i. Chinese activities- -Guyana aluminum.
j. Although we may not have useful information at the
present on Brazilian involvement in torture, the Committee
has some indications that the military have thought out the
use of torture in some detail.
2. Finley agreed that we would forget the drug question at this
time and if any question is raised, we will note that the point was discussed
at the staff level and it was agreed that there would be a separate meeting
on the subject if desired by the Chairman.
3. The meeting will be informal, without transcript, and if the
briefer desires, he may request the Chairman's indulgence to proceed
through the topics to be covered (allowing questions if he likes) but
suggesting that for the most part questions be held until the briefing is
completed.
