Dear General Perroots:
I wish to express my appreciation to DIA for making
(DE-4) available at short notice to be the principal drafter of our recent
Special Interagency Intelligence Memorandum, Angola: Implications of a Cuban
Troop Withdrawal for the Military Balance rdid an excellent
job, writing at "fast-track" pace a draft that deftly captured the complexity
of the subject while drawing major judgments clearly and concisely. Her
analysis was directly relevant for US policy, and in fact was avidly consumed
by top negotiators immediately prior to the latest round of talks on
withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola.
From my perspective, DIA provides high-quality contributions to
intelligence community products dealing with Africa. recent effort
is a stellar example.
cc: Acting Chairman, NIC
Sincerely,
Walter L. Barrows
National Intelligence Officer for Africa
