review
completed.
SUBJECT: Your Luncheon with PFIAB on August 7- 12:30 to 2:00,
Blair House
Background
1. The following will be present: Admiral Anderson, Mr. Gray,
Ambassador Murphy, Dr. Murphy, Mr. Pace, Governor Rockefeller,
Dr. Baker, Mr. Land, Mr. Burke, Mr. Ash, Cdr. Snyder and General
Haig. The Board has not indicated a desire to discuss any specific topic
with you. However, you can get some idea of the things they have been
discussing at their August 6-7 meeting from the list attached at Tab A.
2. Some Board members may well bring up the report of the Blue
Ribbon Panel and the classified intelligence annex to that report. You
should tell them that we have a copy of that annex, but you have not
completed your study of it.
3. The subject of the PFIAB fact-finding trip to Southeast Asia and
the subsequent meeting with the President may also come up at the luncheon.
You should recall that the President asked them to look into the question
of CIA's analysis of the value of Sihanoukville. He also asked for their
assessment of the effectiveness of the bombing of North Vietnam in 1968
on limiting the flow of material to South Vietnam.
4. Admiral Anderson may bring up the matter of Admiral Gayler's
transfer from'NSA. You sent him a note affirming that his views
have been transmitted to Secretary Laird.
Talking Points
1. You might want to give the Board a brief resume of recent
.developments in the Middle East.

Ceasefire will mean no change in status quo within zones
extending 50 kilometers on each side of ceasefire line.
As the President said last. Friday, there is still a long way to go. However,
at this point it is possible to say that there have been at least two important
achievements:
The shooting, which has become increasingly dangerous
with each passing week recently, can be stopped.
.The belligerents will enter a negotiating situation, and this
should introduce a new fluidity into the efforts to achieve a
settlement. No one pretends that a settlement will be easier
or is, just around the corner, but on both sides the political
process and argument have begun that must take place if the
situation is to. break out of present rigidities and offer some
hope for a negotiated settlement.
On the negative side, two points must also be made:
any ceasefire is necessarily fragile;
..? neither side, in agreeing to talk, has made any change in
fundamental negotiating positions, so in a sense we have
just pushed our problems into the next room. At least we
can hope that it will be cooler there.
2. You may also wish to brief the Board on events in Southeast Asia.
.Our Air Force is now flying interdiction missions (explain
connotation of term) deep inside Cambodia. These missions
are proving most helpful in turning back enemy attacks and
in bolstering Cambodian morale.
The Cambodian Government has stood up pretty well so far
and Cambodian armed forces have fought capably in a number
of battles.

TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE
The military situation in Laos is generally quiet. The
Communist offensive in southern Laos has diminished and
the PDT area is relatively inactive.
The situation in South Vietnam remains about the same with
the Communists unable to mount much in the way of large
unit actions.
ARVN morale is still way up as a result of Cambodian
operations.
We don't make too much of the recent spate of Thieu-Ky
jabs at each other and we note that Ky, as usual, has
backed: off now. The political and economic scene remain
principle problem areas.
