I know in conversations I have seen wisely undertaken between the Governments of Pakistan and India. the emphasis is not placed upon pitting themselves against each other. That is not the point. There are known problems that Pakistan has with neighboring countries and certainly. backed by Iran. the question of oil storage facilities is evidence of concern. The very fact that there are over 2 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan today indicates the danger to that country. But maybe the U.S. assistance package will then make it unnecessary and undesirable for Pakistan to move ahead with nuclear weapon capability. We hope so.
