¶1. (SBU) WASHINGTON ANALYSTS GREATLY APPRECIATED REFTEL ON
THE TRANSITION OF PERSONNEL IN INDIA'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM. THE
BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON S.K. BANERJEE'S DEMEANOR,
ENGAGEMENT WITH US OFFICIALS, AND HIS ABILITY TO LEAD INDIA'S
NUCLEAR PROGRAM WAS PARTICULARLY HELPFUL. WE WOULD WELCOME

COMPREHENSIVE TEST BAN TREATY (CTBT),AND HIS POTENTIAL
SUCCESSOR AT THE BHABHA ATOMIC RESEARCH CENTER (BARC),R.K.
SINHA. THANK YOU, AND BEST REGARDS FROM WASHINGTON.
