India. That message has been marked by the Department of State officials as for "Limited Official Use." I would like to quote from the second paragraph of that cable. The refugees referred to are from Pakistan: In all recent conversations with Secretary of Food Mathrani on supplies for refugees. he expressed to Mission Director (Agriculture) Attache and others appreciation for U.S. assistance. but has stressed the need for rice and not wheat. This is based primarily on the difficulty of getting the distraught refugees in an abysmal environment to use food to which they are unaccustomed. (Parenthesis supplied.) I would also like to quote at this time from another Department of State document. It is entitled "A Report on the Food and Transportation Situation in East Pakistan." and is dated June 321. 1971. Section VI of this report deals with the cyclone affected areas.
