NOTE FROM: ROBERT MCFARLANE
Subject: Anything New??
In re Blowpipe, I think I would look for other sources. Surely the Brits have sold them elsewhere. How about Oman or Pakistan or Singapore? I wouldn't have any hesitation about talking to Yusef al alawi (Foreign Minister) about it. This [?] brings me to the second item. Next week would be a good time to travel [word illegible]. I have no appointments until a commitment to give a terrorism speech [at the?] Simon Weisenthal Center in La>a
T Anything New??
