuchea may be a prelude to further Soviet expansion in the region. They are also concerned about the Soviet presence in Vietnam and the Soviet presence in Cuba. We should use the Manila meeting to reinforce ASEAN's understanding of the worldwide Soviet challenge, highlighting Moscow's selective use of force in Southeast Asia. We should also take the opportunity to brief ASEAN on your talks in Beijing. We should make clear that we have no intention of abandoning our friends in the face of Soviet expansionism. 2. Indochina ASEAN would like to see the U.S. more fully involved in Indochina. They believe that our presence would strengthen the regional balance of power and help to discourage Soviet expansionism. They are concerned that our military presence in the area may be temporary and that we may pull out after the Soviet threat recedes. We should make clear that we have no intention of abandoning our friends in Indochina. We should also brief ASEAN on our efforts to bring about a Vietnamese withdrawal from Kampuchea and on our efforts to deal with the problem of the boat people. We should also discuss the situation in Vietnam and our efforts to improve our relations with Hanoi. 3. Economic Relations ASEAN is interested in our economic presence in the region. They want to increase trade and investment with the U.S. They are concerned that the U.S. may not be fully aware of the economic potential of the area and that we may be focusing too much on the Pacific Basin. We should use the meeting to show understanding for ASEAN's concerns in their economic relations with the U.S. We should be prepared to discuss commodity issues and the Law of the Sea. 4. Refugee Resettlement ASEAN has been providing asylum to Indochinese refugees since the end of the Vietnam war. They have also been working to resettle these refugees. They are concerned that the U.S. may not be doing enough to help with this effort. We should use the meeting to reassure ASEAN of our commitment to refugee resettlement. We should praise the ASEANS for providing asylum and for their efforts to resettle refugees. VII. CONCLUSION Your participation in the Manila meeting will be an important sign of our esteem for ASEAN. It will also provide an excellent opportunity for us to demonstrate our dependability as a friend and ally. We should use the meeting to reinforce ASEAN's understanding of the worldwide Soviet challenge, to reassure ASEAN of our commitment to refugee resettlement, and to show understanding for ASEAN's concerns in their economic relations with the U.S. We should also use the meeting to defuse any ASEAN suspicions that Sino-U.S. relations are developing at their ultimate expense. ment, the ASEAN states are not convinced that we are doing all we can. They are particularly concerned about the possibility of a sudden influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees from Kampuchea. It will be important to reassure them that we are aware of their concerns and are doing everything possible to prevent a crisis. Emphasizing our gratitude for their hospitality and our recognition of the burdens they bear should help strengthen our position in discussions with them. 6. OBJECTIVE: Discuss with ASEANs the situation in Kampuchea. You will want to express our thanks for their efforts to promote a political settlement of the Kampuchean conflict and our support for the ASEAN Six-Point Peace Plan. You should also make clear that we are not prepared to recognize the present regime in Phnom Penh, and that we are convinced that the only hope for a political solution lies in a political settlement that includes the participation of the non-communist resistance.

E SOVIETS ARE ALSO SEEKING TO INCREASE THEIR INFLUENCE IN THE PACIFIC THROUGH THE USE OF DIPLOMATIC, ECONOMIC AND OTHER NON-MILITARY PRESSURES. ~ THE SOVIET UNION IS NOT CONTENT TO BE A REGIONAL POWER. MOSCOW IS DETERMINED TO PROJECT ITS POWER AND INFLUENCE INTO THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION, AND TO MAKE USE OF ANY OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND ITS TERRITORIAL, ECONOMIC AND MILITARY POSITION IN EAST ASIA. ~ THE U.S. IS COMMITTED TO MEETING THE CHALLENGE OF THE SOVIET UNION. WE ARE PREPARED TO WORK WITH OUR FRIENDS AND ALLIES TO ENSURE THAT THE SOVIETS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXPLOIT THEIR MILITARY POWER TO ACHIEVE THEIR EXPANSIONIST OBJECTIVES. ~ WE BELIEVE THAT THE SOVIET UNION'S MILITARY BUILDUP AND ITS EXPANDING NETWORK OF PROXIES POSE A SERIOUS THREAT TO INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND STABILITY. WE ARE CONVINCED THAT THE SOVIET UNION'S MILITARY AND POLITICAL OBJECTIVES ARE INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE INTERESTS OF THE U.S. AND THE ASEAN STATES. 3. OBJECTIVE: Show understanding for ASEAN concerns about the U.S. and its policies, particularly in light of recent events and developments. TALKING POINTS ~ WE ARE AWARE THAT RECENT EVENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS, SUCH AS THE CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION, THE REFUGEE PROBLEM, AND THE SURGE IN BOAT REFUGEES, HAVE RAISED CONCERNS IN THE ASEAN REGION. WE WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT WE ARE FULLY COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING THESE CONCERNS AND WORKING TOGETHER WITH ASEAN TO FIND SOLUTIONS. ~ WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE REFUGEE PROBLEM IS A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR THE ASEAN STATES AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING TOGETHER TO FIND A HUMANE AND LASTING SOLUTION. ~ WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THE SURGE IN BOAT REFUGEES IS A CHALLENGE THAT WE MUST ADDRESS TOGETHER. WE ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH ASEAN TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF THIS PROBLEM AND FINDING A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION. ~ WE ARE AWARE OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION AND WANT TO REASSURE YOU THAT OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR FRIENDS AND ALLIES REMAINS STRONG AND CONSISTENT. ~ WE VALUE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ASEAN AND ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING OUR DIALOGUE AND COOPERATION ON ISSUES OF MUTUAL INTEREST AND CONCERN. The U.S. continues to increase pressure on strategically important nations, especially in the Persian Gulf and Southwest Asia, which are vital to the interests of the U.S., its allies and friends. In East Asia, we are particularly concerned by the enhancement of Moscow's ability to project power throughout the region. Soviet use of Vietnamese facilities has increased the threat to sea lines of communication and provided visible support for Vietnam's regional aggression. This administration is determined to reverse these adverse trends and to work with our allies and friends to protect our common interests from Soviet strategic ambitions. To this end, the U.S. is committed to a substantial increase in naval and power projection capabilities, which we are planning to ensure that we maintain an adequate military presence in the region. We also wish to increase cooperation with our major allies and other nations that share our interests. We will show, through visible improvement in our consultations and coordination with our major European and Asian friends and allies, a new determination to strengthen our combined capabilities. We will work with all other friendly nations, according to their desires, to protect our common interests and pursue common policy objectives. Finally, in dealing with the Soviets, the U.S. is prepared to enter into meaningful negotiations on major issues, including arms control, on the basis of strict reciprocity and restraint in Soviet behavior. We hope that the new determination of the U.S., its allies and friends to improve our strategic position will induce Soviet restraint, which is the precondition for any positive negotiations to occur. Vietnam's occupation of Kampuchea is the manifestation of Hanoi's ambitions to control Indochina and of the joint efforts of the Soviets and Vietnamese to project their influence into Southeast Asia. The United States is unalterably opposed to this aggression, and will work closely with ASEAN and other friendly powers to maintain political and economic pressure on Vietnam to get Hanoi to negotiate a settlement in Kampuchea. Our support for ASEAN's strategy is durable. We will continue to support ASEAN's strategy in the UN, including support for their credentials. We would prefer a constructive course for the region; peaceful development and stability are currently jeopardized by Vietnamese ambitions and obstinacy. The ASEAN-sponsored UNGA resolution on Kampuchea, which the United States firmly supports, offers the best principles on which a constructive solution could be developed. The United States firmly endorses the holding of a conference on Kampuchea, and we are urging other parties to attend. The conference can keep the focus on Kampuchea, establish a vehicle for resolution of the issue should Hanoi decide to negotiate a settlement, and explore modalities of a settlement. We hope the conference will establish an ongoing mechanism to pursue these goals. We also welcome the efforts of Khmer nationalists to work together to rally support in opposition to the Vietnamese occupation of Kampuchea. We are providing humanitarian assistance. They have our moral and political support. We will watch closely the evolution of these efforts to determine what role we can best play working closely with ASEAN. CONFIDENTIAL -6- supported the U.S. position of a free market and no buffer stock. We are hopeful that the new agreement will be consistent with our policy. The ASEANs have been very helpful in the past on this issue and we will want to discuss the tin situation with them. TALKING POINTS -~ WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT YOUR COUNTRIES HAVE GIVEN US ON THE INTERNATIONAL TIN COUNCIL. WE HOPE WE CAN CONTINUE TO COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT IN THE INTERNATIONAL TIN NEGOTIATIONS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY IN GENEVA. - THE U.S. IS STRONGLY COMMITTED TO A FREE MARKET FOR TIN AND TO AVOIDING ANY INTERNATIONAL TIN AGREEMENT WHICH MIGHT INTERFERE WITH THE FREE FLOW OF TIN OR WHICH WOULD IMPOSE BURDENSOME REQUIREMENTS ON CONSUMERS. ~ WE ARE ENCOURAGED BY RECENT TRENDS IN THE TIN MARKET WHICH ARE MORE CONSISTENT WITH OUR OBJECTIVES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL TIN MARKET. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CONSUMING AND PRODUCING COUNTRIES TO ACHIEVE A MARKET-BASED SOLUTION TO THE TIN PROBLEM. The U.S. recognizes the importance of a balanced and economically viable Sixth International Tin Agreement. - We remain hopeful that close cooperation between ASEAN and the U.S. can lead to a successful conclusion of the negotiations. - Sales of tin by the GSA have been very moderate, less than 1% of the world market since July 1980. - These sales are handled with great care, especially during periods of relative price weakness, and are an important part of our effort to restructure the U.S. strategic stockpile. - The U.S., along with the majority of other tin consuming nations, did not believe an increase in the price range was justified in April. - If a request is made to revise the price range at the July ITC meeting, we will approach the issue with an open mind. - We intend to take fully into account ASEAN's views in the policy review we are conducting of our law of the sea position. - No conclusions have been reached and consultations with all interested groups will continue until the fall. - We will ensure that all aspects of the current treaty text, including provisions regarding navigation, coastal state rights, and special regimes for islands and archipelagos, are given appropriate weight in our deliberations.

Thank you. of economic and military assistance. We have made it clear that we will continue to oppose any legislative attempts to reduce our aid package to the Philippines, which is already the largest in Asia.

Hello!Welcome on HCM!I understand your concern and would explain that this drug belongs to a pharmacological class called muscle relaxants. All these drugs are usually not recommended for a long time because of possible addiction and tolerance. I agree with you that this drug is not so addictive like other drugs, but it can lead to a low grade of addiction. That is why they have adviced you to stop the drug. But, you should know that drugs are not the only way to reduce muscle spasms. Physiotherapy is the most appropriate treatment for the long term treatment of muscle spasms.

It s weird that all this happens as soon as I walk outside when the temperatures are high!! Hi, The onset or worsening of neurological symptoms involving cranial nerves with heat as a trigger is called Uhthoff's phenomenon. It is not clear to me that the Bell's palsy is exactly tied to what is happening and in fact, there is a chance that you are not suffering from true Bell's palsy to begin with but rather a central nervous system mimicker. My recommendation is that you speak with your primary doctor and ask to be referred to a Neurologist for the purpose of going back and relooking at the diagnosis of Bell's Palsy in the light of your neurological symptoms which are exacerbated by heat. There is a good chance the neurologist will order tests and studies on you such as an MRI of the brain and cervical spinal cord with Gadolinium contrast. This may disclose the reason for these problems. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Otherwise you can prefer immunotherapy either with subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) or sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT).For the present symptoms you can take Tab Montek LC which helps to control the symptoms, but it is temporary.

This report provides information on political and military conditions in Afghanistan. For an earlier analysis, see Special Report No. 70, ""Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan,"" April 1980, published by the Bureau of Public Affairs. POLITICAL FEUDING The following paper was written by Eliza Van Hollen of the Bureau of Intelligence and Research, Department of State. Intensifying infighting between the Khalq and Parcham factions of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) is significantly complicating efforts to legitimize and popularize the Soviet puppet Babrak Karmal regime. The struggle has its roots in early personal and ideological differences, greatly exacerbated by the events of the 2 years since the April 1978 coup, which brought the PDPA to power in Afghanistan. Should the present uneasy truce continue to erode, there could be another major upheaval in the Afghan political scene. Already, reports abound that each group is plotting to unseat the other. The situation presents the Soviets with a dilemma. The continuing feud is paralyzing government operations and strengthening the ranks of the countrywide resistance. But if the Soviets should espouse the cause of one faction to the exclusion of the other, they could further undermine their own base of support. While neither faction could remain in power without Soviet backing, keeping the peace between them may prove to be a goal beyond the Soviet reach. Importance of a United PDPA The government installed by the Soviets after their December 27 invasion signaled a reuniting of Khalqis and Parchamis under the leadership of longtime Parcham head, now President, Prime Minister, and Secretary General of the PDPA, Babrak Karmal. The government is a carefully contrived mix of Khalqis and Parchamis. There are two Deputy Prime Ministers— one a Khalqi, Assadullah Sarwari, and the other a Parchami, Sultan Ali Keshtmand. The dominant Parcham faction outnumbers the Khalqis in all the government and party organizations but only by a margin of four to three in the important Politburo. Collaboration between the two groups, functioning as a united PDPA, is important from the Soviet viewpoint for two reasons. First, it confers legitimacy on Babrak Karmal, the Soviet puppet, as a natural successor to the previous Khalq regimes of Nur Mohammad Taraki and Hafizullah Amin, and supports the claim that this is merely a new phase in the natural evolution of the Saur (April) revolution. Second, it helps establish as broad-based a political appeal as possible. The Soviet Union gambled that Babrak would appear more politically attractive than his predecessors and that it could effect a reconciliation between the estranged Khalqis and Parchamis which would provide a base on which to build a broader national front. The building of such a front is considered essential for overcoming the present widespread hostility to the succession of Marxist governments. The Soviets also apparently believed that the 85,000 troops they brought into Afghanistan to support Babrak would quickly discourage the countrywide opposition to the government, thus giving it time and breathing space to become established and to win support with conciliatory programs. To date, most of the Soviets' original judgments appear to have been in error. The overwhelming popular resistance, which has grown appreciably since the December invasion and is now directed primarily against the Soviets themselves, makes a mockery of any claim to legitimacy. Likewise, the deep-seated hostility between the Parcham and Khalq factions is proving to be irreconcilable. Early Stages of Rivalry The rivalry between the Khalqis and the Parchamis has its roots in an early split in the Communist-styled People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan when Babrak led a splinter er group out of the party in 1967, 2 years after it was founded by Taraki. The present organization was then known popularly as the Khalq party after the name of its short-lived publication Khalq (“the Masses” or “the People”), and the Babrak group became known as the Parcham (“Banner”) party from the name of its paper. The reasons for the original split appear to have been more personal than ideologi- cal, as both groups were dedicated to the principles of Marxism-Leninism. However, certain philosophical and policy differences separated them from the beginning and are important factors in the current struggle. The Parchamis have always been considered closer to Moscow than the more independent Khalgis. This is currently symbolized by the Parchamis’ blatant status as a Soviet puppet. Also, the Parchamis have consistently been more pragmatic and have favored temporary alliances with progressive movements as an intermediate step on the path to socialism, whereas the Khalqis have favored class struggle and a hard line. This approach led the Parchamis to team up with Mohammad Daoud for the coup against his cousin, King Zahir, in July 1973 and for the early stages of his presidency. Currently, it means that the Parchamis are advocating a gradual approach to political, social, and economic change in order to appease the inflamed populace. This policy appears to have the full support of the Soviets. Recruitment and organization patterns also differed from the beginning of the Afghan leftist movement and are important factors in the present conflict. The Parchamis, although more in the public eye because of the dynamism of Babrak, were two relatively small and loosely organized groups. They were intellectuals drawing their support from the urban middle class, professionals, and students, and have been described as Afghanistan's “Communist Aristocracy.” The Khalq group stayed more in the background but eventually came to be much larger and much better organized than the Parchamis. It recruited primarily among the civil service, the military establishment, and in the countryside. It was also considered to be more Pashtun-dominated than the Parcham party which, although smaller, reputedly had a broader ethnic base. One member of the Khalq inner circle who was a particularly effective organizer and had special responsibility for recruiting in the military was Amin. No official current membership figures are available. According to a recent Reuters article from Kabul, there are an estimated 25,000-50,900 Khalqis, while it is believed there were fewer than 10,000 Parchamis at the time of the December coup. These figures give a sense of relative size. They may have been valid for an earlier period, but in light of overwhelming current alienation they are probably highly inflated. Feuding Intensified The predominant cause for the current hostility lies in the events of the past two years after the Khalq and Parcham groups, having reunited in 1977 following 10 years of estrangement, jointly overthrew President Mohammad Daoud in April 1978. The unity which brought them to power proved to be short-lived. The Khalqis quickly outmaneuvered the Parcham group and forced Babrak and his closest associates first into diplomatic exile as ambassadors in July 1978 and later into real exile, when they were dismissed from their posts. Other high-ranking Parchamis suffered an even more disagreeable fate in the summer of 1978 when they were accused of plotting against the government, imprisoned, and tortured. During the course of the Taraki and Amin regimes, most of the Parcham leadership and hundreds of lower ranking members were imprisoned. When the Soviets invaded in December 1979 and overthrew Amin, who had won out in a power struggle with the subsequently murdered Taraki, they brought the exiled Parcham leadership group with them and reinstated it as the dominant element in the new government. All other The Parchamis were subsequently released from imprisonment. Against this background, it is understandable that the current attempts to reconcile past differences are not succeeding. Parchamis who suffered torture from their current Khalq colleagues cannot forget and forgive. One of the most hated figures is Khalqi Deputy Prime Minister Assadullah Sarwari, who was head of the secret police during the Taraki presidency and who is held personally responsible for the torture of some of the Parcham political prisoners, including the other Deputy Prime Minister, Sultan Ali Keshtmand. Current reports indicate a good deal of maneuvering by each group to discredit and hopefully eliminate the other. The differences are now becoming so acute that they are breaking out into the open and are being reported in the press with increasing frequency. Recently a prominent Parchami newspaper editor, who is a younger brother of Parcharni Deputy Prime Minister Keshtmand, was arrested after his paper ran an article and a cartoon critical of former President Taraki. While former President Amin is now treated as an aberrant and responsible for all the mistakes and suppression of the past 2 years, Taraki is still honored and the Khalqis in the present government are loyal to him. The Khalq faction is apparently opposed to the current Parcham policy, which emphasizes moderation and a respect for Islam designed to placate the hostile populace. The Khalqis reportedly were particularly opposed to issuing the new, less inflammatory flag. Most important of all, it has been reported by the Press Trust of India correspondent in Kabul that the recently signed Afghan-Soviet treaty covering the status of Soviet troops in Afghanistan has caused sharp divisions within the government and the party. Khalqis are now said to be increasingly opposed to the continued presence of Soviet troops. On the surface it might appear to be in the Soviets' interests to dispense with the Khalq faction altogether and rely solely on the more amenable and beholden Parchamis. However, Babrak Karmal has failed to win popular support, and strongman Khalqi Assadullah Sarwari is said to be a Soviet favorite. Even more important, the superior numerical strength of the Khalq group, and particularly its strength in the military, makes this a less appealing option. If the Khalqis were to go over to the resistance en masse, it would make the Soviets' job of pacification even more difficult than it already is. Some lower ranking Khalqis may already be joining the resistance ranks, however, and it certainly appears that the Soviets will find it increasingly difficult to keep the lid on the explosive feuding. SOVIET INTERVENTION The following analysis is based on material prepared by the Department of Defense. Soviet domination of Afghanistan is perhaps most evident in the civilian sector. Even President Babrak Karmal is said to be a ""prisoner"" of the Soviet Union. Except for a dozen sentries at the main gate, the security of the old palace where he lives is in Soviet hands. Babrak's bodyguard, chef, driver, doctor, and six chief advisers are all Soviets. The President's isolation is described as so total that his father - said to hold the Soviets in contempt - told Babrak never to enter the father's house with his Russian retinue. Soviet officials reportedly occupy the senior positions in every Afghan Ministry except the Foreign Ministry, where Afghans - because of the Ministry's visibility and its dealing with foreigners - occupy Deputy Director positions. Coordination among the various Afghan deputies is said to be poor because of the major role played by Soviet personnel and a fear of being near Soviet personnel should they be attacked. All decisions are Soviet, and most Afghan civil servants simply sit at their desks and collect their paychecks. Perhaps the most blatantly Soviet-dominated is the Ministry of Information and Culture. virtually all information releases are produced or cleared by Soviet personnel. Soviets also have been assigned to the editorial staffs of Afghan newspapers. Moscow is not only reorganizing and restructuring the Afghan Government but also dictating future Afghan policies, both internal and external. Last fall, eight Soviet advisors began drafting a new Afghan constitution. Soon after the April 1978 revolution, Soviet advisors were assigned to the Afghan educational system and began preparing new textbooks. Since then, several thousand civilian students have gone to the Soviet Union and other Eastern European countries. Training of military and police personnel in the U.S.S.R. continues. Clearly, Moscow is attempting to develop a young cadre to provide Marxist leadership in the future. Economic dependence also is growing. With revenues virtually nil, the Afghan Government is totally dependent upon the Soviets. The combination railway-highway bridge being built to link the two countries indicates the future direction of Afghan commerce. Even before the 1978 coup, the Soviets were in virtual control of the Afghan natural gas industry, and purchased Afghan gas at concessionary prices. The insurgency is having a major impact on Afghan food production. Several large grant-in-aid wheat deliveries have been announced, the latest on April 30 for 140,900 tons, and Soviet deliveries probably will increase in importance. Military Domination The Soviets have established their own military headquarters in Afghanistan. A number of Soviet general officers are assigned to established advisory as well as military command and staff positions, and there are advisors at every level of command in the Afghan military. Growing evidence indicates that the Soviet Army is planning for a long stay in Afghanistan. For example: © The Soviet Army is replacing rubber fuel storage bladders at its huge Pole-Khomri logistics base with permanent underground fuel storage facilities. Hardened ammunition storage facilities also are being constructed at Pole-Khomri. Fuel reserves are being increased at other Soviet military bases in Afghanistan. e Recently, the tour of duty for Soviet troops in Afghanistan has been set at 2 years. Dependents of Soviet military personnel are being brought into the country. Permanent quarters for Soviet officers and troops are under construction at major Soviet bases, and the Soviets are taking over some of the better equipped Afghan bases. @ Soviet military engineers are renovating Tap Tajbek—the palace where President Hafizullah Amin was killed during the December 1979 coup. A major Soviet command headquarters now located near the palace is planning to occupy the installation as soon as renovation is completed. Another large permanent Soviet military headquarters is being built to the north of Kabul. @ Soviet engineers have resurrected the long dormant plan to build a railroad from the Soviet border into the Kabul area. However, security problems throughout the country are likely to delay any such effort. Currently the only railroad in Afghanistan is a less than one-mile spur of the Russian-built railroad link crossing the Soviet-Afghan border near the Soviet city of Kushka. © The Soviets are building two permanent bridges across the Amu Darya River separating Afghanistan and the Soviet Union. These will replace Soviet pontoon bridges used by the Soviet invasion force in late December 1979. © Key Afghan airfields are being upgraded, including new revetments and permanent aircraft shelters, to handle the increased volume of Soviet military aircraft. © The existing MI-24/125 helicopter gunship maintenance facility at Kabul Airport is being enlarged, and a new gunship repair facility reportedly is being built at Bagram Air Force Base. Permanent operating bases are being built at Jalalabad and Ghazni to accommodate gunships involved in military operations in those areas. has The Soviet Army recently has started construction of permanent communications facilities to replace mobile field communications sites used in the first months of the invasion. There are indications that the Soviets are using the war to test and evaluate military equipment in combat. The following items of Soviet equipment —some new, some being evaluated for the first time under combat conditions— have been detected in Afghanistan: new armored personnel carriers and variants of known models; new models of multiple-rocket-launcher systems; new automatic mortars; new fixed-wing and helicopter aircraft; new assault rifles; a new battle-management computer system; self-propelled artillery; antipersonnel artillery shells; armored minelaying vehicles; sophisticated mine-clearing equipment; and automatic grenade launchers. The recent Soviet-Afghan Status of Forces Agreement serves to legitimize the Soviet presence. Although the exact terms of the agreement have not been disclosed, it is believed that they resemble those the Soviets have with Eastern Europe. The Afghan Military The Afghan military reflects Afghan disapproval of its Marxist government and the Soviet presence perhaps as strongly as any segment of Afghan society. Numbering some 100,000 at the time of the revolution, the army was wracked by purges; many senior officers were either killed or jailed, and others fled the country. Virtually overnight, young and inexperienced junior officers were given command of division and corps units because of their Marxist party affiliation. Morale declined, troops refused to fire on their countrymen, and desertions increased. Afghan logistics problems, such as an inability to resupply units with equipment, ammunition, and clothing, exacerbated the problem. Involuntary extension of duty tours, often until replacements could be found, did not end the army's decline. A recent all-out recruiting effort has failed despite several pay raises, bonuses for enlisting or extending service, and lucrative offers of noncommissioned officer or officer status for those qualified. Army and police press gangs have raided residential areas in Kabul searching for males down to age 15 despite Afghanistan's legal draft age of 22-25 years. Effective military strength is now estimated at 30,000-40,000. A dramatic reduction in army strength followed the Soviet invasion. Many Afghan soldiers fired on Soviet troops as they approached Afghan garrisons. Several bloody clashes ensued, but ultimately these Afghan units were disarmed and some presumably were disbanded. The Afghan Air Force was grounded for some time following the invasion, and tank crews reportedly were told to remove batteries from their vehicles as a winter maintenance measure. Afghan armored forces were thus largely immobilized. Clashes also occurred when Soviet-style uniforms were issued to some Afghan units. Moreover, friction is evident over Afghan disapproval of heavy-handed Soviet tactics being used against the rebelling tribes. As a result, the Afghan military, intended by the Soviets to do the bulk of the fighting, cannot be trusted. It will not be an effective force until it is completely reorganized and rebuilt—a long and costly process. The Insurgency Popular reaction to the 1978 revolution turned from acceptance to violence within a few months. The centuries-old lifestyle of the tribesmen, dominated by Islam, was disrupted by the new government, which almost immediately began implementing reform programs that were radical in Afghan terms. Little if any coordination exists among tribal groups fighting Afghan and Soviet forces. Their common purpose, however, is to remove the Marxist government, force a Soviet retreat, and restore Islamic tenets in Afghanistan. Joined by many Afghan military personnel, the tribesmen have acquired a considerable stock of weapons formerly belonging to the Afghan military. Despite their hatred for the Soviet presence, the tribesmen are also suspicious of the Afghan military, which they see as an extension of the Soviet army. As a result, the tribesmen have been reluctant to cooperate with the Afghan military in joint operations against the Soviets. Ready constitution and martial lifestyle, however, they are ill-equipped to face modern military firepower. Without formal military training, they cling to classic guerrilla tactics. They are extremely vulnerable to attack by armored vehicles and aircraft. Medical assistance is almost nonexistent or available only across the Pakistani border. The number of casualties inflicted by Soviet forces cannot be confirmed. When the nationalists use ambushes, their casualties seem to be considerably lighter than when they attempt deliberately to engage Soviet forces. Soviet search-and- destroy operations reportedly have caused high casualties among civilians residing in combat zones. Soviet efforts to put down riots in Kabul in February reportedly resulted in 500-2,000 civilian deaths, while riots in April and early May resulted in another 100-120 deaths. Tactics used against the tribesmen have changed, resulting in increased casualties. Afghan security forces and Soviet troops no longer attempt to coerce the tribesmen to lay down their arms and go home. Both government and Soviet forces now conduct search operations to locate groups of freedom fighters and, once they are discovered, air strikes and artillery are used to annihilate them. Villages are particularly vulnerable to heavy Soviet air strikes. Many villages reportedly were totally destroyed by Soviet aircraft in the Konar Valley along the Pakistani border and along the highway between Kabul and Kandahar. Nevertheless, bolstered by Islam and a hatred of the Soviets, the tribesmen continue the fight despite little external support.

