14 July 1959

1. The Joint Chiefs of Staff have recently discussed a comprehensive study on the Far Eat prepared by the Joint Strategic Survey Council.

2. The enclosure herewith was prepared using that study and the reference. Also considered in the preparation of the enclosure were the Services comments on the reference; it is believed these Service views are reflected therein.

3. It is planned to introduce the enclosure at the Planning Board as a tentative JCS position on the subject, and recommend that it replace the reference as a starting point in the preparation of a U.S. Policy on the Far East.
