INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM
The Dominican Republic Situation Report
(Report as of 12:30 PM EST)
1. During the course of the night of 11-12 Jan-
uary it has been reported that "all of the major force
elements" of the Dominican army have been pulled out
of Santo Domingo. The US J-2 reports that the main
troop elements cannot be found in Santo Domingo today
and he "doesn't know where they have gone,,." The J-2
believes the troops may have headed in the Santi-
ago direction, but is not certain.
2. This development is being watched very
closely and attempts are being made to pinpoint the
location of Dominican forces. Further situation re-
ports will be issued immediately as events unfold.
3. If such a large part of the Dominican mili-
tary forces have indeed gone to Santiago, our immedi-
ate appraisal would be that the military have in mind
a plan to set up a government in opposition to the
Garcia Godoy regime,
