The' Eighth Ministerial Council of CENTO will convene under the
s of the Summit Conference, and the regional members will press
for reassurance that we, and the British, have no intention of agree-
ing .anything L ich would lessen their security. The Secretary's
remarks on this stipjeet will probably be the most important single
#eatueof our participation in the Tehran Council meeting. The
atm sphere should also be relatively favorable as a result of the
upturn the reg1l members' confidence due. to the Washington
meeting and the President's trip. The regional members will continue
to seek full U. S. membership but this issue will probably receive
less'attention than it has in previous Council meetings.
The regional members are likely, however, to show strong concern
over delays in, moving ahead on CENTO economic projects, particularly
the Turk.Irnian rail connection and the teleoom nicatione project.
C d Structure has recently been a topic uppermost in the minds
of the regional members and will be a subject for discussion.

3o To maintain our position that the establishment of a CEITO
Co?snd Structure is undesirable at this time for political reasons;
as a corollary, to minimize the importance of such a Structure.
4. To reassure the region states that the United States does
not c?oftemplate an m3Aification of U. S. policy as a result of &=imit
deltbereations which would adversely affect CE TO or its members.
5. To Impress upon the region l_ states that U, S. military and
.con is aid programs must take into account not only the absorptive
p,acity of regional states' populations and economies, but also U. S.
arld-wide cc tments and the funds appropriated under the IAtual
Security Programs.
6- While exchanging views frankly and freely on current problems
riisl..ng in the CENTO area, to focus the regional members ? attention
upon the Soviet Union as the principal threat to the peace and stability
of 1 ;be area, and discreetly to dissuade them from involving CE1VZO in
intra-.area disputes.
7- To impress upon Pakistan and. Iran that, while we regard their
difficulties with Afghanistan and Iraq as pressing local issues which
deserve constructive action between the states involved, we continue
to believe the continuation of a policy of restraint and patient,
efforts toward Iraq, and Afghanistan offers the best 'prospect of
resolving these difficulties and of lessening Soviet opportunities
,for expanded influence in those countries.
