Letter, Warren Christopher to William Hyland, 'Response to Soviet Message on South Africa'
This document was made possible with support from Carnegie Corporation of New York (CCNY)
This draft reply to Leonid Brezhnev's August 1977 message to Jimmy Carter on the suspicious site in the Kalahari Desert includes a number of interesting points, among them a request for the "geographic coordinates, size, configuration, and exact nature of the facility." Presumably this information would be used by the US to better target its reconnaissance satellites on the site.
