Shoaib told the US MS airector in Karachi that military require” aie oiate likely to set the economic development program back two to three years, but that Rawal- Pindi feels it must recover from a position in Paich severe shortages of military equipment Wander Pakistan unacceptably vulnerable to a re~ newed Indian attack.

The World Bank Consortium, under the auspices of which the US and eight other nations channel their economic aid to Pakistan, has postponed indefinitely its an- nual pledging session at which the Pakistanis hoped to raise $500 million in assistance for the first year of Pakistan's Third Plan (1965 - 1970). Ship- ments of grain under the PL-480 agreement, which ex- pires at the end of this year are continuing, as are Commitments under existing economic development agree- ments. 4. Failure of the US to provide large-scale as— sistance to Pakistan would severely cripple Rawalpindi's economic and military efforts. The cut-off of MAP spares has already reduced the combat effectiveness of the armed forces, It is likely that a large share of the equipment inventory, particularly aircraft and tanks, are out of commission or able to operate only on an extremely limited scale because of a shortage of spares. 5. Pakistan's Third Plan for economic develop- ment, which may have to be considerably scaled ‘down because of the war, will probably collapse completely in the absence of Western--particularly US--aid Although the share of tota! development expenditures financed by foreign aid is to be reduced to 32 percent in the Third Plan (it was 38 percent in the Second Plan) the foreign exchange thus supplied is vital to the program. Pakistan hopes to receive about 1.5 billion from the US alone over the five years of the plan-~ in contrast to only $150 million expected from Commu nist countries. 25X1 A ean pair SypDe pproved For Rel }oT00472A000600010004-1 SECR 25X1 25X1: x Approvedgor Ry 7 P79T0e472A000600010004-1 6. The effects of a cutoff of further us aid would be somewhat mitigated in the short run by vee Continued inflow of aid already committed. AS ere Suly 1965 about $300 miilioy yemained in the Gipeline and is not expected ro be fully delivered Pipe at least another year. PI-460 deliveries un- der the current agreement will carry the Pakistanis well into next year. 7. Nevertheless, Westerm aid has flowed into pakistan over the past ten years at a level that Paetot be matched from any other some’, and made possible Pakistan's impressive ‘economic develop- post record, US aid through 196% totals $2.9 bil- ment [n economic assistance and $732 ‘million in ititary aid, Last year's pledge wer $212 mil- ion in grants and loans plus over $150 million opi 4g) grain.* Pakistan is askt0g for $500 in tion in Western assistance for the first year milthe fourth plan, and hopes that the Us will pledge more than $200 million toward meeting this goal. 8, It is difficult to translate the effect of a threatened Western aid cutoff into politi- Cai terms. It 1s likely, however» internal po- Sitical pressures would force ‘Ayub to resist iikSngly such pressure. Failure to do so could strrously undermine his position within Paki- Stan and could even set the stage for his Suster at the hands of highly irrational ele- ousts who are already incensed at the US failure Tercontinue MAP deliveries during the war. e ae-also pledged some $428 million to the India-Pakistan Indus River ‘development program. Pakistan hopes to spend nearly $700 million on the project during the five years of the fhird vian.

Last year. the So- Biete gave Pakistan an $11 million credit tor agricul- viets Equipment. A further credit, for $30 million, fas given to the Pakistanis early this yeds In ad- wWitisn, press reports indicate that Pakistae recently Gave the Soviets a $200 million shopping list of projects for their up-coming Five-Year Plan.

Soviet Aid Capabilities 2. During the last three crop season& (1963 to 1965) when the USSR imported $1.5 billion worth of ‘heat, it has continued some grain exports to Eastern Furope and Cuba (worth $500 million) and filled Egypt's emergency needs by diverting Fo Cairo $20 Egypt jn worth purchased abroad when the US held up deliveries in June this year. n4- Approved For Rel r Rele: 'T00472A000600010004-1 25X41 25X1 f SECRET Approved FoReleas sTp0479000600010004-1 13. In order to achieve an important politi- cal objective the USSR probably could offer to pro- vide, by purchase abroad and re-export one million tons of wheat (worth about $70 million) without too drastic an effect on its gold reserve, which now totals about $1.5 billion, 14. The USSR currently is actually deliver- ing annually only $500 million in economic aid to the Free World. Moscow has demonstrated it is capable of fulfilling large military aid programs within one to two years of their conception. On an emergency basis, military aid has been supplied from Soviet operational units, later to be re- Placed by equipment produced under the plan for export. ATTACHMENTS: a.
