1. I DO NOT (NOT) THINK IT WOULD BE USEFUL FOR THE JIC TO PRODUCE A PAPER OF THE KIND YOU HAVE IN MIND. THERE IS NO INDEPENDENT INFORMATION OR EXPERTISE ON THE SUBJECT AVAILABLE IN LONDON AND IT IS NOT REALLY AN INTELLIGENCE MATTER.
2. 1 AGREE HOWEVER THAT MINISTERS WILL WANT AN ASSESSMENT OF THE STATE OF CONFIDENCE. WE WILL COVER THIS IN A TELEGRAM I WILL
SEND YOU SOON AFTER THE ELECTION.
YOUDE
