I think we should work actively through diplomatic channels to encourage others to do so. If the call for the investigation were issued by the Islamic Foreign Ministers Conference when it meets in midMay. it would probably have a good chance of success. Pakistan would certainly be willing to cooperate and permit access to the Afghan refugees under such circumstances. which they might be reluctant to do if the United States were the sponsor. Therefore I suggest that you direct the State Department to urge friendly Islamic countries to press for such an investigation. lest Soviet leaders conclude that they can act against civilized norms in Afghanistan. With best wishes.