The building of such a front is considered essential for overcoming the present widespread hostility to the succession of Marxist governments. The Soviets also apparently believed that the 85,000 troops they brought into Afghanistan to support Babrak would quickly discourage the countrywide opposition to the government, thus giving it time and breathing space to become established and to win support with conciliatory programs. To date, most of the Soviets' original judgments appear to have been in error. The overwhelming popular resistance, which has grown appreciably since the December invasion and is now directed primarily against the Soviets themselves, makes a mockery of any claim to legitimacy. Likewise, the deep-seated hostility between the Parcham and Khalq factions is proving to be irreconcilable. Early Stages of Rivalry The rivalry between the Khalqis and the Parchamis has its roots in an early split in the Communist-styled People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan when Babrak led a splinter er group out of the party in 1967, 2 years after it was founded by Taraki. The present organization was then known popularly as the Khalq party after the name of its short-lived publication Khalq (“the Masses” or “the People”), and the Babrak group became known as the Parcham (“Banner”) party from the name of its paper. The reasons for the original split appear to have been more personal than ideologi- cal, as both groups were dedicated to the principles of Marxism-Leninism. However, certain philosophical and policy differences separated them from the beginning and are important factors in the current struggle. The Parchamis have always been considered closer to Moscow than the more independent Khalgis. This is currently symbolized by the Parchamis’ blatant status as a Soviet puppet. Also, the Parchamis have consistently been more pragmatic and have favored temporary alliances with progressive movements as an intermediate step on the path to socialism, whereas the Khalqis have favored class struggle and a hard line. This approach led the Parchamis to team up with Mohammad Daoud for the coup against his cousin, King Zahir, in July 1973 and for the early stages of his presidency. Currently, it means that the Parchamis are advocating a gradual approach to political, social, and economic change in order to appease the inflamed populace. This policy appears to have the full support of the Soviets. Recruitment and organization patterns also differed from the beginning of the Afghan leftist movement and are important factors in the present conflict. The Parchamis, although more in the public eye because of the dynamism of Babrak, were two relatively small and loosely organized groups. They were intellectuals drawing their support from the urban middle class, professionals, and students, and have been described as Afghanistan's “Communist Aristocracy.” The Khalq group stayed more in the background but eventually came to be much larger and much better organized than the Parchamis. It recruited primarily among the civil service, the military establishment, and in the countryside. It was also considered to be more Pashtun-dominated than the Parcham party which, although smaller, reputedly had a broader ethnic base. One member of the Khalq inner circle who was a particularly effective organizer and had special responsibility for recruiting in the military was Amin. No official current membership figures are available. According to a recent Reuters article from Kabul, there are an estimated 25,000-50,900 Khalqis, while it is believed there were fewer than 10,000 Parchamis at the time of the December coup. These figures give a sense of relative size. They may have been valid for an earlier period, but in light of overwhelming current alienation they are probably highly inflated. Feuding Intensified The predominant cause for the current hostility lies in the events of the past two years after the Khalq and Parcham groups, having reunited in 1977 following 10 years of estrangement, jointly overthrew President Mohammad Daoud in April 1978. The unity which brought them to power proved to be short-lived. The Khalqis quickly outmaneuvered the Parcham group and forced Babrak and his closest associates first into diplomatic exile as ambassadors in July 1978 and later into real exile, when they were dismissed from their posts. Other high-ranking Parchamis suffered an even more disagreeable fate in the summer of 1978 when they were accused of plotting against the government, imprisoned, and tortured. During the course of the Taraki and Amin regimes, most of the Parcham leadership and hundreds of lower ranking members were imprisoned. When the Soviets invaded in December 1979 and overthrew Amin, who had won out in a power struggle with the subsequently murdered Taraki, they brought the exiled Parcham leadership group with them and reinstated it as the dominant element in the new government. All other The Parchamis were subsequently released from imprisonment. Against this background, it is understandable that the current attempts to reconcile past differences are not succeeding. Parchamis who suffered torture from their current Khalq colleagues cannot forget and forgive. One of the most hated figures is Khalqi Deputy Prime Minister Assadullah Sarwari, who was head of the secret police during the Taraki presidency and who is held personally responsible for the torture of some of the Parcham political prisoners, including the other Deputy Prime Minister, Sultan Ali Keshtmand. Current reports indicate a good deal of maneuvering by each group to discredit and hopefully eliminate the other. The differences are now becoming so acute that they are breaking out into the open and are being reported in the press with increasing frequency. Recently a prominent Parchami newspaper editor, who is a younger brother of Parcharni Deputy Prime Minister Keshtmand, was arrested after his paper ran an article and a cartoon critical of former President Taraki. While former President Amin is now treated as an aberrant and responsible for all the mistakes and suppression of the past 2 years, Taraki is still honored and the Khalqis in the present government are loyal to him. The Khalq faction is apparently opposed to the current Parcham policy, which emphasizes moderation and a respect for Islam designed to placate the hostile populace. The Khalqis reportedly were particularly opposed to issuing the new, less inflammatory flag. Most important of all, it has been reported by the Press Trust of India correspondent in Kabul that the recently signed Afghan-Soviet treaty covering the status of Soviet troops in Afghanistan has caused sharp divisions within the government and the party. Khalqis are now said to be increasingly opposed to the continued presence of Soviet troops. On the surface it might appear to be in the Soviets' interests to dispense with the Khalq faction altogether and rely solely on the more amenable and beholden Parchamis. However, Babrak Karmal has failed to win popular support, and strongman Khalqi Assadullah Sarwari is said to be a Soviet favorite. Even more important, the superior numerical strength of the Khalq group, and particularly its strength in the military, makes this a less appealing option. If the Khalqis were to go over to the resistance en masse, it would make the Soviets' job of pacification even more difficult than it already is. Some lower ranking Khalqis may already be joining the resistance ranks, however, and it certainly appears that the Soviets will find it increasingly difficult to keep the lid on the explosive feuding. SOVIET INTERVENTION The following analysis is based on material prepared by the Department of Defense. Soviet domination of Afghanistan is perhaps most evident in the civilian sector. Even President Babrak Karmal is said to be a ""prisoner"" of the Soviet Union. Except for a dozen sentries at the main gate, the security of the old palace where he lives is in Soviet hands. Babrak's bodyguard, chef, driver, doctor, and six chief advisers are all Soviets. The President's isolation is described as so total that his father - said to hold the Soviets in contempt - told Babrak never to enter the father's house with his Russian retinue. Soviet officials reportedly occupy the senior positions in every Afghan Ministry except the Foreign Ministry, where Afghans - because of the Ministry's visibility and its dealing with foreigners - occupy Deputy Director positions. Coordination among the various Afghan deputies is said to be poor because of the major role played by Soviet personnel and a fear of being near Soviet personnel should they be attacked. All decisions are Soviet, and most Afghan civil servants simply sit at their desks and collect their paychecks. Perhaps the most blatantly Soviet-dominated is the Ministry of Information and Culture. virtually all information releases are produced or cleared by Soviet personnel. Soviets also have been assigned to the editorial staffs of Afghan newspapers. Moscow is not only reorganizing and restructuring the Afghan Government but also dictating future Afghan policies, both internal and external. Last fall, eight Soviet advisors began drafting a new Afghan constitution. Soon after the April 1978 revolution, Soviet advisors were assigned to the Afghan educational system and began preparing new textbooks. Since then, several thousand civilian students have gone to the Soviet Union and other Eastern European countries. Training of military and police personnel in the U.S.S.R. continues. Clearly, Moscow is attempting to develop a young cadre to provide Marxist leadership in the future. Economic dependence also is growing. With revenues virtually nil, the Afghan Government is totally dependent upon the Soviets. The combination railway-highway bridge being built to link the two countries indicates the future direction of Afghan commerce. Even before the 1978 coup, the Soviets were in virtual control of the Afghan natural gas industry, and purchased Afghan gas at concessionary prices. The insurgency is having a major impact on Afghan food production. Several large grant-in-aid wheat deliveries have been announced, the latest on April 30 for 140,900 tons, and Soviet deliveries probably will increase in importance. Military Domination The Soviets have established their own military headquarters in Afghanistan. A number of Soviet general officers are assigned to established advisory as well as military command and staff positions, and there are advisors at every level of command in the Afghan military. Growing evidence indicates that the Soviet Army is planning for a long stay in Afghanistan. For example: © The Soviet Army is replacing rubber fuel storage bladders at its huge Pole-Khomri logistics base with permanent underground fuel storage facilities. Hardened ammunition storage facilities also are being constructed at Pole-Khomri. Fuel reserves are being increased at other Soviet military bases in Afghanistan. e Recently, the tour of duty for Soviet troops in Afghanistan has been set at 2 years. Dependents of Soviet military personnel are being brought into the country. Permanent quarters for Soviet officers and troops are under construction at major Soviet bases, and the Soviets are taking over some of the better equipped Afghan bases. @ Soviet military engineers are renovating Tap Tajbek—the palace where President Hafizullah Amin was killed during the December 1979 coup. A major Soviet command headquarters now located near the palace is planning to occupy the installation as soon as renovation is completed. Another large permanent Soviet military headquarters is being built to the north of Kabul. @ Soviet engineers have resurrected the long dormant plan to build a railroad from the Soviet border into the Kabul area. However, security problems throughout the country are likely to delay any such effort. Currently the only railroad in Afghanistan is a less than one-mile spur of the Russian-built railroad link crossing the Soviet-Afghan border near the Soviet city of Kushka. © The Soviets are building two permanent bridges across the Amu Darya River separating Afghanistan and the Soviet Union. These will replace Soviet pontoon bridges used by the Soviet invasion force in late December 1979. © Key Afghan airfields are being upgraded, including new revetments and permanent aircraft shelters, to handle the increased volume of Soviet military aircraft. © The existing MI-24/125 helicopter gunship maintenance facility at Kabul Airport is being enlarged, and a new gunship repair facility reportedly is being built at Bagram Air Force Base. Permanent operating bases are being built at Jalalabad and Ghazni to accommodate gunships involved in military operations in those areas. has The Soviet Army recently has started construction of permanent communications facilities to replace mobile field communications sites used in the first months of the invasion. There are indications that the Soviets are using the war to test and evaluate military equipment in combat. The following items of Soviet equipment —some new, some being evaluated for the first time under combat conditions— have been detected in Afghanistan: new armored personnel carriers and variants of known models; new models of multiple-rocket-launcher systems; new automatic mortars; new fixed-wing and helicopter aircraft; new assault rifles; a new battle-management computer system; self-propelled artillery; antipersonnel artillery shells; armored minelaying vehicles; sophisticated mine-clearing equipment; and automatic grenade launchers. The recent Soviet-Afghan Status of Forces Agreement serves to legitimize the Soviet presence. Although the exact terms of the agreement have not been disclosed, it is believed that they resemble those the Soviets have with Eastern Europe. The Afghan Military The Afghan military reflects Afghan disapproval of its Marxist government and the Soviet presence perhaps as strongly as any segment of Afghan society. Numbering some 100,000 at the time of the revolution, the army was wracked by purges; many senior officers were either killed or jailed, and others fled the country. Virtually overnight, young and inexperienced junior officers were given command of division and corps units because of their Marxist party affiliation. Morale declined, troops refused to fire on their countrymen, and desertions increased. Afghan logistics problems, such as an inability to resupply units with equipment, ammunition, and clothing, exacerbated the problem. Involuntary extension of duty tours, often until replacements could be found, did not end the army's decline. A recent all-out recruiting effort has failed despite several pay raises, bonuses for enlisting or extending service, and lucrative offers of noncommissioned officer or officer status for those qualified. Army and police press gangs have raided residential areas in Kabul searching for males down to age 15 despite Afghanistan's legal draft age of 22-25 years. Effective military strength is now estimated at 30,000-40,000. A dramatic reduction in army strength followed the Soviet invasion. Many Afghan soldiers fired on Soviet troops as they approached Afghan garrisons. Several bloody clashes ensued, but ultimately these Afghan units were disarmed and some presumably were disbanded. The Afghan Air Force was grounded for some time following the invasion, and tank crews reportedly were told to remove batteries from their vehicles as a winter maintenance measure. Afghan armored forces were thus largely immobilized. Clashes also occurred when Soviet-style uniforms were issued to some Afghan units. Moreover, friction is evident over Afghan disapproval of heavy-handed Soviet tactics being used against the rebelling tribes. As a result, the Afghan military, intended by the Soviets to do the bulk of the fighting, cannot be trusted. It will not be an effective force until it is completely reorganized and rebuilt—a long and costly process. The Insurgency Popular reaction to the 1978 revolution turned from acceptance to violence within a few months. The centuries-old lifestyle of the tribesmen, dominated by Islam, was disrupted by the new government, which almost immediately began implementing reform programs that were radical in Afghan terms. Little if any coordination exists among tribal groups fighting Afghan and Soviet forces. Their common purpose, however, is to remove the Marxist government, force a Soviet retreat, and restore Islamic tenets in Afghanistan. Joined by many Afghan military personnel, the tribesmen have acquired a considerable stock of weapons formerly belonging to the Afghan military. Despite their hatred for the Soviet presence, the tribesmen are also suspicious of the Afghan military, which they see as an extension of the Soviet army. As a result, the tribesmen have been reluctant to cooperate with the Afghan military in joint operations against the Soviets. Ready constitution and martial lifestyle, however, they are ill-equipped to face modern military firepower. Without formal military training, they cling to classic guerrilla tactics. They are extremely vulnerable to attack by armored vehicles and aircraft. Medical assistance is almost nonexistent or available only across the Pakistani border. The number of casualties inflicted by Soviet forces cannot be confirmed. When the nationalists use ambushes, their casualties seem to be considerably lighter than when they attempt deliberately to engage Soviet forces. Soviet search-and- destroy operations reportedly have caused high casualties among civilians residing in combat zones. Soviet efforts to put down riots in Kabul in February reportedly resulted in 500-2,000 civilian deaths, while riots in April and early May resulted in another 100-120 deaths. Tactics used against the tribesmen have changed, resulting in increased casualties. Afghan security forces and Soviet troops no longer attempt to coerce the tribesmen to lay down their arms and go home. Both government and Soviet forces now conduct search operations to locate groups of freedom fighters and, once they are discovered, air strikes and artillery are used to annihilate them. Villages are particularly vulnerable to heavy Soviet air strikes. Many villages reportedly were totally destroyed by Soviet aircraft in the Konar Valley along the Pakistani border and along the highway between Kabul and Kandahar. Nevertheless, bolstered by Islam and a hatred of the Soviets, the tribesmen continue the fight despite little external support.

Drafted: TCH 8/28 374F AGRAVA BOARD REPORT O's and A's Q: Why is the US expressing such interest in the Agrava Board's work? Isn't this an internal Philippine matter? A: The Agrava Board's findings regarding the circumstances of the murder of Senator Aquino are, of course, first and foremost a matter of concern to the Philippine Government and people. In view of our close relations with the Philippines, however, the United States Government has made clear from the outset its deep concern over the assassination. Q: Did the US Government assist the investigation in any way? A: Early on the Philippine Government requested technical assistance in the tracing of the alleged murder weapon and in a fingerprint check. The FBI provided the requested assistance. Later US experts from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) testified at the Board hearings in Los Angeles. Q: Does the United States consider the Aquino case to be ""settled"" as a result of the Agrava Board report? A: No. As our statement indicates, we expect the Philippine Government to follow through to ensure that those responsible for Senator Aquino's murder are identified and held accountable for their crime. The United States' interest in seeing justice done in this case remains strong. Q: There were reports prior to the issuance of the Agrava Report that the Board would point to Armed Forces Chief of Staff Ver as the official who ordered Aquino's assassination.

A: It is up to the Philippine Government to determine who was responsible for the crime, and to punish them, no matter who they are. Q: Will the Agrava Board's finding that the Philippine military was responsible for Aquino's death have an effect on US military assistance to the Philippines? A: U.S. military assistance to the Philippines is part of a Presidential commitment, made at the conclusion of a review of our Military Bases Agreement in 1983, to exert best efforts to secure Congressional approval for a total of $900 million in security assistance during the five fiscal years beginning in FY 1985. The President specified in a letter to President Marcos that $425 million of that total would be in the form of military assistance ($300 million FMS; $125 million MAP). Our military assistance is directed at helping the Philippines provide for its legitimate defense needs, including the effort to combat a growing communist insurgency.

The U.S. has responded to these overtures by undertaking a series of initiatives designed to demonstrate to Iran the advantages of resuming direct contact with the U.S. The first of these initiatives was the President's letter to Khomeini on 29 May 1985. This letter was delivered to the Iranians by the Swiss Embassy in Tehran and asked for Iranian help in securing the release of the American hostages in Lebanon. The letter also expressed U.S. interest in improving relations with Iran. The reply to this letter was received on 11 June 1985. In it, the Iranians stated that they were willing to assist in the release of the hostages and that they were interested in improving relations with the U.S. The second initiative was the President's letter to President Khamenei on 17 October 1985. This letter was delivered to the Iranians by the Swiss Embassy in Tehran and reiterated U.S. interest in improving relations with Iran. It also suggested that direct contact might be possible. The reply to this letter was received on 3 November 1985. In it, the Iranians stated that they were interested in improving relations with the U.S. and that they were willing to discuss direct contact.

Even before President Reagan came to office the U.S. Government agreed to try to expand security, economic, political, and intelligence relationships at a pace acceptable to Tehran. [In the fall of 1979, the U.S. undertook three secret missions to Tehran: -- September 1979 -QRMBBMBMMMA (met secretly with Bazargan at the request of the Iranians), -- October 1979 = -- October-November 1979 WE, (discussed normalization of relations) when these meetings and the secret November 1, 1979 meeting in Algiers, between Brzezinski and Prime Minister Bazargan, became public in Iran, they helped precipitate the takeover of the U.S. Embassy by radical elements and led to the resignation of the Bazargan government. These events have adversely influenced Iran's subsequent willingness to engage in any direct contact with the USG. Despite mutual difficulties involved in re-establishing normal relations, our strategic interests in the Persian Gulf mandate persistent efforts to establish a dialogue. In this regard, it is notable that only a few major countries do not have relations with Iran -- Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Israel, South Africa, and the United States. Even Iraq continues to have diplomatic relations with Iran. Iran is the key to a region of vital importance to the West, yet it is increasingly threatened by growing Soviet military power and political influence along its borders and inside its territory. Over the course of the last two years, the Soviets and their surrogates have moved actively to gain greater influence in the Gulf: -- The Soviets believe that once Khomeini dies, they will have an excellent opportunity to influence the formation of a government in Tehran that serves Soviet strategic interests in the area.

