on 13 April and was attended by:

Domestic and Foreign Security Operations, Office of Security

Services Division, Naval Investigative Service

to determine what might be done to alleviate the situation. He
explained that any and all suggestions would be welcome, regard-
less of how far out or speculative they might be. He asked that no
suggestion be withheld with the thought that it might not be feasible,
pointing out that such judgment could best be made by the Department
of State.
3. It soon became apparent that while the present problem
(kidnaping) might be new, the basic situation had been considered
before under various guises (aircraft hijacking) and what we were
looking for were solutions that had been previously sought after
without complete success. - For convenience, the present discussions
were broken down into the following areas:
