FAR EAST
1. BURMA: US attitude toward Burma---The Department of
State has informed US Embassy RRangoon that the US is
preparing to "take steps to complement" British and
Commonwealth efforts towards stabilizing Burma and
forestalling Communist subversion in that country. The
Department points out that the UK should accept primary
responsibility for aid to Burma and that the US program is
to be confined mainly to the exchange of personnel and the
extension of technical assistance projects designed to in-
FEB
crease Burma's capabilities for dealing with its own problems.
