    "ocrText": "TELECON\nThe President\n10/1/71 10:15 a. m.\nP: I missed one point on the India-Pakistan thing. The talk with\nHome was revealing and disturbing. I hope to Christ we are doing everything\nthat can be done to pull the teeth of some of that. Is it as bad as Home points\nout?\nK: Yes, but's that bad, but it's all India-instigated. And he is wrong\nabout the location of the guerrilla actions. I'11 show you the maps. Ninety\npercent of it is within 10 miles of the frontier. There are practically none deep\nare\nin East Pakistan. But all the main arteries within 10 to 20 miles of the frontier.\nThey are cutting roads and preventing distrubution and bloying up ships. But\nthe Bengalis are not training frogmen by themselves. That is highly sophisticated\ntraining and equipment. Ninety-five percent of theix problems are India-instigated.\nP: Can we get State to work on it? The message for the 15th isn't going\nto solve it.\nK: It would if those bastards would let the stuff move in. The only\nother thing is to tell the Indians that if they don't stop we'll resume arms\nsupplies to Pakistan.\nP:\nhanging over them the threat of Chinese\nK: The danger is that as the Pakistani army runs down a little the\nmoderate Indians may get the idea that it is a good chance to settle scores.\nI think that when Mrs. Gandhi comes\nI don't think they'11 do anything\ndecisive before then.\nP: We ought to have a more aggressive policy with regard to getting\nthe Indians to cooperate anyway.\nK: Why don't I get the Indian Ambassadoe in now?\nP.X Home got the same impression as I did; he was very good.\nK: Yes, his analysis is basically the same as ours.\nP: These Indians are sanctimonious. What is State doing? Are they\non salvo?\nK: Yes, they're on salvo with pushing the refugee issue. I'11 call Sisco.\nP: Give him the bit in his teeth.\nK: I'll call him right now.\nP: Good."
