DECLASSIFIED
WASHINGTON:
E.O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D)
DA-1
By WLT , NARS Date 2-9-73
From Bradley
We are receiving many inquiries from members of Congress
as to why we do not evacuate dependents from Berlin.
Evacuation now might be plausable because it would reduce
number to be supplied by air.
Such evacuation might be interpreted as either stsrt of
withdrawal from Berlin entirely, or on the other hand as a
clearing of decks for action if necessary. What is your think-
ing on this subject in view of new situation?
(End DA-1)
BERLIN:
Re DA-1:
Please road my message prepared prior to start of Telcon
which I believe will answer your Da-l.
Message follows:

attempted search. Passenger tra ins not moving in view of
