BRIEFING NOTICE
PHILIPPINES MALAYSIA
NATIONALIST CHINA SINGAPORE
THAILAND INDONESIA
NEPAL AUSTRALIA
AFGHANISTAN NEW ZEALAND
1. DDI requires a briefing book on the above
countries for a meeting on 9 December with Vice Presi-
dent Agnew prior to the latter's trip. Because DDI
wants to see the book by Thursday, 4 December, contri-
butions must reach Presentations Branch by noon Wednesday,
December 3, at the latest.
2. Classification can be wide open if necessary,
but when a statement is based solely on Comintor TKH,
it should be clear in the text that this is derived
from sensitive sources.
3. Each country briefing should be basic in nature:
What are the fundamental problems, stability, viability
of the economy, what are the immediate current problems,
etc. In most cases, two to three pages in NSC Briefing
format will be sufficient, but obviously some will re-
quire longer presentations to cover the basics. (E.g.,
Malaysia has communal problems, remnants of Communist
insurgent problems, problems with Singapore, Philippines,
Indonesia, ggggraphic problems, and just cataloging them
is going to take a certain amount of space.
4. As an appendix the briefing book will contain
the basic data sheets on each country. Accordingly,
along with the briefing, please submit any changes
needed to bring the pertinent pages in the OBGI Basic
Data Handbook up to date.
