MEMORANDUM
e'? COMPANY COjfIrAL
TO . Pnl Asst is DP, CEC, President
DATE : 18 October 1968
FROM . PM via BMVTE' REF. No. POVTE-68-1748
SUBJECT : Missing Employees
Ref: PND-PA 68/2575
PMVTE 68/1270
On 15 October I went to see Dr. Baer regarding the latest developments on our
missing employees, D. Baer was out of town.
The same day I went to see Mr. J. Murphy of the Embassy Political Section. He
advised me that the latest he had received fran Mr. S. Pethrosi was that missing
individuals are normally under the jurisdiction of the Pathet Lao Military
officials and they are normally held in the area where they were captured,, How-
ever, Mr. Pethrosi did not give any specifics as to the whereabouts or the status
of our missing individuals.
I asked Mr. Murphy if it would be okay with the Embassy for me to see the FL
representative and discuss our employees. Mr. Murphy indicated his okay and will
give me his final approval in a few days. This request was also submitted to
BIANTE who indicated his approval and recommended that CSYVTE accompany me.
At this meeting I will request from fir. Pethrosi authorization to send packages
and mail. I also plan on indicating to him that our employees should not be
judged in the same line with U. S. Military. I feel that we should separate our
employees from missing Military personnel. We might this way receive some results
from Mr. Pethrosi.
I will keep you informed of further developments.
