(People's Republic of China: Military Exercise, 25 August 1976, DIALAPPR 262-76) In a section entitled "Collection Capabilities" the report observed that I have no quarrel with this assertion, assuming it is correct. But I do have a quarrel with the final paragraph of that section which reads: "The exercise reinforced the importance of (my underlining) Although I recognize DLA cannot be stopped from case-building, blurbs like this one don't belong in an assessment but rather in a careful study of intelligence resources. Sam Hoskinson disagrees on the basis that DIA has done no more than present a factual judgment concerning the sources of important intelligence. He feels that this is a responsible approach which should be encouraged. The fact that such judgments may at times impact on policy debates may in fact be a healthy development depending on the arguments involved.

HYLAND week FROM: WILLIAM H. GLEYSTEEN by SUBJECT: Taiwan's Future Relations with the U.S., USSR and PRC I think it would be worth your while to skim the following summary of comments by senior ROC officials on Taiwan's future relations with the United States, the Soviet Union, and the PRC. On the basis of per- sonal acquaintance, I find the comments quite plausible - -- though I should point out that the ROC officials were talking to a foreigner (per- haps Bob Scalapino) and probably knew that their remarks would be reported to us. ROC Estimates of the Likelihood and Consequences of Normalization ROC Foreign Minister Shen and others believe that normalization of U.S. -PRC relations will probably not take place for some time, if at all, both because of political uncertainties on the mainland (making negotiations difficult) and because of a shift in American public opinion over the last three years towards greater concern for the security of Taiwan. Although there were denials that any detailed thinking had taken place about the shape of post-normalization relations with the U.S., it was evident that the "German formula" (one China, two governments) is looked on with favor. (Discussion of the "German formula" has made its way into the Taiwan and U.S. press from time to time in recent months, quite obviously not by accident.) Several of the officials predicted that normalization would do irreparable damage to the Taiwanese economy and indicated this view was shared by DECLASSIFIED E.O. 12958 SEC. 3.6 WITH PORTIONS EXEMPTED SECRET /SENSITIVE E.O. 12958 SEC. 1.5 UTAH FORZE CIA ter 126109 MR08-17 #12; state rev 8/1/00 BY dal NARA DATE 4/15/09 SEGRET/SENSITIVE 2 Premier Chiang Ching-kuo. They pointed to a number of specific technical and legal problems which would develop in maintaining our trade and investment links. (The American Chamber of Commerce in Taipei has sent us a remarkably similar list.) Eventually, the ROC officials told their interlocutor, this would lead to erosion of confidence in the Taipei government. All officials seemed to discount the likelihood of an immediate military threat against Taiwan by the PRC. The Foreign Minister also dismissed as "totally impractical" Senator Scott's proposal for direct ROC/PRC negotiations. Regarding a possible Taipei-Moscow link, the Foreign Minister and others said that consideration had been given to establishing some relations with the Soviets, but that on balance it was felt this might give the U.S. an excuse to abandon Taiwan and the idea was dropped. (Chiang Ching-kuo has been quoted in the past as vehemently opposing a deal with Moscow.) However, they left the impression that once normaliza- tion occurs, Taipei may feel free to change its mind. The report suggests that the same holds true for a nuclear option. That is, although U.S. restrictions are currently too tight for the ROC to develop a nuclear capability, once the U.S. is no longer able to exert a controlling influence over developments in Taiwan, Taipei might recon- sider. The Foreign Minister and former Foreign Minister Chou Shu-k'ai in- dicated that they would give increased attention to Taiwan's relations with Japan.

In at least two instances, however, I understand that there will be individual conversation and photo opportunities: a reception by the Vice President-elect on January 19th and another for the diplomatic corps on the 22nd at the White House where both the President and Vice President will greet each Ambassador personally. There may be other such occasions as well) presumably the Inaugural Committee will have a complete list.
