Jan. 21 Off at 8:45a.m. to AID to meet with Dr. Quraishi (pronounced Qwar'eshi) on arranging my schedule. Since Quraishi was somewhat involved in another matter his secretary, Mr. Mohammad Habib Rehman, helped out. The latter proved to be a most helpful, frank young man. He pulled no punches concerning his country and was much interested in what I had to say about the world population problem. Through him and my driver (loaned by the Embassy) I learned that some 9 million refugees had come to Pakistan from India since partition. I learned the following numerical terminology: 1 lakh = 100,000; 100 lakh = [illegible] 1 crore; 1 crore = 1 arab; 1 kharab = 100 arab. (accent on last syllable - ar'ab'). The driver said a dam is being built on the Indus that will cost in rupees, 1 arab. It is going in near the Jalal district of Punjab. Three or 4 others are to go in later. He said that W. Pakistan had good land, ranking 5th or 6th in the world in fertility but water is a big problem. Q.H.K. Visited Major Bakhtiar, Chairman, Board of Intermediary and Secondary Education; he was [illegible] of the Secondary School Board at Pakistan Employees Cooperative Housing Society College PECHS. He was a man in his late 40s or early 50s, polite but reserved and rather formal, no doubt a reflection of his military experience. A Mr. Siddiqui, [illegible] sat in on our conversation.
