The President has wisely decided to send a party of senior officials. headed by Deputy National Security Adviser Robert M. Gates. to the region to make our concerns known. The Senate wishes them every success. and urges our friends in both India and Pakistan to hear them out with close attention. Perhaps especially the Pakistanis. For it appears to this Senator that the military in Pakistan could make a dreadful miscalculation. Pakistans situation is difficult enough. There are still more than 3 million Afghan refugees living in Pakistan. The Afghan situation is. if anything. deteriorating. Bitter divisions within the Mujahadeen forces have settled into fixed estrangement.
