questions were presented which related to the consequences of a Chinese-
Communist take-over of the islands, and the consequences of US military
action which might bring the Sir.o-Soviet treaty into operation. He also
noted that the NSC had been left with the impression that there had been
some change in the position of some of the members of the IAC on

questions and to clarify the position of the service agencies in order to

~s.t he considered this to be one of the most important matters that the
I~'iC had been called upon to face. Mr. Dulles emphasized that he desired,
as ~. re3ult of the deliberations of the committee, a surr,mary and
supplement of the estimate to serve as a briefing memorandum for his
use at the Denver meeting.