Berger, National Security Council Declassify On: OADR 2 by NSC NLT -- Communist nations have become the principal arms suppliers to Iran -- making Iran dependent on this source of supply in contending with an increasingly strengthened Iraq. This leads us to the conclusion that the Soviets may well be attempting to pursue their own revolution in Iran. That is, by fueling both sides in the conflict, the Soviets could well encourage a disastrous ""final offensive"" by Iran that would precipitate a political disintegration in Iran, leaving a power vacuum which the Soviets could exploit. Specifically, the indicators of Communist influence in Iran are: TOP SECRET The increasing desperation brought on by the costs of the Iran-Iraq war has exacerbated Iran's vulnerability to Soviet influence. Moreover, Soviet designs in Afghanistan, pressure on Pakistan, and actual cross-border strikes in Iran from Afghanistan have made reopening a strategic dialogue increasingly important. TOP SECRET TOP SECRET In short, the Soviets were far better positioned to improve significantly their influence in the region in 1985 when we were presented with an opportunity to open a dialogue with Iran. In deciding to exploit this opening, we evaluated previous efforts through more conventional channels which had not succeeded. About two years ago, senior Iranian officials apparently decided that some accommodation with the U.S. was necessary. Since 1983 various countries have been engaged in overtures to the U.S. and Iran in an effort to stimulate direct contact. However, internal splits and debates made it difficult for Iran to respond positively. The U.S. has responded to these overtures by undertaking a series of initiatives designed to demonstrate to Iran the advantages of resuming direct contact with the U.S. The first of these initiatives was the President's letter to Khomeini on 29 May 1985. This letter was delivered to the Iranians by the Swiss Embassy in Tehran and asked for Iranian help in securing the release of the American hostages in Lebanon. The letter also expressed U.S. interest in improving relations with Iran. The reply to this letter was received on 11 June 1985. In it, the Iranians difficult Iranians to respond to these overtures. for the Numerous individuals and private parties have Likewise attempted to be helpful as intermediaries in establishing contact in Iran or in seeking Iranian assistance in the release of our citizens held hostage in Lebanon. . rc : an In the spring of 1985, a private American citizen (Michael Ledeen) learned from an Israeli government official (David Kimche) that the Israelis had established a liaison relationship with an Iranian expatriate (Manuchehr Ghorbanifar) in Europe who sought Israeli help in establishing contact with the U.S. Government. In acknowledging the need to demonstrate the bonafides of the Iranian officials involved, he (Ghorbanifar) indicated that his ""sponsors"" in Tehran could also help to resolve the American hostage situation in Beirut. In June of 1983, in the midst of the TWA-847 hijacking, the Israeli officials in direct contact with the Iranian expatriate asked him to use his influence with senior Iranian officials to obtain the release of the hijacked passengers. Two days after this approach, four Americans held separately from the rest of the hijacked passengers were freed and turned over to Syrian authorities. Majlis Speaker Rafsanjani, who was travelling in the Middle East at the time, and Iranian Foreign Minister Velayati both intervened with the captors. Rafsanjani, in his speech on November 4, 1986, for the first time publicly acknowledged his role in this matter. TOP SECRET: H SEC UNCLASSIFIED On July 1, 1985, during a visit to Washington, an Israeli official (Kimche) advised National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane that Israel had established a channel of communication with authoritative elements in Iran who were interested in determining whether the United States was open to a discreet, high-level dialogue. The Iranians were described as comprising the principal figures of the government (i.e., Speaker of the Majlis Rafsanjani, Prime Minister Musavi, and Khomeini's heir-apparent, Ayatollah Montazeri) and as being devoted to a reorientation of Iranian policy. At this first meeting, McFarlane went to great lengths to draw out the Israeli as to why he found the Iranian proposal credible, given the events of the past six years. The Israeli replied that their exhaustive analysis had gone beyond the surface logic deriving from the chaos and decline within Iran and the degenerative effects of the war, to more concrete tests of the willingness of the Iranians to take personal risks. He noted that the Iranians had exposed themselves to possible compromise by meeting with Israelis and by passing extremely sensitive intelligence on the situation (and political line-up) within Iran - information which was proven valid. The Israeli asked for our position on opening such a dialogue. No mention was made of any pre-conditions or Iranian priorities. McFarlane conveyed this proposal to the President in the presence of the Chief of Staff. The President said that he believed such a dialogue would be worthwhile at least to the point of determining the validity of the interlocutors. This decision was passed to the Israeli diplomat by telephone on July 30. On August 2, 1985, the Israeli called again on McFarlane. At this meeting, he stated that he had conveyed our position to the Iranian intermediary and that the Iranians had responded that they recognized the need for both sides to have tangible evidence of the bona fides of the other and that they believed they could affect the release of the Americans held hostage in Lebanon. According to the Israeli, the Iranians separately stated that they were vulnerable as a group and before having any prospect of being able to affect change within Iran, they would need to be substantially strengthened. To do so, they would need to secure the cooperation of military and/or Revolutionary Guard leaders. Toward this end, they expressed the view that the most credible demonstration of their strength would be the release of the hostages in Lebanon. tion of their influence and abilities would be to secure limited amounts of U.S. equipment. The Israeli asked for our position on such actions. TOP SECRET TOF SECRET: « UivgoASeoRE) Mr. McFarlane elevated this proposition to the President at a meeting within days that included the Secretaries of State and Defense and the Director of Central Intelligence. The President stated that, while he could understand that assuming the legitimacy of the interlocutors, they would be quite vulnerable and ultimately might deserve our support to include tangible 'materiel; at the time, without any first hand experience in dealing with them, he could “not authorize any transfers of military materiel. This was conveyed to the Israeli. TOP SECRET On August 22, 1985, the Israeli diplomat called once more to report that the message had been conveyed and that an impasse of confidence existed. He asked what the Position of the U.S. Government would be to an Israeli transfer of modest quantities of defensive military materiel. McFarlane replied that to him, such an action would represent a distinction without a difference. The Israeli diplomat explained at great length that Israel had its own policy interests that would be served by fostering such a dialogue in behalf of the U.S., but that a problem would arise when ultimately they needed to replace the materiel shipped. He asked whether Israel would be able to purchase replacements for items they chose to ship. McFarlane stated that the issue was not the ability of Israel to purchase military equipment from the U.S. - they had done so for a generation and would do so in the future - but rather the issue was whether it was U.S. policy to ship or allow others to ship military equipment to Iran. The Israeli asked for a position from our government. McFarlane elevated the question to the President (and to the Secretaries of State and Defense and the Director of Central Intelligence). The President stated that, while he could envision providing materiel support to moderate elements in Iran if all the Western hostages were freed, he could not approve any transfer of military materiel at that time. This position was conveyed to the Israeli diplomat. On September 14, 1985, Reverend Benjamin Weir was released in Syria by the Islamic Jihad Organization. This release was preceded by an intense effort on the part of Mr. Ter Waite, the Special Emissary of the Archbishop of Canterbury. To this date, Mr. Waite remains the only Westerner ever to meet directly with the Lebanese kidnappers. SEE Man crtri eae Qacee s meer tapes In late September, we learned that the Israelis had transferred 508 TOW missiles to Iran and that this shipment had taken place in late August. The Israelis told us that they undertook the action, despite our objections, because they believed it to be in their strategic interests. The Israelis managed this entire operation, to include delivery arrangements, funding, and transportation. After discussing this matter with the President, it was decided not to expose this Israeli delivery because we wanted to retain the option of exploiting the existing Israeli channel with Tehran in our own effort to establish a strategic dialogue with the Iranian government. The total value of the 508 TOWs shipped by Israel was estimated to be less than $2 million. On October 4, 1985, Islamic Jihad announced that it had “executed Beirut Station Chief William Buckley in retaliation for the October 1 Israeli air raid on PLO installations in Tunis. This announcement led to a series of meetings in Europe among the U.S. (CIA and NSC), Israeli, and Iranian intermediaries. In these meetings, the Iranians indicated that, while their ability to influence the Hizballah was waning, the Hizballah had not killed Buckley; he had in fact died several months earlier of natural causes. We have since substantiated this claim. to Israel). After further discussions, the Israelis agreed that we would explore the possibility of providing a limited number of HAWK missiles to Iran. The Israelis were convinced that this was the only way to secure the release of the U.S. hostages and the beginning of a U.S.-Iranian dialogue. The U.S. agreed to explore this possibility and on January 17, 1986, the President signed a ‘presidential finding authorizing the CIA to explore the delivery of the requested number of HAWK missiles to Iran. This information briefing of Father Venco and David Jacobsen, both of whom indicate that Buckley probably died on June 3, 1985 of Pneumonia-like Symptoms. In mid-November, the Israelis, through a senior officer in the Prime Minister's office (Amiram Nir), indicated that the Government of Israel was convinced that they were nearing a breakthrough with Iran on a high-level dialogue. The Israeli asked a U.S. official (North) for the name of a European-based airline which could discreetly transport passengers and cargo to Iran for the purpose of delivering them. We were assured, at the time, that the Israelis were going to ""try oil drilling parts as an incentive,"" since we had expressed so much displeasure over the earlier TOW shipment. The name of the proprietary was passed to the Israeli, who subsequently had the aircraft chartered through normal commercial contract for a flight from Los Angeles to Tel Aviv to Tabriz, Iran, on November 25, 1985. In January, we learned that the Israelis, responding to urgent entreaties from the Iranians, used the aircraft to transport 18 HAWK missiles to Iran in an effort to improve the static air defenses around Tehran. The Israelis were unaware of the CIA's involvement in the airline and the airline was paid at the normal commercial rate (approximately $127,700). The airline personnel were also unaware of the cargo they were transporting. The Israeli delivery of HAWK missiles raised serious U.S. concerns that these deliveries were jeopardizing our objective of arranging a direct meeting with high-level Iranian officials. As a consequence of U.S. initiative and by mutual agreement of all three parties, these missiles were subsequently returned to Israel in February 1986. On December 7, the President convened a meeting in the White House to discuss next steps in our efforts to establish direct contact with the Iranians. Attending the meeting were the Chief of Staff, Secretaries of State and Defense, the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence, and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and his Deputy. Immediately after the meeting, Mr. McFarlane departed for London to meet with the Israeli official and the Iranian contact to make clear the nature of our interest in a dialogue with Iran. At this meeting, Mr. McFarlane, as instructed by the President, stated that: - the U.S. was open to a political dialogue with Iran, but that no such dialogue could make progress for as long as groups seen as dominated by Iran held U.S. hostages; and - the U.S. could under no circumstances transfer arms to Iran in exchange for hostages. These points were made directly to the Iranian interlocutor. The Iranian replied that, unless his associates in Tehran were strengthened, they could not risk going ahead with the dialogue. Mr. McFarlane acknowledged the position but stated we could not change our position. In a separate meeting with the Israeli official, Mr. McFarlane made clear our strong objections to the Israeli shipment of the TOW missiles. Following these meetings, Mr. McFarlane returned to Washington and shortly thereafter left active government service. On January 2, the Prime Minister of Israel dispatched a special emissary to the U.S. (Amiram Nir) to review proposals for next steps in dealing with Iran. The Israelis urged that we reconsider the issue of providing limited defensive arms to those attempting to take power in Tehran, since all other incentives (economic assistance, medical supplies, machine parts) were of no value in shoring up those who wanted an opening to the West. Admiral Poindexter noted our stringent objections to the HAWK missile shipments in November and noted that the U.S. would have to ask for them to be returned (a step undertaken in February, when all 18 missiles were returned to Israel). After further discussions, the Israelis agreed that we would explore the possibility of providing a limited number of HAWK missiles to Iran. The Israelis were convinced that this was the only way to secure the release of the U.S. hostages and the beginning of a U.S.-Iranian dialogue. The U.S. agreed to explore this possibility and on January 17, 1986, the President signed a presidential finding authorizing the CIA to explore the delivery of the requested number of HAWK missiles to Iran. ted to Israeli). In that any implementation of the Israeli proposals would require the active participation of the intelligence community, the NSC Staff (North) was tasked to prepare a covert action finding. Work on this Presidential finding commenced on January 4. On January 6, the President, the Vice President, the Chief of Staff, and the National Security Advisor and his assistant reviewed the first draft of the Finding and the recommendations made by the Prime Minister of Israel through his special emissary, On January 7, the President met in the Oval Office with the Vice President, the Chief of Staff, Secretaries Shultz and Weinberger, Attorney General Meese, Director Casey, and the National Security ee TOP SECRET - UiVbTORUEREL FOR_SECRET— s Advisor to discuss the overall situation in Iran and prospects for a strategic dialogue. It was again noted that Mr. McFarlane on return from his trip to London, had recommended that no further action be taken unless a mechanism could be established by which the U.S. could exert better control over events. He agreed, in principle, with Director Casey that providing limited quantities of defensive arms after the hostages were released still had merit. Both Secretary Shultz and Secretary Weinberger objected to any provision of arms, citing that we could not be sure that these would really help moderate elements and that, if exposed, the project would not be understood by moderate Arabs and would be seen as contravening our policy of not dealing with states that support terrorism. The President decided that we should attempt to keep the Israeli channel active as long as it offered possibilities for meetings with high-level Iranian officials and left open the issue of providing defensive arms to Iran if all the hostages were released. It was further determined by the President that any dialogue with the Iranians must be aimed at achieving the following goals: -- Devising a formula for re-establishing a strategic relationship with Tehran. - Ending the Iran-Iraq War on honorable terms. - Convincing Iran to cease its support for terrorism and radical subversion. - Helping ensure the territorial integrity of Iran and coordinating ways in which we might counter Soviet activities in the region. The President made clear that a Western dialogue with Iran would be precluded unless Iran were willing to use its influence to achieve the release of Western hostages in Beirut. He also made clear that we could not and would not engage in trading arms for hostages. Secretaries Shultz and Weinberger retained their original position on providing any arms to Iran, but Attorney General Meese and Director Casey both supported the concept as a valid means of opening the dialogue. Attorney General Meese noted a 1981 determination by then Attorney General French Smith that transferring small quantities of arms through third countries under a Covert Action Finding was not illegal. t 7 ~— Ws, 2& - - x Hind to eat e On January 16, a meeting was held in the National Security Advisor's office with Secretary Weinberger, Attorney General Meese, Director Casey, and CIA General Counsel Stanley Sporkin. At this meeting, the final draft of the Covert Action Finding was reviewed and was forwarded to the President with Secretary Weinberger dissenting. On January 17, 1986, the President approved a Covert Action Finding (Tab A) directing that the intelligence community proceed with special activities aimed at accomplishing the goals set forth above. The President further determined that the activities authorized by the Finding justified withholding prior Congressional notification due to the extreme sensitivity of the dialogue being established. He further noted that public knowledge of the program would place the American hostages in Lebanon at greater risk. Noting his concern for the lives of those carrying out the operation (both U.S. and foreign), he directed that the Director of Central Intelligence take all necessary steps to ensure their safety. action to improve relations with Iran. He said that the Iranians were prepared to see a U.S. delegation in Tehran, but that the initiative for a meeting should come from Washington, He added that the Iranians were prepared to discuss the release of all hostages, but that they would not make the first move, The intermediary also urged that the U.S. take immediate steps to restrain Iraq, noting that Iran had the capability to strike American targets in the region. Central Intelligence refrain from reporting the Finding to the appropriate committees of the Congress until reasonably sure that those involved would no longer be in jeopardy. On February 5-7, U.S. officials (NSC and CIA), a representative of the Israeli Prime Minister (Amiram Nir), and a senior-level Iranian official met in London. At this meeting, the Iranians agreed that the USG would provide defensive weapons (TOWs) to Iran, and they would, in turn, provide the same to the Afghan Mujahideen. The U.S. side agreed to explore this possibility and, working with the Israelis, established the following mechanism for transfer of the weapons: -- The Iranian intermediary (Ghorbanifar) would deposit funds in an Israeli account. -- The Israelis would transfer funds to a sterile U.S.-controlled account in an overseas bank. -- Using these funds, the CIA would covertly obtain material authorized for transfer from U.S. military stocks and transport this to Israel for onward movement to Iran. Using the procedures stipulated above, $3.7 million was deposited in the CIA account in Geneva on February 11, 1986 and on February 14, 1,600 TOWs were transported to Israel for pre-positioning. These TOWs were transferred by CIA from DOD (U.S. Army stocks in Anniston, Alabama) and transported through EREPINERIOS 5.55 standard CTA. 000 RRUEMEREERY 5152 55 arrangements. Policy-level coordination for these arrangements was effected by NSC (North) with Poo (Armitage) and CIA (Clair George). The TOWs were placed in a covert Israeli facility awaiting onward shipment. On February 19-21, U.S. (NSC and CIA), Israeli and Iranian officials met in Germany to discuss problems in arranging a meeting among higher-level officials. At this meeting, the Iranians committed to a secret dialogue with the United States along the lines of our established goals. We believe that the Iranians were stimulated to renew the contact by the April 17 murder of hostage Peter Kilburn in retaliation for the U.S. On May 6-7, 1986, U.S. and Israeli officers met in London with the Iranian intermediary in which he urged that we take immediate action to improve relations with Iran. He said that the Iranians were prepared to see a U.S. delegation in Tehran, but that the initiative for a meeting should come from Washington. He added that the Iranians were prepared to discuss the release of all hostages, but that they would not make the first move. The intermediary also urged that the U.S. take immediate steps to restrain Iraq, noting that Iran had the capability to strike American targets in the region. PS to arrange for a high-level U.S./Iranian meeting in Tehran. During the London meeting, the Iranian urged that we (U.S. and Israel) take immediate steps to help with Iranian air defense. He emphasized that the Iraqi Air Force was increasingly effective of late and that the Iranians were desperate to stop attacks on population centers. The Israelis also used this opportunity to privately ask the U.S. to replace the $03 TOWs which they had sent to Iran in August, 1985. The Israelis were informed via coded message on May 15 that the U.S. had agreed to the Iranian request for limited anti-air defense equipment and to replenish the 508 TOWs sent by Israel. Based on assurances that we could at last meet face-to-face with top-level Iranian officials, on May 15, the President authorized a secret mission to Tehran by former National Security Advisor McFarlane, accompanied by a CIA annuitant, CIA communicators, members of the NSC staff, and the Israeli and Iranian interlocutors. On May 16, the Iranians, through the Israelis, provided $6.5M for deposit in the CIA secure funding mechanism. The funds were used to acquire $08 TOW missiles (for replenishing the TOWs Israel shipped in September 1985) and acquiring HAWK missile electronic spare parts. This material was subsequently moved, repackaged, and shipped to Kelly AFB for onward movement to Israel on May 22. As in the February shipment, the CIA provided logistics support for the movement of this material to Israel. In order to ensure operational security, the McFarlane trip was made from Israel, coincident with the delivery of a pallet of spare parts for Iranian defensive weapons systems (HAWK spare electronic parts). At the request of the Iranians, In the course of the four-day (May 25-29) visit, lengthy meetings were held with high-level Iranian officials, the first direct contact between the two governments in over six years. Mr. McFarlane and his team were able to establish the basis for a continuing relationship and clearly articulate our objectives, concerns, and intentions. The group was also able to assess firsthand the internal political dynamic in Tehran and the effect of the war which Iran clearly can no longer win. Using Presidentially approved Terms of Reference (Tab 8), which had been reviewed and approved by appropriate Cabinet officers, McFarlane emphasized that our interest in Iran transcended the hostages, but the continued detention of hostages by a Lebanese group philosophically aligned with Iran prevented progress. During the visit, Mr. McFarlane made clear: -- that we fundamentally opposed Iranian efforts to expel us from the Middle East; -- that we firmly opposed their use of terrorism; -- that we accepted their revolution and did not seek to reverse it; -- that we had numerous other disagreements involving regional policies (i.e., Lebanon, Nicaragua, etc.), but might also find areas of common interest (i.e., Afghanistan and the Soviet threat to the Gulf) through dialogue. During these meetings, both sides used the opportunity to detail the obstacles to implementing a strategic relationship between the two countries. In addition to the points noted above, Mr. McFarlane emphasized the political problems caused by Iranian involvement in the hostage issue. The Iranians objected to the USG embargo on U.S. military supplies already paid for, plus the continued USG blocking of Iranian assets in the U.S., even after U.S. courts had ruled in their favor. During the course of these meetings, the Iranian officials admitted that they could not win the war, but were in a dilemma in Tehran over how to end it. to open a dialogue with Iran through various channels were successful in securing the release of American hostages. However, the conflict given the need to present an Iranian ""victory"" before it could be concluded. They emphasized that the original aggressor, Saddam Hussein, must be removed from power in order for the war to end. Mr. McFarlane concluded the visit by summarizing that notwithstanding Iranian interest in carrying on with the dialogue, ""we could not proceed with further discussions in light of their unwillingness to exert the full weight of their influence to cause the release of the Western hostages in Lebanon. On June 10, Majlis Speaker Rafsanjani, in a speech in Tehran made guarded reference to Iranian interest in improved relations with the U.S. On July 26, Father Lawrence Jenco was released in the Bekaa Valley and found his way to a Syrian military checkpoint. On August 3, the remaining three pallets (less than 4 planeload) of electronic parts for Iranian anti-aircraft defenses (HAWK missile sub-components) arrived in Tehran. As in all flights to/from Iran this delivery was made with an Israeli Air Force aircraft (707) using false flag markings. The timing of the delivery was based on coordination among U.S., Israeli and Iranian officials. In early August 1986, the contact with the Iranian expatriate began to focus exclusively on the willingness of the USG to provide military assistance to Iran in exchange for hostages and we sought to establish different channels of communication which would lead us more directly to pragmatic and moderate elements in the Iranian hierarchy. In mid-August, a private American citizen (MGEN Richard Secord, USAF (Ret.)) acting within the purview of the January Covert Action Finding, made contact in Europe with a relative of a senior Iranian official (Rafsanjani). With the assistance of the CIA, this Iranian was brought covertly to Washington for detailed discussions. We judged this effort to be useful in establishing contact with a close confidant of the man judged to be the most influential and pragmatic political figure in Iran (Rafsanjani). These discussions reaffirmed the basic objectives of the U.S. in seeking a political dialogue with Tehran. We also provided assessments designed to discourage an Iranian offensive and contribute to an Iranian decision to negotiate an end to the war. The assessments also detailed the Soviet threat to Iran. Through August, September, and October 1986, numerous additional meetings were held in Europe between U.S. representatives and the new Iranian contacts. During the October 26, 1986 meeting in Frankfurt, Germany, the U.S. side, as in the past, insisted that the release of the hostages was a prerequisite to any progress. The Iranians, urged that we take a more active role. The Iranians also proffered, and the U.S. accepted, the offer of a Soviet T-72 tank. The Iranians have also offered to provide a copy of the 400 page interrogation of Beirut Station Chief William Buckley. At this meeting, it was stated that there was a ""very good chance that another American or two would be freed soon."" On October 29, with U.S. acquiescence, Israel provided Iran with an additional increment of defensive weapons (500 TOW missiles). Late on October 31, Q called the U.S. citizen (Hakim) tasked to maintain contact and advised that Iran had ""exercised its influence with the Lebanese"" in order to obtain the release of an American (David Jacobsen) and an uncertain number of French hostages. He further noted that this would be part of the purpose of the Iranian Foreign Minister's visit to Syria - an event we became aware of on November 1, 1986. He stated that the situation in Tehran, as well as Iranian influence over Hezbollah, were both deteriorating. On November 2, David Jacobsen was released by his captors near the old American Embassy compound in West Beirut. The U.S. Embassy in East Beirut immediately dispatched an embassy officer to West Beirut to pick up Mr. Jacobsen. To establish contact with Iran and subsequent public speculation regarding these contacts have probably exacerbated the power struggle in Iran between pragmatic elements (led by Rafsanjani) and more radical factions (under the overall sponsorship of Ayatollah Montazeri). In late October, radical supporters (of Montazeri) revealed the (Rafsanjani) contact with the USG and the terms of the contact. In order to defend himself against charges of colluding with the USG and to preserve a degree of latitude for both parties, Majlis Speaker Rafsanjani provided a purposely distorted version of the May 1986 McFarlane mission in his November 4 address to the masses. Moderate Iranian political leaders apparently now feel constrained to settle their internal political problems before proceeding with the U.S. relationship. The revelations in Tehran regarding the McFarlane mission are demonstrable evidence of the internal power struggle. The October 1986 arrest of radical leader Mehdi Hashemi, a close confidant and son-in-law of Ayatollah Montazeri, for acts of terrorism and treason has caused further internal conflict. Resolution of the Lebanon hostage situation is also complicated by waning Iranian influence in Lebanon due in part to financial constraints and the fact that the Libyans are expanding their use of violence and terrorism in the region. On November 7, the day after a meeting with U.S. officials, Iranian government authorities arrested six other individuals involved in radical activities. Among the two were senior military officers and a Majlis deputy (Ahmad Kashani), the grandson of Ayatollah Kashani, a conspirator in the 1949 attempt against the Shah. Despite these internal difficulties and attendant publicity in the Western media, the Iranians continue to maintain direct contact with the USG and met again in Geneva on November 9-16 with NSC and CIA representatives. The two principal Iranian contacts continue to communicate with the U.S. and are concerned that disclosures could harm them personally and the longer-term interests of the two countries. It is important to note that since the initiation of the USG contact with Iran there has been no evidence of Iranian government complicity in acts of terrorism against the U.S. We do not know who seized the last three American hostages in Beirut (Messrs. Reed, Cicippio, and Tracy). The Islamic Jihad Organization (IJO) has disclaimed responsibility - as have our Iranian interlocutors. It is possible that these three individuals are loyal to the now imprisoned Mehdi Hashemi. If so, this could be an effort to undermine the nascent U.S.-Iranian strategic dialogue and exacerbate the internal Iranian power struggle against the pragmatic faction with which we have been in contact. Throughout this process, the USG has acted within the limits of established policy and in compliance with all U.S. law. The shipment of 2,008 U.S. TOWs and 235 HAWK missile electronic spare parts was undertaken within the provisions of a Covert Action Finding. During the course of this operation - and before - the U.S. was cognizant of only three shipments from Israel to Iran, specifically: - The Israelis acknowledged the August 1985 shipment of 208 TOWs after it had taken place. Until we were advised by the Israelis, and had the information subsequently confirmed by Iranian authorities, we were unaware of the composition of the shipment. We subsequently agreed to replace these TOWs in May of 1986. - The November 1985 shipment of 18 Israeli HAWK missiles was at an authorized exception to policy. This shipment was retrieved in February 1986 as a consequence of U.S. intervention. - The October 1986 shipment of 500 TOWs from Israel to Iran was undertaken with U.S. acquiescence. These TOWs were replaced on November 7. In support of this Finding and at the direction of the President, the CIA provided the following operational assistance: - CIA communications officers and an annuitant to assist in various phases of the operation - The operation. -- Sterile overseas bank accounts for financial transactions. -- A secure transhipment point for the dispatch of U.S. military items from the U.S. ~~ Transhipment of military items from the U.S. to Israel. -- Communications and intelligence support for the meetings with Iranian officials and the McFarlane trip to Tehran in May. , vs. TOP, SECRET, cos—seckeh 17 eel ee - Cleared meeting sites in Europe for meetings with Iranian officials. -- Fabricated and alias documentation for U.S. and foreign officials for meetings in Europe and Tehran. The weapons and materials provided under this program were judged to be inadequate to alter either the balance of military power or the outcome of the war with Iraq. They have, however, demonstrated the U.S. commitment to Iranian territorial integrity and served to support those in Iran interested in opening a strategic relationship with the U.S. U.S. efforts over the last 18 months have had tangible results on Iranian policy: - The Rafsanjani/Velayati intervention on behalf of the TWA #847 passengers (June 1985). -- Iranian direction that the hijacked Pan Am #73 would not be received in Iranian territory if it left Karachi. -- The release of three American and at least two French hostages. -- The initiation of an Iranian dialogue with their regional neighbors. -- Continued delay in the Iranian ""final offensive."" Finally, it must also be noted that the U.S. arms embargo notwithstanding, West European nations have provided $500 million a year in military equipment to Iran. Most of these transfers were accomplished with government knowledge and/or acquiescence. All appropriate Cabinet Officers have been apprised throughout. The Congress was not briefed on the covert action Finding due to the extraordinary sensitivity of our Iranian contacts and the potential consequences for our strategic position in Southwest Asia. Finally, our efforts to achieve the release of the hostages in Lebanon must continue to rely on discreet contacts and intermediaries who cannot perform if they are revealed. - Top Secret.",Highly Confidential,DISC_Security,"difficult for Iran to respond positively. The U.S. has responded to these overtures by undertaking a series of initiatives designed to demonstrate to Iran the advantages of resuming direct contact with the U.S. The first of these initiatives was the President's letter to Khomeini on 29 May 1985. This letter was delivered to the Iranians by the Swiss Embassy in Tehran and asked for Iranian help in securing the release of the American hostages in Lebanon. The letter also expressed U.S. interest in improving relations with Iran. The reply to this letter was received on 11 June 1985. In it, the Iranians stated that they were willing to assist in the release of the hostages and that they were interested in improving relations with the U.S. The second initiative was the President's letter to President Khamenei on 17 October 1985. This letter was delivered to the Iranians by the Swiss Embassy in Tehran and reiterated U.S. interest in improving relations with Iran. It also suggested that direct contact might be possible. The reply to this letter was received on 3 November 1985. In it, the Iranians stated that they were interested in improving relations with the U.S. and that they were willing to discuss direct contact. The third initiative was the President's 24 December 1985 message to the Iranian people. This message was broadcast on Radio Liberty and Voice of America. In it, the President expressed his desire to improve U.S./Iranian relations and again suggested that direct contact might be possible. The fourth initiative was the President's 17 January 1986 message to the Iranian people. This message was broadcast on Radio Liberty and Voice of America. In it, the President reiterated his desire to improve U.S./Iranian relations and suggested that direct contact might be possible. The fifth initiative was the President's 7 March 1986 message to the Iranian people. This message was broadcast on Radio Liberty and Voice of America. In it, the President again reiterated his desire to improve U.S./Iranian relations and suggested that direct contact might be possible. The sixth initiative was the President's 16 May 1986 message to the Iranian people. This message was broadcast on Radio Liberty and Voice of America. In it, the President again reiterated his desire to improve U.S./Iranian relations and suggested that direct contact might be possible. The seventh initiative was the President's 13 June 1986 message to the Iranian people. This message was broadcast on Radio Liberty and Voice of America. In it, the President again reiterated his desire to improve U.S./Iranian relations and suggested that direct contact might be possible. yiacirap SECRET 11/20/86 1300 (Historical Chronology) EXHIBIT ONCE U.S./IRANIAN CONTACTS AND THE AMERICAN HOSTAGES From the earliest months following the Islamic revolution in Iran, the U.S. Government has attempted to reestablish official contact with that government in order to discuss strategic developments in this critical part of the world and reconstruct a working relationship. Even before President Reagan came to office the U.S. Government agreed to try to expand security, economic, political, and intelligence relationships at a pace acceptable to Tehran. [In the fall of 1979, the U.S. undertook three secret missions to Tehran: -- September 1979 -QRMBBMBMMMA (met secretly with Bazargan at the request of the Iranians), -- October 1979 = -- October-November 1979 WE, (discussed normalization of relations) when these meetings and the secret November 1, 1979 meeting in Algiers, between Brzezinski and Prime Minister Bazargan, became public in Iran, they helped precipitate the takeover of the U.S. Embassy by radical elements and led to the resignation of the Bazargan government. These events have adversely influenced Iran's subsequent willingness to engage in any direct contact with the USG. Despite mutual difficulties involved in re-establishing normal relations, our strategic interests in the Persian Gulf mandate persistent efforts to establish a dialogue. In this regard, it is notable that only a few major countries do not have relations with Iran -- Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Israel, South Africa, and the United States. Even Iraq continues to have diplomatic relations with Iran. Iran is the key to a region of vital importance to the West, yet it is increasingly threatened by growing Soviet military power and political influence along its borders and inside its territory. Over the course of the last two years, the Soviets and their surrogates have moved actively to gain greater influence in the Gulf: -- The Soviets believe that once Khomeini dies, they will have an excellent opportunity to influence the formation of a government in Tehran that serves Soviet strategic interests in the area. Partially Secret Release Date of 22. Nov 1997 Under provision of E.O. 12958 Under sec. 12356 by S. Berger, National Security Council Declassify On: OADR 2 by NSC NLT -- Communist nations have become the principal arms suppliers to Iran -- making Iran dependent on this source of supply in contending with an increasingly strengthened Iraq. This leads us to the conclusion that the Soviets may well be attempting to pursue their own revolution in Iran. That is, by fueling both sides in the conflict, the Soviets could well encourage a disastrous ""final offensive"" by Iran that would precipitate a political disintegration in Iran, leaving a power vacuum which the Soviets could exploit. Specifically, the indicators of Communist influence in Iran are: The increasing desperation brought on by the costs of the Iran-Iraq war has exacerbated Iran's vulnerability to Soviet influence. Moreover, Soviet designs in Afghanistan, pressure on Pakistan, and actual cross-border strikes in Iran from Afghanistan have made reopening a strategic dialogue increasingly important. In short, the Soviets were far better positioned to improve significantly their influence in the region in 1985 when we were presented with an opportunity to open a dialogue with Iran. In deciding to exploit this opening, we evaluated previous efforts through more conventional channels which had not succeeded. About two years ago, senior Iranian officials apparently decided that some accommodation with the U.S. was necessary. Since 1983 various countries have been engaged in overtures to the U.S. and Iran in an effort to stimulate direct contact. However, internal splits and debates made it difficult for Iran to respond positively. The U.S. has responded to these overtures by undertaking a series of initiatives designed to demonstrate to Iran the advantages of resuming direct contact with the U.S. The first of these initiatives was the President's letter to Khomeini on 29 May 1985. This letter was delivered to the Iranians by the Swiss Embassy in Tehran and asked for Iranian help in securing the release of the American hostages in Lebanon. The letter also expressed U.S. interest in improving relations with Iran. The reply to this letter was received on 11 June 1985. In it, the Iranians difficult Iranians to respond to these overtures. for the Numerous individuals and private parties have Likewise attempted to be helpful as intermediaries in establishing contact in Iran or in seeking Iranian assistance in the release of our citizens held hostage in Lebanon. . rc : an In the spring of 1985, a private American citizen (Michael Ledeen) learned from an Israeli government official (David Kimche) that the Israelis had established a liaison relationship with an Iranian expatriate (Manuchehr Ghorbanifar) in Europe who sought Israeli help in establishing contact with the U.S. Government. In acknowledging the need to demonstrate the bonafides of the Iranian officials involved, he (Ghorbanifar) indicated that his ""sponsors"" in Tehran could also help to resolve the American hostage situation in Beirut. In June of 1983, in the midst of the TWA-847 hijacking, the Israeli officials in direct contact with the Iranian expatriate asked him to use his influence with senior Iranian officials to obtain the release of the hijacked passengers. Two days after this approach, four Americans held separately from the rest of the hijacked passengers were freed and turned over to Syrian authorities. Majlis Speaker Rafsanjani, who was travelling in the Middle East at the time, and Iranian Foreign Minister Velayati both intervened with the captors. Rafsanjani, in his speech on November 4, 1986, for the first time publicly acknowledged his role in this matter. H SEC On July 1, 1985, during a visit to Washington, an Israeli official (Kimche) advised National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane that Israel had established a channel of communication with authoritative elements in Iran who were interested in determining whether the United States was open to a discreet, high-level dialogue. The Iranians were described as comprising the principal figures of the government (i.e., Speaker of the Majlis Rafsanjani, Prime Minister Musavi, and Khomeini's heir-apparent, Ayatollah Montazeri) and as being devoted to a reorientation of Iranian policy. At this first meeting, McFarlane went to great lengths to draw out the Israeli as to why he found the Iranian proposal credible, given the events of the past six years. The Israeli replied that their exhaustive analysis had gone beyond the surface logic deriving from the chaos and decline within Iran and the degenerative effects of the war, to more concrete tests of the willingness of the Iranians to take personal risks. He noted that the Iranians had exposed themselves to possible compromise by meeting with Israelis and by passing extremely sensitive intelligence on the situation (and political line-up) within Iran - information which was proven valid. The Israeli asked for our position on opening such a dialogue. No mention was made of any pre-conditions or Iranian priorities. McFarlane conveyed this proposal to the President in the presence of the Chief of Staff. The President said that he believed such a dialogue would be worthwhile at least to the point of determining the validity of the interlocutors. This decision was passed to the Israeli diplomat by telephone on July 30. On August 2, 1985, the Israeli called again on McFarlane. At this meeting, he stated that he had conveyed our position to the Iranian intermediary and that the Iranians had responded that they recognized the need for both sides to have tangible evidence of the bona fides of the other and that they believed they could affect the release of the Americans held hostage in Lebanon. According to the Israeli, the Iranians separately stated that they were vulnerable as a group and before having any prospect of being able to affect change within Iran, they would need to be substantially strengthened. To do so, they would need to secure the cooperation of military and/or Revolutionary Guard leaders. Toward this end, they expressed the view that the most credible demonstration of their strength would be the release of the hostages in Lebanon. tion of their influence and abilities would be to secure limited amounts of U.S. equipment. The Israeli asked for our position on such actions. TOF SECRET: « UivgoASeoRE) Mr. McFarlane elevated this proposition to the President at a meeting within days that included the Secretaries of State and Defense and the Director of Central Intelligence. The President stated that, while he could understand that assuming the legitimacy of the interlocutors, they would be quite vulnerable and ultimately might deserve our support to include tangible 'materiel; at the time, without any first hand experience in dealing with them, he could “not authorize any transfers of military materiel. This was conveyed to the Israeli. On August 22, 1985, the Israeli diplomat called once more to report that the message had been conveyed and that an impasse of confidence existed. He asked what the Position of the U.S. Government would be to an Israeli transfer of modest quantities of defensive military materiel. McFarlane replied that to him, such an action would represent a distinction without a difference. The Israeli diplomat explained at great length that Israel had its own policy interests that would be served by fostering such a dialogue in behalf of the U.S., but that a problem would arise when ultimately they needed to replace the materiel shipped. He asked whether Israel would be able to purchase replacements for items they chose to ship. McFarlane stated that the issue was not the ability of Israel to purchase military equipment from the U.S. - they had done so for a generation and would do so in the future - but rather the issue was whether it was U.S. policy to ship or allow others to ship military equipment to Iran. The Israeli asked for a position from our government. McFarlane elevated the question to the President (and to the Secretaries of State and Defense and the Director of Central Intelligence). The President stated that, while he could envision providing materiel support to moderate elements in Iran if all the Western hostages were freed, he could not approve any transfer of military materiel at that time. This position was conveyed to the Israeli diplomat. On September 14, 1985, Reverend Benjamin Weir was released in Syria by the Islamic Jihad Organization. This release was preceded by an intense effort on the part of Mr. Ter Waite, the Special Emissary of the Archbishop of Canterbury. To this date, Mr. Waite remains the only Westerner ever to meet directly with the Lebanese kidnappers. SEE Man crtri eae Qacee s meer tapes In late September, we learned that the Israelis had transferred 508 TOW missiles to Iran and that this shipment had taken place in late August. The Israelis told us that they undertook the action, despite our objections, because they believed it to be in their strategic interests. The Israelis managed this entire operation, to include delivery arrangements, funding, and transportation. After discussing this matter with the President, it was decided not to expose this Israeli delivery because we wanted to retain the option of exploiting the existing Israeli channel with Tehran in our own effort to establish a strategic dialogue with the Iranian government. The total value of the 508 TOWs shipped by Israel was estimated to be less than $2 million. On October 4, 1985, Islamic Jihad announced that it had “executed Beirut Station Chief William Buckley in retaliation for the October 1 Israeli air raid on PLO installations in Tunis. This announcement led to a series of meetings in Europe among the U.S. (CIA and NSC), Israeli, and Iranian intermediaries. In these meetings, the Iranians indicated that, while their ability to influence the Hizballah was waning, the Hizballah had not killed Buckley; he had in fact died several months earlier of natural causes. We have since substantiated this claim. to Israel). After further discussions, the Israelis agreed that we would explore the possibility of providing a limited number of HAWK missiles to Iran. The Israelis were convinced that this was the only way to secure the release of the U.S. hostages and the beginning of a U.S.-Iranian dialogue. The U.S. agreed to explore this possibility and on January 17, 1986, the President signed a ‘presidential finding authorizing the CIA to explore the delivery of the requested number of HAWK missiles to Iran. This information briefing of Father Venco and David Jacobsen, both of whom indicate that Buckley probably died on June 3, 1985 of Pneumonia-like Symptoms. In mid-November, the Israelis, through a senior officer in the Prime Minister's office (Amiram Nir), indicated that the Government of Israel was convinced that they were nearing a breakthrough with Iran on a high-level dialogue. The Israeli asked a U.S. official (North) for the name of a European-based airline which could discreetly transport passengers and cargo to Iran for the purpose of delivering them. We were assured, at the time, that the Israelis were going to ""try oil drilling parts as an incentive,"" since we had expressed so much displeasure over the earlier TOW shipment. The name of the proprietary was passed to the Israeli, who subsequently had the aircraft chartered through normal commercial contract for a flight from Los Angeles to Tel Aviv to Tabriz, Iran, on November 25, 1985. In January, we learned that the Israelis, responding to urgent entreaties from the Iranians, used the aircraft to transport 18 HAWK missiles to Iran in an effort to improve the static air defenses around Tehran. The Israelis were unaware of the CIA's involvement in the airline and the airline was paid at the normal commercial rate (approximately $127,700). The airline personnel were also unaware of the cargo they were transporting. The Israeli delivery of HAWK missiles raised serious U.S. concerns that these deliveries were jeopardizing our objective of arranging a direct meeting with high-level Iranian officials. As a consequence of U.S. initiative and by mutual agreement of all three parties, these missiles were subsequently returned to Israel in February 1986. On December 7, the President convened a meeting in the White House to discuss next steps in our efforts to establish direct contact with the Iranians. Attending the meeting were the Chief of Staff, Secretaries of State and Defense, the Deputy Director of Central Intelligence, and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and his Deputy. Immediately after the meeting, Mr. McFarlane departed for London to meet with the Israeli official and the Iranian contact to make clear the nature of our interest in a dialogue with Iran. At this meeting, Mr. McFarlane, as instructed by the President, stated that: - the U.S. was open to a political dialogue with Iran, but that no such dialogue could make progress for as long as groups seen as dominated by Iran held U.S. hostages; and - the U.S. could under no circumstances transfer arms to Iran in exchange for hostages. These points were made directly to the Iranian interlocutor. The Iranian replied that, unless his associates in Tehran were strengthened, they could not risk going ahead with the dialogue. Mr. McFarlane acknowledged the position but stated we could not change our position. In a separate meeting with the Israeli official, Mr. McFarlane made clear our strong objections to the Israeli shipment of the TOW missiles. Following these meetings, Mr. McFarlane returned to Washington and shortly thereafter left active government service. On January 2, the Prime Minister of Israel dispatched a special emissary to the U.S. (Amiram Nir) to review proposals for next steps in dealing with Iran. The Israelis urged that we reconsider the issue of providing limited defensive arms to those attempting to take power in Tehran, since all other incentives (economic assistance, medical supplies, machine parts) were of no value in shoring up those who wanted an opening to the West. Admiral Poindexter noted our stringent objections to the HAWK missile shipments in November and noted that the U.S. would have to ask for them to be returned (a step undertaken in February, when all 18 missiles were returned to Israel). After further discussions, the Israelis agreed that we would explore the possibility of providing a limited number of HAWK missiles to Iran. The Israelis were convinced that this was the only way to secure the release of the U.S. hostages and the beginning of a U.S.-Iranian dialogue. The U.S. agreed to explore this possibility and on January 17, 1986, the President signed a presidential finding authorizing the CIA to explore the delivery of the requested number of HAWK missiles to Iran. ted to Israeli). In that any implementation of the Israeli proposals would require the active participation of the intelligence community, the NSC Staff (North) was tasked to prepare a covert action finding. Work on this Presidential finding commenced on January 4. On January 6, the President, the Vice President, the Chief of Staff, and the National Security Advisor and his assistant reviewed the first draft of the Finding and the recommendations made by the Prime Minister of Israel through his special emissary, On January 7, the President met in the Oval Office with the Vice President, the Chief of Staff, Secretaries Shultz and Weinberger, Attorney General Meese, Director Casey, and the National Security ee TOP SECRET - UiVbTORUEREL FOR_SECRET— s Advisor to discuss the overall situation in Iran and prospects for a strategic dialogue. It was again noted that Mr. McFarlane on return from his trip to London, had recommended that no further action be taken unless a mechanism could be established by which the U.S. could exert better control over events. He agreed, in principle, with Director Casey that providing limited quantities of defensive arms after the hostages were released still had merit. Both Secretary Shultz and Secretary Weinberger objected to any provision of arms, citing that we could not be sure that these would really help moderate elements and that, if exposed, the project would not be understood by moderate Arabs and would be seen as contravening our policy of not dealing with states that support terrorism. The President decided that we should attempt to keep the Israeli channel active as long as it offered possibilities for meetings with high-level Iranian officials and left open the issue of providing defensive arms to Iran if all the hostages were released. It was further determined by the President that any dialogue with the Iranians must be aimed at achieving the following goals: -- Devising a formula for re-establishing a strategic relationship with Tehran. - Ending the Iran-Iraq War on honorable terms. - Convincing Iran to cease its support for terrorism and radical subversion. - Helping ensure the territorial integrity of Iran and coordinating ways in which we might counter Soviet activities in the region. The President made clear that a Western dialogue with Iran would be precluded unless Iran were willing to use its influence to achieve the release of Western hostages in Beirut. He also made clear that we could not and would not engage in trading arms for hostages. Secretaries Shultz and Weinberger retained their original position on providing any arms to Iran, but Attorney General Meese and Director Casey both supported the concept as a valid means of opening the dialogue. Attorney General Meese noted a 1981 determination by then Attorney General French Smith that transferring small quantities of arms through third countries under a Covert Action Finding was not illegal. t 7 ~— Ws, 2& - - x Hind to eat e On January 16, a meeting was held in the National Security Advisor's office with Secretary Weinberger, Attorney General Meese, Director Casey, and CIA General Counsel Stanley Sporkin. At this meeting, the final draft of the Covert Action Finding was reviewed and was forwarded to the President with Secretary Weinberger dissenting. On January 17, 1986, the President approved a Covert Action Finding (Tab A) directing that the intelligence community proceed with special activities aimed at accomplishing the goals set forth above. The President further determined that the activities authorized by the Finding justified withholding prior Congressional notification due to the extreme sensitivity of the dialogue being established. He further noted that public knowledge of the program would place the American hostages in Lebanon at greater risk. Noting his concern for the lives of those carrying out the operation (both U.S. and foreign), he directed that the Director of Central Intelligence take all necessary steps to ensure their safety. action to improve relations with Iran. He said that the Iranians were prepared to see a U.S. delegation in Tehran, but that the initiative for a meeting should come from Washington, He added that the Iranians were prepared to discuss the release of all hostages, but that they would not make the first move, The intermediary also urged that the U.S. take immediate steps to restrain Iraq, noting that Iran had the capability to strike American targets in the region. Central Intelligence refrain from reporting the Finding to the appropriate committees of the Congress until reasonably sure that those involved would no longer be in jeopardy. On February 5-7, U.S. officials (NSC and CIA), a representative of the Israeli Prime Minister (Amiram Nir), and a senior-level Iranian official met in London. At this meeting, the Iranians agreed that the USG would provide defensive weapons (TOWs) to Iran, and they would, in turn, provide the same to the Afghan Mujahideen. The U.S. side agreed to explore this possibility and, working with the Israelis, established the following mechanism for transfer of the weapons: -- The Iranian intermediary (Ghorbanifar) would deposit funds in an Israeli account. -- The Israelis would transfer funds to a sterile U.S.-controlled account in an overseas bank. -- Using these funds, the CIA would covertly obtain material authorized for transfer from U.S. military stocks and transport this to Israel for onward movement to Iran. Using the procedures stipulated above, $3.7 million was deposited in the CIA account in Geneva on February 11, 1986 and on February 14, 1,600 TOWs were transported to Israel for pre-positioning. These TOWs were transferred by CIA from DOD (U.S. Army stocks in Anniston, Alabama) and transported through EREPINERIOS 5.55 standard CTA. 000 RRUEMEREERY 5152 55 arrangements. Policy-level coordination for these arrangements was effected by NSC (North) with Poo (Armitage) and CIA (Clair George). The TOWs were placed in a covert Israeli facility awaiting onward shipment. On February 19-21, U.S. (NSC and CIA), Israeli and Iranian officials met in Germany to discuss problems in arranging a meeting among higher-level officials. At this meeting, the Iranians committed to a secret dialogue with the United States along the lines of our established goals. We believe that the Iranians were stimulated to renew the contact by the April 17 murder of hostage Peter Kilburn in retaliation for the U.S. On May 6-7, 1986, U.S. and Israeli officers met in London with the Iranian intermediary in which he urged that we take immediate action to improve relations with Iran. He said that the Iranians were prepared to see a U.S. delegation in Tehran, but that the initiative for a meeting should come from Washington. He added that the Iranians were prepared to discuss the release of all hostages, but that they would not make the first move. The intermediary also urged that the U.S. take immediate steps to restrain Iraq, noting that Iran had the capability to strike American targets in the region. PS to arrange for a high-level U.S./Iranian meeting in Tehran. During the London meeting, the Iranian urged that we (U.S. and Israel) take immediate steps to help with Iranian air defense. He emphasized that the Iraqi Air Force was increasingly effective of late and that the Iranians were desperate to stop attacks on population centers. The Israelis also used this opportunity to privately ask the U.S. to replace the $03 TOWs which they had sent to Iran in August, 1985. The Israelis were informed via coded message on May 15 that the U.S. had agreed to the Iranian request for limited anti-air defense equipment and to replenish the 508 TOWs sent by Israel. Based on assurances that we could at last meet face-to-face with top-level Iranian officials, on May 15, the President authorized a secret mission to Tehran by former National Security Advisor McFarlane, accompanied by a CIA annuitant, CIA communicators, members of the NSC staff, and the Israeli and Iranian interlocutors. On May 16, the Iranians, through the Israelis, provided $6.5M for deposit in the CIA secure funding mechanism. The funds were used to acquire $08 TOW missiles (for replenishing the TOWs Israel shipped in September 1985) and acquiring HAWK missile electronic spare parts. This material was subsequently moved, repackaged, and shipped to Kelly AFB for onward movement to Israel on May 22. As in the February shipment, the CIA provided logistics support for the movement of this material to Israel. In order to ensure operational security, the McFarlane trip was made from Israel, coincident with the delivery of a pallet of spare parts for Iranian defensive weapons systems (HAWK spare electronic parts). At the request of the Iranians, In the course of the four-day (May 25-29) visit, lengthy meetings were held with high-level Iranian officials, the first direct contact between the two governments in over six years. Mr. McFarlane and his team were able to establish the basis for a continuing relationship and clearly articulate our objectives, concerns, and intentions. The group was also able to assess firsthand the internal political dynamic in Tehran and the effect of the war which Iran clearly can no longer win. Using Presidentially approved Terms of Reference (Tab 8), which had been reviewed and approved by appropriate Cabinet officers, McFarlane emphasized that our interest in Iran transcended the hostages, but the continued detention of hostages by a Lebanese group philosophically aligned with Iran prevented progress. During the visit, Mr. McFarlane made clear: -- that we fundamentally opposed Iranian efforts to expel us from the Middle East; -- that we firmly opposed their use of terrorism; -- that we accepted their revolution and did not seek to reverse it; -- that we had numerous other disagreements involving regional policies (i.e., Lebanon, Nicaragua, etc.), but might also find areas of common interest (i.e., Afghanistan and the Soviet threat to the Gulf) through dialogue. During these meetings, both sides used the opportunity to detail the obstacles to implementing a strategic relationship between the two countries. In addition to the points noted above, Mr. McFarlane emphasized the political problems caused by Iranian involvement in the hostage issue. The Iranians objected to the USG embargo on U.S. military supplies already paid for, plus the continued USG blocking of Iranian assets in the U.S., even after U.S. courts had ruled in their favor. During the course of these meetings, the Iranian officials admitted that they could not win the war, but were in a dilemma in Tehran over how to end it. to open a dialogue with Iran through various channels were successful in securing the release of American hostages. However, the conflict given the need to present an Iranian ""victory"" before it could be concluded. They emphasized that the original aggressor, Saddam Hussein, must be removed from power in order for the war to end. Mr. McFarlane concluded the visit by summarizing that notwithstanding Iranian interest in carrying on with the dialogue, ""we could not proceed with further discussions in light of their unwillingness to exert the full weight of their influence to cause the release of the Western hostages in Lebanon. On June 10, Majlis Speaker Rafsanjani, in a speech in Tehran made guarded reference to Iranian interest in improved relations with the U.S. On July 26, Father Lawrence Jenco was released in the Bekaa Valley and found his way to a Syrian military checkpoint. On August 3, the remaining three pallets (less than 4 planeload) of electronic parts for Iranian anti-aircraft defenses (HAWK missile sub-components) arrived in Tehran. As in all flights to/from Iran this delivery was made with an Israeli Air Force aircraft (707) using false flag markings. The timing of the delivery was based on coordination among U.S., Israeli and Iranian officials. In early August 1986, the contact with the Iranian expatriate began to focus exclusively on the willingness of the USG to provide military assistance to Iran in exchange for hostages and we sought to establish different channels of communication which would lead us more directly to pragmatic and moderate elements in the Iranian hierarchy. In mid-August, a private American citizen (MGEN Richard Secord, USAF (Ret.)) acting within the purview of the January Covert Action Finding, made contact in Europe with a relative of a senior Iranian official (Rafsanjani). With the assistance of the CIA, this Iranian was brought covertly to Washington for detailed discussions. We judged this effort to be useful in establishing contact with a close confidant of the man judged to be the most influential and pragmatic political figure in Iran (Rafsanjani). These discussions reaffirmed the basic objectives of the U.S. in seeking a political dialogue with Tehran. We also provided assessments designed to discourage an Iranian offensive and contribute to an Iranian decision to negotiate an end to the war. The assessments also detailed the Soviet threat to Iran. Through August, September, and October 1986, numerous additional meetings were held in Europe between U.S. representatives and the new Iranian contacts. During the October 26, 1986 meeting in Frankfurt, Germany, the U.S. side, as in the past, insisted that the release of the hostages was a prerequisite to any progress. The Iranians, urged that we take a more active role. The Iranians also proffered, and the U.S. accepted, the offer of a Soviet T-72 tank. The Iranians have also offered to provide a copy of the 400 page interrogation of Beirut Station Chief William Buckley. At this meeting, it was stated that there was a ""very good chance that another American or two would be freed soon."" On October 29, with U.S. acquiescence, Israel provided Iran with an additional increment of defensive weapons (500 TOW missiles). Late on October 31, Q called the U.S. citizen (Hakim) tasked to maintain contact and advised that Iran had ""exercised its influence with the Lebanese"" in order to obtain the release of an American (David Jacobsen) and an uncertain number of French hostages. He further noted that this would be part of the purpose of the Iranian Foreign Minister's visit to Syria - an event we became aware of on November 1, 1986. He stated that the situation in Tehran, as well as Iranian influence over Hezbollah, were both deteriorating. On November 2, David Jacobsen was released by his captors near the old American Embassy compound in West Beirut. The U.S. Embassy in East Beirut immediately dispatched an embassy officer to West Beirut to pick up Mr. Jacobsen. To establish contact with Iran and subsequent public speculation regarding these contacts have probably exacerbated the power struggle in Iran between pragmatic elements (led by Rafsanjani) and more radical factions (under the overall sponsorship of Ayatollah Montazeri). In late October, radical supporters (of Montazeri) revealed the (Rafsanjani) contact with the USG and the terms of the contact. In order to defend himself against charges of colluding with the USG and to preserve a degree of latitude for both parties, Majlis Speaker Rafsanjani provided a purposely distorted version of the May 1986 McFarlane mission in his November 4 address to the masses. Moderate Iranian political leaders apparently now feel constrained to settle their internal political problems before proceeding with the U.S. relationship. The revelations in Tehran regarding the McFarlane mission are demonstrable evidence of the internal power struggle. The October 1986 arrest of radical leader Mehdi Hashemi, a close confidant and son-in-law of Ayatollah Montazeri, for acts of terrorism and treason has caused further internal conflict. Resolution of the Lebanon hostage situation is also complicated by waning Iranian influence in Lebanon due in part to financial constraints and the fact that the Libyans are expanding their use of violence and terrorism in the region. On November 7, the day after a meeting with U.S. officials, Iranian government authorities arrested six other individuals involved in radical activities. Among the two were senior military officers and a Majlis deputy (Ahmad Kashani), the grandson of Ayatollah Kashani, a conspirator in the 1949 attempt against the Shah. Despite these internal difficulties and attendant publicity in the Western media, the Iranians continue to maintain direct contact with the USG and met again in Geneva on November 9-16 with NSC and CIA representatives. The two principal Iranian contacts continue to communicate with the U.S. and are concerned that disclosures could harm them personally and the longer-term interests of the two countries. It is important to note that since the initiation of the USG contact with Iran there has been no evidence of Iranian government complicity in acts of terrorism against the U.S. We do not know who seized the last three American hostages in Beirut (Messrs. Reed, Cicippio, and Tracy). The Islamic Jihad Organization (IJO) has disclaimed responsibility - as have our Iranian interlocutors. It is possible that these three individuals are loyal to the now imprisoned Mehdi Hashemi. If so, this could be an effort to undermine the nascent U.S.-Iranian strategic dialogue and exacerbate the internal Iranian power struggle against the pragmatic faction with which we have been in contact. Throughout this process, the USG has acted within the limits of established policy and in compliance with all U.S. law. The shipment of 2,008 U.S. TOWs and 235 HAWK missile electronic spare parts was undertaken within the provisions of a Covert Action Finding. During the course of this operation - and before - the U.S. was cognizant of only three shipments from Israel to Iran, specifically: - The Israelis acknowledged the August 1985 shipment of 208 TOWs after it had taken place. Until we were advised by the Israelis, and had the information subsequently confirmed by Iranian authorities, we were unaware of the composition of the shipment. We subsequently agreed to replace these TOWs in May of 1986. - The November 1985 shipment of 18 Israeli HAWK missiles was at an authorized exception to policy. This shipment was retrieved in February 1986 as a consequence of U.S. intervention. - The October 1986 shipment of 500 TOWs from Israel to Iran was undertaken with U.S. acquiescence. These TOWs were replaced on November 7. In support of this Finding and at the direction of the President, the CIA provided the following operational assistance: - CIA communications officers and an annuitant to assist in various phases of the operation - The operation. -- Sterile overseas bank accounts for financial transactions. -- A secure transhipment point for the dispatch of U.S. military items from the U.S. ~~ Transhipment of military items from the U.S. to Israel. -- Communications and intelligence support for the meetings with Iranian officials and the McFarlane trip to Tehran in May. , vs. TOP, SECRET, cos—seckeh 17 eel ee - Cleared meeting sites in Europe for meetings with Iranian officials. -- Fabricated and alias documentation for U.S. and foreign officials for meetings in Europe and Tehran. The weapons and materials provided under this program were judged to be inadequate to alter either the balance of military power or the outcome of the war with Iraq. They have, however, demonstrated the U.S. commitment to Iranian territorial integrity and served to support those in Iran interested in opening a strategic relationship with the U.S. U.S. efforts over the last 18 months have had tangible results on Iranian policy: - The Rafsanjani/Velayati intervention on behalf of the TWA #847 passengers (June 1985). -- Iranian direction that the hijacked Pan Am #73 would not be received in Iranian territory if it left Karachi. -- The release of three American and at least two French hostages. -- The initiation of an Iranian dialogue with their regional neighbors. -- Continued delay in the Iranian ""final offensive."" Finally, it must also be noted that the U.S. arms embargo notwithstanding, West European nations have provided $500 million a year in military equipment to Iran. Most of these transfers were accomplished with government knowledge and/or acquiescence. All appropriate Cabinet Officers have been apprised throughout. The Congress was not briefed on the covert action Finding due to the extraordinary sensitivity of our Iranian contacts and the potential consequences for our strategic position in Southwest Asia. Finally, our efforts to achieve the release of the hostages in Lebanon must continue to rely on discreet contacts and intermediaries who cannot perform if they are revealed. - Top Secret."

