TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE/EYES ONLY - 2 - aircraft in Pakistan equipped with a Pakistani navigator. This would permit the larger aircraft in which I arrive to remain parked at Rawalpindi over the weekend in public view. -- I instructed Ambassador Farland to discuss our meeting and my proposed trip with Yahya and made him responsible for all the technical details of the trip. He will submit for my review several possible scenarios for the China meeting as soon as the special communi- cations channel is activated. Ambassador Farland made several more general points: -- He was sharply critical of Ambassador Keating who, in his view, is attempting to make a partisan issue of the Pakistani situation and discredit the Administration in the process. Ambassador Keating apparently called in a New York Times correspondent and divulged the contents of the Blood cables, and Ambassador Farland feels that Ambassador Keating will use his trip back to Washington to lobby against your Pakistan policies. -- Ambassador Farland stressed his conviction that it will take a substantial (i.e., $250 million) loan to sustain Pakistan for another six months and he requested support in obtaining a commitment from the World Bank or IMF. As a related matter, Ambassador Farland asked that Hannah be told in a forceful way that you want him to adopt a positive attitude toward Pakistan for at least the next six months. -- Ambassador Farland also felt that Germany, Great Britain and possibly also Japan should be apprised of our determination to save Pakistan and asked to adjust their policies to support our position. A full record of the meeting is attached at Tab A. TOP SECRET/SENSITIVE/EYES ONLY
