4. Preliminary evaluation of a flight over Northern 25X1
Laos adjacent to Burma and southern China showed improved roads
from northern Laos to the China border and some barracks and l

there was nothing significant. A flight covered NVN military 25X1

of the Chairman JCS is concerned over Italian political developments
particularly over the possibility that extremists on the right and left
may eliminate the center and thus have broad impacts on US interests.

letter to Special Group (CI) members from Maxwell Taylor, State (INR)
has asked for NIE's on "a comprehensive assessment related to the
internal defense situation" in the Dominican Republic and Honduras.
