MEMORANDUM FOR
The Secretary of State
The Secretary of Defense
The Director of Central Intelligence
ON-FILE NSC RELEASE
INSTRUCTIONS APPLY
SUBJECT: Horn of Africa
(Reference: National Security Study Memorandum 115)
In view of the passage of time, and of intervening developments such as
Emperor Haile SelassieTs visit to the People's Republic of China and
the attempted communist coup in Sudan, the NSC Interdepartmental Group
for Africa is requested to review its response to NSSM 115 and prepare
a brief memorandum updating it. The effect of PRC aid on our interests
in Ethiopia and on suggested policy options is of particular interest as
are any other recent events on the Horn which the IG wishes to bring to
the attention of the Senior Review Group.
The update should be prepared by the NSG Interdepartmental Group for
Africa and submitted to the NSC Senior Review Group by December 1, 1971.
