Attached is a letter
addressing a project called
"Water Lily." It is the development of a proposed Naval Base
in South Sumatra that came to my attention approximately one
year ago. F I
ultimate Indonesian aims are to provide an alternative
facility that could eventually be used by us instead of
Clark/Subic. Given the studied nonalignment of Indonesia, at
least most of the current leadershi , this is difficult to
believe. if Indonesia has such
plans, they should approach us officially, as we are in no
position to do so.=
Could you have the appropriate people look into this to find
out what Indonesia has in mind for the facility? It is of
interest, even if only for Indonesian use, but if they have
eventual plans for us, it would be a most significant
development. F-