POSITION: Vice Chairman, Chinese Communist Party Central Committee (CCP/CC), since July 1977. Vice Chairman, Military Commission, CCP/CC, since July 1977. Chief of the General Staff Department, since July 1977. Vice Premier of the State Council, since July 1977. Chairman, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, since March 1978. (U) 1978 SIGNIFICANCE: One of China’s most controversial figures, Deng appears to be the motivating force behind China’s current policies on military development, science and technology, and education. Deng’s influence extends through the national and into the regional levels of China’s governmental structure through ties with military and civilian leaders. POLITICS: It appears that the relationship between Deng and Chairman Hua Guofeng has stabilized, with Deng securing his position as the nation’s leading policymaker. Deng has always had China’s main interests at heart and, even though he may have enough power to remove Hua, must realize that instability in the highest levels of government could cause chaos throughout the nation. Although Hua’s control over the government is probably growing stronger, he wields neither the power necessary to remove Deng nor would he wish to do so. Deng has become a symbol for the popular economic and military programs that are being utilized to mobilize the country to attain prescribed modernization goals. Hua had instituted many of these programs when he took over the government after the purge of the ""Gang of Four"" in October 1976. Apparently, both men agree on the general direction of China’s economic and military development and, therefore, it seems likely that they are working in tandem. If Hua is willing to accept Deng as the nation’s primary policymaker, and if Deng is willing to allow Hua the visibility that his role as the Chinese Communist Party Chairman requires, the situation may work to the advantage of both men and the nation. During his remaining time in government, the forceful Deng can provide the motivation that the country needs in order to achieve its initial modernization goals. At the same time, Hua will be given the chance to learn from Deng, develop his own skills, consolidate his base of support, and provide the stability necessary for the country to achieve its long-range modernization goals.

I have thoroughly gone through your case and can well understand your genuine health concerns. 1. No, there is not much problem right now as he vomited and also had a lot of water. 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. If he feels short of breath contact me back, otherwise fine. 1. He should avoid re-exposure. 2. Rule out if there is some sort of suicidal ideation due to depression or anxiety and take him to a psychiatrist for physical evaluation.

We are based in Greater Noida which is in the outskirts of Delhi.Since he was five years old he as been suffering from asthma whenever there is season change during March/April and October during which he generally starts getting allergic cold. I used to earlier give him Asthalin inhaler but since last 4-5 years he is using Levolin inhaler to resolve the attack.

VANCE SECRET" "Indochina Background A PRC military delegation headed by a Vice Defense Minister visited Hanoi for two weeks in early March, just before the all-out North Vietnamese offensive. We do not know what was discussed during this visit. No public announcement was made at its conclusion which would indicate increased Chinese military or economic aid for Hanoi. We are reasonably certain that Beijing did not encourage the North Vietnamese to press their military campaign against the South; but at the same time, we do not think the Chinese pressured Hanoi to stay its hand. In short, Beijing probably adopted a rather passive attitude, feeling that a combination of inaction on our part and the weakness of the Saigon government foreordained a victory for Hanoi, and that the costs to them of overtly objecting to the North Vietnamese offensive were prohibitive in terms of future Chinese influence in Indochina and with ""third world"" countries. At the same time, we have received multiple indications from diplomatic and CIA reporting that Beijing's relations with Hanoi are rather strained. North Vietnamese officials have expressed bitterness in diplomatic contacts about the Chinese takeover of the Paracel Islands in early 1974, and about limited PRC military and economic assistance - which they contrast with generous Soviet support. Beijing now faces a difficult situation in Indochina. PRC leaders are probably concerned that continuing Vietnamese expansion into Laos and Cambodia, pressure on Thailand, and encouragement of instability elsewhere in the region will impinge on Chinese influence and give Moscow new openings in Southeast Asia. Since the fall of Saigon, Beijing has clearly signaled its interest in a stabilization of the current situation. Its message of congratulations to the Vietnamese stressed the division between the DRV and the successful insurgents in the south, who were said to face the difficult tasks of ""carrying through their national and democratic revolution."" This was a way of saying that the Chinese do not want Hanoi to rapidly incorporate the south into the DRV. As well, Beijing has downplayed recent developments in Indochina as being a defeat for the U.S. In Cambodia, Beijing was unwilling to facilitate a negotiated resolution of the conflict, and failed to respond to your diplomatic initiatives of December and January. The Chinese have sought to build up Sihanouk's position in the wake of the collapse of the Lon Nol government without any apparent success. We believe they will try to sustain a position for the Prince in order to limit Hanoi's influence (as well as that of the Soviets) and limit the spill-over effect into Laos and Thailand. In discussing Indochina developments, you should stress (a) our mutual interest in seeing the current situation stabilized, so as to limit Soviet opportunities in the region, (b) our desire to go beyond ""Vietnam"" to the central issues in our foreign policy, yet the fact that domestic political forces stimulated by recent developments will complicate this effort, and (c) your interest in PRC views on recent developments. Indochina Talking Points: - We recognize that developments in Vietnam and Cambodia have complicated our foreign policy tasks, but we are determined to continue playing a strong international role and remain confident that we can do so. - We assume that we share an interest in seeing the evolution of independent states in Indochina. What do you see as the prospects for the Provisional Revolutionary Government in Vietnam? It is our impression that Hanoi has particularly warm feelings for Moscow. At this time, we are concerned that Hanoi is now in the process of overthrowing the coalition arrangement in Laos. This will raise questions in many people's minds about the value of agreements signed with communist governments.

The Chinese officials accompanying us were at pains to point out that this was the first time since the establishment of the People's Republic that a foreign visitor had been allowed to enter the Forbidden City on a Sunday. This may have been an exaggeration, but it was clear that the Chinese had gone to great lengths to make the point that we were being shown something of special importance. -- The Chinese were obviously very pleased with the way in which you had received the Chinese Table Tennis Team in the White House. The Chinese media gave extensive coverage to this event, and it was mentioned to us on several occasions by our Chinese hosts. TOP SECRET /SENSITIVE - Overall, there was a noticeable increase in the level of openness and warmth in our interactions with the Chinese. This was reflected in their body language, tone of voice, and overall demeanor. It was clear that there had been a significant shift in the atmosphere and tone of our relationship with China, and this was a positive development for both countries. In conclusion, I believe that my trip to Peking was a great success in terms of improving the atmosphere and tone of our relationship with China. The Chinese were much more open and friendly than on previous visits, and they seemed genuinely pleased to be engaging with us. I am confident that this positive momentum will continue in the future and lead to further progress in our relationship with China. Henry A. Kissinger nds of Chinese were present. My host this time was the Vice Foreign Minister. In each case it was very evident that we were expected to be seen by the average Chinese in company with senior PRC officials and in effect were being put on display. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE EXCLUSIVELY EYES ONLY The presence of military personnel on the streets of Peking and in the rural areas seen by members of my staff (during a drive through the countryside) provided further evidence of a recent major redeployment of military units from South to North China to face the Soviet border. Other intelligence sources have suggested that these military units are being broken down into small groups and emplaced in villages throughout the northern provinces as part of the PRC's ""people's war"" strategy to oppose the Russian threat. There was also significant construction evident throughout Peking, indicating the PRC's desire to modernize and catch up with the West in cultural and economic terms. Their desire to remove impediments to trade with the U.S., and the attempt to develop a major export market for their traditional handicrafts - which was said by one Chinese official to be the purpose of the handicrafts exhibit we were taken to - indicate their serious intent to sustain their acquisition of Western technology. In cultural terms, there was the unprecedented event of treating us to an evening of symphonic music, which included a Beethoven symphony, an original Chinese piano concerto, and Mao's poetry set to Western musical forms. This gives evidence of PRC interest in reaching out to the West in a way that combines acceptance of foreign material and artistic culture, but with adaptation of China's traditional culture to the modern world. This trend is all the more striking when compared to the themes of hostility to the West and China's traditional culture of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of only seven or eight years ago. The Chinese also made a clear effort to showcase our meeting and strengthen the perception of improved relations between our two countries. The meeting was featured on the front page of the newspaper, with a two-thirds of the page article. Over ten minutes of the evening television news broadcast were devoted to coverage of our meeting with Mao, my arrival in Peking, and my first substantive meeting with Chou En-lai. These were the lead news items. The people of Peking appeared more relaxed than I had been able to judge from earlier visits. Several members of my staff were able to get off our usual guest house-Great Hall of the People motorcade route to penetrate much deeper into the city, and saw a much more typical Chinese environment than ever before. Our access to the people has of course been very limited and changes, if any, are hard to assess, but at the least a less tense environment than we had suspected became evident on this visit. For the first time, members of the party were allowed to converse directly in Chinese with ""the people"" at a rural commune and to meet a presumably typical three-generation family in their simple home. A small contingent of the party was driven through the two diplomatic compounds in Peking, and to the site of the former residence of one member, ""for nostalgia's sake."" There can be no doubt from the foregoing that the Chinese wanted me to know that they were very favorably disposed toward you and your Administration following the signing of the Vietnam agreement and that a new stage had been reached in US-PRC relations.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your situation and problem. Any kind of smoke (whether it's cigarette smoke or hookah smoke) can cause irritation in the airways. This irritation can sometimes produce inflammatory reaction and edema and cause bronchitis. This bronchitis is the main reason for trouble breathing, cough, expectoration etc. So better to quit hookah smoking as soon as possible. Consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis but it will also tell you about severity of the disease. And treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid. Don't worry, you will be alright, but first quit smoking as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern.In my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases for your symptoms.So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.You are already having anxiety. So worsening of stress and anxiety are more likely for your symptoms.So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.You may need anxiolytic drugs too.Don't worry, you will be alright, but first rule out heart diseases.Hope I have solved your query.

She had taken my blood sample and it was negative. But, still I have not gotten my periods and it has been a week ahead. What could be the reason for my late periods? Hello. As the serum beta hCG levels are less than 3 mIU/mL, the pregnancy is definitely ruled out. The delay in the menses is mostly due to sex induced stress after the first time when reproductive hormones readjust themselves. The menses can get delayed even up to two weeks, so just wait for another week and they should arrive. If not, then you can safely opt for a progesterone withdrawal to resume menses.

I do not want him to go bacl to the ER. Hello dear,Thank you for your contact to health care magic.I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.Yes, it is likely that the infection is caused by the resistant organism. It requires change in the antibiotics. So in my opinion you should visit the nearby doctors and change the antibiotics as per your biological condition.Your stomach problem is related to the gastritis caused by the antibiotics. Appropriate anti acidity drug can cure your problem. You can take the pantoprazole half hour before meal two times a day.This will clear the stomach problem. It may be possible that your infection is cured and your problem is related to stomach upset and you will be cured without any further medication.So give it a try before taking further medication.Maintain good hygiene locally it will help cure the infection at earliest.I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.Thank you,Dr Arun TankInfectious diseases specialist,HCM",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"my friend has been in oain for over a week. hes nmot from this area so he went to the ER Wends. after many tests they said it was prostate infection.

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,Medical_PHI_2k,"Thank you Squamous cells were recently discovered in a biobsy of my vagina.

Any illuminating thoughts .?go DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I am not so happy to read your thoughts. You are 60 and you have life experiences. Every incident in our life, whether negative or positive, teaches us a positive lesson. In that sense whatever happened us is supposedly taught us a lesson for our future. We live today. Not in yesterday. There is no surety that the same thing will happen again.

As per your query your son is having symptoms of recurring fever which is due to impaired and reduced immunity of body. Presence of pus cells in urine is clear indication of infection to child.

Visit pediatrician once and get it examined to find out the cause of fever after thorough investigation. If required request your physician for any lab tests which may be required and start treatment as per that. You can take Crocin as well every 4-6 hrly. If symptoms still persists go for blood tests and then start treatment as per that.

"to the Taiwan Strait issue. However, there are still concerns about the potential for military conflict between the two sides. The report to Congress, pursuant to the FY99 Appropriations Bill, details the security situation in the Taiwan Strait, including an analysis of military forces facing Taiwan from the PRC. The report also evaluates recent additions to the offensive military capabilities of the PRC and assesses new challenges to Taiwan's deterrent forces. This is in line with the commitments made by the United States in the Taiwan Relations Act, Public Law 96-8. This report, in response to the FY99 Appropriations Bill, addresses Taiwan's ability to defend against current and emerging PLA capabilities. It covers PLA and Taiwan force planning, strategy, and doctrine; projected PLA and Taiwan capabilities in 2005 in the areas of conventional theater ballistic and cruise missiles; information operations (C2W); air and air/missile defense assets; naval systems; special operations and conventional ground forces; and intangibles such as leadership, training, personnel, and morale. The report concludes with a dynamic balance assessment of China's ability in 2065 to implement a naval blockade; establish air superiority; conduct an amphibious invasion of Taiwan; and gain information dominance. THE SECURITY SITUATION IN THE TAIWAN STRAIT I. THE SECURITY SITUATION IN THE TAIWAN STRAIT Nearly three years after the People's Republic of China (PRC) conducted provocative military exercises opposite Taiwan on the eve of that island's first popular presidential election, the security situation in the Taiwan Strait remains calm with no threat of imminent hostilities. There has been little change in the military balance; Beijing has limited its military activity in the region to routine training; Taipei has reduced the size and scope of its military exercises and played down other activities which Beijing might misconstrue as provocative and destabilizing. Within the political arena, senior negotiators from the two quasi-official organizations responsible for managing cross-Strait relations--Taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) and China's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS)--met in China in mid-October 1998 and resumed direct contacts--suspended since 1995--aimed at reducing tensions and improving bilateral relations. Although they agreed on future SEF-ARATS dialogue, cooperation, and visits, there was little movement on resolving the more substantive political issues which divide the two sides. Beijing views Taiwan as a province of China and demands that Taiwan accept the principle of ""one China"" as a basis for negotiations aimed at eventual reunification. The PRC insists that Taiwan should engage in ""political talks"" which would set the stage for the island's eventual reunification with the mainland under the ""one country, two systems"" formula. China also has condemned Taipei's activities aimed at broadening international recognition. For its part, Taipei rejects Beijing's concept of ""one China,"" arguing that China currently is a divided nation and demanding that Beijing deal with Taiwan on an equal basis. Taipei has predicated unification on the condition that China attain levels of economic development and political freedom comparable to those enjoyed on Taiwan; in the interim, Taipei believes that the two sides should focus on ""technical"" or procedural issues, such as cultural and educational exchanges, law enforcement cooperation, and the resolution of commercial disputes arising from Taiwan's extensive trade and investment interests on the mainland. Taipei also has condemned Beijing's efforts to isolate Taiwan internationally. Both Beijing and Taipei have stated they seek a peaceful resolution to the Taiwan Strait issue. However, there are still concerns about the potential for military conflict between the two sides. The report to Congress, pursuant to the FY99 Appropriations Bill, details the security situation in the Taiwan Strait, including an analysis of military forces facing Taiwan from the PRC.

