has been on getting general agreement on "bare bones" state-
ments of US interests, objectives, and key issues. This
process has now been completed, Ambassador Martin has left
Washington, and several'key members of the group are taking
leave for the holiday period. After the holiday lull, the

section of the study itself for his review.

Agency lately. The group has accepted my offer to attend
and report on meetings at Agency. headquarters next month for
oral contributions to forthcoming National Intelligence Estimates
