Thank you for your recent request for our views of West
European reservations about the developing trade relationship
between the United States and China. In brief, we believe
strategic concerns contribute only marginally to West European
apprehension over our policy and related US initiatives in
COCOM. I have attached a memorandum which ass more
detail our allies' attitudes on this subject.
Please let me know if - can provide you any further
analysis on this topic.
Yours,
