I have delayed making this exchange public because of conversations on a staff level which I hoped might result in a more forthright. detailed. and candid response to my questions. Unfortunately. my staff has been informed that no further public response will be forthcoming. The questions I asked cover the scope of our Pakistan policyarms shipments. refugee aid. repatriation. the status of our relations with India. and the interplay of the great powers In this situation. Anyone comparing the questions in my letter and the State Departments responses would have to reach the conclusion that their letter deliberately ignored some of those questions and answered others in a way more intended to confuse or divert than to clarify. It is littered with inconsistencies and empty generalities.
