mission to the Middle East by a member of Congress. According to a source involved \vial the trip. some of the highlights
from the Congressman's visit to the region included:

Persian Gulf."

) Fate of Nagy
(UP*117171- From an intelligence memo of 19 June 1958 entitled 16-ea ion 0
(UPAIU ) The announcement on 16 June of the execution of former Hungarian Premier Imre Nagy and three of his
associates attests to Moscow's overriding concern with the danger of "revisionism" and the lack of bloc unity toward
Yugoslavia, even at the cost of highly unfavorable reactions from thc free �yorld. The provocative tone of the announcement
has signaled harsher internal policies, including suppression of remaining traces of "revisionist" activity and any factionalism
\Hann the satellite parties. The actual date of the trial and execution of Nagy was not disclosed. Nagy is accused of
cooperating \Hai "imperialists" to bring about an "armed counterrevolutionary uprising aimed at the overthrow of the legal
order." The American Legation reports the Hungarian people received the news of the execution vith stunned silence,"
anger, and, in some cases, tears.
(UPAIU ) C 71'' Nagy met a far harsher fate than did Alexander Dubcek, premier of Czechoslovakia, a decade later.
After Warsaw Pact forces invaded to end the "Prague Spring" in August 1968, Moscow owed Dubcek to hold various
minor positions, and he lived to see the overthrow of Communist rule and become speaker of the new Federal Assembly
before his death in 1992.

(U//AIU 1 A box of OSD documents contains a memo dated 8 July 194X from Robert Blum to the Secretary of Defense.
(Blum was a special consultant to the Secretary.) In his memo, Blum states that there has been no original intelligence from
CIA sources on the disagreement between Cominform and the Tito regime." All reports on the issue sent to the Secretary by
DC1 Hillenkoetter, Blum notes, are based on cables from the US Embassy in Belgrade. The embassy reports, moreover,
"gave practically no important information �yhich was not in the press at the time. Blum also comments that his review of
recent issues of the CIA "Daily" and "Weekly Summaries" shows that the Agency merely "paraphrased Embassy reporting"
on the break between Tito and Cominform and added comments that "were either irrelevant or inaccurate."
(U//-In a handwritten note at the end of the memo, Blum adds, "In summary,

substantially nothing collected that was not in the daily press, and with no significant estimates submitted."