It covers PLA and Taiwan force planning, strategy, and doctrine; projected PLA and Taiwan capabilities in 2005 in the areas of conventional theater ballistic and cruise missiles; information operations (C2W); air and air/missile defense assets; naval systems; special operations and conventional ground forces; and intangibles such as leadership, training, personnel, and morale. The report concludes with a dynamic balance assessment of China's ability in 2065 to implement a naval blockade; establish air superiority; conduct an amphibious invasion of Taiwan; and gain information dominance. to the reunification issue. Chinese leaders, however, have refused to renounce the option of using force against Taiwan, stating that a formal declaration of independence by Taipei or foreign intervention in Taiwan's internal affairs relative to the reunification issue would provoke China to take up arms against Taiwan. Beijing recently resurrected a third previously stated circumstance, namely, Taipei's acquisition of nuclear weapons. Taiwan remains concerned over the continuing modernization and professionalization of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the potential threat that it poses to the island's security. Taipei points to the series of military exercises in July 1995 and March 1996 which the PLA conducted opposite Taiwan-- exercises that included ballistic missile launches into waters near the island--and the acquisition of advanced weapons systems from Russia, like the Su-27 fighter and the Kilo-class submarine, as clear indications of China's focus on defeating Taiwan militarily. II. DEFENSE STRATEGY AND FORCE PLANNING Traditionally, China's defense strategy and force planning priorities have been determined by the need to maintain a large armed forces structure capable of responding to a wide range of internal and external missions. This tradition continues to be reflected in China's reliance on a force structure comprised of three elements: the more than 2.5 million member PLA; the one million member People's Armed Police (PAP); and, a reserve-militia component numbering well over 1.5 million personnel. However, in recent years, there has been growing evidence that China's force development strategy is being influenced, in part, by its focus on preparing for military contingencies along its southeastern flank, especially in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. 1 Feb 99 Over a decade ago, the PLA shifted its strategic focus from preparing to fight a large- scale, ""total war"" to preparing to fight limited, ""local wars."" Several developments sharpened the PLA's focus and sense of purpose in preparing for this new kind of warfare. They include the military success of the U.S.-led coalition in the Persian Gulf War; Beijing's perception of an unfolding revolution in military affairs; Chinese suspicions over perceived U.S. efforts to ""contain"" and militarily ""encircle"" China; the deployment of two U.S. naval aircraft carrier battle groups near Taiwan during the 1996 missile crisis; and, China's fear that Taiwan was moving toward de jure independence. These developments have reinforced China's desire to size and structure PLA forces capable of fighting and winning ""local wars under high- technology conditions."" Although the PLA is still decades from possessing a comprehensive capability to engage and defeat a modern adversary beyond China's boundaries, Beijing believes that the PLA can develop asymmetric abilities in certain niches--such as advanced cruise missiles and conventional short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs). Asymmetric warfare generally is defined as attacks by a weaker or more technologically backward opponent on a stronger foe's vulnerabilities using unexpected or innovative means, while avoiding the adversary's strengths. China's effort to ""leapfrog"" generations of technology in weapons programs is often times perceived as an effort to develop new and surprising capabilities, but most of the actual programs are derivative of efforts already well underway in more developed countries. Rather than technological breakthroughs, Beijing's military modernization effort could more accurately be described as a focus on asymmetric engagement capabilities. China is seeking to identify innovative tactics and employment parameters for systems and technologies which the PLA has successfully employed or can be reasonably expected to employ in the next two decades. With respect to Taiwan's defense strategy and force planning priorities, Taipei long ago renounced its intention to ""recover"" the mainland. and militarily. Taipei's force development plan focuses on three specific areas: maintaining air superiority over the Taiwan Strait and the waters contiguous to Taiwan; conducting effective counter-blockade operations; and, defeating an amphibious and aerial assault on the island. Taipei hopes that sufficient technological and tactical advantage over the mainland in these areas will buy time for the forces of change in China to render the future political and security landscape more amenable to Taiwan's long-term interests. Force modernization programs on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are interactive in nature. Just as Taiwan's military acquisitions are intended to address PLA military modernization programs, PRC force planning takes into account emerging capabilities on Taiwan. III. A COMPARISON OF MILITARY FORCES TO 2005 An Overview of the PLA. Beijing's military modernization program, underway for the past two decades, is designed to prepare the PLA to conduct regional active defensive warfare in support of Chinese economic interests and sovereignty claims-- a doctrinal shift away from a focus on the large-scale, land-based guerrilla warfare of Mao's classic ""People's War."" Chinese doctrine and tactics, however, still bear the indelible mark of Mao's teachings, particularly as they apply to concentration of power by a technologically inferior force at select times and places on the battlefield to overcome a foe armed with superior weapons. Rather than shifting priority resources from civil infrastructure and economic reform programs to an across-the-board modernization of the PLA, Beijing is focusing on those programs and assets which will give China the most effective means for exploiting critical vulnerabilities in an adversary's military capabilities. This approach potentially will give Beijing the ""credible intimidation"" needed to accomplish political and military goals without having to rely on overwhelming force-on-force superiority. China's modernization programs thus seek to realize short-term improvements in anti-surface warfare (ASuW) and precision strike and longer term advances in missile defense, counter-space, and information warfare (IW). Concurrently, the PLA is acquiring weapons that would be useful in countering potential adversaries operating on naval platforms or from bases in the East and South China Seas, particularly stand-off weapons such as anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs) and long-range land-attack cruise missiles (LACMs), as well as SRBMs. Beijing also is working to address problems associated with integrating advanced weapons systems into their inventory; and weaknesses in command, control, communication, computers, and intelligence (C4I); training; and logistics, so as to improve the PLA's overall warfighting capability. In comparing PLA and Taiwan military strengths, the PLA has clear quantitative advantages. However, only a portion of the PLA's overall strength could be brought to bear against Taiwan at a given time. Primary forces likely to be involved in an operation directed against Taiwan would include conventional short-range ballistic missile units in Jiangxi and Fujian provinces; air and ground force units subordinate to the Nanjing Military Region; and naval assets subordinate to the East Sea Fleet. Depending on operational requirements, however, additional air, naval, ballistic missile, and ground force assets from other parts of China could be involved in operations against Taiwan. An Overview of the Taiwan Military. For more than a decade, Taiwan's military modernization effort has focused on acquiring modern weapons systems and associated equipment to deter--and, if necessary--defeat Chinese aggression. Billions of dollars have been spent on domestic programs like the Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF) and the Tien Kung air defense system, as well as on foreign purchases like the U.S.-made F-16 fighter and the French-built Lafayette-class frigate. Many of these newer systems have provided Taiwan with a technological edge over the PLA in certain areas, such as air defense and anti-submarine warfare. However, Taiwan's military still faces challenges in areas such as command and control, intelligence, and logistics. In terms of manpower, Taiwan's military is much smaller than the PLA, with a total active duty force of around 215,000 compared to the PLA's 2.3 million. However, Taiwan's military is highly trained and well-equipped, with a focus on quality over quantity. It also has the advantage of being a voluntary force, which allows for a highly motivated and professional military. In summary, while the PLA has clear quantitative advantages, Taiwan's military modernization efforts have provided it with a technological edge and a highly trained and motivated force. Both sides continue to develop and modernize their military capabilities, making it crucial for both to maintain a balance of power in the region. nese Navy's defenses. Systems are in the process of being assimilated into the active inventory. In addition, in the early 1990s, Taiwan's Ministry of Defense publicly announced plans to trim the size of the island's armed forces by 40,000 personnel by 2003, reducing the overall size of the force to around 400,000. Most of the cuts are occurring in the Army, which will number about 200,000. The Air Force and the Navy reportedly will remain at about 60,000-70,000 personnel for each, while the number of personnel assigned to the military police, the coast guard, logistic units and military schools will number between 50,000 and 60,000. The primary reason for this reduction is to create a smaller army with more mobility and firepower. Another reason is the military's competitive disadvantage in recruiting and retaining highly-trained and technologically proficient personnel to handle modern weapon systems. A third factor is the desire to reduce the number of general officers, especially in the Army. By 2005, Taiwan will have a fighter force of about 400 aircraft and an armor force of about 1,500 tanks. The navy's fleet will number some 30 major surface warships, as older destroyers are phased out of the inventory and replaced with newer combatants. Additionally, the ratio of advanced weaponry to older systems within each of the service inventories will increase. Chinese Conventional Missiles. As demonstrated in military exercises in the Taiwan Strait in 1995 and 1996, China views its growing conventionally armed ballistic missile force as a potent military and political weapon to influence Taiwan's populace and their leaders. New LACM designs, when operational, will increase China's capability to strike regional targets accurately with conventional warheads. These kinds of weapons systems will play an increasingly important role in modern combat. By 2005, the PLA likely will have deployed two types of SRBMs and a first generation LACM. An expanded arsenal of accurate, conventional SRBMs and LACMs targeted against critical facilities, such as key airfields and C4I nodes, will complicate Taiwan's ability to conduct military operations. Short-Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBMs). Within the next several years, the size of China's SRBM force is expected to grow substantially. The PLA currently has one regimental-sized CSS-6 (DF-15/M-9) SRBM unit deployed in southeastern China. The CSS-6 is a solid propellant, road mobile missile which can deliver a 500-kilogram conventional payload to a maximum range of 600 km. The CSS-X-7 SRBM—better known by its export designator, the M-11—also is a solid propellant, road-mobile SRBM with an estimated range of 300 km. This missile, however, has not yet entered the PLA's inventory; and an improved, longer range version may be under development. Moreover, both the CSS-6 and the CSS-X-7 are expected to incorporate satellite-assisted navigation technology to improve their accuracy. In an armed conflict with Taiwan, China's SRBMs likely would target air defense installations, airfields, naval bases, C4I nodes, and logistics facilities. Land-Attack Cruise Missiles (LACMs). China also is developing LACMs. These missiles appear to have a relatively high development priority. Chinese research and development of LACMs is being aided by an aggressive effort to acquire foreign cruise missile technology and subsystems, particularly from Russia. The first LACM to enter production probably would be air-launched and could be operational early in the next century. Anti-ship Cruise Missiles (ASCMs). Technological improvements to the C-801/SARDINE and the C-802/SACCADE are providing a gradual upgrade to China's current force of antiquated, first generation, CSS-N-1/SCRUBBRUSH ASCMs. Despite the obsolescence of many of its ships, its lack of operational experience and its inability to resupply ASCMs at sea, the PLA Navy could assemble a sizable ASuW force against Taiwan and, most likely, saturate the Taiwanese Navy's defenses. IR AAMs, and the semi-active radar (SAR) homing version of the PL-8. In Navy with barrages of ASCMs. In addition, B-6D bombers subordinate to the PLA Naval Air Force (PLANAF) are capable of firing the C-601/KRAKEN ASCM. The Navy's new FB-7 bomber likely will carry C-801/C-802 ASCMs. China's ASCM capability is expected to improve further with the planned acquisition of two Russian-built SOVREMENNYY-class destroyers armed with the SS-N-22/SUNBURN ASCM. Taiwan Missile Defense. Taiwan's most significant vulnerability is its limited capacity to defend against the growing arsenal of Chinese ballistic missiles. These missiles pose a serious threat to non-hardened military targets, C2 nodes, and Taiwan's military infrastructure. As an initial response to this emerging threat, Taiwan has purchased the Modified Air Defense System (MADS), an improved variant of the PATRIOT surface-to-air missile (SAM) system which was used during DESERT STORM. The MADS, which began arriving in Taiwan in 1997, is expected to be deployed around heavily populated Taipei. Exclusive reliance on active missile defenses and associated BM/C3I, however, will not sufficiently offset the overwhelming advantage in offensive missiles which Beijing is projected to possess in 2005. PLA Air Force. The PLA Air Force (PLAAF) currently numbers over 400,000 personnel with approximately 4,500 combat aircraft organized in some 30 air divisions. The PLAAF also maintains about 150 transport aircraft in two air divisions. The PLAAF inventory includes over 2,200 obsolete F-6/FARMER fighters, several hundred F-7/FISHBED and F-8/FINBACK fighters, and over 40 Su-27/FLANKERs. In addition, it has some 500 A-5/FANTAN ground attack aircraft and about 500 bombers, including the obsolete B-5/BEAGLE. Both its aerial refueling and airborne early warning (AEW) programs are behind schedule, as are several of its indigenous aircraft development programs. By 2005, the PLAAF will possess nearly 2,200 tactical fighter aircraft, 500 ground attack aircraft, and 400 bombers, as older aircraft are retired. The majority of the mainland's air fleet still will be composed of second and third generation aircraft augmented by a limited number of fourth generation platforms. Command and control constraints and constricted airspace would limit the number of aircraft which the PLAAF could deploy at one time in an air battle over the Taiwan Strait. Fighters. The F-10, China's first domestically-produced fourth-generation fighter, reportedly is still undergoing testing and evaluation. The aircraft most likely will be armed with advanced beyond-visual-range (BVR), active radar (AR), air-to-air missiles (AAMs), and may be air refuelable. Domestic assembly of Su-27 kits has begun, with assistance from Russian technicians. Follow-on phases will involve assembly of an undetermined number of aircraft from a mixture of Russian- and Chinese-produced parts and, later, full domestic production of all but the aircraft's avionics and engine. The Su-27s originally purchased directly from Russia are the only fighter aircraft in the PLAAF inventory with sufficient combat radius to allow extended operations beyond China's borders. China will have made modest strides in its aerial refueling program by 2005. The F-8-II, other third generation aircraft modified to incorporate some fourth generation technology, as well as the F-10, are expected to possess aerial refueling capabilities. Air-to-Air Missiles (AAMs). The PLAAF currently has in its inventory a number of AAMs which are superior to those in Taiwan's inventory. The Russian-built AA-11/ARCHER infrared (IR) AAM carried on the Su-27 is superior to Taiwan's AIM-9/SIDEWINDER and indigenously-produced Tien Chien-I/SKY SWORD-I IR AAM. China's AA-10a/ALAMO missiles, on the other hand, are roughly comparable to, or slightly less capable than, Taiwan's AIM-7/SPARROWS. China's F-7 is capable of carrying the PL-2A and PL-5B IR AAMs, as well as the all-aspect PL-8 IR AAMs, while its F-8-IIs are capable of carrying the PL-2A, PL-5B IR AAMs, and the semi-active radar (SAR) homing version of the PL-8. PL-8, and the BVR semi-active radar (SAR) PL-4 and PL-10 AAMs. All of these missiles are comparable to Taiwan's AAMs. By 2005, Beijing likely will have an AR AAM in its inventory and could adapt it for use on a larger number of platforms than Taipei could match. The PLAAF also is developing BVR AAMs for use aboard its fourth generation fighter aircraft. Bombers. China's bomber aircraft include the B-6/BADGER and the B-5/BEAGLE. The B-5's slow speed and lack of standoff capability make this platform an extremely vulnerable target. The B-6 also is an aging aircraft. However, it is being produced in several versions. One variant is designed to carry an ASCM while another is being developed to carry an air-launched cruise missile (ALCM). The B-5 is being phased out of the inventory but it is still used in training and would probably be employed along with the B-6 bomber during a military conflict against Taiwan. However, both bombers would have limited success against Taiwan's air defense assets; the newer BADGER models incorporating cruise missile technology likely would have better success. Transports. One of the PLAAF's combat missions is to provide airlift in support of PLA operations. However, until just recently, the PLAAF was unable to transport ground forces rapidly to distant parts of the country or sustain ground operations for extended periods due to antiquated aircraft and the lack of large-capacity aircraft. The PLAAF transport force now is capable of supporting the PLA at increased levels for a limited time and rapidly deploying to internal trouble spots. However, the PLAAF's current complement of large transport aircraft is limited to about a dozen IL-76MD/CANDIDs and about 50 Y-8/CUBs; the remainder of the transport force consists of smaller aircraft like the AN-24/COKE, AN-26/CURL, and Y-5/COLT. The 1 Feb 99 MD variant of the CANDID is a military model specially configured for airborne operations. Beijing can be expected to purchase additional Russian IL-76 or similarly-sized foreign aircraft. The ongoing expansion of China's civil aircraft fleet will allow the PLAAF to use the country's civil airlines to supplement its transport capability during crises. Airborne. China's 15th Airborne Army consists of three airborne divisions, each with about 10,000 troops. The 15th is China's primary quick reaction force and has been designated as a strategic rapid reaction unit. However, China's airborne units remain handicapped by insufficient lift. Acquisition of additional aircraft and modern equipment, together with the increased emphasis on utilizing airborne forces during training exercises, will improve--albeit marginally-- the 15th's combat capabilities. Ground-Based Air Defense. Beijing is expending tremendous effort establishing an Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) at both the strategic and tactical levels. China's air defense technology currently lags behind western standards and its current IADS capability lacks many crucial components. Beijing probably could establish a fully operational national IADS within the next twenty years, but clearly not by 2005. China has a rudimentary tactical IADS capability in the form of its mobile Tactical Air Defense System (TADS). Taiwan Air Force. The Taiwan Air Force (TAF) has about 70,000 personnel and over 400 combat aircraft. The current inventory includes approximately 180 older F-5E/F fighters and over 100 more modern Indigenous Defense Fighters (IDFs). Fighters. The IDF has faced numerous developmental and operational problems since its inception in the 1980s. Nevertheless, its technical sophistication, with its fly-by-wire controls and blended wing-body design, is believed to be superior to any aircraft produced and deployed by China to date. Production of all 130 IDFs is scheduled to be completed by early 2000. Most of the IDFs are expected to be armed with the indigenously-produced, BVR Tien Chien-II (Sky Sword-II) AR AAM. Taiwan also has purchased 150 F-16 fighters from the United States: 120 single-seat ""A"" models and 30 two-seat ""B"" models. On-island deliveries, which began in April 1997, are continuing and should be completed by year's end. These aircraft are armed with upgraded AIM-7M/SPARROW SAR and AIM-9P4 and AIM-9S SIDEWINDER IR AAMs. Deliveries of 60 French-built Mirage 2000-5s also began in April 1997 and were completed by October 1998. With its four MICA active radar (AR) and two MAGIC II infrared (IR) AAMs, the Mirage 2000-5 is Taiwan's most formidable air defense fighter. The TAF's current strategy is to employ the IDF for low altitude interception and ground attack; the F-16 for mid altitude offshore interception and ground attack; and, the Mirage 2000-5 for high altitude offshore interception. Taiwan also is planning an upgrade program for about 100 F-5 fighters. The systemic integration and generational problems that affect Taiwan's overall forces with respect to modernization apparently are having the greatest impact on the TAF, where the technology curve is highest. I Feb 99 Air Defense Early Warning. Taiwan has established an air defense early warning network which, when used in conjunction with its ground-based SAMs and fourth-generation tactical aircraft, appears to pose a credible deterrent against an air attack from the mainland. Taiwan has replaced its old SKY NET air defense network with a new network called STRONG NET to provide a comprehensive picture of the surrounding airspace. Ground-Based Air Defense. The Improved HAWK (I-HAWK) SAM system remains the mainstay of Taiwan's air defense. It is a medium-range, low- to medium-altitude system, designed to defend fixed and mobile assets from high speed aircraft. The standard I-HAWK site consists of a pulse acquisition radar, a continuous wave acquisition radar, a high power illuminating target tracking radar, a range-only radar, and six three-missile launchers. Taipei also has deployed an indigenously-produced SAM--the Tien Kung or Sky Bow--designed to replace the recently retired NIKE-HERCULES system. The Tien Kung is a medium-to-long range system, reportedly based on early versions of the U.S. PATRIOT. The Tien Kung-I is a single-stage, solid-propellant missile. It is deployed in two configurations: as a mobile, containerized system employing a quad-box launcher similar in appearance to the M901 PATRIOT missile launcher and as a fixed, silo-launched SAM. A follow-on variant, the Tien Kung-II, is configured as a fixed, two-stage, single-rail or silo-launched system. For target acquisition, tracking, and mid-course missile guidance requirements, the Tien Kung employs a multifunction, phased-array radar with associated fire-control computer system and a continuous wave dish antenna illuminator which are tied into the radar in order to allow multiple target engagement. As noted previously, Taiwan also has purchased the MADS, a variant of the PATRIOT SAM system, primarily to serve in an anti-ballistic missile role. Short-range air defense coverage is provided primarily by the CHAPARRAL and the SKYGUARD systems. The CHAPARRAL consists of four modified AIM-9C SIDEWINDER missiles mounted on a tracked vehicle. The SKYGUARD is an integrated air defense system consisting of a modified AIM-7M/SPARROW AAM and a 35 mm AAA gun. Taiwan is expected to procure the STINGER/AVENGER SAM system. It is a pedestal-mounted system with two pods--each with four STINGER missiles--mounted on the back of a High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV). Taiwan's Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology (CSIST) has developed and publicly displayed a new tactical air defense which it has dubbed the ANTELOPE. According to promotional brochures, work on the ANTELOPE began in July 1995 as a direct by-product of the Tien Chien-I IR AAM. According to CSIST, the ANTELOPE consists of a target acquisition system, communication components, an operational control system, a carrier, and four 18-km maximum range Tien Chien-I IR AAMs. n-I missiles. It can be used to intercept low-flying helicopters, fighter aircraft, attack aircraft, and bombers and can be installed on a midsize truck or HMMWV. 1 Feb 99 . PLA Navy. The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) currently numbers approximately 260,000 personnel, with over 50 destroyers and frigates, about 60 diesel and six Han- and Xia-class submarines, and nearly 50 landing ships. This force is complemented by several hundred auxiliary and smaller patrol vessels, as well as a naval air arm of over 500, mostly obsolete, fixed-winged aircraft and some 30 helicopters. Over the last decade, the PLAN has streamlined and modernized its forces by eliminating large numbers of older ships and replacing them with fewer, more modern units. The number of submarines has declined by about one-half. The size of the major surface combatant fleet has been relatively stable, with older ships slowly being replaced by newer Chinese-built destroyers and frigates. Nearly all of the PLAN's inventory of U.S.-built, World War II-vintage landing ships have been replaced by similar numbers of domestically-produced vessels. Nevertheless, the PLAN continues to lag behind other regional navies, including that of Taiwan, in most technological areas, especially air defense, surveillance, and C4I. Submarines. China maintains the overwhelming advantage in submarines over Taiwan and this quantitative advantage will continue through 2005. Moreover, while the number of boats in service in China is expected to decrease, their overall qualitative capabilities will increase. China is producing more modern submarines and is using submarine-related technology from Russia. Although the force is oriented principally toward interdicting surface ships using torpedoes and mines, China shortly will begin arming some of its submarines with a submerged-launch cruise missile. The capability of Chinese submarines to conduct ASW operations is expected to improve through 2005, in light of the acquisition of Russian-built KILO- class submarines and the greater emphasis being placed on ASW training. As a result, China's submarine fleet will constitute a substantial force capable of controlling sea lanes and mining approaches around Taiwan, as well as a growing threat to submarines in the East and South China Seas. Surface Combatants. China's fleet of major surface combatants includes about 40 frigates and 20 destroyers. All carry ASCMs, ranging from the antiquated, first- generation CSS-N-1/SCRUBBRUSH to the more advanced C-801/SARDINE and C- 802/SACCADE. Two Russian-built SOVREMENNYY-class destroyers, which China is expected to acquire in the next several years, likely will be equipped with the SS- N-22/SUNBURN ASCM. The PLAN's surface fleet will continue to strive to enhance both its readiness and endurance for extended operations within the region and around Taiwan. It likely will conduct more realistic training exercises and deploy more advanced anti-ship and air defense missiles and electronic countermeasures. Amphibious Forces. The PLAN's amphibious fleet provides sealift sufficient to transport approximately one infantry division. The PLAN also has hundreds of smaller landing craft, barges, and troop transports, all of which could be used together with fishing boats, trawlers, and civilian merchant ships to augment the naval amphibious fleet. Shortcomings in long-range lift, logistics, and air support, however, hinder China's ability to project amphibious forces. People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force (PLANAF). The missions of the PLANAF include protecting China's coastal airspace, providing air support for naval forces at sea, and conducting maritime search and rescue operations. The PLANAF has only a limited maritime strike capability with some 150 non-standoff B-6/BADGERs, A-5/FANTANSs, and B-5/BEAGLEs. However, these aircraft would be only marginally effective against most modern navies. Some of the approximately 30 B-6Ds provide Inside the PLANAF with a cruise missile ship interdiction strike capability utilizing the C-601/ KRAKEN ASCM. The standoff-capable FB-7 fighter-bomber, equipped with the C-801/ASCM, will not become operational for another two to three years. It likely will augment the B-6 and eventually replace some of the B-5s and A-5s in the PLANAF's inventory. Taiwan Navy. The Taiwan Navy has about 68,000 personnel and some 40 major surface combatants. In addition there are four submarines, about 100 patrol boats, 30 mine warfare ships, and 25 amphibious vessels. Despite the Navy's ability to refurbish and extend the service life of its vessels and equipment well beyond expectation, a large portion of the fleet consists of obsolescent World War II-era ships. The Navy's primary mission is to defend the island against a Chinese blockade and to protect Taiwan's sea lines of communication (SLOCs). The Navy's modernization program is intended to replace its aging fleet of surface combatants with newer ships like the French-built Lafayette-class frigate and a domestically-produced variant of the US Navy's Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate. Taiwan is acquiring advanced anti-submarine warfare technology which will likely improve their ability to counter PLA submarines operating off the coast of Taiwan. Submarines. Taiwan has four submarines: two relatively modern Dutch-built ZWAARDVIS Design boats (Hai Lung-class) acquired in the late 1980s and two obsolete, World War II-era GUPPY II boats provided by the United States in 1973 for ASW training. The two Dutch submarines reportedly are armed with wire-guided torpedoes. The US boats are used primarily as training platforms with a secondary mission to lay mines. Acquisition of additional submarines remains one of Taiwan's most important priorities. Surface Combatants. Taiwan's naval modernization program - dubbed ""Kuang Hua"" or ""Glorious China"" - includes the licensed-production of eight Perry-class (Cheng Kung-class) frigates; the purchase of six Lafayette-class (Kang Ting-class) frigates from France; and the lease of eight Knox-class frigates from the United States. Both the Perry-class and Lafayette-class frigates are armed with indigenously-produced Hsiung Feng II ASCMs, while the Knox-class frigates are equipped with the US-made Harpoon ASCM. Air defense weapons systems include the Standard air defense missile on board the Perry-class frigates and the Sea Chaparral on board the Lafayettes. The primary mission of these newer frigates is sea control, particularly the capability to protect the sea lanes beyond the range of coastal aircraft. The Navy also has more than a dozen older, World War II-era Gearing-class destroyers and numerous smaller combatants and auxiliaries in its operational inventory. The ""Kuang Hua"" program also includes the future acquisition of three types of smaller surface combatants: 12 Jin Chiang-class 580-ton guided missile patrol combatants; 10-14 1,500-2,000 ton corvettes; and 50 fast attack missile boats (150-250 tons) to replace the aging fleet of Hai Ou-class boats currently in the inventory. Taiwan Naval Air Force. Taiwan's small naval air force consists of 10 Hughes MD 500 short-range ASW helicopters, usually deployed aboard Taiwan's Gearing-class destroyers, and nine Sikorsky S-70C(M) ASW Thunderhawk helicopters, used with Taiwan's Perry- and Lafayette-class frigates. The 30 or so S-2T Tracker ASW/Maritime Patrol aircraft currently belonging to the TAF may be turned over to the Taiwan Navy in the future. PLA Ground Forces. China's ground forces are comprised of approximately 75 army maneuver divisions. Approximately 20 percent of these divisions are designated ""rapid reaction"" units - combined arms units capable of deploying by road or rail within China without significant train-up or reserve augmentation. China is continuing the process of reducing the size of its army. The 500,000-man force reduction currently underway will streamline the force and f facilitate funding to equip its ""core"" infantry, airborne, mechanized and aviation units with more advanced weapons. The army is supported by a large reserve-militia force numbering more than 1.5 million personnel and a one million man armed police force. Particularly since the 1991 Persian Gulf conflict, the PLA has devoted considerable resources to the development of special operation forces (SOFs). These units likely have been assigned specific missions and tasks in a variety of Taiwan contingencies, to include locating or destroying C4I assets, transportation nodes, and logistics depots; capturing or destroying airfields; destroying air defense assets; and, conducting reconnaissance operations. Traditionally, China's ground forces have been highly cohesive, patriotic, physically fit, and well trained in basic skills. In addition, they are generally strong in operational and communications security, as well as in the use of camouflage, concealment, and deception. Major weaknesses are lack of transport and logistic support. Ground force leadership, training in combined operations, and morale are poor. The PLA is still a party army with nepotism and political/family connections continuing to predominate in officer appointment and advancement. The soldiers, for the most part, are semi-literate rural peasants; there is no professional NCO corps, per se. Military service, with its low remuneration and family disruption, is increasingly seen as a poor alternative to work in the private sector. China's leadership is aware of these weaknesses and is trying to address them in its overall modernization program. Thus, increasingly in the future, officers likely will be promoted on merit as opposed to connections, and the ratio of higher educated volunteer servicemen to conscripts likely will increase. 12 Taiwan Ground Forces. Taipei's approximate 220,000-member Army is organized and trained to defend Taiwan and the offshore islands against an invasion. About 80 percent of the Army's combat strength is on Taiwan proper, under the control of three field armies. The three offshore island commands - Kinmen, Matsu, and Penghu - have a total of more than 50,000 soldiers. In 1997, the Army began an aggressive restructuring campaign to upgrade its combat effectiveness, emphasizing rapid reaction capabilities, airborne invasion interdiction, and special forces operations. The plan apparently calls for trimming the force to 200,000 personnel. The three existing field armies will remain intact; however, the Army will eliminate divisions as operational units in peacetime. Existing infantry and mechanized divisions will be reorganized into specialized combined arms brigades. The Taiwan Army's equipment modernization effort has focused on improving mobility and fire power, primarily through the acquisition of tanks, helicopters, and short-range air defense missiles. Taiwan is acquiring over 450 M-60A3 medium tanks; they will join an already large tank force consisting of some 450 M-48H and 300 M-48A5 medium tanks and over 1,000 much older M-41 and M-24 light tanks. Taiwan also has acquired 42 AH-1W Cobra attack and 26 OH-58D Kiowa scout helicopters. China - Information Operations. Information Warfare. China's information warfare (IW) program is in the early stages of research. It currently focuses on understanding IW as a military threat, developing effective countermeasures, and studying offensive employment of IW against foreign economic, logistics, and C4I systems. Driven by the perception that China's information systems are vulnerable, the highest priority has been assigned to defensive IW programs and indigenous information technology development. Some technologies could provide enhanced defensive or offensive capabilities against Taiwan military and civilian information infrastructure systems. Computer anti-virus solutions, network security, and advanced data communications technologies are a few examples. Chinese open source articles. It is reported that the PLA has incorporated IW-related scenarios into several recent operational exercises. Efforts have focused on increasing the PLA's proficiency in defensive measures, especially against computer viruses. Computer Warfare. In the area of Computer Network Attack, China appears interested in researching methods to insert computer viruses into foreign networks as part of its overall Information Operations (IO) strategy. Beijing reportedly has adequate hardware and software tools and possesses a strong and growing understanding of the technologies involved. China's strategic IO use of advanced information technologies in the short- to mid-term likely will lack depth and sophistication; however, as it develops more expertise in defending its own networks against enemy attack, it is likely to step up attempts to penetrate adversarial information systems. Electronic Warfare. The thrust of China's electronic warfare (EW) efforts continues to focus on technology development and design capabilities improvement, accomplished mainly through cooperation with Western companies, through reverse engineering efforts, and through the procurement of foreign systems. The inventory of Chinese EW equipment includes a combination of 1950s-1980s technologies, with only a few select military units receiving the most modern components. China is procuring state-of-the-art technology to improve its intercept, direction finding, and jamming capabilities. In addition to providing extended imagery reconnaissance and surveillance and ELINT collection, Beijing's unmanned aerial vehicle programs probably will yield platforms for improved radio and radar jammers. Additionally, existing earth stations can be modified to interfere with satellite communications. Finally, the PLA is developing an electronic countermeasures (ECM) doctrine and has performed structured training in an ECM environment. Anti-satellite (ASAT) Programs. China currently can detect and track most satellites with sufficient accuracy for targeting purposes. Beijing's only current means of destroying or disabling a satellite, however, would be to launch a ballistic missile or space launch vehicle armed with a nuclear weapon. Press articles indicate Chinese interest in a laser ASAT. Beijing apparently has research programs involving the relevant technologies, and already may possess the capability to damage, under specific conditions, optical sensors on satellites that are very vulnerable to damage by lasers. Sensors for Detection and Targeting. China currently is acquiring and developing new systems which will give it a variety of targeting capabilities it currently lacks. Detection and targeting will improve over time, as space-based sensors are launched; long distance reconnaissance drones are produced; and, AEW aircraft are put in service. Beijing reportedly is developing several reconnaissance satellites which could provide initial targeting data to long-range reconnaissance aircraft. The acquisition of an AEW platform capable of conducting data relays has held a high priority in the PLAAF's efforts to modernize. Beijing is expected to acquire several PHALCON AEW systems mounted on IL-76 airframes. The Chinese Navy also reportedly is acquiring Skymaster AEW radars. While Chinese officials claim these radars will be used for search and rescue operations, they could be used in AEW and surface surveillance roles. China conceivably could have fully operational AEW platforms by 2005. By 2000, Beijing will have access to commercial remote sensing overhead imagery in the 2.5 meter resolution range. Access to new overhead imagery platforms in the near term will enhance China's ability to map, surveil, and target. The Chinese already have had access to commercial satellite imagery from the French SPOT satellites, Indian IRS-1C satellite, Canadian RADARSAT, and various Russian satellites. This widely available commercial satellite imagery can be used to develop digital terrain maps. for targeting, missile guidance, and mission planning. Telecommunication Infrastructure. China's telecommunications infrastructure, composed of both civil and military communications networks, currently is being modernized. China's C4I infrastructures, supporting all levels of military and 14 1 Feb 99 civilian leadership, are receiving specific attention. The PLA communications network supports all branches of the armed forces and uses the same types of communications mediums as the civil network. Multiple transmission systems create a military communication system that is survivable, secure, flexible, mobile and less vulnerable to exploitation, destruction or electronic attack. Thus, while China's command and control networks could be degraded, it is unlikely that they could be denied. Overall, network performance is assessed as adequate. The military's lack of communications satellites could force the PLA to rely on foreign satellite services to meet military needs in wartime or a crisis. In the event of crisis, it is believed the military would preempt the domestic satellite systems for combat operations. Within the operational forces, mobile communications equipment probably will be fielded in greater numbers to maneuver units and increasingly will incorporate features such as encryption and frequency hopping. As a result, the PLA leadership eventually will be able to control its forces in a much more secure and timely manner over a wider and more dynamic range of missions than is currently possible. Deception. The PLA's modernization program includes improving military denial and deception doctrine and capabilities for use against potential adversaries at the strategic, operational, and tactical level. Recent Chinese military writings affirm that ""high technology warfare"" requires developing denial and deception techniques for countering U.S. precision weapons, advanced reconnaissance sensors, and command and control warfare doctrine. A 1993 Chinese National Defense University treatise, High Technology and Military Camouflage, suggests that the PLA recognizes the value of conducting deception operations, especially in a crisis involving Taiwan, to create ambiguity about Chinese intentions and force the Taiwan political and military leadership to misallocate resources. According to this study, ""deception is intended to induce the enemy to reach erroneous conclusions about the activities, deployment, and combat objectives of our forces. Camouflage and deception can disperse the enemy's troops, waste their firepower, and disrupt their high technology weapons."" Psychological Operations. The PLA historically has made extensive use of psychological operations (PSYOP) in all its military campaigns and has integrated PSYOP into its national military strategy. China is believed to have a robust capability to conduct PSYOP against Taiwan. Moreover, prominent articles on PSYOP in the Liberation Army Daily over the last few years indicate that the PLA is committed to improving its PSYOP capability. In earlier military campaigns--such as China's prolonged confrontation with Taiwan military forces on the offshore islands in the 1950s and 1960s and China's brief border war with Vietnam in 1979-- the PLA demonstrated that it has a range of techniques for disseminating PSYOP messages to opposing military forces and civilian populations. During these conflicts, PLA PSYOP units employed loudspeakers, leaflets, posters, and radio broadcasts to spread propaganda messages. China also has demonstrated in past conflicts that it is not averse to using ""black"" propaganda and disinformation campaigns based on specious assertions and fabricated evidence. Perhaps the best 15 1 Feb 99 example of this was the ""germ warfare"" propaganda campaign that was aggressively pursued by Chinese propagandists during the Korean War. This massive PSYOP campaign attempted to convince an international audience that U.S. forces, in collusion with Japan, were conducting germ warfare against the Chinese and North Korean populations. There are indications that formal doctrine development to guide future employment of these capabilities may be in progress. As new computer systems and technology are developed and as Taiwan increases its role in the manufacture of these systems, its capability to exploit its position for information warfare activities can be expected to increase substantially. Taiwan has demonstrated a significant knowledge of viruses. A virus known as ""Bloody"" or ""6/4"" protesting the Tiananmen Square crackdown was first discovered in Taiwan in 1990. In 1992, personnel from The Hague - with support from INTERPOL - investigated the dissemination of the ""Michelangelo"" virus by a Taiwan firm. In 1996, Taiwan virus writers developed and distributed a computer virus protesting Japanese claims to the Diaoyutai Islands. The following year, opponents of the Taiwan government developed a widely circulated Word-macro virus known as ""Con-Air"" which protested social problems on the island. Taiwan is also well known for the efforts by researchers and corporations to combat computer viruses. Trend Micro - formerly known as Trend Micro Devices - is an industry leader in anti-virus software and, to a lesser extent, other network security products. Trend Micro was the first company to develop a response to the ""Michelangelo"" virus; it currently dominates the anti-virus software market in Japan. Trend Micro has also led in the area of virus recognition technology. Taiwan's Academia Sinica has also made impacts in the area of anti-virus software development. Sensors for Detection and Targeting. During the 1980s, Taiwan's reconnaissance capability and 1970s vintage photographic technology was adequate for the limited capabilities and low threat posture of the PLAAF. Taiwan's airborne reconnaissance capability, however, began to decline precipitously in the 1990s. Last year, the TAF retired the last of its RF-104G tactical reconnaissance aircraft and replaced them with reconnaissance-configured RF-SE aircraft. Taipei continues to seek a new imaging system capable of exploiting targets at greater distances from the coast, but without exposing its reconnaissance flights to China's increasingly more sophisticated air defenses. Taiwan conducts technical and human intelligence operations against China and purchases French SPOT and US LANDSAT commercial imagery for exploitation. Telecommunications Infrastructure. Taiwan's telecommunications infrastructure is composed of a civilian communications system and a separate military communications system. The civilian system consists of a nationwide network of fixed telephone lines (coaxial and fiber optic), microwave, wireless (satellite, cellular, paging), and TV and radio broadcast. The military system reportedly also consists of a nationwide network of fixed telephone lines (coaxial and fiber optic) and microwave, as well as satellite, troposcatter, and HF/VHF radio. Taiwan is rapidly developing its telecommunications infrastructure with the goal of becoming an Asia-Pacific telecommunications hub. The Taiwan military could benefit from any improvements to the commercial architecture. In the past, satellite communications have played a relatively minor role in domestic communications; they were used primarily to link Taiwan to its offshore islands. INTELSAT provides this domestic function as well as international connections for Taiwan. Satellite communications using very small aperture terminals (VSAT) were placed into commercial service in 1989. Satellites may begin to play a larger role in Taiwan's domestic communications in the future, with the potential to also play a role in military communications. Taiwan is playing a more prominent role both domestically and internationally with the advent of a number of new satellite systems. Taiwan also is working on building its own satellites under the ROCSAT program. ROCSAT-1, which will include an experimental communications package, is scheduled to be launched in January 1999. Psychological Operations. Taiwan reportedly possesses a well-developed PSYOP capability, under the auspices of the General Political Warfare Department (GPWD). During previous periods of tense confrontation across the Taiwan Strait, the GPWD has demonstrated its ability to employ a wide variety of PSYOP techniques, including broadcasting propaganda messages; using balloons, kites, artillery shells, and various flotation devices to deliver propaganda messages; and, offering financial inducements to potential defectors. China's leadership reportedly is considered an especially hard target for Taiwan's PSYOP forces. Given the continuous attention the Chinese military leadership has given to the indoctrination of its forces, PLA troops also are not likely to be susceptible to Taiwan's PSYOP. China - Other Factors. Military Leadership. The PLA does not approach leadership in the same way as Western military forces, placing greater emphasis on technical skills than on leadership development. The PLA's leadership culture is also risk averse, favoring the status quo over change. Historical experiences and decades of Communist propaganda have made the majority of Chinese military leaders suspicious of the outside world and its attitudes toward China's increasing power and influence. Relatively few senior officers have traveled abroad, although the military has undertaken a significant military diplomatic effort since the early 1990s that is overcoming this deficiency. The result of this physical and intellectual isolation has been the development of a strongly nationalistic outlook among the officer corps that could color negatively the leadership's approach to international developments seen impacting China's sovereignty or security. 17 China's military leadership is united on its desire to acquire or improve selected military capabilities in the near term. In the longer term, military leaders want to overhaul significantly the entire armed forces to create a smaller, technically more advanced instrument to fight in the immediate vicinity of China's borders. There is also a corresponding emphasis on military professionalism in China. While the political commissar system still exists and political officers share joint command with their operational brethren, the military now emphasizes operational training over political indoctrination. This trend will create a less politicized officer corps, especially among junior and mid-grade officers. It also will move the military leadership toward forming a more corporate military identity. Senior Chinese officers are studying modern technological advances and how these can best be incorporated into the current and projected military doctrine and structure. These officers are still generally more familiar and comfortable with an operational level of conflict that relies primarily on ground forces to achieve objectives. Below the most senior level, an increasing number of officers in command positions are conversant in, and somewhat experienced with, modern technological and operational concepts like joint operations. Nevertheless, the military has recently renewed its emphasis on upgrading scientific and technical education in order to overcome perceived deficiencies in the officer corps in this respect. Training. In recent years, China has shown a growing willingness to experiment with new aspects of training. Training has become more realistic and challenging, with an increased participation by opposition force units and greater emphasis on combined arms. Although intra-service training at the tactical level is improving, joint exercises are still tightly controlled and limited. indicative of the difficulty the PLA likely would have in executing operational-level battle plans. While this past year's summer floods disrupted training for a large percentage of the PLA, certain exercises were not cancelled, particularly those emphasizing Beijing's commitment to improve joint training. Professional Military Education. Professional military education for both officers and NCOs in the PLA is a high priority for Beijing. Institutional structures designed to instill a high degree of professionalism throughout the force were conspicuously absent in China until 1978, when the PLA began to address educational shortfalls. Since that time, Beijing has established a number of educational institutions throughout the military, although the emphasis remains on the officer corps. The key organization shaping the professional development of the senior PLA officer corps is the National Defense University (NDU). It instructs senior officers in areas such as Strategic studies, operational art, organizational command and management, combined arms and joint service operations, foreign military studies, and logistics. The NDU also provides information and advice on military modernization and broad strategic issues to national-level organizations; it also performs research on various strategic and operational military issues. The second tier in the PLA's officer education system consists of military colleges and academies which prepare field grade officers for regimental-level command and address the fundamentals of joint and combined arms operations. The curriculum concentrates on company, battalion, and regimental tactics. In addition, the schools teach basic joint operations. A small number of schools also train students in specialty staff duties, such as engineering and communications. The lowest tier of officer education is provided by military colleges and academies for junior officers and mid-rank officers; they provide multiple avenues for undergraduate and general military education. The curriculum consists of three and four year undergraduate programs and a two year vocational program. The majority of the cadets are upper middle school graduates. The PLA's NCO Corps is in its infancy, having been established only in the late 1980s. Chinese NCOs--former conscripts who are allowed to remain on active duty following their initial enlistment--are classified as either ""master sergeants"" or ""technical sergeants."" Newly selected NCOs attend a six-month training program at the MR academies. Training is limited to tactics for the master sergeants and technical subjects for the technical sergeants. Beijing has not yet established formal education programs for NCOs beyond their initial training. Joint/Integrated Operations. The PLA conducts interservice exercises at the tactical level, but the services are not fully integrated into a cohesive combat force. Disparate elements train simultaneously and in proximity, but do not appear to be controlled at the operational level by a joint commander and staff. Ground and air components exercise together with regularity and are improving their interoperability. Integration of ground and naval forces, however, is rarely exercised, particularly at the operational level, where synchronization and command and control are of greatest importance in the conduct of complex operations. The navy is beginning to conduct more combined operations between ships and naval aircraft. The PLA also is looking into the possibility of instituting a ""joint command"" structure at the operational or theater level, similar to that of the U.S. military. Accordingly, a commander would exercise operational control over all military forces assigned to and deployed in a particular area. These ""joint commands"" likely would be given specifically assigned missions in response to particular threats or security requirements. Morale. Morale within the PLA, particularly among enlisted personnel, is assessed as military training is generally considered to be of high quality. The emphasis on modernization and technological advancements has led to an increased focus on training for high-tech warfare. However, there are concerns that the focus on high-tech training may come at the expense of traditional combat skills. Additionally, the lack of a large-scale conflict in recent years has limited the opportunities for realistic training. To address these issues, Taiwan has increased joint training with the United States and other allies, as well as investing in simulation and other training technologies. Overall, the quality of Taiwan's military training is considered to be on par with other modern militaries. large-scale training normally takes place quarterly with the major training centers hosting limited maneuver and live-fire exercises. HAN KUANG 14, conducted in mid-May 1998, was one of Taipei's more typical joint exercises to date. Primarily a C4I exercise, the training was of very short duration and the scenario allowed for only limited exercise play. Taipei scheduled another ""joint exercise"" on 12 October 1998, but then cancelled it as a ""goodwill gesture"" toward Beijing in the run-up to the resumption of high level cross-Strait talks on 14 October. A dress rehearsal on 7 October also was cancelled, although a ""preliminary dress rehearsal"" was held on 2 October. It consisted of a series of live-fire demonstrations showcasing some of Taiwan's most modern military equipment. Professional Military Education. Professional military education of Taiwan's officer corps is conducted along two developmental lines: the universal track for regular career officers and the professional track for officers in specialized fields like political affairs, medicine, and engineering. The universal track is the general military education for officers provided at the three service academies. Graduates receive a bachelor's degree after completing 130 university-level credit hours. The Naval Academy concentrates on science and engineering, while the Air Force Academy curriculum focuses on aerospace-related courses and includes supervised flight training beginning in the second year. Newly commissioned Army officers go on to branch schools, i.e., infantry, army, and artillery. Education in the professional track is conducted at specialized schools like the Fu Hsing Kang College, the Defense Medical College, the Defense Management College, and the Chung Cheng Institute of Technology. Mid-career and senior career professional military education is conducted at the Armed Forces University (AFU). Tracing its roots back to 1906, AFU is the highest level institution in the Taiwan military education system. It is responsible for training strategic-level command and staff officers, as well as specialists in defense administration and military intelligence. It also conducts research into the development of war strategies and political warfare. AFU includes four colleges: the War College for senior field grade and general officers and the Command and Staff Colleges of the Army, Navy, and Air Force for junior field grade officers. Morale. Morale, especially among the enlisted ranks, is generally assessed as poor, amidst efforts to retain competent, educated service members in the face of stiff private sector competition. The military competes poorly with the civilian economy in attracting Taiwan's youth, especially those who are technically-oriented. Continued personnel shortages stemming from low retention rates-- especially among NCOs--will remain a serious problem affecting morale. The military also is hampered by systemic problems of poor, antiquated management and a traditional military culture with very rigid command structures which discourages lower-level risk-taking, decision-making, and innovation. The Taiwan Army especially is facing morale problems stemming from the ongoing restructuring and downsizing. 21 1 Feb 99 While the operational outlook and overall morale of TAF pilots is significantly better than that of PLAAF pilots-- largely due to better training opportunities and exposure to and hands-on experience with more modern Western equipment--there exists a disparity between the military and civilian aviators in pay and benefits, which inevitably affects morale. Logistics and Sustainability. Taiwan's logistics capability will support some defensive operations on Taiwan, but its probability of success is highly dependent on the tempo of operations. The military reportedly is trying to make the logistics system more efficient to better support combined or joint force operations. In the interim, logistics support will remain cumbersome. Chinese missile advantage. effective--for localized engagements. Taiwan's defenses rely heavily on air and naval forces, both requiring an extensive maintenance and repair infrastructure to support weapons systems and equipment. The critical requirements are major equipment end items like engines and transmissions, ammunition, fuel and especially obsolete spare parts which no longer are being manufactured. IV. THE DYNAMIC BALANCE Currently, China's more than 2.5-million-man PLA dwarfs Taiwan's defense force of about 400,000. In most cases, equipment totals also are lopsided. Only a portion of this overall strength, however, could be brought to bear against Taiwan at one time. China has nearly 4,500 combat aircraft, as compared with some 400 on Taiwan. The Chinese Navy has about 65 attack submarines--five of which are nuclear powered-- as compared with four diesel attack submarines for Taiwan. China has over 60 major surface combatants while Taiwan has no more than 40. China has nuclear weapons and a ballistic missile force that can deliver nuclear or conventionally-armed warheads against Taiwan. In terms of the quality of their military equipment, however, Taipei possesses an edge over Beijing, as new weapons systems--particularly fighter aircraft and naval frigates--are entering the inventory. Should China decide to use military force against Taiwan, there are several options or courses of action available to Beijing, including--but not limited to--an interdiction of Taiwan's SLOCs and a blockade of Taiwan's ports, a large-scale missile attack, and an all-out invasion. Blockade. The primary intent behind a blockade of the island would be to cripple Taiwan economically and isolate it internationally. China's leaders apparently believe that this option would be less likely to provoke outside intervention than others. Beijing probably would choose successively more stringent quarantine- blockade actions, beginning with declaring maritime exercise closure areas and stopping Taiwan-flagged merchant vessels operating in the Taiwan Strait. Operations likely would include mine laying and deploying submarines and surface ships to enforce the blockade. Barring third party intervention, the PLAN's quantitative advantage over Taiwan's Navy in surface and sub-surface assets would be overwhelming over time. Taiwan's military forces would probably not be able to keep the island's key ports and SLOCs open in the face of concerted Chinese military action. Taiwan's small surface fleet and four submarines are numerically insufficient to counter China's major surface combatant force and its ASW assets would likely have difficulty defeating a blockade supported by China's large submarine force. The PLANAF's B-6D bombers armed with C-601 ASCMs would place Taipei's merchant ships and combatants at serious risk. Missile Strikes. Within the next several years, the size of China's SRBM force is expected to grow substantially. An expanded arsenal of conventional SRBMs and LACMs targeted against critical facilities, such as key airfields and C4l nodes, will complicate Taiwan's ability to conduct military operations. By 2005, China will have deployed both the CSS-6 and CSS-7 SRBM. In addition, the PLA could have a first generation, air-launched LACM in its inventory. Should Beijing choose escalation, a rapid transition from relatively low-intensity blockade operations to massive missile strikes would be a likely step, particularly as a pretext to an invasion. These missile attacks would most likely be high-volume, precision strikes against priority military and political targets, including air defense facilities, airfields, Taiwan's C2 infrastructure, and naval facilities. China, however, could encounter problems coordinating missile firings with other concurrent military operations, such as air and maritime engagements. Exclusive Taiwan reliance on active missile defenses and associated BM/C3I, however, will not sufficiently offset the overwhelming Chinese missile advantage. Advantage in offensive missiles which Beijing is projected to possess in 2005. Air Superiority. Maintaining air superiority over the Taiwan Strait would be an essential part of any Chinese effort to mount a military operation against Taiwan. China currently has an overwhelming quantitative advantage over Taiwan in military aircraft and will retain that advantage beyond 2005. On the other hand, Taiwan's more modern aircraft will provide it with a qualitative advantage that should be retained at least through that period. PLA electronic warfare operations against air defense radars, disruption of command and control networks, and/or large scale conventional surface-to-surface missiles (SRBM) and land-attack cruise missiles (LACM) strikes against airfields and SAM sites would reduce the effectiveness of Taiwan’s air defenses. The future effectiveness of the TAF will depend on the implementation of sound pilot training, sufficient logistics and maintenance support, and the ability of the TAF to integrate satisfactorily several disparate airframes into a cohesive, operational fighting force. For its part, Beijing is faced with similar training, maintenance, and logistics challenges, complicated further by a still questionable capability on the part of its aerospace industry to keep pace with rapidly evolving technologies. Nevertheless, while the majority of the mainland’s air fleet will still be composed of second and third generation aircraft, the sheer numerical advantage of older platforms augmented by some fourth generation aircraft could attrit Taiwan's air defenses sufficiently over time to achieve air superiority. 23 1 Feb 99 Amphibious Invasion. An amphibious invasion of Taiwan by China would be a highly risky and most unlikely option for the PLA, chosen only as a last resort to force the total surrender of the island. It most likely would be preceded by a variety of preparatory operations to include a blockade, conventional missile strikes, and special operations on Taiwan. These operations would play a critical role in determining how China would pursue the coup de grace, with an amphibious assault only one facet of a multi-pronged invasion plan. Beijing's amphibious lift capability is extremely limited at present and there are no indications that China is devoting resources to improve significantly its amphibious assault capability. As a result, success only would be achieved with a massive commitment of military and civilian assets over a long period of time and without third party intervention; furthermore, an invasion would bring almost certain damage to China's economy and its diplomatic interests, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. The first move in an invasion plan likely would be a SLOC/blockade interdiction operation. The PLAAF and PLANAF would try to establish an air defense umbrella over the Taiwan Strait in preparation for local air superiority operations. Ground- based air defense assets would deploy forward and be integrated into the umbrella. Naval surface action groups would begin operations near Taiwan's major ports. Announced missile closure areas and port mining by submarines would be designed to canalize traffic and force Taiwan naval vessels into engagement areas. Ground force mobilization likely would begin and PLA combat air patrols over the Taiwan Strait would intensify. Invasion operations would follow sufficiently close on the heels of conventional missile attacks to prevent Taipei from repairing and reconstituting damaged facilities. As the PLA's amphibious lift capacity in 2005 would still be limited, an amphibious over-the-beach assault would be extremely problematic. Rather, airborne, airmobile, and special operations forces likely would conduct simultaneous attacks to the rear of Taiwan's coastal defenses to seize a port, preferably in close proximity to an airfield. Seizing a beachhead likely would constitute a supporting attack. An airborne envelopment would facilitate amphibious operations by cutting off Taiwan's coastal defenders from the mainland. m supply lines and forcing them to fight in two directions. Beijing's suppression of Taiwan's air defenses would be followed rapidly by a ""second-wave"" air attack which would attempt to establish air superiority over an invasion corridor in the Taiwan Strait. Priority for air defense protection and fighter escort operations would shift from bombers carrying ASCMs to fixed- and rotary-wing transports ferrying additional airborne and airmobile assault forces. Both China's amphibious fleet and a large portion of its huge merchant fleet would complete rapid reaction unit upload operations and depart from ports along the central coast. China also likely would saturate the Taiwan Strait with a huge number of noncombatant merchant and fishing vessels, with the aim of confusing and overwhelming Taipei's surveillance and target acquisition systems. The PLA’s success in establishing and maintaining a foothold on the island would rest on a variety of intangibles to include personnel and equipment attrition rates on both sides of the Strait; the interoperability of PLA forces; and the ability of China's logistic system to support adequately optempo operations. In order for an invasion to succeed, in other words, Beijing would have to possess the capability to conduct a multi-faceted campaign, involving air assault, airborne insertion, special operations raids, amphibious landings, maritime area denial operations, air superiority operations and conventional missile strikes. The PLA likely would encounter great difficulty conducting such a sophisticated campaign by 2005. Nevertheless, the campaign likely would succeed--barring third party intervention--if Beijing were willing to accept the almost certain political, economic, diplomatic, and military costs that such a course of action would produce. Information Dominance. The Chinese currently are focusing on eliminating specific deficiencies they have in both areas of IO/IW technology and training. The PLA is engaged in efforts to improve the staff planning process by applying joint forces concepts learned from studying foreign IO/IW doctrine. Recent IO/IW military exercises claim to have included computer network attack and defend exercises. Public disclosure of these IO/IW exercises serves as an informational tool for the PLA to understand the future importance of IO/IW in Chinese military doctrine and reaffirms China's intent to continue developing and improving its IO/IW capability. In spite of these activities, the Chinese have many challenges to overcome and Beijing's ability to paralyze Taiwan's command and control appears limited at best. On the other side of the Taiwan Strait, IO may be an attractive--but untested tool--in multiplying the effectiveness of Taiwan's military forces. As one of the world's largest producers of computer components, Taiwan has all of the basic capabilities needed to carry out offensive IO-related activities, particularly computer network attacks and the introduction of malicious code. Formal doctrine development to guide future employment of these capabilities already may be in progress. As Taiwan increases its role in the manufacture of new computer warfighting systems, Taipei's capability to exploit its position for IO activities can be expected to increase substantially. V. CONCLUSIONS During the twenty-year period from 1979 to 1999, the security situation in the Taiwan Strait has exhibited simultaneously both significant change in some respects and remarkable constancy in others. The greatest change has occurred in the political and diplomatic arenas, a reflection of the political changes which have taken place in both Beijing and Taipei, and between Beijing and Taipei. On the other hand, despite the modest qualitative improvement in the military forces of both China and Taiwan, the dynamic equilibrium of those forces in the Taiwan Strait has not changed dramatically over the last two decades, except in a few niche areas like China's deployment of SRBMs. Despite anticipated improvements to Taiwan's missile and air defense systems, by 2005, the PLA will possess the capability to attack Taiwan with air and missile strikes which would degrade key military facilities and damage the island's economic infrastructure. China will continue to give priority to long-range precision-strike programs. Similarly, despite improvements in Taiwan's ability to conduct ASW operations, China will retain the capability to interdict Taiwan's SLOCs and blockade the island's principal maritime ports. Should China invade Taiwan, such an operation would require a major commitment of civilian air and maritime transport assets, would be prolonged in duration, and would not be automatically guaranteed to succeed. In the end, any of these options would prove to be costly to Beijing--politically, economically, diplomatically, and militarily. Beyond 2005, development of a modern military force capable of exerting military influence within the region, achieving deterrence against potential enemies, preserving independence of action in domestic and foreign affairs, protecting the nation's economic resources and maritime areas, and defending the sovereignty of the nation's territory will remain one of China's national priorities. Beijing will strive to create a smaller, more modern, better trained, more professional, and better logistically supported force, with an emphasis on air, naval and missile forces. China will continue to improve its regional force projection capabilities, but will not possess the conventional military capabilities to exert global influence. The PLA will field large numbers of increasingly accurate SRBMs and introduce LACMs into its inventory. China's naval forces will continue their transition from a large coastal defense force to a smaller, more modern force able to conduct limited sea control operations against regional opponents in the East and South China Seas. China's air force will continue to assimilate greater numbers of fourth generation aircraft into its inventory, upgrade its regional IADS, and expand its airborne refueling and AEW capabilities. China will retain a numerical advantage over Taiwan in terms of both personnel and weapons. On the other side of the Taiwan Strait, by 2005, Taipei will possess a qualitative edge over Beijing in terms of significant weapons and equipment. The TAF will have over 300 fourth generation fighters. Six French-built Lafayette-class frigates, eight U.S. Knox-class frigates, and eight Perry-class frigates will form the nucleus of Taiwan's naval force. Taiwan will possess an advanced air defense network, comprising an AEW capability, an automated C2 system, and several modern SAM systems, which will provide Taiwan with an enhanced defensive capability against both aircraft and missiles. The mobility and firepower of Taiwan's ground forces will have been improved with the acquisition of additional tanks, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery and attack helicopters. Taiwan's primary security goal beyond 2005 will be to maintain the status quo, while retaining its long-term objective of eventual peaceful reunification with China on terms favorable to Taipei. Taiwan will seek to advance its international status, maintain a strong economy, modernize its military forces, and further democratize the island's political system. At the same time, Taipei will endeavor to expand political, cultural, and economic ties with Beijing, thereby reducing tensions with China and lessening the prospects of military conflict in the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan's military strategy will remain defensive. Its success in deterring potential Chinese aggression will be dependent on its continued acquisition of modern arms, technology and equipment and its ability to deal with a number of systemic problems -- primarily the recruitment and retention of technically qualified personnel and the maintenance of an effective logistics system.

