I agree that the right courso would be to refor this paper to the Official Committoc.

In considering the futuro I think the Committee nood to tako into account two important background points:-

(i) the whole complex of the Vietnam war (including

our alleged support for the Americans);

(ii) the plans for a reduction of forcos in the Far East

gonorally.

Yos, I agrco. It is most important that contingency planning should be done

what any day will bring

London.

and very quickly since we cannot know and it is clear that it must bo dono in

I hope the Official Committee can concentrate on this aspoct first, so that at least plans are ready; and then go on to wider considerations. A plan for quick withdrewal if this is forced upon us, thon, first of all.
