INTELL IGENCE MEMORANDUM
Situation in the Dominican Republic
Report
1. Foreign Broadcast Information Service re-
ports that the rebel-controlled "Radio Santo Domingo"
abruptly left the air at 5:20 pm EDT without any
explanation. A resumption of broadcasting or
clarification of what has happened will be reported
promptly.
2. Ambassador Bennett reports that when the
Organization of American States commission in
Santo Domingo was furnished with tape recordings
of some inflammatory rebel radio statements to
demonstrate that at least the spirit of the cease-
fire agreement was being violated by the rebels,
the commission took the rather legalistic approach
that the broadcast had taken place before the "Act
of Santo Domingo"had been signed. Ambassador
Bennett commented that the earlier cease-fire
agreement had been in effect for days.