The report concludes with a dynamic balance assessment of China's ability in 2065 to implement a naval blockade; establish air superiority; conduct an amphibious invasion of Taiwan; and gain information dominance. THE SECURITY SITUATION IN THE TAIWAN STRAIT I. THE SECURITY SITUATION IN THE TAIWAN STRAIT Nearly three years after the People's Republic of China (PRC) conducted provocative military exercises opposite Taiwan on the eve of that island's first popular presidential election, the security situation in the Taiwan Strait remains calm with no threat of imminent hostilities. There has been little change in the military balance; Beijing has limited its military activity in the region to routine training; Taipei has reduced the size and scope of its military exercises and played down other activities which Beijing might misconstrue as provocative and destabilizing. Within the political arena, senior negotiators from the two quasi-official organizations responsible for managing cross-Strait relations--Taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) and China's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS)--met in China in mid-October 1998 and resumed direct contacts--suspended since 1995--aimed at reducing tensions and improving bilateral relations. Although they agreed on future SEF-ARATS dialogue, cooperation, and visits, there was little movement on resolving the more substantive political issues which divide the two sides. Beijing views Taiwan as a province of China and demands that Taiwan accept the principle of ""one China"" as a basis for negotiations aimed at eventual reunification. The PRC insists that Taiwan should engage in ""political talks"" which would set the stage for the island's eventual reunification with the mainland under the ""one country, two systems"" formula. China also has condemned Taipei's activities aimed at broadening international recognition. For its part, Taipei rejects Beijing's concept of ""one China,"" arguing that China currently is a divided nation and demanding that Beijing deal with Taiwan on an equal basis. Taipei has predicated unification on the condition that China attain levels of economic development and political freedom comparable to those enjoyed on Taiwan; in the interim, Taipei believes that the two sides should focus on ""technical"" or procedural issues, such as cultural and educational exchanges, law enforcement cooperation, and the resolution of commercial disputes arising from Taiwan's extensive trade and investment interests on the mainland. Taipei also has condemned Beijing's efforts to isolate Taiwan internationally. Both Beijing and Taipei have stated they seek a peaceful resolution to the Taiwan Strait issue. However, there are still concerns about the potential for military conflict between the two sides. The report to Congress, pursuant to the FY99 Appropriations Bill, details the security situation in the Taiwan Strait, including an analysis of military forces facing Taiwan from the PRC. The report also evaluates recent additions to the offensive military capabilities of the PRC and assesses new challenges to Taiwan's deterrent forces. This is in line with the commitments made by the United States in the Taiwan Relations Act, Public Law 96-8. This report, in response to the FY99 Appropriations Bill, addresses Taiwan's ability to defend against current and emerging PLA capabilities. It covers PLA and Taiwan force planning, strategy, and doctrine; projected PLA and Taiwan capabilities in 2005 in the areas of conventional theater ballistic and cruise missiles; information operations (C2W); air and air/missile defense assets; naval systems; special operations and conventional ground forces; and intangibles such as leadership, training, personnel, and morale. The report concludes with a dynamic balance assessment of China's ability in 2065 to implement a naval blockade; establish air superiority; conduct an amphibious invasion of Taiwan; and gain information dominance. to the reunification issue. Chinese leaders, however, have refused to renounce the option of using force against Taiwan, stating that a formal declaration of independence by Taipei or foreign intervention in Taiwan's internal affairs relative to the reunification issue would provoke China to take up arms against Taiwan. Beijing recently resurrected a third previously stated circumstance, namely, Taipei's acquisition of nuclear weapons. Taiwan remains concerned over the continuing modernization and professionalization of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the potential threat that it poses to the island's security. Taipei points to the series of military exercises in July 1995 and March 1996 which the PLA conducted opposite Taiwan-- exercises that included ballistic missile launches into waters near the island--and the acquisition of advanced weapons systems from Russia, like the Su-27 fighter and the Kilo-class submarine, as clear indications of China's focus on defeating Taiwan militarily. II. DEFENSE STRATEGY AND FORCE PLANNING Traditionally, China's defense strategy and force planning priorities have been determined by the need to maintain a large armed forces structure capable of responding to a wide range of internal and external missions. This tradition continues to be reflected in China's reliance on a force structure comprised of three elements: the more than 2.5 million member PLA; the one million member People's Armed Police (PAP); and, a reserve-militia component numbering well over 1.5 million personnel. However, in recent years, there has been growing evidence that China's force development strategy is being influenced, in part, by its focus on preparing for military contingencies along its southeastern flank, especially in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea. 1 Feb 99 Over a decade ago, the PLA shifted its strategic focus from preparing to fight a large- scale, ""total war"" to preparing to fight limited, ""local wars."" Several developments sharpened the PLA's focus and sense of purpose in preparing for this new kind of warfare. They include the military success of the U.S.-led coalition in the Persian Gulf War; Beijing's perception of an unfolding revolution in military affairs; Chinese suspicions over perceived U.S. efforts to ""contain"" and militarily ""encircle"" China; the deployment of two U.S. naval aircraft carrier battle groups near Taiwan during the 1996 missile crisis; and, China's fear that Taiwan was moving toward de jure independence. These developments have reinforced China's desire to size and structure PLA forces capable of fighting and winning ""local wars under high- technology conditions."" Although the PLA is still decades from possessing a comprehensive capability to engage and defeat a modern adversary beyond China's boundaries, Beijing believes that the PLA can develop asymmetric abilities in certain niches--such as advanced cruise missiles and conventional short-range ballistic missiles (SRBMs). Asymmetric warfare generally is defined as attacks by a weaker or more technologically backward opponent on a stronger foe's vulnerabilities using unexpected or innovative means, while avoiding the adversary's strengths. China's effort to ""leapfrog"" generations of technology in weapons programs is often times perceived as an effort to develop new and surprising capabilities, but most of the actual programs are derivative of efforts already well underway in more developed countries. Rather than technological breakthroughs, Beijing's military modernization effort could more accurately be described as a focus on asymmetric engagement capabilities. China is seeking to identify innovative tactics and employment parameters for systems and technologies which the PLA has successfully employed or can be reasonably expected to employ in the next two decades. With respect to Taiwan's defense strategy and force planning priorities, Taipei long ago renounced its intention to ""recover"" the mainland. and militarily. Taipei's force development plan focuses on three specific areas: maintaining air superiority over the Taiwan Strait and the waters contiguous to Taiwan; conducting effective counter-blockade operations; and, defeating an amphibious and aerial assault on the island. Taipei hopes that sufficient technological and tactical advantage over the mainland in these areas will buy time for the forces of change in China to render the future political and security landscape more amenable to Taiwan's long-term interests. Force modernization programs on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are interactive in nature. Just as Taiwan's military acquisitions are intended to address PLA military modernization programs, PRC force planning takes into account emerging capabilities on Taiwan. III. A COMPARISON OF MILITARY FORCES TO 2005 An Overview of the PLA. Beijing's military modernization program, underway for the past two decades, is designed to prepare the PLA to conduct regional active defensive warfare in support of Chinese economic interests and sovereignty claims-- a doctrinal shift away from a focus on the large-scale, land-based guerrilla warfare of Mao's classic ""People's War."" Chinese doctrine and tactics, however, still bear the indelible mark of Mao's teachings, particularly as they apply to concentration of power by a technologically inferior force at select times and places on the battlefield to overcome a foe armed with superior weapons. Rather than shifting priority resources from civil infrastructure and economic reform programs to an across-the-board modernization of the PLA, Beijing is focusing on those programs and assets which will give China the most effective means for exploiting critical vulnerabilities in an adversary's military capabilities. This approach potentially will give Beijing the ""credible intimidation"" needed to accomplish political and military goals without having to rely on overwhelming force-on-force superiority. China's modernization programs thus seek to realize short-term improvements in anti-surface warfare (ASuW) and precision strike and longer term advances in missile defense, counter-space, and information warfare (IW). Concurrently, the PLA is acquiring weapons that would be useful in countering potential adversaries operating on naval platforms or from bases in the East and South China Seas, particularly stand-off weapons such as anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs) and long-range land-attack cruise missiles (LACMs), as well as SRBMs. Beijing also is working to address problems associated with integrating advanced weapons systems into their inventory; and weaknesses in command, control, communication, computers, and intelligence (C4I); training; and logistics, so as to improve the PLA's overall warfighting capability. In comparing PLA and Taiwan military strengths, the PLA has clear quantitative advantages. However, only a portion of the PLA's overall strength could be brought to bear against Taiwan at a given time. Primary forces likely to be involved in an operation directed against Taiwan would include conventional short-range ballistic missile units in Jiangxi and Fujian provinces; air and ground force units subordinate to the Nanjing Military Region; and naval assets subordinate to the East Sea Fleet. Depending on operational requirements, however, additional air, naval, ballistic missile, and ground force assets from other parts of China could be involved in operations against Taiwan. An Overview of the Taiwan Military. For more than a decade, Taiwan's military modernization effort has focused on acquiring modern weapons systems and associated equipment to deter--and, if necessary--defeat Chinese aggression. Billions of dollars have been spent on domestic programs like the Indigenous Defense Fighter (IDF) and the Tien Kung air defense system, as well as on foreign purchases like the U.S.-made F-16 fighter and the French-built Lafayette-class frigate. Many of these newer systems have provided Taiwan with a technological edge over the PLA in certain areas, such as air defense and anti-submarine warfare. However, Taiwan's military still faces challenges in areas such as command and control, intelligence, and logistics. In terms of manpower, Taiwan's military is much smaller than the PLA, with a total active duty force of around 215,000 compared to the PLA's 2.3 million. However, Taiwan's military is highly trained and well-equipped, with a focus on quality over quantity. It also has the advantage of being a voluntary force, which allows for a highly motivated and professional military. In summary, while the PLA has clear quantitative advantages, Taiwan's military modernization efforts have provided it with a technological edge and a highly trained and motivated force. Both sides continue to develop and modernize their military capabilities, making it crucial for both to maintain a balance of power in the region. nese Navy's defenses. Systems are in the process of being assimilated into the active inventory. In addition, in the early 1990s, Taiwan's Ministry of Defense publicly announced plans to trim the size of the island's armed forces by 40,000 personnel by 2003, reducing the overall size of the force to around 400,000. Most of the cuts are occurring in the Army, which will number about 200,000. The Air Force and the Navy reportedly will remain at about 60,000-70,000 personnel for each, while the number of personnel assigned to the military police, the coast guard, logistic units and military schools will number between 50,000 and 60,000. The primary reason for this reduction is to create a smaller army with more mobility and firepower. Another reason is the military's competitive disadvantage in recruiting and retaining highly-trained and technologically proficient personnel to handle modern weapon systems. A third factor is the desire to reduce the number of general officers, especially in the Army. By 2005, Taiwan will have a fighter force of about 400 aircraft and an armor force of about 1,500 tanks. The navy's fleet will number some 30 major surface warships, as older destroyers are phased out of the inventory and replaced with newer combatants. Additionally, the ratio of advanced weaponry to older systems within each of the service inventories will increase. Chinese Conventional Missiles. As demonstrated in military exercises in the Taiwan Strait in 1995 and 1996, China views its growing conventionally armed ballistic missile force as a potent military and political weapon to influence Taiwan's populace and their leaders. New LACM designs, when operational, will increase China's capability to strike regional targets accurately with conventional warheads. These kinds of weapons systems will play an increasingly important role in modern combat. By 2005, the PLA likely will have deployed two types of SRBMs and a first generation LACM. An expanded arsenal of accurate, conventional SRBMs and LACMs targeted against critical facilities, such as key airfields and C4I nodes, will complicate Taiwan's ability to conduct military operations. Short-Range Ballistic Missiles (SRBMs). Within the next several years, the size of China's SRBM force is expected to grow substantially. The PLA currently has one regimental-sized CSS-6 (DF-15/M-9) SRBM unit deployed in southeastern China. The CSS-6 is a solid propellant, road mobile missile which can deliver a 500-kilogram conventional payload to a maximum range of 600 km. The CSS-X-7 SRBM—better known by its export designator, the M-11—also is a solid propellant, road-mobile SRBM with an estimated range of 300 km. This missile, however, has not yet entered the PLA's inventory; and an improved, longer range version may be under development. Moreover, both the CSS-6 and the CSS-X-7 are expected to incorporate satellite-assisted navigation technology to improve their accuracy. In an armed conflict with Taiwan, China's SRBMs likely would target air defense installations, airfields, naval bases, C4I nodes, and logistics facilities. Land-Attack Cruise Missiles (LACMs). China also is developing LACMs. These missiles appear to have a relatively high development priority. Chinese research and development of LACMs is being aided by an aggressive effort to acquire foreign cruise missile technology and subsystems, particularly from Russia. The first LACM to enter production probably would be air-launched and could be operational early in the next century. Anti-ship Cruise Missiles (ASCMs). Technological improvements to the C-801/SARDINE and the C-802/SACCADE are providing a gradual upgrade to China's current force of antiquated, first generation, CSS-N-1/SCRUBBRUSH ASCMs. Despite the obsolescence of many of its ships, its lack of operational experience and its inability to resupply ASCMs at sea, the PLA Navy could assemble a sizable ASuW force against Taiwan and, most likely, saturate the Taiwanese Navy's defenses. IR AAMs, and the semi-active radar (SAR) homing version of the PL-8. In Navy with barrages of ASCMs. In addition, B-6D bombers subordinate to the PLA Naval Air Force (PLANAF) are capable of firing the C-601/KRAKEN ASCM. The Navy's new FB-7 bomber likely will carry C-801/C-802 ASCMs. China's ASCM capability is expected to improve further with the planned acquisition of two Russian-built SOVREMENNYY-class destroyers armed with the SS-N-22/SUNBURN ASCM. Taiwan Missile Defense. Taiwan's most significant vulnerability is its limited capacity to defend against the growing arsenal of Chinese ballistic missiles. These missiles pose a serious threat to non-hardened military targets, C2 nodes, and Taiwan's military infrastructure. As an initial response to this emerging threat, Taiwan has purchased the Modified Air Defense System (MADS), an improved variant of the PATRIOT surface-to-air missile (SAM) system which was used during DESERT STORM. The MADS, which began arriving in Taiwan in 1997, is expected to be deployed around heavily populated Taipei. Exclusive reliance on active missile defenses and associated BM/C3I, however, will not sufficiently offset the overwhelming advantage in offensive missiles which Beijing is projected to possess in 2005. PLA Air Force. The PLA Air Force (PLAAF) currently numbers over 400,000 personnel with approximately 4,500 combat aircraft organized in some 30 air divisions. The PLAAF also maintains about 150 transport aircraft in two air divisions. The PLAAF inventory includes over 2,200 obsolete F-6/FARMER fighters, several hundred F-7/FISHBED and F-8/FINBACK fighters, and over 40 Su-27/FLANKERs. In addition, it has some 500 A-5/FANTAN ground attack aircraft and about 500 bombers, including the obsolete B-5/BEAGLE. Both its aerial refueling and airborne early warning (AEW) programs are behind schedule, as are several of its indigenous aircraft development programs. By 2005, the PLAAF will possess nearly 2,200 tactical fighter aircraft, 500 ground attack aircraft, and 400 bombers, as older aircraft are retired. The majority of the mainland's air fleet still will be composed of second and third generation aircraft augmented by a limited number of fourth generation platforms. Command and control constraints and constricted airspace would limit the number of aircraft which the PLAAF could deploy at one time in an air battle over the Taiwan Strait. Fighters. The F-10, China's first domestically-produced fourth-generation fighter, reportedly is still undergoing testing and evaluation. The aircraft most likely will be armed with advanced beyond-visual-range (BVR), active radar (AR), air-to-air missiles (AAMs), and may be air refuelable. Domestic assembly of Su-27 kits has begun, with assistance from Russian technicians. Follow-on phases will involve assembly of an undetermined number of aircraft from a mixture of Russian- and Chinese-produced parts and, later, full domestic production of all but the aircraft's avionics and engine. The Su-27s originally purchased directly from Russia are the only fighter aircraft in the PLAAF inventory with sufficient combat radius to allow extended operations beyond China's borders. China will have made modest strides in its aerial refueling program by 2005. The F-8-II, other third generation aircraft modified to incorporate some fourth generation technology, as well as the F-10, are expected to possess aerial refueling capabilities. Air-to-Air Missiles (AAMs). The PLAAF currently has in its inventory a number of AAMs which are superior to those in Taiwan's inventory. The Russian-built AA-11/ARCHER infrared (IR) AAM carried on the Su-27 is superior to Taiwan's AIM-9/SIDEWINDER and indigenously-produced Tien Chien-I/SKY SWORD-I IR AAM. China's AA-10a/ALAMO missiles, on the other hand, are roughly comparable to, or slightly less capable than, Taiwan's AIM-7/SPARROWS. China's F-7 is capable of carrying the PL-2A and PL-5B IR AAMs, as well as the all-aspect PL-8 IR AAMs, while its F-8-IIs are capable of carrying the PL-2A, PL-5B IR AAMs, and the semi-active radar (SAR) homing version of the PL-8. PL-8, and the BVR semi-active radar (SAR) PL-4 and PL-10 AAMs. All of these missiles are comparable to Taiwan's AAMs. By 2005, Beijing likely will have an AR AAM in its inventory and could adapt it for use on a larger number of platforms than Taipei could match. The PLAAF also is developing BVR AAMs for use aboard its fourth generation fighter aircraft. Bombers. China's bomber aircraft include the B-6/BADGER and the B-5/BEAGLE. The B-5's slow speed and lack of standoff capability make this platform an extremely vulnerable target. The B-6 also is an aging aircraft. However, it is being produced in several versions. One variant is designed to carry an ASCM while another is being developed to carry an air-launched cruise missile (ALCM). The B-5 is being phased out of the inventory but it is still used in training and would probably be employed along with the B-6 bomber during a military conflict against Taiwan. However, both bombers would have limited success against Taiwan's air defense assets; the newer BADGER models incorporating cruise missile technology likely would have better success. Transports. One of the PLAAF's combat missions is to provide airlift in support of PLA operations. However, until just recently, the PLAAF was unable to transport ground forces rapidly to distant parts of the country or sustain ground operations for extended periods due to antiquated aircraft and the lack of large-capacity aircraft. The PLAAF transport force now is capable of supporting the PLA at increased levels for a limited time and rapidly deploying to internal trouble spots. However, the PLAAF's current complement of large transport aircraft is limited to about a dozen IL-76MD/CANDIDs and about 50 Y-8/CUBs; the remainder of the transport force consists of smaller aircraft like the AN-24/COKE, AN-26/CURL, and Y-5/COLT. The 1 Feb 99 MD variant of the CANDID is a military model specially configured for airborne operations. Beijing can be expected to purchase additional Russian IL-76 or similarly-sized foreign aircraft. The ongoing expansion of China's civil aircraft fleet will allow the PLAAF to use the country's civil airlines to supplement its transport capability during crises. Airborne. China's 15th Airborne Army consists of three airborne divisions, each with about 10,000 troops. The 15th is China's primary quick reaction force and has been designated as a strategic rapid reaction unit. However, China's airborne units remain handicapped by insufficient lift. Acquisition of additional aircraft and modern equipment, together with the increased emphasis on utilizing airborne forces during training exercises, will improve--albeit marginally-- the 15th's combat capabilities. Ground-Based Air Defense. Beijing is expending tremendous effort establishing an Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) at both the strategic and tactical levels. China's air defense technology currently lags behind western standards and its current IADS capability lacks many crucial components. Beijing probably could establish a fully operational national IADS within the next twenty years, but clearly not by 2005. China has a rudimentary tactical IADS capability in the form of its mobile Tactical Air Defense System (TADS). Taiwan Air Force. The Taiwan Air Force (TAF) has about 70,000 personnel and over 400 combat aircraft. The current inventory includes approximately 180 older F-5E/F fighters and over 100 more modern Indigenous Defense Fighters (IDFs). Fighters. The IDF has faced numerous developmental and operational problems since its inception in the 1980s. Nevertheless, its technical sophistication, with its fly-by-wire controls and blended wing-body design, is believed to be superior to any aircraft produced and deployed by China to date. Production of all 130 IDFs is scheduled to be completed by early 2000. Most of the IDFs are expected to be armed with the indigenously-produced, BVR Tien Chien-II (Sky Sword-II) AR AAM. Taiwan also has purchased 150 F-16 fighters from the United States: 120 single-seat ""A"" models and 30 two-seat ""B"" models. On-island deliveries, which began in April 1997, are continuing and should be completed by year's end. These aircraft are armed with upgraded AIM-7M/SPARROW SAR and AIM-9P4 and AIM-9S SIDEWINDER IR AAMs. Deliveries of 60 French-built Mirage 2000-5s also began in April 1997 and were completed by October 1998. With its four MICA active radar (AR) and two MAGIC II infrared (IR) AAMs, the Mirage 2000-5 is Taiwan's most formidable air defense fighter. The TAF's current strategy is to employ the IDF for low altitude interception and ground attack; the F-16 for mid altitude offshore interception and ground attack; and, the Mirage 2000-5 for high altitude offshore interception. Taiwan also is planning an upgrade program for about 100 F-5 fighters. The systemic integration and generational problems that affect Taiwan's overall forces with respect to modernization apparently are having the greatest impact on the TAF, where the technology curve is highest. I Feb 99 Air Defense Early Warning. Taiwan has established an air defense early warning network which, when used in conjunction with its ground-based SAMs and fourth-generation tactical aircraft, appears to pose a credible deterrent against an air attack from the mainland. Taiwan has replaced its old SKY NET air defense network with a new network called STRONG NET to provide a comprehensive picture of the surrounding airspace. Ground-Based Air Defense. The Improved HAWK (I-HAWK) SAM system remains the mainstay of Taiwan's air defense. It is a medium-range, low- to medium-altitude system, designed to defend fixed and mobile assets from high speed aircraft. The standard I-HAWK site consists of a pulse acquisition radar, a continuous wave acquisition radar, a high power illuminating target tracking radar, a range-only radar, and six three-missile launchers. Taipei also has deployed an indigenously-produced SAM--the Tien Kung or Sky Bow--designed to replace the recently retired NIKE-HERCULES system. The Tien Kung is a medium-to-long range system, reportedly based on early versions of the U.S. PATRIOT. The Tien Kung-I is a single-stage, solid-propellant missile. It is deployed in two configurations: as a mobile, containerized system employing a quad-box launcher similar in appearance to the M901 PATRIOT missile launcher and as a fixed, silo-launched SAM. A follow-on variant, the Tien Kung-II, is configured as a fixed, two-stage, single-rail or silo-launched system. For target acquisition, tracking, and mid-course missile guidance requirements, the Tien Kung employs a multifunction, phased-array radar with associated fire-control computer system and a continuous wave dish antenna illuminator which are tied into the radar in order to allow multiple target engagement. As noted previously, Taiwan also has purchased the MADS, a variant of the PATRIOT SAM system, primarily to serve in an anti-ballistic missile role. Short-range air defense coverage is provided primarily by the CHAPARRAL and the SKYGUARD systems. The CHAPARRAL consists of four modified AIM-9C SIDEWINDER missiles mounted on a tracked vehicle. The SKYGUARD is an integrated air defense system consisting of a modified AIM-7M/SPARROW AAM and a 35 mm AAA gun. Taiwan is expected to procure the STINGER/AVENGER SAM system. It is a pedestal-mounted system with two pods--each with four STINGER missiles--mounted on the back of a High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV). Taiwan's Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology (CSIST) has developed and publicly displayed a new tactical air defense which it has dubbed the ANTELOPE. According to promotional brochures, work on the ANTELOPE began in July 1995 as a direct by-product of the Tien Chien-I IR AAM. According to CSIST, the ANTELOPE consists of a target acquisition system, communication components, an operational control system, a carrier, and four 18-km maximum range Tien Chien-I IR AAMs. n-I missiles. It can be used to intercept low-flying helicopters, fighter aircraft, attack aircraft, and bombers and can be installed on a midsize truck or HMMWV. 1 Feb 99 . PLA Navy. The People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) currently numbers approximately 260,000 personnel, with over 50 destroyers and frigates, about 60 diesel and six Han- and Xia-class submarines, and nearly 50 landing ships. This force is complemented by several hundred auxiliary and smaller patrol vessels, as well as a naval air arm of over 500, mostly obsolete, fixed-winged aircraft and some 30 helicopters. Over the last decade, the PLAN has streamlined and modernized its forces by eliminating large numbers of older ships and replacing them with fewer, more modern units. The number of submarines has declined by about one-half. The size of the major surface combatant fleet has been relatively stable, with older ships slowly being replaced by newer Chinese-built destroyers and frigates. Nearly all of the PLAN's inventory of U.S.-built, World War II-vintage landing ships have been replaced by similar numbers of domestically-produced vessels. Nevertheless, the PLAN continues to lag behind other regional navies, including that of Taiwan, in most technological areas, especially air defense, surveillance, and C4I. Submarines. China maintains the overwhelming advantage in submarines over Taiwan and this quantitative advantage will continue through 2005. Moreover, while the number of boats in service in China is expected to decrease, their overall qualitative capabilities will increase. China is producing more modern submarines and is using submarine-related technology from Russia. Although the force is oriented principally toward interdicting surface ships using torpedoes and mines, China shortly will begin arming some of its submarines with a submerged-launch cruise missile. The capability of Chinese submarines to conduct ASW operations is expected to improve through 2005, in light of the acquisition of Russian-built KILO- class submarines and the greater emphasis being placed on ASW training. As a result, China's submarine fleet will constitute a substantial force capable of controlling sea lanes and mining approaches around Taiwan, as well as a growing threat to submarines in the East and South China Seas. Surface Combatants. China's fleet of major surface combatants includes about 40 frigates and 20 destroyers. All carry ASCMs, ranging from the antiquated, first- generation CSS-N-1/SCRUBBRUSH to the more advanced C-801/SARDINE and C- 802/SACCADE. Two Russian-built SOVREMENNYY-class destroyers, which China is expected to acquire in the next several years, likely will be equipped with the SS- N-22/SUNBURN ASCM. The PLAN's surface fleet will continue to strive to enhance both its readiness and endurance for extended operations within the region and around Taiwan. It likely will conduct more realistic training exercises and deploy more advanced anti-ship and air defense missiles and electronic countermeasures. Amphibious Forces. The PLAN's amphibious fleet provides sealift sufficient to transport approximately one infantry division. The PLAN also has hundreds of smaller landing craft, barges, and troop transports, all of which could be used together with fishing boats, trawlers, and civilian merchant ships to augment the naval amphibious fleet. Shortcomings in long-range lift, logistics, and air support, however, hinder China's ability to project amphibious forces. People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force (PLANAF). The missions of the PLANAF include protecting China's coastal airspace, providing air support for naval forces at sea, and conducting maritime search and rescue operations. The PLANAF has only a limited maritime strike capability with some 150 non-standoff B-6/BADGERs, A-5/FANTANSs, and B-5/BEAGLEs. However, these aircraft would be only marginally effective against most modern navies. Some of the approximately 30 B-6Ds provide Inside the PLANAF with a cruise missile ship interdiction strike capability utilizing the C-601/ KRAKEN ASCM. The standoff-capable FB-7 fighter-bomber, equipped with the C-801/ASCM, will not become operational for another two to three years. It likely will augment the B-6 and eventually replace some of the B-5s and A-5s in the PLANAF's inventory. Taiwan Navy. The Taiwan Navy has about 68,000 personnel and some 40 major surface combatants. In addition there are four submarines, about 100 patrol boats, 30 mine warfare ships, and 25 amphibious vessels. Despite the Navy's ability to refurbish and extend the service life of its vessels and equipment well beyond expectation, a large portion of the fleet consists of obsolescent World War II-era ships. The Navy's primary mission is to defend the island against a Chinese blockade and to protect Taiwan's sea lines of communication (SLOCs). The Navy's modernization program is intended to replace its aging fleet of surface combatants with newer ships like the French-built Lafayette-class frigate and a domestically-produced variant of the US Navy's Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate. Taiwan is acquiring advanced anti-submarine warfare technology which will likely improve their ability to counter PLA submarines operating off the coast of Taiwan. Submarines. Taiwan has four submarines: two relatively modern Dutch-built ZWAARDVIS Design boats (Hai Lung-class) acquired in the late 1980s and two obsolete, World War II-era GUPPY II boats provided by the United States in 1973 for ASW training. The two Dutch submarines reportedly are armed with wire-guided torpedoes. The US boats are used primarily as training platforms with a secondary mission to lay mines. Acquisition of additional submarines remains one of Taiwan's most important priorities. Surface Combatants. Taiwan's naval modernization program - dubbed ""Kuang Hua"" or ""Glorious China"" - includes the licensed-production of eight Perry-class (Cheng Kung-class) frigates; the purchase of six Lafayette-class (Kang Ting-class) frigates from France; and the lease of eight Knox-class frigates from the United States. Both the Perry-class and Lafayette-class frigates are armed with indigenously-produced Hsiung Feng II ASCMs, while the Knox-class frigates are equipped with the US-made Harpoon ASCM. Air defense weapons systems include the Standard air defense missile on board the Perry-class frigates and the Sea Chaparral on board the Lafayettes. The primary mission of these newer frigates is sea control, particularly the capability to protect the sea lanes beyond the range of coastal aircraft. The Navy also has more than a dozen older, World War II-era Gearing-class destroyers and numerous smaller combatants and auxiliaries in its operational inventory. The ""Kuang Hua"" program also includes the future acquisition of three types of smaller surface combatants: 12 Jin Chiang-class 580-ton guided missile patrol combatants; 10-14 1,500-2,000 ton corvettes; and 50 fast attack missile boats (150-250 tons) to replace the aging fleet of Hai Ou-class boats currently in the inventory. Taiwan Naval Air Force. Taiwan's small naval air force consists of 10 Hughes MD 500 short-range ASW helicopters, usually deployed aboard Taiwan's Gearing-class destroyers, and nine Sikorsky S-70C(M) ASW Thunderhawk helicopters, used with Taiwan's Perry- and Lafayette-class frigates. The 30 or so S-2T Tracker ASW/Maritime Patrol aircraft currently belonging to the TAF may be turned over to the Taiwan Navy in the future. PLA Ground Forces. China's ground forces are comprised of approximately 75 army maneuver divisions. Approximately 20 percent of these divisions are designated ""rapid reaction"" units - combined arms units capable of deploying by road or rail within China without significant train-up or reserve augmentation. China is continuing the process of reducing the size of its army. The 500,000-man force reduction currently underway will streamline the force and f facilitate funding to equip its ""core"" infantry, airborne, mechanized and aviation units with more advanced weapons. The army is supported by a large reserve-militia force numbering more than 1.5 million personnel and a one million man armed police force. Particularly since the 1991 Persian Gulf conflict, the PLA has devoted considerable resources to the development of special operation forces (SOFs). These units likely have been assigned specific missions and tasks in a variety of Taiwan contingencies, to include locating or destroying C4I assets, transportation nodes, and logistics depots; capturing or destroying airfields; destroying air defense assets; and, conducting reconnaissance operations. Traditionally, China's ground forces have been highly cohesive, patriotic, physically fit, and well trained in basic skills. In addition, they are generally strong in operational and communications security, as well as in the use of camouflage, concealment, and deception. Major weaknesses are lack of transport and logistic support. Ground force leadership, training in combined operations, and morale are poor. The PLA is still a party army with nepotism and political/family connections continuing to predominate in officer appointment and advancement. The soldiers, for the most part, are semi-literate rural peasants; there is no professional NCO corps, per se. Military service, with its low remuneration and family disruption, is increasingly seen as a poor alternative to work in the private sector. China's leadership is aware of these weaknesses and is trying to address them in its overall modernization program. Thus, increasingly in the future, officers likely will be promoted on merit as opposed to connections, and the ratio of higher educated volunteer servicemen to conscripts likely will increase. 