It seemed to ire that Dr .. Scoville's vim·1s had an important bearing on the claims by the Adrainistration that the Turkish bases \.'ere essential for this purpose.. Dr. Scoville is one of the foremost U.S. experts in the fields of strategic \·:eaponry, arr.is control and scientific intelii!Jence gatlmring, \·1ith r.:-0re than t\1enty years of service in important posts in the Departr.1ent of D~fense, Central Intelligence Agency and Arms Control and Disarmar.:ent Agency. , In connection Nith the Administration's efforts to obtain consideration of a revised compromise resolution on a partial 1 i fting of the ban on arms shi pr.tents to Turkey, I received a phone call yesterday from Or. Fred C. Ikle, Director of.the U.S .. Arms Control and Disarmam~nt Agency. Or. Ikle called to say that he considered the bases very important for monitoring both present and future arms control agreements. I suggested to Dr. Ik.1e that he revie~·1 Dr .. Scoville's letter and give rr£! his coElnents, and I offered to give his corri:lents the same distribution that I had given to Or. Scoville's letter. l3oth letters are attached, in order that itembers may dra~-1 their mm conclusions as to the adequacy of Dr •. Ikle 1 s response to the points made by Dr. Scoville .. - JFS :jmb ~ear Congressman Seiberlin~: I \·1ish to follow up on your· questions as to the iooortance of U.S. bases in Turkey for tile verification cf arms control agrcer.~nts. In riarticular 9 you \'1ere interested in my reactions to the letter b_y Doctor Herbert Scoville, Jr. \'!h~ch you ins2rted in the Cor.nressior.al Record of Jul_y 22, 1975. · In his letter, Dr. Scoville states that the bases in Turkey are not ue 11 located to noni tor the S/\LT Interim l:greenent and the l\Eri Treaty. Hhile the sites in Turkev have made some contribution to oonitorino the Affl Treatys it t·muld ~e shortsi~hted to consider the verifiability.of only those 1 imitations '.>?hi ch \'!~re etgreed to in the oast. The Interim Agree­ rrent t1ill exoire in t~·Jo y2ars and the S.l\LT Ir aoreernent n01·1 under negotia­ tion 1·.1ill have additional liriitations nore difficult to monitor. tioreover, He must ensure that our veri fi ca ti on capabi l i ti e·s \'Ii 11 be adequate for further limitations and reductions to be neootiated after SALT II. If ue permit our verjfication. capabilities to contract:: hm·J can \•Je expa"nd the scope of future arr.is control limitations? · f-1any members of ConC1ress exnressed an interest in lir.iitinq cruise missilei. As far as ~e ~an anti~ipate~ the verification of su~h limits 1·1il l have to be based orimaril v on the ohservati on of tests. For this puroose, bases in Turkey t·!Ou 1d. play a crucial ro 1 e; Hi thout them,, any actual or likely potential test locations could not be monitored. It ~ould take many vears and considerable invesb~nt to develop alternate Means of verif°ication, if° the gap could be closed .at all. Pe must also keep in mind that the Sovie~s may.change the lo~ation of their test sites or the t:a.v in t·1hich they use them.
