I was unable to visit Kwihmir in India due to a warning by some of those involved in antigovernment activities that they would fire at random at any light vehicles traveling in the Kashmir Valley. I regret that this threat of violence made it impossible for me to visit Kashmir to explore at first hand the conditions that they claim have caused their disaffection. During the trip I was able to exchange views with a wide variety of political leaders both inside and outside government. with top leaders of the Indian and Pakistani Armed Forces. as well as with human rights activists and refugees. I was particularly gratified by the opportunity I had to talk at length with Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. whom I have known for some years. and Indian Prime Minister V.P. Singh. whom I met for the first time.
