SUBJECT: U. S. Policy Toward Algeria.
I generally approve the Plan of Action lur Algeria in the
Secretary of State's memorandum to me of 2 February
1963, responding to NSAM 211.
All concerned should near in mind the need for a program
commensurate with our policy interests in this key North
African country. While we want France to shoulder the
lion's share of the burden, we also want to increase our
own influence. For example, I should like to be advised
if it should a,:-pear highly desirable to exceed somewhat
the $15 million FY 1964 AID level currently projected.
Since Prime Minister Ben Bella has requested assistance
from the Peace Corps and the Algerians need just the sort
of help the Peace Corps is ;peculiarly suited to give, I hope
it will be able to respond if other commitments permit.