12 Taiwan Ground Forces. Taipei's approximate 220,000-member Army is organized and trained to defend Taiwan and the offshore islands against an invasion. About 80 percent of the Army's combat strength is on Taiwan proper, under the control of three field armies. The three offshore island commands - Kinmen, Matsu, and Penghu - have a total of more than 50,000 soldiers. In 1997, the Army began an aggressive restructuring campaign to upgrade its combat effectiveness, emphasizing rapid reaction capabilities, airborne invasion interdiction, and special forces operations. The plan apparently calls for trimming the force to 200,000 personnel. The three existing field armies will remain intact; however, the Army will eliminate divisions as operational units in peacetime. Existing infantry and mechanized divisions will be reorganized into specialized combined arms brigades. The Taiwan Army's equipment modernization effort has focused on improving mobility and fire power, primarily through the acquisition of tanks, helicopters, and short-range air defense missiles. Taiwan is acquiring over 450 M-60A3 medium tanks; they will join an already large tank force consisting of some 450 M-48H and 300 M-48A5 medium tanks and over 1,000 much older M-41 and M-24 light tanks. Taiwan also has acquired 42 AH-1W Cobra attack and 26 OH-58D Kiowa scout helicopters. China - Information Operations. Information Warfare. China's information warfare (IW) program is in the early stages of research. It currently focuses on understanding IW as a military threat, developing effective countermeasures, and studying offensive employment of IW against foreign economic, logistics, and C4I systems. Driven by the perception that China's information systems are vulnerable, the highest priority has been assigned to defensive IW programs and indigenous information technology development. Some technologies could provide enhanced defensive or offensive capabilities against Taiwan military and civilian information infrastructure systems. Computer anti-virus solutions, network security, and advanced data communications technologies are a few examples. Chinese open source articles. It is reported that the PLA has incorporated IW-related scenarios into several recent operational exercises. Efforts have focused on increasing the PLA's proficiency in defensive measures, especially against computer viruses. Computer Warfare. In the area of Computer Network Attack, China appears interested in researching methods to insert computer viruses into foreign networks as part of its overall Information Operations (IO) strategy. Beijing reportedly has adequate hardware and software tools and possesses a strong and growing understanding of the technologies involved. China's strategic IO use of advanced information technologies in the short- to mid-term likely will lack depth and sophistication; however, as it develops more expertise in defending its own networks against enemy attack, it is likely to step up attempts to penetrate adversarial information systems. Electronic Warfare. The thrust of China's electronic warfare (EW) efforts continues to focus on technology development and design capabilities improvement, accomplished mainly through cooperation with Western companies, through reverse engineering efforts, and through the procurement of foreign systems. The inventory of Chinese EW equipment includes a combination of 1950s-1980s technologies, with only a few select military units receiving the most modern components. China is procuring state-of-the-art technology to improve its intercept, direction finding, and jamming capabilities. In addition to providing extended imagery reconnaissance and surveillance and ELINT collection, Beijing's unmanned aerial vehicle programs probably will yield platforms for improved radio and radar jammers. Additionally, existing earth stations can be modified to interfere with satellite communications. Finally, the PLA is developing an electronic countermeasures (ECM) doctrine and has performed structured training in an ECM environment. Anti-satellite (ASAT) Programs. China currently can detect and track most satellites with sufficient accuracy for targeting purposes. Beijing's only current means of destroying or disabling a satellite, however, would be to launch a ballistic missile or space launch vehicle armed with a nuclear weapon. Press articles indicate Chinese interest in a laser ASAT. Beijing apparently has research programs involving the relevant technologies, and already may possess the capability to damage, under specific conditions, optical sensors on satellites that are very vulnerable to damage by lasers. Sensors for Detection and Targeting. China currently is acquiring and developing new systems which will give it a variety of targeting capabilities it currently lacks. Detection and targeting will improve over time, as space-based sensors are launched; long distance reconnaissance drones are produced; and, AEW aircraft are put in service. Beijing reportedly is developing several reconnaissance satellites which could provide initial targeting data to long-range reconnaissance aircraft. The acquisition of an AEW platform capable of conducting data relays has held a high priority in the PLAAF's efforts to modernize. Beijing is expected to acquire several PHALCON AEW systems mounted on IL-76 airframes. The Chinese Navy also reportedly is acquiring Skymaster AEW radars. While Chinese officials claim these radars will be used for search and rescue operations, they could be used in AEW and surface surveillance roles. China conceivably could have fully operational AEW platforms by 2005. By 2000, Beijing will have access to commercial remote sensing overhead imagery in the 2.5 meter resolution range. Access to new overhead imagery platforms in the near term will enhance China's ability to map, surveil, and target. The Chinese already have had access to commercial satellite imagery from the French SPOT satellites, Indian IRS-1C satellite, Canadian RADARSAT, and various Russian satellites. This widely available commercial satellite imagery can be used to develop digital terrain maps. for targeting, missile guidance, and mission planning. Telecommunication Infrastructure. China's telecommunications infrastructure, composed of both civil and military communications networks, currently is being modernized. China's C4I infrastructures, supporting all levels of military and 14 1 Feb 99 civilian leadership, are receiving specific attention. The PLA communications network supports all branches of the armed forces and uses the same types of communications mediums as the civil network. Multiple transmission systems create a military communication system that is survivable, secure, flexible, mobile and less vulnerable to exploitation, destruction or electronic attack. Thus, while China's command and control networks could be degraded, it is unlikely that they could be denied. Overall, network performance is assessed as adequate. The military's lack of communications satellites could force the PLA to rely on foreign satellite services to meet military needs in wartime or a crisis. In the event of crisis, it is believed the military would preempt the domestic satellite systems for combat operations. Within the operational forces, mobile communications equipment probably will be fielded in greater numbers to maneuver units and increasingly will incorporate features such as encryption and frequency hopping. As a result, the PLA leadership eventually will be able to control its forces in a much more secure and timely manner over a wider and more dynamic range of missions than is currently possible. Deception. The PLA's modernization program includes improving military denial and deception doctrine and capabilities for use against potential adversaries at the strategic, operational, and tactical level. Recent Chinese military writings affirm that ""high technology warfare"" requires developing denial and deception techniques for countering U.S. precision weapons, advanced reconnaissance sensors, and command and control warfare doctrine. A 1993 Chinese National Defense University treatise, High Technology and Military Camouflage, suggests that the PLA recognizes the value of conducting deception operations, especially in a crisis involving Taiwan, to create ambiguity about Chinese intentions and force the Taiwan political and military leadership to misallocate resources. According to this study, ""deception is intended to induce the enemy to reach erroneous conclusions about the activities, deployment, and combat objectives of our forces. Camouflage and deception can disperse the enemy's troops, waste their firepower, and disrupt their high technology weapons."" Psychological Operations. The PLA historically has made extensive use of psychological operations (PSYOP) in all its military campaigns and has integrated PSYOP into its national military strategy. China is believed to have a robust capability to conduct PSYOP against Taiwan. Moreover, prominent articles on PSYOP in the Liberation Army Daily over the last few years indicate that the PLA is committed to improving its PSYOP capability. In earlier military campaigns--such as China's prolonged confrontation with Taiwan military forces on the offshore islands in the 1950s and 1960s and China's brief border war with Vietnam in 1979-- the PLA demonstrated that it has a range of techniques for disseminating PSYOP messages to opposing military forces and civilian populations. During these conflicts, PLA PSYOP units employed loudspeakers, leaflets, posters, and radio broadcasts to spread propaganda messages. China also has demonstrated in past conflicts that it is not averse to using ""black"" propaganda and disinformation campaigns based on specious assertions and fabricated evidence. Perhaps the best 15 1 Feb 99 example of this was the ""germ warfare"" propaganda campaign that was aggressively pursued by Chinese propagandists during the Korean War. This massive PSYOP campaign attempted to convince an international audience that U.S. forces, in collusion with Japan, were conducting germ warfare against the Chinese and North Korean populations. There are indications that formal doctrine development to guide future employment of these capabilities may be in progress. As new computer systems and technology are developed and as Taiwan increases its role in the manufacture of these systems, its capability to exploit its position for information warfare activities can be expected to increase substantially. Taiwan has demonstrated a significant knowledge of viruses. A virus known as ""Bloody"" or ""6/4"" protesting the Tiananmen Square crackdown was first discovered in Taiwan in 1990. In 1992, personnel from The Hague - with support from INTERPOL - investigated the dissemination of the ""Michelangelo"" virus by a Taiwan firm. In 1996, Taiwan virus writers developed and distributed a computer virus protesting Japanese claims to the Diaoyutai Islands. The following year, opponents of the Taiwan government developed a widely circulated Word-macro virus known as ""Con-Air"" which protested social problems on the island. Taiwan is also well known for the efforts by researchers and corporations to combat computer viruses. Trend Micro - formerly known as Trend Micro Devices - is an industry leader in anti-virus software and, to a lesser extent, other network security products. Trend Micro was the first company to develop a response to the ""Michelangelo"" virus; it currently dominates the anti-virus software market in Japan. Trend Micro has also led in the area of virus recognition technology. Taiwan's Academia Sinica has also made impacts in the area of anti-virus software development. Sensors for Detection and Targeting. During the 1980s, Taiwan's reconnaissance capability and 1970s vintage photographic technology was adequate for the limited capabilities and low threat posture of the PLAAF. Taiwan's airborne reconnaissance capability, however, began to decline precipitously in the 1990s. Last year, the TAF retired the last of its RF-104G tactical reconnaissance aircraft and replaced them with reconnaissance-configured RF-SE aircraft. Taipei continues to seek a new imaging system capable of exploiting targets at greater distances from the coast, but without exposing its reconnaissance flights to China's increasingly more sophisticated air defenses. Taiwan conducts technical and human intelligence operations against China and purchases French SPOT and US LANDSAT commercial imagery for exploitation. Telecommunications Infrastructure. Taiwan's telecommunications infrastructure is composed of a civilian communications system and a separate military communications system. The civilian system consists of a nationwide network of fixed telephone lines (coaxial and fiber optic), microwave, wireless (satellite, cellular, paging), and TV and radio broadcast. The military system reportedly also consists of a nationwide network of fixed telephone lines (coaxial and fiber optic) and microwave, as well as satellite, troposcatter, and HF/VHF radio. Taiwan is rapidly developing its telecommunications infrastructure with the goal of becoming an Asia-Pacific telecommunications hub. The Taiwan military could benefit from any improvements to the commercial architecture. In the past, satellite communications have played a relatively minor role in domestic communications; they were used primarily to link Taiwan to its offshore islands. INTELSAT provides this domestic function as well as international connections for Taiwan. Satellite communications using very small aperture terminals (VSAT) were placed into commercial service in 1989. Satellites may begin to play a larger role in Taiwan's domestic communications in the future, with the potential to also play a role in military communications. Taiwan is playing a more prominent role both domestically and internationally with the advent of a number of new satellite systems. Taiwan also is working on building its own satellites under the ROCSAT program. ROCSAT-1, which will include an experimental communications package, is scheduled to be launched in January 1999. Psychological Operations. Taiwan reportedly possesses a well-developed PSYOP capability, under the auspices of the General Political Warfare Department (GPWD). During previous periods of tense confrontation across the Taiwan Strait, the GPWD has demonstrated its ability to employ a wide variety of PSYOP techniques, including broadcasting propaganda messages; using balloons, kites, artillery shells, and various flotation devices to deliver propaganda messages; and, offering financial inducements to potential defectors. China's leadership reportedly is considered an especially hard target for Taiwan's PSYOP forces. Given the continuous attention the Chinese military leadership has given to the indoctrination of its forces, PLA troops also are not likely to be susceptible to Taiwan's PSYOP. China - Other Factors. Military Leadership. The PLA does not approach leadership in the same way as Western military forces, placing greater emphasis on technical skills than on leadership development. The PLA's leadership culture is also risk averse, favoring the status quo over change. Historical experiences and decades of Communist propaganda have made the majority of Chinese military leaders suspicious of the outside world and its attitudes toward China's increasing power and influence. Relatively few senior officers have traveled abroad, although the military has undertaken a significant military diplomatic effort since the early 1990s that is overcoming this deficiency. The result of this physical and intellectual isolation has been the development of a strongly nationalistic outlook among the officer corps that could color negatively the leadership's approach to international developments seen impacting China's sovereignty or security. 17 China's military leadership is united on its desire to acquire or improve selected military capabilities in the near term. In the longer term, military leaders want to overhaul significantly the entire armed forces to create a smaller, technically more advanced instrument to fight in the immediate vicinity of China's borders. There is also a corresponding emphasis on military professionalism in China. While the political commissar system still exists and political officers share joint command with their operational brethren, the military now emphasizes operational training over political indoctrination. This trend will create a less politicized officer corps, especially among junior and mid-grade officers. It also will move the military leadership toward forming a more corporate military identity. Senior Chinese officers are studying modern technological advances and how these can best be incorporated into the current and projected military doctrine and structure. These officers are still generally more familiar and comfortable with an operational level of conflict that relies primarily on ground forces to achieve objectives. Below the most senior level, an increasing number of officers in command positions are conversant in, and somewhat experienced with, modern technological and operational concepts like joint operations. Nevertheless, the military has recently renewed its emphasis on upgrading scientific and technical education in order to overcome perceived deficiencies in the officer corps in this respect. Training. In recent years, China has shown a growing willingness to experiment with new aspects of training. Training has become more realistic and challenging, with an increased participation by opposition force units and greater emphasis on combined arms. Although intra-service training at the tactical level is improving, joint exercises are still tightly controlled and limited. indicative of the difficulty the PLA likely would have in executing operational-level battle plans. While this past year's summer floods disrupted training for a large percentage of the PLA, certain exercises were not cancelled, particularly those emphasizing Beijing's commitment to improve joint training. Professional Military Education. Professional military education for both officers and NCOs in the PLA is a high priority for Beijing. Institutional structures designed to instill a high degree of professionalism throughout the force were conspicuously absent in China until 1978, when the PLA began to address educational shortfalls. Since that time, Beijing has established a number of educational institutions throughout the military, although the emphasis remains on the officer corps. The key organization shaping the professional development of the senior PLA officer corps is the National Defense University (NDU). It instructs senior officers in areas such as Strategic studies, operational art, organizational command and management, combined arms and joint service operations, foreign military studies, and logistics. The NDU also provides information and advice on military modernization and broad strategic issues to national-level organizations; it also performs research on various strategic and operational military issues. The second tier in the PLA's officer education system consists of military colleges and academies which prepare field grade officers for regimental-level command and address the fundamentals of joint and combined arms operations. The curriculum concentrates on company, battalion, and regimental tactics. In addition, the schools teach basic joint operations. A small number of schools also train students in specialty staff duties, such as engineering and communications. The lowest tier of officer education is provided by military colleges and academies for junior officers and mid-rank officers; they provide multiple avenues for undergraduate and general military education. The curriculum consists of three and four year undergraduate programs and a two year vocational program. The majority of the cadets are upper middle school graduates. The PLA's NCO Corps is in its infancy, having been established only in the late 1980s. Chinese NCOs--former conscripts who are allowed to remain on active duty following their initial enlistment--are classified as either ""master sergeants"" or ""technical sergeants."" Newly selected NCOs attend a six-month training program at the MR academies. Training is limited to tactics for the master sergeants and technical subjects for the technical sergeants. Beijing has not yet established formal education programs for NCOs beyond their initial training. Joint/Integrated Operations. The PLA conducts interservice exercises at the tactical level, but the services are not fully integrated into a cohesive combat force. Disparate elements train simultaneously and in proximity, but do not appear to be controlled at the operational level by a joint commander and staff. Ground and air components exercise together with regularity and are improving their interoperability. Integration of ground and naval forces, however, is rarely exercised, particularly at the operational level, where synchronization and command and control are of greatest importance in the conduct of complex operations. The navy is beginning to conduct more combined operations between ships and naval aircraft. The PLA also is looking into the possibility of instituting a ""joint command"" structure at the operational or theater level, similar to that of the U.S. military. Accordingly, a commander would exercise operational control over all military forces assigned to and deployed in a particular area. These ""joint commands"" likely would be given specifically assigned missions in response to particular threats or security requirements. Morale. Morale within the PLA, particularly among enlisted personnel, is assessed as military training is generally considered to be of high quality. The emphasis on modernization and technological advancements has led to an increased focus on training for high-tech warfare. However, there are concerns that the focus on high-tech training may come at the expense of traditional combat skills. Additionally, the lack of a large-scale conflict in recent years has limited the opportunities for realistic training. To address these issues, Taiwan has increased joint training with the United States and other allies, as well as investing in simulation and other training technologies. Overall, the quality of Taiwan's military training is considered to be on par with other modern militaries. large-scale training normally takes place quarterly with the major training centers hosting limited maneuver and live-fire exercises. HAN KUANG 14, conducted in mid-May 1998, was one of Taipei's more typical joint exercises to date. Primarily a C4I exercise, the training was of very short duration and the scenario allowed for only limited exercise play. Taipei scheduled another ""joint exercise"" on 12 October 1998, but then cancelled it as a ""goodwill gesture"" toward Beijing in the run-up to the resumption of high level cross-Strait talks on 14 October. A dress rehearsal on 7 October also was cancelled, although a ""preliminary dress rehearsal"" was held on 2 October. It consisted of a series of live-fire demonstrations showcasing some of Taiwan's most modern military equipment. Professional Military Education. Professional military education of Taiwan's officer corps is conducted along two developmental lines: the universal track for regular career officers and the professional track for officers in specialized fields like political affairs, medicine, and engineering. The universal track is the general military education for officers provided at the three service academies. Graduates receive a bachelor's degree after completing 130 university-level credit hours. The Naval Academy concentrates on science and engineering, while the Air Force Academy curriculum focuses on aerospace-related courses and includes supervised flight training beginning in the second year. Newly commissioned Army officers go on to branch schools, i.e., infantry, army, and artillery. Education in the professional track is conducted at specialized schools like the Fu Hsing Kang College, the Defense Medical College, the Defense Management College, and the Chung Cheng Institute of Technology. Mid-career and senior career professional military education is conducted at the Armed Forces University (AFU). Tracing its roots back to 1906, AFU is the highest level institution in the Taiwan military education system. It is responsible for training strategic-level command and staff officers, as well as specialists in defense administration and military intelligence. It also conducts research into the development of war strategies and political warfare. AFU includes four colleges: the War College for senior field grade and general officers and the Command and Staff Colleges of the Army, Navy, and Air Force for junior field grade officers. Morale. Morale, especially among the enlisted ranks, is generally assessed as poor, amidst efforts to retain competent, educated service members in the face of stiff private sector competition. The military competes poorly with the civilian economy in attracting Taiwan's youth, especially those who are technically-oriented. Continued personnel shortages stemming from low retention rates-- especially among NCOs--will remain a serious problem affecting morale. The military also is hampered by systemic problems of poor, antiquated management and a traditional military culture with very rigid command structures which discourages lower-level risk-taking, decision-making, and innovation. The Taiwan Army especially is facing morale problems stemming from the ongoing restructuring and downsizing. 21 1 Feb 99 While the operational outlook and overall morale of TAF pilots is significantly better than that of PLAAF pilots-- largely due to better training opportunities and exposure to and hands-on experience with more modern Western equipment--there exists a disparity between the military and civilian aviators in pay and benefits, which inevitably affects morale. Logistics and Sustainability. Taiwan's logistics capability will support some defensive operations on Taiwan, but its probability of success is highly dependent on the tempo of operations. The military reportedly is trying to make the logistics system more efficient to better support combined or joint force operations. In the interim, logistics support will remain cumbersome. Chinese missile advantage. effective--for localized engagements. Taiwan's defenses rely heavily on air and naval forces, both requiring an extensive maintenance and repair infrastructure to support weapons systems and equipment. The critical requirements are major equipment end items like engines and transmissions, ammunition, fuel and especially obsolete spare parts which no longer are being manufactured. IV. THE DYNAMIC BALANCE Currently, China's more than 2.5-million-man PLA dwarfs Taiwan's defense force of about 400,000. In most cases, equipment totals also are lopsided. Only a portion of this overall strength, however, could be brought to bear against Taiwan at one time. China has nearly 4,500 combat aircraft, as compared with some 400 on Taiwan. The Chinese Navy has about 65 attack submarines--five of which are nuclear powered-- as compared with four diesel attack submarines for Taiwan. China has over 60 major surface combatants while Taiwan has no more than 40. China has nuclear weapons and a ballistic missile force that can deliver nuclear or conventionally-armed warheads against Taiwan. In terms of the quality of their military equipment, however, Taipei possesses an edge over Beijing, as new weapons systems--particularly fighter aircraft and naval frigates--are entering the inventory. Should China decide to use military force against Taiwan, there are several options or courses of action available to Beijing, including--but not limited to--an interdiction of Taiwan's SLOCs and a blockade of Taiwan's ports, a large-scale missile attack, and an all-out invasion. Blockade. The primary intent behind a blockade of the island would be to cripple Taiwan economically and isolate it internationally. China's leaders apparently believe that this option would be less likely to provoke outside intervention than others. Beijing probably would choose successively more stringent quarantine- blockade actions, beginning with declaring maritime exercise closure areas and stopping Taiwan-flagged merchant vessels operating in the Taiwan Strait. Operations likely would include mine laying and deploying submarines and surface ships to enforce the blockade. Barring third party intervention, the PLAN's quantitative advantage over Taiwan's Navy in surface and sub-surface assets would be overwhelming over time. Taiwan's military forces would probably not be able to keep the island's key ports and SLOCs open in the face of concerted Chinese military action. Taiwan's small surface fleet and four submarines are numerically insufficient to counter China's major surface combatant force and its ASW assets would likely have difficulty defeating a blockade supported by China's large submarine force. The PLANAF's B-6D bombers armed with C-601 ASCMs would place Taipei's merchant ships and combatants at serious risk. Missile Strikes. Within the next several years, the size of China's SRBM force is expected to grow substantially. An expanded arsenal of conventional SRBMs and LACMs targeted against critical facilities, such as key airfields and C4l nodes, will complicate Taiwan's ability to conduct military operations. By 2005, China will have deployed both the CSS-6 and CSS-7 SRBM. In addition, the PLA could have a first generation, air-launched LACM in its inventory. Should Beijing choose escalation, a rapid transition from relatively low-intensity blockade operations to massive missile strikes would be a likely step, particularly as a pretext to an invasion. These missile attacks would most likely be high-volume, precision strikes against priority military and political targets, including air defense facilities, airfields, Taiwan's C2 infrastructure, and naval facilities. China, however, could encounter problems coordinating missile firings with other concurrent military operations, such as air and maritime engagements. Exclusive Taiwan reliance on active missile defenses and associated BM/C3I, however, will not sufficiently offset the overwhelming Chinese missile advantage. Advantage in offensive missiles which Beijing is projected to possess in 2005. Air Superiority. Maintaining air superiority over the Taiwan Strait would be an essential part of any Chinese effort to mount a military operation against Taiwan. China currently has an overwhelming quantitative advantage over Taiwan in military aircraft and will retain that advantage beyond 2005. On the other hand, Taiwan's more modern aircraft will provide it with a qualitative advantage that should be retained at least through that period. PLA electronic warfare operations against air defense radars, disruption of command and control networks, and/or large scale conventional surface-to-surface missiles (SRBM) and land-attack cruise missiles (LACM) strikes against airfields and SAM sites would reduce the effectiveness of Taiwan’s air defenses. The future effectiveness of the TAF will depend on the implementation of sound pilot training, sufficient logistics and maintenance support, and the ability of the TAF to integrate satisfactorily several disparate airframes into a cohesive, operational fighting force. For its part, Beijing is faced with similar training, maintenance, and logistics challenges, complicated further by a still questionable capability on the part of its aerospace industry to keep pace with rapidly evolving technologies. Nevertheless, while the majority of the mainland’s air fleet will still be composed of second and third generation aircraft, the sheer numerical advantage of older platforms augmented by some fourth generation aircraft could attrit Taiwan's air defenses sufficiently over time to achieve air superiority. 23 1 Feb 99 Amphibious Invasion. An amphibious invasion of Taiwan by China would be a highly risky and most unlikely option for the PLA, chosen only as a last resort to force the total surrender of the island. It most likely would be preceded by a variety of preparatory operations to include a blockade, conventional missile strikes, and special operations on Taiwan. These operations would play a critical role in determining how China would pursue the coup de grace, with an amphibious assault only one facet of a multi-pronged invasion plan. Beijing's amphibious lift capability is extremely limited at present and there are no indications that China is devoting resources to improve significantly its amphibious assault capability. As a result, success only would be achieved with a massive commitment of military and civilian assets over a long period of time and without third party intervention; furthermore, an invasion would bring almost certain damage to China's economy and its diplomatic interests, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. The first move in an invasion plan likely would be a SLOC/blockade interdiction operation. The PLAAF and PLANAF would try to establish an air defense umbrella over the Taiwan Strait in preparation for local air superiority operations. Ground- based air defense assets would deploy forward and be integrated into the umbrella. Naval surface action groups would begin operations near Taiwan's major ports. Announced missile closure areas and port mining by submarines would be designed to canalize traffic and force Taiwan naval vessels into engagement areas. Ground force mobilization likely would begin and PLA combat air patrols over the Taiwan Strait would intensify. Invasion operations would follow sufficiently close on the heels of conventional missile attacks to prevent Taipei from repairing and reconstituting damaged facilities. As the PLA's amphibious lift capacity in 2005 would still be limited, an amphibious over-the-beach assault would be extremely problematic. Rather, airborne, airmobile, and special operations forces likely would conduct simultaneous attacks to the rear of Taiwan's coastal defenses to seize a port, preferably in close proximity to an airfield. Seizing a beachhead likely would constitute a supporting attack. An airborne envelopment would facilitate amphibious operations by cutting off Taiwan's coastal defenders from the mainland. m supply lines and forcing them to fight in two directions. Beijing's suppression of Taiwan's air defenses would be followed rapidly by a ""second-wave"" air attack which would attempt to establish air superiority over an invasion corridor in the Taiwan Strait. Priority for air defense protection and fighter escort operations would shift from bombers carrying ASCMs to fixed- and rotary-wing transports ferrying additional airborne and airmobile assault forces. Both China's amphibious fleet and a large portion of its huge merchant fleet would complete rapid reaction unit upload operations and depart from ports along the central coast. China also likely would saturate the Taiwan Strait with a huge number of noncombatant merchant and fishing vessels, with the aim of confusing and overwhelming Taipei's surveillance and target acquisition systems. The PLA’s success in establishing and maintaining a foothold on the island would rest on a variety of intangibles to include personnel and equipment attrition rates on both sides of the Strait; the interoperability of PLA forces; and the ability of China's logistic system to support adequately optempo operations. In order for an invasion to succeed, in other words, Beijing would have to possess the capability to conduct a multi-faceted campaign, involving air assault, airborne insertion, special operations raids, amphibious landings, maritime area denial operations, air superiority operations and conventional missile strikes. The PLA likely would encounter great difficulty conducting such a sophisticated campaign by 2005. Nevertheless, the campaign likely would succeed--barring third party intervention--if Beijing were willing to accept the almost certain political, economic, diplomatic, and military costs that such a course of action would produce. Information Dominance. The Chinese currently are focusing on eliminating specific deficiencies they have in both areas of IO/IW technology and training. The PLA is engaged in efforts to improve the staff planning process by applying joint forces concepts learned from studying foreign IO/IW doctrine. Recent IO/IW military exercises claim to have included computer network attack and defend exercises. Public disclosure of these IO/IW exercises serves as an informational tool for the PLA to understand the future importance of IO/IW in Chinese military doctrine and reaffirms China's intent to continue developing and improving its IO/IW capability. In spite of these activities, the Chinese have many challenges to overcome and Beijing's ability to paralyze Taiwan's command and control appears limited at best. On the other side of the Taiwan Strait, IO may be an attractive--but untested tool--in multiplying the effectiveness of Taiwan's military forces. As one of the world's largest producers of computer components, Taiwan has all of the basic capabilities needed to carry out offensive IO-related activities, particularly computer network attacks and the introduction of malicious code. Formal doctrine development to guide future employment of these capabilities already may be in progress. As Taiwan increases its role in the manufacture of new computer warfighting systems, Taipei's capability to exploit its position for IO activities can be expected to increase substantially. V. CONCLUSIONS During the twenty-year period from 1979 to 1999, the security situation in the Taiwan Strait has exhibited simultaneously both significant change in some respects and remarkable constancy in others. The greatest change has occurred in the political and diplomatic arenas, a reflection of the political changes which have taken place in both Beijing and Taipei, and between Beijing and Taipei. On the other hand, despite the modest qualitative improvement in the military forces of both China and Taiwan, the dynamic equilibrium of those forces in the Taiwan Strait has not changed dramatically over the last two decades, except in a few niche areas like China's deployment of SRBMs. Despite anticipated improvements to Taiwan's missile and air defense systems, by 2005, the PLA will possess the capability to attack Taiwan with air and missile strikes which would degrade key military facilities and damage the island's economic infrastructure. China will continue to give priority to long-range precision-strike programs. Similarly, despite improvements in Taiwan's ability to conduct ASW operations, China will retain the capability to interdict Taiwan's SLOCs and blockade the island's principal maritime ports. Should China invade Taiwan, such an operation would require a major commitment of civilian air and maritime transport assets, would be prolonged in duration, and would not be automatically guaranteed to succeed. In the end, any of these options would prove to be costly to Beijing--politically, economically, diplomatically, and militarily. Beyond 2005, development of a modern military force capable of exerting military influence within the region, achieving deterrence against potential enemies, preserving independence of action in domestic and foreign affairs, protecting the nation's economic resources and maritime areas, and defending the sovereignty of the nation's territory will remain one of China's national priorities. Beijing will strive to create a smaller, more modern, better trained, more professional, and better logistically supported force, with an emphasis on air, naval and missile forces. China will continue to improve its regional force projection capabilities, but will not possess the conventional military capabilities to exert global influence. The PLA will field large numbers of increasingly accurate SRBMs and introduce LACMs into its inventory. China's naval forces will continue their transition from a large coastal defense force to a smaller, more modern force able to conduct limited sea control operations against regional opponents in the East and South China Seas. China's air force will continue to assimilate greater numbers of fourth generation aircraft into its inventory, upgrade its regional IADS, and expand its airborne refueling and AEW capabilities. China will retain a numerical advantage over Taiwan in terms of both personnel and weapons. On the other side of the Taiwan Strait, by 2005, Taipei will possess a qualitative edge over Beijing in terms of significant weapons and equipment. The TAF will have over 300 fourth generation fighters. Six French-built Lafayette-class frigates, eight U.S. Knox-class frigates, and eight Perry-class frigates will form the nucleus of Taiwan's naval force. Taiwan will possess an advanced air defense network, comprising an AEW capability, an automated C2 system, and several modern SAM systems, which will provide Taiwan with an enhanced defensive capability against both aircraft and missiles. The mobility and firepower of Taiwan's ground forces will have been improved with the acquisition of additional tanks, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery and attack helicopters. Taiwan's primary security goal beyond 2005 will be to maintain the status quo, while retaining its long-term objective of eventual peaceful reunification with China on terms favorable to Taipei. Taiwan will seek to advance its international status, maintain a strong economy, modernize its military forces, and further democratize the island's political system. At the same time, Taipei will endeavor to expand political, cultural, and economic ties with Beijing, thereby reducing tensions with China and lessening the prospects of military conflict in the Taiwan Strait. Taiwan's military strategy will remain defensive. Its success in deterring potential Chinese aggression will be dependent on its continued acquisition of modern arms, technology and equipment and its ability to deal with a number of systemic problems -- primarily the recruitment and retention of technically qualified personnel and the maintenance of an effective logistics system. Let Taipei once again risk losing its qualitative edge." "Subject: SAP System Response Update As you may be aware, SAP system response time was slow during earlier this week.

