Secretary of State, William P. Rogers

[Red John]

We tentatively greet the United States of America. Although relations were steadily improving over the years- the immense support given to the Pakistani government, such support given even despite the growing crisis in Bengal, is very concerning.

Nevertheless, India is a developing nation and many would say that the United States stands at the pinnacle of development in many areas. We would like to discuss the possibility of reorienting the direction relations have been following, and present to both our peoples an agreement which shows that neither country truly hates the other. Such a thing might seem rather optimistic at this time, but we must try in all ways to broker a lasting peace.
