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.
