Dear Dr. Simard:
McGeorge Bundy has asked me to answer the letter of
28 July from you and Mr. Lipschutz concerning US ro-
lations with Egypt.
To my knowledge, Mr. Bundy has not been asked to
'examine U. relations with Egypt. Nor are we
aware of any current State Department recommenda -
tion to "considerably increase" aid to Egypt. Nonsthe-
less, I can assure you that the viewe you express will
be taken fully into account.
On the other hand, 1 do think it fair to add that in the
last five years there does not appear to have been any
major crisis in the Near East which contained signifi-
cant riek of triggering World War III. Perhape U.S.
policy had something to do with this.
Sincerely,
R. W. Komer
