MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD
Morning Meeting of 19 September 1968
ADD/I noted that the SR-71 flight flew in 100 percent cloud-free
cover in the area just above the 19th parallel.
ADD/I provided an OCI memorandum on the Soviet international
position in the wake of the invasion of Czechoslovakia.
Godfrey commented on the flurry created last night by the New
York Times stringer's report that there had been an invasion of Rumania
and noted that the report washed out.
Godfrey advised that the Mexican Army has occupied the National
Autonomous University of Mexico and that our analysts feel this belated
intervention in the University is likely to produce a strong student
reaction, thereby increasing the chances for disruption of the Olympics.
D/ONE advised that DIA apparently has the word that appropriate
security estimates will be the order of the day in the event any Presi-
dential candidate goes abroad.

board commencing today.

Maury noted that returns on the Director's appearance before the
Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee continue to be laudatory.
*The Director asked Maury to elicit from Russ Blandford the
material to be covered by the Director's appearance before the Rivers
Subcommittee next week so that Pat Conger and company will have
sufficient lead time to organize the testimony.
Maury noted that Senator Mansfield is calling up certain bills
today, including our retirement bill.
DD/S&T advised that a drone was lost yesterday.
DD/P reported that the White House has informed the State Depart-
ment that the President wishes to explore the matter of recognizing
Mongolia. The Director recalled that SIG approved a position paper on
this matter over a year ago and that an updated version of that position
should be of service to the President.
