SECRETARY's NOTES
1. The following statement on the Suez problem, dated 10 August,
prepared by the Chairman, IAC Ad Hoc Working Group on the Arab-
Israeli Situation, has been forwarded to the Secretary, IAC:
a. "In line with the request of the Intelligence Advisory
Committee (IAC-M-250, paragraph 2b, 2 August 1956), the
chairman of the IAC Ad Hoc Working Group on the Arab-
Israeli Situation discussed the Suez situation with the several
working members of the Group.'
b. "It was agreed that at this time the Suez situation
was characterized primarily by developments of a diplomatic
and policy nature and that accordingly a special IAC intelligence
reporting effort would probably not be warranted. The chairman
suggested to the members of the group that he would be ready to
call a meeting whenever any of the members felt changes in the
picture might require a review of the IAC request. "
2. No objection having been raised by a member, the Secretary
has authorized release to USIA of NIE 72-56, "Conditions and Trends in
Tropical Africa," 14 August 1956 (IAC-M-252, 14 August, Secretary's
Note 3).
