Kenneya. The inquiry was directed toward providing summary information on the above areas with emphasis on events and deliveries of military-type articles between March 25 and November 8, 1971. (See p. 3')-- FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS Prior to the 1965 outbreak of hostilities between India and Pakistan, the United States provided Pakistan with millions of dollars worth of euipent and services under the military grant aid, excess property, sales, and s i-p loan programs. This assistance was provided under the terms of a mutual de- fense assistance agreement between the Governments of the United States and Pakistan and under other related bilateral agreements. (See pp. 4 and 5.) 1965 embargo on Pakistan On September 8, 1965, the United States placed an embargo on the supply of military equipment to India and Pakistan because of the outbreak of hostili- ties between the two countries. (See p. 7.) Modification of embargo The United States modified the embargo early in 1966 to permit India and Pakistan to purchase nonlethal articles with a case-by-case determination being made by U.S. officials prior to the issuance of the applicable export licenses. (See p. 8.) New military supply policy In 1967, after an extensive policy review, the United States decided, among other actions, that (1) grant military aid, suspended since 1965, would not be resumed except for a possible small military training program in the United States and (2) requests for the sale of ammunition and spare parts for mili- tary equipment previously provided, including previously barred spares for lethal equipment, would be considered on a case-by-case basis, in addition to requests to purchase nonlethal items.