Hello. Trabeculations are a normal findings in the left ventricle in both the adults and children. When these become excessive along with an increase in LV thickness, then it is considered abnormal. Now this slightly increased trabeculations is entirely a subjective finding. One may interpret as increased, while the other may think these as normal. So, considering the normal ejection fraction of 70 percent and other normal dimensions, this may be a normal finding. However, since there is some doubt created now, it is better to repeat an echo after a year or two or if any symptoms appear.

BOYCE SECRET To seek national office in 1987, businessman Enrique Zobel harbors comparable ambitions, but seems unclear as to how he might pursue them. This may reflect the conclusions of all these men that whatever Marcos says, he cannot last beyond 1987. If he makes it that far, conversely, Marcos may be stimulating some of this in the hope that he can draw strength from the competition among potential successors, as each seeks his support and blessing. While Mrs. Marcos has been away, she evidently has not been idle. Circumstantial evidence suggests that she continues actively to maintain her own options and seek to undercut the influence of rivals. There are plausible rumors that the Romualdez clan is financing defense minister Enrile's principal rival, former congressman Tito Dupaya, in Cagayan Province. Mrs. Marcos may have inspired an effort last week by deputy prime minister Rono to try to force prime minister Virata to withdraw from the assembly race in Cavite Province in order to make a place for Helena Genitez (the aunt of the first lady's principal advisor, ""Jolly"" Senitez). Without being elected to the assembly, Virata's hope of regaining control as prime minister after May would be seriously compromised. Happily, he evidently decided to ignore Rono's advice and is still planning to run. Nonetheless, the episode is disquieting, for it suggests that elements within the regime are now willing to disregard Marcos even at a time when negotiations with the IMF hang in the balance. The IMF team leader, Hubert Neiss, apparently picked up rumors of an effort to phase Virata out after the elections, and this may have accounted for IMF skepticism about the regime's readiness to face up to harsh economic realities. The Agravante Board is likely pursuing leads which can only further damage the government's credibility. Heartened by evidence collected in Japan, the Board has now asked for access to potential witnesses in the United States who recently provided affidavits to the Solarz Subcommittee. They have alleged that the military plotted to kill Aquino. Testimony taken by the Board in Manila this week deepens suspicions of military involvement in the assassination and government efforts to orchestrate a cover-up. As the Board amasses more and more circumstantial evidence of this kind, the possibility that senior government officials may be directly implicated is growing. The financial situation is even bleaker, and the IMF standby agreement remains elusive. It seems increasingly unlikely that the IMF will approve a letter of intent until the government is prepared to initiate a clean float. So long as Marcos refuses to take this step prior to the election, the business sector will continue to lose confidence in the economy, with the result that the peso will continue to slide. This will further impair the government's ability to finance its deficit and pay off its foreign debts. The only remaining question is how much longer the government can continue to hold on without major concessions to the IMF. The World Bank has already suspended lending, and the IMF will soon have to follow suit. The government's credibility will be further damaged, and the Philippines will sink deeper into a financial crisis. The bottom line is that the Philippines is in crisis. The government's credibility is shattered, its economic situation is desperate, and its popularity is at an all-time low. The nation is in danger of becoming a failed state, and the United States will be left to clean up the mess. We must do everything we can to prevent this from happening. The situation is deteriorating rapidly, and we must act quickly and decisively to avert disaster. GDP, UNEMPLOYMENT WILL GROW, PRICES WILL INCREASE, EXPORT OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE FORFEITED, AND THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL OF THE ECONOMY SHOULD MAKE LIFE MORE DIFFICULT FOR KSL POLITICIANS IN THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS.

BUT HE HAS BEEN FORCEO TO BECOME INVOLVED IN ORDER TO COPE WITH THE HEAVY INFIGHTING WITHIN THE KBL. ALTHOUGH HE HAS NOT YET PUBLICLY ENDORSED ANY CANDIDATES, HE HAS INDICATED THAT HE WILL DO SO IN THE NEAR FUTURE. HE HAS ALSO RECENTLY MADE IT CLEAR THAT HE INTENDS TO TAKE A MUCH MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN THE ELECTIONS THAN HE ORIGINALLY INTENDED. THIS WILL BE ESPECIALLY TRUE IF THE OPPOSITION CONTINUES TO GAIN GROUND IN THE CAMPAIGN. THE PRESIDENT'S PRESENCE WILL BE FELT IN THE CAMPAIGN, BUT THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT HE WILL BECOME INVOLVED IN THE KIND OF HARASSMENT OF THE OPPOSITION THAT CHARACTERIZED THE 1983 ELECTIONS. IN FACT, THE PRESIDENT HAS PUBLICLY STATED THAT HE WANTS THE ELECTIONS TO BE FREE AND FAIR AND THAT HE DOES NOT WANT TO SEE ANYONE ""CHEATING"" IN THE ELECTIONS. THE PRESIDENT IS ALSO SAID TO BE PREPARED TO CONSIDER CHANGES IN THE CABINET AFTER THE ELECTIONS. MOST OBSERVERS HERE BELIEVE THAT THE PRESIDENT WILL BE FORCEO TO CONSIDER A CABINET RESHUFFLE IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE OPPOSITION LEADERS AND TO WIN BACK SOME OF THE SUPPORT HE HAS LOST IN RECENT MONTHS. 6.

Me and my hunsband tried to have baby for 4 months but not sucessful. Doctor said that my endometrial near ovulation is 6mm which is too thin. However my husband have colitis and need to take mesalazine which been stopped 7 month already in order to have a healthy baby, but seems like it is not good for him to stop taking it for his health. Thus, we have to have a baby as soon as possible so that he can continue to take mesalazine. Would you please let me know if 6mm endometrial near ovulation is to thin to have a baby? How I can thick my endometrial and have a healthy baby because in those days I find healthy is really important! You can have nothing but health! Thanks a lot for your help! Hello, and I hope I can help you today.First of all, I want to reassure you that no matter what your endometrial measurement may be, 80% of couples will conceive within one year naturally. Couples are not diagnosed as infertile until you have been trying and been unable to become pregnant for over one year.Endometrial thickness is really only relevant in the context of couples trying to get pregnant through in vitro fertilization. The thickness of your uterine lining is somewhat related to your estrogen levels. When couples are undergoing IVF, treating with additional estrogen can thicken the uterine lining. However, because you've been only trying to get pregnant for four months, your endometrial lining may have absolutely nothing to do with the reason why you have not yet conceived. Furthermore, unless your husband's sperm count has been shown to be decreased, Mesalazine should not have any effect on fertility nor should affect any health of a developing baby should you conceive. Medications taken during pregnancy by the mother can affect the fetus, but not any medication taken by the father, because medication cannot be transmitted before fertilization through sperm. So unless the medication causes the sperm count to be low or abnormal, there is no medical reason why your husband needs to be off his medication for colitis in order for you and need to conceive successfully. I suggest that if he needs the medication for his health that he continue to take it. As for is maximizing your chance of healthy pregnancy, the best thing you can do is get plenty of sleep, eat a well-balanced diet, take prenatal vitamins, and tried to have regular(at least 2 to 3 days a week) unprotected intercourse from the time your menstrual period finishes until you begin to feel premenstrual symptoms.I hope that I was able to adequately answer your question today, and I wish you and your husband the best of luck in conceiving.Best wishes,Dr. Brown",Confidential,Medical_PHI_2k,"hi, Really need help!

THE PROPOSED TRAINING IS TO BE TARGETED ON AFGHAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WHOSE EDUCATION WAS INTERRUPTED BY THE SOVIET INVASION. IT IS PLANNED THAT THE NEW PROJECT CONTRACTOR WILL IDENTIFY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WHO HAD COMPLETED AT LEAST A YEAR OR TWO OF FORMAL EDUCATION. THE CONTRACTOR WOULD THEN DEVELOP INDIVIDUAL TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS WHICH WOULD BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE LIFE OF PROJECT. SUCH TRAINING COULD TAKE PLACE AT AGRICULTURE UNIVERSITIES IN PAKISTAN, OR THIRD COUNTRY INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES IN LOS BANOS, AND, PERHAPS, THE U.S. THE PAKISTAN MINISTRY OF EDUCATION HAS INDICATED INTEREST IN ACCEPTING AFGHAN STUDENTS AS FOREIGN STUDENTS IN ITS VARIOUS AGRICULTURE COLLEGES. SOME FORMER AFGHAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM SUCH TRAINING HAVE ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED.

THE CONTRACTOR WILL THEN BE ABLE TO USE THESE RUPEES TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL COMMODITIES FOR EXPORT TO AFGHANISTAN. --THE ENTIRE PROCESS WILL BE REPEATED UNTIL THE FUNDS IN THE CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT ARE EXHAUSTED. THE AMOUNT OF LOCAL CURRENCY AVAILABLE FOR THE PURCHASE OF COMMODITIES WILL VARY DEPENDING ON THE EXCHANGE RATE BETWEEN THE U.S. DOLLAR AND THE PAKISTAN RUPEE AT THE TIME OF EACH TRANSACTION. THE CONTRACTOR WILL BE ABLE TO SELL COMMODITIES TO AFGHANISTAN ONLY IN THE AMOUNT OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNED FROM THE SALE OF COMMODITIES TO PAKISTAN. --THE AID/REP CONTRACTOR WILL BE REQUIRED TO DEPOSIT IN A SEPARATE ACCOUNT THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNED FROM THE SALE OF COMMODITIES TO PAKISTAN. THE AMOUNT OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE IN THIS ACCOUNT WILL BE USED TO REIMBURSE THE AID/REP CONTRACTOR FOR THE COST OF COMMODITIES PURCHASED LOCALLY FOR EXPORT TO AFGHANISTAN.

THE PURCHASING AGREEMENT WILL BE NEGOTIATED WITH MAJOR PAKISTANI FIRMS AND TRADERS. THE AGREEMENT WILL INCLUDE THE PURCHASE OF COMMODITIES FOR EXPORT TO AFGHANISTAN, AS WELL AS THE PURCHASE OF LOCAL SUPPLIES AND SERVICES FOR THE PROJECT'S ACTIVITIES. --THE PROCUREMENT OF COMMODITIES MANUFACTURED IN PAKISTAN WILL ALSO HELP TO STIMULATE THE PAKISTANI ECONOMY AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL BENEFITS TO THE COUNTRY. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED BY INCREASING THE DEMAND FOR LOCAL GOODS AND SERVICES AND CREATING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. --THE PRIVATE SECTOR AGRIBUSINESS COMPONENT WILL ALSO HELP TO EXPAND PAKISTAN'S EXPORTS TO AFGHANISTAN AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE REGION. THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED BY INCREASING THE AVAILABILITY AND COMPETITIVENESS OF PAKISTANI GOODS IN THESE MARKETS. --THE GOP'S AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR AGRIBUSINESS COMPONENT IS AN IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AAM AMENDMENT.

By doing this ALL day long she is very fatigue and tired by the evening time .

Thank you jessica Dear Jessica, I appreciate your concern regarding your child. I am doubtful if the EEG report says ""Tics"" on impression.
