In further discussion it was also agreed that, the s of the difficulties in relating the report in question o 1949 and to 1950/56, every effort should be made to produce the modifications required before the planning discussions in September, if necessary by incorporating them in a separate Annex to the report. A number of draft amendments were circulated to the Joint Intelligence Staff. THE COMMITTEE:(a) agreed to the view put forward by the Air Ministry that the Russians would be likely to attempt to overcome Turkey by force of arms before advancing on objectives further to the south, and invited the Joint Intelligence Staff and Departments to proceed with the operational appreciation accordingly.
