MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE
SUBJECT: The Bandung II Conference
1,='. / 4r 2
The President wishes to encourage sympathetic nonaligned nations
willing to speak up against those who are blindly critical of the US
position in Vietnam.
One of the more imminent focal points of this effort should be to
prevent the Algiers Chiefs of State Conference in late June from
emerging as a platform for anti-US resolutions, especially those
attacking our role in Vietnam. We certainly don't want 60-65 countries,
including many of our friends, hitting us from the flank this way.
So it would be desirable for the appropriate agencies, under the
guidance of the Department of State, to mount a substantial effort
to (a) encourage those attendees friendly to us to organize themselves
to prevent ostensibly unanimous anti-US resolutions from passing;
and (b) ensure that both our purposes and the likely efforts of hostile
elements to use the conference to designate them are made widely
known to those attending. Thought might be given to whether the
President should follow up this effort with personal messages to
certain attending chiefs of state asking them to assume leadership
to this end.
