in order, with regard to political and governmental structures with secon-

would not deal with American policy or overseas base considerations. This
format was followed throughout the briefings. Communist China, Formosa,
Japan, Okinawa, Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, and Laos were covered.
Although detailed in nature, questioning during the presentation was related
to the information being provided and resulted in a very cordial and relaxed
session.

would like to have had a similar briefing prior to their European and
Middle East trip, but due to lack of experience they had failed to request
it. It was also noted with appreciation that the coverage provided had been
more complete than they had anticipated. The offer was made by Mr. Maury
to provide any further information that might be desired.
