tions in Djakarta, Sukarno has closed the schools.

to return to Accra. Ex-Foreign Minister Quaison-Sackey has thrown
in with the new regime.

development of an entirely new weapon for counterguerrilla opera-
tions ?

justifying our use of a limousine. BOB officers and others in Govern-
ment are highly impressed by the work being done by the Agency in
planning, programming, and budgeting. It was agreed that this latter

and perhaps taking other such steps to ensure wider knowledge of our
work in this management field.

the surfacing of a Hungarian defector before the Rivers' subcommittee.
DDCI urged that we no longer in the future plan to surface defectors
